Feels Like I'm Playing House
Welcome to "Just Show Up," a podcast where I, Ben Hillman, share my personal journey of self-discovery, creativity, and personal growth as I navigate through the ever-evolving landscape of life. After a two-year hiatus, I'm back and ready to tackle the challenges ahead, from working on exciting projects at my job to cultivating a fulfilling personal life. Each week, I will recap my experiences, discuss what's coming up, and provide valuable insights and advice to help you face your own struggles and triumphs. If you're looking for an honest and relatable podcast that will inspire you to show up, face your fears, and embrace the unknown, "Just Show Up" is the perfect place to start. Join me on this incredible journey as I learn, grow, and share my story with you. Ben discusses his recent feelings of melancholy and the importance of working on personal projects alongside his professional work. He talks about his current job at Paddle, where he creates podcasts and videos, and how he still yearns to work on his YouTube channel. Ben shares his realization of feeling like he's "playing house" in his adult life, as well as the satisfaction and contentment he's found with his current situation. He touches on his anxiety disorder and the methods he uses to cope with it, including focusing on one task at a time through the use of to-do lists and productivity software like Notion. Finally, Ben sets goals for the upcoming week, which include creating a trailer for a new podcast, preparing a website launch, and keeping other ongoing projects on track.

How to Persevere on YouTube in 2020
Support me on Patreon: http://bit.ly/slackpatreon View this video on YouTube: http://bit.ly/persevere2020 The biggest lesson I've learned recently is focusing on Actions instead of Results. If you want to Persevere on YouTube in 2020, you need to focus on what you can influence (your actions) instead of what you cannot directly control (views, subscribers, etc). I talk more about that in this episode. #DigitalAwareness #YouTube #2020 Slacker Stuff: Searching for Meaning in Digital Awareness https://www.slackerstuff.com/ _ _ _ _ _ Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/slackerstuff Twitter: http://twitter.com/slackerstuffs Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/slackerstuff Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/slackerstuff LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/slackerstuff/ Anchor: https://anchor.fm/slackerstuff _ _ _ _ _ My Gear: Camera Panasonic G7: https://amzn.to/2q8ChV2 DJI Spark Drone: https://amzn.to/2oxqr6G Lenses: Panasonic 25mm MFT Lens: https://amzn.to/31dwk6d Sigma 16mm F/1.4 MFT Lens: https://amzn.to/2VYYKzX Variable ND Filter: https://amzn.to/2IQEJpN Lighting: Viltrox LED Light Panel: https://amzn.to/2nIZ0pS Audio Rode VideoMicro Microphone: https://amzn.to/2IPgUhU Zoom H1: https://amzn.to/2WapFZL Stabilization: Koolehaoda Monopod: https://amzn.to/31dwk6d JOBY GorillaPod: https://amzn.to/2MfBE4T Neewer Panoramic Ball Head: https://amzn.to/2MYXOY7 Other Helpful Tools: Parrot Telepromter 2: https://amzn.to/32cQNcI Neewer 3-Wheel Camera Dolly: https://amzn.to/2oxplb4 Neewer 47.2 inch Camera Slider: https://amzn.to/2VIoT5D

Searching for Meaning in Digital Awareness
Support me on Patreon: http://bit.ly/slackpatreon We're all connected to each other with the touch of our button. We've never had this sort of relationship with each other before. Is an internet relationship the same as a "real world" relationship? Should we be using social media as a replacement for interactions or is it something that enhances our experience? Frankly, I don't know. But I'd like to find out.
