Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Tom Cruise has definetly had their genes spliced into one person.

Wow, had no idea this dude was so likable and well spoken. What a trip and legitimate talent! Very cool interview.

[Lexslayerpride]

I can say that Miles Fisher might be the most engaging person you have ever had on the show, I could honestly listen to another 3 hours of this. Would love to see another episode with him

[batnest]

This guy is a classic example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. A very articulate, humble, and interesting individual.

[floracash]

this guy is literally Tom's twin flame. There is just so much overlap, even personality wise. It's wild. LOVELY and amazing person and conversation! Thanks guys.

[EbubeUbochi]

This was SUCH a good one. There's so much to learn from Miles, it's actually insane. Can't help but feel grateful that you guys had him on

[erikvanconover]

what a fascinating episode, great content

[RobbinRams]

Back in the day they said Mp3 downloads are the dead of the music industry. Todays age it's AI generated music.

[JeremyTri]

Fantastic episode! Was just going to watch a few mins during breakfast, but became captivated for the entire episode. Hat's off to you all! Keep 'em coming, Colin & Samir! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[freddierodriguez]

Tom Cruise is on his own level. We’ll never have anyone like him again. Listening to this conversation proves we may never be without him on screen or other people in general. Great video.

[AX.]

One of your best interviews ever, guys. Such an insightful video. There's a lot to think about regarding products and the role of the creator, and I especially enjoyed the part about Chamberlain coffee.

[wescrofficial]

I think it is amazing that Miles took the feedback of being a "discount Tom Cruise" and created a huge conversation about AI and what this means for creators. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and definitely can glean a lot from it. Also, it's amazing to get a look into what this man has accomplished and his mindset behind all of it. Kudos to Colin and Samir for creating a platform where he could be viewed in a different light and people could gain insight into who he really is.

[JasonSurplus]

One of my favorite interviews so far. This guy knows how to adapt, persevere, and can talk about it all so eloquently. What a legend.

[kiwihame]

What a fascinating interview. Miles is a very interesting, articulate and humble bloke. No wonder he's been so successful.

[carnivorelove]

"Luck is when preparation meets oppourtunity". That is the best line I have heard in a long time. So true. All the success I have ever attained in my life only came because I prepared myself first and when I found an opportunity, I took action. Great Interview guys!

[KellyLira]

Wow the last 3 minutes are GOLD

Thank you for this interview. Such a gem and soooo different from all of the other creators on the show. Miles’ path is crazy unique and cannot be recreated

[Beardodoomus]

I thought I'd dive into this for ten minutes whilst eating my dinner. Ended up being fascinated for the entire hour. Miles seems like a humble and genuinely nice dude. Incredible interview and I look forward to what's next from him.

[VampireWytch]

This entire conversation was so inspiring and brain shaking at the same time! Love it! Keep it up guys!!

[kieedits]

his character in final destination 5 is the BEST part of that movie (an actual excellent final destination movie) he brought a lot of nuance to that character especially with the ending.

[IntentionalGamer]

I was not expecting the last 3 minutes to be such good conversation. Miles' focus on what luck is and the importance of being aware of what's going on in the world and not just your immediate surroundings is so true.
