“Googan Squad” was founded in 2016 by six friends: Rob Terkla, Andrew Flair, John Barzzacchini, Alex Peric, Justin Rackley, and Michael Hsiao. All six of these young men are avid anglers, and their love for fishing brought them together. Before Googan Squad, all six founders blew up with their YouTube channels. They all used their passion for fishing to make fun content that brings in thousands of viewers. After running into each other on many of their adventures, these six guys decided to make a group YouTube channel where they get together several times a year to make fun content. Over the last few years, Googan Squad has gotten more than one million subscribers and millions more views.
Eventually, they started selling Googan Squad merchandise and fishing tackle, which expanded the organization beyond YouTube. More recently, they released a new series of custom Googan rods. Googan Squad fishing equipment has entered many big sports stores like Dicks, Cabela’s, and Bass Pro Shops. The business’s net worth is estimated to be 5 million dollars as of 2020.
Googan Squad shows that you can do what you are passionate about. These six guys love fishing and have made their careers out of it. Each uses their unique personalities to make quality content on their own YouTubes and Googan Squad. They use their knowledge and love of fishing to make products for their users. If you love something enough, you can make it your work.

I think that Googan Squad shows the path the younger generation will be splitting off towards. The older generations grew up with television but now innovative people, like Googan Squad have found a new medium to gain viewership and start their own shows based on their passions. It’s really cool that a few different people who were all popular in their own right can come together to bring the community something new and refreshing.
