Join Finn McKenty, a dynamic content creator and punk rock entrepreneur, as he takes you through his inspiring journey into the YouTube universe. Finn’s motivation stemmed from feeling unseen and underrepresented in the world of major brands like Nike, Red Bull, and Nintendo.

His journey began long before YouTube, with ventures into Series A and B fundraising, shaping his understanding of visibility and impact.

For Finn, YouTube wasn’t just about sharing content—it was a platform to amplify his voice and carve out a recognizable presence in a competitive landscape. Although music wasn’t his primary passion, he recognized its widespread appeal and leveraged his expertise to engage a diverse audience.

Join Finn McKenty as he dives deep into the strategies, challenges, and triumphs of building a personal brand on YouTube. Discover how he turned his quest for visibility into a thriving channel, inspiring countless others along the way.
