Description

100,000 subscribers. We did it.

When we started the Truth Hurts Show, the goal was simple: create a place where we could have real conversations, ask the questions other people avoid, and sit down with guests who have stories worth hearing.

What started as an idea turned into something much bigger than we expected. We’ve had conversations about health, business, politics, relationships, corruption, recovery, technology, personal transformation, and some of the wildest stories we’ve ever heard.

Now we’ve officially crossed 100,000 subscribers and received our YouTube Silver Creator Awards.

In this episode, we’re looking back at the journey from our perspective. The guests who surprised us, the moments that stuck with us, the episodes that made us rethink what we believed, and what we’ve learned from building the show together.

More than anything, this episode is our way of saying thank you.

Every person who watched an episode, shared a clip, left a comment, subscribed, sent the show to a friend, or supported us along the way helped make this possible.

We’re proud of how far the Truth Hurts Show has come, but we’re nowhere near finished.

100K was the first major milestone.

Now we’re coming for 1 million.
