Love the end about playing a bigger game and slicing off the top of the hill. Perfect touching thing under the thing. Awesome video Jeff! You’re making a legit impact on the storytelling on this platform and helping people think more deeply! Keep it up!
First I discovered Peter McKinnon, then through him I found Cody Wanner and then I found you. I love this community. It's truly a gift that keeps on giving.
Great stuff, Jeff! Thanks for diving more deeply into (under?!) the thing under the thing. I really liked how you used the b-roll and the cinematic bits in this one, too - keep it up!
MIND BLOWN! Couldn't think of a better description Jeff. I've been struggling with the concept of "The thing under the thing." Not in idea, but in execution and this helps soo much more with that and helped to bring it into context better for me. I believe I know now what I need to do to connect my audience to my videos more and give them a reason to be invested in it with me. Thank you.
Thank you kind Sir! Linked to you through "video creators" as I sift through terabytes of footage from a (currently) failed attempt to make a documentary about Muay Thai while living as a tourist in Thailand for a year... the first few questions in your PDF expanded my already very expansive mind so a rarity, cheers! I already had several ideas for the footage AND NOW some beautiful questions to formulate a plot/plan/course of action through the ideas and footage!
Great video Jeff! Lately when it comes to video, it almost feels like this pent up energy that i have no idea how to channel or express but this really helped put thing into perspective. Also so awesome to see another fellow Angelino on UA-cam! 🙌🏻
Fantastic! Thanks, Jack - glad you're here, man. Btw, make sure you join the Insider email list - it'll keep you up to date and get you some cool extra stuff beyond just what's on UA-cam. You can do that right here: app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/454141?v=7
Human beings have been doing this for thousands of years, from the layers of meaning in Biblical Jewish meditation literature to Charles Dickens to Wes Anderson. As creators, when we start thinking about "the thing under the thing," we join a long history of doing the same. Our viewers don't always consciously read these meanings out of our content, but that layering always impacts the feeling they'll get from it. Fantastic video, I'm ready to challenge myself and think about the thing under the thing. Keep killing it my man.
Awesome! That's a great point - TTUTT doesn't always have to be obvious. But when it's there, it still affects the feel, and that translates to the audience.
Wow! Great video! Was feeling a ton of anxiety and getting really fixated on some roadblocks to some of my goals, this video almost instantly changed that and took a weight off my shoulders...AWESOME Video! Thank you! - Andy
Story greenlight has to blow up one of these days. One of my favourite channels out there. I have anthother very niche channel, about snake conservation here in Cape Town, and this video has just sparked so many ideas. I think I know what the thing under the thing is, now just have to find ways to present it properly in my content. Thanks Jeff!
I've been enjoying your videos for a while now, Jeff, but this one was really next level for me. Thank you for putting yourself out there and doing what you do, it inspires me and I'm sure many more to keep going. Here's to bigger games :)
Emotional SuperGlue!! @5:39+, sweet music edit! I'm not sure you can say this enough...the thing...the one under the thing...so powerful. Thanks for continuing to push this in different ways.
This thing under the thing thing is spot on. We try to do this in each of our weekly videos. We stopped making it about what we are doing and started to think about what it really means to us and others. Thanks for sharing. Was glued to the screen the whole time. Definitely subscribing!
The thing under the thing is also a concept that can help anyone that's on a path of self realization to figure out exactly what parts of themselves and their history that they need to heal in order to move forward and beyond their cycles that they keep living. Most of the time, as adults, when we get upset about something, it's not actually about the thing, but the thing under the thing!! I'm so stoked that yale ill have shown me how this applies to story telling too!! I want to help people heal and know themselves more deeply, and I'm building my skills as a filmmaker, mainly as a tool for that!! So realizing that some of the same concepts can be applies to healing AND filmmaking... whoa... game changer!! Thanks Jeff!! Uda man!!
