On this holiday special episode of Creators Campfire, I was grateful to be joined by 2 creators I massively admire and who I am lucky enough to now call my friends.

Tom Buck and Heather Ramirez are a YouTube Power Couple with 3 channels and 3 podcasts between them.

Not only this but Heather is also a YouTube coach and Tom a Digital Media Teacher.

They have both previously joined me on the show individually, but are now doing their first show together, outside of their own channels.

This was a really fun conversation where we not only talked about how they met, but also the highs and lows of being married to another content creator and how they manage to carve out downtime.

I could not have thought of 2 better guests to close out the year with and I am so thankful they agreed to join me again.

I highly recommend checking out both of their channels and podcasts, and I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did.

Wishing you all a great 2021.

On this week's episode, I was joined by another one of my favourite Tech YouTubers, Noah Herman.

Over the last 5 years, Noah has built up a following of over 153k subscribers on YouTube and he has done this whilst studying, having started his channel at the age of only 15.

We talk about how Noah has managed both his channel and school over the years, why he started his channel in the first place and what really made his channel take off.

Noah also talks about how strange it can feel to be known and admired by others as a creator and is something that he's still getting used to.

You can follow Noah on YouTube.

Huge thanks to Noah for joining me and being such a wonderful guest and giving me the privilege of being his first interview.

Finally, I'd like to apologise for the audio on my end for this episode. I'm not quite sure what went wrong, but I'm very quiet and as there was only one audio track, there wasn't a lot I could do about this!

I hope you guys enjoy this episode.

On this week's episode, I was joined by Siri Shortcuts expert, Matthew Cassinelli.

Matthew is also a writer, podcaster and YouTuber and previously worked for Workflow before it was bought out by Apple and became Shortcuts.

We spoke about Matthew's amazing career so far, how he managed to fit YouTube into it and why he wanted to start his channel.

We also talked about the pressures of YouTube, how easy it can be to get caught up in numbers and what others want and the importance of staying true to yourself so you put out the content that you want to create.

Matthew's podcast Smart Tech Today (on TWiT) goes live every Monday and he also has a newsletter and Siri Shortcuts membership (which includes 400 free shortcuts with documentation for all actions used), and a newsletter (with more free shortcuts).

You can find Matthew on Twitter (@MattCassinelli) or on his YouTube channel.

On this week's episode, I was joined by Podcaster, Photographer and Videographer, Jared Spink.

We talked about what is was like for Jared to start his business during a slow period of the year and how he has navigated it through the current pandemic, whilst also starting a podcast and already having a YouTube channel.

Jared also talked about how he manages his workflows, how important consistency and just getting started are and how his creative endeavours have grown over time.

I also manage to sneak in some gear related questions for myself.

Heather quit her job back in 2016 and started not 1, but 2 YouTube channels.
