Ant McCormack, co-founder of Changer and one of the people building in the creator economy before the term even existed, joins The Upload to talk about what it actually takes to build a creator business that lasts. We get into his big theory that most creators, once they have an audience to protect, start operating from fear instead of the experimental mindset that got them there in the first place, and how the best creators build a framework to keep testing without betting the whole business. Ant explains why being a creator is an entrepreneurial pursuit even though most creators aren't entrepreneurs, where that gap comes from, and whose job it is to close it. He shares the mindset shift that tripled one creator's business, why you should hire to solve a problem instead of filling a title, and a reality check on all the capital flooding the space (including why some of it is just "an AdSense advance with better branding"). Plus, why creators risk becoming TV 2.0 if they're only packaged to attract ad dollars, and his "guinea pig protocol" for building a business no brand can replace.If you're a creator who wants to build something that outlasts your last upload, this one's packed.Ant's links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/antmccormackNewsletter: https://changerupdates.comWebsite: https://www.changerstudios.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/changerstudios

Daniel Braun narrowed personal finance down to credit cards, points and miles, and built a 247,000 subscriber channel on the back of it. In this episode he is unusually open about the numbers: $12,000 to $15,000 a month from AdSense, CPMs in the $45 to $50 range, two brand deals a month, and affiliate months that swing from below five figures to well into them. We also get into the fourth video that told him where his real audience was, the nine title and thumbnail changes it took to get one recent video working, and the technical script system he runs with a two person team. He closes with how his 37,000 subscriber newsletter became leverage for raising his brand deal rates. About Daniel: Daniel is a full time YouTuber and media business owner. He currently has over 245,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel and over 36,000 subscribers on his newsletter, Wiser Wallet. Across his platforms, he talks about credit cards, traveling for (nearly) free with points and miles, budgeting, and other personal finance topics.

I made six figures in a single quarter for the first time ever — $100K in three months — and I re-recorded the intro to this video about ten times because my brain still can't quite believe it. This is my full Q2 2026 income report: every revenue stream, every expense right down to the studio rent, and the three changes that drove a 35% jump in revenue. And because revenue isn't the whole story, we also get into the shrinking profit margin, the enrolment goal I massively undershot, and the ad experiment that only half worked.The biggest lever of all? My Claude operating system — the AI setup that's quietly become the jet fuel behind this milestone.Here's everything under the hood:✨ The full revenue breakdown — April, May + June (yes, it declined inside a record quarter)✨ Every expense category — team, Meta ads, coaching, software, studio — and my real 39% profit margin✨ What I actually paid myself, and why I never hide the profit-vs-revenue gap✨ YouTube + Instagram stats: why my views dropped but my watch time (and AdSense) climbed✨ The 4× ad-spend experiment — what scaled beautifully and what I switched off✨ How my Claude operating system let me post 70% more content while working LESSCurrency note: I'm based in New Zealand, so all figures are in NZD.

What would it look like if every AI app had a sustainable way to make money without dark patterns or paywalls? In this podcast hosted by iDonate VP of Product and Engineering Nacho Andrade, Koah Co-Founder and CPO Mike Choi will be speaking on how he's building the AdSense for the AI app network. Mike shares what he learned from 18 months of rapid consumer app building, why AI users behave completely differently than search users, and why sponsored experiences in AI might actually be a good thing for everyone.

Leadership is not a choice between empathy and accountability; it demands both. In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, Nick Hague speaks with Co-founder of Radical Candor and bestselling author Kim Scott about the principles behind her books Radical Candor and Radical Respect. Kim shares how leaders can build teams grounded in trust, honesty, and psychological safety. Kim explains why respect must come before candid feedback and how managers can distinguish between bias, prejudice, and bullying to respond appropriately. She shares practical strategies for soliciting honest feedback, conducting more effective one-on-ones in hybrid workplaces, and helping employees grow through meaningful career conversations.  The discussion also explores why high-performing individuals don't always become great managers and how leaders can create environments where people feel safe to challenge ideas and speak openly. What You Will Learn: The Radical Candor Framework Why Feedback Feels Like Existential Dread Three Distinct Problems Requiring Different Solutions The Four Steps to Soliciting Feedback That Actually Works How Radical Respect Becomes the Foundation for Radical Candor Building Teams Where Everyone Steps Toward Their Dreams Why Managers Must Solicit Feedback First Making It Work in Hybrid Environments   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts.   About the Guest: Kim Scott is a bestselling author, leadership expert, and co-founder of Radical Candor.

