Stellantis and Cleetus in Talks To Enter Truck Series

[DavidKFla]

He talked about how it started and then developed on Dale jr’s podcast and it was pretty interesting.

He was going to school to become a lawyer and the podcasting stuff just kept exploding so he dropped out of school and went full in on it.

Parents were probably not too happy but it sure worked out for him

I think they helped him financially, in the beginning.


Damn shame I know this much about him.

He was working for them editing their videos while going to school. Since he was already editing their videos he asked if they didn’t mind if he did some of his own in his free time. They were totally fine with it.

His videos ended up taking off and going viral. Eventually he stopped working for them because his videos were making him so much more money. His videos kept going so well that he also decided to drop out of school and give YouTube influencer a try since he could always go back to school. The rest is history and he now has over 60 employees.

For the month of May he does a video every single day and has for several years calling it "Month of Freedom". This year every one got more than 1M views.....that's over 1M EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR 31 DAYS.....figure each video earns somewhere around $15K and you can do the math PLUS any sponsorships.

The dude figured out YT for sure. I watch on the treadmill at the gym after hitting weights to pass the time.

Month of Freedom was over 50M views by the end of the month!

The merch is the money maker. I ordered in March and received at the end of May… the $120k Escalade V probably made him a couple million.

it looks like he's selling so much merch that they can't keep up. They even built a larger warehouse and updated their process from what I heard?

Yeah. My$0.02 there is he has a guy running the warehouse that’s in way over his head but Cleetus is too nice to let him go. I’m sure he did great out of a garage, but he cannot run the operation they have now.
Cleetus distributes for other huge YouTubers too, so it’s a ton of product.
