The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart
What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Sabri Suby. He's a serial entrepreneur, Shark Tank investor, and founder of King Kong, the digital agency that’s generated over $7.8 billion in sales for clients.
In this ep, Sabri breaks down the psychology behind brands people obsess over: why scarcity and friction actually make your product more desirable, why the first sale should start a relationship (not end it), and how premium positioning attracts better clients with less stress. We dive into cult-like brand building, the mistakes that keep most businesses broke, and how to craft offers so powerful that customers beg to pay you.
If you want to stop selling like everyone else, learn the blueprint luxury brands use to command premium pricing, and build a brand that customers line up for, this episode is your exact playbook.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Kolin Jones - founder and CEO of Amalfi Jets, one of the fastest-growing private aviation companies in the world. While most of his competitors stuck to polished ads and Google keywords, Kolin flipped the script and turned TikTok into his main growth engine, racking up billions of views with provocative office skits, culture clips, and disruptive behind-the-scenes content
Kolin breaks down how to engineer virality in one of the most conservative industries imaginable, why safe is actually risky, and how consistency and volume beat aesthetics every time. From declaring war on industry “dinosaurs” to turning impressions into real revenue, he shares the exact systems that scaled Amalfi Jets from startup to tens of millions.
If you want to understand how to make any business go viral - even the ones that look boring on the surface - this episode is packed with lessons you can put into practice today.

The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart
What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Heidi Somers - YouTuber, entrepreneur, and founder of Buffbunny Collection. Over the past nine years, she’s scaled her creator-led activewear brand into a movement that women around the world connect with.
Heidi breaks down how storytelling became her unfair advantage - from early campaign videos that made women cry, to collections inspired by childhood nostalgia, to the inclusive sizing approach that fixed a broken industry standard. She shares why “pretty girl, pretty outfit” isn’t enough, and how Buffbunny built community by making every woman feel seen.
We also dive into the blueprint any brand can use in 2025: Nail your storytelling, lean into influencer marketing, and create innovative products people can’t buy on Amazon. If you want to learn how to turn a vision into an empire, this episode is packed with lessons from one of the most successful women in fitness and fashion.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Christian Guzman — fitness YouTuber, entrepreneur, and founder of Alphalete, Alphaland, and 3D Energy. His creator-led brands have generated over half a billion dollars in revenue.
Christian shares how he went from sleeping on a futon in a failing gym to building Alphaland, and the hard lessons most people miss behind the $500M headlines - from chasing top-line revenue at the expense of profit, to nearly losing it all during Alphaland’s buildout, to why the right hires matter more than more hires.
We also dive into what creators misunderstand about building a brand, why influencer marketing is fading, and why YouTube is still king. If you want the blueprint for scaling beyond content and turning vision into a business, this one’s for you.

The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart
What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Maxx Chewning - fitness YouTuber, entrepreneur, and the founder of Sour Strips, one of the fastest-growing creator-led candy brands in the world.
In this episode, Maxx breaks down how he turned $50,000 and a secret “Project XX” into a candy empire that sold out 20,000 units in under an hour. We dive into the psychology of building a brand people actually want, why he kept his face off the packaging, and how obsessing over tiny details - from resealable bags to flavor tweaks - set Sour Strips apart from the competition.
Maxx also shares the reality of running a multimillion-dollar company without investors, why product-market fit matters more than follower count, and the behind-the-scenes risks that nearly broke the business (including changing the entire formula at scale). From influencer marketing hacks to lessons in cash flow, this episode is a raw playbook for turning passion into profit.
If you’ve ever thought about launching a brand, building something bigger than content, or just want the inside scoop on how a YouTuber created a $100M candy company, this one’s for you.

The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart
What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Seth Godin - Bestselling author, marketing legend, and the mind behind 21 straight bestsellers that have shaped how the world thinks about business, branding, and connection.
In this episode, Seth breaks down why attention without trust is worthless, why your audience size doesn’t matter as much as the right audience, and the real definition of marketing (hint: it’s not hustle or hype). We dive into finding your “smallest viable audience,” building stories people want to spread, and why being remarkable isn’t about gimmicks - it’s about meaning.
Seth also shares the mindset shift that saved his career, how to stand out without selling out, and why consistency beats authenticity when it comes to building a personal brand. From the psychology behind buying decisions to the tension that makes people take action, this episode is a masterclass in creating work that matters.
If you’re ready to stop chasing clicks and start building something worth talking about, this one’s for you.

