The Genuinely Interested Podcast Ep 65 - Johnathan Buckhouse - Snowboard All Day, Youtube All Night
Johnathan has built a successful Youtube channel that is centered around snowboarding and the snowboarding lifestyle. He regularly uploads amazing videos, fun, and helpful content, and really allows viewers into his life in a very authentic manner. A few years ago, Johnathan decided to go all-in on Youtube. He quit his job at the time with a singular plan in mind - to succeed in his dream of snowboarding for a living and to support himself, and his family while living this dream.
Through hard work, determination, and Youtube algorithms, Johnathan has managed to grow his channel, build a community of supporters, and live out his goal of snowboarding all season long. His next chapter would be riding in the offseason, in the southern hemisphere.
Johnathan and I discussed:
- Why he quit his job to go fulltime on Youtube
- His crazy story with the ski patrol "safety" people
- How he built his Youtube community
- Tips for beginners
- Why consistency is key
- What are his favorite mountains?
- Where he found the best pow
- His dream/goal of snowboarding EVERY single resort in the US
- What it's like snowboarding a 130-day season
And much, much, more.
My Take: If you have a dream, it is your duty to pursue it - everything is easier today than it was 10, 20, or 30 years ago. You have all the tools you need in order for you to go after your goals. Life is short and time is fleeting, don't wait for tomorrow, find your passion and pursue it today. Your future self will thank you in 5 years' time.
