    My First Thousand #11 - Gingy


    In today's episode, we’re joined by Gingy, a reviewer, essayist and game journalist who has been making content for almost half a decade - starting when he was just 16. We take a deep dive into his career on YouTube and how he’s achieved successful growth. We discuss work ethic, discipline, sunk cost fallacy and how perfectionism can be the enemy of progress when creating.
