How YouTube turned a passion into a career

Jeb Brooks on his journey from consulting to social media super-influencers

Many of us probably have ambitions of quitting our jobs to travel the world – but for YouTuber Jeb Brooks of greenergrass.com, travelling the world is his job. The closest thing you’ll get to a professional frequent flyer, Jeb and his wife Suzanne have made an envious career of flying mostly business or first class flights – or taking luxury trains, or coaches –to far-flung locales for an audience of almost 600,000 subscribers.

Speaking to Australian Aviation after a recent sojourn to Australia, Jeb said that aviation has been a lifelong interest since childhood in his hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina.
