In this episode of I Hope This Helps, we sit down with Jason “Jay” Yadlovski, a creator who quietly built one of the most respected educational YouTube channels around DaVinci Resolve—without chasing trends or overnight success.

Jay shares his journey from a Rutgers-trained engineering and landscape architecture career to becoming a stay-at-home dad, teaching himself video editing during nap times, and slowly turning consistency into a sustainable creative business. What started in 2013 as curiosity and experimentation grew into a YouTube channel with over 133,000 subscribers, steady growth, and real freedom.

We talk about the reality of long-term content creation—why growth feels invisible for years, how comparison can kill momentum, and why most people quit right before things start to work. Jay explains why YouTube is a long game, how building a content catalog creates momentum, and why staying in your lane matters more than being everywhere.

This conversation also dives into simplifying complex ideas, responding to negativity with perspective, balancing family and creativity, and building something meaningful without shortcuts.

Toward the end, Jay also shares why audio is one of the most overlooked parts of content creation and how mastering sound can instantly elevate your videos—no matter what camera or setup you’re using.

If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or someone building something from the ground up, this episode is for you.If nothing else… I Hope This Helps
