141. The Dark Side of Being a Successful YouTuber ft. Chris Hau

141. The Dark Side of Being a Successful YouTuber ft. Chris Hau

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.
