Markell Washington Talks Fame, Family, and Streamer University

Markell Washington went from working at Subway for $7.25 an hour to becoming one of the internet's most beloved viral creators — but his path there is nothing like you'd expect. In this episode, Markell opens up about losing his father, his mother's incarceration, being the backbone of his siblings while still in high school, getting fired from a job to chase a viral moment, getting kicked out of the Hype House (twice), winning a Tesla live on camera, and landing a $350,000 Meta deal. This is a raw, funny, and inspiring conversation about betting on yourself when everyone tells you not to.
