Today on The Colin & Samir Show we sit down with Kate Tolo, the genius behind Bryan Johnson. Most people know Bryan from his quest to solve aging, but Kate is his co-founder, girlfriend, and the creative mind who took him from 2000 followers to over 10 million, a Netflix documentary, and a $60 million fundraising round. She walks us through her 11 rules for virality, backed up by the real emails, tweets, and thumbnails she's used to build the brand. It's a rare look at the actual playbook behind one of the internet's most viral personal brands.
