Hi ! I'm Otawerks (An alias obviously, genX habits die hard) I'm French, please don't hold that against me. ^^ Former Parisian moved to rural Burgundy after the first coof lockdown. I have had many failures in my professional life, and learned many lessons, yet kinda failed to apply them going forward. I know this is an intro and not a resume, but some broad strokes to let you know where I come from. Worked for an architect in my late teens, doing all white scale models,. 100hrs a week -> complete burn-out. 3d Artist ,in the gamming Industry, for a few years, but didn't like the corporate environment, which lead me to...- Founding a garage company with friends doing 3D cinematics for game companies. Went down with the internet bubble burst in the early 2000's -> predictably lost a few friends in the process. Pivoted to 3D free-lancing in the B2B communication sector -> Burned-out. Sold action figures on eBay before it was cool and Comics-shops caught on -> Couldn't scale my 1 bedroom apartment into a warehouse. More recently in the coof era, tried the 3d printing gig selling on Etsy -> Moderately successful, was fun at first but turned into a nightmare, couldn't scale. Never again will I do the home factory thing and sell physical products, fulfillments are such a bish. Which leads us to my current endeavor.. This time around I want to learn from my previous mistakes and start a YT chan as a content creator, in the crafting niche, associated with digital products and setup the whole project as a business. So I'm going through business courses, marketing funnels, attention retention strategies, et tutti-quanti. If it gains traction I hope to be able to do the whole personal brand coaching/consulting schtick and delegate some of the more grindy aspects of CC. Right now I'm working on my skill stack and learning how to use DaVinci is defo one I will need for sure. I have yet to reach the starting blocks... 😩 Voila!
