BAD Marketing Podcast with Eddie Maalouf
55: From Slums to Cartel Lands: Transforming Risk into Views - Arab
11 Apr 2024
We're back with the THIRD episode of Eddie's brother, Arab, the fearless YouTuber who dives headfirst into the world's riskiest places to bring back stories that blow your mind. Arab's not your typical traveler; he's out there making friends with people in dangerous slums and even spending days with the Mexican cartel. His adventures are wild, but getting them on YouTube? That's a whole other story, thanks to all the rules about what you can and can't show. In this episode, Arab deep dives on how he turns his adrenaline-pumping experiences into viral videos that millions watch. We talk about the fine line between creating content that's real and raw versus keeping it safe for the web. Arab shares his struggles and successes, giving us a peek into his life as a creator who's always pushing the limits. Tune in to hear all about Arab's journey, the behind-the-scenes of making content that stands out, and how he manages to keep his cool when things get super intense. It's a conversation filled with laughs, insights, and a few edge-of-your-seat moments that you won't want to miss.
