#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.

#SGGQA 147: Creator Chat – Joshua Vergara on Tech, Tea, and Gratitude

A community is like a garden. With some care and attention, you grow community you want. You wouldn’t want to put all your energy into building a community of poison ivy.

Joshua Vergara is one of the more thoughtful creators I follow. I particularly appreciate his focus on the lifestyle side while reviewing lifestyle tech. He took a little time to chat about what it was like moving from one smartphone publication to another, how he got started shooting video reviews, and we took a little time to catch up and chat about tea.
