I've asked for this a couple of times before but i'll ask again (this'll be the last time, i don't want to irritate you). Please, please, please could you do a video on how you built your team, why you hired them and a little description of their job roles. Honestly, I'd really appreciate it. EDITED: You've inspired me tremendously with your vlogs. Thank you.

@@KarinBohn This may be an ignorant question, but how do you and your team make decisions when the core of your work has to do with aesthetics (which is rather subjective)? I love getting a glimpse of your design review meetings because I get to see how meetings are run in the creative field (vs the corporate world). But seeing that makes me wonder how someone can feel confident about what they present to you or a client when there isn't necessarily any "rules" to back them up (vs I can make reference to regulations / policies / frameworks / methodologies in what I do). It just seems that design (of any kind) is impossible to master.

I really needed to see this video, as I have been working on a project that has taken over 6 months and the client has just not made any major decisions despite the work we put in. And I partly questioned my abilities, and wanted to give up. but seeing that its okay to go back to the drawing board and trying to come up with many more solutions is such an encouragement and has encouraged me to do the same. Thank you thank you thank you. I hope to meet you someday. Continue to share your amazing content and for the encouragement and showing a lot of us that are in our entrepreneurial journeys the highs and lows and what it takes to stick it through. Have an awesome long weekend.

Thanks a lot for your advise... I am exactly at that moment where I feel exhausted but I know deep in myself that I will make it and that I just need to keep going. But also to get a better health routine as you cannot give your best when you are weak. In fact you should do a video on how you keep up with your health, self care, morning/evening routine. I think it is very important and sometimes we see it as secondary.

Hardwork is important, and I want to be successful at my career and know that Im doing a kickass job. But at the same time Im 26, and I cant keep grinding for 10-12 hour days at the office. I wanna be more than my job. I want a family and a life and my career is eating me alive. Im in a managerial track for a finance firm and I spend my day putting out fires. As a result when Im not at work, Im thinking about work. Im always on "edge", feeling as if my work cellphome is going to ring and I'll have a huge escalation I need to resolve. Should I just keep trudging forward? I want to work hard and be the last one standing like you said, but I want more in my life.
