There are so many podcasts out there already from the perspectives of successful creators. This one is different. It’s from my perspective as a small YouTuber. I take you with me on my journey of filming, editing and publishing videos, writing blog articles, leaving old and exploring new social media platforms, and just everything that comes with a “content creator life”… I know, the title is a bit lame. But that’s just what it’s about in the end. I hope you enjoy this podcast!
