  • THE NARCISSIST: I’m on the verge of CZcams burnout, caught in the wicked world of shoot, make, upload, repeat. It’s a good life, and this ain’t a grizzle, no, it’s more of a reflection of how I’ve been sucked into the belief that more is better and consistency is king. I’m sure this can be the case, but it sucks to live by it. And I haven’t fished in too long, and I like fishing. I’m patient when I fish. In fact it’s one of the only places I’m happy to wait.
    Today is a day of attention restoration. Listening to my wandering mind. Paying attention to how and where a fish might be. And trying to do as much as I can while doing as little as possible.

    Your comments reminded me of something Thomas Merton once wrote:
    When an archer is shooting for nothing
    He has all his skill.
    If he shoots for a brass buckle
    He is already nervous.
    If he shoots for a prize of gold
    He goes blind
    Or sees two targets -
    He is out of his mind.
    His skill has not changed, But the prize
    Divides him. He cares,
    He thinks more of winning
    Than of shooting -
    And the need to win
    Drains him of power.

    "Slower with Uploads" - Welcome to my world!
    Beau, your candid reflection in 'Get Over Yourself' really resonates. The way you equate the relentless cycle of content creation to a fisherman's day out-aiming not just to catch fish, but to enjoy the solitude and process-strikes a powerful chord. It's a poignant reminder of the importance of balancing our ambitions with our well-being. Much like the Australian red fox, you find yourself in an environment you've adapted to thrive in, yet the pressures are ever-present. Here’s to finding more of those peaceful moments by the water, where the real catch isn't fish, but a bit of tranquility and self-acceptance. Keep navigating these waters, Beau, your journey helps all of us reflect on our own.

    I always loved that your uploads are not as frequent as the usual content-mania, we're living in. For me it was such a core quality of your stuff, that it happend in a different pace. A pace, which felt so much more natural, genuine and healthy to me.
    I make my living from being an Artist myself and I definitely know that nagging feeling, you're describing. But I truly believe that especially we as creators should be aware, that keepin up the fun is not a trivial side-hustle, but actually our Main Quest.

    Well this one definitely hits home. As someone who also makes adventure films, I can relate to the never ending grind of CZcams, having to pump out weekly or fortnightly videos. Hoping each new one will do better than the last. Obsessing over analytics and subscriber numbers. I had a burnout last year and I'm glad I did. It forced me to sit back and take a look at myself and reevaluate why I do what I do. If you're not doing it for the love of it, the viewers can see straight through it. Tight lines mate.

      ​@@kiprs They really do, and youtubers need to take a joke, not take offense, get off their high horse and, yes, "get over themselves". What that bro said was a very appropriate commentary of this youtube culture we live in, where we meet people filming themselves. So instead of coming over to say hello or shake hands, they turn around and go away to not "ruin their shot". These people are doing content in public all over... they are everywhere... on the bus, on the train, while running, climbing, skiing, boating, whatever. Always talking to their invisible audience, having their effing gopros phonesticks tripods and their drones and talking by themselves about what THEY DO. It is annoying to the normal people. But... when you try to get away to some remote place like a lake or mountain or trail, and you see THE EXACT SAME PEOPLE, even there, is DOUBLE ANNOYING. I've seen people getting angry, rightfully so, when people drive their drones over the lake, scaring the fish away. This is asshole behaviour. Or doing shitty "challenges" or pranks on people who are not in on it. This is the sad reality on "content creators". Of course some are different and I think Beau is, in all honesty. He takes a joke, enjoys what he does and does not bother people. This content, I like. But overall, most people are sick of youtubers.

    That water can bring life and energy to that, can absorb.
    The more we drain that butt, the less that is left. Take from it too often, it shall become empty. But give that butt some time, it shall refill, brimming once again.
    You can't keep taking from what is empty, you need to give things time for the ideas, the spark, the fire within to bring life to our ideas.

I sometimes see friends on big vacation trips and think, "That looks like fun," but then they talk about being exhausted and how they burned their one bit of time off and were always on the go. Meanwhile, almost any weekend, my wife and I can hop in our canoe or go for a morning hike and walk away with more than some people I know doing bigger things.

