Eddie Doyle (@eddiepdoyle) Interview
Eddie tells us about his background creating content and how he started posting videos of his grandma on TikTok.
We talk about the community-building aspects of TikTok and how engaged fans of his granny have become. One of our favorite granny moments was when she put a ton of garlic on her food. Turns out, the apple doesn’t fall from the tree and we all reminisce on our grandparents’ terrible eating and lifestyle habits.
We hear more about his adventures as an Uber driver and how he grew his YouTube subscribers to over 100k.
