Founder of the once-popular YouTube channel, Over 25, Julia ‘Jules’ Gaitho has finally opened up about the reasons behind the channel’s demise.
In May 2023, Youtube channel 'Over 25' shut down after 7 years.
The move left hundreds of thousands of fans disappointed.
'Over 25' was founded by 'Julia Gaitho alias Jules, it also featuring content creators Ivy, Lornzie, and Shikie and had gained 157,000 subscribers.
Through her Youtube channel, Jules says there was miscommunication adding they were good friends but not as good as business partners.
“When you work with people who are friends there are bound to be conflicts and by that I mean differences of opinions or differences in how to do things. For my part, I wish I knew how to communicate my Nos better. At that time I didn’t have the skill set to resolve conflicts with friends. I would always push my issues under the carpet to avoid conflicts but those things would end up blowing up later,” Jules opened on a recent YouTube channel interview.
She hinted they did not have a contract and that worked against the.
“I wish we got into a contract at the beginning. A contract that stipulated who did what, their specific role, and who the buck stops with. Other things like finances, which clients we should work with, and what we should offer them, always got us into a fight because I would always give too much. If we had a contract stipulating our roles such as this is the Creative Director, Finance, and business development it would have been better, but we didn’t know.” she opened up.
For Julia, mixing friendship and business was their major undoing.
”We knew how to be friends, but we didn’t know how to work together,” Jules added.
