In this episode of What I'm Working On, I discuss how the launch of my latest course, "Dub Dub Grub" went and how that led to me being burnt out. I also discuss what I'm going to focus on for the rest of 2021 with CreatorView and how that wasn't an easy decision even though it's REALLY what I want to do. I give my thoughts on WWDC 2021 among many other topics.

Today I sit down with Chris Mauldin, iOS Developer at Aluna to get an update on his career at the 1.5 years of experience mark. For those that don't remember, we hired Chris at Aluna based off my YouTube video that specifically looked to hire someone for their first job. Chris ended up getting this job and we did further podcast episodes discussing his first 30 days on the job. Now we're checking in with Chris after a year and a half to see how it's been going.
