How Did I End Up Like This?

I am out for a little overnight camping trip, and sitting by the tent got me reflecting on my rather unconventional career journey. From my early days doing a paper round and apprenticeships in engineering to spending ten years as a health and safety advisor, I share how saying yes to unexpected opportunities shaped my life. Ultimately, those detours led me to pursue YouTube full-time, reminding me that sometimes it is best to simply do what makes you happy instead of following a strict plan.
