I am just beginning to create content in the travel(cruise) niche. I'm learning as I go, so I thought this would be a good challenge for me. It was and it was both rewarding and educational. I am having fun and I'm learning a great deal about social media, more than I ever though I would at my age. If you are just beginning and are a small content creator like me this video is for you. Consistent and Engagement are the key words I learn in this challenge. My next challenge is to create a higher standard of content using the lessons learned in this experience.

Have you ever suffered from Imposter syndrome? I did, I was the problem, I was the reason my content didn't grow. It took my wife calling me out about me bringing my "representative to the my content instead of being the real David". That stung because it was true. Now, I’m in the process of learning how to create content that feels real, looks like me, and actually matters. I’m focused now on what I love—cruising, travel, and telling stories. I'm building content not for fame, not for numbers, but to connect. To help bring a little joy to someone's day. To show up as myself, not some representative of me trying to impress an imaginary critic. Let’s be awkward together. Let’s learn together. Let’s talk cruising, travel, life, and whatever else pops up—but let’s do it as our real authentic selves. #cruiselife #relatable
