What really happens after viral fame fades?

In this episode of Off The Job Podcast, we’re joined by Lee Marshall — professional plumber, DJ, comedian, and former viral prank creator — as he breaks down the real story behind internet success. From earning tens of thousands on viral Facebook videos to walking away from social media fame, Lee shares why YouTube and prank culture no longer gave him fulfilment.

We talk about:

• Making serious money from viral pranks on YouTube and Facebook
• Life inside Troll Station and the chaos behind group content creation
• Why social media monetisation isn’t what it used to be
• Mental health struggles during lockdown and personal loss
• Losing purpose despite financial success
• Returning to plumbing for structure, routine, and fulfilment
• Living and working in Australia as a tradesman
• Stand-up comedy, DJ life, and chasing creative outlets
• Why happiness and contentment matter more than money

This episode is a must-listen for tradespeople, creators, and anyone questioning the cost of chasing online success. Honest, raw, and full of real-world perspective from someone who’s lived both sides.
