<p>Watch the video version of this podcast:&nbsp;https://youtu.be/kzBU9gEHx_M</p><p>Check out our Online Storytelling Course: https://moment.8ocm68.net/keM6z</p><p>Eric Decker aka Airrack started uploading to YouTube in January 2020. He started this year with 50 YouTube subscribers and today he has over 500,000. He’s had explosive growth this year and his mission is to get to 1M youtube subscribers - in order to get there he’s had to do some pretty crazy things including taking out a $17,000 loan to pay for one video. He’s one of the most committed creators we’ve come across and we definitely feel like he has what it takes to get to 1M subs and probably even further than that - and once you hear this episode I think you’ll agree with us on that as well. If you aren’t familiar with his videos, just type in Airrack on YouTube, I’d recommend that you watch his Couch series, that’ll give you a pretty good understanding of who he is.</p>

We ask that the listeners of this podcast be open minded as you listen to our conversations - and to use our conversation as a spark to not only have conversations in your own community but to also take action.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we’ve got a bit of a different episode for you guys, we asked you on instagram what you wanted to see in the storytelling course that we’re working on and a lot of you asked about the brainstorming process. So we had a brainstorm planned for the week and thought we’d just press record and bring you a long. Storytelling isn’t just about the specific videos we make but also about a brand as a whole, a great brand is a great story - and we feel like we could e telling a better story as a brand. So in this brainstorm we work through our show the breakdown and try and come up with a Unique Value Prop for the show as well as the branding elements and framework that will communicate the unique value prop to the audience.</p>

<p><strong>This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we’re talking about some lessons that we’ve learned in 10 days of being in quarantined here in Los Angeles. We’ve kept ourselves busy with making videos, podcasts and instagram posts but we have also had a significant change in our daily lives.</strong></p><p><strong>So in this episode we breakdown some lessons we’ve learned and how those lessons can be applied once this whole experience is over.&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>Make sure to subscribe and send us a voice message on Anchor!&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p>

<p>This week, on the Colin and Samir Podcast, we’re joined by Danny Casale aka <strong>Coolman Coffeedan</strong>. Now we actually recorded this episode a few weeks ago and we are working on a YouTube video with Danny, but felt like right now was a good time to release it because Danny’s story is extremely inspiring and he built a lot of his career from his bedroom...which is where a lot of us are spending most of our time now. Danny is a NYC based artist who has gained popularity through his surreal, and poorly-drawn animations. He calls himself a Bad animator, but his bad animations have made there way on to the big screens at times square… he’s got 2M subscribers on YouTube, 2 Million on Instagram 1.5 Million followers on Facebook and another 1.3 Million on Tiktok, so clearly his animations connect with a lot of people. He recently released an album on Spotify</p><p>Although he’s been uploading to Youtube for over 10 years for His style first took off in 2017 when he released an animation titled Snakes have Legs, which was basically a PSA for people to stop believing everything they read on the internet. The video has over 10 million views on Danny’s facebook and has been shared all over the internet. Spending the day with Danny was awesome, he’s a big inspiration to us, his message is strong and his style is so relatable. I would recommend checking him out on instagram before you listen to this so you can get a feel for his style, he even recently put out a song about washing your hands. We met Danny earlier this year at Samsung Unpacked and we quickly bonded over our mutual love of emo music… so if you’re into that too, tweet at us @colinandsamir</p>

<p>In this episode Colin is back in LA and we podcast about the current state of the world. We are also joined by our friend Jack Coyne in the middle of the episode who give us his perspective. Make sure to tweet at us @colinandsamir, send us a voice message on Anchor or shoot us an email to join in on the conversation. Thanks for listening and supporting us and we'll try our best to give you more podcasts in the coming weeks.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast I’m joined by Thomas Dajer. Thomas is the lead editor for the YouTube Channel, &nbsp;Yes Theory - we’ve had him on the show before to talk the what goes on behind the scenes of Yes Theory and how they craft their stories that reach millions of people. This week, we’re talking about something different, Thomas competed in one of Mr. Beasts challenges - now if you are unfamiliar with Mr. Beast, he’s a creator with over 32 million subscribers - he does these big social experiments that often times end with some sort of cash prize. Thomas not only competed in the video but also Won (and he won $70,000...) We spend the first 20 minutes of the episode talking about the making of that video - so If you haven’t seen it yet - watch Yes Theory’s version on their channel and then listen to the podcast - it’ll make more sense once you’ve watched the video, We also talk about Thomas’ trip through Europe, his modeling career, his on-camera appearances and his efforts to expand his identity, it’s a really interesting conversation that we had a lot of fun having.</strong></p>
