00:01:09	00:01:14	had I was really broke I moved to LA
00:01:12	00:01:16	from Florida I got two credit cards open
00:01:14	00:01:19	I maxed them out on the way to LA in a
00:01:16	00:01:20	U-Haul and while I was in Texas I ran
00:01:19	00:01:22	out of money opened a third credit card
00:01:20	00:01:24	on the phone and maxed that one out by
00:01:22	00:01:26	the time I got to L.A entire year I'm
00:01:24	00:01:29	living out in La making videos with Eric
00:01:26	00:01:30	now in debt in debt at this point what
00:01:29	00:01:33	has been your best month in earnings
00:01:30	00:01:35	from YouTube oh man nothing too crazy I
00:01:33	00:01:37	think like like 40 000. why
00:01:35	00:01:39	and from where you started so now it
00:01:37	00:01:41	hasn't been too long so congrats
00:01:39	00:01:42	seriously it's absolutely crazy you guys
00:01:41	00:01:43	all right you're crushing it how long
00:01:42	00:01:45	did it take you to make your first
00:01:43	00:01:47	dollar on YouTube
00:01:45	00:01:51	so I started making YouTube videos in
00:01:47	00:01:54	2008 like a music channel 2008. wow I'm
00:01:51	00:01:56	doing music covers I made 150 bucks I
00:01:54	00:01:57	think within like a couple years from
00:01:56	00:02:01	that and then I didn't make anything
00:01:57	00:02:02	until 2020. what is the most you've
00:02:01	00:02:04	actually earned in a month from your
00:02:02	00:02:08	YouTube channel
00:02:04	00:02:12	um I think earlier this year we did 245
00:02:08	00:02:15	000 and with how many subscribers uh I
00:02:12	00:02:16	have 800 000 now so around 700 000. oh
00:02:15	00:02:18	congrats you bro it's one of the biggest
00:02:16	00:02:20	numbers of the day and you don't even
00:02:18	00:02:22	have a million Subs so it shows that you
00:02:20	00:02:24	can make good money on YouTube without
00:02:22	00:02:25	having a crazy big Channel hey look so
00:02:24	00:02:27	my question for you is what was the
00:02:25	00:02:30	first dollar you made from YouTube and
00:02:27	00:02:32	when was it oh it was in 2012 but I made
00:02:30	00:02:34	like 40 bucks awesome I'm super happy
00:02:32	00:02:37	you've been on YouTube for 10 years or
00:02:34	00:02:38	more now yes what's the best month that
00:02:37	00:02:41	you've had with your Channel
00:02:38	00:02:43	uh the best month I think I did a meal
00:02:41	00:02:45	once wow yeah yeah that was that was
00:02:43	00:02:47	very nice
00:02:45	00:02:49	oh that's our man I think my little
00:02:47	00:02:51	brother watches every single one of his
00:02:49	00:02:52	videos nice to meet you I'm Jordan I
00:02:51	00:02:54	learned about the interview for like 30
00:02:52	00:02:57	seconds do you remember when you made
00:02:54	00:02:59	your first dollar from YouTube yeah I do
00:02:57	00:03:02	and it was only about a Dollar too is
00:02:59	00:03:03	the thing that was about like two two
00:03:02	00:03:05	and a half years ago so it hasn't even
00:03:03	00:03:07	been that long I was probably posting
00:03:05	00:03:09	videos for like a year or two years
00:03:07	00:03:11	before I made a single dollar off of
00:03:09	00:03:14	YouTube but everything I did was more so
00:03:11	00:03:16	just for the impact and not making money
00:03:14	00:03:18	so that was motivating me to just keep
00:03:16	00:03:20	going regardless of what was coming in
00:03:18	00:03:23	what's the most you've ever spent on one
00:03:20	00:03:26	single video oh my gosh uh probably 250k
00:03:23	00:03:28	yeah 250 to inspire the kids is amazing
00:03:26	00:03:30	man yeah what's the biggest month you've
00:03:28	00:03:32	ever had in earnings from YouTube I'll
00:03:30	00:03:34	just say our biggest month in earnings
00:03:32	00:03:36	is still ahead of us but it allows us to
00:03:34	00:03:38	support you know about 200 000 square
00:03:36	00:03:41	feet of Burbank Studio space which is
00:03:38	00:03:43	not you've got about 125 employees we've
00:03:41	00:03:45	got multiple brands that we're launching
00:03:43	00:03:46	you know to all the parents that have
00:03:45	00:03:48	said you can't build a real career off
00:03:46	00:03:49	YouTube I think there's a lot of people
00:03:48	00:03:51	in this room that are proving that wrong
00:03:49	00:03:54	the day was going amazing I met up with
00:03:51	00:03:56	some friends I made some new ones and
00:03:54	00:03:58	even took an Ellen arm wrestling on
00:03:56	00:04:00	camera but I still had some people I
00:03:58	00:04:02	wanted to tok to so I made some phone
00:04:00	00:04:04	calls and secured an interview with one
00:04:02	00:04:07	of my favorite YouTubers in the world we
00:04:04	00:04:10	just secured something crazy with Mr
