The Creator Incorporated

Career Colin, aka Colin Rocker, joins the show to talk about his life story and how he has been able to make content creation his full time job. Colin had some incredible stories about some embarrassments and missteps as he entered the corporate world. To be honest, it was eye-opening to hear about the things that Colin had to face early on in his corporate career, because nobody taught him the "unwritten rules" of the corporate world.
Colin used these experiences to shape his content as it is today. Colin speaks to those first generation professionals who are seeking guidance and mentorship for navigating corporate culture. 
Colin is an incredible mentor to over 500k followers across his social channels. He is a keynote speaker, a creator, a husband, and a father. We get into ALL of that.

Stephen Cho sat down with Jack, Stephen and Jack are boys from college. Stephen digs in on his start to making comics on his account @thebrownbags. Stephen was the meme chair in college and was allegedly quite good at it. Stephen talks about grappling with crafting original jokes but also producing them fast to keep up with the pressure of posting algorithms. 

He talks on how he’s been toeing into creating vlogs of his comic making process, which involves a notes app list, making fun of annoying things in life, and sketching it all out. He’s posting for the love of the game, and his comics did make me lol.

Tune in for this one, the boys got good chit chat.

Dennis Petlakh, aka Nisflix, is a different kind of content creator than we usually interview. Dennis does a ton of drone video content, and he talks about how that whole journey.

Dennis started his videography and photography side hustle taking pictures of car inventory at dealerships, and now he's being flown around the world to capture footage of major auto races.

If you love the craft of cinematography, this is a really fun episode to nerd out about. Also if you're into cars we went down a bit of a rabbit hole there.

Also Dennis is Jack's boy. They did this interview from Dennis' apartment in Chicago, so if you want to see that, head over to YouTube.

Go check him out on YouTube and Instagram @nisflix.

He also works for United airlines. Dude definitely flies for free. Electric.
