It's a wrap! Season 1 of our A-Team Mini Series has come to an end. In this episode, we share some behind the behind the scenes along with Cory (our video producer). This was filmed back in May 2023 and so much has evolved since we filmed this already. When we filmed this, we were just starting out on KZfaq, had no idea what our channel would turn into. At this stage, we hadn't pitched any sponsors so far, but knew there was a way we could partner with software companies and share some of our Top Picks with viewers of the podcast. Listen in to our conversation around our hopes for this channel, what we don't want it to turn into and some of our motivations for creating the mini-series in the first place!
P.S. Leave us a comment if you want us to record an updated behind the scenes with our learnings from securing sponsors, editing, posting, and figuring out our business model around this channel!
