Here are some key points that I would advise you to concentrate on

•  Max was inspired by the stories told by his family “You know the passion for history comes from forever ago when I was a little little kid I I think in large part it came from listening to my grandparents my grandpa and and my nana on my mom’s side especially would tell me stories of the great depression and world war II and what it was like growing up in the 1920’s and 1930’s and it was just such a foreign world to you know an 8 year old living in Phoenix in 1990 or whatever. But the way that they told it I was able to be there. They were such good storytellers and ever since then I’ve always seen history just as stories now. ” 

• Max is self-taught when it comes to making videos, cooking and baking etc. He found the resources he needed to learn as the need to use these skills came up. It is OK not to know everything, you can admit you need help, find suitable coaches and experts to assist where needed, fill in knowledge gaps and improve, even if working towards that 1% improvement every day, you are growing and developing.  

• I love Max’s channel in that it allows you to understand our history and how our diets and food preparation and cooking methods are shaped, and how things may change in the future.
