UPDATES
We just hit more than 25K subscribers on Joma in NYC! That’s awesome
The next video will probably be about why I moved to NYC
I just invested $10k more in ETH. I do think ETH has a place in our world and shouldn’t be investing just based on speculation but long-term value.
I just invested in a startup, I might disclose it in Joma tech one day, but it’s my first angel investment haha.

My $3,000 Apartment Tour in NYC
Come check out my new apartment! I’m starting to really dig NYC, and I love working from home, especially with my setup. I’m excited to start vlogging more on this channel. Hopefully, I’ll be uploading more than once a month, haha. I miss the feeling of starting a new channel and seeing it grow, so I’m quite excited.
day in the life of an engineer working from home
I’m sure you all saw this already since that’s probably how you learned about this newsletter! Thanks to you guys, the video is performing really well. I’m glad most of you enjoyed the video as much as I enjoyed making it.
WRITING
Youtube is the next TV
More and more, I realize YouTube is becoming what TV was back in the 1950s. I think there’s so much to learn from the history of TV if you want to predict what will happen to YouTube. If you’re a creator or like to think about media, I wrote an article about it. Read it here:
How to dominate on YouTube by learning from Traditional TV
YOUTUBE RECOMMENDATION
Using 3D printers to make a huge lightstick, I want to do that
This is my editor Matt Cho. I personally LOVE watching his videos. He likes to build stuff and loves kpop. So watch him build this huge lightstick from one of his favorite groups Oh My Girl.
TV SHOWS
Succession
The TV show is about a CEO/Founder of a huge media conglomerate who is becoming sicker and has to figure out who will succeed him as the new head of the company.
I just finished watching the first season, and holy shit, everything wraps up so nicely. Unlike other shows, you usually are invested in a few characters, some more than others. But this one, I don’t know how they do it, but every single character has a very compelling storyline, and they all relate to one another.
You can watch this show on HBO Max.
Call My Agent!
This is another show about media. Yes, I love shows about media; I’m obsessed with media, if you haven’t noticed already. This is a comedy show in french, and we look at the lives of these talent agents. It reminds me of Entourage, but this is light-hearted and less about the glamorous life of actors. I love their face-paced dialogues.
You can watch this show on Netflix.
Hey Joma, nice update! I watched Call My Agent! it's a great show. For the next newsletter, can you add where you can watch these shows? Thank you!
So you totally let go of this blog… anyways. I’m designing a stock Ai product I was wondering if you could be my technical cofounder…
