Always an honor fellas. Since the moment we met, there was a spark in our friendship. Colin and Samir, you two are of some of the smartest, most dedicated and humble people we know and we are truly grateful for knowing you. What a wild and unpredictable journey we’ve been on together. Here’s to a lifetime of friendship 👏💙

You’ll probably never see this because I’m 10 months late to this video, but you have no idea how much this vulnerable conversation helped me today. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s changing lives ❤

Well. It's official. Collin and Samir can find the "business" side of just about anything

I found Colin and Samir's channel last week and I've been watching previous episodes non-stop! Such great value!

I'm glad you brought up the value of you as a creator. Creator studio is one thing, but I recently did an in person panel at Sakura Con and seeing the people in my community, speaking with them face to face, no 10/10 can take that away.

Such a fantastic interview as always, Colin and Samir! I really appreciated the reminder about the focus on videos first (external opportunities next), the vegetable analogy, and the inspiration that can come with saying no to tempting opportunities. Thank you Yes Theory for your openness to share!!

Ammar: "but I'm struggling to apply 'saying no' in my own personal life" (getting teary) Thomas: Just this look of "I've got you Bro. I love you" The genuine compassion & love for each other (all who appear on camera in a given video) is what I see in all the videos I've managed to watch of the Yes Theory (which is why their video of a specific event was so much more hard-hitting & impactful than that of a Big-Name-in-the-movie-industry of the very same event!) & it's That that keeps me coming back for more. So encouraging. eg. click on video about a country that doesn't exist on a map & end up in tears with all the heart-felt tender moments - typical! (#hidethevegetables) 😍

One of my favorite videos I've watched in a while, I'm not a creator nor do I have interest in creating content, but the conversation around career life balance, finding purpose and confidence in what you do is so powerful and amazing to hear. Thank you guys!

"hiding the vegetables" really captured something we're been working on for a while. Such a great interview!

That hide the vegetables part was gold. Great convo

Yep, super-hard not letting the views and KZfaq studio metrics get to you when they aren't always going up. I've been experiencing 2 bad months in a row right now and I'm searching for "my way and my place" on KZfaq. Taking it step by step but I know I will figure it out once, and your channel is one of the few rare channels I'm looking forward to watching every week. You are definitely knowledgeable, authentic, real, creative and much more. Do a screenshot of this comment and similar ones, print them and look at them from time to time when you feel it's all falling apart. Channel like yours is what motivates me the most to better organize mine. (p.s. I feel bad commenting so often on your channel, I don't want to look spammy, but you always give us something to write about! Thanks for everything! Always keep it real like this and you'll always have an audience.)

The longevity and philosophy of Yes Theory is why I love their channel. Their authenticity and passion really comes out. Especially in this interview! I really love how they are unwavering and intentional on what they are doing in their channel.

Absolutely loved how this interview ended without ending. IRL some conversations just end without any formality. Thank you for keeping that ending

This is the motivation I needed to hit record this morning

You guys have grown so much in the two years I have been subbed and I just want to say thank you for giving me content and inspiration, both you and yes theory have amazing communities and I proud to be a part of them both. I've been looking into content creation but I'm broke, you guys have any advice, but anyways congrats!

Always love your interviews so wasn't expecting otherwise, but was not expecting how real and deep this interview got (or how moved I would be by it). Hearing Samir say "success in this world is just an opportunity to do more of it" was a major lightbulb moment - up until that point I had only applied that concept to my previous career (which I left because I didn't want "more of it"), but it hadn't occurred to me that that applies across the board. Definitely something I will always keep in mind going forward. Thanks for such an insightful and value-packed video!! - Em

Totally, resonate with Colin saying "Of course you should be, being interviewed, but should I be the ONE interviewing you?" I think too many times as creators we let our self doubt and fears cloud what we can create and make. I understand that fear all to well.

I discovered this chanel years ago from a Yes Theory’s Video. Since then I watched every single video. It‘s so nice to follow Colin and Samir‘s journey and see their growth. And now seeing them all at one table it just put a smile on my face. 🙈✨

I loved this episode, honestly one of my all time favorites. I'd love to get on this show one day to have this type of conversation about finding, creating and building value through your content creation, just out of curiosity how does one appear on the Colin & Samir show?

It really felt like old pals catching up in the best way. Also, kudos to Colin for being so honest about confidence.

Honestly I love how Collin & Samir get right into the conversation after a short context/intro❤❤❤🥺 LOVE ITTTTTT.... Get Emma on the podcast 💥🙏

This was so great. I would love to hear more about their creative process and storytelling. Especially Thomas' process for coming up with the voiceovers and angles.

You could tell how aligned you guys were with these two from Yes Theory and it shows in the wholesome and inspiring nature of this video. I say do more videos like these! I think you're unlocking a very impactful part of your business that you might not have realized, helping creators become more authentic and better versions themselves which in turn can inspire the world.

