that's right I was interviewed alongside some of the biggest youtubers like
PewDiePie Casey Neistat and many others and it's pretty nuts and we were
talking about youtuber burnout what is everybody this is Chris from the rewired
soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new
to my channel my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is
pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to
improve your mental and emotional well-being so if any of that stuff make
sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell so yeah
this last few days has been crazy I didn't realize I was interviewed
alongside these dude but anyways before I get into that make sure you follow me
over on Instagram after we work so we are so close so close to the ten
thousand follower goal and just think about it if each one of you who watches
this video just hits the little follow button I'll be hit 10,000 followers in
no time we can get that swipe up feature and life will be amazing for you as well
as for me oh the joy it brings me to just even think about it
all right well yeah make sure you follow me over on Instagram and over on Twitter
at the reward so I ask a lot of questions I interact with you guys a lot
I try to do research for some of my videos just by finding out where your
guys behaviors of thoughts and you know all these things are and it helps all of
us so anyways make sure you follow me so yeah I was interviewed by insider online
website one of the two I was interviewed by Lindsey over there and it was crazy
like she reached out to me when was this this was like November or December when
my channel started to get that big bump and I just want to say like I'm
extremely extremely honored to be interviewed alongside some of these
other amazing creators and just you know for somebody who who struggles with a
posture syndrome I know a lot of you have asked me about impostor syndrome
yeah like when you get like hate comments and you know some of the stuff
I've been through recently you know it makes me question like am I good at what
I'm doing what am i doing you know and the release of this
came at a great time because you know if someone is huge as insider is willing to
interview me and talk to me about youtuber burnout and mental health why
I'm doing something wrong so yeah it's his balance between like
getting that confidence and staying humble at the same time so yeah I'm very
humbled by the fact that I got to be interviewed alongside people like
PewDiePie and Casey Neistat Kati Morton was a part of it and some
other so yeah basically they they were interviewing us about youtuber burnout
and this is something that I've talked about many times on my channel so
PewDiePie in his part of the article he talks about how you know there's this
pressure to go go go go go and it's part of your job and PewDiePie has been under
more pressure lately which I've debated on making videos about this because the
whole competition with t-series and you know letting you know your your role or
your spot define who you are so I wonder if this is something that PewDiePie's
does because I know a lot of useful with this like one of the main reasons people
get so depressed after like losing a job or even a relationship is because we tie
it in so closely with our identity right but I will say this about PewDiePie he
has a great relationship with his fiancee Marzia I think I said that right
on one of my last videos he has a great relationship you know and he is somebody
who also knows when to take a break he is the largest youtuber on the platform
and he also takes breaks like him and Marcia go to like Japan and all of that
but the other thing is to but we're talking about youtuber burnout like I
look at people like PewDiePie as you know someone to look up to on this
platform so when we're talking about burnout right a lot of people get
concerned about me burning out cuz I pump out so many videos but look at the
largest creator on the platform I always try to teach you guys if you want what
they have you got to do what they do right so I want what PewDiePie has so I
got to do what he does and he's making daily videos right so he has an editor
all of you know my zach is my editor he added sometimes
especially if I'm busy I'm gonna spend some time with twisted or my son or
whatever and that's how we find balance so great for PewDiePie for doing that
but PewDiePie also has these other balls said he's juggling right yes is his
merch line he's working with you know sponsors and brands and all these other
things you know so he doesn't do as many public appearances anymore but he has a
lot of stuff going on and this takes hustle right but PewDiePie has been open
on his channel about burnout you know forced happiness and many other
things too so then you got my boy Casey nice that one of my favorite creators
Casey Niestat somebody who I just started watching when he started 3 6 8
I'm like Mike I've heard of this guy but let me check it out and I love his
editing style but I think what made me fall in love with Casey was his tattoo
and what's it safe to say do more I guess two tattoos about just like
working hard right and and yeah for sure so funny story when I saw Casey Neistat
that was in the article with me and then he made a video about it and like my
little notification came up that case and I had a video about this I'm like oh
my god my heart was beating I'm like Casey nice that's gonna talk about me
Casey nice that's gonna talk about me in this video and this video only being
released yesterday I already have a million views like oh my god Casey nice
that's gonna talk to me this is gonna be my big break there's gonna be it right
so I sat down I watched it I don't know why I haven't been that nervous in a
long time and coming to the end of the video Casey nice that didn't say squat
about me anyways like I started the video and Casey actually replied back to
