Daniel Mac turned a single question — 'What do you do for a living?' — into one of the most recognizable formats on the internet. By walking up to supercar owners and asking how they earn, he built an audience of millions and a front-row seat to how wealthy people actually make their money. On the Digital Social Hour, he joins Sean Kelly to talk about what all those interviews have taught him.
The conversation ranges from the tax mistakes content creators keep making to the jobs that come up most among supercar owners, his own car collection, and stories from a creator world that includes Jake Paul, Jack Doherty, and even a video with President Joe Biden.