Very cool! Yeah, I've heard multiple people say - and I agree - that frustration/anger is a secondary emotion. Almost always triggered by something else under it. Cool how all this stuff overlaps.
very cool!! man it really trips me out how NSC and UA-cam connects folks like yourself and I! I am just getting back into all of this, feeling like quite the rookie, and you are a professional editor in hollywood! Not too many years ago, that wasn't even really a possibility! All I know is I admire you and your perspectives and your willingness to teach the rest of us what you have learned/are learning! It's very much appreciated bub!! Just want you to know that!!
So good. I love how it gets us focused on speaking deeper. Not just thinking about what they see but how that makes them feel and drives them forward. Great stuff!
Wow. Love this. It's one of those rare game-changer videos that makes us all learn to step up our craft and reimagine our storytelling so it's way more compelling. Thanks so much for this!
Great message Jeff! Similar to another comment I heard from Cody recently; Show your viewer why your doing something, not just what you are doing. i.e. the thing under the thing.
Well, we all gotta figure out how to differentiate ourselves from the crush of online humanity, I figure. Also hopefully it helps people know that they can trust what I'm saying too.
I love how you teased a coming idea in the beginning, then the 3 things you were going to do, driving that watch time. That color grade...nice. And the building music up the hill, your editing rocks! Still trying to "get" the thing under the thing in more mundane video situations.
Thanks, Randy! Keep hammering away at it. Frankly, walking up a hill at sunset could be seen as pretty mundane... I actually had moments of "I hope this is gonna actually work" while I was editing. So hang in there. Those connections are there to be made.
Gina Waters and I just commented to each other on her last vlog, "The thing under the thing!" I forgot that Cody's collab with you was where I first heard it. You rock dude! So stoked the universe has brought us all together. Let's get this.
You know those videos that you watch at the perfect time in your creative journey?? This was that for me. Loved it and got me thinking a lot about my thing under the thing. Super pumped to have found you in the #nosmallcreator group. Especially as a fellow Angeleno. 👊🏼
JUST ran across your channel for the first time, Jeff! Wow! Great perspective on diving deep into the thing under the thing. We're just getting started with a videography journey. Love how you composed this vid with the story! Diving in for more! - Brian (Erin too)
Man this was great! I saw so much of the way I think about things in this video but did not understand what I was doing . I feel like an ADD squirrel at times with ideas and now knowing how to work it all together. Thank you for helping me understand myself and this process better!
Thank your video, this helps a lot for me, I will binge watch everything on your channel and develope from you! I am a hardcore subscriber and thanks for your story, they matter!
This is so well stated, clear and impactful. I am an artist who understands this in terms of my artistic practice but as have neglected my family and I have begun our youtube channel. The thing under the thing is what caused us to start working together, but it was so easy to lose sight of when in the midst of making. Thanks for this video! I'm excited to start applying this thinking and embedding it into all we do!
"When you play a bigger game that's how change happens" Jeff thanks for making content like this, always engaging, useful and of course the story. Thanks
This is a wonderful video. I like it because you are doing a great job of explaining how to feel the thing under the thing by giving us a step-by-step process -- because sometimes a creator isn't ready for that step until they get deep into it -- and if they don't know where to walk they can't ever get surrounded by it!
You just blew my mind.... now i actually understand what Peter was meaning... Espacially when u showed the path for the first time nad where talking about to give it a deeper meaning.... "Life is never a straight path" u probbably just influanced my hole new vlogging challange.... Thank you man! cheers Daniel from MELbourne
Haha no way... THat is cool man. But im original from Germany and lived 2 years in Vancouver, Canada. :D As you proppably see on my chanel name, i continued the working holiday experiance in NZ & AU. BTW. my creator app did not even told me, that you awnsered... i was watching more stuff from you in the meantime. I really like you stuff! cheers Daniel from MelBouRne
Bro... you kept me locked in the whole video... so well done on so many levels. The thing under the thing... powerful thought. I’ve heard something similar when it comes to resolving issues when relationships are in conflict: “What do you do when the ‘issue’ isn’t THE issue?”
