Michelle Khare transformed her YouTube channel into a full in-house production company and a show she petitioned onto the Emmy ballot. This session explores how she approaches brand partnerships as true creative collaborations, why she chose to build everything internally, and what the next generation of creator businesses looks like as the lines between independent production and traditional entertainment continue to blur.
Daredevil Michelle Khare lives life to the extreme by taking on intense physical and mental challenges in her award-winning docuseries, Challenge Accepted. Michelle has attempted everything from Harry Houdini's deadliest magic trick to surviving a week at FBI Academy. Michelle hopes to prove through her content that with enough hard work, perseverance, and failure, anything is possible.
