Ep. 45: The Weirdest Sponsorship Offers Shane Has Ever Gotten

This week, Shane and Caroline pull back the curtain on the weird, funny, and sometimes very questionable world of YouTube sponsorships.Shane shares some of the wildest brand emails he’s received over the years. Naturally, Caroline has thoughts. A lot of thoughts.They also talk about what actually makes a sponsorship a good fit, why Shane turns down so many offers, how some creators handle brand deals very differently, and why bad PR emails are way more entertaining than they should be.And because this is Wife Approved, the conversation somehow turns into a full review of their smart toilet, heated seats, bidets, separate bedrooms, robot vacuums, ruined floors, and Caroline’s birthday trip indecision.It’s behind-the-scenes creator talk, marriage banter, and bathroom technology all in one episode. Somehow, it works.Link for the smart toilet we discussed in the episode:https://horow.com/discount/SHANE?ref=fruinhlt(Get 20% off with this link!)NOTE: This description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video at no cost to you.
