when you're in holiday when you got some time off in your mind and suddenly you can have new [Music] ideas hello [Music] so it is the Hebrew New Year's sh here in Israel yesterday we kind of had this family dinner and today and tomorrow is also holiday but right now no took tell me to her parents for lunch so I got a couple of hours that I'm going to try to get some work done uh and I wanted to share with you kind of one of those things that happens when you're in holiday when you got some time off in your mind and suddenly you can have new ideas so it actually happened while listening to two podcasts so I was riding my bike going for a swim and listening to a podcast by my friend uh Sagi I'll link this podcast in the description below and he was interviewing this guy really awesome guy named Jason about all these crazy stuff that he's done he's been you know getting sponsors for wearing t-shirt sold his family name a lot of crazy entrepreneurial stuff and I was really really inspired by that and it kind of struck me like hey why am I not getting sponsors for this you know for this Vlog it's it's totally legitimate I can do that I can start making money out of it and it just kind of had this thought in my head that I should probably try doing that uh this guy Jason has a kind of an online class about hot togate sponsors and it looked interesting to me it kind of made me think about this then I was going out for drinks with some other friends listening to another podcast by James aler which is also really inspiring guy and he was talking to some other woman I don't remember her name right now but anyway he was kind of saying how he pivots every 5 years his life is completely different and he changes everything and he kind of realizes what works this moment and what he likes doing and then he puts all the efforts into it and then you know yesterday when I was just playing playing with Tomy I was like throwing him in the air and all of a sudden something's you know connected in my mind into an idea that's kind of a transformation about an old old idea that I had which was that I'll get some sponsors not one sponsor but a couple of sponsors which will allow me to not do any client work and then in my time kind of do volunteer work to you know kind of nonprofits and some you know do good with design you know help with with design with my skills to people who can't really afford good designs maybe they're in some you know third world country or maybe their organization without um a lot of money and then it would kind of this channel would kind of be like kind of like a reality show of how you can use design for good and change the world with the design and I kind of fell in love in this idea and I started thinking about it and actually realizing that maybe I can even make more money than this doing this than in my client work because I kind of realize how much I enjoy vlogging and showing the process and right now when I'm working with you know normal clients I can't really share the whole process with you guys so I got really excited about this also honestly I got scared because when you have those good ideas but good ideas but that can really mean to change your life I mean for me I don't know what that means for the new school or mean firing the clients that I've been working with for 2 years so kind going all in with the new ideas is really really scary you know and I'm not I'm totally not sure I'm going to do that and that's the thing that sometimes because you are scared of new ideas you might end up not doing them just because it's much easier to you know keep doing what you're doing it's it's safe and it works for now so why change that um so I wanted to share that with you because I'm right now in in the position that where I have this new idea really exciting idea and I'm not sure what to do I'm not sure if I should take action on it I'm actually pretty sure that I could get sponsors and actually get this done so I'm confident that I can do this I'm just not sure I don't know I'm I'm in this position where I'm not sure so I'm probably going to think about this and suddenly I'm really happy that this is the holiday season I got a lot of days to myself to really think you know what's the next thing for me and where am I in a in a pivot point in my life where I have to change my life or something so that's it just wanted to share this with you guys maybe this will happen maybe it won't but I'll keep you up to date with that now I'm going to try to get some you know tasks done progress Prospero a little bit get up catch up on emails and be productive a little bit all right finished everything I had to do for today n and Tommy still are not back so I'm uh taking the afternoon to go meet a friends fly some drones which I haven't been doing for a while and I'm super excited I really want to try today fly the Drone with a Google headset VR I'm excited I think it's going to be so awesome [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] all right that was pretty crazy I really enjoyed that first flight was really fun then yeah the technology still doesn't work that perfect there's still a bit of latency but still really fun to do anyways hope you guys have a great day I'll catch you tomorrow [Music]
