Justin Brown runs Primal Video, a channel with nearly two million subscribers that teaches creators how to actually make videos. But as Justin explains, he never set out to be a YouTuber. He walked away from a profitable production company, clients and retainers, to gamble on a channel he treats less like a creative outlet and more like a business tool.
In this episode, Justin is refreshingly candid about how it all runs. We cover why he went from a team of 14 down to 4 without shrinking the business, why fun became his real North Star after building a company he grew to resent, and he doesn't hold back on the money: how affiliates quietly became his biggest revenue line (nothing to do with Amazon), how a $14 microphone click turned into a $30,000 commission, and why the email list, not the channel, is the real business behind the business.
A practical, unusually open look at owning your audience and building a creator business that doesn't fall over when one platform changes its mind.
