The Truth About YAK MOTLEY
- By: Joseph Simonds
- on October 8, 2020

Yak Motley (a YouTuber and overall awesome guy) is one heck of a fun guy to interview.
He’s done it all… from serving our country, to realizing he knew more about marketing than his grad school teachers, to catching tarpon from his kayak, to growing a massive following on YouTube and social media.
If you’ve ever considered starting your own business or YouTube channel, or just need a little motivation to get the ball rolling in life again, you’re going to love this episode.
Here’s a sneak peek of what we covered:
- How to handle haters on social media (trolls are everywhere, but you can’t let them get to you!)
- What the best books for crushing it in life and business are
- How to grow a YouTube channel doing what you love
- Why he wouldn’t be where he is today without an accountability partner (who just happens to be fellow fishing YouTuber Brant from AnglerUp with Brant)
- And much more
