One Monkey NEVER Stops The Show

During the Saturday Night Double Header over the weekend, one of the major talking points that I really drove home was the fact that while Foster thought that she had stopped me by having me removed from YouTube, in truth she just unleashed me onto the rest of the world, LOL. Seriously: In hindsight I came to see and understand how I had actually sequestered myself away from the rest of the social media world by making YouTube my sole mainstay - so when Foster took that away from me, I had to go back and do a serious rethink AND retooling. And rethinking and retooling I did - starting first by pivoting to Rumble, expanding to other social media platforms, and finally really understanding how and why social media works. The result was a newly rebuilt social media strategy - one that has seen my going viral multiple times in less than six months this year alone, posting up on multiple platforms that are committed to freedom of speech and the free flow of ideas and debate, and most importantly - and to my pleasant surprise - a deluge of requests from other YouTubers to come by for interviews, sitting in on panels, and even being a recurring guest and co-host(!) - something that rarely if ever happened during my original nine year YouTube run. All of which is to say, and just goes to show: The O-Man knows how to make a killer pitcher of lemonade when pelted with a bunch of lemons - BOOM!
