How does it feel to reach this 1 Million Subscriber Milestone?

Stove: Honestly it still feels surreal that I have 1 million people who subscribed to me. My goal was to hit 100K by the end of 2019. And the fact I have surpassed it by 10 times is unbelievable! I am super thankful to all of the fans that have followed and joined me on this journey and couldn’t have done it for my teammates at Team RAR.

What are you most excited about in the future?

Stove: I’m most excited about collaborating with more influencers in this space because after collabing with a handful of youtubers, I’ve realized it’s fun making videos with all sorts of people.

What are your goals with the channel?

Stove: My goal is to keep growing of course but also to explore different areas. I’m particularly excited about diving into more content with food and art, definitely want to experiment with the intersection of different genres and niches.

What advice would you give to creatives aspiring to produce content on Youtube and social media?

Stove: I would say to not be discouraged by views, but to just keep grinding and producing videos you love. Consistency is key and just regularly put stuff out for others to see, you’ll learn what works and doesn’t work. Over time, people will eventually recognize the hard work and passion you put into your videos.
