When I was looking for an affordable but high-quality camera to create Youtube as well as course videos, I kept getting recommended this mirrorless camera.

This on-camera microphone goes along really well with the Canon EOSM50 and if you've seen my Youtube videos, you know the sound is super good! It also comes with a windshield so if you're out filming you needn't worry too much about external noise. Perfect for traveling with as well due to its compact size!

FAVOURITE BOOKS
4-Hour Workweek
This is a book that I believe every digital entrepreneur should read just to un-learn everything we are taught about the traditional way of working. Massively inspiring with concrete tips that you can model your business around.
Dotcom Secrets
If you haven't heard of Russel Brunson, you should. His methods and marketing style although hugely debated, has some very effective strategies as well. I love how actionable this book was and even gave pictures and diagrams of how to map out your funnels and scale your business. A must-read for all product based businesses.
The One Thing
As a creative person, I'm always jumping on to the next idea before executing the first and this book was an excellent reminder of how NOT to get sucked into the shiny object syndrome. A must-read if you are a productivity nerd like me.
