WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.480 Boy, it feels weird being on this side of the camera, like, straight up. 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:08.560 All right, Daddy, how's your day going? It's going great. How's yours? Not bad, not bad. 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:16.360 It's good to hear. So we finally get to do a meet the team on the guy that does the meet the teams. 00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:21.480 Yeah, I guess so. I mean, you've done a couple of meet the teams, too. That's just been all of me, but... 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.120 Yeah, no, it's good to have, I guess, one of us on the other side of the camera. 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:31.160 So I guess for those who don't know, give us a quick introduction of who you are and what you do at LMG. 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:36.640 I'm Arthur. Some of you guys might know me as Artie. I think that's what most people around the office call me nowadays. 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.800 I'm the social media manager, so I'm in charge of the social media team. 00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:46.000 We do things like posts, memes, tiktoks, reels, YouTube shorts. 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.560 They're all kind of the same, I guess. And we're in charge of flow playing exclusive. 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:55.120 So basically anything you guys have watched done by us or at least has run through us, something like that. 00:00:55.160 --> 00:00:59.480 Awesome. Now, tell us a little bit about how you got to LMG. 00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:03.920 What made you join? How I got to LMG? That's a good question. 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.080 So I've been watching LMG for a little bit now. 00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:11.960 I think I was most in tune around like 2015, 2016, 2017. 00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:16.880 That's when I was like really, really into tech. I started really getting into PC building. 00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:20.200 I built my second PC and I really felt like the first one. 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.720 I didn't know what I was doing, but the second one, I tried to do my research. 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.040 LTT was obviously one of the places I want to to kind of try and figure that out. 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.280 Always thought it'd be a really cool place to work. And I knew that they were very close to where I lived. 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.040 I remember way back in the day, funnily enough, we have a Christmas party today, 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.240 but way back in the day, watching that one Christmas party that we made an LTT video on 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:46.520 that Linus was giving everybody razor blades. I thought that was the coolest thing ever. 00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:49.560 So I thought it would be a really cool idea to work here. 00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:54.960 It just so happens to match up with what I've kind of done throughout my life, essentially. 00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:58.040 I've been creating content since I was a kid. 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:03.480 I've been on YouTube since like what, 2006, 2007, since I was like eight years old. 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.040 So I've been really, really in tune with everything that's been going on. 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:12.320 And I just wanted to kind of like take my skills to the next level. Obviously, I've been doing stuff for myself. 00:02:12.320 --> 00:02:17.240 I've been able to get a little bit of following on my own. Nothing on the same level that I'm able to reach here, 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.920 which it's been an amazing experience so far. Awesome. 00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:27.280 So I know when I first joined here, you were still a social media coordinator, just like me. 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.960 How does it feel different to finally be, I guess, the manager instead of the coordinator? 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:37.480 Like I've seen you grow into the role, but what was the biggest change for you during that transition? 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:44.600 Oh my gosh. Yeah, I mean, it was a big transition, in my opinion. 00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:53.760 I had a lot to learn. I had done leadership positions in the past, just really small ones with my university and stuff. 00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:58.960 But yeah, actually, being in charge of other people, it's a lot. 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.560 Like you're worried about so many other things as a social media coordinator. 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.640 You're kind of just worried about, are my posts good? 00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:09.640 Are people interacting with them? 00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:16.000 Am I proud of what I'm putting out? But as a manager, you're also trying to figure out, is your team good? 00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:19.240 Do they feel all right and just making sure that's all good? 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:25.000 Also helping them kind of develop their skills with whatever experience I've learned throughout the years. 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:32.200 There's a lot of new things that you have to do as a manager that I could not even imagine doing when I was a coordinator. 00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:36.680 So easing into that and learning those things on the way, it's been a big challenge. 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:42.280 But so far, I feel like it's been really fruitful and I've been able to learn a lot of stuff, 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:48.000 especially from the other managers and leaders here. Absolutely. And hey, now we have a team of four people. 