• Destination: Creation Episode 014 - Season 1 Finale - Reflection
    Oct 26 2020

    Hello great people of the interwebs!!

    In this episode, I've done something a little different. I've decided that I'm going to wrap the podcast up to this point into a nice neat little season 1 bow. Until now, it's been a monologue
    and although I've enjoyed how the season and my style has progressed, I'm ready to move onto the next stage of this journey and that's interviews!

    In the next season, I will be interviewing streamers and general content creators of all sizes! I have some smaller creators lined up that I would like to check in on and see how they are doing on their journey. I also have some bigger creators lined up who I'd like to do deep dives on to see what makes them tick, what struggles they've been through and what they do that makes them so successful.

    I'm looking forward to this next leg in my journey and I hope you are too!

    Enjoy!!!

  • Destination: Creation Episode 013 - You Should Be Using This - You’ll Lose People As You Grow
    Oct 12 2020

    Salutations great creators of the interwebs! 

    In this episode of Destination:Creation, I'm slowly introducing my community to new and exciting ways to engage, take ownership and support my stream! Some of my streamer friends have been using Streamloots for a while now and I finally got on board! Everyone's having a blast redeeming Streamloots cards during my stream and having a new level of interaction and influence over the show!

    Also… As you grow on Twitch, you will lose people. Not only on your stream but in your career and other endeavors in life. It's natural for people to out grow each other but sometimes, the people you outgrow will not go gracefully. I talk about a conversation I had with a childhood friend that gave me surprising new insight regarding the other side of this conversation.

    Enjoy!!!

  • Destination: Creation Episode 012 - Quick Update! - Believe In Yourself!!
    Sep 28 2020

    Hello again creators!!!

    In this episode of Destination: Creation, it's been a couple weeks since Stream Coach Academy! With all the information I was giving in this super intense course at my fingertips, its time to put a plan together! I've been taking it a little easy to recover but now, it's time to get back to WORK!

    Also, growing up, Generation-X was taught by the propaganda of the previous generation that in order to succeed, you need to work for someone else. I'm sure other generations after us felt the remnants of this upbringing as well. This doesn't have to be the case! If you have dreams and ambitions that are being held back by old habits and mindsets, listen to my story and be inspired to believe in yourself!

    I may not be where I want to be, but I grow every day and so can you!

  • Destination: Creation Episode 011 - SCA Final Update! - Battling Burnout In Content Creation
    Sep 14 2020

    Hey peeps!!!

    In this week's episode of the podcast... My final Stream Coach Academy update. After six weeks of taking this master class designed to help me understand how to grow and maintain an audience, improve my brand, up my production value and network like a pro, this last week was focused on the business of content creation. I didn't think that I was at the point in my career where I should start looking at who I wanted to work with as far as sponsors were concerned but, I was dead wrong.

    Also... burnout is a real thing. I know you think that's obvious but many Twitch streamers and content creators in general work themselves to the point of exhaustion never realizing how much damage that is actually causing them. Not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. If you don't recognize the signs of burnout, you are risking a creative lull that will be both hard to recover from and devastating to your career. Please take care of yourselves!

    Enjoy!!!

  • Destination: Creation Episode 010 - Stream Coach BootCamp Update! - Get You Some Mods You Trust!!
    Aug 31 2020

    Hey Peeps!!!

    In this episode! I give you a little more insight into the types of things I've been learning including a little tip on how to get more people to follow you when you get raided! It's not a new concept but I never thought to apply it in this situation!

    Also... Mods are the unsung heroes of the streaming world! Twitch and YouTube are full of trolls and I'm not talking about the under the bridge in a fairy tail trolls. Some people are the scum of the earth and they'll attack you on every level. You may not think you need them until you're big time but the truth is, you need one earlier than you might think!

  • Destination: Creation Episode 009 - Stream Coach BootCamp Update! - Discipline In Setting A Schedule
    Aug 17 2020

    Hey Peeps it's me... Mingo!

    This is my second week in the Stream Coach Academy and I have to say, I feel like I'm getting really great advice! Learning from people who have experience and are partnered on Twitch is providing me with some really great insight into what I need to be doing better. I talk a little about this in my update.

    Then I go on to giving you my views on the importance of creating and maintaining a regular schedule if you want to have a shot at becoming a full time streamer on Twitch. I know its tough to hear but the hard truth is that its going to be nearly impossible for you to do if you don't have a schedule. No one likes to hear it but someone has to say it.

    Enjoy!!!

  • Destination: Creation Episode 008 - I Did A Thing! - Streaming Is Hard
    Aug 3 2020

    Greetings Earthlings!!!

    I DID A THING! Yes! I've invested in myself. Streaming is a journey with different paths and multiple ways to succeed... and fail. But even if it does fail, there's a lesson to pay attention to!

    Also... Streaming on Twitch is HARD! People think its just as simple as hitting the "Live" button but unless you're just casual gaming with no ambitions to grow, that couldn't be further from the truth! This is one of those difficult subjects almost no one is talking about!

    Do you have a story you'd like to share about the difficulties of streaming? Shoot me an email to tell me about it!!

    Enjoy!!!

  • Destination: Creation Episode 007 - Free Resource For Streamers - Friends In Streaming
    Jul 20 2020

    Hello good people of the interwebs!!

    In this episode, I decided to do things a little different. Twitch has some great metrics but in order to take you're content to the next level, you need more than what they have to offer. I share with you a resource I found that does just that!

    Also, I've met a lot of people in the streaming world. Some are truly amazing friends and others, not so much. In any case, you can learn a thing or two from them. I share with you my observations of several types of people that I've identified. Here's a hint, there is one type that you need to be weary of.

    Enjoy!
