What happens when a lifelong content creator starts to hate content? Jim Caddick, known online as “Caddicarus,” takes a brutally honest look at burnout, authenticity, and creativity in the digital age. His talk explores how chasing views can kill passion - and how rediscovering joy can bring it back.
