Hey folks! Here's a video just for Patreons, although Brandon and I may use short clips of this in future videos.

I've been following Brandon Boswell for a while, and I even reached out to him a few months ago just to meet him for a virtual coffee. Fast forward several months, and we were able to do it in person! We met up in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to have a coffee and chat about:

how Brandon's building a to-do/planner app called Playlist and wants to do it in public, but is afraid to start with it
how we both balance YouTube with work and life
how we approach time management
how we both set goals

It was really interesting how different our answers were for some of these. I loved delving into how he does things! By far the best part of YouTube has been the community and friendships it's brought me. Brandon's one of the good ones. Go follow him and check out his stuff!

Thanks for your support, lovely Patreons! Have a wonderful week!
