An idea for what I might try to make next: How do people transform?

March 31, 2026

I’m on sort of a break from making YouTube videos or any videos at all really. I kind of accepted I don’t have the time in this season. It’s been about a month since I posted anything to YouTube or TikTok.

Conclusion: man I miss making stuff.

But I’ve been thinking about what to make next. What would actually work? I think it’s some intersection of:

  • Fitness: because I’ve been focusing on hitting my workouts, eating better, and overall just getting healthier this year.
  • Code: because I do still like making things online. I’ve always loved prototyping different tools and vibe coding makes this just about the best time I can remember for actually doing that.
  • Videos: because I’m still interested in creativity and creators as a general topic. I haven’t exactly cracked how to make good videos. I’ve certainly consumed enough information about it.

(Far) more importantly, I just need to get back to making videos.

One idea in that intersection of fitness & videos is to break down different transformations people have gone through. I’m a sucker for basically any fitness transformation video.

The idea I had was to just break down lessons from different people’s transformations. The Psychology of Transformation.

The key thing I’d want to show: there are many ways to win.

Then, of course, have my own insane transformation where I get down to 8% body fat and grow 6 inches taller.
