      Seaboy's TV, which started in 2016, evolved from a group of seven best friends in a small town doing weekend activities together, to a YouTube channel, and eventually, a company. They had been doing the same things since they were kids, and when one of them started filming, they discovered they had an audience. The initial success came from a video featuring a shifter cart, which gained around 1,000 views and $1,100 in revenue. To collect the earnings, they formed an LLC and decided to include all seven friends as equal partners. However, this structure later led to challenges.

This was the approach our interviewee and his team adopted, leading them to some initial success. However, an unexpected opportunity arose when they were pitched a TV show, which seemed like the ultimate break. They took a break from YouTube to focus on the pilot episode, but it didn't go as planned.

In this case, a group of young individuals were trying to build a YouTube channel and were approached by someone who promised to help them create a TV show. However, after investing significant time and resources into the pilot episode, they realized that the person was not capable of delivering on their promises. Despite this, the group continued to engage with the individual due to their desperation to succeed and the belief that they were making progress. This experience served as a valuable lesson in the importance of due diligence, transparency, and trustworthiness when working with potential partners or mentors.

In this discussion, the speaker recounts a time when they had to make a decision about bringing on a new team member. They felt uneasy about the candidate, despite Jake's strong support, and ultimately went with their gut and sided with those who shared their concerns. The decision not to bring on the new team member turned out to be the right one, as the speaker later left the project to pursue personal growth. Looking back, the speaker acknowledges that they couldn't have been more wrong about their initial gut feeling regarding the new team member, but they wouldn't change the experience for the world. The lessons learned and the growth that came from the situation were invaluable.

The speakers in this conversation had been working on a project together for several years and had built a strong friendship. When one member decided to leave and pursue a new opportunity, the others were initially hurt and felt betrayed. They believed that the person leaving was being misled and that he didn't have the necessary credentials to succeed. The speaker who was leaving felt lost and uncertain about his own direction and was struggling with feelings of self-doubt. It wasn't until much later that he began to seek help through therapy to work through these feelings and find clarity. The experience was compared to a romantic breakup, and the pain was felt deeply due to the strong bond that had been formed between the friends. However, with time and reflection, the speakers were able to move forward and appreciate the lessons learned from the experience.

In this case, Jake's decision to leave a group and go his own way led to a legal battle and a falling out with his former colleagues. However, it's important to note that Jake's actions were driven by his desire to see his former group succeed and his unwillingness to be a liability if he wasn't actively involved. Despite the emotional turmoil that came with his decision, Jake ultimately felt that he had made the right choice, even if it meant burning some bridges in the process. It's a reminder that making tough decisions, even if they're difficult and emotional, can be necessary for personal and professional growth.

However, this quick action came after a period of tension and financial strain caused by the manager's delay tactics. The situation highlights the importance of being proactive and protecting one's business interests when dealing with difficult partners or managers.

During a business partnership, miscommunications and external influences can create tension and even cause a rift. In this case, the partners experienced a prolonged period of financial struggle and public doubt after one member left. However, instead of giving up, they used this adversity as motivation to refocus and strategize. They reevaluated their processes, became more intentional with their content creation, and ultimately turned their situation around.

The incident involved a misunderstanding over business matters, which was exacerbated by the involvement of other people who added their opinions and speculations, creating a toxic environment. The situation reached a low point when the speaker had a breakdown and felt betrayed by their friend and other friends. However, despite the challenges, the friends eventually resolved their differences and moved on from the situation. The incident serves as a reminder that it's essential to communicate clearly and avoid being influenced too much by external factors when working on projects with friends. Additionally, the speaker shared an interesting anecdote about obtaining a Morgan Freeman voiceover for a video, which had nothing to do with the main story but added an entertaining element to the conversation.

    • The Importance of Trust and Communication in Collaborative ProjectsClear communication and trust are essential for successful collaborative projects. Even when trust is broken, forgiveness and an open mind can lead to renewed camaraderie.