Put out the longer version of this interview plssssss i wouldnt mind how long it is. This is just so goooooooooooood. I've learned so much from u guys ❤️

32:29 those cuts, so good 👌

Completed my work for the day early today for your episode- and you bless us with this gem! Absolute banger! love both of the channels!

Just amazing to watch an interview/talk with yes theory like this. Both so interesting and inspiring and very educational too. I really enjoy these talks, can’t wait for more❤️

Really loved this conversation. Was really refreshing and tasteful to hear everyones perspective/ experience on the business side of things and how it bleeds into your personal lives. There is power in saying 'no', and balance is key!

Such great content. Collin, we all see your growth as a creator, and it’s v fun to come back to this weekly. I love the way this channel is today, it’s wonderful

I am a long time fan of Yes Theory, and it's fascinating seeing the natural dynamic between Thomas and Amar. It comes across in somewhat in their videos, but what a treat to see their friendship in an informal setting!

This is the podcast I was waiting for.

AHHH THEY ARE BACK! I was craving some colin and samir without having a full video last week!

I watched the Mr Beast interview on how the beginning of the videos should improve and MY GOD you took his advice seriously. This is very close to perfect, so very great job so far!

Two of my favorite creators sharing and giving insight on their thought processes and approaches to video making is pure gold to a new creator like me. Thank you guys so much 🙏

Dude I love you guys! Thank you for this, this means a lot to me & giving so much inner & outer exploration value! You understood the gap & you definitely bridge it together, always!

I'm not all that familiar with YES theory, but I'm excited to hear their story!

The moment I saw Colin & Samir in Yes Theory's latest video in Yakustk, I knew there was a video coming

Been waiting for a video with them, great to see one :)

Ending the video just like this, without lenghty goodbyes is the way! Loved every sec of the conversation

I love this show! Can't tell you how much vaule I get from watching Colin and Samir. I own a coffee shop and plant shop and have been wanting to make content around that but have not figured out how to get started. I am setting up a very small studio in our plant shop to start creating content around plant care. I really appreciate all that you guys do!

The improvement in these intros in the past 8 months is great keep it up!

This is such a good channel. Great interviews, great production, and amazing storytelling.

My favorite creators together in one video is just amazing 🙌🏽 what a thought provoking conversation 👌🔥 By the end I thought you guys would go on a ride with your new company car. I think that'd be something fun to do at the end of every interview😄

Colin idk if you’ll read this, but you ABSOLUTELY deserve being the one to interview these people. Your humor, authenticity, and everything you bring to the table is one of the main reasons I watch every week, and this interview just proved it further🔥

32:30 is the best cut of this interview 😂

Glad to see your guys success. I subbed back in the day and I see you're getting huge names now. Congrats..keep grinding

For real one of your best interviews. Love all 4 of you!! And I've learnt so much from all of you so thank you!

Lots of key takeaways & smiles from this videos. Such a great conversation

This podcast is everything that goes in my head as a smaller creator. Love this channel because it level sets the life of being a creator.

This has been super inspiring. It's SO good to KNOW what you WANT. We are taught as children to not want things. Or at least to not be heard with what we want even if we don't get it. I am wondering if your guy's fear of this all ending began when you were little and something that you loved got taken away from you for a hurtful reason, IE you didnt behave the way your parents wanted you to and got punished.... Got a new sub here. As children we also werent allowed to say no. We are born knowing what we want and dont want.... "Even if you don't know or don"t care, your yes' and no's to life are still there."

Nothing better to start off monday morning than with a nice colin and samir video!! -- the other sameer PS: didnt know about the spotify podcast creator Q&A until know

to the colin & samir team, y'all are doing such great work and i'm so excited to see where you all continue to go.

Colin and Samir, absolute kings! Incredible interview as always guys! Can’t wait for the next one!

Colin and Samir are among my favorite podcasters. They are so professional and exciting and inspiring too. Really appreciate everything you guys do.

This resonated HUGELY with me, and I’m not a content creator. I have my own business, 5 years in, with a team of 10 others now (it started with just me and my business partner). Everything you said about managing people, instead of doing the thing I actually love doing. Some great advice and musings here. I feel the same - that it could all come crashing down, and I’ll lose it all. That I have to constantly be doing better etc. “It was a good run” haha, yeah I feel that too. Even when you talked about enjoying the day… did I get to the end of the day knowing I enjoyed myself? Thanks for your honesty in this interview guys (all 4 of you). This was EXTREMELY helpful for me. So much so, I liked and subscribed :) PS - IT’S ABOUT THE COMPANY!!!!! Fucking gold, Amar 🏆🥇⭐️

This interview FLEW byyyy. Great content.

I feel like this episode was so much more about Colin and Samir in general, than Yes Theory and I absolutely love it.

I love that this is titled “a very honest conversation” instead of “an interview”. Huge shift in vibe.

THAT ENDING THOUGH!!!! Sjoe. was amazing. Loved every second of this (as per usual lol)

that was a really good interview 51:12 51:17

This was a lovely and insightful conversation

So cool to see 4 of my favorite and my most-respected KZfaqrs all at one table, sharing their wisdom

The last few minutes of the interview, so so relevant to my life. Thank you 🙏

Colin and Samir have truly found the content that the produce best and since then they've seen incredible growth. I can believe the rate their growing after years of being stagnant, for example when I subbed they were at 50,000 subs and that wasn't even that long ago.