me and here's his tweet right here where you know he talks about you know just
editing stuff down and all of that and I absolutely get it and Casey ended up
following me on Twitter so oh oh I'll give them a pass I'll give them a pass
this time but Casey next time a three six eight events going on I better be
invited but I want to show you this clip right here and there's been a lot of
talk of like hustle porn lately that is like glamorizing glorifying
romanticizing this idea of hustle work all the time
I believe in that I really do what it took for me to get this channel from
200,000 subscribers to 10 million was not sleeping was uploading every single
day for like two and a half years I busted my ass to build this channel and
I appreciate that and I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for people who
aren't willing to do that but want the success hard-worked
is always required to get to where you want to be so yeah that was that was one
of the standout clips that I saw right like so many people want this thing so
many people wanted the reward without putting in the work right and and for me
like you know I don't know if it's a society thing people say it's a
generational thing or whatever but we get so entitled we get so so so entitled
we want all the good without having to put it into the work right I know I know
when it comes to my mental health when it comes to my work my addiction
recovery when it comes to YouTube when it comes to my job when it comes to you
know being you know in a relationship with my beautiful girlfriend Tristan or
being a father to my son I have to put in the work if I want the rewards so I'm
so glad that Casey said that but one of the reasons I bring so many mental
health topics about youtubers to my channel is because I know so many of you
out there watching this especially kids especially kids you want to be a
youtuber but you don't understand what comes along with it right we have to
understand that with with these things that we want with these goals that we
have there's gonna be new stresses right and this is why youtuber burnout is such
a thing so they also interviewed people like Kati Morton and Kati Morton has
done a lot of collab videos with people like Elle Mills most recently she talked
with the try guys about taking a mental health break
Kati also was in Shane Dawson series and she talked with Shane Dawson after the
series about Jake Paul and all that stuff but when they interviewed me I was
glad I was able to bring in a different kind of perspective because although I'm
not a licensed therapist I hate myself a lot in you know psychology mental health
neuroscience but also just like happy I love Buddhist philosophy and all these
things so the the section about me in this article was about value systems and
this is like the number one thing that I think youtubers need to really keep in
check with and what we're talking about value systems is first off asking
yourself why do you want this why do you want to be a youtuber what is your
motivation behind it right because what I see from my perspective is a lot of
people get into this for the for the fame for the money or whatever and what
happens is is that that is an extrinsic value right so an extrinsic value is a
value that is something outside of ourselves so the money the followers the
subscribers or whatever it is the problem with that is is that there's
never enough there's something that they talk about
being Buddhist philosophy as well as there's a book called in the realm of
the Hungry Ghost they call us you know part of the human condition is a Hungry
Ghost right and that's in a ghost that just keeps eating but the food just
keeps falling out right there's never enough you know and this in my opinion
is what I think a lot of youtubers struggle with because they they keep
wanting more and more and more and more and more right so my values my
motivation for starting this channel despite with some of the negative
comments say I have intrinsic values okay I'm not looking for the followers
I'm not looking for the you know the subscribers I'm not looking for you know
the money and yeah I know some of you are gonna be like but didn't you say in
the beginning that you wanted followers on Instagram listen I just want the
swipe up feature if I can get the swipe up feature at five followers I literally
would not care but my goal is to help as many people as possible
all right that's all I want so the only reason I even care about views and
subscribers is because I want to help people so some people you know they
don't like the way I do my content or my content strategy but here's the thing I
have 700 videos and my first like three or four hundred videos wasn't really
using youtubers or pop culture at all and nobody was watching it like why am I
going to you know make a like have a passion of helping people if nobody can
see it they'll be like putting a hospital on a deserted island
you know what I mean so I I needed to get my message out to people so they can
see it and I just happen to find out that if I use youtubers for context to
talk about mental health I'm able to reach a larger audience all right so
that's a little bit of the method to my madness and why I talk about it
so part of the reason I started this channel like my main goal is to help all
of you because if you look at you know the situation there's way more YouTube
viewers than there are YouTube creators right but I'd be lying if I if I didn't
say like at some point I want to get to a place where I can help more youtubers
you know I'm gonna help you know my peers people doing the same thing and as
my channel grows I have a lot of YouTube content creator friends who reach out to
me we talk to each other on DMS or like on the phone or whatever and they talk
to me about the stresses and struggles and it makes me so happy that they can
turn to me and I can talk to him about this stuff but one of the issues that I
