What Brands Actually Pay for a Sponsored Video in 2026 (w/ Chase Brogan)

This week I'm joined by Chase Brogan, who has built an 840,000 subscriber tech and gaming review channel and now works with 10 to 20 brands a week without ever pitching a single one. Chase breaks down exactly what he charges for a sponsored video, why he hands brands unlimited usage rights for free, and the Amazon affiliate quirk that once paid him a commission on a $5,000 boat trailer. He also tells the story of getting hacked out of his own channel for six weeks, losing every brand deal he had, and the eight months it took to recover financially. If you want brands coming to you instead of you chasing them, this one is worth your time.