The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart
What’s up, Rock Nation, today we're talking about A.I. - it's reshaping the entire creator economy, and most creators aren’t ready... Content is being pumped out at scale, algorithms are shifting daily, and brands are starting to care more about results than who actually made the content.
In this episode, we break down why the old way of growing on social media is no longer enough and what you can do to survive the coming wave. From content overload to the rise of A.I. influencers, we cover the biggest shifts happening right now, and how they’ll impact creators, freelancers, and creative businesses.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. We’re sharing the 10-step Creator Survival Plan to help you stand out, build a brand that lasts, and use A.I. as your copilot, not your replacement. Whether you're a creator or creative business owner, this episode is your playbook for staying relevant in a world that's changing fast. Let’s get into it.

The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart
What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we sit down with Mike Lazerow, the founder of Buddy Media, a billion-dollar startup he sold to Salesforce, and the author of Shoveling Sht: A Love Story, one of the realest takes on entrepreneurship you’ll ever read.
In this episode, Mike unpacks the hidden cost of success - from nearly dying after scaling too fast, to rebuilding his identity after stepping away from a company worth hundreds of millions. We go deep on why founders burn out, how to avoid it, and the mindset shift that saved his life.
We also talk about selling to Salesforce, the early days of Facebook and Instagram, building with Gary Vee, investing in Liquid Death, and his 6-part Go Gauge framework for picking winning startups.
If you’re building something big, or thinking about it, this conversation is your warning and your roadmap.

The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart
What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we sit down with Caleb Ralston — the brand strategist behind the scenes of Gary Vee and Alex Hormozi, and the creator of the most in-depth content strategy course on the internet (yes, the 6.5 hour one).
In this episode, Caleb unpacks how to build a brand people want to copy, not just follow. He breaks down why your social strategy is broken, how to create content that scales trust, and the exact framework he uses to help brands go from overlooked to undeniable.
We talk positioning, white space, and why copying top creators will always leave you in second place. Caleb also shares why he dropped a free masterclass instead of selling a course, how it generated 250+ leads overnight, and the long-term thinking that makes him stand out in the most saturated space on the internet.
If you’re done chasing views and ready to build something that actually lasts, this is where it begins.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we sit down with none other than Gary Vee – the king of content, CEO of Vayner Media - a $365M agency, and one of the most iconic voices in the creator economy.
In this episode, Gary breaks down exactly how to win on social media in 2025 - from why organic content is the lifeblood of any brand, to how creators should think about attention, brand vs sales, and why most people are one piece of content away from changing their life.
He also shares how he scaled VaynerMedia from nothing, why content volume beats perfection, and how humility became his greatest superpower in business. We go deep on platform strategy, AI influencers, creating at scale, and why 22 to 30 is your time to go all in on your dream.
If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or marketer trying to dominate attention in today’s world - this is the blueprint..

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we welcome the elusive and ultra talented Karl Shakur - a creator who went from sleeping in his car to shooting campaigns for Bugatti, hitting a million followers, and building one of the most distinct visual styles on Instagram.
Karl takes us deep into how he turned a $70K brand deal into proof-of-concept for his entire career, why he left architecture behind, and how he now approaches content like a business - with a 6-pillar strategy built to grow depth, not just followers. We talk about the balance between personal and commercial work, how to build longevity as a creative, and why injecting yourself into your work is the ultimate differentiator.
If you’re a photographer, filmmaker, or content creator trying to turn your art into a full-time career - this is the blueprint.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today’s episode is a masterclass in LinkedIn growth with Vin Matano — the founder of Creator Buzz and the guy quietly building one of the most powerful B2B creator agencies in the game. After leaving his comfy 9-to-5, Vin hit $750K in his first year and hasn’t looked back.
We get into all of it: how to actually go viral on LinkedIn, why your follower count doesn’t matter, how to package your posts for maximum reach, and why photographers and videographers are sleeping on the platform. If you’re a creator trying to land dream clients or brand deals, LinkedIn might be your biggest opportunity, and Vin breaks down the exact playbook for how to win.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Tejas - the filmmaker and creator behind one of the most thoughtful and vulnerable docuseries on YouTube. After spending 9 months crafting a series on attractiveness, Tejas pulled in over 1.7 million views and sparked thousands of deeply personal conversations in the comments. In this episode, we dive into how he built a YouTube channel rooted in depth, not just reach, and how he’s redefining what it means to build an audience that actually cares. We get into his creative process, the emotional cost of getting vulnerable online, and why most creators are thinking way too small.

