The MOOD Podcast

Recently I was invited to be a Guest on The MOOD Podcst and to chat with host Matt Jacob about all things my Photography, Content Creation, Presenting, YouTube, Social Media and all things in-between.

I had a blast!

Chatting with Matt felt like we’d known each other for years.

He asked me so many questions I’ve never been asked before and we got deeper and deeper, if not a litle contraversial at times.

The episode is now available to listen on all podcast platforms and also to watch over on YouTube

I was invited to be a guest on The Mood Podcast to chat with host Matt Jacob about my photography, content creation, presenting, YouTube, social media and everything in between. Chatting with Matt felt like we'd known each other for years; he asked me so many questions I'd never been asked before, and the conversation got deeper and deeper, if not a little controversial at times. A big part of it is about growing a YouTube channel from scratch and what really goes into building a following.
