It’s a mix of personal and professional use. You’re right for project management your company may have to do more due diligence or settle for something less cutting edge, I see that often.

Hey Brian. Been watching your vids since you started and it seems like your contents are getting repetitive though there are some new little things added here and there. I suggest that you do some changes on the following: 1. Thumbnail. We always see your desktop thumbnail. 2. Content. Share the books you are currently reading. Finance monitoring. Your normal day during rest day/day off. Unboxing vids. Q&A (to be more connected with your subscribers). These are just some of the ideas I have in mind.
