24. Chilling with Alex Gear & Tech

I’ve been back in the car this week, racking up the miles for the podcast. This time I met up with fellow content creator Alex, from the YouTube channel Alex Gear & Tech. We met in his studio, and had a good long natter about everything from working with brands, knowing your value, working with other creators, and the future of the channel. All his links are below where you can find & follow him.

So, what say you we go meet Alex!