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:56.000 Yeah, that's correct. Yes. As someone who works in social media, you're probably expected to be on top of all the trends 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.520 and be on top of everything now, I guess, what we call Gen Z as well. 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.000 How do you deal with this? Does it come naturally to you? Is it a lot of effort? 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.280 I'm sure a lot of the audience wonders how we come up with that stuff. 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:14.640 Yeah. So it requires being essentially online all the time. 00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:20.320 It's a blessing and a curse. I'm always in tune with what's going on in the tech space, 00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:24.000 even outside the tech space, just like in general, what's going on. 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.520 But it's a curse in the sense that being online all the time can't be healthy for your mental. 00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:35.560 With as much good that there is on the internet, there's a lot of bad. There's a lot, a lot of bad. 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:42.080 So you kind of have to see all of this and you do your best to kind of filter out the bad stuff 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:45.840 and just focus on the positives that are happening in the world. 00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:49.480 It doesn't get difficult, but that being said, I really do enjoy it. 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:57.800 I mean, as a kid, I've always been online. This is kind of where I've thrived and kind of where I've learned and I've almost grown up funnily enough. 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:03.520 So it's fun. And I don't know. I just feel like it's natural. I've always been in tune with what's going on online. 00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:09.840 And I'm getting older. I'm willing to admit it. I'm 25 now. 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:16.560 So I'm not just on the edge of Gen Z. I feel like for a lot of other parts of my life, 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:22.720 I'm a little bit more millennial. But I try and do my best, try and keep up with what's going on. 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:28.720 Follow other pages and follow other creators that are younger than me and see what they're up to. 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.200 I mean, kind of learn and figure out why they're interacting in that way. 00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:43.920 That's kind of how I do it. OK, so let's step away from LMG for a second and go into some things you've dabbled in in the past. 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.040 So in the last year and a half, I've gotten to know you a little bit. 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.840 And I know you do some other things like you make music. 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.800 Yeah, that's true. You make music, you make YouTube videos on your own channel. 00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:05.920 You also run a cooking TikTok. Is there anything else? Because I feel like to me, that's like a lot. 00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:11.600 Yeah, so I mean, OK, look, it sounds like a lot and it is a lot, right? 00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:16.240 But that being said, I don't really focus on all of them at once. 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.800 I'll have a couple of months where I'm really focused on making music, for example. 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.080 I'll have a couple of months where I'm really focused on making TikToks, cooking and food related. 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.160 And I'll have a couple of months where I'm working on a YouTube channel. 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.880 So I feel like my attention is kind of split in that sense. I'm always thinking about these things. 00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:39.840 But I don't really fully put myself into all of these things at once. 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.200 It's just whenever the inspiration or the motivation comes that I kind of go out and do that. 00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:49.760 What would you say is your absolute favorite, I guess, side hustle? 00:06:49.760 --> 00:06:57.360 Oh, gosh, my absolute favorite. That's very tough, because I mean, I love content creation and I've done it my whole life, 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.960 like I've mentioned again. So I want I'd like to say that. 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.440 But now that it's basically my whole life, you know, I'm doing it here. 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.360 I'm doing it on the side, doing my own thing. I'm not going to lie, I do get burnt out sometimes. 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:16.480 So I would say right now, the thing that I'm really, really passionate about is actually music. 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.960 I feel like it's just a way to decompress and, you know, get my mind thinking creatively and 00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:24.720 something that's completely different from content. You don't have to worry about the algorithm. 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.560 You don't have to worry about engagement or analytics or anything like that. 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.880 You're kind of just worried on making something that resonates with you, and hopefully other people can resonate with. 00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:35.920 Also, when did you first start making music? How did you get into that? 00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:41.600 So I started getting I started getting into music when I was like 11 or 12. 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.960 I downloaded a program called Mixcraft. I'm not sure if any of you guys have used that in the past. 00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:50.960 It's very similar to like GarageBand, and I just played around with it, 00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:55.600 and I thought it'd be really cool. And around that time, I also started getting into electronic music. 