@chloeshih lived two lives: by day she was a PM at Discord, by night she was a YouTuber. Then Discord laid her off.

She made videos about it and went viral - getting over 25M views and coverage in the Wall Street Journal. Today she shares what that was like - and her journey going from tech worker to empowered creative.
