Running injuries are just a fact of life... or so we've been led to believe. What if there was a better technique, a technique other countries have been doing for years?

Just a Quick Update - Feb 2020

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know what's going on behind the scenes,I'm working on a few larger projects simultaneously right now, videos that I've wanted to do for a while but didn't have the time to dedicate to researching. If you've been following along in the Discord or on Twitter and Instagram, there's a good chance you've figured out the next topic, but just for good measure the attached picture is another hint. I've been waiting on a few other...

Acknowledging the Past | Columbus in Context

Some of my earlier videos, namely In Defense of Columbus, need some clearing up or require additional context. Let's use the power of 2020 hindsight to fix that.

New End Card

I've needed to change the way I do the end card/patron shout outs at the end of a video since my channel took off a year ago. But every month when it came time to do it, I didn't have enough time to re-invent the wheel and just kept using the one I had, which was an absolute pain.Most creators just copy/paste their entire patron list into their videos, which is clearly the smarter move. I was hand-typing every person, changing the size, color, and spacing for each name, trying to figure ...

How a Knowing Better Video is Made

Many of you have asked about my process over the last few months, so I figured I’d finally write something to that effect. This is *in general* of course, every video is different.I have a running list of suggested topics and ideas, but oftentimes, I am thinking at least a video or two ahead. While working on the Healthcare video, I’d occasionally think of a story I wanted to tell in my Veterans video, so I would write it down and hope the notes make sense a week or two from now – it doesn...

Announcement Regarding My Production Schedule

***You may have seen me post this elsewhere, but because you all support me directly, I wanted to make sure you were aware of what's going on in better detail.Hey everyone, I am about to film my next video on Healthcare, but I wanted to give you a heads up that the video might be a day or two late.I know that I've been pretty dodgy with my schedule as of late - you're used to seeing me every 2-3 weeks. I've had giant topics like the Armenian Genocide and Healthcare on my list for...

A Page of Notes: MLMs

I've been working on a video about Multi-Level Marketing schemes for a few weeks now. But since it's been so long since my last video, I thought I should post proof that I'm actually still doing something.None of this needs to make sense to you right away, the video will obviously put this in context. But I figured it might be interesting to let you peek at the creative process.

Denying Your History | Armenian Genocide

The Holocaust was not the first genocide, not even the first of the 20th century, and it was inspired by an event which took place three decades earlier.

Accidentally Inspiring Colonialism | Marco Polo

A merchant's travel guide, full of misremembered facts, embellishments, and fabrications completely altered the course of history.

Quick Life Update

Hey everyone, I don't usually post things like this, but I wanted to let you all know what's going on behind the scenes here on my end.Before Vidcon I had a minor medical issue that is ongoing and will hopefully be cleared up soon. But I also set myself up to move immediately following Vidcon, which was on my mind the entire trip. As many of you know, I like to keep my private life private, but the place I'm moving to is nicer in every way - I won't have noisy upstairs neighbors,...

Asking Better 4: The Revenge

Another year, another round of questions.A note for Patrons: I pulled the list of names for this video on July 5. If you pledged after that date, I apologize that your name wasn't included on the list. I didn't do any verbal shout outs in this video, I figured you'd want your name said during an actual content video.
