Today is a solo Q&A episode! I'm both excited and nervous, and I want to remind everyone listening in that these answers are all my own opinion. I'm answering questions from both Instagram and Patreon, and I'm just sitting down to talk to you. I didn't prepare anything so these are my pure thoughts — raw, real, and only slightly edited. Now sit back and get ready to hear all about why I've learned to overcommunicate, the fact that there is no timeline for this career regardless of what you may hear, and how I once wrote my dad a 2 page thesis on why he should let me get a hamster.
