In this episode I sit down with Mayuko, a content creator who worked in Silicon Valley as a Software Engineer before going full time with YouTube.

Mayuko talked to me about what it was like working in and leaving Silicon Valley, how she grew her YouTube channel whilst juggling a full time job & wedding planning and how her first YouTube video went viral.

Enjoy 😃
