Going Independent on YouTube with Becca Farsace!

It's time for a bonus episode! This month, we caught up with Becca Farsace to talk about her leaving traditional media to become an independent YouTube creator. We ask her about what it's like to be starting a channel in 2024 and also how she thinks about everything from thumbnails to short form content. We learned a lot chatting with her and we hope you do too! Enjoy.