And then he pointed at the ground with this kind of harsh gesture, and he said, sit. The dog sat. I had no idea she even knew what that meant. And I kind of looked up at him in amazement, and he said to me, it's not mean. It's clear." "At some level, Radical Candor is about love and truth at the same time. If you care personally and you challenge directly at the same time, that's radical candor. You can be really kind and really successful at the same time; you don't have to choose between being a jackass and being successful." "From the time we get our first job, we're maybe 18, 19, 20 years old, right when our egos are maximally fragile. Someone comes along and says, be professional. I think an awful lot of us leave our emotions, leave who we really are, leave our humanity at home, and show up at work like some kind of robot. And you can't possibly care personally if you're showing up at work like some kind of robot." "Radical respect is sort of the prequel to radical candor. The most helpful feedback I got was from a CEO colleague who explained that as soon as she would give even the most compassionate, gentle criticism, they would call her an angry black woman. In that moment, I realized I hadn't been the kind of colleague I wanted to be, and that I had been in denial about disrespectful attitudes happening around me."   Keywords: Primary Keywords (Core Themes): radical candor, radical respect, leadership feedback, management training, psychological safety, caring personally, challenging directly, workplace culture, bias in the workplace, prejudice vs bias, bullying at work, honest communication, employee feedback Secondary Keywords (Related Subtopics): CEO coaching, team building, one-on-one meetings, performance management, organizational culture, diverse teams, inclusive leadership, conflict resolution, difficult conversations, workplace respect, managing bias, soliciting feedback, giving criticism, praise and recognition Episode Resources: Kim Scott on LinkedIn Radical Candor Website Radical Candor Book Radical Respect Book World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a special simulcast of Criminally Good with Sherrie and Jen, the Storehouse Media Group podcast, welcoming Matthew Cox, the former licensed mortgage broker turned nationally recognized expert on white collar crime. Cox built his criminal career around synthetic identities and the fraudulent acquisition of credit cards, personal loans and mortgages, landed on the Secret Service Most Wanted list, and served 13 years in federal prison. Today he hosts Inside True Crime, interviewing law enforcement, journalists and former criminals. Cox opened up about the writing career he started behind bars, the life rights he has optioned, and the persistent confusion around War Dogs, the film based on Guy Lawson's Rolling Stone article. Cox was incarcerated with Efraim Diveroli, the figure played by Jonah Hill, and ghostwrote and sold Diveroli's memoir, but had no hand in the movie. His own memoir, Shark in the Housing Pool, has been optioned several times across seven years without reaching production, and Cox explained why he refuses to build a life around waiting on Hollywood.The conversation turned into a candid masterclass on podcast growth. Cox has built Inside True Crime to 1.1 million YouTube subscribers in roughly six years, tracing the arc from filming himself on an iPhone, to one video a week, to a full in-studio operation producing three long-form episodes a week plus daily shorts. He explained why AdSense outperforms outside sponsors for a true crime show, and how shorts and reels drove his biggest surge. Neil pushed him on volume, recommending a more aggressive shorts schedule, and shared how NHL Wraparound is capturing summer hockey attention with former New York Rangers general manager Neil Smith. Cox also detailed going from begging guests to appear to fielding more submissions than he can book, and why storytelling ability matters more to him than the size of the crime.Cox was equally direct about the harder material, describing how he bristled at the first articles written about him before accepting that the con man label fit, and came to terms with how Dateline and American Greed portrayed him. Rewriting his memoir forced an honest accounting, and by his release he had decided to tell his story exactly as it happened regardless of how it made him look. Sherrie, drawing on 32 years in law enforcement, credited him for paying court-ordered restitution when most people in the federal system never bother, and for avoiding recidivism. Cox also discussed launching additional channels, including The Murder Man, which monetized in about nine days, and the painting career that kept him afloat after the halfway house. He still paints today.Neil then welcomed poet, recording artist and author MJ Bop, whose work blends storytelling, music and spoken word. Bop won a poetry award in second grade, earned an XXL Magazine Hip-Hop Quotable in 1999, released the single You Don't Hear Me, and performed throughout New York City before touring Switzerland and Japan. He cited Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Kool G Rap, Slick Rick and Cam'ron as influences, and spoke movingly about the stroke and heart attack he suffered in 2023, which erased his memory of rhyming and forced him to relearn himself, deepening his faith and resetting his priorities. Bop discussed his book Bop Poetry, Writer of the Black Experience, drawn from the struggles, dreams and shackled hopes he sees in his own neighborhood, his clothing brand Writers Wear, created to make writing cool for young people, and his upcoming book Losing Myself to Find Myself.The program closes with The Mike Vilardi Show, where Neil and Mike Vilardi discussed the reported bounty on President Trump, the Ayatollah's funeral, the assumptions that shaped the recent conflict with Iran, and Vilardi's view that ideological fractures will split the Democratic Party. Find Cox at Inside True Crime on Instagram,

