Mercanthony: Doing It for the Plot (feat. Mercanthony)
Mercanthony isn’t just another creator - he’s a force.
He started with an iPod Touch at age 10. Now he’s got 2,300 TikToks, 4,500 hours on Twitch, and a legacy tattooed in content.
In this episode, Kim Meltzer sits down with the orange-haired whirlwind to talk Beast Games, content obsession, and why he never wanted the prize money. They cover rejection, the grind, falling through trap doors, and filming videos while standing on a zipline.
This isn’t about followers. It’s about fire.
If you’ve ever felt like quitting, this one’s for you.
