Description

David "GrandPooBear" Hunt is one of Twitch's fastest-growing stars, but he is, by no means, new to the art of content creation. After a snowboarding accident left him severely injured in early 2013, GrandPooBear found a new way to compete: Speedrunning — the art of competing for the fastest completion time in a certain game. In his time as a speedrunner, Poo's broken multiple world records at some of speedrunning's biggest events.

In this episode, Poo and Jacob talk about how Poo found his competitive drive (09:05 ) and what it means to represent Red Bull, one of the most iconic brands in action sports, as someone who transitioned from snowboarding to speedrunning (21:50 ). Then the two discuss how the birth of Poo's son in 2019 has affected his outlook on his career and changed his point of view in content creation (41:34 ).

You can follow Poo on Twitter at @GrandPooBear.
