Vlog Like a Model


 When researching for the assignment of finding a vlog in my area of interest, motivational speaking and life coaching, that uses the video platform I chose, YouTube, I discovered a prolific vlogger in the field Valorie Burton. Mrs. Burton’s vlog, https://www.youtube.com/c/valorieburton/featured, puts on full display my reasons for choosing YouTube as a hosting platform. It is extremely easy to navigate, has easy subscriptions enrolment, and allows for easy embedding of singular videos to my home page. For an example see how Mrs. Burton used that feature on https://valorieburton.com/.

Outside of being a prolific vlogger Mrs. Burton also doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable topics that need to be addressed. She seems to have dedicated her life’s work to coaching people to improve their lives and mentoring others who endeavor to do the same. Although her focus is not exclusively focused on teens I am her method and presentation which confronts issues with thought provoking questions and challenges is definitely on brand for my strategy. The use of YouTube allows for her to produce large quantities of content and easily maintain that content and control its distribution. See an example of her encouragement to “Stop Beating Yourself Up” above.

Missed Opportunity

  In the immortal words of Eldrick Woods – HELLO WORLD!   Welcome to Big Man Talking. I am Ed Williams, a 6’5” 275 pound thorn in the side and necessary irritant to some and a welcomed friend and champion to others. A native New Orleanian who loves people, culture and food. I have had the pleasure of living in and traveling to many places around the world like England, Korea, Guam and others which has given me a perspective that many in our nation may not have. I believe that perspective is needed now more than ever. My life’s mission is to bringing hope to those without it and be a bridge to new worlds of thought and interaction. I welcome you to follow me and my blog as we endeavor to make our world a better place. I promise you that from me you will get what the kids around me call THE REAL; no fairytales, no false promises, just real talk and hard conversations that challenge perspectives and hopefully brings about change. I welcome your feedback and interaction.
