Summary
Today we are joined by TikTok star Rod Thill. Creating videos and rising to popularity during the pandemic, Rod creates videos that focus on work-from-home culture and anxiety, specifically with millennials. From popularizing the term "Cheugy", dipping into 90's nostalgia, breaking down anxieties from the workplace, and catching up on Sex in the City, Rod is unapologetically himself. In this interview we break down toxicity in the workplace, toxic masculinity, hanging out with the Bachelor crowd, and more!
"If I'm working hard to make videos for 10 people, or working hard to make videos for millions, it's worth it."
