The Digital Replay: Jaclyn Forbes on Friendship, Failures, and Life Online

While Torri is off for Labour Day weekend, we’re pressing replay on a very special That Digital Take episode: Torri’s first-ever guest, best friend, and longtime content creator Jaclyn Forbes. Before we’re back with brand-new episodes next week, revisit the conversation that helped kick off TDT’s guest era. — Jaclyn Forbes has been creating online since the early days of YouTube — and in this episode, she joins Torri to unpack what it really takes to build a lasting career on the internet. The best friends get into Jaclyn’s evolution as a creator, the iconic moments that shaped her career, and the lessons she’s learned through years of trial and error. They also talk about navigating genuine friendships in an industry that can sometimes feel anything but genuine, keeping up with the relentless pace of content creation, and staying authentic while growing online. And, of course, they tackle one of the biggest questions in social media: can you actually crack the code to consistent virality? Jaclyn thinks you can. From embracing the weird, wacky parts of yourself online to evolving your content as you evolve in real life, this conversation is a throwback worth pressing replay on. New episodes of That Digital Take return next week!
