With a new decade looming on the horizon, SkyWire wanted to chat with her about what this past year has meant for her, lessons she's learned along the way, the impact SkySoft has had on its viewers, and what she is most excited about for the future. SkySoft has essentially been around for five years now. How has SkySoft changed and grown since 2014?  Actually, SkySoft was birthed in 2015. Before it was Hayden/Teague. It was a production company that I created with Brandon Teague and we had a much different plan for the company then.
