Pierson is best known for being a twice emmy nominated actor, he's been on shows and movies across a wide variety of networks including the Disney Channel, CW, TruTv and recently booked the biggest job of his career - he's going to be starring in an action comedy movie alongside Kevin Hart and Woody Harleson called "The Man from Toronto" Pierson reached out to us a few weeks ago wanted to talk about YouTube - as the quarantine era began Pierson took his career into his own hands, creating content across social platforms and quickly growing a following of over 2M on TikTok, 70,000 on YouTube and almost half a million on Instagram. He's on the few actors in his age group to make the jump from Traditional media to digital creator and he's had so much success in doing so because he's got a pretty interesting and eclectic background. We absolutely loved chatting with pierson which is why this podcast is 2 hours long, we talk about everything from his early upbrining on a farm in washington to his big break in hollywood, dating a celebrity and dealing with papparazzi up to growing an audience on social as an actor.

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.
