Hello, listeners of the Colin and Samir Show. What's up everybody? Hey guys doing. Today, we have a very

special episode. What a treat to bring you this conversation. Today on the show, we're speaking with

Ashley Alexander on YouTube. She goes by the name your mom Ashley. She's a creator that Samir

and I have wanted to have on the show for a long time, mainly because her business is so different than

ours. In this episode, she really pulls back the curtain on how to build a business as a lifestyle

vlogger and also how complicated it can be when your life is content. I feel like on the show,

we've talked a lot about the lost art of vlogging and how vlogging is really at the truest

essence of what YouTube is. Like YouTube's

tagline is broadcast yourself. That's what lifestyle vloggers do. But Ashley provides a really good

perspective about how to actually get into that type of content and to appeal to such a wide

audience. Like she's making videos for hundreds of thousands of people about her daily life.

And she works with some of the biggest brands. She's got Gatorade, Capital One, Sony. I mean, truly,

it is a really impressive feat to work with brands of that scale. Another thing we talked to Ashley

about on this episode is the very public fallout of the content house that she was a part of,

your mom's house. And the lessons that she learned from that, that I think can be applied to

anyone who's collaborating with other creators. We shot this episode in New York City at

Public Opinion Studios, which is a studio run by one of our very good friends, Jack Coint. So thank you

guys for hosting this. And if you guys want to watch the video,

it's available on our YouTube channel right now.

Now lastly, I just want to give a big shout out to Ashley

for coming on the show and being super transparent

with how she runs her business.
