Ozioma “Ozi” Orjioke has been building computers from scratch since he was 13 years old. Now, with a quarter of a million subscribers on YouTube and a computing degree behind him, he’s taking the next year to pursue content creation as a full-time gig. But, it took a lot to get here—as it always does—and we’re here to unpack it all.

In today’s episode, hear from Ozi and Chloe as they discuss vulnerability in creative pursuits, reckoning with offline and online identities, finding the courage to withstand judgement, facing and surviving burnout, and more. Ozi shares pieces of his mental health journey as a YouTube creator, including a recognition of when hustle is (and isn’t) needed to achieve long term success. Ozi shares his #1 trick to staying grounded as a digital creator, and some tips and tricks to growing a Youtube channel he’s picked up over the years. Ozi leads with a deep sense of purpose guiding his every decision, and we know you’ll walk away feeling like you can take on the world.
