137. Making Money is On Easy Mode in 2025, Just Start a Personal Brand ft. Omar Eltakrori

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.You definitely need to cop some Lexar Memory cards: Lexar 128GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SD: https://bhpho.to/3ZzXaVGLexar 256GB Professional 1800x UHS-II SD: https://bhpho.to/458WOquLexar 320GB Professional CFexpress Type A Card GOLD: https://bhpho.to/48owD1TLexar Professional CFexpress Type A / SD USB 3.2 Gen 2 Reader: https://bhpho.to/46nmlx6The Creator Pricing Guide - The No BS Guide to Pricing Your Creative ServicesCoupon Code: ROCKNATION10 gets you $10 off at checkout for the bouldershttps://courses.thecreatorcoach.com/pricing-guideCollab with Artlist and get 2 extra months for free here:https://artlist.io/artlist-70446?artlist_aid=the505podcast_2970&utm_source=affiliate_p&utm_medium=the505podcast_2970&utm_campaign=the505podcast_2970Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/xgEAzkqAvsKostas’ Amazon Storefront:https://amzn.to/3GhId2515% OFF Prism Lens FX with code: KOSTAS15https://bit.ly/42sNdejCOP THE BFIGGY "ESSENTIALS" SFX PACK HERE: https://courses.thecreatorcoach.com/BFIGGYSFXPACKIf you liked this episode please send it to a friend and take a screenshot for your story!

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.
