In this episode, Midgeman and Lionheartx10 read an email from a listener named Spooderman who praises their podcast and asks about balancing content creation with family life. This episode discusses content creators retiring or taking breaks from their channels. Both hosts share their thoughts on their own content creation journeys and future exit plans and we delve back in Lionhearts Phillips story from a previous episode
They also touch on the value of a history degree and the skills it provides, as well as the versatility of being a creator in the arts. Lionheartx10 envisions continuing his current path for at least five more years, focusing on building partnerships and sponsorships and saving up money for future investments. He also expresses interest in branching out into production and hosting roles. Midgeman shares his desire to transition into a more behind-the-scenes role, facilitating and supporting other creators. They both discuss the possibility of working with game companies like Hooded Horse or Firefly Studios.
