Fran (my now-fiancé 🤪), has filmed, shot, edited and published her first-ever YouTube video!

‍

After watching it, I was honestly just left stunned by the fact that she had this idea and hankering to script, shoot, edit and publish a near 7-minute-long ‘Day in my life’ video, and actually followed through and did it.

‍

Not to mention the amount of effort she put in to make it easy to watch - complete with a narrative-thread and everything.

‍

Over the past four years, Fran has opened my eyes to a entirely new way of looking at YouTube and what it means to contribute to the platform.

‍

Where I once saw it as a detached, passive content machine, Fran showed me the sweeter, more community-driven side of it, where subscribers and creators genuinely connect, interact, and are seriously invested in the unfolding stories of each other’s lives.

‍

As a bystander, I can only share how proud I am of her for stepping so far outside of her comfort zone, and right in front of the camera to share what she has to share, and try this new adventure.

‍

I think she absolutely crushed it, and I’m looking forward to seeing this journey unfold.

It's just a game, right?

For those of you who don’t know, I LOVE video games. ‍It all started with Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation 1 when I was around 5 or 6 years old. From that moment on, I was hooked.

SABLE, fABLE

A couple of months ago, I wrote about my favourite band, Bon Iver, releasing a 3-track EP (here’s the definition of what that is - I never knew either) called 'SABLE,' following their last full album, i,i from 2019.

Manage your money like a f*cking grownup

Written by Sam Beckbessinger, Manage your money like a f*cking grownup is arguably one of the best finance books I’ve ever read, especially for South Africans. Beckbessinger uses a comedic and relatable approach to explain vital concepts around managing your money. From tracking, to taxes, to saving, to investments and budgeting, Beckbessinger covers it all in this bestseller. There are even little illustrations throughout for those young at heart.

How to manage your money like the 1%

I stumbled upon this video a while ago, and found that it so perfectly summarises so much of what I’ve learnt about managing your finances over years into just 10minutes. If you’ve never really looked into it, this video is a great place to start. Like all online videos (and advice for that matter), avoid taking the message as law, consider the perspectives and apply those which feels right to your own situation.

The Hobbit

To balance out the very seriousness, I’ve picked up The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien (do I even need to clarify who wrote it?) A story about adventure, and a specific hobbit’s absolute reluctance to participate in it, The Hobbit follows the story of Bilbo Baggins being bombarded by a group of Dwares to go an adventure to the Misty Mountains where a great dragon (Smaug) has taken over and guards a heap of treasure. It’s such a fun read, and such a good ol’ fashioned tale. From this one book, there were four movies made (🤷🏻‍♂️), but still a very fun watch and read.

Die with Zero

This definitely is one that cut straight to the core, and I’m yet to finish listening to it (see previous writing about books that challenge ego).

Enjoyed the reading?  I enjoy the writing.

Writing-out and assembling my reflections into story-formatted pieces to share with strangers on the internet, in the hopes that they may benefit from them, seems to bring me great joy.

If you enjoyed this piece and feel like supporting it, you can do so buying me a virtual coffee.
