1,000 video podcasts.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

This is the 1,000th episode. And it kind of snuck up on me, it’s been a while.

This is counting from when I first started, Brian J. Pombo Live. But that isn’t where it all started.

So initially, I had started doing YouTube videos, and I still have a handful out there from the first first couple years. That started in, I believe it’s July of 2015.

Following that, I had spent a lot of time editing videos and everything else. But I didn’t really have a direction, I didn’t have it tied to my business or anything else.

It was more experimenting with YouTube, seeing what works, seeing what doesn’t work, playing around by interviewing other YouTubers and so forth and seeing how that affected you can see how I was completely messing around with genres and everything just in that those handful of videos that came out, just me kind of playing around.

I had a lot of people that I looked up to in the world of YouTube and I wanted to see how they did it and then kind of have a perspective on I did.

It’s a lot of hard work if you’re going to put out quality content, which I’m not saying that I did. I’m saying that if you’re going to achieve going anywhere near that, it takes a lot of work and a lot of dedication.

So I knew it was going to be a while before I could really do that, to the full extent of how I wanted to do it. Just because life became more hectic.

After 2015, more kids, everything else, it just snowballed. So it’s one of those things that that’s kind of how it works.

I fell into audio podcasting during the Off-the-Grid Biz Podcast. And that was a lot of fun. Within the first month or two of doing that, I realized that I wanted to have something that was completely different from that but still played into my business.

Even the direction of my business has changed so much since that first very first episode of Brian J Pombo. Live in 2019, in May of 2019.

Everything has changed. Everything and nothing, I mean really, I’m doing the same things. I refer to a lot of the things that I do differently.

Because it’s a lot clearer to say that I’m a Business Investor than it is being a strategist. That was confusing people.

When I really stepped back and looked at what I did, it really was more business investing. And it’s something that I’ve really had a lot of fun with. You can see the progression.

If you went and looked and watched or listen to these podcasts all through the years, you would see the progression. You would say this is very different than how it started.

But in the same sense, I had the book partway through, I had started doing interviews with people, which I’m still doing, we’ll have more coming out in the future.

It’s one of those things where it just keeps going and keeps going and keeps going. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve been happy for those of you who have stuck around with it.

Love to see what you think about where we’ve been, where we’ve come and where we’re going. What would you like to see more or less of love to find out, leave a comment wherever you’re watching this.

Otherwise, I’m going to keep going with it. And I’ll talk more about where I was in the beginning versus where I am now in terms of where I see it going. What has been the best advantages to having a video slash audio podcast that is relatively unedited.

I throw things out a lot more nowadays for quick edits. But for the most part, it’s just a day by day thing. It’s been a wild ride.

Thank you for joining me. We’ll see on the next episode.

In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.
