In this episode, I sit down with YouTube storytelling master Johnny
Harris to discover how he creates his videos. Johnny Harris has
proven he can make pretty much anything go viral, from breakfast
and lottery tickets to bread-making and extra virgin olive oil. We
look at his entire creative process, breaking down exactly what
makes his storytelling so addicting to watch. We cover the complete
workflow: writing, drafting, editing, visual composition, and sound
design. By the end of this video, you'll walk away with practical
tools to become a better visual storyteller yourself. Enjoy! Get 60