Mario Joos has been inside some of the biggest creator operations in the world - including two and a half years with the MrBeast team and a stint as fractional CEO of the Stokes Twins - and what he found working with some of these big teams may surprise you.In part 2 of our interview we get into the real revenue picture for creators - what the revenue mix looks like, why AdSense-plus-sponsorships is a ceiling, not a strategy, and what it actually looks like when a creator builds a business that generates money independent of their content output. We also cover team structure, the CEO hiring problem, which Mario describes as the hardest thing a creator will ever do and one that even the biggest names in the industry keep getting wrong.And then there's the mindset conversation, which is where things get honest. Mario talks about obsession as a prerequisite, fear-based motivation as a real driver for high performers, and the moment he realised that the creators who don't change aren't lacking information - they're prioritising ego over their actual goal.This is part two of our conversation. If you're building a creator business and you want to understand what the next level actually looks like, this is the episode.Topics covered: creator business structure · revenue models beyond AdSense · niche monetisation · team hiring and operations · the CEO problem · platform diversification · AI policy · mindset and motivation

Mario Joos has been inside some of the biggest creator operations in the world - including two and a half years with the MrBeast team and a stint as fractional CEO of the Stokes Twins - and what he found working with some of these big teams may surprise you.In this episode, Mario breaks down the uncomfortable truth about large creator businesses that behind the polished content and massive subscriber counts, most operations are held together with bandage fixes and reactive hiring. The systems look impressive from the outside. Inside, it's usually a different story.We get into the real revenue picture for creators why AdSense-plus-sponsorships is a ceiling, not a strategy, and what it actually looks like when a creator builds a business that generates money independent of their content output. We also cover team structure - the four-stage content operation that separates world-class channels from everyone else and the CEO hiring problem, which Mario describes as the hardest thing a creator will ever do and one that even the biggest names in the industry keep getting wrong.And then there's the mindset conversation, which is where things get honest. Mario talks about obsession as a prerequisite, fear-based motivation as a real driver for high performers, and the moment he realised that the creators who don't change aren't lacking information - they're prioritising ego over their actual goal.This is part one of a two part conversation. If you're building a creator business and you want to understand what the next level actually looks like, this is the episode.Topics covered: creator business structure · revenue models beyond AdSense · niche monetisation · team hiring and operations · the CEO problem · platform diversification · AI policy · mindset and motivation

Tyson sits down with Ryan Webber to unpack the custom “YouTube research skill” he built in Claude that has transformed his law firm's YouTube channel. Ryan shares how he took fifteen thousand dollars' worth of training from top YouTube strategists plus six years of experience, loaded it into Claude, and created a skill that now does the research those strategists used to do for him.You will learn:Why YouTube is a click‑first platform and why titles, topics, and thumbnails are eighty percent of successHow Ryan's skill scans niche and adjacent channels, pulls outlier videos, and turns them into ten prioritized title and thumbnail ideas with data to back them upThe shift from “YouTube for local clients only” to broader topics that took their channel to one hundred thousand subscribers and over one million views per monthHow Tiffany records just two hours a month, uses teleprompter scripts built in Claude, and still generates 1.5 million monthly viewsHow they turned seventy‑eight hundred dollars in monthly AdSense into roughly seventy thousand dollars in revenue by reinvesting into high‑ROI ads and funnelsRyan breaks down exactly how he uses cowork to trigger the skill, how it checks oneof10.com trackers and YouTube analytics, and why he now invests about eighty percent of his effort into research, titles, and thumbnails before ever worrying about video polish. He also shares what still requires a human touch, from injecting real client stories into scripts to tailoring the skill to each individual channel and its goals.If you are a law firm owner who wants YouTube to both bring in five to fifteen calls a week and build a much larger audience, Ryan's approach shows you how to stop guessing and start using AI to make smarter marketing decisions.Highlights0:00 – Why Tyson twisted Ryan's arm to share his YouTube skill0:26 – Turning $15K of strategist training into a Claude skill1:16 – How the skill researches channels, topics, and outlier videos4:10 – Hitting 100K subscribers and shifting the YouTube strategy6:02 – Why titles, topics, and thumbnails are 80% of success6:56 – Using AI to script videos that still sound like the lawyer8:20 – 1.5M views a month and $7,800 in AdSense9:48 – Turning YouTube into “free” local advertising10:28 – What it would take to offer this skill to other law firms11:22 – How much money Ryan is saving on strategists nowIf this episode helps you think differently about YouTube, hit subscribe for more practical conversations on building a business‑driving law firm channel, and share this with another lawyer who is tired of guessing on titles and thumbnails.

