    Wow! It's amazing to see how your UA-cam channel has grown to the point where you now have 12 employees! Your dedication and hard work have truly paid off, and it's inspiring to see how you're creating job opportunities for others through your content. Your success is a testament to your creativity, talent, and commitment to your audience. Keep up the great work, and we can't wait to see what you'll achieve next!

    This is awesome, hands down my personal favorite video on UA-cam to date! It's really interesting to see the contrast from running a very lean channel on UA-cam vs how fun and sustainably scalable this looks. Thanks for putting this together, looking at your accelerator program now 👍

    Oh my goodness, I love this episode so so much, thanks for sharing team! 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!

    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.

    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.
