Wednesday
9 AM: Like so many other teams at YouTube, the Gaming team is focused on making 2023 as awesome as possible for YouTube’s Viewers and Creators. I’ve just left a meeting with a large number of YouTubers from all over the world to discuss a very specific program we’re launching in early 2023 that’ll make the lives of smaller Creators much, much easier!
12 PM: Today I was able to participate in a g2g (Googlers to Googlers) discussion. This is one of my absolute favorite things about this company. These meetings are when people who have worked at YouTube / Google for long periods of time meet with newer members of the team to chat about anything they might be wondering about, interested in or afraid to ask during their first few months at the company. I love being able to meet and interact with new team members who I might otherwise never run into.
3:30 PM: Mags and I had an amazing meeting with the Xbox team this afternoon to discuss Mojang Studios / Minecraft's contribution to the DrLupo moment that will help us make this donation moment even bigger. We’re discussing big surprises that I won’t spoil here!
Today’s highlight: I snuck away from my desk for a few minutes with the Gaming Marketing team to visit our micro kitchen which does Boba Tea on Wednesdays. After doing hard work, everyone deserves a treat, right?
