In this episode of Study Hall College Journeys, Hank Green interviews friend and fellow YouTuber Grace Helbig—one of YouTube’s original stars, comedian, actress, movie producer, best-selling author, podcast host, and prolific content creator!
Before Grace became one of the first creators to make a living on YouTube, she was a college student taking every chance to explore new opportunities—from competing in a Miss New Jersey pageant to forming a sketch comedy group with friends. Her college journey highlights how your college experience is what you make of it, and the most rewarding opportunities come from pursuing what truly excites you. From vlogging with her roommate to improv classes in NYC, Grace laid the foundation for a thriving career. Now, she’s a powerhouse in online content creation, starring in films and iconic Lowes commercials, writing books, hosting hit podcasts, and more!
We’re on a mission to learn how people have learned! To do that we’re interviewing people from various fields and asking them about their lives, careers, and college journeys. “College Journeys” aims to inspire viewers by showcasing the varied paths to success and highlighting the importance of learning, both in school and life.
