In this episode of Get In, I hosted  Suraj Choudhary, founder of The Normies, a YouTube channel that has amassed nearly a million subscribers. 

Suraj shares his journey from an accidental YouTuber to building a full-fledged media brand in Indiana. 

You are going to learn about:

• Suraj’s  early challenges, 

• The importance of community when working in content

They also touch on the logistics of running a YouTube channel in Indiana versus larger markets like LA, the significance of Patreon for their business model, and the value of maintaining genuine friendships within the team.
