On my last day in Seattle, I strolled across the campus of University of Washington, and oh wow was that a magical experience! Hear me geek out over the amazing architecture and dream-like walking paths, plus additional thoughts on the nearby shopping district of University Village.

Top vloggers who have reached the pinnacles of their career tell us not to obsess over views and relative performance over time and other metrics of “success” in their creative field. But that got me thinking: what SHOULD we obsess over? How do we know we’re crushing it as content creators? What should success look like?

If you’re pushing hard on all four points, good for you! You’re well on your way to becoming a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious creator. =)

I visited Bothell, WA — the place my mom wrote a piece of Celtic music for entitled “The Woods of Bothell” — as well as the way cool Gasworks Park in Seattle.
Listen to The Woods of Bothell:
