In this behind‑the‑scenes vlog, Evan Carmichael chronicles his second day at the creators’ conference ClamourCon. He starts with an early‑morning breakfast hosted by Antonio of Real Men Real Style, where he meets fellow creators like Justin, Charisma on Command, and others. Throughout the day Evan highlights his role as a connector, arranging impromptu interviews and matching creators for potential collaborations. He shares a detailed one‑to‑one Instagram outreach routine, sending personalized video messages to recent story viewers to deepen fan engagement. The vlog covers key conference sessions, including Roberto Blake’s workshop on YouTube channel design and branding, and Derral Eves’s talk on the YouTube algorithm, as well as a session on leveraging other platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) to drive attention away from YouTube. Interspersed are personal moments with his wife Nina, emphasizing frequent check‑ins while traveling, and lighter social activities such as an ice‑cream social, a pool party, and a golf‑cart ride. Evan wraps up the day reflecting on the fatigue from constant talking, his continued fan outreach, and plans for the remaining conference days.

This video is about me, Nina, okay? Stop taking all the attention. Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning. Bit of a rough sleep last night. My alarm went off at 5 in the morning. Because it was still on from the day before when I had to wake up at 5 AM to get here. But it's okay. Antonio from Real Men Real Style invited everyone for breakfast. So I'm going to go try to find them and get started. Yesterday was just about meeting people. Today we're actually going to get some content. So I'm excited. Got some Starbucks. Ready to go. In his town is the best bacon in the world. I just heard that. Yeah. Newsies bacon. You gotta check it out. Breakfast is still going on. Lots of good conversation. This guy's causing trouble though. I'm trying. This guy's causing trouble like crazy. Justin. What's your thing again? Science? It's called Fascinate. That's the name of the science channel. Yeah, what's your shirt? It's like science. Science, not silence. Science, not silence. Look at this one again, man. What's that? It's Neil deMas Tyson. You know, the science communicator dude? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. I love asteroids with the A crossed out. Complete gym bro, you know. This guy, this guy. So lots of fun. You know, nobody's filming inside any of these things, so again, I don't want to be the guy filming everybody while they're trying to relax and chill. But lots of really cool conversations with people. Gonna head to the first session. Actually gonna go back to the room, drop off some stuff, and head to the first session and see. One of the things that is a lot of fun is I'm connecting people together, which is strange for me because I don't really know that many people here. But as I have breakfast with somebody, he could be a good interview on this other guy's channel, and it's good. It's working out. It's so fun. I'm excited. First up, my man Roberto Blake is doing a session on designing and branding your YouTube channel. He's just getting set up here. So I'm waiting to do an interview right now, and one of the things that I like to do on my breaks in between sessions when I'm waiting— these are the guys we're interviewing— is I go on Instagram, I look at people who've been viewing my stories recently, and I follow them and just send them a message. Just something simple as, "Hey Julie, thank you for the love on Instagram, really appreciate it. I love your bio." Some photos of them in the bio. "And I hope you have an amazing day. Continue to believe." That's it. So I've been sending out, I don't know, I've sent out probably 100 of them or so between today and yesterday. And we get good response. Let me show you. "Life between two worlds. Thank you so much Evan. I am so scared to post on my personal account because I don't think my family is going to be happy." when they read it. I feel you, but you gotta decide whether you're gonna live your life or your family's version of your life. Make a powerful choice today. Let's see it. Believe it. That's what I do. That's what I do. Let's find another one. I'll show you. Supporting the fans. What's this one? Hey Evan, wow, very surprised to get a video message. Thanks a lot, bro. Send a heart. Okay, I'll show you. This is what I do. This is exactly what I do. I go to my story. Scroll up. Okay, I just posted that. 9 people seen it. I think I've added everybody here. Let's go back. Okay. I'll look at this. I'll go find someone. It's Dilip. Dilip is a programmer with 4 posts and 103 followers. Let's do it. So I'm gonna follow him and I'm gonna make a video. This is it. Here we go. I'll show you what I'm gonna do. Ready? Hey Dilip, what's up? It's Evan. Just wanna say thanks for the love Instagram. Really appreciate that. Hope you're having an amazing Wednesday. I want to see something special out of you today. What can you do today to make it awesome? Let's see it. Bring it, bring it. Believe, man. That's it. Rinse and repeat over and over and over and over and over again. The one-to-one connections. And it has an impact. So when you have downtime, that's what I do on my downtime. Hopefully you guys can do something too. Time for lunch. Lunch with Jessica and Charley. So I forget where I left off with you guys. It's been a couple great events. Derral Eves had a good one on the YouTube algorithm that was standing room only, and I got there late, so I had to sit on the floor. I was talking with the Charisma on Command guys, and then— Evan Carmichael, Believe Nation! Hey guys, Believe Nation! I'm a believer, yes! How's it going? Good, man. Good, good, good. Subscribe. I mean, you probably already are. Cheers. Fun people here. The second one I went to was about getting attention off of YouTube and using the other platforms to help you do that. I'm thinking about my own strategy around Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and maybe stepping that up a bit. Got some ideas I'm gonna try to apply, so we'll see how that goes. Next up, this is supposed to be an ice cream social brought to you by Nintendo, so I'm gonna go check We're going to try to find that, get some free ice cream. I'm ready to eat. There's no more ice cream. The ice cream is done. It's very sad. Roberto's sad too. Yes, I am. Roberto told me about the ice cream. I wanted the ice cream so bad. Yeah. It looked good, actually. I saw people with cones. It looked good. So, sad. We'll see what's next. Roberto's taking some B-roll, and we decided we're going to go get some food. Go get some food, do an interview. What are these guys riding? Food, interview. Beeps were for obstacle avoidance. I might want to get on one of those. I think it's for us to— yeah, us avoidance. Food, interview, relax, and then pool party. Look at how beautiful this park is, eh? Sitting on a golf course in Palm Springs. We managed to hop a ride on the golf cart. Heart. Getting there the fast way. So that was super fun with Roberto. Had an awesome meal. I'm stuffed. We did an interview for his channel that's going to go up, and I'm excited for that. Hey everybody, this is Roberto Blake from RobertoBlake.com, helping you create something awesome today with my friend and special guest Evan Carmichael. And the next thing I had to do was talk to the wife. It's important. It's important to talk to the wife. I was told it's important to talk to the wife. Hey, it's Nina! Everybody misses Nina. Okay, that's enough airtime, Nina. Okay, this video is about me, Nina. Okay, stop taking all the attention. We love Nina. You have to check in with your wife daily if you're going away. More than daily, right, Nina? Like every Like every 5 minutes you have to check in with your wife. Oh wait, they can't hear you because you're in my headphones. Okay, okay, I'm gonna talk to my wife, guys. Thank you for the love. Oh, so had a great chat with Nina. It was good to see her. I miss her. We had some good time to chat there. Um, 2 more days, then I'll be back. Good day overall. Losing my voice, so much talking, chat chat chat chat. And when I wasn't chatting, I was leaving messages on Instagram and Twitter and to fans, so it was really good. I'm starting to crash. It is— can you see the time there? 7:17, which is 10:17 for me. The group is out at a trampoline park. I don't do trampoline parks because I think I have an inner ear imbalance or something. I get dizzy, just like on cruise ships. I get a little nauseous. So I decided I would stay home. There's another after-party happening at 9 or 10 tonight, which would be like 12 or 1 for me. So I think I'm gonna pack in a little bit early today, relax. I already have my CNN on. There's a commercial. And, uh, yeah, shower, relax, and have a great day tomorrow.
