At 16, @LillieKane became a legally emancipated minor, worked while finishing school, and had pretty modest expectations for what her future might look like. At one point, she said her biggest dream was simply to live in a van with a dog.
Today she has built a YouTube channel with nearly 500,000 subscribers, works alongside her husband, owns her home outright, and has created the kind of financial freedom she never imagined was possible growing up.
There are SO many interesting parts of Lillie's journey that we get into, including how she turned YouTube into a real business, the strategy that's helping her grow today, and some surprisingly smart ways she's using AI behind the scenes.
