I've known George for a while as he regularly pops up on podcasts and he's always proven that he understands how to write for YouTube but I was way more interested in finding out how he transitioned in front of the camera. Why he put all his knowledge into fairly cheap custom gpts that make his frameworks accessible to everyone and what success really looks like after working with big creators.What I realized in recording and editing this episode is that there are two distinct conversations on this channel. One where I talk to creators to understand how they achieved success and ones where it's a deep dive into the mechanics of the platform with behind the scenes talent. This conversation is a rare combination of both and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 💛 Valentin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Who is George Blackman1:02 From Ghost Writer to Main Character4:41 The Channel Launch Strategy9:57 The Reality Behind the Content19:11 The Ali Abdaal Effect22:53 The Business of Being a Creator25:07 The Challenges & Opportunities of AI29:33 Navigating the Messy Middle37:48 What Does Success Look Like?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------About the ChannelHi, I’m Valentin.
