Everyone wants to be a content creator… but very few talk about the reality behind the grind. In this episode, Ashton and Art open up about their 10-year journey—what it’s really like to navigate YouTube, the do’s and don’ts of brand deals, the mistakes that nearly killed Trilogy Media before it started, and the advice we wish someone gave us when we were starting out.

From viral highs to crushing lows, collabs with legends, and embarrassing sponsor negotiations, this conversation is raw, unfiltered, and full of practical lessons for anyone who’s chasing the dream. Whether you’re an aspiring YouTuber, a struggling creator, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes chaos—this one’s for you.