00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:01.600 So Dubstep was kind of like my first love, you know, Skrillex, Mount Eden, 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.200 people like that who were popular during that time just kind of inspired me. 00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:10.960 I was like, maybe I can try and do that. So, you know, I started dabbling in more production, 00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:13.680 downloaded LFL Studio as well, totally legal. 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:21.280 And yeah, I don't know. I just learned how to do stuff over time. I started getting more into EDM. 00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:24.880 So I started, you know, branching out into genres like house and stuff. 00:08:24.880 --> 00:08:30.560 You know, I started following way more DJs, way more producers around like the golden era of EDM, 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.240 some would call it like 2012, 2013, 2014, around that time. 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:40.160 And then I kind of eased off of it. I never really, you know, did anything that got too many listeners or anything at that time. 00:08:40.160 --> 00:08:46.880 I was just a kid playing around with stuff. But I started to take it a little bit more seriously when I went into university, 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.240 met a lot of great people who I connected with, I learned with, and I collaborated with, 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.440 and started making music that actually started getting some listens, 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.960 which is crazy to me because I listen to some of my music sometimes. 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.880 I'm like, I could do this way better. There's way better music out there. 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:06.880 Like, I don't know why people are listening to me. But yeah, that's kind of how I got my start in music. 00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:10.000 Okay, let's talk about your YouTube channel now. 00:09:10.400 --> 00:09:13.680 I know you make content about rollercoasters, right? 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:21.200 At least I'm trying to. So I started up a YouTube channel about theme parks. 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.560 Mainly, you know, I've always had a dream of visiting as many theme parks, 00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:31.760 music parks as I possibly could. Rollercoaster Tycoon was a huge influence on my life and a huge influence to, 00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:36.960 you know, who I am today. You know, it kind of got me into gaming, even got me into computers. 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.760 Because, I mean, as a five-six-year-old kid, that was the way that I used computers. 00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:46.080 I would hop on rollercoaster tycoon and just build rollercoasters and stuff like that. 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:51.680 So it's always been a huge part of my life. So I've always wanted to visit all of these parks that, 00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:56.400 you know, I've seen throughout the years when I was a kid, and, you know, I couldn't travel anywhere. 00:09:56.400 --> 00:09:59.600 So yeah, I'm just making a channel about traveling to different theme parks, 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:05.680 riding different rollercoasters, and kind of living out my dream. What's your favorite theme park so far? 00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:09.200 Islands of Adventure is a very, very good theme park. 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.440 I haven't been in years now, but to me it's like the perfect blend of theming, 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.400 perfect blend of thrill rides. You know, you got like really high tier rollercoasters. 00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:22.240 I haven't ridden it yet, but there's a new rollercoaster called the Velocicoster, 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.040 based on the Jurassic World series. 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.000 It's literally one of the best rollercoasters in the world. 00:10:28.640 --> 00:10:31.680 And they theme it in a way that, you know, makes you feel immersed, 00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:34.320 at least, you know, what I've seen from videos and stuff like that. 00:10:34.880 --> 00:10:41.280 Which you don't get from a lot of those high tier rollercoasters, where they kind of just plop something down in like an open piece of land, 00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:44.320 and, you know, they build the biggest, baddest rollercoaster, whatever. 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.720 This one kind of like interacts with like the paths. It interacts with different rides. 00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:53.040 And yeah, they just put a ton of detail. I know it was very expensive too, so. 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.760 Awesome. Where is this for those who don't know? Yeah, this is in Orlando, Florida. 00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:03.120 Oh, awesome. I'm looking to visit again soon, because they're also opening up a new theme park called Epic Universe, 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.840 and I'm really, really excited about that. Okay, and lastly, let's talk a little bit about, I guess, cooking. 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.120 Yeah, I know you're a pretty decent cook. 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:20.000 I'm okay. Like, I'm not a chef. I'm not even like, I wouldn't even consider myself like a very, very strong cook. 00:11:20.640 --> 00:11:26.800 But I can cook some things decently, I guess. The reason why I got into cooking during the pandemic, 00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:31.520 I mean, I feel like everybody was kind of picking up different hobbies around that time. 00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:36.960 Cooking just so happened to be the one that I did. And I started just documenting it on, like, TikTok and stuff, 00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:41.600 you know, me basically trying out different dishes, and, you know, learning along the way, you know. 00:11:42.640 --> 00:11:46.560 Again, I wouldn't say I'm a good, a really, really strong cook by any means, 00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:52.240 but yeah, I know I enjoy it. Oh, that's pretty cool. I mean, even if you're not making content about cooking, 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:58.000 is it still something you get to do often? I mean, I'm not going to lie. It's something that I probably don't spend as much time as I'd like. 