๐ŸŽง Join me for a bonus mini-episode where I chat with Leo, who went viral at the age of 13 after posting a video on Tumblr, a popular social media platform at the end of the 2000s.

Although it was short, I thought you'd enjoy hearing his firsthand account of going viral and the real life impact that followed. I hope you enjoy our conversation about the power of starting over... you won't want to miss the end of this! ๐Ÿคฃ
