What happens when the guy who created one of the most successful paranormal TV shows of all time walks away from network television and plants his flag on YouTube? In this episode, Jason Hawes — creator, lead investigator, and original host of Ghost Hunters — sits down with Dusty to break down what 20 years of mainstream TV taught him about storytelling, why he let his YouTube channel sit dormant for 15 years before launching it, how he thinks about monetization (including why he removes 50% of YouTube's ads), and what's next for his channel "Unlocking the Unknown."
