Today's video of the day comes from YouTuber Jackson Crawford and shows hims speaking in Old Norse from some ancient texts.  Crawford is an expert in Scandinacian studies, and shows us how you can take your area of expertise and form a community around that.  In today's media landscape you will find people who are interested in what you have to offer, no matter how narrow the interest is. Today we live in a world of narrow-casters and audiences looking for content that is specific to their interests. If you have something that you are an expert in, start making videos about it!
