TGI 10: Twitch Tuesday with Lt Eddy on Transitioning from Assistant Editor to Full-Time YouTuber and Streamer

Lt Eddy has been a professional YouTuber and Twitch streamer for over three years now, who is known for his Overwatch episodes and Hearthstone streaming. He started his career as an assistant editor before eventually jumping ship to pursue YouTube video production full time, leveraging his editing and marketing skills that he had gained from college and on-the-job training. He has developed a knack for noticing content that resonates with his audience. His videos are so entertaining that they rarely go 10 seconds without having something interesting or visually appealing on the screen. Lt Eddy has grown his YouTube audience to nearly 400k subscribers, and his Twitch audience to over 120k. He has excellent advice on how to think about networking as a creative, how to systematize your production, and how to monetize so that you can fund your passions.
