Tim Rodie

In this episode of Bru Time, Bruce sits down with journalist and YouTuber Tim Rodie for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about creativity, authenticity, and life online.

Tim shares his journey from traditional journalism into automotive media and YouTube, the realities of content creation, burnout, family balance, and why chasing algorithms and numbers rarely leads to fulfilment. Along the way, they talk motorcycles, cars, war history, and the importance of simply being yourself.

A thoughtful, relaxed chat about choosing your own path and staying grounded in a noisy online world.