      Trust and communication are crucial in any collaborative project. The discussion highlights the experience of a group of friends who worked on a project together, only to have it turn sour due to a lack of transparency and trust. Despite initial hesitance, watching a video created by the supposed betrayer led to a surprising shift in momentum and a renewed sense of camaraderie. However, the incident served as a reminder of the importance of clear communication and trust in creative partnerships. The friends learned that even when things seem dire, it's essential to keep an open mind and give the benefit of the doubt. Ultimately, the experience taught them valuable lessons about collaboration and the power of forgiveness.

    • Waiting for progress can lead to frustrationCommunicate openly and make decisions when necessary to avoid waiting indefinitely for progress in collaborative projects.

      Trust and patience are essential when working on a project with someone, but it's important to recognize when things aren't progressing and take action. The speaker shares a story of working with a friend on merchandising projects over the summer, but despite putting in long hours, they had little to show for their efforts. The friend's lack of progress and unwillingness to move forward led to frustration and animosity. Ultimately, the speaker learned that it's crucial to communicate openly and make decisions when necessary, rather than waiting indefinitely for things to happen. Trust is important, but so is taking action when needed.

    • The importance of a team and efficient production process in content creationA dedicated team and efficient production process are crucial for successful content creation. Financial sustainability is also essential to avoid burnout and maintain quality.

      The failure of a new media platform, Quibi, and the ensuing experience of creating content for YouTube led to a realization of the importance of a dedicated team and efficient production process. The speaker had funded the production of their YouTube content themselves until they were financially drained. The arrival of an experienced editor, Pat Reagan, revolutionized their content and allowed them to stay relevant. However, the speaker's relationship with their manager was strained, and they eventually had to ask him to leave. The experience taught the speaker the value of a supportive team and the importance of financial sustainability in content creation.

The speaker shares his experience of investing time, money, and energy into a business venture that ultimately failed, leaving him with nothing to show for it. Despite the challenges, he learned valuable lessons and gained perspective that prepared him for future endeavors. However, the experience left a negative impact on his reputation and relationships, requiring him to cut ties and even face legal action.

The speaker's experience with a former collaborator involved a nickname dispute that led to a lawsuit, causing financial strain and hindering their progress. The ongoing legal battle not only impacted their personal finances but also affected their ability to secure loans and partnerships due to the negative perception of being involved in a lawsuit. This situation highlights the importance of clear communication, setting boundaries, and resolving disagreements in a timely and fair manner to avoid lengthy and costly legal battles.

However, when they started making videos with a new partner, they eventually gained traction and began to thrive. Then, an unexpected connection came in the form of a business mentor, Anthony, who showed interest in their online store. Despite initial hesitation, the speaker eventually agreed to teach him the ropes. In return, Anthony made a deal with the speaker's fan, a young girl, to buy their old truck for her first car. The speaker was surprised when Anthony turned out to be the same person who had previously tried to email them about their business.

He also discussed the importance of evolving the business and focusing on the core audience. From his experience running a YouTube channel with a group, he learned the importance of keeping everything in order and working together as a team. He emphasized the full-time commitment required to ensure everything runs smoothly, from filming and editing to managing inventory and the website. What might seem like a fun and carefree lifestyle from the outside is actually a grind, with long hours and constant attention to detail.

    • Two friends share their Mustang experiences and drifting mishapsPassion for Mustangs can lead to risks and criticism, but individuals remain dedicated to their love for the cars

      Passion for cars, specifically Mustangs, can lead individuals to take risks and face challenges, even if the outcomes aren't always perfect. In this discussion, Jake and Mike share their experiences with Mustangs, drifting, and the online backlash they've received. Jake's goal is to create a louder Mustang, leading him to acquire a RTR Mustang kit, but his first drifting experience didn't go as planned, resulting in a viral clip of him losing control. Mike, on the other hand, regrets not keeping his old car for practice instead of upgrading to a Mustang with an electronic steering rack, which makes drifting more difficult. They both face criticism in Mustang groups online, but they continue to engage and defend themselves, showing their dedication to the Mustang community and their love for the cars. Despite the setbacks, they remain enthusiastic and continue to pursue their passion.

    • Online stalking and potential risks of sharing personal informationBe cautious about sharing personal information online and be aware of the potential risks, including online bullying and malicious use of information.

