About this episode

In this episode of The Dept. Omar sits down with Simon Caron better known as The Uneducated Economist, who built a 150K+ subscriber YouTube channel filming unedited videos from his car using a $100 iPhone.

With over 2,000 uploads and $40K+ earned from ad revenue last year, Simon shares real, relatable advice for everyday creators who want to start making content without fancy gear, editing skills, or a production team.

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect setup” to start… this episode is your green light.
