Right now.ĭon’t be inside of yourself, constipated and scared and angry. So they comment.ĭo you get angry and comment about art? Or do you create art. When constipated they need to find some outlet to feel like they are better than Casey. They do what is called “junk status binging.” The next several hundred were: “But the lens!” “Why did you throw out the lens!?” “There are many video makers who could’ve used that lens!!!” He finally responded: “I did everything I could to fix it. People forgot the entire point of the video in order to feed their anger. ![]() ![]() People hated so much they took the time to comment on a YouTube video in the middle of the galaxy. “How can you break a valuable camera!” Or ” Why didn’t you give it to someone!” or “Why didn’t you try to fix it!” Break the routine.īut 100s of comments underneath were outraged. Learn from that technique in writing, video-making, painting, public speaking. It’s a great way to vary up the dialogue about “quitting” and give us something to anchor on in the middle of the video. In the middle of the video, Casey takes a camera that is no longer working for him and smashes it. Congratulate yourself that you started something.

The other thing I started was a hedge fund.Īny way, both businesses failed. Not the marriage part, where maybe too much energy was put into.īut when I was getting a divorce I had started a business called “Jungle Smash”, which allowed people to crowdsource commercials for mainstream brands in exchange for monetary prizes.