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.640 But recently, I've been spending a little bit more time on it, just trying to get back into things. 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.920 Again, like, going back to me, you know, being full into different things that 00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:12.400 for a couple months or like, I guess cooking was like, you know, a couple years or whatever. 00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:17.680 It kind of faded away, and I'm trying to rekindle that passion that I got for that, yeah. 00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:21.280 What's your favorite cuisine? Favorite cuisine, that's a tough one. 00:12:21.280 --> 00:12:25.520 Probably Japanese food. I mean, growing and living in here in Vancouver, 00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:30.320 we have some excellent Japanese food here. A lot of innovation here actually happens. 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.840 California roll, ever heard of it? Apparently it was made here. 00:12:34.400 --> 00:12:38.880 I can't verify that with 100% authenticity, but apparently it was. 00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:42.000 Okay, so now let's pivot back to LMG now. 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.920 What is the favorite meme you've ever made here at LMG? 00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:53.520 Oh gosh, there's so many, there's so many. Probably during the hackening, I kind of just went buck wild with the memes during that time. 00:12:54.400 --> 00:12:57.600 Let loose and, you know, I thought they were pretty funny. 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.680 My favorite one is probably that RuneScape one, where, you know, 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:11.680 can we just pop it up on the screen? Yeah, pop it up on the screen. I don't want to describe it, but yeah, it's like how we lost the channel, 00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:15.040 and somebody doing like one of those classic RuneScape scams, it's just like, 00:13:17.520 --> 00:13:22.480 if you say your password backwards, it'll censor it, and then Linus says, I don't know. 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.400 Yeah, that's the Tech Tips 123. Exactly, yeah, that's the one. 00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:32.000 But I really like that one because a couple of my favorite content creators settled. 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.280 If you guys are into old-school RuneScape or RuneScape in general, 00:13:35.280 --> 00:13:39.520 you probably know him as a Swamp Man. He even retweeted it and interacted with it. 00:13:39.520 --> 00:13:44.560 It was really, really cool. Ludwig like showed it off on his mogul mail, and you know, I thought that was like, 00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:48.080 to me, I was really proud of that meme, and just in that moment seeing, 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.880 you know, these huge content creators that I look up to, you know, react positively to it. 00:13:52.880 --> 00:13:57.440 Speaking of which, how does it feel to obviously work and get a company like this? 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:05.200 You get the opportunity to interact with other big creators online, to some degree at least. 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:10.160 Yeah. How does that feel? Like, is that something you'd ever imagined was possible? 00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:17.680 Oh gosh, yeah, no, it's surreal to me. Before all this, like, you know, I always viewed like these huge content creators as celebrities, 00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:23.280 and then rightfully so, a lot of them are, right? Even Linus, who's in the next room over right now. 00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:28.800 But then you start to get to know and just talk to big content creators, 00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:31.360 and you start to realize that, you know, they're just people like us, right? 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:38.320 So to me, it's surreal, but also it makes me feel grounded in a sense that, 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:44.720 you know, these big content creators, they're just any ordinary person that has a huge following 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:49.440 online and loves to create content. So it is cool, it is cool for sure. 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.320 What is your most memorable Linus moment? 00:14:53.280 --> 00:14:58.400 It's a good one. I'd probably have to say, when I first started, and during that time, 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.360 I got to work with Linus very closely to develop three YouTube shorts a week, 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.360 which is absolutely insane, but with his help, you got me through it. 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.560 I got to learn a lot about how, kind of, he viewed content, 00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:14.000 how to flow one thing into another, and just create something that really, 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:19.040 like, engage with people. Those YouTube shorts, they started off pretty slow, but over time, 00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:22.160 got a lot of views, and I started to realize, wow, like, 00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:25.920 learning from this guy is nothing I would ever think I would be able to do. 00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:31.360 And that grind, just getting through all these YouTube shorts, it was, it was pretty memorable for me, I don't know. 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.960 And I guess on that note, when it comes to Linus, 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:39.120 what surprised you the most about him? Oh gosh, this guy's so busy. 