This week, we’re celebrating the New Year by looking forward to the FUTURE and all the exciting things to come. We come out of the gates strong this episode and get right to the point: New Year’s resolutions are dumb. People try to change too dramatically at once, and it just doesn’t work out. But lucky for you, we’ve come up with a much better system for annual improvement: the New Year’s GRINDolution. The Grindolution is all about working in small increments and getting in the GROOVE. Kevin talks about his commitment to drawing one cartoon a week to post on social media, and we discuss how much easier it can be to do something on a weekly basis instead of waiting around to get it done. Kevin’s also got big plans for Vsauce2 this year. He spent most of 2022 building up different audiences on different platforms, and he’s looking forward to bringing even more content to the table in ‘23. We also tease a bit of what’s to come in the TCUniverse this year, and why it’s all about BALL NUDGING. Matt also has some very exciting projects on the horizon as he continues to break into the world of streaming. He gives us the breakdown on his setup, the projects he’s got going, and just how easy and enjoyable it is for him to do. From cigar box ukuleles to rusted old gun barrels, Matt is making it ALL on Twitch. You’re gonna wanna check it out: https://www.twitch.tv/thecreateunknown  The streams have been going well, but that’s only because Matt did it the exact right way: he did it badly, then he did it better. Not only is it a great way to save time and avoid HUGE regret, but it’s really the best way to find out if you actually enjoy doing a thing. We round things out by talking about all things TCU, and there really is a lot to look forward to. Not only are we keeping up our weekly highlights for all our YouTube viewers, but we’re also looking at really expanding our operation this year, so STAY TUNED. Thank you all for your support over the past year, and thanks to our patrons who make this show happen every single week. You guys are all the best. We’ll be back next week, so see you then!
