#SGGQA 062: Creator Chat – Justin and Logan from Tek Syndicate

Welcome to another creator chat on the SGGQA podcast channel! I often think the story of how a creator got started is just as interesting and entertaining as the stuff they make.

Notable for the fact that he produces videos for a local audience in German, and internationally in English, he has to pull double duty in managing the different expectations of such a broad audience. I’ll let him tell you all about it…