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:44.640 How does he get anything done? I don't know. Like, it's actually wild. 00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:48.240 Like, I know he spoke about it on the WAN Show recently, 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.320 but a guy gets, like, what, like, three hours of sleep at night, or something like that. 00:15:52.880 --> 00:15:59.120 Yeah, um, you know, he's always on. You know, if you show up in his office, he'll always respond to you, 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.200 he'll always make time for you. I just, yeah, I don't know how he does it. 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.440 It's crazy. I think I could agree with that, like, no matter who messages him 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.880 from the company, even though we have, what, like, 100 plus employees now. 00:16:12.880 --> 00:16:17.520 It's getting crazy. He'll still, you know, obviously, it might be a bit later in the day, 00:16:17.520 --> 00:16:21.520 because he's busy with shoots or whatever, but eventually he'll still respond to you 00:16:21.520 --> 00:16:24.800 and help you out with whatever you're, whatever you're looking for, which is pretty cool. 00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:30.960 Yeah, absolutely. Okay, cool. I'm going to now semi-rapid fire some questions your way. 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.440 Okay, let's do it. Let's do it. One thing you wish to learn more about during your time here? 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:41.520 How to make some really, really good shorts. I think I've gotten a lot better over the time that I've been here, 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.920 and you guys can watch some of the early 2022 shorts to now. 00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:50.080 I feel like we've gone there a little bit, but I still think there's a lot more to learn, 00:16:50.640 --> 00:16:54.560 and there's a lot of creators I look up to, and I hope to go get to their level. 00:16:54.560 --> 00:16:57.760 Who's the funniest host at LMG? Oh, gosh, it's got to be Riley. 00:16:57.760 --> 00:17:02.560 He's just, he's just natural at it. Oh, you know what? Adam's low-key really, really good too. 00:17:02.560 --> 00:17:06.320 This guy, I mean, he does improv, so he's just really, really fast with, like, 00:17:06.320 --> 00:17:10.240 the star key remarks or whatever. But Adam and Riley, those guys are really, really funny. 00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:13.920 Who's most likely to swear during shoots? Jake, for sure. 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.680 Jake Tyvey. There's been so many times where we've had to edit, like, 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.720 Flo Plain Extras or anything like that, and we'd have to bleep, like, every other word. 00:17:23.840 --> 00:17:25.920 It's crazy. I can attest to that. 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:32.240 I still love him, though. Still love him. What's your favorite work trip you've ever been on, and why? 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:41.280 Probably the first time I went to VidCon. This was back June 2022, and it was my first time, like, really being in an environment 00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:47.520 with just creators everywhere. Watching people, like, prank versus prank, go to VidCon and stuff like that, Roman Atwood, 00:17:47.520 --> 00:17:52.240 guys like that. And just, you know, as a kid, being like, I want to be there. 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.720 I want to be there so bad. It looks so fun. And getting the opportunity to actually go there. 00:17:57.520 --> 00:18:00.960 It was a lot of fun, but I think the main thing is I learned a ton. 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:07.360 What is your proudest moment at LMG? I feel like my proudest moment, and I say this because it's probably the most 00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:11.840 difficult thing for me to kind of learn and get to the point is, 00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:16.560 probably just, you know, having a team that it seems like everybody, 00:18:16.560 --> 00:18:19.600 you know, we're all, we're all chill with each other. We're all friends type of thing. 00:18:21.040 --> 00:18:24.320 And, you know, we put in some really hard work, good work. 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:31.120 And there's like a nice balance there. You know, that's what I'm most proud of. And, you know, I hope that origin behind the camera, you know, 00:18:32.320 --> 00:18:35.280 you've had a great time on this team and stuff like that. Absolutely. 00:18:35.840 --> 00:18:40.400 Hopefully you've learned a lot and you're able to, you know, take that on, 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.800 you know, with whatever you do, like within this space. 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.640 And likewise with other guys on our team, I know you guys don't see them often. 00:18:47.280 --> 00:18:52.800 Steven Chu, he's our community coordinator. He's usually the person that's responding to you on Twitter, Reddit. 00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:56.080 He's LMG community, if you guys ever see that around. 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.560 And also Sammy, Sammy Yu, who's the newest addition to our team. 00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:04.560 He used to be an editor here, but switched over to the social media team. 00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:09.040 And he's been doing some really, really good work. Some of the more recent flow playing exclusives. 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:13.680 A lot of those ideas and a lot of the camera work and editing is all him. 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:18.000 And that's why you've seen like a nice increase in quality more recently. 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.520 So, yeah, I mean, this team is probably what I'm most proud of. 00:19:21.520 --> 00:19:26.640 I've been here for a year and a half now. And I think like for a year of that, you're our manager. 00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:31.440 But honestly, even before you had the title of manager, and it was just you and me, 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.040 you pretty much led everything. You taught me everything. You brought me up to scratch. 00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:43.600 And he's being a great leader. And I'm sure our entire team can attest to that. 00:19:43.600 --> 00:19:47.360 What's the most valuable piece of advice someone's ever given you? It's very simple. 