    Jo Franco: From YouTube Star to National Geographic TV Host
    2025/08/19
    Multilingual travel creator Jo Franco (@jo_franco) joins CREATOR: The Podcast to discuss being an immigrant kid who didn’t speak English to a global polyglot television host for Netflix and National Geographic. Host Ross Borden explores Jo's journey from her three-year grind of uploading consistently to YouTube while working night shifts, the moment she chose risk over a corporate salary, and her recent accomplishment of learning Dutch as her seventh language. Jo offers candid insights about the emotional toll of being a creator where "if a video fails, it's like I failed," plus her philosophy that confidence comes from putting yourself in moments of true discomfort. Whether you're a content creator looking to level up or someone fascinated by the courage required to reinvent yourself multiple times, this conversation delivers a valuable perspective on turning obstacles into opportunities and never settling for "young travel will never sell."

In this episode, Magda shares how growing up in communist Poland shaped her fearless approach to art, including her decision to create "The Magdalena Experience" (@themagdalenaexperience), a nude photography series that both empowers and complicates her commercial career. Host Ross Borden explores Magda's unconventional path from touring with a metal band while pursuing photography dreams to shooting major brand campaigns, and diving into her recent struggles with industry ageism. Magda offers candid advice about dealing with constant rejection, maintaining artistic integrity while paying bills, and why she believes older creatives deserve more recognition than "the new young hot thing."