This was my favorite video to date. I could relate and feel a lot of what these guys are taking about. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Colin for opening up. Super relatable.

Been having a rough couple of weeks at the channel I work for, really needed this episode

That quote at the end is actually deep as hell, damn. I've never heard anyone say that before, i love it. I cannot wait for someone to casually say "it's not about the destination, it's about the journey", and then get to drop in and say "it's neither, it's about the company" and blow everyone's mind and tell them i got it from Yes Theory lol.

This is a really interesting conversation for me personally as someone who has a KZfaq channel that’s strictly just an outlet for me and never really intended for it to become a means of income. A little background….. Im a tarot reader… but my channel started as a diary of sorts just me talking about my struggles with mentalhealth and how spirituality and tarot have changed me into a much healthier, grounded and authentic human. The vast majority of my videos were literally me just sitting in front of my camera talking about my experiences and I was completely SHOOK the moment a video reached over even 100 views. It was both exhilarating and terrifying. I didn’t start this to get views I started it as an outlet for myself and a way to genuinely help others going through the same struggles I was going through. When you guys were talking about hiding the vegetables and making a choice between the business side and the creative side… I just kinda stood there speechless. One of the main things that sets me apart in the spiritual community is that I focus really heavily on healing and authenticity. My tarot readings arnt about trying to predict your future or click bate… they are more or less a counseling session. I constantly get unsolicited advice that I should “post readings on tik tok” or that I should do more “___” readings because that’s what gets views…. But at what coast!?! I recently did an 18+ tarot reading… it was about sex… and well we all know that sex sells ; so of course the fucking video for more views than any of my other readings… including ones I really really loved. I loved the whole hide the vegetables conversation because I didn’t even realize without even consciously doing that it was something I’ve recently begun doing. I’ve began to do more love readings and popular topics but I still keep those underlying themes of healing and absolutely refuse to sugarcoat my readings “sis if he’s toxic I’m gonna say he’s toxic” 🥴🤣… long rant short: thank you. I needed this

You nailed it, as usually. I loved the vulnerability you all showed in the last 20min, sharing about impostor syndrome, feeling of unworthiness...

OMG! You guys literally voiced every thought that every creator goes through. Great interview.

YESSS, been waiting for this for so longg!!

This was so much fun to watch. Very insightful. They are one of my favourite creators period. And that ending, it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was great! It was so cool to see a different “business side” to Yes Theory

This content has been so helpful for me! There's so many unique voices that help show lots of different approaches to success, thanks guys!

I love how these videos are the introspective sparks for myself and questioning my 'why' and decisions in life.

Hello Colin's and samir, loved the video...can you guys explain how to do the animations part when you where talking about vidiq?

I've been waiting this video for years, thanks C&S!

guys u are the best at being colin and samir and analyzing other creators. such a great talent!! thank u for ur content

Learning to say no is such a difficult thing for so many people and learning to do it could change so many things for you and you are so relieved from the outside pressures

This is a really great video, Colin and Samir. We get to see the intelligence and thoughtfulness behind Yes Theory.

Idk how many people were around a few years ago when Colin and Samir were first getting started and showed up at the yes theory house to meet the guys and get advice. So cool to see the full circle.

Brilliant episode as always. Thanks for sharing this.

As an avid youtube consumer YES theory is the only channel ive ever bought merch from… multiple times ! These 2 lads both speak multiple languages and are so intelligent.. the whole yes fam love you !

What a wonderfully refreshing and extremely valuable interview. Thank you 🙏

As a new instagram creator, these are the kind of conversations I want to have. I loved the way you added spark in it. It's such a good game and I loved hearing a little more personal feelings and experiences.

It is so refreshing to see vulnerability laid out so calmly and respectfully towards each other.

Awesome job you guys! Cant wait to be on this show one day.

Yes!! 🙌🏻 Been waiting for this interview :)

Two of my favorite channels right here. Omfg

OMG ... Yes to YES Theory ..they are such a huge inspiration fro me to put myself out there for videos ...and on Colin and Samirs podcast ...combined with KZfaq Knowledge ...this is gonna be an epic Hour 🔥

Full circle kind of pod… I found y’all when you found yes theory at 700K now your sitting here at 700K with them. Keep up the great work guys! Always informational and quality content!

I enjoyed your episode on the How I Build This podcast. I've been a fan of Guy for a long time and having recently discovered the both of you, it felt like 2 worlds were crashing together. I actually listened to it twice and plan on listening to it again because there is solid value in it.

loved this! i’d love to see an interview with mai pham. her story is so interesting and she has been growing a lot lately.

Great interview very insightful for us followers.. keep up the good work and glad you walked away from corporate

thank yoou so so much for the vulnerability at 32:11 Colin. Love yoou and if ii could id give you a hug
