A $17,000 gamble on YouTube ft. Airrack
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.

A candid look into our brainstorming process
This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we’ve got a bit of a different episode for you guys, we asked you on instagram what you wanted to see in the storytelling course that we’re working on and a lot of you asked about the brainstorming process. So we had a brainstorm planned for the week and thought we’d just press record and bring you a long. Storytelling isn’t just about the specific videos we make but also about a brand as a whole, a great brand is a great story - and we feel like we could e telling a better story as a brand. So in this brainstorm we work through our show the breakdown and try and come up with a Unique Value Prop for the show as well as the branding elements and framework that will communicate the unique value prop to the audience.

50 Million Views with Coolman Coffeedan
This week, on the Colin and Samir Podcast, we’re joined by Danny Casale aka Coolman Coffeedan. Now we actually recorded this episode a few weeks ago and we are working on a YouTube video with Danny, but felt like right now was a good time to release it because Danny’s story is extremely inspiring and he built a lot of his career from his bedroom...which is where a lot of us are spending most of our time now. Danny is a NYC based artist who has gained popularity through his surreal, and poorly-drawn animations. He calls himself a Bad animator, but his bad animations have made there way on to the big screens at times square… he’s got 2M subscribers on YouTube, 2 Million on Instagram 1.5 Million followers on Facebook and another 1.3 Million on Tiktok, so clearly his animations connect with a lot of people. He recently released an album on Spotify Although he’s been uploading to Youtube for over 10 years for His style first took off in 2017 when he released an animation titled Snakes have Legs, which was basically a PSA for people to stop believing everything they read on the internet. The video has over 10 million views on Danny’s facebook and has been shared all over the internet. Spending the day with Danny was awesome, he’s a big inspiration to us, his message is strong and his style is so relatable. I would recommend checking him out on instagram before you listen to this so you can get a feel for his style, he even recently put out a song about washing your hands. We met Danny earlier this year at Samsung Unpacked and we quickly bonded over our mutual love of emo music… so if you’re into that too, tweet at us @colinandsamir
