Hey, what's up everyone? Welcome to this episode of the Colin and Samir show. And on this episode,

about to do a speaker announcement in the publish press. So if you subscribe to the published press,

then you will find out who is speaking. But there's a great list of creators who are going to

join me and Colin on stage and host sessions about what we're doing on YouTube, what

trends we're seeing on YouTube, how to build a show and a career on the platform, as well as representatives
