The Creative Crucible Podcast

Daly City native Chris Chu goes into detail on what it took to become a full time freelance photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area and how he grew his channel to over 20k subscribers in 2 months. We talk about dropping out of college, growing your youtube channel, and networking for your brand. I met Chris on a Facebook group last year called Asian Creative Network. Since then, we have worked on 2 projects together and have been good friends ever since.
