Because John Green became a super-fan of fourth-tier English football. He employed FIFA and Belichick-level tactics to build a compassionate community on YouTube. He understood the difference between enough and more than enough. And he never forgot to be awesome.• Order "Everything Is Tuberculosis"https://everythingistb.com/• Subscribe to John Green's YouTube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/vlogbrothers• Subscribe to Henry Reider's YouTube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Tuberculosis-l1jSurvivorHenry Hosted on Acast.
