Colin. It's here. It's 2022, man. That means we've officially been doing this together for 11 years.

No. Right? Yeah. We started in 2011. That's crazy. Wow. This space has come a long way. And we've gotten old.

We've gotten older. Yeah, it's true. Your beard's almost completely gray.

Completely. That is true. What's up, Pod Squad? Thanks for listening to this podcast. It's our first official episode of the year. And this episode is with a creator who's been

uploading longer than we have, 13 years. Yeah, Marcus Brownlee has been uploading to YouTube

since 2009. And it's unbelievable to

see how far he's come, his staying power, how big his team is, truly one of my favorite

creators that we get to speak with. We use this term a lot internally called a career creator.

And Marquez, especially after spending this much time at his space, like he is the true embodiment of a career creator.

He's building a modern day media company.

He has a full team and this beautiful studio that we actually got to tour.

And we will be uploading a studio tour to our YouTube channel this week.

It's like a full-blown exploration of that space and where he shows us the ins and outs of what he's building.

And it's, I mean, it's pretty amazing.

It's a, it's a million-dollar studio.

This is our second interview with Marquez Brownlee.
