They discuss the pressure to constantly produce new videos regardless of quality, Joe's discomfort with being paid well without 'nice things' like a Mazda 3, and a bit comparing his income favorably against Tim's stand-up grind.
- 1:15:07Tim worries people could forget about him if he took a month off, so he doesn't think he has that luxury.
- 1:15:56He wants his content to be inspirational by example—showing that you don't need bells and whistles, just consistent work with a camera over years.
- 1:17:17Tim felt guilty making so much money with so little effort, which is why he added two podcasts to his workload.
- 1:18:08The guest explains he didn't feel he was doing enough work for the money, despite not having to work as hard as he used to.
- 1:18:24He used to work a nine-to-five job, go to the gym, do podcasts in the city, then come home and make a video same day.
- 1:18:43Now he shoots and edits his videos in one day, with the creative process happening in his head during the rest of the week.
- 1:18:59Tim asks if the guest ever looks at relatives busting their ass while he makes eight times their income just by broadcasting.
