An Unconventional Life

“I had no money, so I had to triple down on what I was doing.” My next guest on the podcast, Skyy John, got fired from his bartending job at the same time that all his YouTube revenue was pulled. That was the start of how he built the most popular bartending show in the world, “The Tipsy Bartender.”

In Japan, Marie Kondo wrote a book called “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.” An ocean away, my next guest on the podcast, Caitlin Roberts read the book and was absolutely floored. She encountered a life perspective she never knew existed.

On the show today, how MJ took a gap year from a prestigious business school, got signed with the NBA, and made a career on YouTube watching basketball.

Today on the show we talk to Curt Richy and learn how he went from having intense social anxiety from any type of conversation to making a living by talking to a camera. This story is a little different from our previous ones because we’ve interviewed Curt while the YouTube algorithm is screwing him. Usually YouTubers get interviewed when they are being hand-fed views like an obese baby, but I’m really interested to peer into the mindset of someone who is getting screwed over and doesn’t know why. 

Besides the notoriety he gained by turning his 2nd-grade floor into a pee filled slip n’ slide, Christian has really turned his life around.