Yeah man, you're spot on with that - in relational conflict, one of the things to consider is that anger is almost always a secondary emotion. It's The Thing - and it's triggered by something underneath, The Thing Under the Thing. For us men, anger is often triggered by disrespect/feeling disrespected, for instance. All sorts of ways this can be applied. 😊👍
I dig your subject matter - as a fellow Christ-follower, I'm convinced the world needs more voices speaking in ways that the non-Christian culture understands.

I’m from Los Angeles Miss it And thankful to find your channel and this video!!!! The thing under the thing... love it. I need to share The deeper layer ...need to go there. Again The thing under the thing. Yes. Ok, gotcha LOVE IT!
Your content is amazing! You deserve 3,000,000 subscribers, not 3,000. Your videos are incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
My goodness, your video is SO timely. I've been thinking about revamping my YT channel and been thinking hard HOW to connect with my future audience. "The Thing Under The Thing"... the metaphor is nail-on! - Thankful from Mexico
Hey man, it's me again. I just have to say a big thanks. I bought your course and wow. You know what you are talking about. Many talks about storytelling but I have never got my questions answered the same way as you did. If I was a hardcore subscriber before, I am a premium hardcore subscriber now. :D Thanks!
Thanks, Andy! Yeah, no exaggeration - if we can make people actually FEEL things as a result of interacting with us, we'll leave a far more powerful impression on them.
another great topic to talk about would be, how make a "just talking to the camera" video much more interesting, I mean like in a room, not filming outside or walking.
Thank you for doing this Jeff. So, so helpful right now. This is a BIG help to many. Please do more. Quick question, I've downloaded the 27 questions to craft the perfect video (which is another big help); where does "The Thing Under the Thing" coincides with the 27 questions? Would it be part of question #1: What is my Desired Outcome? Oh, I'm in Dallas now, but I grew up in the same area. Made me a little homesick. :)
Hey Jon - TTUTT isn't addressed directly in the list, but yeah, Desired Outcome would touch on it. That's more part of the actual content itself, which the questions mostly avoid to keep things more applicable overall.
Jeff this was phenomenal and as a UA-cam educator myself I feel this is something I must share with my subscribers! By the way what’s the amazing song you used starting from 4:50 it was so inspirational
Awesome, Tom! Much appreciated. The cue at 4:50 is by Johannes Bornlöf called "I Will Not Be Shaken 2" from Epidemic Sound. Hit the "find similar" button on that cue and you'll find all sorts of cool stuff like it!
Great explanation Jeff.. keep teaching and making your knowledge available. Find people to test your training program or something, people need to know you. 👊
Ummm... you are flipping brilliant and articulated how I feel when am doing videos... why I spend hours trying to figure this thing out... thank you...
This reminds me of the term 'sentimental analysis'. Personally, I find that there are two minds. One is emotional, savage, risky, unchill. The other is chill, connected to the feelings, careful. The purpose that some teachers try to dictate is to find an equilibrium between the two.
It's funny, at 1:15 with Peter talking to camera I was thinking, "That looks like Adelaide Street in Belfast". And then it turned out it was Adelaide Street in Belfast.
Dude awesome video thank you Jeff. Really powerful. I've struggled with this for sure on my channel. Understanding how to go deeper because I'm definitely too surfacey. Thank you so much.
Make sure you check out the latest podcast episodes on this channel that talk about the thing under the thing - this video here is missing a lot of explanation in terms of how to actually put it to use. But yes, it’s incredibly powerful stuff.
