Sam Andrews On Having Nearly 2 Million Followers on TikTok, The Emilies, And Big Time Fame
When I last interviewed Sam Andrews (@samueljeffersonandrews on TikTok), he was somewhere in the 800k area of followers on the app. He's now approaching 1.8 million, and the last few weeks have been epic, so we decided to chat again for the benefit of 'The Emilies' and... ultimately... humanity.
In this vid, you will discover:
- What happened after Sam hit 1 million on TikTok and decided to do a 'meet and greet' for his fans
- How he's building a business from TikTok with his new line of merch
- Exciting developments relating to the Emily POV Series (I won't post spoilers here. You need to watch the video!)
- A competition he's running to discover which of his fans is The Real Emily
Leave comments under this post so he can see your feedback. He has so many followers at this point that this is your best chance of being seen. By all means, copy and paste your comment to TikTok as well.
Let Sam know what his POV series has meant to you and what you love about him.

Max Klymenko Spills the Tea About Cats, Relationships, and Careers
Max is a Genius
You may know Max Klymenko from his totally cute relationship with his cat, Mia, but what you may not know is that he's a super-successful business dude with the world-famous Accenture in London. In other words... he's hella smart. In fact, he has four degrees. FOUR. Two are master's degrees. It's hardly surprising that he's a deep thinker, which is the first thing we discuss in our chat. He's also utterly fascinating.
In this interview, Max shares with me his thoughts on:
- Relationships
- Careers and entrepreneurship
- Living and working in a different country than the one where you were raised
- The ego, and whether or not you should kill it
- Cats, and the benefits of having your own floofster (or younger sibling if floofs are unavailable)
And finally...
Looking at the stats of those of you who've opted in to receive The TikTok Tea Times (which you should totally do after you've watched this video, by the way) I can see that the majority of you at the moment are young women.
I feel that it is, therefore, my duty in an older sister/ helpful aunt type capacity to inform you that both Max and Sam Andrews are single right now. Eligible bachelors, both. But, of course, you'll need to share attention with Mia the cat with Max, and a horde of 'Emilys' with Sam.
More About Max
You can get more Max on TikTok, Instagram and his podcast, Big Fan of the Human Race.
Want more info on how to take care of a cat, choose your perfect job, or become TikTok famous? Leave your comments and questions for Max (and for me) in the comments section below, and share this post on social media to tell your friends about Max. In a rush? No problem, just hit one of the response buttons, but we'd LOVE to hear your thoughts, because this whole site is for you.
Remember you're awesome!

P.S. The music in the video is a little something I threw together, inspired by the interview, called Max Authenticity.

Rebecca has written social media magazine columns for Writing Magazine and two magazines in the entrepreneurship industry.
She coaches celebrities, entrepreneurs, and creatives from around the world. This gives her insights into what really happens when you become MORE than 'TikTok Famous’.
One of the first social media influencers, Rebecca won the Ms Twitter influencer contest (beating all the Kardashians) a decade ago, and was a Finalist in The Shorty Awards, beating JK Rowling in the Literature category.
She was also one of the original Dot Com Pioneers, and her cat was one of the first lolcats on the web before the term 'lolcat' was a thing. Rebecca turned her into a gif with flashing eyes that told fortunes on a celebrity blog in 1999.
Random trivia:
She was invited to a party in Johnny Depp’s room in a hotel once, but turned him down because she was having too much fun singing for a bunch of BAFTA Award winners at an aftershow party.
She had pizza with Stephen Fry and interviewed him for a student newspaper in 1997. They’re still friends.
She is camera shy but that didn’t stop Google randomly roping her into testing live-streaming tech for SIX YEARS so you’d be able to go live on places like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.