Brian Dean is the founder of Backlinko and Exploding Topics, both acquired by Semrush, which itself was recently acquired by Adobe for $1.9 billion. Brian's story starts exactly where a lot of great stories start: broke, directionless, and eating canned beef stew in his dad's basement during the 2008 financial crisis. He picked up a copy of The 4-Hour Workweek and took action. As is nearly always the case, his path wasn't a straight line, but a series of winding turns, all fed by experiments. His journey includes failures, two successful exits, and a hard-won answer to the question most people never think to ask: what do you actually do with your freedom once you have it?This episode is brought to you by:Incogni, which automatically removes your personal data from the web, helping shield you from fraud, scams, and identity theft: https://incogni.com/tim (use code TIM at checkout and get 60% off an annual plan)Fin powerful AI Agent for all your customer service: Fin.Ai/TimTimestamps:[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:53] From PhD pipettes to Dad's basement to Jerry Springer.[00:04:38] The 4-Hour Workweek finds its dream reader — marginal notes and all.[00:06:04] First product flops, free traffic beckons, and SEO.[00:07:40] The 200-domain AdSense empire.[00:09:40] Dreamlining: From “escape the basement” to “3k a month in Thailand.”[00:11:27] When Google's Panda update slapped the internet (and Brian's empire).[00:12:32] Scared straight: Black hat to white hat via a hostel in Spain.[00:17:55] Backlinko is born.[00:19:50] The 200 ranking factors post: 25 hours of patent-digging, a million visitors.[00:22:13] New rule: One post a month, 10x better than anything out there.[00:23:02] Semrush comes knocking to buy his company — Brian ignores the email.[00:24:02] Taking celebratory shots at Legal Sea Foods while wondering where the contract is.[00:25:32] Due diligence hell: Hunting down ghosted freelancers and the contractor commandments.[00:29:25] SEC market-close rules vs. Brian's 10 p.m. bedtime.[00:30:16] Post-acquisition: Hopping from one treadmill to the next.[00:34:19] Backlinko on autopilot, boredom on full blast, and the chapter everyone skips.[00:35:42] Exploding Topics: The paid newsletter mistake vs. the obvious SaaS play.[00:38:41] Data-driven content and the ChatGPT user stats flywheel.[00:41:00] Noah Kagan's advice: Double down on what works — then 10x down.[00:42:26] Ready, Fire, Aim — the litmus test for would-be founders.[00:44:06] Startup costs: $500 for Backlinko vs. $90k to acquire Exploding Topics.[00:47:29] How love and a Craigslist apartment scam in Berlin landed Brian in Portugal.[00:48:48] Geoarbitrage still works — just don't trust the 2007 pricing.[00:50:20] Post-exit stress: Oura Ring at 2x baseline and the Algarve hard reset.[00:52:21] Why founders who launch within a year of selling usually regret it.[00:53:30] Tennis as the ultimate void-filler: Fun, fitness, community, and fresh air in one sport.[00:54:31] The paradox of choice after exit: Structure, identity, and vertigo.[00:56:52] Parting thoughts.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Brock Johnson breaks down how small YouTube channels can realistically make $50 per day in 2026. He sits down with Sean Cannell to discuss why the common belief that you need millions of views to make money on YouTube is misleading, and how even smaller creators can build meaningful income with the right strategy. They start by explaining the math behind $50 per day, including how YouTube RPM works and why many creators misunderstand how ad revenue is calculated. Sean walks through realistic RPM ranges for small channels and shows how different niches can dramatically affect earnings potential. They then dive into monetization strategies beyond AdSense, focusing on affiliate marketing and why it can generate income faster for smaller channels. They discuss how creators can set up simple affiliate systems, how many sales it actually takes to reach $50 per day, and why SaaS affiliate programs are particularly powerful due to recurring commissions. Another major theme of the episode is choosing the right YouTube niche and attracting higher-value audiences. We discuss how advertiser demand, viewer demographics, and topic selection influence RPM and long-term channel profitability. Brock and Sean also explore the concept of viewer intent — one of the most important factors for turning views into revenue — and the types of videos that naturally convert viewers into buyers, such as product reviews, comparisons, and “best of” lists. Finally, they bring everything together with practical advice for creators with fewer than 1,000 subscribers, including what videos to start making immediately and the fastest path to earning your first $50 day on YouTube.
