Max Fosh: Building a Creator Business (Without Chasing TV Deals)


Listen Later

He’s the YouTube creator who trained a horse to bet on racing and tricked Heathrow passengers with a fake “Welcome to Luton” sign — now Max Fosh joins TellyCast to reveal how he’s built a global creator business rooted in originality, lean production, and long-form storytelling.

In this week’s episode, Max shares the inside story of his rise from Facebook vlogger to international touring comedian and digital video pioneer. He explains how he approaches YouTube strategy, why branded stunts work (and when they don’t), and why so many traditional media companies are getting it wrong when they try to work with creators. Max also discusses creator burnout, sustainable growth, and the business decisions that keep his channel thriving.

Plus, as host of the first-ever TellyCast Digital Video Awards, Max gives us a sneak peek at what to expect on the night — and of course, he shares his Story of the Week, Hero of the Week, and what’s going in the bin.

👀 A must-listen for anyone interested in the business of social video, creator economy strategy, and the future of digital entertainment.
