Missing Pieces

I discuss "Guys Week", a week that Clark and I did everything he wanted and made the most of each day that Mrs Brickitect was on vacation with her best friend in Maryland.

I discuss our experience traveling to Philadelphia and visiting the Mutter Museum, Franklin Institute, and Adventure Aquarium.

I discuss our vacation the Outer Banks, LEGO sets I purchased while I  was there, being an introvert, and rekindling a friendship with my best  friend from high school.

I read your responses to a recent community post I did asking whether resellers are bad and give my thoughts on the topic as well.

I discuss my YouTube content creating journey.

I discuss our rainy Memorial Day, my streaming strategy, moving from  Patreon to YouTube memberships, filming my days and creating stories, my  progress in getting healthier, read listener feedback and so much more!

I make a return to the podcast to discuss the importance of taking some time to reflect on your life and goals and then making a path to get to where you want to be in the future.

Taking some time off to reflect on my priorities, goals, and direction in life.

I discuss how I accomplished my goal of filming solo vlogs of my days,  my decision to not buy a new car and what I'm doing to mine.  I also  talk about how I am enjoying my green screen, my space coin issue, my  new pokemon card collection, and how I am getting into reselling and  being inspired by my friends.  I also cover listener feedback from last  week's ep...

I share some stories from people responding to last week's hoarder  discussion then go on to talk about how I felt after discussing the  Apple podcast reviews and how I began to question whether I keep things  too real and if I should continue on this path.  I also discuss my week  and turning negatives into positives.  We wrap the show up with an  excellent win...

I read your responses to the question I asked last week: What is the  difference between being a collector and a hoarder?  I talk a bit about  my week, my disappointment with the Apple podcast listeners, and share  wins of the week.

I discuss my very busy week and all the things we did over Easter break  including going to the outlets in Lancaster, visiting our friends, and  car shopping.  I talk about Clark's first day of school, getting  organized and streaming, and also getting my vaccine.  I ponder why  people aren't driven and discuss how unlikely viewers are to interact  with the conte...

I discuss Clark's last day of school, my decision to stop doing monthly  contests, how looking at data can help you make decisions, the  difficulty you face as a creator putting work out the world, and of  course, respond to listener feedback.

I discuss how I am excited for my next chapter and the brickitect  renaissance, but also sad about this 3+ year chapter coming to an end.  I  stress the importance of showing up and being yourself and also discuss  some home improvements I'm making including fencing in our free ranging  chickens.  I also answer some listener feedback.

I discuss YouTube putting ads on my podcast against my will, a copyright  strike I received, my most wanted LEGO sets and whether I will ever  actually be able to get them, experimenting with a live Q&A series,  the concept of low payout sets, my gaming adventures this week, and  respond to listener feedback on what you are doing while listening and  when to be a quitt...

I discuss my quiet week here on the channel and what I've been up to,  upgrading my internet, the weather improving, my week in gaming, LEGO  I've purchased and improvements I am making in my health.

I follow up on the past few weeks episodes with more clarity after lots of pondering and taking your feedback to heart. NOTE: The audio gets pretty bad at the 26 minute mark.  I'm not sure what happened there.  It's a difficult listen and I was going to just cut the episode there, but if you want to listen through it, it's there.  Sorry about that!

I follow up on the burnout discussion from last week and discuss some  changes I've made this week to help manage my time better.  I revisit  the polls that I did this week asking you what you want to see from my  channel and my content strategy moving forward including the future of  this podcast.

I discuss how I might be getting burnt out, why you get clickbaited on  YouTube, the concept of LEGO being the vehicle and not the destination, a  new way I am doing my gaming streams, and how I am enjoying the same  video content as Clark and how much fun that is.

I discuss my new camera equipment, a YouTuber's worst fear, baritect  problems, how I got hurt, Clark's first lost tooth, my quest for the  perfect gaming headset, moving to Twitch, and something fun we are  planning for next weekend.

I discuss all the things that went well and not so well this week along  with what turned into a really fun day and challenge.  We also discuss  listener feedback and I offer some life advice.

I discuss the importance of keeping an open mind regarding your opinions, the things that motivate us, my thoughts on opening  collectibles, my problem with YouTube recommendations, the end of snow days, and what I am trying to eliminate from my vocabulary.  We also say goodbye to baritect before going into listener feedback.

I discuss our Marvel watchathon and how my enjoyment of the films is  leading me to wanting to collect LEGO Marvel sets and especially  minifigures.  I ponder whether it makes more sense to buy expensive  minifigs or entire sets.  I mention something I ran into on Bricklink  this week, a website I am starting to get addicted to.  I wrap the show  up with a c...

I discuss the possibility of an extended intro, my thoughts on Ninjago  City Gardens, my favorite video of the week, Clark's music career, being  a morning person and productivity.  I also reveal my newest LEGO  purchase, give a studio update, and discuss what I've been watching and  what series I plan to watch in the coming weeks.  Also, Clark gets in  trouble f...

I discuss how I have been enjoying the storytelling aspect of making videos and getting my 2021 goal of organization started.  I talk about my week of early morning streams and how important they are to me and possibly to others while at the same time realizing it's not the right place to do my dream streams, but also realizing that I am already doing those streams, just not on YouTube. &nbsp...
