Have you heard? Ryan Trahan’s Joyride, NPR’s YouTube hire, and MrBeast’s next big milestone.

Each week, we handpick a selection of stories to give you a snapshot of trends, updates, business moves, and more from around the creator industry. This week, a creator finds a fitting way to promote his candy company, a Pinterest vet heads to the world of public radio, and the most-subscribed YouTube creator adds to his total. Creator commotion Ryan Trahan is looking for the state with the biggest sweet tooth. Trahan loves a coast-to-coast challenge, so he gave a boost to his candy company Joyride by visiting all 50 states in search of confection-crazed fans. The stunt will conclude with Joyride Day, a live-streamed celebration that will include Guinness World Record attempts and a whole lot of sour candy. Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.
