145. Meet The YouTuber Who Became a Netflix Star Then Quit Everything ft. Megan Batoon

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.
