There are some incredible benefits of being a creator and putting things out into the world. There are also hidden challenges that often go by beneath the surface. Jesse and Levi unpack the struggles of facing those challenges head-on at the end of every year, and what it feels like to disappoint yourself over and over. They also explore the challenge of loving oneself and the unhealthy cycle of getting to the end of the year and feeling like they haven't done enough or accomplished what they wanted to. They also talk about how to navigate creating content, particularly in the noisy world of YouTube, and the importance of overcoming initial technical obstacles in order to focus on creating more engaging content.
