Scott the miniature maniac, or Miniac, is one of those channels that has been so cool to watch them go from a small audience to one of the largest hobby content creators on YouTube.  To be completely honest and transparent, I was not exactly sure what to expect when talking to Scott.  He is so lively and entertaining on his channel, but is more reserved and composed on the Trapped Under Plastic podcast.  We had literally had zero interactions before our conversation, so I went in expecting to interact with the character, Scott the Miniature Maniac, but what I got was a humble Scott, a guy who really loves what he does, and takes his path very seriously.  So, if I come off a little more aggressive than I usually do, it is because for the first time in my history of talking with people about stuff, I was genuinely caught off guard by him.  We have a great discussion about the leap of faith it takes to go full time on YouTube, and we even take a look at the dark underside of content creation.  Thank you Scott for chatting with me, I hope you want to do it again in the future, and this time I will be more prepared.    Check out my twitch at www.twitch.tv/heathaldrich Check out my music at https://heathaldrich.bandcamp.com/ If you want a podcast version of this episode https://open.spotify.com/show/0PganrMaZnzuRjZ6lnvcet?si=hsoiTMubRhi1hHwcUucJDA or search wherever you get your podcasts.
