For the first podcast in over 2 years, we're covering my biggest mistake on YouTube so far. We'll be deep-diving into the most essential YouTube mistakes you need to avoid, how algorithmic/retention editing f**ked me up and the countless ways your ego will try and sabotage you in your creative endeavours.

We'll cover creative ego, quality vs. quantity, why the "big 3" took so long, the future of my YouTube channels, my failed leap of faith with consulting + content, doing what's required, energetic alignment, the power of getting to peace within your creative projects, and a whole lot more.

So excited to be back. Subscribe if you're new and into self-improvement and truth-seeking.

In this episode of The Journal, I share why I left social media for 2+ months, how the journey of content catchup is helping me become a better video creator, and using the "wobble" I felt from social justice warriors with limited perspective to further my awakening on a spiritual level.

I talk about rethinking who my friends are based on how they approached 2020, taking complete accountability responsibility for all at the highest of levels, the realization that it's all happening "for me" — to help me awaken at a soul level, and the subtle ways ego can manifest in myself.

I share the new 2 stage process I've used to effectively edit my weekly vlogs in higher quality, and how incredible it feels to be levelling up the quality of my vlogs, my master plan for growth on my podcast and vlogs.

After listening to myself talk for months on end, I share an honest evaluation of my communication style, the simple hack I'm using to stop swearing so much, and my ideal camera set up (which may or may not include a full frame camera, plus a point and shoot).

I also discuss lockdown, my challenge with people not looking at the data, my guilty pleasure on YouTube and my new enjoyment of rap (???).

• Gamifying the content catchup process
• How I've shifted my recording style to minimal vlogs (and why)
• Closing the gap on the quality of my inspirations' content compared to my content quality
• Why editing The Process 025 was gamechanger for my video editing style, essentialism, and detachment
• Why I'm actively cutting out bulls**t from my communication
• Why freedom and a camera are my biggest incentives for getting caught up
• Why I'm so excited about getting a camera, what it's going to fix — as well as what no amount of camera equipment will ever fix
• My updated favourite music genre rankings (it's different ever podcast I swear)
• Why I'm considering retiring from music festivals
• Applying mental budgets for positive behaviour
• The biggest changes I've made in Notion systems recently
• Leveraging Jupiter's energy for progress

Azel/Giuseppe Cuna is a world class beatboxer and social media influencer.

Azel is known for being the Italian beatbox champion, along with his iconic signature sounds of Liquid Bass and Vortex Whistle and for his passionate love of riddim, dubstep and similar genres of bass music.

He's created multiple viral beatbox covers of songs for Svdden Death, and connected the worlds of dubstep and beatbox in 2020 by creating the first half beatbox, half dubstep song with Snails.

In addition, he's also one of the most genuine, kind and passionate souls I've ever met and I'm fortunate to call him one of my best friends.

Like the visual of experience of video? Check of the podcast version below:
https://youtu.be/-d0oDSpo5eg

In the Azel interview, we get into his secret passions, what it's like to be such a public facing person at a young age, and what Azel was like as a kid — and how his childhood qualities apply to his present self.

We cover the journey of how he came a world class beatboxer — from how he discovered beatbox, to the most intense year of work he put in, to becoming the Italian beatbox champion at the ripe age of 17 years old.

Throughout, we highlight the journey he's had with developing his signature sounds — the famous Azel liquid bass & vortex whistle — as well as struggles he had in the early days of beatboxing, and why he continued to persevere even though he wasn't good at the beginning.

We discuss the moment he realized he needed to do beatbox, why he turned beatboxing into a serious thing, how he discovered dubstep through beatboxing, and where he got his name from.

Digging deeper, his mindset is explored as we unwrap how he thinks about challenges, accepting failure to use it for growth, "randomness", the positives and negatives of his obsessive nature, and the powerful self belief he has for himself.

We also talk about hitting 1 million views at 17 years old, connecting the EDM world with beatbox world, his journey with learning to view himself as an artist.

And last but not least, we have multiple laugh attacks (including from Azel's loathing of Facebook) and nerd out on our favourite tracks from 2010 era of dubstep.

Expect Azel/Giuseppe to return in the near future for multiple follow up episodes where we'll go deeper into the psychology of success, our perspectives on the world, our systematic approaches — and a lot more.
