Oh man… I am constantly thinking about upgrades. Can I cheat and say three?A wider & deeper standing desk. My current one is 48” by 24” — something bigger (and deeper) would give me a lot more space.A nice chair from a real chair company. I’ve been considering going hard into becoming a YouTube desk setup guy, just to angle myself to receive a free chair from a real company. One of those things where I feel like I have no clue what I’m missing out on.A Sony FX3 camera. Complete overkill for what I currently need, but I am a video nerd and want the best of the best, always.

When I’m working with brands, it’s actually doomscrolling — seeing what’s getting me to laugh, share, and click through… when I know what’s getting me, it helps drive my creativity for my work. On my personal content, it’s reflecting back each week at the projects I was on and the conversations I had. I jog my memory for moments where I can pull something out and turn it into a video or a post that might help someone else.

Sounds ironic, but it’s actually the access to other interesting people. I don’t have many people in my real life who I can jam with about creator tactics, organic social, and what’s working in content… but working from home gives me the chance to have the coolest possible coworkers & clients I could possibly ask for. I might be in the first generation of people who have ONLY worked from home in their professional careers. Yet, for as extroverted as I am, I think WFH gives me a better shot at meeting cooler people and working on cooler projects. I kind of shudder at the idea of working a local marketing job. For some reason, I find more comfort in the strangers I meet online.
