Sign up for my Beginner YouTube Course today at zhighley.com/byc to learn how to record and edit next-level videos so you can finally get noticed on YouTube.

I'll admit it. I love gear. I love 10-bit color space, 32-bit audio, 4k 120 fps, drones, gimbals, motorized sliders, and multicolored lighting; I love all of it. When I first started on YouTube, I hunted down these kinds of videos from Casey Neistat, Matt D'avella, Ali Abdaal, and MKBHD. Even though those videos weren't their most popular, I remember watching each of them about 3x over because I wanted to know how my YouTube idols made videos. I wanted, and still want to, be like them. I loved those videos, and they guided me on my first camera purchases ever. So here is my attempt at that video, collecting everything I've learned across my two years on YouTube.

Who am I:

My name is Zach. I’m a fourth-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, studying, and growth. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post it either on YouTube or on my website 🌐 (https://zhighley.com/​​).

I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (https://zhighley.com/newsletter/​​) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Join the 2,800+ that read it every Sunday morning.
