Jacques Slade has done it all...hosting events alongside A-list celebrities, helping Nike and Kobe Bryant launch new sneakers, covering golf for the PGA tour, working with NBC on the Olympics, unboxing the most insane sneaker packages the world has ever seen, and he's done all that and more while continuing to be one of the most respected and appreciated creators amongst his peers. After over a decade of creating videos, working both on camera and behind throughout his journey, I had to ask him if it was too late to get started as an aspiring YouTuber.WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBEConnect with Tamara: IG: https://www.instagram.com/kustoo/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kustooPlease like, subscribe, review, and share this episode if you enjoyed it.