      The internet can be a dangerous place where personal information can be easily obtained and used for malicious purposes, such as bullying or setting up pranks. In this case, an individual named Jake was stalked online, with the stalker knowing personal details about him and his family. The situation became even more complicated when MTV expressed interest in creating a show around Jake's online hater.

However, they expressed that they now have more resources and structure in their creative pursuits, leading to even more creativity and fun. The speaker also shared a story about losing their video project due to a technical glitch and the stress that came with it, but they ultimately found a way to recover it. These experiences demonstrate that creativity can be found in adversity, but having more resources and experience can lead to even greater creativity.

While there may be more pressure to perform and meet expectations, there is also a greater sense of accomplishment and capability. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being present and enjoying the process, rather than constantly looking to the future or dwelling on the past. They encourage a balance between living in the moment and having a clear vision for the future. Ultimately, the speaker encourages a mindset of constant growth and improvement, focusing on the successes and learning from the challenges, rather than comparing oneself to others or getting bogged down in the past.

    • Comparing Yourself to Others is a HindranceInstead of focusing on others, focus on your own goals and growth to be the best version of yourself.

      Focusing too much on comparing yourself to others and trying to keep up with their success can be a major hindrance. It's essential to understand that everyone is on their unique journey and that it's impossible to be a better version of someone else. Instead, it's crucial to focus on your own goals and growth, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem compared to others. The speakers in this conversation learned this lesson the hard way when they compared themselves to others in their industry and found themselves struggling with feelings of inadequacy and impulsivity. However, they eventually realized that they needed to focus on their own lane and growth, which led them to success in their own right. Ultimately, the key takeaway is to remember that you can't compare apples to oranges and that you should focus on being the best version of yourself, rather than trying to be someone else.

The speaker expresses gratitude for the role of a particular friend's father in their past, providing a place for them to hang out and fostering their creativity. The speaker also acknowledges that growing up doesn't necessarily mean growing old or losing the ability to enjoy life and be "cool." Instead, we can choose how we feel and act, and the people and experiences we've had can continue to influence us in positive ways. The speaker expresses appreciation for the combination of factors that have led them to where they are today and the importance of the team and individuals who have contributed to their journey.

      Jake's ability to negotiate deals effectively was a result of his confidence and meticulous attention to detail. The group's faith in Jake's skills led them to involve him in a 4-wheeler purchase, and they documented the process for entertainment. However, Jake's approach, which included examining the vehicle thoroughly and asking detailed questions, left the sellers feeling uncomfortable. Despite his best efforts, Jake was unable to secure a significant discount. The group's antics, which included attempting to haggle for deals and causing mischief, reminded them of their college days and the energy and excitement that came with new experiences. While not all of their adventures were captured on camera, the group's shared sense of adventure and camaraderie remained a constant.

    Mythical: Rhett and Link

    Best friends Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal started out as “comedians for Christ,” and grew their partnership into one of the most successful YouTube platforms in existence. During college they created silly videos and songs for Christian events, and later built a following on YouTube before most people knew what it was. After struggling to find stardom in Hollywood, they continued to build a presence on YouTube: sampling punishingly hot peppers, writing ear-wormy songs about random things, showing off glasses that turned the world upside down. Nowadays, their entertainment company, Mythical, reports over 75 million subscribers and 25 billion lifetime views.

    DTYS with Ena Cooper

    In this episode of Drawn to Your Story, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ena Cooper, who worked for KIRO News for 30 years before starting her own advertising company. I asked Ena 10 random questions to get to know her better.

    Ena shared with me her journey of discovering her passion for advertising, the challenges she faced in starting her own company, and the lessons she learned along the way. She also talked about her love for her dog and how she enjoys spending time with her girlfriends. During the interview, I created an illustration featuring a billboard with Ena's adorable dog and the words "wolrd's cutest dog next 7 miles."

    Ena's inspiring story of following her dreams, taking risks, and finding success on her own terms left a lasting impression on me. This episode is a testament to the power of determination and hard work. Tune in to this episode to hear Ena's answers to 10 random questions and be inspired to pursue your own passions.
