JOIN THE GUMPTION CLUB: patreon.com/thegumptionclub

Being in the club means you get:
• A free weekly podcast
• Access to a secret DISCORD and Facebook group
• Exclusive poetry and playlists made by me
• Secret videos and digital downloads available to Gumption Club members only
• AND you get access to all of my YouTube videos before anyone else sees them!

(Quick tip for Apple device users: due to Patreon's arrangement with Apple being weird, it's actually more expensive to sign up to become a Gumption Club member via the Patreon app on an Apple device. If you are on an Apple device I would advise joining via a web browser (just visit patreon.com/c/thegumptionclub/), not the app. However, once you’ve signed up and paid elsewhere, you can still use the app on Apple devices to access Patreon as normal - easy peasy!)

CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP - for those lovely people who don't want to use Patreon and aren't bothered about the patreon perks, but who'd like to buy me a drink as a thank you for the free videos... youtube.com/channel/UCpqf-UHCeCSd0BqoxxrDv8g/join

I use Octopus Energy which are a clean green sustainable energy company - if you're in the UK and are curious, here are the two videos I talk about them in:

And here's my referral link if you'd like to get £50 off (I get £50 off too, woo!) https://share.octopus.energy/fun-hawk-883

All music used is licensed through Epidemic Sound - I've been using them for years and hand-on-heart it's really fab. You get unlimited use of their music per month for a pretty bargain fee. Here's my referral link (if you sign up through it I get a free month): epidemicsound.com/referral/1b1yhj

If you're a company that makes plastic-free products, pays their tax and doesn't exploit people, I'd love to hear from you if you'd like to sponsor the channel: leenanorms@gmail.com
