About the episode

What does it REALLY take to run a successful YouTube channel? 👀

Golf Life’s Tubes joins Fozzy and Tom for an honest, entertaining look at the highs, lows and behind-the-scenes realities of life as a content creator.

From the pressure of chasing views and dealing with online criticism to booking big-name guests, paying footballers and keeping a successful YouTube channel running, the lads share their own experiences of building audiences and creating content in an increasingly competitive industry.

Plus, Tubes reveals his golfing nightmare with Jamie Vardy, shares hilarious stories about Declan Rice and opens up about the pressures of making every video a success.

Is being a full-time content creator really the dream job everyone thinks it is?
