UGC Updates, Gaming Grinds, & Why I’m Raising My Rates

Описание: Good morning, YouTube ☀️

In this vlog I’m talking openly about UGC life — low-paying offers, setting boundaries, and figuring out when it’s worth doing “extras” for future relationships. I also share some big 2026 goals, new UGC deals (including a meme gaming collab 👀), agency updates, and a little gaming progress in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Ravenlok.

Balancing UGC, a full-time remote job, family life, and filming is honestly stressful sometimes, but this is all part of building something long-term. If you’re a creator trying to figure out rates, workload, or when to say no, this one’s for you.

💬 Drop your 2026 goals in the comments — career, gaming, health, anything.