The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart
What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Kane Kallaway — the creator and strategist behind one of the fastest-growing YouTube channels on the internet. After his first channel flopped, Kane rebuilt from the ground up, hit 100K subs in under 5 months, and turned his content into a full-blown business. In this episode, we go way beyond surface-level advice and break down the real blueprint: why most creators fail, how to build a six-figure audience, and what it takes to turn your content into cash. If you're tired of guessing what to post or feel stuck trying to grow your brand — this is your playbook.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Garrett and Chelsea - The married creative duo behind Stache.Haus, a New York-based creative agency. A year ago, they left everything behind in LA, and moved across the country to launch a premium boutique agency in one of the most competitive cities in the world. In this episode, we break down what Instagram doesn’t show you - the sleepless nights, financial pressure, and learning how to fight for your business and your relationship. If you’re dreaming of launching your own agency one day, or just a creative wanting to learn how to work with bigger brands, this is the real behind-the-scenes of what it actually takes.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Marshal Crews — the founder of Tamed Psychotic, a drop-based clothing brand doing $100K in 30 minutes without spending a dollar on ads. At 17, Marshal was homeless. Now, he’s built one of the most exciting underground streetwear brands online. In this episode, we dive into how he turned personal pain into creative fuel, why scarcity is the secret behind his brand’s success, and what every creator needs to know about building hype, community, and a movement without paid marketing.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today, we're sitting down with the internet’s best friend, JB Copeland. If you've ever scrolled past one of his videos, chances are, you stopped, laughed, and thought, damn, that’s so true. JB has a way of capturing the little moments we all experience but never put into words. His content isn’t just viral—it’s relatable in a way that makes you feel like he’s speaking directly to you.
Whether he's breaking down life’s everyday struggles or dropping advice that actually hits, JB has built a community by keeping it real. No fluff, no fake guru nonsense—just honest, refreshing takes that make you think and keep you coming back for more. Today, we’re diving into how he does it, why his content resonates so deeply, and what creators can learn from his approach.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today, we're sitting down with Jake Kassan. Jake is the founder of MVMT Watches, who built and sold his company for $300M, personally making $100M in the process. But after reaching what most would consider the pinnacle of success, he found himself lost - struggling with purpose, identity, and what came next.
In this episode, Jake opens up about the rise of MVMT and how he built a powerhouse brand from scratch, what it was like selling his company for $300 million, losing purpose after the sale, and how he rediscovered his passion through storytelling on YouTube.
This is one of the realest conversations we've had about success, identity, and reinvention. If you've ever wondered what happens after the big payday, this one's for you.

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today, we’re joined by Megan Batoon - a multifaceted creator, dancer, and TV host. After nearly a decade on YouTube, Megan landed a dream role as a host on Netflix’s The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals. From the outside, it looked like she was thriving, but behind the scenes, she was burnt out and needed a break. So, she stepped away from everything she had built and took a two-year hiatus. Now, she’s back—refreshed, recharged, and ready to create again on her own terms.

What’s up Rock Nation, today we’ve got the legend Chris Hau on the pod! Chris is a filmmaker, photographer, and entrepreneur who’s completely flipped the script on how creators work with brands. After building a 600K-subscriber YouTube channel and crushing it on social media, Chris realized that all the views, likes, and followers didn’t actually bring him happiness. Instead, he stepped back, redefined his goals, and went all-in on his production company, proving you don’t need massive teams to make massive moves. Chris loves to work with Travel and Tech brands like DJI, Fairmont, and One-Plus, and leverages his personal brand into six-figure production deals. Chris is all about creating meaningful projects, building community, and helping other creators find success while staying true to themselves. This episode is Chris like you've never heard him before.

What's up Rock Nation, we welcome back our second ever reoccurring guest, JT Barnett! Since being on the show last, JT has made some changes with his company CreatorX. They have transitioned into pairing creators with brands, who are now paying full time salaries to bring creators in house. We discuss what brands are looking for in creators, and it takes for a creator to be hired by these brands. He's also tripling down on content, and specifically YouTube, and feels as though lower production paired with speed and volume, are his X factor.

