Helping Creators Over 40 Thrive on YouTube

For Kevin Kolbe, creativity knows no age limit. As a seasoned video producer, content strategist, and mentor, Kevin has built a career out of empowering others to tell their stories. A member of GearFocus since 2020, Kevin has combined his passion for teaching and love for gear to inspire a growing community of creators—especially those over 40—who want to make an impact with video especially on YouTube

Recently, Kevin's mission has gained incredible traction. Through his coaching, tutorials, and personalized support, he's helping a generation of new creators navigate the sometimes overwhelming world of YouTube.
