I used to tell people that I am not a creative person because I cannot draw beautiful art or write dope lyrics. "I'm good at dotting the i and crossing the t, analytical stuff suits me better", is what I would say.

I used to flirt with the idea of a podcast but I struggled with creating content that I like to read/watch. I discovered that I'm not passionate enough to podcast about it.

After months of nudging by Lotus, one of my earliest Bitcoiner friends as a Bitcoiner in Miami, I was confident in my ability to be creative in things that I am passionate about. (Fitness & Bitcoin)

Around that time, Captain Brunch started his v4v podcast, Saturday Night LIT. I was one of the first few episodes and at the end of my time; the host asked me where people could find me and I did have a good answer but it lit a fire in me.

This v4v idea lead me to start thinking of ways I could provide value and that led to me starting my personal training business. I''ve always encouraged my family and friends to workout. I value my bitcoin but if someone provides value to me then I like to pay in bitcoin. I also want to earn it as well.

That's why I did NASM Certified Personal Trainer program so I could learn how to be a more effective trainer. Now that I am training people and making educational fitness content for Bitcoiners, I feel like I am full of creativity!

I'm learning a whole new suite of skills so I can make content that people are entertained by long enough to get some value from it. That combined with the personal satisfaction I get from now getting paid bitcoin to do something that I really love has me feeling happier than I have in a minute.

When I go to bitcoin meetups and people comment on something I've posted on NOSTR or ask me to show them a stretch or form tips, I know they are getting some value from it.

So all that to say, I really identify with this post because I feel like I have found my way to provide Value to this community. Not just SN, or the Miami bitcoin scene, but the greater bitcoin community.
