That Creative Life
That Creative Life is a podcast hosted by one of my favorite YouTubers, Sara Dietschy. Sara enjoys the creative process and wanted to find a way to be able to share it with the World and discover how others take part in the creative process.
This podcast also dives into topics like personal branding/marketing, technology, self-improvement, and business. Sara is fun to listen to and brings a casual approach to her interviews. Her guests are given the attention they deserve, and she is genuinely interested to learn more about them.

Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast
Technology influences the way we live as well as who we become in today’s society. The benefits are plenty but there are always road-bumps.

Marques’ YouTube channel is more focused on mobile technology, but he shares his thoughts on the industry as a whole on Waveform. Marques will also interview big names like Bill Gates and Elon Musk as well as other content creators focused on the technology products.
The “Waveform” podcast aims to expand upon MKBHD’s channel by discussing all topics in technology in long-form conversations with guests.
