One year, One challenge: win money if I fail
52 videos incoming.
Dear people on the internet,
It’s been a while, at least in this newsletter! I want to start by saying thank you. Whether you've been here from the beginning or just joined, thank you for reading, watching, and engaging with my content.
You are the reason I keep doing this!
This is a brief, unusual post to quickly reflect on my past content and announce my biggest challenge. I'll also explain how you could help on this journey or win some free money...
I know that sounded like a scam, but believe me, it's not 😅
I've been creating tech content for the past four years. I started blogging but I found quickly that making videos was even more fun for me and now it's also part of my work. However, turning a hobby into a job has its downsides, and I haven't been able to put out as much on my personal channel as I wanted to.
I'm going through some big changes in my life right now, some good and others... challenging. I realized once again that life is short. I have so much to tell, and I want to express my creativity without boundaries.
So here's the deal: starting today, I'll release one video a week for the next year on my YouTube channel, which is more than I have made.
I'll keep the rules pretty simple. In a given month, videos need to be :
1) In a mixed format (long/short).
2) Both educational (in tech) and entertaining.
These rules will force me to avoid sticking to one style just for the sake of views and ensure that I'm stepping out of my comfort zone while still bringing value to you.
What about the money? I need you to help keep me accountable! If I miss a week, I’ll give $100 to one of my newsletter subscribers. And I’ll add another $100 to the pot for every additional week missed.
So, in short, you get free content from me and a lottery ticket.
This will be hard but I'm excited to explore things on a new level.
The first video, which is at index 0 since I'm counting as a data engineer, is out now. The challenge will end on August 25, 2025.
See you next week! (and don't forget to subscribe to get your ticket 😉)
