✅ Produced our 2nd YouTube Creator Collective in our hometown of STL

My favorite thing about these events is we get to bring people out of their creative routines to just chill and have fun together.

Get them away from the edits, the thumbnail designs, closing the dang laptop, ya feel me

Thank you to:

▫️ @youtubecreators for trusting us with this event

▫️ @bradenstl for curating the wonderful @foodieseatfirstfest

▫️ @thepascalshow for accepting our nomination for YouTube Creator Champion. You immediately came to mind when we were asked who we’d pick 🏆

▫️ @jaclynnbrennan for being a champion for creators, spaces like these are needed

▫️ My team for capturing the photo & video and documenting it so well, insane that my own business shot for YouTube 🥹

A decade of my life is available for public consumption on the internet.

Starting a YouTube channel proved to be one of the most influential decisions I’d ever make.

It started as a creative outlet. Then I’m suddenly accepting a job offer from Porsche because of skills I learned from making content. Then I’m suddenly drafting my two weeks notice to start pursuing video production full-time. Then I’m suddenly working with household names and brands, some on projects I have NDAs for (and some are insane). Then I’m being titled “YouTube Creator Champion” and curating an official YouTube event in my hometown. And here I am now, typing this caption.

Take risks. Have fun. Life’s too short not to.

I’ve been insanely focused on filming a mini-doc lately, and this is the rig kit that I enjoy using the most 😀

No shade to anyone or the event organizers, but I walked outta that event with a raised eyebrow for sure. 🤨

Assistive AI is one thing, but this is a term I’m struggling to comprehend.
