The Grey NATO – 144 – A Rolex For 1 Million Subscribers With Jakub From The Stright Pipes

Episode 144 features an extra special chat episode with one-half of the wonderful – and Canadian! – team that hosts and creates videos for The Straight Pipes YouTube channel, Jakub Wrobel! The Straight Pipes is one of James’ fav car youtube channels and Jakub (along with his excellent co-host Yuri) makes some of the more fun-to-watch and down-to-earth car reviews on YouTube. In an in-depth chat that forms the middle of this episode, Jakub and James dig into the reality of making a living on YouTube, the intricacies of moving from a conventional job to that of a self-driven content creator, and of course, the story behind the Rolex that Jakub got to celebrate hitting 1 million subscribers (and many more watches he has owned along the way).

First up, Jason and James have some show updates (big news!) and Jason gives us an update on Depth Charge and how the book (and other developments) are progressing. After the chat with Jakub, stay in the mix for a gadget-heavy Final Notes that will have you thinking like a spy while snapping the freshest of selfies. A huge TGN thank you to Jakub for being on the show – please take a moment to subscribe at the links below. Other than that, thanks for listening and just press play.
