Summary
Hi Everyone, Happy Tuesday! I am so excited for you to get to know today's guest. When I first saw Brandon Rogers, it was at a con and he had a line of people waiting to see him that went out the door and down the block. I said to myself, "I have got to get to know this person." If you don't know Brandon's work, he has been making incredible, hilarious short videos for YouTube for almost 20 years (since the beginning!). Do yourself a favor and do a deep dive. His characters are outlandish, subversive and most of all, fun. He is now the star of the animated show Helluva Boss, where he plays Blitzo. This conversation was a blast and honestly really educational. Brandon and I bond over what makes us laugh (people getting hurt, sorry!). We also talk about our relationships with our fans and how AI is changing the landscape for independent creators. After the interview, I sit down with my producer Jeph and talk about the conversation in a segment we call the Hindsight. Join us there and on Patreon for more goodies!
