Show notes

Welcome to a special episode of Tuxedo Time: Aftershow Edition, where we discuss behind the scenes of our most recent new series on our main YouTube channel, and answer some of your questions!

Over the last few months we've been rolling out with our new helicopter series "Heading: EAST" over on our main YouTube channel. In this special edition of Tuxedo Time we're answering your questions about Heading: EAST. We're talking about how we judge the success of a project of this scale, how we get sponsors, and how many logo mock-ups we made before landing on the final. Chris talks helicopter maintenance, how long until our overhaul and the science behind why we taxi on a runway and don't just fly straight up into the air.

Show notes

Thanks CUTS for sponsoring today's podcast! Get 15% off your order with our link: https://bit.ly/BCCuts

Today on the podcast we’re talking about our micro marketing agency Bold Creative, which we ran from 2009 - 2016. It was started by accident. This is the story.

Becki talks about how working at a marketing company lead to burn out early in her career as a designer which ultimately lead to wanting to start her own business. We discuss the original business idea which was a streetwear company, which ultimately failed due to overthinking. We deep dive on the screen-printing studio side of our business and talk about the one big job that did us in.

Later we talk about the differences between working with clients as a freelancer, and working with brands as a creator. We break down the important lessons we learned from our 7 years running our marketing company, and how those lessons cross over to doing YouTube full-time.

Ep.25 Can You Grow A YouTube Channel With Vlogs? Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

After watching some of our older videos we got inspired to discuss if it’s possible to grow a YouTube channel with just vlogs. We talk about the pros and cons of transitioning into vlogs on an established niche YouTube channel. We date ourselves as we talk about the olden days when Chris made his BMX videos on VHS tapes and sold them out of his backpack, but also chat about the challenges of making content during a time with no YouTube and no royalty free music platforms.

We answer the question “when you start making videos, should you copy someone else or figure out your own style right away?” AND we bring in our new segment Open Mic!
