S31E7: YouTubers Catherine Paiz and Austin McBroom

The ACE Family channel on YouTube blew up in a big way in 2016, taking two young parents into realms of wealth and fame they couldn’t possibly have planned for – and were clearly unequipped to handle. While the channel grew to some 18 million followers, brand partnerships soured into litigation and the marriage of Catherine Paiz and Austin McBroom eventually collapsed. If you’ve ever wondered, “What would my life be like if I made my own reality show,” the ACE family is the cautionary tale you need.
