Summary

In this first vlog, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone to finally document my life - a decision sparked by the tragic passing of vlogging legend Adam the Woo. Although I never knew him personally, seeing a creator my age pass away was a wake-up call. Watching his work, alongside creators like Hey Brickey, made me realize we’re all on borrowed time. 2025 has been a difficult year for me and my wife Rachel. In April, she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. While she’s recovering with grace, the fear of that diagnosis changed my perspective. I realized that if we don’t tell our own stories, they might eventually be lost or aggregated into an AI soup. I want my voice and my life to be part of the permanent human record. This vlog is my attempt to stop screwing around and get serious about creating. I’m hoping it will not only help me process the challenges we’ve faced, but also inspire others who may be in a similar situation to start documenting their lives too. After all, life is short - we shouldn’t wait for the perfect moment to begin.
