Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

Have you had a creative weekend so far? Whether you’ve been writing, filming, editing, or simply dreaming up your next big idea, I’ve got some inspiring content to fuel your passion and keep you moving forward. So grab your coffee, and let’s dive in.

This week’s featured video comes from Corridor Crew: Stuntmen React to THE KARATE KID (ft. Ben Wang). Corridor Digital founder Niko Pueringer and professional stuntman Gui Silva (Black Panther, among others) are joined by the new Karate Kid himself, Ben Wang, for a high-energy breakdown of fight scenes and stunt choreography from The Karate Kid: Legends, Jackie Chan’s legendary roles, and the original Karate Kid films.

Beyond being a masterclass in physical performance and action storytelling, this video is also a reminder of how platforms like YouTube have transformed the way we consume, and create, content.

We’ve talked before about YouTube’s influence on the industry, but it’s worth repeating: entire generations now see YouTube as their primary entertainment platform. In fact, 40% of all viewers get their content from YouTube. For younger audiences, it’s used more than Netflix or any other streaming service.

So, what does that mean for you as a creator? It means YouTube can be one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal. Whether you’re building a brand, launching a project, sharing behind-the-scenes content, or developing a following, YouTube gives you direct access to your audience, with total creative control.

It’s not about chasing virality. It’s about building awareness, offering value, and showing your work in action. Just like Ben Wang is doing here: being part of a cultural legacy and showing his personality through thoughtful commentary on the craft. Learn more in my video here.

How do you use YouTube—as a viewer or creator? Are you watching breakdowns, learning new skills, sharing your content, or doing something completely unique? Let us know in the comments.

As always, we love sharing inspiration, tools, and insights that help fuel your creative fire. Know someone who would love this content? Share it with them. And don’t forget to tag us (@Stage32) if you do. You can keep up with everything we’re doing on the Stage 32 YouTube and by following me on Instagram and X: @rbwalksintoabar.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and creative Sunday.

Cheers,

RB
