Run-It-Once-Chef, PLO-Veteran und Heads-Up-Challenger Phil Galfond nimmt sich ein neues Projekt vor und geht unter die Videoproduzenten. Nach langem Überlegen, wie er schreibt, hat er sich dazu durchringen können einen YouTube-Kanal zu eröffnen.
Größte Hürde auf dem Weg dahin war die Vorstellung, dass mit so einem Kanal regelmäßig Videos erscheinen sollte. Das wird jetzt passieren und Galfond hat damit neben Familie, Pokerspielen, Pokerplattform, Trainingsseite, Challenges noch ein weiteres Projekt zu beackern.
Im erstes Video geht es darum, wie Galfond mit Downswings umgeht. 23 Minuten ist es lang und macht einen guten ersten Eindruck. Einmal die Woche will der US-Amerikaner nun ein Video veröffentlichen. Zu erwarten sind laut eigener Angabe alles Mögliche von 10-minütigen Tipp-Videos bis hin zu 2,5h Podcasts mit anderen Profis.
Hier das Video:

1/ I’ve wrestled with the idea of getting into content creation for many years. There are two main reasons I hadn’t yet pulled the trigger:

A) Time
With a family, a couple of businesses & sometimes trying to play some poker, I have been crazy busy for as long as I can remember.
3/ … I think I experience these a little more than your average bear.

Truth is, I care what each and every one of you thinks of me a lot more than I should! I’ve been working on that, but it’s slow going.
So, what finally made me take the plunge?
5/ This also involved letting go (slightly) of perfectionism, which matters doubly here because if I’d have launched a YouTube channel 4 years ago, I’d have personally spent 25 hours on every video.

Next, despite continued success at the poker table…
7/ Then there’s the other side of the coin of caring what people think: I believe I could make some content that people really enjoy and get value out of, and that would make me feel good!

9/ So, I’ve recently spent time working on things I’ve been “meaning to do for a while,” like this channel launch and dropping 20lbs.

Coincidentally (truly, this was a happy accident that I only just realized as I began writing this), my first video covers this very topic.
11/ I’d say I spoke to a target audience of all skill levels – so for those who watch my advanced training videos, perhaps half of what I cover will be things you already know well.

The channel as a whole will continue taking shape as time goes on, mostly based on your feedback.

12/ I’ve planned & recorded content ranging from beginner & 10 minutes long to 2.5hr podcasts w/ fellow pros.

I aim to release 1 vid/week for the time being. I’d love to increase that frequency, but I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, which I have a habit of doing!
