Summary
There is a lot of dark truth about being a YouTuber that has not been shared. I have been a YouTuber since the age of 16 years old and now I am 27. I have seen the goo, the bad and the dark side. From touring, to YouTuber / Celebrity parties to filming alone in your bedroom, I have done it all and I have a lot of insight.
This podcast is for those that are looking to be a creator, and for the creators that have been in it for as long as me and don't feel seen.