00:19:47.360 --> 00:19:50.960 I feel like the most valuable piece of advice I've ever gotten is just, 00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:56.160 you know, don't be too hard on yourself. You know, obviously you want to put in great work and you want to, 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.920 you know, get results and stuff. I mean, you only have one life. You got to live it. 00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:04.080 You can't just be solely focused on work or, you know, anything like that. 00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:10.080 And there's more to life than just, you know, views or engagement or anything like that. 00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:18.800 And something that I try to carry on even today. But obviously it's hard to not focus on all that and stuff. 00:20:18.800 --> 00:20:21.600 What is your favorite game? I have a couple. 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.360 I mean, I already mentioned roller coaster tycoon goaded series. 00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:32.640 Literally, I can't believe like you could play it today and still be like, wow, 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:34.720 this is like still fresh. It's still good. 00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:40.160 And I feel like it was a big opportunity for me to be creative as a kid. 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.120 You know, just building amazing parks and theme parks. Super, super fun game. 00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:48.640 But also RuneScape. RuneScape was a huge influence on my life. 00:20:50.560 --> 00:20:55.120 That's where I grew up, you know, in the streets of Lumbridge, streets of Verrock, man. 00:20:55.120 --> 00:20:59.680 Like, oh my goodness, lots of good memories on that game. 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.720 And probably the game I have the most play time ever. 00:21:03.520 --> 00:21:08.800 Oh, damn. Okay. Wow. Crazy. Yeah. I thought you would have mentioned Sims 6 some way there. 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:16.240 Okay. Civilization, amazing series. And more recently, it's probably one of my favorite games. 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:20.560 But before talking all time, I got a shout out roller coaster tycoon RuneScape. 00:21:20.560 --> 00:21:25.280 Sam, still awesome, still awesome. And I could sink so many hours into that game. 00:21:25.280 --> 00:21:30.080 What do you think is one thing that's very unique about working at LMG? 00:21:30.080 --> 00:21:33.360 I feel like the people here, you know, you hear it a lot. 00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:36.400 And I know other people and our other meet the teams have mentioned it. 00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:44.080 But the people here are genuinely great. Like, you know, there's nobody that's really very difficult to work with or anything like that. 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.840 Everybody is generally very friendly. We're all very busy. 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.600 But, you know, if you need to talk to somebody, they'll give you their time. 00:21:55.520 --> 00:21:59.440 And yeah, everybody's just fun to be around. Like even outside of work hours or stuff. 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.240 I'm always happy to hang out with people because it's just like, I know I'm going to have a good time. 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.560 What's something you'd like to see at LMG in the coming years? 00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:13.200 I mean, since we have a pretty tight production schedule, you know, release videos pretty frequently. 00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:17.200 I'd like to see some projects where, you know, our writers spend a little bit more time. 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.280 So instead of just having a week or two to finish a video, 00:22:21.280 --> 00:22:26.400 maybe they could have a month, maybe they could have two months. I think we have some really creative people here 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.840 and they would be able to come up with some really, really fun, exciting ideas. 00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:33.920 And to wrap things up, what's one piece of advice that you'd give to 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:39.680 other creatives or social media people? You definitely got to be passionate about the things that you're doing. 00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:41.440 You can't just go into content creation, 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.960 you know, for the sake of money, for the sake of clout, for the sake of views, anything like that. 00:22:47.760 --> 00:22:50.400 You'll find something that you're genuinely passionate about 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.760 and go and create content about it. Find out what makes you curious about that subject 00:22:55.760 --> 00:23:00.320 and try and share that curiosity with other people. I think that's really the big thing. 00:23:00.320 --> 00:23:07.360 And the more I've grown up, I've tried so many other different types of content creation in the past as well. 00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:12.720 The things that have always stuck with me is always the stuff that I've been truly passionate about. 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:16.320 So that's probably it. Awesome. Cool. Thanks, Addy. 00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:20.000 Yeah, for sure. By the way, the origin behind the camera here, 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:25.280 this is probably the last flow plane exclusive that he's going to be filming. 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.920 So I just want to say it's been a pleasure working for you over the past year and a half. 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.280 And I'm going to miss the times that we've had 00:23:33.280 --> 00:23:35.840 and I feel like we've grown a lot together here. 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:41.840 So yeah, I just want to give a shout out to him. Again, a lot of the content that you guys have been watching 00:23:41.840 --> 00:23:46.080 over the past year and a half has been produced by Origin as well as me. 00:23:46.080 --> 00:23:49.760 So I'm going to miss them. 00:23:49.760 --> 00:23:54.240 I know some of you guys are going to miss them too. Thank you. That means so much. 00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:58.320 And thank you for being a great manager and a friend at work. 00:23:58.320 --> 00:23:59.440 It means a lot.
