Expect to learn what I'd tell my 18 year old self, whether I'm afraid I'll ever run out of content, if I can keep up the pace of 3 episodes a week, if I just bring on people who confirm my worldview, how I try to keep my private life private, whether I know how to max out growth during puberty and much more...
