We’re reaching out to some popular creators to get their best tips and tricks for success and better understand the ups and downs of life as a trailblazer on the internet.

This week, we caught up with Andy, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, via email. Andy is the creator, writer, comedian, and animator behind the top animation YouTube channel “Ice Cream Sandwich” with over 2 million subscribers. 

Because of the time-consuming nature of animation, Andy doesn’t post videos very often. But despite having less than 30 videos uploaded to his channel over five years, Andy has attracted a cult following that waits patiently for his new videos.
