🎙️ Episode 13 - Find what success means to you - Cory Williams
For this episode, I sat down with Cory Williams — the one man powerhouse behind Silly Crocodile, early internet creator and one of the first people to turn YouTube into a full-time path — long before anyone really knew what that meant.
But this conversation isn’t just about platforms or success. It’s about instinct. About believing in yourself and the originality of your own voice.
We talk about:
✨ Creating Your Own Path
Cory was making videos before “content creator” was even a thing — driven more by curiosity and connection than any clear outcome.
🎬 Following the Shift
From MySpace to YouTube, Cory talks about recognizing a change in how people connect — and having the courage to move with it.
🤝 Building Real Connection
At the heart of it all is people. This isn’t about platforms — it’s about creating something honest enough that people resonate with it.
💡 Listening to Your Instincts
Before there were rules or roadmaps, Cory relied on instinct — paying attention to what felt right, even when it didn’t make logical sense, like turning down a 5 million dollar offer.
This episode is about being human, about trusting yourself, staying open, and keeping track of why you do what you do.
