2019-10-231h 24Digitally CreativeEpisode 18: All About Ant PruittWelcome to Episode 18!
It's not often we get to have a long time friend on the show, but Vincent and Ant have been friends forever; or at least it feels that way (in a good way).
In this episode we dive into Ant's history as a content creator, his amazing story of putting his nose to the grindstone and pushing for every break and then, finally, getting a big one. It's a great story and one that will absolutely get you off your butt so you can go out and create and dominate(tm).

After a week of constant failures, something good came out of it for Vincent, so Ethan and Vincent decided to talk about the good that can come out of experimentation and failure. Be not afraid of failure, my friends.
Enjoy the episode!!
