Summary

Cory Cotton, one-fifth of the Dude Perfect team, joins Paula to talk about his unconventional path to success and their new book, “101 Tricks, Tips, and Cool Stuff.” He talks about the viral trick shot video that changed their lives forever, the struggles they faced convincing their loved ones that quitting their conventional jobs to become YouTubers was the right decision, the sacrifices they were forced to make along the way, and the one time he found himself on the edge of quitting and what convinced him to stick with it. Cory also shares some behind the scenes details about some of Dude Perfect’s hardest and most popular tricks, including the time he lost his eyebrows. The episode ends with a special treat of lightning round questions from two little boys who are some of their biggest fans!
