Chances are, they’ve told their story to Colin and Samir. The duo—Colin Rosenblum, 36, and Samir Chaudry, 35—have been making videos together for over a decade and have become go-to interviewers for digital stars on their namesake YouTube channel. It all started, improbably, with lacrosse. After meeting in 2012, the pair built and sold a digital media network focused on the sport. By 2017, they’d launched the Colin and Samir channel on YouTube and shifted their focus to the creator economy. With nearly 1.6 million [subscribers](https://www.youtube.com/c/ColinandSamir "undefined"), they’re now known for hosting candid conversations with the biggest names in the business—including MrBeast, [Emma Chamberlain](https://time.com/collection/time-100-next-2019/5718845/emma-chamberlain/ "undefined"), and Amelia Dimoldenberg—offering an insider’s look at how creators build their careers. Colin and Samir’s platform has since expanded to include a [podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-colin-and-samir-show/id1379942034 "undefined") and the “Publish Press,” a newsletter covering creator news and trends. _Data and insights powered by #paid_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299108/colin-and-samir/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299108/colin-and-samir/"},"headline":"Colin and Samir: TIME100 Creators 2025","datePublished":"2025-07-09T11:36:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:51:21.156Z","description":"Find out why Colin Rosenblum and Samir Chaudry are two of the 100 most influential digital voices of 2025.","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299108/colin-and-samir/","keywords":["Social Media","list","franchise","Magazine","Special Project","sponsorshipblock","Accolades"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt18d9ff632b5d6fd4/6998c8169fbc7c53ced9a3e3/TIME100-Creators-2025-Colin-and-Samir-021.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt18d9ff632b5d6fd4/6998c8169fbc7c53ced9a3e3/TIME100-Creators-2025-Colin-and-Samir-021.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-creators-2025/7299108/colin-and-samir/","name":"Colin and Samir: TIME100 Creators 2025"}}]}] ```
