An Unfiltered Conversation with TheStradman | The Iced Coffee Hour w/ Graham Stephan

Показать описание

James Lucas Condon, known as TheStradman on YouTube, has been creating automotive content for 12 years. He started his channel in 2012 without any cars or goals of monetization, simply wanting to share cool car videos with friends. His breakthrough came when a video about the Lamborghini Veneno hit a million views, leading to channel monetization. This sparked his obsession with YouTube, loving the filming, strategy, and creativity involved. Cars have always been the foundation of his content. James now owns 17 cars valued at around $6.3 million, with his most expensive car being a Koenigsegg Agera S. He is very open about his income, stating he makes around $2 million per year from YouTube. James recently built a house, which ended up costing about $1 million over the initial $2 million budget. He is in a relationship with his girlfriend Sophia and emphasizes the importance of family and friends in life. James acknowledges that life has gotten harder and less satisfying in some ways with more success and money, feeling pressure to keep producing fresh content and competing with larger, more corporate YouTube operations. He believes it's important to have dreams and goals, but not at the expense of everything else in life.
