Summary
This was a really cool interview I did a little while back which focused pretty heavily on becoming an influencer & starting in the video space when it first debuted. I chat about being one of the first on YouTube, and why I made the choice at the time to move to Viddler (and then back to YouTube), and chop it up about why subscriber dedication is much more important than a subscriber number (width vs depth). This is a great interview for anyone playing the video game and playing with growth on YouTube. Hope you give it a listen ;)
