Twenty random YouTubers I love. Now, you may be wondering, Antonio, okay, what does this
have to do with men style? Guys, it has a lot to do with men style and I'm going to
explain that here in a second.
So, one of the problems I see in our industry
is that so many people are close-minded, they stay within their lane and they're like, you
know what? I'm a suit kind of guy, I'm not going to going to learn anything from street
wear or, you know what? You're wrong, you can learn a lot from street wear. There are
so much going on in that industry and so much I learned from just looking at those guys
going out and checking out these other channels. Now, I'm not going to talk and a lot most
of the YouTubers I met weren't even in the fashion or style industry, but they were doing
things I'm like, wow, look at the way they're connecting with their audience, look at the
way that they're doing this. And you're going to be surprised who is on this list, but I
ask you to have an open mind. And in the comments after you've gone through
checked out some of these channels, I want to lay I want to hear from you which channel
was your favorite, which one did you subscribed to, hopefully quite a few of them because
I now know all of these content creators, I got to spend time with them personally,
I got to learn more about them and I have to say that all of them are amazing people.
First stop on this list, I've got Charlie over at Charisma on Command. I got to spend
a couple of days hanging out with Charlie. And, actually the year before we've exchanged
multiple e-mails, but when we got to spend time together, I realized how much I like
this guy. He is freaking awesome. I do recommend you check out. His videos, what's so great
about these and what I've learned from Charlie is that you can go really deep on an individual
and break out everything that makes them, you know, attractive, everything that makes
them energetic, everything that makes them a person that people want to be around. He
does this really well on his channel. Go check him out, a great guy.
Next stop, I've got Evan Carmichael over at EvanCarmichael.com. And the one thing the
one word I took from Evan is impact. This guy is wickedly smart. He's one of the few
people out there that I can be having a conversation with and realize he's more intense than me
and he can turn the situation so that you find you're agreeing with him. Literally he
had me agreeing that I should probably be putting out one video a day.
Now, Evan has a very interesting past. He actually created the company when he was 18,
sold it when he was 21. The guy has just had great success and he puts out three videos
a day. He is all about motivation all about impact. Go check out Evan.
Next stop, I've got Chad and Melissa Maker over at Clean My Space. Melissa just put out
an amazing book. And she's the face of the company, but Chad is the guy right behind
her making things happen. If you have a house, if you have a cluttering issue, if you need
to get your car clean, they have the video for you and they make it so simple they make
it so easy. But, from Melissa and Chad, I learned exactly how she is such a go getter.
I talked with her the process of actually writing her book. And I was at a mastermind
with Melissa and Chad, so I knew both of them going there, but to meet them in person to
actually see their book to go through it with them and to see just simply how hard they
work to build up their channel and their business was really inspiring for me.
Scott over at Nerdsync, I've talked about him before. Scott is an amazing guy. And what
I love is he takes something that's so niche something many of us will view as nerdy, I'm
a nerd myself though, I love comics. And to see this guy going deep in on a subject, what
I've learned from Scott is that you have to put in the research and time. This guy has
built up a following simply because he puts in twenty to forty hours of research per video
he puts out there going in talking with people about certain things. This guy really does
put in the effort and definitely you want to check out his channel.
Now, this next two I'm going to cheat a bit because if you've been to any of my events,
you've watched my channel for a time, I've talked about these guys before and I've met
them in person. This was kind of my crew when I shoot up; Eric Bandholz over at Beardbrand
and Thomas Frank over at College Info Geek. These guys are phenomenal. And I've met them
in person before. And it was nice to show up to an event and have people there that
are looking out for you that as soon as you pull up to the hotel, they're there to greet
you with a drink that they're you just know that you've got them on speed dial, that these
are guys that actually are introducing you to other people. And that's the one thing
I learned from these guys is that friends take care of friends.
Next stop, I've got Steve Ramsey over at Woodworking for Mere Mortals. Go check out his channel
if you want to build a chair, you want to build a table, you want to just start to work
with wood to build whatever you want. This guy has step-by-step tutorials. He makes it
simple, he makes it easy. Now, we had met couple of other times at other events. This
was the first event I actually got to spend time talking with Steve, learned a bit more
about his business. Really smart guy and I love what he's doing.
Now, everyone I just mentioned I loosely knew before going to the conference. This next
group of YouTubers I had no idea what their channel was, who they were, but I went there
with an open mind and I learned a lot from them.
