Content Creators I Follow

YouTube is where I learn most of what I know outside of books and podcasts. These are the channels that have actually taught me something or kept me entertained enough to come back.

Also check out my podcast recommendations and book recommendations for the full picture of how I consume content.

AI Tools & Workflows

Ben AI

YouTube

One of my two go-to AI content creators. Practical, hands-on demos of AI tools and workflows that you can actually replicate. No hype, just useful stuff.

Paul J Lipski

YouTube

The other half of my AI content diet. Clear explanations, solid production, and consistently ahead of the curve on new tools and techniques.

Health & Self-Improvement

After School

YouTube

Distills long books and research into just the important lessons and takeaways. Saves you hours while giving you the core insights that actually matter.

The Andrew Huberman optimal morning routine video and the 'How Feedback Affects Performance' growth mindset episode are both top tier.

Finance & Investing

Tae Kim / The Financial Tortoise

YouTube

Long-term growth strategy investing explained clearly and patiently. Where I built a lot of my foundational investing knowledge. Good for anyone who wants to understand the 'why' behind buy-and-hold.

Tech & PC Hardware

JayzTwoCents

YouTube

One of the best channels for PC builds, hardware reviews, and tech deep dives. Genuine enthusiasm, real testing, and not afraid to call out bad products.

Linus Tech Tips / The WAN Show

YouTube

The tech content empire. The WAN Show podcast is great for weekly tech news discussion. LTT for reviews and builds. A staple of the tech YouTube ecosystem.

Gaming & Comedy

Viva La Dirt League (VLDL)

YouTube

If you're a nerd who plays D&D or video games and you like comedy, this is top tier. Golden nerd requirement. Their NPC sketches and Epic NPC Man series are genuinely hilarious.

Comedy & Music

Tom Cardy

YouTube

Musical comedy genius. His songs get stuck in your head for days and the production quality is way higher than it has any right to be. If you haven't seen 'Have You Checked Your Butthole,' clear your schedule.

Andrew Rousso

YouTube

Short-form comedy that's actually funny. Quick, sharp, and consistently lands. One of the few creators where I'll watch everything they put out.
