    I cannot believe this year is already coming to a close - where the heck did 2021 go!? In this video I take some time to reflect on the year, on the channel and on life. I also leave you with some final thoughts as I prepare for 2022. First off, next year I am going to commit to creating the videos that I normally second guess and talk myself out of. Why? Making vids is about the fun and enjoyment I have creating them and exploring these ideas fosters even greater creativity - PLUS I think a bunch of you are going to have a lot of fun watching them. It is important to follow through on your creativity as it’s just too easy to go down the road of making content that is EXPECTED of you versus content that you are passionate about. This is a battle each one of us creators constantly face. Finally, the largest takeaway and best advice I will leave you with is DON’T follow influence, follow your PASSION. Passion is what gave you the drive and has helped you achieve all that you have so far, so it only makes sense to keep following it! Buckle up because 2022 is going to be a fun one!

You’ve got this amazing “on screen” personality that makes you stand out, and no matter the route you take going into 2022, I’ll keep coming back for these fireside, tableside, chats.

    There’s a quote that says, “Choose a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life,” but there’s something to be said about when your fun hobby turns into something that you “have” to do.
    As RUclipsrs, we often find ourselves forcing out content just to meet a quota or to try to keep our audience satisfied. And when we’ve made the same type of content for a long time, it’s scary to try something new. I can hear the comments in my head before I even start a video.
    I hope we can all find the courage to try new things in 2022!

      Depends really. Money is the real driver. You start listening to those around because the money is good and you don't want it to stop. Especially in the dog eat dog youtube world. Hence their are creators that only post whenever they feel like it and its usually a 10/10 cause they release when its ready. As opposed to being rushed to hit deadlines.

I’ve been watching almost every video for the past 4-5 years and I’ve loved watching you and your channel grow into so many amazing things and all the journeys it has taken you on. Of course all the photography and cinematography content is unreal but what’s really special and what I truly love is your character and personality. As someone who has struggled a lot with really going after the photography dream with everything I’ve got, it always motivates me so much to see the videos like this one. Thank you Peter for being such an inspiration and a hero to me and I’m sure so many others out there.

    I think, as a content creator, one goal we all attain to reach, is to be able to do basically whatever we want, and know the audience is there for it. Sadly that isn't the case for the majority, I'd say. I know if I just decided, I'm no longer doing what is expected of me and just doing what I want, the dream of doing it full time, would be over. There is a small chunk of the audience that's there for anything, and those people rock. But a larger chunk would move on. You keep doing you Pete, been here for a long dang time, not going anywhere soon. :)

People have been complaining about a broker that can help in trading.I discovered a renowned broker & I recommend Investor Karen Gaye Gray, for more details you can have a quick look of her name online to see for yourself and reach out to her

    I like the feel of these last couple of videos.. genuine, authentic. Maybe these new style of videos will resonate with a fraction less of viewers, but for those who connect with them, will love them even more. Stay true to your excitement and don't deviate from that Path. 💙

    Hey Peter, I just wanted to thank you deeply for those last few sentences at the end. They just deeply resonated with me. I find that, with this job, we really can be isolated, and easily influenced by friends/fellow creators/the outside world to follow an « easy path » which everyone follows to make the largest audience happy. And it makes us okay but not truly fulfilled because this isn’t who we are or why we started this.
    Just know that I feel exactly the same way and I will follow the same path as yours next year :) Doing what we really love, because whatever you do people will complain and be unhappy, might aswell please those who enjoy you for you. Hell, I’m sure at least 10% of your audience would watch a 10min vid of you just eating cereal and drinking coffee if they could.
    Never stop dreaming and being you, and thank you for everything you share Peter. Just know that people all over the world love your work and mindset.
    Love from France 😉

      I don't normally post comments on my favorite content creators like you and Peter but I needed to say this, I made a video on my channel called " The other side" where I talked about the reality of the people behind the camera, I am so happy that you guys are talking about this so that the new content creators can focus on being happy by creating any content that they really want.

    I think there is something to be said for enjoying your craft. I always go back to the restaurant analogy: do you want to eat food from a chef that has no passion for what he is making?
    Sure, some cook for a living but some cook because they want to share with the world. It's the same with video and finding that balance is key.

Whatever quirky ideas you've got, go make 'em. Happy new year, Pete!

    You know what, you’ve been like a friend this year to me. Had lots of things to overcome, moved to Berlin. Still feely lonely in the evenings sometimes. Take photos, have fun while taking them also editing them. But do you know what I do at the end? I watch you. I take a look at the shots you’ve posted on ig and think about how I could take a different one, one day. I watch your videos and feel the companionship. I’ve been in your channel for 2 or 3 years but especially in this year, I see how honest you are. I see the difficulties and fun things, I try to imagine how it is like. Man, so much to say here. Maybe you won’t even see this comment but I want you know that I’m here for you. Not for photography or a tutorial. I’m here because without you knowing, you’re helping me everyday. Thank you Pete. Thank you.

    It might affect the algorithm, it might slightly slowdown the growth, but I think 5-10million Uber dedicated fans is way better that 20million of those who only value for one type of video you do.