It's so true, I've been running around telling my husband. I have to start shooting and editing, show I can show like the thing under the thing!! 😂 He's like huh? Then I explained to him the racing video with your son, and he's like yea that makes so much sense. The thing under the thing is definitely your thing Jeff! I love seeing your videos it's like a little notification for me to make sure I'm thinking about my channel from a more purposeful standpoint. Also, you put into a way that I can actually understand and feel like can take back and try to implement it. Thanks so much for all you do!!
Jeff, I've watched this video a couple times and "the thing under the thing" makes me think of Inception, the movie. You can go as deep as you want... mind blowing, for sure! Thanks again.

Love it. This turns video production into therapy for us creators... and our viewers. :)
Video Creators it does make you think more like : Why am I making this vid? Eric.
Therapy is good. Thinking is also good. 😬👍
exactly right, Tim!
Love the end about playing a bigger game and slicing off the top of the hill. Perfect touching thing under the thing.
Awesome video Jeff! You’re making a legit impact on the storytelling on this platform and helping people think more deeply! Keep it up!
Thanks man! Lots more where this came from.
This is insanely powerful! Oh man! Super inspired, thank you for this video!
Absolutely!
This was mindblowing. You can really feel the message.
Cool! Glad to hear, Mike!
First I discovered Peter McKinnon, then through him I found Cody Wanner and then I found you. I love this community. It's truly a gift that keeps on giving.
Right on. Glad you're here!
4:14 Woah! This video was brilliant and like Peter said, "It blew my mind!" Thanks for making it! Lots of inspiring thoughts have filled my head!
Fantastic!!
Great stuff, Jeff! Thanks for diving more deeply into (under?!) the thing under the thing. I really liked how you used the b-roll and the cinematic bits in this one, too - keep it up!
Heck yeah, dude. 😬👍

Dude I've been waiting for this video ever since your collab with Cody! The thing under the thing totally changed my vlogging style.
Very cool, Jay. Cheers!
Jeff, yours is one of the only channels that I get genuinely excited when I see it in my notifications. Thanks!
Sweet!! So glad to hear, Jesse.
Nice message! Good job
Thanks!
Powerful bro. Such awesome context and value crystallized in this one. I’ll be linking to this in an upcoming video for sure 👊
Sweet! Please let me know when you do. So good to meet you in person at VidSummit. 😊👍

Fantastic!! Glad to hear, Edgar.
this is absolutely amazing!!! ❤️
Powerful stuff for sure!
Man, that was so eloquently crafted. I've never been able to explain that to those who are curious about editing and storytelling. Thank you!
Hey Corey, thanks man. Feel free to use the idea in future explanations! 😬👍
Well that was clarifying! Thanks a lot! Very useful!
Awesome! Glad it's helpful!
Great video Jeff! Lately when it comes to video, it almost feels like this pent up energy that i have no idea how to channel or express but this really helped put thing into perspective. Also so awesome to see another fellow Angelino on UA-cam! 🙌🏻
Fantastic! Hope you're staying dry today. 😬
Story Greenlight likewise! Hope you’re drinking coffee and staying warm!
Thank you!!! Meaningful and applicable advice like this doesn’t come around too often
Awesome! Well stick around, you might just come across some more of it. 😬
Totally awesome to see how your message is spreading to much larger audiences! Good vid!
Sweet! Thanks!
Great stuff where have you been ? Love the channel
Just crossed the one year mark recently - and just getting started! Glad you're here, man.
Your passion for storytelling comes through in each of your videos, as the old saying goes 'show don't tell'. Amazing content!

That is so cool, man. Glad to hear! 😊👍
Super cool concept man--thanks for sharing this with us.
For sure, man. Cheers!
Story greenlight has to blow up one of these days. One of my favourite channels out there. I have anthother very niche channel, about snake conservation here in Cape Town, and this video has just sparked so many ideas. I think I know what the thing under the thing is, now just have to find ways to present it properly in my content. Thanks Jeff!
Awesome! Very cool, Grant!
Thanks Jeff. Revisit this topic as much as possible. We ALL need this over and over again. Cheers
Thanks Phillip!
