Content creation is my happy place and my biggest source of self-doubt, often at the same time.

After years of honing my craft, I've now got my benchmarks.

Two hours editing per hour of podcast. 🎙️

Progress.

Super excited to see Project Hail Mary tonight.

I loved the book, Andy Weir really has a knack at nailing these relatable sci-fi characters with engaging plot twists and the reviews I've seen so far (on Letterboxd) have been very promising.
