100 Subscribers! 🎉 | Life Between Jobs & The "Monk Mode" Content Plan

Описание: January 2026 has already brought a mix of quiet reflection and milestones. 🏔️ In this 6th episode of my monthly creator vlog series, I’m diving into what it’s like to be between IT Project Management contracts (my FTE daytime job/career), hitting my first 100 subscribers on ALU2 Productions, and finding my rhythm in the chaos of "monk mode."

With the family away for a few weeks, I’m using this time to reset and refocus, get back in the gym, catch up on sleep, and tackle a massive backlog of video projects. I'm also discussing the mental battle of productivity vs. giving yourself grace.

In this episode:
The 100 Sub Milestone: Why slow growth is still progress.
Networking & Wisdom: Insights from my chat with Skyler Jenkins about the "Umbrella Philosophy" and why you don't always need to niche down.
Upcoming Projects: Wrapping up Madden 26 Superstar Mode and moving into my winter-themed Red Dead Redemption 2 cinematic series.
The Big Goal: Transitioning from IT Project Management to full-time creative work in video without losing my soul to the "YT algorithm."
