He's a lawyer iirc, certainly something legal, that he was doing before becoming a hillclimb alien.

It is but she doesn't have a massive subscriber base (41k) so maybe not making that much from YouTube itself.
But her sponsorships and ambassador roles will potentially also be paying money as well as equipment provision.
I would imagine he would have agreed a sabbatical with his employer. He's definitely a builder, and rightly or wrongly I had assumed he is employed rather than being self employed, could be wrong.
They are young, have no 2 legged children, and they're probably not going to have a better chance to go on this kind of adventure together.
If they have been mega savvy, their mortgage might be tiny, and or they could simply rent the house out whilst they are away.
You can also often choose to only pay the interest on the mortgage for a period of time should you want to, or some mortgages if you have over payed, you can then take a payment holiday.

it feeds the algorithm, which as YouTube is in one of its perrenial stuff content creators in favour of mass media moods youve got to do unfortunately to keep the audience numbers

I think he's self employed. Maybe works for himself but will job for this guy, that guy as a brickie.
I also could be wrong. I wondered the same thing ages ago when these trips for him kept coming more & more frequently but then I'm sure they spoke on it in one of their podcasts & it was said he's self employed.
Anyway, she's a worrier & is money conscious so I don't imagine they'll be making decisions recklessley.
I see from the YouTube channel they are heading off again, this time on a round the world trip. Some really long days planned which will be very challenging. They are trying to break the record for a couple and again raising lots of money for charity. She’s quite inspiring.
They are sponsored by Pinarello who seem to have encouraged them to use two 10 kg gravel bikes. They look great although personally I’d prefer something more robust!

I was a bit 'yikes' at the specialist bikes. GRX is pretty common groupset, but what happens if they get a mechanical, damaged pannier mount etc whilst away. It's easier for someone in a small village to bodge a steel bike. One would hope there is some additional support if they get a mechanical.

Yes that was my thought. There’s a reason that bikes you take on that sort of journey tend to be nearer 15 kg than 10 kg. Not to take anything away from them but I suspect they will get quite a bit of support courtesy of the YouTube. The bikes might need that as they don’t look that robust with some hard to source parts.

I think I'd rather take my 90's MTB on a world tour than my newer CX bike.
