Jimmy is just on a different level. Taking notes from every single podcast this guy jumps on.

[GarettMac]

MrBeast’s support of smaller creators is unmatched. Watched this when this channel had 659 subs

"I always wondered why people didn't try harder" - MrBeast

such a powerful quote...

[ICONS-podcast]

Side-note: this is beautifully color-graded.

Very excited to dig into this

[LionOG]

I love that whenever he refers to his channel he uses “we” rather than “I” or “our” rather than “my”. He gives so much credit to his team he doesn’t even call it his own anymore.

[HybridCalisthenics]

Enjoyed this! Love hearing how Jimmy's mind works. Great podcast quality too.

How to take over the world is my favorite podcast today! Congrats on moving to YouTube and launching your first video interview with todays biggest YouTuber!!! 🥳 🙌

[jaiminsharma]

Key Points I learnt so far:
1. He is consistent af
2. He trusts his intuition more than his rational mind
3. He has insane work ethics. He does what he says he is going to do
4. He thinks long term. Not a month but 5-10 years(I believe this is an exceptional quality, not everyone has it but can be developed)
5. He goes through same fears and doubts as all of us but he consciously chooses his response instead of reacting to them and getting caught up in that spiral.

I am so happy that I came across this podcast before other people... Good job!

[pjsummers]

The way you've intro'd the YouTube through the newsletter is awesome! And this is unlike every other mr beast interview. Rooting for this all the way!!

[davidlakhter]

I've listened to every single podcast with Jimmy, this is by far one of the most personable ones!

[brojogan]

What a way to get started on Youtube! Congrats Ben!

[SpencerCornelia]

"we're going to spend $120 million on videos this year" - wow!!! he consistently pushes what's possible on this platform. pretty remarkable that a YouTuber reached this level.

I've been following your podcast for a few years now, so glad to see you're coming to YouTube as well

As a 47 year old mom, who has, I think legitimate concerns of YouTube addictions for kids, I do appreciate Mr. Beasts' talent/vision, work ethic and desire to do better and help others achieve their success as well. I also have a 21 year old son who looks a lot like Jimmy, feeling proud of him for everything he accomplishes and wish him all the best.

[officialcalvinwayman]

Mr Beast’s sense of “time slowing down” is because of an interesting phenomenon—it’s likely due to him always doing something new. It’s the novelty. It’s the reason time feels slower to kids—everything is always new. It’s also why as you’ve gotten older, time feels like it goes by so fast…it’s incredibly likely that your life has also gotten more routine and predictable. So I guess the lesson Jimmy is giving us here is: want to slow down time and feel younger? Add more “new’ to life.

[Shushhhhh]

I’ve been waiting for this episode for a while. This podcast will soon be huge.

[Acrellux]

This is an incredibly well done podcast. I hope that more people find this!!

[TheProjectCorner]

I'm so happy my manager pointed me towards the podgast. And now a YouTube channel in the same style? That's just amazing! As a Small time YouTuber myself it's amazing to see you reach 5K subs with 1 video (comparing my 3K with 100+ video's).

Ben, once again, big fan of your work. It's great to have a face to the voice now as well. Looking forward to the next thing for you.

Kind regards,
Erik v H.

Literally waited since you started the podcast for this moment. For you to make a YouTube unreal that it’s finally here
