What is the most useful item in your workspace?
I think my Monitor. I can plug my PC via DisplayPort, my Macbook via Thunderbolt USB-C and my consoles, like Nintendo Switch or SNES Mini, via HDMI.
How do you spark creativity?
Mostly reading, drawing and playing video games ;)
How do you manage work-life balance?
I try to separate work and leisure, but it's not always possible when a large part of your work depends on creating content on social networks and generating community.
I am gradually limiting my access to social networking apps from my cell phone, to use them only when I am in front of my laptop or PC.
What is an underrated strategy for growing on YouTube?
Well, I can't say. The algorithm works the way it wants many times. It's hard to make it "love you". I think the only "trick" is to be consistent over time and true to your own style. Little by little you will see results.
