    YouTuber, Writer, and Comedian Amanda Gordon tells us how being laid off from her first corporate job was both a relief and the push she needed to become a full-time creator. Will she go back to corporate life? TBD. For now, she’s focused on launching The Sims “Not Creative” mini-series and promoting her award-winning short film “Let Her Eat Cake.”
