As a secondary school student in Hobart, there’s a lot of pressure to have the best of everything. I just turned sixteen and my parents bought me my first car so that I can learn to drive in it. I’m really excited that I’ve got a new car, but the issue is that it’s not …
I’ve just opened a lolly shop and I want to promote it. I’ve been doing some research, and I’ve figured out that the best way to promote a business is through video.

I still have radio interviews, podcasts and online articles to do, …
