On episode 147 I am joined by Sammy Gray and Courtney Reynolds. At the start of the first UK lockdown back in March 2020, Sammy and Courtney AKA Grayskitz started creating TikTok comedy sketches.

Through their passion, consistency and relatability, they have gained 1.8 million followers and have collaborated with brands such as Dell, NatWest, Cartoon Network and the charity Young Minds.

In the episode you will hear:

04:45 Lockdown TikToking

07:30 the responsibility of 1.8m followers and having fun with it

11:00 shopping in Aldi should be an olympic sport

11:30 having fun with it is far more important than the numbers

13:45 making a living by doing what you love

16:00 there are loads of opportunities, you just need to know what you love

17:30 the cultural difference between TikTok and Instagram

19:30 characters that everyone can relate to

21:30 million of views inspired by a five year old

22:45 collaborating with YoungMinds

26:30 giving back

I really love that Sammy and Courtney have been able to make a living by doing what they love, make lots of people laugh and have been able to use their social media influence to give back to charity. I hope this conversation inspires you or someone you love to believe that its possible and that it encourages you to do more of what you love.

Please do share this with someone you’d love to inspire too.

Always love

Ryan
