Today is not going to be how to produce really fancy videos with a 3, 000 camera and edit it and make a YouTube following like Mr. Beast. Anyone know who Mr. Beast is? Yeah. It's not, that's not that. This is how you can have tangible impact immediately. with the lowest barrier to entry. And if there's anything you leave with today, it should be the fact that you can get started.

Because getting started is literally the hardest part. You don't have to worry about editing, looking good, creativity, all these things. You just have to get started.
