Show notes

This week Michael and Daniel just could not get together. Michael is knee deep in rehearsal for the Hollywood Fringe Festival every night and Daniel had family visiting from Texas, so, needless to say they each had to record their updates separately and Michael made sure to put together a preview of next week's interview.

Next week we will introduce you to a YouTuber named Brandon Collymore and his YouTube channel "BrandonDoesEverything" Brandon is a 19 year rising YouTube gaming star with over 160,000 Subscribers. Now, I know in the modern era of millions of subscribers, that can seem like a drop in a hat, but the work Brandon puts in and the hustle it takes to drive people to your channel is something that few can say they're willing to do. Brandon discusses how he got his start on YouTube, how a deal with his mother led to him dropping out of college to go full time. He discusses the issues, the challenges, and the friends he has made. Daniel and Brandon also teach Michael a little bit about wrestling.
