...Paul was up to now! Running with nearly a decade of content creation and growth, King Paul has gained a number of supporters, recognition, opportunity and so much more!
Do you still find yourself feeling overwhelmed as a creative and content creator? Do you still feel as though your account is not truly yours, or as if "people follow me for videos so I can't just, do whatever..."?
I definitely get overwhelmed about my social media presence to this day.

Have you been opportune to have a Meet & Greet or any type of social event with your followers as you wanted to in 2016?
I haven’t really hosted a straight up meet and greet. I’ve done things [like] little pop-up shops and have made appearances at certain events where I let my followers know that they could meet me there.
