The BeatiDudes YouTube Strategist Dropping Knowledge | Evan Raugust | Episode #255
At the tiny table, hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome Evan Raugust, a 20-year-old Catholic YouTuber and strategist who has already built a reputation for helping channels grow with focus, clarity, and positivity. Evan shares how he left Las Vegas for Dallas, why he locked himself in a room to study thousands of videos, and how he approaches YouTube as both an art and a science.
