I love Brendan Kane and have been following him for a while. Your last collab was amazing so I had to click on this immediately. He is so on point with everything. I KNOW this is going to be packed with value. 😎👊🏼
please let brandon stay underrrated, just before i grow out ny socials
I want to see Chris out on the streets. Go for it!
I will.
Thanks to your previous collaboration video here I hired the Hookpoint team of Brendan Kane… I’m in the middle of the process and have experienced all what you are sharing here.
I’m just starting to seeing new results but it’s so exciting to know that those initial minor shifts are thanks to something you actually know! Thank you!
Good luck!
Hey do you mind me asking: how much did it cost (and/or pricing tiers)? Thinking of it both for myself and for clients but couldn’t find any indication of it without a discovery call.
The first video got more views. Yeah.. 1:15:29
I came to this video because of the content and my trust of both of you but stayed for the banter, humor and tension. 👏👏❤️
Definitely! Go for that format if you like it. As a genius, you turn anything you touch into gold anyway!
I love Chri’s smirk smile 😀
Chris on the streets? Love the concept. Definitely viral material!
42:35 Great interview, Chris—super valuable insights! However, I strongly disagree on shadow banning. We’ve all seen it during the election—JRE, Flagrant, Tucker, Alex Jones, and other podcasts were absolutely shadow banned and many of these influencers talk openly about it, especially Tucker lol. With saying that I do understand it’s a very different context but Brendon immediately followed that up with YouTube ads: Brendon says YouTube isn’t favoring big spenders like Apple or Microsoft. But they absolutely push YouTube ads to struggling YouTubers! Let’s do the math: With 5+ billion users (per Brendan’s stats), if even 20% of YouTubers paid $1 for ads, that’s billions of dollars for YouTube!They’re absolutely nudging creators toward paid ads. Wish Brendan hadn’t downplayed this or better yet just leave that part out bc it’s a little hard to continue “trusting” what he says from there. However I’m nit picking lol. And this is super valuable info and I greatly appreciate you both for doing this interview🥰
I’ll certainly save this video to watch again. I took pages of notes on this one. You asked Brendan really great questions. There’s so much value here. My favorite video, because I personally found it to be so meaningful, is “video 5” @1:22:28
As for the man on the street format- you should go for it, Chris!
Thank you, gentleman!
Agree, 100%
Brendan is a Social Media Genius!
This was a great Video! Thank you Brendan for sending it to me!
I like how vulnerable you were as he was reviewing your videos. The way Brendan explained it made sense.
You are making social media, so much more relatable for creative introverts Chris ✨
32:20 I needed to hear this because just thinking about batch producing was holding me back from creating content.
i used to get way too emotionally invested in stuff like this. like, id watch the video, get angry, then sit there stressed about my own life too bills, job stuff, relationship stuff. everything felt like it was closing in. then this random book got mentioned in a comment section somewhere 22 dark truths of winning. i read it mostly out of curiosity, not expecting much. but weirdly, it helped. not in a feel good way, more like it slapped me awake. i think i just needed someone to say the stuff nobody says out loud. definitely not for everyone, but it made me stop freaking out over things i cant control.
in my opinion this comment should be pinned to the top
Crazy that bots are now trying to sell books via commenting on online videos
@@kingoffongpei 😂 that part
Shoutout to all the creative introverts.
Brendan is a genius and it make sense that we have to share our story because that makes people connect with us.
I’m working on mine as I master the art of sharing from my heart and soul. 🦋
Keep going.
1:05:50 His framing also amazing, This content keep focusing the right frame for things he mentioned, and it works in our subconscious ,
right frame is about new and usually for “something” that people wanted to know,
it starts with him drives a car facing to the left frame to tell about things that already exist since long ago.
also in the last scene when he said it took me 10 years, he walk to the left frame first before facing forward camera.
Many of them create left-right positioning perfectly without even realizing it,
because in many cases, an account has only a handful of viral videos,
while the rest, those that didn’t go viral don’t share the same composition as the ones that did.
framing positioning is like telling a story without telling it
I love the discussion about formats. Anthony Bourdain wrote something like there are chefs and cooks in the kitchen, and he prefers to hire cooks or something like that. Everyone wants to be a chef and be creative and lead, but they need the skills of a cook first who has the discipline to follow the process and understand why there’s a process.
Love this breakdown. The crazy part is, most people quit way before they ever get close to their “breakthrough” video. And it’s not always because of the algorithm, it’s usually because they burn out juggling business and content at the same time. Once you create space to actually focus on storytelling, everything compounds.
