If you’ve been on the sidelines, hesitating about starting your channel or taking your channel seriously, this is the episode you have been waiting for! Even if you’ve been growing your channel for years, you’re gonna want to listen to this episode with a notebook beside you because everyone is going to learn a TON to help them explode their channels. I don’t think you’re ready. Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker and YouTuber Evan Carmichael is here and we get really deep and focused only on super fast and massive growth with tactics that are 2019 ready. Let’s go!

“80% of YouTube success is making daily content that is fire.”

Evan is a YouTuber who talks all things entrepreneurship and business on his channel. He has over 6,000 videos - yes, my word, six thousand - and has over 2 million subscribers. What I liked most about Evan was his openness to share as much as he knew and hold nothing back. You know there are some weirdos who put themselves on a pedestal and hoard all their secrets. Evan is the opposite, as you’ll hear in this episode. He has published 4 books, and he is a globally in-demand speaker, an entrepreneur, former Venture Capitalist and a lot more.

“If you keep leaning into the things that are fun for you, you will find your inner genius.”

We were on a tight timeline so we dove right in. We didn’t spend any time on his story, just went deep into the tactics and strategies around rapid channel growth. This episode is short but packed with value. Trust me, you will be taking notes on every sentence. Enjoy!

“By continued experimentation, you’ll find your style.”

I’m in love with this brand and this entrepreneur’s story and you’re about to be too! If you’re thinking of starting something to have a massive reach and impact, you’re going to want to take notes because we have Karissa Bodnar, owner of Thrive Causemetics giving away all the inside scoop into how she grew her business from zero to what it is today. She seriously held nothing back and we go into everything!

“I believe that when we are confident, we are unstoppable.”

Karissa and Thrive Causemetics has received accolades like the “Fastest-growing vegan beauty company”, “Forbes 30 under 30 for 2019” and INC magazine’s “Badass Female Founders”, but before all that Karissa grew up on a farm in Washington State. She loved creating makeup from roses from her mom's garden and crayons. Since then she has been deep into all things makeup: working as a makeup artist at Sephora during college, working at Clarisonic after college and in L'oreal’s luxury division after they acquired Clarisonic. But when she hit a brick wall after losing her friend to cancer at 24, she came to the realization that she had to stop waiting and finally build the beauty company of her dreams. She was passionate about doing more than just selling beauty products but empowering women as well. And a month later she started Thrive Causemetics on her kitchen counter. 

“If our product wasn’t great, people would not buy it.”

She funded it all herself, making product formulas on her kitchen counter and fulfilling all the orders out of her 1-bedroom apartment. As she grew, she reached out to people for help, and along the way she captured the hearts of her amazing customers and their word of mouth on social media moved the needle for her. She went from making a thousand dollars a day in sales to hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in sales, in just a few days, and kept growing from there. A part of why it’s called ‘causemetics’ is because she donates her profits to a lot of charities who help women re-enter the workforce, deal with abuse, recover from cancer and even more - they keep adding more and more women groups in need. You’re going to learn in-depth the different stages of her journey and how she was able to get through each stage to where her company is today. Enjoy!

“When you realize that the worst that can happen really isn’t that bad, you’re unstoppable.”

Let’s redefine the definition of busy for a minute. Think six kids, running a business and 5 YouTube channels uploading 12 times… per week! Exhausted yet? Get ready because we’re breaking down how to juggle it all and thrive at the same time with family vlogger Rachel Bennett from The Ohana Adventure!

“As long as your focus aligns with the demographics, you’re going to come up on the upside and grow quicker.”

Rachel didn’t think she had a knack for YouTube and doubted that anyone would watch her videos. But three years later her channel, The Ohana Adventure, has over 2 million subscribers and its growing extremely well! We all have her husband to thank for pushing her to do it and not giving up. She started off with 1 channel uploading 7 days a week, but now the whole family is on the YouTube train, with a total of 5 channels, uploading 12 videos a week and having a combined subscriber count of 2.5 million subscribers!  

“Figure out what makes you different. Stay in your zone but stand out like a bright shining star.”

She lived with her husband and children in Hawaii for 10 years before moving to the mainland in 2013. Now she’s doing YouTube full time with her family and homeschooling all 6 of them! In this episode, we talk about how she structures her days to get it all done, how they use analytics and trends to hone in on the demographics for their 5 channels, the videos that triggered the most growth for them and so much more!

“You just gotta step out of your own self. Don’t be afraid.”
