    • Leisure

Dive into the challenges and rewards of living the RV lifestyle and creating content on the road with guest, Scott Watson from Go Small, Live Large. In this episode, we explore the realities of YouTube creator burnout and the pursuit of a fulfilling life on wheels, shedding light on the often-unseen struggles behind the camera. Tune-in to gain a deeper understanding of life as a full-time RVer and content creator.

Episode Guest

In 2017, Scott was unhappy with a traditional lifestyle that included a big house (or as he call it, his storage unit) a long Chicago commute to a corporate job that left him unfulfilled. In 2018, he created a plan to reinvent his life. It began with buying a Winnebago Travato GL Camper Van and then started a YouTube channel about Vanlife. In September 2021, he exited corporate America and became fully self-employed through YouTube and his RV partners. In February 2024 he completed his fifth year of full-time van travel. April 2024 begins a planned sabbatical from posting content on YouTube. Returning on August 28, 2024, he plans new types of content, including taking Viewers with him to exciting destinations such distilleries as a “bourbon hunter”. Today, Scott is most pleased with the amazing Go Small. Live Large! Community he has built with his audience through YouTube and in-person events. As he says at the end of each video, “Journey On!”.
