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 lot is happening with Colin and Samir and we dive in to all of that on this episode of the podcast.

Justice for George Floyd: https://www.change.org/p/mayor-jacob-frey-justice-for-george-floydThis week on the Colin and Samir Podcast, we address the current protests that come as a result of the murder of George Floyd. It took us some time to organize our thoughts around this topic - we’ve talked to each other, friends and family and have put together thoughts that we’d like to share on this podcast as well as across our platforms in the coming days. We ask that the listeners of this podcast be open minded as you listen to our conversations - and to use our conversation as a spark to not only have conversations in your own community but to also take action.

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.

This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we talk about the future of the world, from concerts to restaurants to college - we’re about to see a big shift in the way the world looks, which means a lot of change and a lot of innovation. On this episode we talk about and make predictions about what the future will look like. Link to our latest YouTube Video:
