#SGGQA 161: Creator Chat – Isa Rodriguez – Isa Does Tech!

The goal is always to broaden our horizons. To really listen to more voices in the creator space, and check out different points of view. It’s never fun when our hobby becomes an echo chamber.

Isa has been a pal of mine for years, contributing to tech commentary at larger publications, but has taken it on herself to host her own style of review on her personal YouTube channel.

That’s a key word. Style. Isa Does Tech has only been around for about a year, but from her first video published, she approaches her commentary with a polished presentation, and a lot of style.

It’s not all roses though, she had a lot to share on the challenges of being a tech reviewer, when you have something a little different to say about consumer electronics. Continue reading “#SGGQA 161: Creator Chat – Isa Rodriguez – Isa Does Tech!”

Our second return appearance on this show!

Adam is a passionate advocate for the art of podcasting, but from his first appearance on Creator Chat to now, he’s changed up his production.

Previously working under another company’s media umbrella, those older podcasts were discontinued. Adam had a lot to say about those podcasts getting closed out, and what it was like striking out on his own to start up his new show, The Benefit of the Doud podcast.

#SGGQA 155: Creator Chat – Enobong Etteh from BooredatWork RETURNS!

Our first return appearance on this show. My buddy Enobong Etteh from BooredatWork is dropping by to follow up on our previous conversation. Making changes to a channel can be stressful. BooredatWork pivoted on smartphone and gaming content, and E had a lot to share about how his audience reacted to that change in coverage.

E also had some feelings to share on the current political issues facing our country, on the protests, and how it’s affecting the tech community. We’re going to be discussing some raw topics, but Enobong’s style is always thoughtful and considered.
