What is your channel called and what is it about?

My channel is called Dads With Attitude which is a fun and comedy-based channel that comes from the views of a father. It’s a mix of being a father and husband and reminiscing how the good old days of the 80s and 90s were with a lot of sarcasm.

When did you start it? What motivated you at the beginning?

I started my channel back in 2014 when my daughter was born. While I was working as a full-time Producer at Rogers Media I saw the big potential in social media and knew this could be something I can eventually make a new career out of.

Who were you inspired by? Any influences?

Ever since I was young I would grab a camera and begin to make comedy films. I think what really inspired me was the fact I can now have an audience. I truly do make these videos for myself first. Making content is my Zen.

How would you describe your audience?

My audience is THE BEST. I have a huge respect for my “Supporters”. I call them supporters instead of followers because that is what they truly are. I am very happy and grateful to have this opportunity where I get to live my dream of making content.

What is your creative process? Do you have people who work with you?

I think just my life is my creative process. It’s funny how so many people can relate to the comedy sketches I create. Who knew I was not alone when my kids felt like they needed to fight the Orcs of Moria from LOTR just to wear a pair of jeans? The enjoyment, drama, hilarity and insanity of parenting on a daily is the content lol.

How do you monetize your content? Do you also have another job?

I have been very blessed to work with so many great companies and PR agencies to keep my channel running and help me make this a living. On top of my channel, I run a media business that helps bring their campaign visions alive.

What is your favourite piece of content you have created?

I honestly love everything I post but recently I did this one video as I mentioned above in regards to how my son would act if I asked him to wear a pair of jeans. I mimicked the exact reaction and it seemed like it became a huge hit as it’s very relatable to parents.

What is the best part about what you do? What is the worst part?

The best part is the fact I have more freedom and time to be able to be with my family. I get to live my dream of putting smiles on people’s faces and creating content I truly love. The downfall of owning your own business and running a channel full-time is not knowing what comes next.

What are your future plans for your channel?

I actually started my blog. I am very excited about this as I have been doing some fun lifestyle vlogs and I know it’s something different from my Instagram and TikTok content but I have the opportunity to attend so many fun events and get to review new products that I figured why not put my own twist and humour into these lifestyle videos and see what comes out of it.

Where can we follow you?

Instagram | TikTok

PAY IT FORWARD: What is another Canadian content creator that you love?

There are so many creators I truly love and respect. I have been able to meet so many amazing people throughout the years who are truly successful and some who have helped me along the way. I like to give an honourable mention to a creator I see hustling every day and who once helped me with some of our home paint needs. Her name is Mary Beth Trendos and her account is @trendosinteriors on Instagram. She is a wizard with paint and taking old furniture and turning it into masterpieces. She’s also a small business owner and I always love to support and help them strive.
