in the last 90 days I have made.

Eric took YouTube by Storm last year, starting the year off with zero subscribers and

setting the intention to cross a million by the end of the year.

Now, Eric actually did achieve getting to a million subscribers before the year ended, but did it in a way

that was pretty crazy. He actually stranded himself on an island and live streamed on his channel

until he reached a million subs. I'll tell you what. You wouldn't catch me doing that. Yeah,

me either. No. I would like us to get to 300,000 subscribers, and I would hope he would help us with that.

That would be great. But I'm not going to strand myself on an island. Not today. Not ever.

This is also not the first time that we've interviewed Eric. We actually interviewed him when he had about 500,000

subscribers almost exactly one year ago. We had a great conversation with Eric that went pretty long, actually,

and there's a portion of the interview where he just starts asking us questions. That entire

part of the interview is going to come out in part two. So this is part one of our two-part series

with Arak. So this interview with Arak, we talk about life after hitting a million subscribers and really

what it means to become a career creator, growing a team and really establishing a business.

And the sponsor of today's episode is a company that helps creators with their business,

Jelly Smack. We'll tell you more about how Jelly Smack works later in the episode.

But if you're a creator and you want to check them out, they are linked in the description. More on that later. All right. And now for part one of our

interview with Arak. Dude, welcome back to the show. Yeah. Last time you were in here,

this place, we had just moved in. It was completely empty. And you had 500,000 subs. Yeah.

That's crazy. We talked about it quite a bit at that time,

but it's pretty fascinating that you've,

like I think this is one of the hardest things to do on YouTube.
