A short YouTube interview between Mick Hunt and Mark Savant. Mick opens by framing Mark as an established digital-content creator and asks him to describe his journey into YouTube and content creation. The discussion will cover Mark's background and how he developed his channel and agency.
You are such a dynamic force in the world of digital media, social media, content creation, but it just didn't happen overnight.
Right.
So I'd love to hear a little bit about your journey.
I come from an insurance background. My entire life was an employee. And then at about age 35, I was like, you know, I'm tired of being yelled at on the phone all the time. I've tried different sorts of businesses, Mick. But I eventually was like, I'm listening to podcasts all the time. I'm learning a lot. These are fun. Let me try out a show. And within a month, I was speaking to presidential candidates, NFL players locally, the mayor of my city. I was like, this is awesome. I want to do more of this. And I just kept doing more and more of it, and now I've got a pretty mature agency. And now I've got a thriving YouTube channel with over 1.5 million views, over 5,000 subs. It's been a real blessing, a real honor to. To just do this. It's so much fun.
