In this episode, Mel reveals how to craft compelling YouTube hooks, leverage the platform's recommendation algorithm, and foster authentic audience connections. We also explore the vital roles of generosity and gratitude in building a purpose-driven lifestyle, how to persevere through the inevitable tough times that we all will face, and so much more.
