In this episode, we catch up with Ryan Trahan midway through 50 States in 50 Days—his most ambitious YouTube series yet. Ryan breaks down how he's producing 20–30 minute daily videos while traveling to a new state every day, all to raise money for St. Jude (over $3.6M so far). We talk about building repeatable formats, interactive storytelling, and why this feels like YouTube’s version of “watercooler TV.” Plus, Ryan shares the discipline and intention behind the series—and what it’s taught him about impact, creativity, and generosity.
