In this episode I sit down with YouTuber, Podcaster and Course Creator, August Bradley.
August started YouTube with a clear plan in mind - put out a series of videos teaching people how to design an intentional life through Notion.

August spoke to me about what that growth and journey looked like for him, how's he's now looking to pivot his content and how you can take the first steps to living a more intentional life today.

E34 Tom Buck & Heather Ramirez | Being a YouTube Power Couple
On this holiday special episode of Creators Campfire, I was grateful to be joined by 2 creators I massively admire and who I am lucky enough to now call my friends.
Tom Buck and Heather Ramirez are a YouTube Power Couple with 3 channels and 3 podcasts between them.
Not only this but Heather is also a YouTube coach and Tom a Digital Media Teacher.
They have both previously joined me on the show individually, but are now doing their first show together, outside of their own channels.
This was a really fun conversation where we not only talked about how they met, but also the highs and lows of being married to another content creator and how they manage to carve out downtime.
I could not have thought of 2 better guests to close out the year with and I am so thankful they agreed to join me again.
I highly recommend checking out both of their channels and podcasts, and I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did.
Wishing you all a great 2021.
