Uncle Jhonn: The Face of DIY Content

Viral DIY creator Uncle Jhonn (@unclejhonn_) joins CREATOR: The Podcast to discuss how he built 5 million followers in just one year by helping his neighbors for free. In this episode, Uncle Jhonn shares his incredible journey from selling women's beauty products to becoming a viral construction creator, including how his very first fence video for his actual neighbor gained 6 million views and 80,000 followers in one week. Host Ross Borden explores how Uncle Jhonn taught himself construction skills, his decision to give away everything for free (including build plans), and how he selects his neighbors to help. Uncle Jhonn offers a refreshing perspective on social media comparison culture and the importance of "enjoying the journey" rather than seeking instant success. Whether you're a content creator looking for authentic growth strategies or someone interested in community building and skilled trades, this conversation delivers inspiring insights on turning your passion into purpose while genuinely helping others.
