Taryn Delanie Smith and Kay Poyer on imposter syndrome and life beyond content creation

For people whose careers depend on sharing their lives online, creators don't always get many opportunities to talk honestly with one another in front of a camera. That's the premise of Creator to Creator, Mashable's new video series that brings internet personalities together for candid conversations about the realities of building a life and career online. To kick things off, we paired two creators featured in this year's Mashable 101 list: Taryn Delanie Smith, a comedian and storyteller, and Kay Poyer, writer and commentator. The conversation began with change. Smith recently traded city life for a home in upstate New York with a small flock of chickens, while Poyer is adjusting to life in New York City after moving from her home state of Texas. Both found themselves reflecting on new chapters, balancing excitement with uncertainty.
