She then tells the story of how she began making videos for her students and eventually realized that the humor and creativity she used when teaching German had a much broader appeal and was able to grow her YouTube channel to over 340,000 subscribers. She breaks down the techniques she used to build her audience and makes specific tactical recommendations ranging from posting frequency to production quality to marketing strategies to attract new viewers. She then shares the moment when she first realized she could monetize her YouTube channel, and how she grew that from for her first $3 to a six-figure annual income. She then explains how she listened to the needs of her audience, and created multiple courses to fill those needs that she was then able to market and sell directly to her YouTube audience. She also talks about her travel life, why she has chosen to travel the world very slowly over the last 5 years, what her favorite travel destinations have been, and why she chose to join the Remote Year program to travel the world with a community of nomads for all of 2019.

The Maverick Show is a global travel podcast about what really happens when people cross borders and build lives across cultures. Hosted by full-time world traveler Matt Bowles, each episode features intimate, unfiltered conversations (often over a bottle of wine) exploring the human stories behind global travel and what the journey teaches us about the world and ourselves.  Guests include expats, digital nomads, women and diaspora storytellers, worldschooling families, and human rights advocates, all sharing travel stories that are funny, moving, and deeply human.  In addition to hearing about extraordinary places and the people who live there, you’ll learn what it’s really like to move abroad, build an expat life, or travel long-term, as guests open up about their personal journeys navigating culture, race, power, identity, and belonging in an unequal world. If you’ve ever felt that travel changes you in ways no one talks about, you’re in the right place.  The Maverick Show hit the Top 100 on Apple Podcasts (including #1 in Places & Travel), was ranked in the Top 1% of podcasts globally by Listen Notes, and was named the #1 Digital Nomad Podcast and #1 Remote Work Podcast by Million Podcasts — with hundreds of five-star listener reviews.
