053 // Talking VS. Doing with Xhon Dang

Yeah, no.

And it's like, it's, it's, it's very true to what's happening now.

Cause it's even part of like what the discussion we had, it's like, if you're struggling to make things right now, it's probably because you're trying, you're, you're not being authentic to how you're feeling.

Yes.

And you know what I mean? That's like, there's people that are just trying, like, I could just do like, I keep coming back to this cause I have to get this review, but I could just do this microphone review and treat it like any other microphone review.

But I would be being disingenuous to the audience of like what I really want to be doing right now.

Right.

And I actually did give that some more thought.

It's like this, like you feel like you're being disingenuous to the audience.

That's not really what you want to do right now.

But at the same time, I've seen other YouTubers and, you know, like big, you know, tech review pages or whatever.

Even they've experienced some shortage of views during this period.

Naturally, that's going to happen.

So it's like.

do you make the call to, as a business decision and also a personal decision, business for Rode, but also personal for you, to hold off on it because now might not be the best time for you or for Rode to put that out to max it? Because they sent you that to be able to get some exposure on the mic and give your take on it, your honest take.

So it's like, if you do that now, will that produce and garner the best results now? Or will that be later when you're actually feeling it and when the time is more convenient, you know? For sure.

Absolutely.

That's a great point because I was even talking to Spencer Sakurai and I still keep texting him or not.

And we were chatting about today because he's been thinking about the same thing because he just put up a video and in relation to like what he relatively gets on on views, it's much, much lower, typically speaking.

And that's obviously because we're all kind of seeing this drop right now.

But it was also like one of the first times he's done some stuff with Squarespace.

So then the question is, like, do you hold off on it? Like, do we like what's what's the best game plan? Clearly, things are changing.

But I completely agree.

In the back of my mind, it's funny that you even say that.

I've been thinking, I got to reach out to Aperture.
