Ali Baluch (@baluchx) started his career in video on YouTube — by joining FouseyTube in its early days. Ali worked with Yousef to take the channel from 500k to 10m (and over 1.5b views), creating one of the early YouTube phenomenons (which I learned was..stunted!). Ali’s journey in production and cinematography is a journey that spans through household names like Nickelodeon, HBO Max, and MTV. And outside of those names, Ali is behind a few podcasts (The Apartment and the Fahim Anwar Dance Hour) where he chats with some of the most popular names in the industry. What is Ali up to next? More film, he suspects. This is a chilling-with-friends-in-your-living room type of episode, with more of a hair down vibe than the typical epi. The backstory is that Ali is a friend who came by to chat about a media project on a Friday night. I asked Ali to record a pod in return, so I have the very rare in person epi. With a lot of Friday night, barely made it through the week a (childcare fell through at home, work was demanding as usual) laughs. What makes this episode even more funny is that Ali is a professional video and audio dude — and I have him sharing a mic on a MacBook pro as my setup. Enjoy! I did.

Ali Baluch is a TV producer

In this episode of Stories of Transformation, we talked to Ali Baluch, an Afghan American content creator most known for his Youtube podcast The Apartment. We learn about his life as a "third culture kid", caught between white America and immigrant America amidst the tense aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We discuss how he went from posting a Facebook status in 2007 saying, "I don't get the pride in being Afghan", to now having made it his mission to be a role model for Gen Z kids of color today, by being unapologetically Afghan and always repping Afghanistan apparel any time he is on camera. As we walk through his transformation, he talks to us about his first trip to Afghanistan and its impact, his journey to becoming a fast-growing YouTuber, and how he’s used his career and experience to influence underrepresented communities and expose how the world can easily misunderstand a people. Memorable QuotesHow Afghanistan changed his mindset:"You're sitting on top of this huge mountain, looking all around you and it's nothing but mountain ranges. It's this weird feeling where you feel like you're the only soul for as far as the eye can see. And then two seconds later you hear this little bell and you turn around, and it's this kid with a donkey coming up on the other side. He invites you in for tea. These little interactions, and the hospitality, were just very sweet and wholesome. Then I completely had this new perspective of Afghanistan."Becoming a YouTuber:"I wouldn't be a filmmaker if I wasn't Afghan. I know that for a fact. Afghans are the greatest storytellers of all time. They know when to slow down, when to pause, when to change the mood, and they keep you engaged."Resources &amp; LinksYou can see more of Baktash Ahadi's work here.Follow Baktash Ahadi on Instagram here.Keep updated on the latest episodes of "Stories of Transformation" here.Want to connect with Ali?
