Brian Brushwood is best known for his YouTube shows Scam School and The Modern Rogue, but it all started with a dream to get his own TV show. In this interview, Brian outlines the steps he took to eventually land his own cable series (NatGeo's 'Hacking The System'), and how, when the dream went away, he leveraged his experience to self-start a fresh YouTube brand, web store, and blog that Brian controls himself, no cable network required. He also shares his unified theory of being an independent creator and how you can start from nothing and get to something. It's a magical discussion.

Aviva Made Cannabis Car (And A Difference)
I Made This
12/04/19 • 54 min
Aviva is just oozing with life and passion, and she writes great songs. She's also an activist. Aviva’s song “Cannabis Car” is part protest song, part groovy jam, that teaches the listener about the history of hemp in our country, and all the ways it can help the environment today. She didn’t stop at writing a song, though. She’s become a familiar face to Georgia legislatures, where she’s spent countless hours arguing for legal hemp. Plus, she was kind enough to play some songs while jumping on her trampoline!
