What Happens After You Redefine a Genre — Any Austin

Any Austin changed the rules of gaming content on YouTube. So what happens after that? In his return to Always Choose Orange, Austin reflects on the growth and influence of his channel over the past year. We talk about the benefits and challenges of bringing on additional team members, the one thing he believes should be the true goal of time management, and how he uses the rise of imitators as competitive fuel rather than a distraction. During the second half of our conversation, I ask Austin a series of questions submitted by his audience. We examine how his videos evolve from draft to draft, a specific moment in Mega Man 2 that has stuck with him since childhood, and the likelihood of ever seeing another episode of Eggbusters. To wrap things up, we do a quick career retrospective using the presidents on Mount Rushmore as a loose metaphor for key milestones in his YouTube journey.