But like you Beau it's all for the betterment of myself. There will be a time when my kids are grown and life will become simple again. But for now, I will have to bask in the few weeks a year when I can escape from work and my kids' soccer games and spend it fishing and white water rafting. Thanks so much for this.

  • @DiverFPL
    @DiverFPL Před 3 měsíci +2

    This spoke to me. Even though I'm not a youtuber, we all get tangled in the same net of relentless productivity-drivenness. Often being productive in areas we wish we didn't have to be, and less productive in the areas we wish we were. Being a good husband, wife, son, daughter, father, mother, grandchild. Less productive at enjoying the things we enjoy and more productive at bearing with the tasks we need to bear to get by. That's life, and we all have to do it.
    I appreciate this advice though: "Head out with the wrong lures, at a shitty time of day, and don't catch a thing." As someone who's gone fishing for the first time ever a couple of weekends ago, this is very good advice. Trying to get to whatever "moderation" is in life between jobs, family or fun for fun's sake, is a lifelong game of its own.
    I'm confident you'll figure out the CZcams thing Beau, given the way you just ooze storytelling ability. For some reason lately, even though I'm not on patreon, I had also been suspecting the need to upload weighs on you. Personally, I don't mind infrequent uploads, cause I don't pay in anything other than views. I appreciate a man who won't produce anything less than his best efforts.

    I’ve heard another redhead, Conan O’Brien, make a point about audience expectations. When a guest admits they're not doing well in an interview, the audience, previously unaware, suddenly perceives it as a flop, and the energy drops.
    So, believe in yourself Beau, your abilities, and your presence here. Your audience is watching because you've got something worth sharing.

    Another great video thanks Beau. I really loved the camera work and some of the shots of the water really made me want to go out and enjoy nature some more.
    Having stumbled apon your videos of trekking across Australia I instantly subscribed. I'll watch whatever you put up whenever you put it up. I am not expecting a weekly or monthly video nor have you set that expectation so please go easy on yourself. Post something whenever you feel its ready for the world to see ill still be here.

    Beau, just keep being authentic and make quality videos. Make them long, make them short, make them weekly, make them 6 monthly, doesn't matter. Too many make it a business, overthink it, and their authenticity suffers. You have so many subscribers because you are authentic. For me personally I am inspired by you. I have mental health issues and its easy for me to fall into a funk and become super lazy. I've got a million things to do and it becomes easy to not do any of them. I see a new upload from you or the algorithm tells me to watch you run a marathon over 24 hours and BOOM! I'm motivated. Anyway, enough about me. You be you.

  • @cjsevalez

    I've got to say, I always feel revitalised after watching one of your videos and I'd hate to think that the process of making them was having a negative effect on you. The CZcams hole is endless, the industrial mindset finding a way to consume and cannibalise our ideas and creativity.

    When I hear you reflect it provides moments of instant clarity & realisation, it’s like someone flicks and switch and boom that thing I was worried about or not worried about is pulled into focus.
    It’s the same with your video about training for the ultra marathon. I’ve got into running recently and I’ve been constantly trying to do better or run further or run faster, and I hadn’t thought it would burn me out. When I watched your video about training ‘with tech’ for the first time and not chasing the numbers it was the same feeling of realisation - why am I worried about this when I should just be enjoying the run?
    Part of what makes your videos unique is you, and if that means your faults as a person as well as your personality, then that’s what makes your content work. Keep doing what you’re doing 🙂

    This one really hit home Beau. It's the reason I've always struggled to be consistent with my uploads. There's relentless pressure to create videos that are bigger, better, and more... everything. If a video doesn't have great click potential, why even upload it? You're right, the fillers are the ones that we want to make, the ones we make for ourselves, the ones that are fun for us. You rock.

    Taking a break from work while also working during the break. This theme has come up in plenty of Beau's films along the way and it always ends with the same conclusion, stop worrying, you're okay...... and I think it's bloody true. There's no good if there's no bad and no fun if there's no work in the same manner. Both sides must thrive to achieve equilibrium and that's the beauty of it really, The beauty of balance.
