As an extremely soft launch announcement, I just planned out some content for a YouTube channel.

I’ve come late to this party, even though I’m a historian by training (many years ago).
The idea that the biggest breakthrough of the last 500 years is that we don’t know everything and that’s a good thing has had a profound affect on me.

I guess there are others that feel like this. I just made a video I’m planning to put on YouTube. It’s a crappy 5-minute thing that needs work.
But I’ve been procrastinating too long and I needed to get started.
I also needed to hear this. Just get started.

Of course, when you start a new social platform you can build another persona, a new brand. But I’m fine with my real story.

I’m just finding my way. I just believe we all have a story to tell even if we think no one cares. I’m working it out as I go along

This is my first post and I obviously don’t know what I’m doing. But I’ll figure it out.