So, let me introduce you guys to Basho over at Basho and Friends. I love what this guy
is doing. As soon as he told me that, it was like, wow, why didn't I think of this? He
actually is using song and sound to help kids learn languages. He focuses on Spanish, French,
and Mandarin. So, if you've got kids and you want them to pick up these languages through
song, you want to go check out his channel. His channel is just getting started.
I know as a father of multilingual children, I'm thinking, oh, my gosh, you need to be
doing Russian, you need to be doing this in Ukrainian because my kids have so much they
need to learn in these languages and kids naturally learn through songs. So, seeing
this guy use basically take song that I've seen done many times but do it in a unique
way was pretty inspiring. Next stop, we've got Nancy over at Math BFF
and, yes, that stands for Math Best Friends Forever. But, don't be fooled, she's an MIT
grad, she's deadly smart, and I love what she's doing on her channel. Go check it out
because I am going to steal the way that she actually puts up a piece of glass and she
writes on it, she takes very complex ideas in mathematics and makes them applicable.
So, if you're in high school, if you're in college and you're having trouble with your
math, you want to go check out her channel. She hasn't posted for a while, but she's going
to be putting out new videos here soon. And I just love it when I see someone who is just
so specific like that, killing it on YouTube. And I talked to her about building up a business.
I think she's lot got a lot of potential, so maybe send her a message just give her
a thumbs up, but Nancy is killing it on YouTube. Next stop, I've got Jess over at Painless
Golf. It's a small channel, but I love how specific she was to who she's targeting for
her channel. I talk about this a lot in business, but when I saw her channel I'm like, this
is amazing. She's targeting a demographic who already spends money on a hobby that these
guys really want to be good at it and she's helping them improve their swing basically
improve their fitness through yoga and other means so that they basically have painless
golfing sessions. I'm like this is really smart. She's based out of Vegas and she is
just a go getter make things happen, so go support Jess over at Painless Golf.
Next stop, I've got April over at Coolirpa. And, April I apologize if I mispronounced
that. But, there's a funny story here because I spotted her there with her boyfriend and
I done a little bit of research before about what fashion and style channels are going
to be there. She was one of the only ones that I knew and I checked out her channel
beforehand. So, I went up and introduce myself and lo
and behold, she's like, Antonio? My uncle is a huge fan of your channel. So, what I
learned from this is like, wow, like I don't have to be popular necessarily with a certain
demographic or people, but if someone in their family knows of us, then they kind of like
share all the I was like, wow, that's really cool. But, she is doing amazing things in
the women's style space. Go check out her channel, great place for women's fashion.
Next stop, I've got Elle over at The Lindquist. And it's funny we had a number of friends
in common, so we found that every meal time we were sitting at the same table hanging
out with the same people. We introduced ourselves and I realized she's a great person, came
in from Canada. Now, she has a family blog where she documents and talks about like just
life as a mom and she's got two kids. Her husband, he's a veterinarian. And we started
talking and having some funny stories. I went and checked out her channel and this
is what I learned that you can be very open with your audience and they'll deeper embrace
you. This woman gave birth on her channel. I was like, holy cow. But, the way that she
went about it, it was a natural birth, no pain killers, I believe in water. And I'm
just thinking, you know, this is something that's going to connect being a father of
four and my wife having looked at very different I mean it's a big deal when you're about to
have a kid. So, she's sharing all these information, she's got a huge just this great relationship
with her audience and I can learn a lot from Elle and I did.
Next stop, I've got Grant Thomson over at the King of Random. Now, I have to admit,
I had no idea who this guy was. My son was a big fan and I was there with my 12-year
old son, so he's like, hey, that's Grant, we need to go talk to him. And, lo and behold,
I have a lot in common with this guy. Both of us had gone through burnout in our business,
both of us had been pilots. And we spent probably thirty minutes to an hour talking about business,
talking about systems. This guy has a huge channel, probably like eight or nine million
subs. He's known as the King of Random. So, go check out his channel. He is a great guy.
I highly recommend you check out his channel. Next stop is Taras over at Crazy Russian Hacker.
And, again, I didn't know who this guy was. My son knew who he was, so I take my son over
and we start speaking with him. It turns out, Taras is half Ukrainian. And what I learned
from Taras is to have energy. This guy hits the I'm watching his videos, he's so excited
about all these experiments he's doing. And my son got to speak with him in Russian and
they were talking and it was just really cool to see somebody this down to earth that has,
again, a really big channel I think like nine million subs.
Next stop, I've got the guys over at BossLevel8. So, these are movie critics who critique movie
critics. And it was just interesting to see two guys out there busting their butts working
hard doing something that they believe in that they think there's going to be an audience
for. They're maybe a little bit ahead of their time, but I think if you watch a few of their
videos you see theyre actually really funny. And so, I -- I was going in I saw Scott with
Nerdsync works with them as well. But, these guys I just thought it was a really unique
concept, they're very passionate about it, so definitely go check them out.