I've been enjoying your videos for a while now, Jeff, but this one was really next level for me. Thank you for putting yourself out there and doing what you do, it inspires me and I'm sure many more to keep going. Here's to bigger games :)
Cheers to that. Glad you’re here, Kame Trick. 😊👍🏼
Emotional SuperGlue!! @5:39+, sweet music edit! I'm not sure you can say this enough...the thing...the one under the thing...so powerful. Thanks for continuing to push this in different ways.
Very cool. Thanks, KrizAkoni.
This thing under the thing thing is spot on. We try to do this in each of our weekly videos. We stopped making it about what we are doing and started to think about what it really means to us and others. Thanks for sharing. Was glued to the screen the whole time. Definitely subscribing!
Fantastic! Yeah, the whole "here's what we're doing, now watch us do it" vlog just doesn't work like it used to.
I recently discovered your channel and I'm thrilled that I smashed subscribe and rang the bell!! This is great stuff you've got here!!
Awesome! Glad you're here, man!
Wonderful explanation. Keep doing what you are doing. Love your content!
Awesome. Glad you're here!
So good Jeff! Appreciate the depth of insight and value you're bringing! Rock on!
Man, I really love your work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. :)
Most definitely. Glad you're here, 3Gun Show.
This is the *master* *key* to a good story. Thanks Jeff.
Most welcome.

very cool!! man it really trips me out how NSC and UA-cam connects folks like yourself and I! I am just getting back into all of this, feeling like quite the rookie, and you are a professional editor in hollywood! Not too many years ago, that wasn't even really a possibility!
All I know is I admire you and your perspectives and your willingness to teach the rest of us what you have learned/are learning! It's very much appreciated bub!! Just want you to know that!!
Glad to be of service, bro.😊👍
So good. I love how it gets us focused on speaking deeper. Not just thinking about what they see but how that makes them feel and drives them forward. Great stuff!
Powerful for sure - and it’s there whether we know it or not, it’s up to us to shape it.
Story Greenlight so true! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for the thing under the thing in my next video and be sure to shape and cultivate it
Story Greenlight thanks for the help 😊
Wow. Love this. It's one of those rare game-changer videos that makes us all learn to step up our craft and reimagine our storytelling so it's way more compelling. Thanks so much for this!
Hey Gregg! Very cool, man. Your content has all sorts of possibilities for this.
@@StoryGreenlight totally! Thanks again Jeff 👍
So good. In screenwriting I sometimes refer to it as subtext, or even a clear goal masked in conflict. Makes for so much fun in storytelling.
Agreed. Good stuff. And great seeing you last week at VidSummit!
Likewise - We'll have to hang again soon.
What a way to look at things! Absolutely beautiful. Great video 💪
Sweet! Glad you're here!
Great message Jeff! Similar to another comment I heard from Cody recently; Show your viewer why your doing something, not just what you are doing. i.e. the thing under the thing.
Heck yeah. 😊👍🏼
As SOON as I dropped that "show us the why not the what - I immediately thought, yeah that's just another way to say the thing under the thing.
Love that you add your short resume... people need to know your experience.
Well, we all gotta figure out how to differentiate ourselves from the crush of online humanity, I figure. Also hopefully it helps people know that they can trust what I'm saying too.
@@StoryGreenlight yes, that is what is was thinking. I think it is a huge plus to know your experience.
I love how you teased a coming idea in the beginning, then the 3 things you were going to do, driving that watch time. That color grade...nice. And the building music up the hill, your editing rocks! Still trying to "get" the thing under the thing in more mundane video situations.

Great continuation to the previous video on this topic Jeff this topic is the heart of any video and anything creative really.
True. It's pretty core to understanding lots of stuff.
Just came from Cody's video, definitely subscribing!
Fantastic! Glad you're here, Lubo!
