Quitting Your Job for YouTube: Pros, Cons & Runway With David Voorhies

Quitting Your Job for YouTube: Pros, Cons & Runway With David Voorhies

What does it actually look like to leave a stable corporate job and go full-time as a creator? In this episode I sit back down with David, a returning guest and acrylic paint pouring artist who just walked away from his job as a product owner at a software engineering firm. Here's the part nobody says out loud: he's currently making three to four times LESS than he did at his last interview on the show. And he'd do it again in a heartbeat.

About David:

David is an acrylic paint pouring artist and full-time creator. What started as a blog in 2019 became a YouTube channel that now pulls in thousands of views per video (with a couple approaching a million), and after seven years of building on the side, he recently left his role as a product owner at a software engineering firm to go all-in. He's launching an AI-built app for acrylic pourers and building out a course and community alongside his channel.
