Hooman Nouri is a well-known YouTube comedian and is the owner of YouTube channel HoomanTV with to date over 8 million subscribers. His channel is famous for social experiment videos and prank videos.
Hooman together with his family moved from Persia to America in 2007. It was tough for them to go through that massive culture change and an absolute nightmare for a 15-year-old boy who doesn’t know how to speak the language. Aside from this, Hooman is naturally introverted so he doesn’t have friends in school. His fun as a broke kid with no friends is YouTube, gaming almost 8 hours a day, and consider it as a friend. He did barely finished high school and been tried college 4 times but never like the idea of spending his youth setting in the classroom and learning topics that he doesn't care about.
This young man thinks that it could just be a waste of time, and so he quit college and started to find a job. But later he realized that he needs to do something in order to get himself to the next level. Not by stick working to other people and living a miserable life but make his own destiny and live according to his will. Hooman’s dreams of having a beautiful house, driving with Ferrari, and dating beautiful women are what drive him to strive hard.
Although, Hooman really didn’t know what the journey to success as he was a competitive, very tactical and business-minded person. Inspired by those people who succeed by making videos on YouTube, he wanted to turn his passion for gaming and YouTube into an income-generating activity. So he didn’t waste time but dig deeper and get to know how to do it and tried. He wanted to do what he is really good at. He wanted to get success badly, so do whatever it takes to get that point.
However, nothing is ideal and perfect. It was really hard for him when he first started his entrepreneurial journey but he took a step by step. He understands YouTube way more seriously. He had some YouTube channels that didn’t work out well but it doesn’t stop him. Until some of his videos started to gain views and continuously growing every month from zero to millions of views that makes him so exciting. He was happy to get good results, making more money every month, getting better and better in what he is doing because he took it seriously. This is his business and this is what he is trying to get to the next level.
He believes that money and fans all of that gets old; but the best thing is about doing something positive for other people and making people across the planet laugh for minutes. Hooman is looking forward to the next chapter of his life helping other people on starting their personal/business channel, and building their wealth using YouTube channel.