Gina Waters and I just commented to each other on her last vlog, "The thing under the thing!" I forgot that Cody's collab with you was where I first heard it. You rock dude! So stoked the universe has brought us all together. Let's get this.
Heck yeah, man. 😊👍
That ending! Great work. Thanks for bringing it back to something specific and personal.
Absolutely. Thanks, Jake!
You know those videos that you watch at the perfect time in your creative journey?? This was that for me. Loved it and got me thinking a lot about my thing under the thing.
Super pumped to have found you in the #nosmallcreator group. Especially as a fellow Angeleno. 👊🏼
Awesome! Glad to hear, Kevin!
JUST ran across your channel for the first time, Jeff! Wow! Great perspective on diving deep into the thing under the thing. We're just getting started with a videography journey. Love how you composed this vid with the story! Diving in for more! - Brian (Erin too)

Story Greenlight you are welcome! Man, you got skills I am searching. Have watched at least five videos, great stuff! 😊👏🏻
This is so well stated, clear and impactful. I am an artist who understands this in terms of my artistic practice but as have neglected my family and I have begun our youtube channel. The thing under the thing is what caused us to start working together, but it was so easy to lose sight of when in the midst of making. Thanks for this video! I'm excited to start applying this thinking and embedding it into all we do!
It's a powerful idea for sure - crosses over to all sorts of places. That's especially cool to hear about bringing your family together. :-)
WOW...Jeff this is a really great video. I really enjoyed it . I hope I can find the thing under the thing for my videos
Very cool. It's absolutely possible. 😊👍
Hi Jeff I came over from Tim's new series that you were in. I am really excited to find your channel and learn from your experience.
Right on! Glad you’re here!
Whoa! Bravo! This is an amazing mindset.
Sweet! Thanks, Paul!
Awesome! I am just trying to put one of my stories together and this really resonated with me :) thanks!
Awesome. Make sure you check out the video that just dropped on how to level up your content - that’s your next step!
Ah, those wonderful little metaphors, marvellous aren’t they - great video. Thanks😁
Yep, I love 'em. Cheers!
"When you play a bigger game that's how change happens" Jeff thanks for making content like this, always engaging, useful and of course the story. Thanks

This short video was more helpful that your playlist of the thing under the thing. Thank you for your time 🙂
Absolutely! Most welcome.
awesome man! Love this.
Hey man, it's me again. I just have to say a big thanks. I bought your course and wow. You know what you are talking about.
Many talks about storytelling but I have never got my questions answered the same way as you did.
If I was a hardcore subscriber before, I am a premium hardcore subscriber now. :D

“The Emotional Superglue “. 👊🏼Jeff❗️
Thanks, Andy! Yeah, no exaggeration - if we can make people actually FEEL things as a result of interacting with us, we'll leave a far more powerful impression on them.
I love this video! Helps me a lot because I always struggle to identify ‚the thing under the thing‘. thanks
For sure, man!
I'm one step closer to understanding this. Thanks for making the video because I was confused myi that PM clip as well when I saw it.
Sure thing, man.
Loved it, thank you! been watching your videos they are super helpful to me.
Awesome! Glad to hear!
another great topic to talk about would be, how make a "just talking to the camera" video much more interesting, I mean like in a room, not filming outside or walking.
Thank you for doing this Jeff. So, so helpful right now. This is a BIG help to many. Please do more. Quick question, I've downloaded the 27 questions to craft the perfect video (which is another big help); where does "The Thing Under the Thing" coincides with the 27 questions? Would it be part of question #1: What is my Desired Outcome?
Oh, I'm in Dallas now, but I grew up in the same area. Made me a little homesick. :)
Hey Jon - TTUTT isn't addressed directly in the list, but yeah, Desired Outcome would touch on it. That's more part of the actual content itself, which the questions mostly avoid to keep things more applicable overall.
"The Thing under The Thing" - Great Comments under Great Movie!;)
Alriiight!!
