Creator Support
Hosted by Creator Support
A therapy-style workshop where two seasoned creators help fellow YouTubers diagnose and solve their biggest channel problems.
This is a live-recorded consulting session presented as a YouTube show. Each episode features a content creator who calls in with a specific strategic problem—burnout, stalled growth, a failed pivot, or monetization issues. Colin and Samir act as creator therapists, using business frameworks and a whiteboard to help the guest find clarity and a new direction for their channel.
“Unlike typical interview shows, Creator Support is a live, unscripted problem-solving session. The focus is entirely on the guest's specific, tangible business problem, making each episode a practical case study in creator strategy rather than a biographical interview.”
Who hosts this show
Creator Support is hosted by Colin Rosenblum and Samir Chaudry, filmmakers and entrepreneurs who have become trusted voices in the creator economy. After building and selling their first YouTube channel, The Lacrosse Network, they launched a new channel under their own names to document the stories of other creators. This show is a spin-off of their main interview series, focusing on live, consultative workshopping sessions with creators facing strategic challenges.

Notable episodes
- 01Is This The End of the Botez Sisters?
A classic example of the show's format applied to creator burnout and partnership misalignment, introducing the 'Ikigai' framework to diagnose the problem.
- 02I Left 8M Subs to Relearn YouTube
This episode tackles the challenge of pivoting from a massive, established channel to a new solo venture, using the 'quarter-inch drill bit' analogy to clarify audience value.
- 03She Called Us to Save Her Channel
A focused session on a creator whose channel growth stalled after a content pivot, showcasing the hosts' advice on defining an audience and packaging videos.
What you'll be asked on this show
The session begins with a direct, diagnostic opening: "What do you make and what is your problem?" The hosts listen intently as the creator explains their situation, then reframe the issue using established business or psychological frameworks like 'Ikigai' or the 'Jobs to be Done' theory. They use a whiteboard to visualize the problem and potential solutions, creating a shared workspace with the guest. They are not afraid to ask challenging, almost confrontational questions (e.g., "Do you actually want a podcast?") to force the guest to confront their own assumptions. The session concludes not with a simple summary, but with a newly clarified strategic direction for the guest to pursue.
The show is a two-on-one video call, with one host (usually Samir) leading the structured consultation while the other (Colin) observes and adds key insights. They frequently use a physical or digital whiteboard to map out ideas, giving it a workshop or classroom feel. The format follows a clear arc: diagnosis of the core problem, application of a framework, and delivery of actionable advice.
