We had the good fortune of connecting with London Woodbury-Thompson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi London, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
When new creators come into this industry, they tend to always think about the money and the instant gratification that eventually comes with it. Keyword: EVENTUALLY. If there’s one thing about this business, it’s about learning the business first ! If you let thoughts of gratification and income cloud your creative way of thinking, you will not have success in this business.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What I am most proud of is the fact that I am able to still pursue my vision regardless of any situation that I am in. How I got here today was because of pure perseverance and passion for what I do. But it definitely was not easy and I also know that it never will be. But what I also know is that I will always have a hunger for what I do and that’s what keeps me consistent. Through this journey, I could definitely say I’ve developed a myriad of skills including learning how to to edit and color grade videos and learning about the different functions of cameras and angles for good videomaking scenarios.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If you visit Philadelphia, you have to all of the museums that are here. That includes the art museum, the please touch museum, call me childish I don’t care, and the Rocky steps. Some great places to eat in Philadelphia are Asad’s Hot Chicken, City View Pizza, Taste, and Rock N Rolls. I’m really putting spot of yall on some real game.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I can’t give any specific shoutouts but to those I cherish and love, they know exactly who they are. Especially because I have a very small circle of friends. I do wanna thank my girlfriend, my mom and my dad as well for investing in my dreams and supporting me along the way through all my trials and tribulations. I do want to also thank all of the brands that I have worked with and all of the connections that I’ve made through content creation, that’s a true blessing. In addition, I do want to also give credit to the book that helped me to learn the business behind YouTube and how to read my analytics differently than I use to. The book is called “The YouTube Formula”. Last but not least, all of the accomplishments I have made to date are not Possible without my lord and savior Jesus Christ.
