Halfstack Highlights Ep. 27: Interview With Mr. Kate

In today’s episode of Halfstack Highlights, I had the opportunity to interview Youtube lifestyle sensation – Kate Albrecht of the wildly successful channel and brand Mr. Kate. Kate has one of those personalities that breathes sincerity, but has a DGAF kind of attitude. Her humor keeps her channel grounded while her personality keeps her viewers coming back for more. What I think is most refreshing about her channel is that she keeps it real.