Next stop, I've got Bill and Melissa and Gracie over at the Mommy and Gracie Show. So, the
Mommy and Gracie Show, it's a great mommy blog. I'm going to link to it down on the
comments. But, for me the real highlight was meeting Bill. It turns out Melissa sends me
a message. She's like, Antonio I see you're going to be at ClamourCon and I need to tell
you my husband is a huge fan. It turns out he really is. He had all my pocket squares,
the guy is just really into style. And I was able to spend a lot of time just talking with
them engaging with them learning about, you know, about my channel from his viewpoint.
He took me for a ride in a Tesla, me and my son, that was really cool. I've never actually
ridden a Tesla before. And it was just really humbling to meet a gentleman that was that
much into my channel and has learned so much. And, Bill, thank you very much. I really appreciate
the time you spent with me. So, these next four individuals, these are
guys that can teach you how to build a YouTube channel. I know many of you guys reached to
me you're asking me, Antonio, how can I do what you're doing on YouTube for my business
or for my personal, you know, life. I want to get onto YouTube. Go check out these guys.
So, first stop I've got Tim Schmoyer over at Video Creators. People ask me all the time,
Antonio, how did you double the size of your channel in less than a year? My answer is
Tim Schmoyer. That's all I need to say because this guy knows YouTube. But, most importantly
he helps you go into the analytics, he helps examine your content and say, you know what?
If you made these tweaks, you made these adjustments, then you will start to get popped up in the
algorithm, you'll get more people watching your videos, you've got more subscribers,
and it turns into a snowball. The guy is a YouTube genius. And I really thank him for
helping me build up my channel in the last year. And, if you haven't seen Video Creators,
guys, go check it out. I'll link to it down in the description.
Now, next stop I've got Derral Eves and I probably couldn't be saying the same thing
about Derral Eves, but I don't know him as well personally and I didn't hire him as a
coach, I hired Tim. But, Derral Eves is the real deal. And I know that he likes to work
with really large companies, but his YouTube channel is chock-full of great information
when it comes to simply understanding what's going to trigger the algorithm, knowing how
to out thumbnails. So, Derral Eves, if you want to better understand and grow a channel
on YouTube is a guy you want to follow. Next stop, I've got Benji and Sean over at
Video Influencers. So, if you're looking to have influence, you want to have impact, you
want to improve your income on YouTube, you need to be following these guys. I didn't
really know them very well. I had met Sean one other time, but I never met Benji and
I got to do an interview with him, I got to spend time hanging out with these guys for
hours. They're the real deal and they've got other channels which you can check out, but
I'm going to send you over to Video Influencers because I know a lot of you guys, again, you
want to get that edge, you want to learn how you can better run your channel. Follow Sean
and Benji, these guys they they've built up other channels and they really are good people
trying to help others, you know, just grow on YouTube.
Roberto Blake. So, I had to thank this guy for spending a lot of time with me. It was
late in the evening and I just started talking with them. I actually didn't know who he was,
I had an idea of who Roberto Blake was, I heard his name, but all of a sudden he introduced
himself, I'm like, wait a minute, I know about your channel, I know about your information.
He is one of the nicest and also a very creative guys, so maybe you may not connect with some
of the other teachers out there when it comes to YouTube, you feel they're too strict or
they're geared towards corporate. Roberto Blake is your guy if you are more
creative, if you want to hear from a guy that's going to take a different angle on some of
the stuff that everyone else is talking about, but he can make it very simple to understand.
So, go check out his channel, I'll link to it down in the description.
All right. So, now it's your turn. I want to hear from you down in the comments what
channel did I just introduce you to that you are now addicted to? Which channel is going
to become your new favorite? Which channel was your favorite out of all the twenty I
just talked about? Let me know in the comments. And, please reach out to those creators. Send
them a nice message tell them that they're doing an awesome job. One thing I noticed
with creators especially those that don't have crazy views they don't have a whole lot
of subscribers is that they wonder if their work is actually good. If and so, when you
send them a message, you just validate that, hey, I love what you're doing here, this is
going to motivate me, it's going to motivate my wife, this is a great channel for my kids,
it makes it gives them the energy to keep going. I know it gave me the energy to keep
going when I was first starting my channel. And, you know, I apologize if I missed anyone
and I met you at ClamourCon. It was a great event.
Guys, that's it. Take care. I'll see you in the next video.
