We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Brymax Brothers a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

BryMax , appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when everything felt uncertain and disconnected, Bryson and Maxwell, like so many other kids stuck at home, turned to video games as a way to stay entertained and connected with friends. One day, they approached me, Dad, aka “Hoagie”—with an idea that would change everything: “Let’s start a YouTube channel!”

At first, I was hesitant. Between balancing work, family life, and adapting to the craziness of a global pandemic, launching a channel seemed like an overwhelming project. But the boys wouldn’t let it go. Their excitement was infectious. They started sharing all these ideas about the games they loved and how much fun it would be to share their experiences with others. Eventually, I realized this could be more than just a creative outlet for them—it could be a way to bond as a family and maybe even bring some joy to others during such a difficult time.

We decided to take the plunge, and the first step was to plan our content. We set up a simple gaming setup in the house using Nintendo Switch.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Our journey began during the pandemic as a simple way to stay connected and creative as a family, and over time, it has evolved into something much bigger and more dynamic. Today, the BryMax Brothers channel is a hub of diverse, engaging content for viewers of all ages. Nugget has carved out his niche with VR gaming, bringing audiences into the immersive world of virtual reality with his funny commentary and sheer enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Bryman has become the go-to for Fortnite content. On top of that, as a family, we’ve expanded into travel and food vlogging, capturing our adventures everywhere from the magic of Disney to the relaxation of beachside escapes.

What Sets Us Apart
What truly makes us unique is our authenticity. We are a real family, sharing our real experiences. Viewers can tell that what we do comes from the heart. Our content isn’t overly polished or scripted—it’s genuine and relatable. Whether we’re laughing over a hilarious gaming fail or exploring the best rides at Disney, it’s all about showing people the fun and imperfections of life.

Our Mission
The heart of our work is bringing joy to our audience. We want to make people smile, inspire families to connect, and show that whether you’re gaming or traveling, you can create meaningful moments together.

What We Want You to Know
Whether you’re here for gaming, travel tips, or just some good laughs, we’re so glad to have you as part of the BryMax Brothers community. We want our followers to know that every like, comment, and view means the world to us. Our work is about more than just creating videos; it’s about building a family and a community that spans far beyond our home. We’re excited to keep growing, exploring, and bringing everyone along on the adventure!

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

For us, the most rewarding aspect of being creators has been the ability to document our adventures as a family and share those moments with others. It’s not just about making videos; it’s about preserving memories and cherishing the time we spend together. Whether it’s trying a new VR game with Nugget, watching Bryman pull off an epic Fortnite win, or exploring a new destination as a family, each experience feels like a milestone in our journey.

What makes this even more fulfilling is knowing that we’re inspiring others—families, gamers, and travelers alike—to try new things and create their own memories. Hearing from viewers who say our content brought them joy or encouraged them to connect with their loved ones is incredibly meaningful to us.

At its core, this journey has been about growing together, both as individuals and as a family. Every laugh, every challenge, every new adventure brings us closer, and being able to capture and share that is a reward in itself. The fact that others enjoy watching it and feel inspired along the way? That’s the cherry on top.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

We don’t have clientele in the traditional sense and don’t do this for money—it’s never been about that for us. Instead, what we’ve built is a community, and that’s what we value most. Our goal has always been to connect with people through our content, whether they’re gamers, families, or just folks looking for a little joy and inspiration.

The most effective strategy for growing our community has been consistency. We’ve made it a point to post new YouTube Shorts every week, keeping the channel active and engaging for viewers who enjoy quick, entertaining snippets of our adventures. In addition to that, we upload a full-length vlog about once a month, showcasing everything from family travels to behind-the-scenes moments. This rhythm gives our audience something to look forward to regularly while also letting us dive deeper into our experiences with the longer-form content.

By staying consistent and showing up for our community, we’ve been able to build trust and keep people coming back. It’s about being reliable and making sure there’s always something fresh and fun for our audience to enjoy. The best part? Seeing the channel grow and knowing that the people who watch are genuinely invested in the journey we’re sharing as a family.
