[00:00:00]I've been working with Ali Abda on his YouTube strategy for two years before doing it myself. To this day, nobody knows that these are my hands that are drawing out this video. In 5 days, I had to edit a video called how to get started with investing. I went to Ali, I got the footage. I remember seeing the footage and he's great in front of camera, he's very charismatic. But there was something missing. When you're teaching topics like investing, it's quite complex. You've got to explain the concept of compound interest, maybe what the S&P 500 is. I didn't have the chops to build this in with motion graphics in 5 days. And then one day, an idea came to me. What I'm going to do is set up this overhead camera, and then I am going to draw out all of the motion graphics, and then time it up to the timeline. The video went on to get 3.4 million views
