29. An accidental YouTuber | with Michael Soledad

This time around, Alex and I welcome Michael Soledad to the podcast.

 

He’s had a remarkable journey, and we were lucky enough to chat to him and really deep-dive in to what makes him tick, his content creation process, the direction the channel has taken, and the YouTube lifestyle.

 

The Apple Watch Ultra gets a good going over too - and just who is it for?

 

This is one you’ll want to watch a few times through - content gold!
