Ian, along with his friend Anthony, was the co-founder of the sketch comedy YouTube channel Smosh. Smosh is among the most successful channels in the history of YouTube. It launched less than a year after the debut of YouTube itself, it grew into a brand with associated channels, including: Smosh Pit, Smosh Games, and SmoshCast. Collectively, the Smosh brand has accumulated over 24 million subscribers and over 8 billion views.
In addition to his massive success with Smosh, Ian also has many acting, writing, and producing credits to his name, including: Smosh the Movie, Ghost Mates, and the blockbuster Angry Birds movie where he was the voice for Bubbles.
Ian’s father, Stephan, is a terrific guy. In this episode, Stephan and I cover a lot of ground, including: the value of reading to your kids, instilling a value of integrity, and how Stephan guided Ian during his first negotiation for a corporate sponsorship opportunity.
