Defining Success and Building A Comedy Empire with Broden Kelly

<p>This week we&#39;re joined by Broden Kelly - actor, comedian, and member of Aunty Donna, the sketch group that turned a YouTube channel with no network behind it into a Netflix series, a production company and their own streaming platform, Grouse House. </p><p>Broden takes us back to the unpaid years, the two-star review that nearly finished them, and the slow build to a sold-out Netflix deal - plus the parts nobody sees: burnout from an old &quot;say yes to everything&quot; mindset, and why he still feels like he&#39;s making half of it up as he goes. </p><p>We also unpack &quot;perceived success”, how one big overseas win can grow your local audience more than the numbers ever could. </p><p>A genuinely honest look at what building something with business partners actually feels like.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>References mentioned</strong></p><p><strong>●  </strong>Aunty Donna&#39;s Big Ol&#39; House of Fun — Netflix, 2020</p><p><strong>●  </strong>Grouse House — Aunty Donna&#39;s Australian comedy streaming platform, launched March 2026</p><p><strong>●  </strong>Sam Campbell — referenced as an example of finding the right context to be seen</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Broden &amp; Aunty Donna</strong></p><p>@thefootywithbrodenkelly</p><p>@theauntydonnagallery</p><p><a href="https://auntydonna.com/"><u>https://auntydonna.com</u></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with In Good Company</strong></p><p>linktr.ee/youreingoodcompany</p><p><br></p>
