    Ali Abdaal’s video on why he hired 12 employees was incredibly insightful for aspiring content creators. It shows how having a dedicated team allows for better focus on quality content and scalability for growth. As a content creator, this video emphasizes the importance of considering hiring employees to delegate tasks and improve overall productivity.

This reminds me of when I used to work at a start up company(10 year old start up lol) which my role was in Alison, then I got divided into a few pieces of doing many other things at the same time, then eventually it causes me to have a mental break down lol. It is so awesome and therapeutic to see that you got an diverse team members and doing the things they love and proud of you! Keep it up you all! You will do amazing! Congrats on getting the 5M audience! Whoot Whoot!

    It's cool to see each role in your team to have autonomy/ownership to bring contents to life across many platforms.
    I'm wondering if your team / Angus uses certain production methodology in the content creation process? E.g. Scrum, daily standup, weekly sync, dependencies/impediments resolve, etc.
