Whats up guy’s!!! It's Nate coming at you with another episode with my special guest and this week I am joined by my friend, session drummer Actor, comedian and food enthusiast Tim Baltes!!!

If you have ever seen Tim's videos you know he is not shy about wearing his heart on his sleeve and sharing his journey, life and drumming through his content. Thats why I thought it would be perfect to bring him on and have him speak on ways we all can be our real selves while we create content.

Tim's Five:

1) Be Honest.  

2) Create in content formats that feel like you.  

3) Use the tools that you thrive using. 

4) Use your personality type to your advantage to connect with others the way you want to connect with them. 

5) The only story you can rely on is your own.

We really hope you enjoyed our chat and found some great tips that you can then apply to your own content because the best thing you can do after listening to this is DO IT for yourself!!