Grate Video, Thanks. I am looking forward to more.
More in the works for sure. Cheers!
Jeff this was phenomenal and as a UA-cam educator myself I feel this is something I must share with my subscribers! By the way what’s the amazing song you used starting from 4:50 it was so inspirational
Awesome, Tom! Much appreciated. The cue at 4:50 is by Johannes Bornlöf called "I Will Not Be Shaken 2" from Epidemic Sound. Hit the "find similar" button on that cue and you'll find all sorts of cool stuff like it!
Jeff, love how the "thing under the thing" just keeps going and going. Well done breaking this down!
Thanks, Craig!
Jeff this is so awesome. It really helps put things into perspective for a new filmmaker like me!
Dude, put your shooting chops together with stories that speak to deeper things, and you're unstoppable.
Great explanation Jeff.. keep teaching and making your knowledge available. Find people to test your training program or something, people need to know you. 👊
Workin' on it, man. Thanks! Great to finally meet you in person last week!
@@StoryGreenlight yes it was great meeting in person finally.
Very well said, Micah! Jeff can help so many UA-camrs... Awesome getting to meet both of you last week!
Was hoping you'd expand on this after watching Peter's video!
😬👍
between you brian g Johnson video creators and nick nimons yall are giving me a lot to chew on but i am learning alot ..ty
Fantastic!
Hey brother just wanted to thank you for the solid content!! Amazing message!!!
Most welcome! Glad you're here!
Ummm... you are flipping brilliant and articulated how I feel when am doing videos... why I spend hours trying to figure this thing out... thank you...
Awesome! Thanks, Todd. 😊👍
love this!!!!!!!!!! thank you for sharing these tips
For sure!
Thanks for this very enlightening video!🙌❤
For sure!
This reminds me of the term 'sentimental analysis'.
Personally, I find that there are two minds. One is emotional, savage, risky, unchill. The other is chill, connected to the feelings, careful. The purpose that some teachers try to dictate is to find an equilibrium between the two.
I came over from Blake Kirby's channel, Daddy Kirbs Homestead. Thanks for inspiring him
Awesome! Blake's great! And glad you're here, Wholesome Roots.
@@StoryGreenlight yes he is and thank you!
It's funny, at 1:15 with Peter talking to camera I was thinking, "That looks like Adelaide Street in Belfast". And then it turned out it was Adelaide Street in Belfast.
Very cool!
Dude awesome video thank you Jeff. Really powerful. I've struggled with this for sure on my channel. Understanding how to go deeper because I'm definitely too surfacey. Thank you so much.
Make sure you check out the latest podcast episodes on this channel that talk about the thing under the thing - this video here is missing a lot of explanation in terms of how to actually put it to use. But yes, it’s incredibly powerful stuff.
@@StoryGreenlight Sweet thank you yes I definitely will! All the best Jeff!
It's so true, I've been running around telling my husband. I have to start shooting and editing, show I can show like the thing under the thing!! 😂 He's like huh? Then I explained to him the racing video with your son, and he's like yea that makes so much sense. The thing under the thing is definitely your thing Jeff! I love seeing your videos it's like a little notification for me to make sure I'm thinking about my channel from a more purposeful standpoint. Also, you put into a way that I can actually understand and feel like can take back and try to implement it. Thanks so much for all you do!!
Awesome! So cool to hear that. It's comments like yours that tell me I'm on the right track, so thank you for that. 😊👍
Thank you 🙏🏿 very impactful!
Glad it was helpful!
Soo inspiring man!!! Thanks Bru!!!
Most welcome.
Jeff, I've watched this video a couple times and "the thing under the thing" makes me think of Inception, the movie. You can go as deep as you want... mind blowing, for sure!
Thanks again.
It's multi-layered for sure.
Thanks for giving us the key to unlock the thing under the thing. Most people don't look past the surface.... Reading people is an art on it's own....
Very true, very true.