00:04:07	00:04:11	Trahan Mr six foot three I am doing I'm
00:04:10	00:04:14	so good how are you doing Jordan I'm
00:04:11	00:04:16	doing great man so look how long did it
00:04:14	00:04:18	take you to make your first dollar or
00:04:16	00:04:20	should I say first penny from YouTube uh
00:04:18	00:04:22	I remember this vividly like as soon as
00:04:20	00:04:25	I got monetized and I saw an actual
00:04:22	00:04:26	Penny yeah like on my Creator Studio I
00:04:25	00:04:28	started freaking out but I think the
00:04:26	00:04:31	memory I actually have is when I hit 15
00:04:28	00:04:32	because I refreshed one day and I had a
00:04:31	00:04:35	video going kind of viral yeah and I was
00:04:32	00:04:37	like wow that's 15 bucks that's like two
00:04:35	00:04:39	hours in Texas a minimum wage work I was
00:04:37	00:04:40	like this is gonna be insane I mean
00:04:39	00:04:42	you're known for your video that didn't
00:04:40	00:04:43	cost that much money but I'm curious
00:04:42	00:04:46	what's the most that you've actually
00:04:43	00:04:49	spent on a video okay so a lot of people
00:04:46	00:04:49	don't know this I'd tok about it
00:04:50	00:04:53	when I went to the world's loneliest
00:04:51	00:04:56	house in Iceland yeah and that video
00:04:53	00:04:57	cost eighteen thousand dollars just
00:04:56	00:04:59	because the trip out there was so
00:04:57	00:05:00	expensive yeah and to get those guys to
00:04:59	00:05:03	be able to take me and like have all the
00:05:00	00:05:04	resources was a lot but I really wanted
00:05:03	00:05:07	to do it so that was the most expensive
00:05:04	00:05:10	what would you say ballpark you have had
00:05:07	00:05:12	in your best month from YouTube ballpark
00:05:10	00:05:14	dude I don't even know I give you the
00:05:12	00:05:16	ballpark but the best month ever was the
00:05:14	00:05:18	penny series yeah I uploaded 30 times
00:05:16	00:05:20	and it was worth it man we all like left
00:05:18	00:05:21	our families for 30 days it went super
00:05:20	00:05:23	hard raised a bunch for charity and it
00:05:21	00:05:24	was definitely I put us ahead it was
00:05:23	00:05:27	like worth six months of AdSense yeah we
00:05:24	00:05:28	raised 1.4 mil for uh feeding America
00:05:27	00:05:30	and that was uh super rewarding super
00:05:28	00:05:31	special big respect not only that but
00:05:30	00:05:33	you take care of your friends your
00:05:31	00:05:35	family your wife I got a lot of respect

00:06:00	00:06:03	is one of my favorite creators on the
00:06:02	00:06:05	whole platform my first question for you
00:06:03	00:06:08	how many videos did you post until you
00:06:05	00:06:11	made your first dollar from YouTube oh I
00:06:08	00:06:13	probably made like 200 videos so 300
00:06:11	00:06:14	videos before I ever made a dollar from
00:06:13	00:06:16	YouTube do you remember when that first
00:06:14	00:06:18	dollar was I remember it extremely
00:06:16	00:06:21	vividly yeah of course I made Seven
00:06:18	00:06:22	cents on January 1st of 2020. where I
00:06:21	00:06:25	monetized my channel for the first time
00:06:22	00:06:27	and I was it was the most valuable seven
00:06:25	00:06:28	cents I ever made in my entire life but
00:06:27	00:06:30	that wasn't too long ago that was not
00:06:28	00:06:31	that was literally like two years ago
00:06:30	00:06:33	yeah and now two years later you're
00:06:31	00:06:35	spending crazy money on these videos
00:06:33	00:06:38	what's the most you've spent on a video
00:06:35	00:06:40	oh no uh well
00:06:38	00:06:42	I I did this one video where I rented
00:06:40	00:06:43	out an entire airplane for me and my
00:06:42	00:06:45	friends but I got scammed the first time
00:06:43	00:06:47	and I was there by the way you were
00:06:45	00:06:49	there for that that's right all right so
00:06:47	00:06:51	the first time I lost thirty thousand
00:06:49	00:06:52	dollars so I just got scammed out of 30k
00:06:51	00:06:56	and then I had to do it again for
00:06:52	00:06:58	another 40 000 probably 90 000 on that
00:06:56	00:07:00	video wow yeah what's the most you've
00:06:58	00:07:05	generated in a month from your YouTube
00:07:00	00:07:05	channel oh man oh do I want to tell them
00:07:06	00:07:14	I think my best month

00:07:14	00:07:20	480k off of AdSense wow just two years
00:07:18	00:07:21	ago you made your first seven cents yeah
00:07:20	00:07:22	yeah yeah and now you're doing multiple
00:07:21	00:07:24	times when I say that you have to
00:07:22	00:07:26	include this part I say that to inspire
00:07:24	00:07:27	I'm not doing that to brag I literally
00:07:26	00:07:30	burned all that money on the next videos
