He Has 7 Kids, 1M Subscribers, and Zero Dentist Visits. Meet Our Producer Nathaniel Dodson!

from Open Wide: Unfiltered Opinions between a Dentist and her Patient

He edits every episode, hears every blooper, and has been watching this show grow from the very first awkward mic check — and today, Nate Dodson finally gets a seat at the table. Nate is the second of eight kids from Reading, PA, a self-taught photographer and graphic designer who built a YouTube channel from zero to over a million subscribers teaching himself Photoshop at 15, sat in Bill Gates' chair at Microsoft HQ, and, as it turns out, has never once been to the dentist. He's also somehow doing all of this while raising seven kids under 10. This episode is the behind-the-curtain conversation you didn't know you needed.In this conversation, Jenny and Susan get Nate's honest take on what it actually takes to grow something from nothing, why success almost never looks like you planned it, and what he genuinely thinks about AI (hint: he wears an analog watch on purpose). He also drops one piece of advice near the end that sounds like podcast strategy but hits way harder than that, it's really about every long-term relationship in your life. If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of this show, or you just need to hear from someone who started with a 5-cent Google check and didn't quit, this one's for you.
