The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Kane Kallaway — the creator and strategist behind one of the fastest-growing YouTube channels on the internet. After his first channel flopped, Kane rebuilt from the ground up, hit 100K subs in under 5 months, and turned his content into a full-blown business. In this episode, we go way beyond surface-level advice and break down the real blueprint: why most creators fail, how to build a six-figure audience, and what it takes to turn your content into cash. If you're tired of guessing what to post or feel stuck trying to grow your brand — this is your playbook.
