We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Chris Hunt a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Chris, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today If you could go back in time do you wish you had started your creative career sooner or later?
Looking back I wish I would have started my creative career sooner. I have been creating content since November of 2015, but only started full time in May of 2020. I did not start full time until after having children. I always wonder what it would have been like if I got the time to fully dedicate 100% of my time to my channel instead of giving it the leftover time after my 9-5 before kids.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I am most known for my role as the Florida Bushman, where I prank people by surprising unsuspecting people all while dressed as a bush. Pranking people can be a playful way to foster laughter and create memorable moments, but it requires a careful balance of humor and consideration. A good prank is lighthearted, surprising, and harmless, aimed at eliciting genuine laughter rather than discomfort or anger. Successful pranks often rely on creativity and timing, catching the target off guard while ensuring that everyone involved can enjoy the joke. When executed thoughtfully, pranking can strengthen friendships and create lasting memories, reminding us not to take life too seriously. Becoming a content creator involves harnessing creativity and passion to share ideas, stories, or knowledge with an audience. It requires a deep understanding of your audience. As creators navigate challenges like algorithm changes and audience growth, they also learn the importance of authenticity and adaptability, ultimately shaping their personal brand in a dynamic way.
Making people smile is a powerful act that can brighten someone’s day and foster connections. Smiles can bridge differences, uplift spirits, and remind us of our shared humanity. Simple acts, like a compliment or a joke, can turn someone’s mood around, demonstrating that even the smallest efforts can have a profound impact. In a world that often feels heavy, spreading smiles becomes a meaningful way to cultivate kindness and joy in everyday interactions.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is to bring smiles and laughter to the world, believing that joy is a universal language that transcends barriers. In a time when many face challenges and stress, I aim to create moments of lightheartedness that uplift spirits and foster connections. I strive to inspire others to embrace positivity and find joy in the little things. By sharing laughter and encouraging others to do the same, I hope to contribute to a more cheerful and compassionate world, reminding us all of the power of a simple smile.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding part of being a content creator is when fans reach out to share how my work has helped them through difficult times. Hearing their stories of struggle and resilience reinforces the impact of my efforts and reminds me of the meaningful connections we can forge. Each message serves as a powerful reminder that humor can provide comfort and support when it’s needed most. Knowing that I’ve played a role in lifting someone’s spirits or offering a sense of peace fills me with gratitude and fuels my passion to continue creating.
