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.

Roc Nation, today we welcome Alex Subers. Alex spent 5 years shooting for the Philadelphia 76ers, and recently transitioned into shooting and strategizing content for Fanatics. Alex recently had the opportunity to shoot his second SLAM Magazine cover for Tyrese Maxey, the first one being for James Harden. Due to the nature of his job, Alex is around a lot of high profile athletes and celebrities, so we discuss how to navigate those situations.
