She Left TV. Built an Empire. From Her Bedroom.
Erin Molan’s shift from mainstream media to solo content creation wasn’t just bold—it was game-changing. Once a fixture on Australian television, Erin now reaches millions through a bedroom studio setup, creating high-impact interviews and commentary that go viral worldwide.
With nothing but a desktop video studio kit and relentless drive, Erin built a powerful brand of filming interviews with the likes of Boris Johnson and Dean Cain, growing her YouTube channel from just 70 to over 55,000 subscribers, and balancing it all while being a single mum.
She proves you don’t need a network to be taken seriously. Just the right system and a message that matters.
