Podcasts, Videos, Essays, and More
Brittlestar creates a lot of stuff.
Some of it is pretty good.
This site is your gateway to that good stuff.
Brittlestar is Stewart Reynolds… and his life changed when he went from almost losing everything to becoming a social media content creator whose videos are watched millions of times every month and have been seen over 600 million times online… at the age 43. Since 2013, Brittlestar has worked with Gordon Ramsay, Ryan Reynolds, The Property Brothers and others to create content for Rogers, Netflix, NBC Universal, Walmart, Telus, CBC, Entertainment Tonight Canada, and many more.
Brittlestar’s Really Great is a newsletter, podcast, community and general distribution point for (hopefully) useful, entertaining and sometimes reasonable content by Brittlestar.
Brittlestar has been invited to share his comedic yet philosophical perspective on current issues, social media, marketing and parenting at various events all over North America including Washington DC, New Orleans, Orlando, Toronto, Whistler, Ottawa, Banff and more.
In 2016, he was invited by President and Michelle Obama to participate in the arrival ceremony of Prime Minister Trudeau at the White House.
In 2017, he created a branded video for KFC Canada titled “Explaining Canada Day To Americans” that became the biggest branded video in the world that year on Facebook with over 65 million views. Filmed entirely by himself in his backyard, the video beat out Nike by over 10 million views and resulted in a 10% spike in sales nationwide at KFC, as well as causing the first ever US Customs Guard to smile at him, and become public enemy number one for chickens.
Here on Substack, he offers a weekly newsletter called Brittlestar’s Really Great in which he offers advice and insight on how to adapt, start again and succeed in this sometimes craptastic existence.