see is that so many youtubers want they want their cake and eat it too right
they want everything both ways so one of the reasons why we have to check in with
our extrinsic values versus intrinsic values is so many youtubers want the
fame they want the money they want the attention they want the popularity they
want all these things but you guys have seen it if you're a subscriber to my
channel you've seen it they don't want people talking about them
they don't want people to talk to them or shed any light that may even be
perceived as negative like you guys that's not how the world works
all right you can't ask for millions and millions and millions and millions of
eyes to be on you and for nobody to talk about your situation like that's not how
it is so this is something we're for like any aspiring youtuber you've got to
realize that watch and learn from these other
youtube's youtubers see what the struggles are that they're dealing with
right so one of the things I'll say that helps me with my mental health as a
youtuber is people who have taught me like roberto blake and gary vee or gary
vaynerchuk right like like Roberto and I were buddies we actually talk a lot but
Gary Vee I um I talked to him once at that summit but what I'm getting at is
they taught me to fall in love with the process okay they
teach me to fall in love with the numbers they teach me to fall in love
with the money right all those things are great but they taught me to fall in
love with the process okay and that is super important I absolutely love what I
do I am so grateful every single day a few months ago I was able to start doing
this full-time and like that's the dream like that's the dream right I'm my own
boss I get to do my own thing I get to be creative I get to help others I love
that and I love that process so what's interesting on the topic of YouTube
burnout is I put this poll up yesterday right or two days ago and I asked you
guys would you prefer me you know only uploading once a day what's fascinating
I've never in a million years thought that this would be the result and what I
mean is the comments and this is why the rewired soldiers are legit legit the
best subscriber base out there on YouTube because most of you who said you
would prefer me to go down to one video a day you were more concerned about me
it wasn't that you don't have enough time to keep up with the content there
were a few people who said that like it's very rare that anybody said that
most of you were just worried about me most of you were worried about me
burning out like how cool is that I love you I love you but just to give you a
little bit more than my perspective I hustle I work hard and like I can get
lazy I can procrastinate and a video from start to finish takes me like from
the time I've set up sit down record edit upload takes me maybe an hour and a
half to two hours right so like if I'm doing this for a full-time job and eight
hour a day like if I'm only working for two hours I will go absolutely insane
like I like I don't I don't know what to do with myself what am I gonna do sit
and binge watch Netflix play video games all day like I just love being
productive I love talking to people I love putting out content that might be
able to help people so like I would truly go insane if I only worked two
hours a day and only did one video a day I don't have enough going on yet to do
you know to fill up that time but here's some exciting news on my
channel I am changing things up some of you who have already noticed this so
I've been talking a lot with Tristan I've been talking with all of you so
what I want to do is do my best to stick to two videos a day not three but two
and here's the thing I want to start doing more research a lot of you have
really loved what I've been doing tying in like psychology and sociology and
neuroscience and I love to learn so I'm gonna try to do a morning video and an
evening video on all the days that I can do it unless I'm like traveling or got
family stuff going on or I'm sick or whatever but that's what I'm gonna try
to do so I'm gonna try to do a morning video and an evening video and put more
like scientific or psychological or evidence-based information in there
because I love teaching people I truly believe one of the keys to improving
your mental health is to understand more about the way your mind works and so and
as well as some of what the greatest minds and psychology and mental health
think about all this stuff the last thing that I'll mention is I just
started therapy I actually just started therapy with better help online therapy
and you know a lot of people like the whole scam thing or whatever I'm
actually journaling and documenting my my journey with this whole thing but
yeah something like something I often teach other youtubers is that listen you
have the money get therapy whether it's through a therapist in your local area
or it's through better help or whatever it is get therapy and as my channel
grows like I've noticed that I am struggling with some of my own things so
I'm giving therapy a try so I've been documenting this journey so I will be
making a video about my experience with better help the UPS the Downs and you
know all that because I've only been doing it a few days now and there's
always already been some ups and downs and I going out of my mind so I will
talk about that but if you're interested in trying better help online therapy the
link is always in the description and all that everything's been fine so far
the therapist that I have I looked her up she's fully licensed so everything's
going great so far but I will keep you posted on that
all right but anyways again thank you so much to Insider and Lindsey they have
lovely journalists I got to talk to you you're awesome I'm so honored to be
interviewed as part of this and I look forward to trying to keep helping as
many people as possible including all of my favorites lovely amazing YouTube
