Comedy, Cash Flow, and YouTube Fame with Paul Chato
Paul Chato has done it all — comedian, CBC exec, web entrepreneur, and YouTuber with 130,000 subscribers. In this episode of The Unsure Entrepreneur Podcast, Paul shares how he went from making Canadians laugh with The Frantics and cult hero Mr. Canoehead to building over 2,000 websites and pioneering a subscription model long before it was cool.
He even explains how doing Rick Green’s taxes (yes, that guy from The Red Green Show) helped him learn business basics, why recurring revenue beats “dragging an elephant back to the office,” and how asking for advice is the best sales pitch you’ll ever make.
I've known Paul for years and wanted to hear his unique take on small business ownership. “An entrepreneur is someone who is absolutely certain of success and surprised when it happens,” Paul quips. We talk about Hackintoshes, YouTube tricks, and why it’s smart to keep your employees at arm’s length (hint: they’re not your friends).
And here’s a gem revealed in the podcast — Paul tells us that he met his wife because of John Candy, the revered Canadian comic legend.
This episode is part strategy, part stand-up. You’ve been warned.
