Colin & Samir are unmatched in their interview style. The questions are so well thought out and naturally flows with the pace of the conversation. It’s podcasting art. Arun also answers every question with careful thought, logic, and precision. The ironic thing is you talk about how Arun almost forces the viewer to watch his entire video but then 2 hours passes on this video, and I’m left puzzled at where the time went! Awesome stuff guys 👊🔥

There are few specific moments in content history where people transcend, from being just a face (or hands) of a channel , or a personality to someone with legacy who just by their presence and their experiences can manage to inspire generations to come. Arun is such a person. I relate to him on a lot of levels and the hard work which he puts in to constantly be a true version of himself, is so difficult to do. In a world of appearances and experiences, presenting one's true self while also caring about how the audience is going to percieve you in rare and Arun is at the Epitome of that. Colin and Samir like everytime have the superhuman ability to unlock conversations at levels which therapists would fail to do. And it is not just a unilateral conversation about being a creator, but an honest exploration of the human being behind the creator. Colin, Samir and Arun was a collab I did not know I needed but this is a game changer, as it not only have tenets about what it is like to be one of the biggest creators on youtube, but also mindsets, approaches and intellectual thought experiments, which contribute towards the process of evolution in the bigger picture. So much love to all of you! I truly feel grateful and privileged to have access to such thoughts and explorations, which are so well articulated and honest.

@andresvidoza 8 ай бұрын

We say the tech industry seems like its saturated but honestly, theres so much out there to discover as a creator within that niche. There are tons of way to deliver informative content in a unique way and I think Arun does it so well. Very inspiring.

MrWhosetheBoss is one of my favorite creators and I was curious to see how you guys, whom I had never heard of until today, could possibly be involved in a video with him that is almost 2 hours long. After watching it,I must commend you both on the quality of the interview you conducted. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. I have since subscribed, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of your videos, and will continue to look forward to new content from your channel ❤

Great conversation as always, and I'm not done watching the whole thing yet, but the instance Arun talks about his experience in school and being the only Indian, as well as Samir's, it made me tear up. I'm half Indian - half Filipino, and it wasn't easy being the only kid in class who looked like me. Still watching the rest of the video! :)

Really good point that you guys touched on when talking about the topic about videos being released first compared to videos being released later with better quality behind it. Samir is right. If you want the early news especially in the “tech world” then Twitter/X is the place to be. But when you want to know the full ins and outs then usually even myself would have in my mind that when Arun or MKBHD release a video I’d watch them even if they release it a good few days later. I mentioned these two channels because they are a level above imo and the explaining that goes behind what they say is very well put. This is just my opinion and I ain’t trying to discredit other channels in tech but these guys have set a different bar in terms of content in the tech world.

This is the second video I've ever watched by Colin and Samir. The first one was the video they did with Marques. At that video , Marques was the one who drove all the conversation, they seemed like their existence there wasn't needed and they weren't even asking the question they should have. I don't know if it was because Marques wanted to control the narrative or not. But this video is 180 degrees reverse of that video. They drove the conversation but with giving enough breathing room for the guest. They asked the questions, and very good ones by the way, that the viewers would like to be asked to Arun. Overall, great interview.