What's up Rock Nation, today we're talking about Kevin Kelly's theory of 1,000 true fans. The idea of 1,000,000 followers seems cool in theory, but to create a career out of this, you don't need 1,000,000 followers. You just need 1,000 true fans. We dive into what the theory is and how to garner a true fan.

Roc Nation, we haven't had a good ole fashion Rock Talk in a while. A lot has happened recently. Brayden got to shoot for Nike Swim, Chase was on set for another multi-million dollar Genesis commercial, and Kostas traveled to Portugal and started making YouTube videos again.

Today we welcome one of my talented creators out there, Nainoa Langer. Nainoa has been at this for a long time, and was at the forefront of the travel video space at a young age, when he was working with Beautiful Destinations. After a few years traveling the world with them, he decided to switch things up and dive into the music scene, where he linked up and started shooting for Illenium. He's been touring for a while, but focusing a lot of his efforts on getting his voice back and creating his own work again.

Our first guest of season 3 is someone we've admired for a while. Jakob Owens is a talented filmmaker from Arizona, who has spent the last decade focused on creating amazing videos and building businesses within the filmmaking space. With Tropic Colour and Prism Lens FX, he's tackled both digital assets and physical products. It's rare you get a chance to tap into the mind of someone who has built multiple seven figure businesses, so this episode is a special one for us!

Welcome back to Episode 98 of The 505 Podcast. Today we welcome Brendon Hayward. Brendon is an ex pro skater, who has a deep desire for travel and adventure. After tearing his ACL twice, and retiring from pro skateboarding, he wasn't sure what life had in store for him. We dive into the "ah-ha" moment Brendon had that gave him the clarity he was searching for to pursue his passions, and turn it into his career. After seven years of planning, he just pulled off one of his craziest stunts yet! In Brazil, he took a halfpipe 8,000 feet in the air via hot air balloon and skated it! This episode is jam packed with adventure.
Check out Brendon Here!

Roc Nation, today we welcome Alex Subers. Alex spent 5 years shooting for the Philadelphia 76ers, and recently transitioned into shooting and strategizing content for Fanatics. Alex recently had the opportunity to shoot his second SLAM Magazine cover for Tyrese Maxey, the first one being for James Harden. Due to the nature of his job, Alex is around a lot of high profile athletes and celebrities, so we discuss how to navigate those situations. We've been wanting to have Alex on for a while, so we are stoked to finally have made it happen!

Roc Nation, today we welcome an unbelievably talented filmmaker and director, Mitchell Mullins. He's man of many talents, he knows how to fly drones real well, how to shoot and edit with the best of them, and even rocks a mullet. We talked to Mitchell about transitioning from being on the road for 300 days creating travel content, to filming and directing incredible commercial work. Mitchel also just put out his first physical product, a premium notebook. This was one of our favorite convos to date!

Roc Nation, do we have a special one for you today! On today's episode, we welcome the legend Shortstache. He's built an incredible personal brand over the years and is well known for the incredible colors and tones in his photos (if you know, you know). He recently finished his first short film, Along The Way, which will be out on YouTube later this year. We asked him about what went into making the film, what he learned from his first short film, and why he filmed it in Norway. He also shared the struggles he's been facing lately about feeling complacent, and not feeling as though he is doing enough meaningful work. This is our longest episode to date, and one of our personal favorites!

There's a rock missing, but that's probably why this episode is so good. Kostas and Chase share some embarrassing stories from college, and then discuss the pros and cons of going to college. There's a lot of debate around whether or not college is worth it these days, especially if you are pursuing a career as a creative. So we wanted to weigh in and give our opinions.
Let us know in the comments - Do YOU feel college is worth it, and why?

What a year it has been! Sadly we were without our biggest rock, Chase, for this ep. He thought visiting his fam for the holidays is more important than our pod. We see where his priorities lie… Anyways, Brayden and Kostas put the team on their back ONCE AGAIN and bring you guys an absolute BANGER of a pod. We take a look back and reflect on how our 2021 was, and share some goals we both have set for ourselves that we plan to crush in the new year!

Boy do we wish we had this episode to listen to when we were younger. There are so many things we wish we could have told ourselves 10 years ago, and hindsight is always 20/20. On this episode, we take turns talking about advice we could have given our younger selves, as well as give ourselves props for a few things we're glad we did. This was a fun one to film, so we hope you enjoy it!
