I interviewed a YouTuber by the name of Phillipsvision. Phillip is an automotive tech YouTuber and he showcases to his fans about the car projects he does and also how to repair cars. I chose Phillip because he is one of the few YouTubers I watch and he is associated with the hobby I enjoy, which is Autotech and vehicle repair. I didn’t know Phillip and I wasn’t even sure if he would contact me, but through Instagram, I was able to talk to him and have a nice conversation too. During the interview, Phillip described his time working on cars as joyful, he really enjoys working on cars and doing personal projects as well. Talking with Phillip really gave me a reality check about the hobby. It needs much more money and time to spend on the hobby, let alone finding a spot to work on the cars. Phillip also told me his passion for cars can really come in hand as a life skill. overall, my interview with Phillip was good and I am willing to pressure my hobby in the future.
