Welcome!
Hey there!
I'm Daryn.
Ready to start creating your content business
on your own terms? You're in the right place.
There has never been a better time to start on YouTube.
But you need the right story.
Are you a creator or entrepreneur with a story to tell who has been waiting for the right moment to build a business? 2025 marks a pivotal time in YouTube culture where several industries are converging. YouTube is not only the #2 search engine but also the #1 TV streaming platform, and the creator economy is now worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Are you starting a YouTube channel and struggling with your storytelling or content strategy? I can help.
Hi, I’m Daryn, a Writers Guild Award-winning writer, producer, and OG digital chick. I'm here to help creators and entrepreneurs use storytelling to grow a powerful, purposeful personal brand. Whether you're a content creator, a filmmaker, or entrepreneur, I get it—balancing creative work with real-life responsibilities is tough. That's why I’m on a mission to equip you with the strategies, tools, and insights you need to build your digital media business on your own terms.
But here's the thing...
Gone are the days of copying other creators for a quick viral hit. We are in the era of personalization and personal voice.
YouTube is unique. It is both the #1 TV streaming service and the #2 search engine, and content for social feeds and content for TV are converging in a way we haven't seen before. Viewers are watching a completely different way, and creators will need a new approach.
We both know social media is full of optimization tricks and get rich quick schemes, but in this new era of social media where the algorithms value WATCH TIME above all other metrics, the only way to build a sustainable digital content business will be through GOOD STORYTELLING.
I began my career on YouTube and have produced content across social media, TV, and live events that has garnered over 250 million views, critical acclaim from Variety, the Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, TV Insider, and named as one of the best shows on both YouTube and Vimeo, so I know what it takes to stand out in today’s competitive digital landscape. Join me as I share everything I’ve learned from years of working with top-tier media brands to help you find your unique voice and the story thread that connects you and your viewers.
