Behind the Vlog: Sharing My YouTube Earnings with the Circle of Trust

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain for the Circle of Trust to explain the latest Brickey Vlog—where I break down exactly how much money I made in my first month of YouTube. But this episode goes deeper than dollars. It’s about transparency, creative strategy, and the weird psychology around sharing earnings publicly. Why take a risk like this? Why share numbers that might make people uncomfortable—or worse, turn on you if they get too good? Because this is the story behind the experiment: the gamble, the curiosity, the long game. If you’ve been building something of your own, this one’s for you.
