This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast, we’re Joined by Graham Stephan. Graham is a real estate agent turned YouTube creator who has amassed over 3 million subscribers across 3 YouTube channels. He’s been covered by CNBC, Bloomberg and a bunch of other outlets as the “Millionaire YouTuber” he’s very transparent about the money he generates through his YouTube Channels, which in 2020 was over $2M just from YouTube Adsense alone… and overall, well you’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out how much he made in total, but it truly is jaw dropping. Graham makes videos about personal finance, investing, stocks, and credit cards all with the goal of helping his audience become more financially literate. We talk about how he got into YouTube, and how he thinks about his channel, the strategies that have helped him get to over $2M in revenue from YouTube.

This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we’re joined by Joe Albanese - Joe is the founder and CEO of Stir, a company that’s building tools & software that help creators run their businesses. Joe and his team have been making quite a few headlines this year to name a few - they’ve raised $4M dollars in funding for this project from firms like Ludlow ventures and creators like Casey Neistat, Joe was recently named to Forbes 30 under 30 list, and they’ve been trending multiple times for releasing a number of one-off “drops” such as Presubscribe.me which helps creators understand how many people who pay for their content, or OnlyTweets which creates a paywall protected twitter account for creators. On this episode we talk to Joe about his journey into the creator world, how we went from the founding team at YikYak to the product team at Facebook and then eventually why he took the jump to leave his stable job and pursue building Stir.

Watch the video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/kzBU9gEHx_M Check out our Online Storytelling Course: https://moment.8ocm68.net/keM6z Eric Decker aka Airrack started uploading to YouTube in January 2020. He started this year with 50 YouTube subscribers and today he has over 500,000. He’s had explosive growth this year and his mission is to get to 1M youtube subscribers - in order to get there he’s had to do some pretty crazy things including taking out a $17,000 loan to pay for one video. He’s one of the most committed creators we’ve come across and we definitely feel like he has what it takes to get to 1M subs and probably even further than that - and once you hear this episode I think you’ll agree with us on that as well. If you aren’t familiar with his videos, just type in Airrack on YouTube, I’d recommend that you watch his Couch series, that’ll give you a pretty good understanding of who he is.
