Dr. Dabi, An Expert storytelling strategist, breaks down how tension, open loops, and emotional payoffs drive retention, sharing the systems behind crafting videos that hold attention from start to finish.

Noah, a high-volume YouTube automation operator and niche strategist, breaks down how he scales trendy faceless channels by treating them like “waves”: he launches lots of bets, doubles down aggressively when a topic spikes, and lets a small percentage of winners cover the losses. He explains the exact factory-style workflow (clusters, managers, Trello), the per-video cost structure, and the decision rules he uses to find viable niches fast—so channels can go from flatlining to 1M+ views in days and stack into six-figure months when the timing is right.Get 20% off 1of10 with code "POD20" at https://www.1of10.com/

Sprouht breaks down how he built a billion-view short-form machine by turning simple street interviews into ultra-relatable, highly shareable moments—and then repackaging them across every platform.

He also gets honest about the business: why viral shorts can pay almost nothing in AdSense, how consistency compounds trust (so one breakout can turn into massive follower growth), and how he scaled from early $500 integrations to multi-thousand-dollar brand deals once the format clicked.​Get 20% off 1of10 with code "POD20" at https://www.1of10.com/
