Hi gang, Latest creator to join the group! My name is Steve, however I go by the the name Hood Gaming online and I'm based in the UK. My content focuses around a pretty specific gaming niche which is the Football Manager game series. A link to my YouTube is right here: https://www.youtube.com/@HoodGamingUK So... a fear... From a content perspective it would be that the time that I've put into content is a waste if I don't take things to the next level (hence joining Grindstone). Away from content, has to be heights! Hope you all have a great weekend and I look forward to interacting with you all moving forward!

Video for People We Are https://youtu.be/8KmIvxw-hW0?si=phUgottnD22rT44U I have 3 new options for thumbnails, Im interested in seeing how they work out. Thanks to Parker for mentioning it, I did not know it was an option. Video - Kept the editing simple again. - Story simple - A bit more energy but these were an old batch of vids so ill be working through them so not as much smiling as I would like. - I use a button for subscribe now, a couple messages and of course the lyrics so people can follow along. Im open to any other thoughts about improvement - audio - visual - thumbnails

Hello my name's Nick My biggest takeaway is Content creation is limitless and anything can happen because of it! Understanding yourself with what strengths you bring to the table that make you unique will make you unstoppable. Accountability is key but criticism will move mountains, patience and desire will be the fire that starts the boom for this journey with content creation. Wins or losses are stepping stones for success and the more accountable I am, things will change 100x. Some back story from myself so you can understand me a bit better. - My names Nick and my Business with Social Media and Content creation is SweatyMop - I chose the name SweatyMop because I'm a "Sweaty" aka good player and "Mop" because I clean lobbies in CallofDuty. And it's a silly looking name too lol - Been a player for Years and this game has become a part of me, over the past few years I have had so many big creators follow me from this scene and it's just a surreal feeling knowing these people just follow me. Here are some Twitter/X names - @ChainFeeds - 600k YT Subs - @BigCartiier - 77k YT Subs - @KingBRADERZ - 500k YT Subs - @TheOceaneOpz - 283K YT Subs - @KARNAGEclan - 793k YT Subs - There's more here are just some amazing people if these people follow me I just have to make things happen you know especially with content creation Its one of the coolest jobs and its limitless - I have a dream of being sponsored by CallofDuty themselves, going to events and just making amazing content and becoming a role model in this scene. - I also have a dream of becoming a member of an ORG in the COD scene which is KARNAGEclan - I have spent so many hours of research for thumbnails, video editing and just SEO/hashtag work. And just like anyone I get really motivated start doing good then boom I get unmotivated and I just get lost. - So joining Grindstone with the support will keep me 1000% on track with what I truly want and that's become a full time creator! I have struggled with accountability so badly and it's time to make the impossible happen!!!

My name is Griffin Beels! I work a 9-5 at TikTok as a Machine Learning Engineer for the TikTok Algorithm, but in my free time, I make videos & stream! I mostly make content around speedrunning (namely SM64), whether that's skits, fun VFX edits, highlights from runs, or stories about cool stuff I learned or accomplished. Here's one of the videos I had the most fun making recently: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/v77a8NWLjyM To answer the original intro questions: 1) I'm located in Los Angeles (just moved to LA two months ago! I lived in San Francisco for 2 years prior). 2) Content: https://linktr.ee/griffinbeels, mostly focused on https://www.youtube.com/@griffinbeels / https://twitch.tv/griffinbeels right now! 3) My #1 fear is being wrong D: Even if I'm ordering something on Uber Eats, I think *super* hard about the "right" answer for what to eat; similarly, if I walk down a street full of restaurants, I'll walk it a few times before deciding LOL. This has been one of the biggest things I've been working on this year -- using failure to learn and teach rather than letting it paralyze :D Nice to meet you all and happy to be here!
