Science and business follow the same principles and are practically the same thing - you experiment, you observe, you make conclusions, and you repeat.

Attend a FREE AevyTV video editing masterclass - https://class.aevytv.com/learn_editingUploaded 24-01-25I'm exploring philosopher René Girard's fascinating theory of mimetic desire - how most of our wants aren't actually our own, but copied from others. From that dream car to your career goals, I'll uncover why you desire what you desire, how these imitated wants create rivalry and conflict, and why social media amplifies these tensions.

How Distribution Can 10x Your Luck, Career and Income | KATA 10
Check Out GenC: https://forms.genc.club/r/wv7y08?utm_source=vm_julyUploaded 16-07-26In this Kata, we talk about one of the most important ideas we've learned after building content for years: distribution. We discuss why it's often more valuable than the product itself, how it creates opportunities that you can't predict, and why building an audience is really about building trust over time, not just chasing views.We also break down how people actually make decisions. From buying products to hiring people, we explore why repeated exposure matters, why content rarely gives instant results, and how trust is built through consistent touchpoints across different platforms. Along the way, we share practical ways to think about content, personal branding, and growing a business in the long run.Finally, we look at what separates content that performs from content that doesn't. We discuss the metrics that actually matter, common mistakes companies make, why many businesses still underestimate content, and why playing the long game almost always wins. If you're trying to build a company, grow your career, or simply get more people to know your work, this Kata is a good place to start.00:00 Intro00:57 Distribution is 10x more valuable than product04:07 How we made superstars out of nobodies05:04 All your success is luck07:46 Build yourself a lightning catcher09:51 What a big audience actually gets you12:42 The difference between content and distribution15:47 Is trust even measurable20:49 The exact number of touchpoints you need27:25 How to know if your content is working34:54 Why marketing managers won't do this37:54 Summary and closing Learn more about your ad choices.

Head over to https://hostinger.com/in/varun and use the promo code VARUN to get 10% off on 12 months and above plans and use VARUN15 to save 15% for 24 months and above plans at checkout!Uploaded 25-09-25In this video, we show you how to use n8n, an open-source visual workflow automation tool that’s quickly becoming the go-to alternative to Zapier in the AI era. Because instead of writing code, n8n lets you drag and drop nodes to connect apps, services, and APIs, making it easy to automate complex workflows across marketing, tech, or personal use cases.We’ll start with the basics… what n8n is, how workflows work, and how you can set up your own automation server on Hostinger for unlimited workflows at a fraction of the cost of cloud solutions. From there, you’ll learn step by step how to build a simple workflow, followed by a more advanced one that integrates Telegram, Google Calendar, and AI agents to automatically schedule meetings.Then, we’ll also go beyond just theory. Debugging errors, working with JSON templates, setting up APIs, and showing you exactly how automation plays out in real time. You’ll also see how to bring in AI decision-making with models like Google Gemini, and how to handle both text and voice inputs in your automations.Finally, we’ll explore a second, more creative workflow: using n8n to turn Reddit posts into fully automated AI-generated videos with avatars, voiceovers, and auto-publishing pipelines.Watch the video till the end to understand everything you need to start building your own workflows and running parts of your life or business on autopilot.Links to the workflows: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17x8MESQyQCuxrPnZN_-2hrWBwY4NVcl_?usp=sharing00:00 - Introduction00:50 - What is n8n and core concepts (JSON, workflows, nodes)02:46 - Setting up n8n with Hostinger03:58 - Creating the first workflow05:56 - Understanding workflow and debugging errors17:11 - Setting up API credentials21:03 - Exploring existing n8n workflow templates22:48 - Advanced workflow: Reddit to AI video automation27:04 - Best practices and knowing when to use automation vs humans28:09 - Final thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

I Review My Own 2017 Book On Freelancing
In 2017, Abhinav Chhikara (founder of 10K Designers) and I wrote "Pyjama Profit" - a book that predicted the remote work revolution years before the pandemic made it mainstream. This book provided a blueprint for building a sustainable freelance career and became a guide for thousands of young professionals in India. 7 years later, we revisit our predictions and explore deep insights about creativity, personal branding, and building trust online - all predicted years before they became mainstream concepts. From pioneering remote work strategies to accurately forecasting the rise of AI, we break down what we got right and wrong about the future of work. We also share invaluable lessons about building sustainable careers on the internet and why community matters more now than ever. An insider's perspective on how freelancing has evolved from a niche concept to a global movement, and where the next opportunities might emerge.Uploaded 08-11-240:00 - Introduction to "Pyjama Profit" book from 20174:25 - Original motivation behind writing the book about freelancing10:34 - Freelance economy predictions and remote work evolution19:36 - Evolution of design industry and UI/UX transformation30:35 - Content writing and marketing industry changes41:30 - Why Product Management failed as a freelance category51:00 - Why cold emailing is no longer effective for freelancers1:18:06 - AI predictions from 2017 and their accuracy today1:22:24 - New predictions for the future of work and freelancing Learn more about your ad choices.
