Juggling school and creative pursuits ft. Tom Smail

Juggling school and creative pursuits ft. Tom Smail

Wether you work full time, or study full time, you might agree that its not always easy to find time for other passions. Not being that great at time management myself I thought I would sit down with my friend Tom. Tom lives in Amsterdam, but studies in Sweden and while being a full time student he's also a videographer and content creator. How does he juggle it all?
