Sara: Are you a Canadian Native? Linus: *Proceeds to say “yeah with a Canadian accent”, gives distance in kilometres, and after politely doing the math to convert it to miles for her, then apologizes* ... Well at least we know Linus is a man of his word.

Linus : looks at at watch “It was about 6 1/2 years ago”

It’s kind of funny that the CEO thought Linus was going in a bad direction and now his company doesn’t exist and Linus is now the CEO of a company

"You can't do creative work when you don't have fun." Eployers of the world: listen to that guy!

The fact that LTT became far more successful on KZfaq than NCIX ever hoped for (like literally 10x more subs), and the fact NCIX went out of business due to poor business management, speaks words.

Thank you for putting your podcast out on KZfaq! AND thank you for having such respectable & brilliant people like Linus on. I've learned so much from him over the years.

I'd listen to Linus all day he's so passionate.

One of the first things Linus says is "Soory". What a good Canadian.

Linus: Unboxing is not considered a core content by us anymore.. Lew: *Sweats in boxes*

Some youtuber: i installed a jellyfish server withOUT Linus tech tips Linus: please wait while I end jellyfish servers

"I have a server at my house.." "Well, not everybody has their own server LINUS!" This is so pure and a 100% accurate description of Linus in a few words xD

22:50 *tries to resist plugging **LTTStore.com*

This man got a 19% in Calc I. That comforts me, somewhat.

When NCIX went bust, the CEO probably thought "I should have listened to Linus"

I know everyone memes about it, and Linus has his moments, but Linus seems like a genuinely great employer, who really gets how to be successful without selling your soul and the souls of your employees.

Great stuff. I've been watching LTT for the past 10 years. Linus is a smart cookie. He's done some great things. Great interview, great insight.

For those of you who don't know, NCIX was one of probably three or four major computer retailers in all of Canada. Then they decided that physical retail was more important than online sales. How far back was this? Newegg didn't have a Canadian branch at the time. But they do now.

KZfaq has failed me for not showing this video in my recommended feed! comment: this interview foreshadows some future videos. One is obv the jellyfish, but the other is Linux' video about him thinking about quitting.

2019 Linus: I don’t care about phones anymore 2020 Linus: Hold my beer

31:41 - This is the first time I've ever heard Linus talk about ADHD. As someone who also has it, I hope he knows what a massive inspiration he is to not just me but so many other people! If I even achieve half of what Linus has achieved in his life already I would be satisfied 😅

Loved this podcast when it came out, so great to revisit! What Linus built with LTT is my biggest inspiration to run with YT "as a job", and you ask such good questions. TY!

16:45 Someone left their cell phone on... Linus? I'm looking at you.

Linus: "We killed unboxings" Short Circuit: ....

27:26 I almost skipped 20 seconds on reflex...

The big thing for me with LTT content, is there is so much amazing videos that I can go back to and rewatch and still enjoy say 5 years later. That's something a lot of tech youtubers don't have, LTT has that "evergreen" content.

wait is this a 2019 reupload? SO SAD, cry. Please do another one with LTT, how about luke and brandon/edzel they also have had great input to ltt.

ICYMI, I know Sara is the only shooter and editor here, that's why it tooks more than 365 days for this video to get uploaded cause she managed a lot of other things as well.

I've followed Linus since the end of 2011 and haven't missed an episode/show.

I love how Linus still wears that shirt! he is half the reason that company went down lol They were hoping he would give a better review for the product they developed but he didn't becaause he is honest (why we love him) and after the kickstarter it went south

Linus: I signed a no poaching clause. Riley: ...

Such a great video, once of my favorites. When I was at LTX last year Linus's ride to the conference left without him and I drove him and another person to the conference center and got to talk with him for about 30-45 minutes and I realized he's very genuine. We didn't even talk about tech, I went on a rant about motorcycles specifically Harley Davidson and was shocked to hear that Linus isn't a fan of rider aids on motorcycles. I wished I would have more time to discuss that because I was ready for an argument about how no person can react as fast or as precisely as modern ABS and traction control in all conditions. And while they do increase the cost of a motorcycle it's money well spent on something that doesn't remove anything from the riding experience while having the ability to make up for a mistake or variable road conditions. Anyway, Linus is super cool as is all of the staff at LMG I got to talk to.

finally been waiting for months!

Your interviews are fantastic. I'm entering the rabbit hole.

At first I couldn’t remember why this felt so familiar from a long time ago. However now I remember listening to this on the creative exchange? I’m glad this is finally on video as well!

Honestly, i always think Linus is just a sarcastic-comedic guy that we shouldnt listen to but actually very informative and knows his thing, turns out hes even more thoughtful and brilliant. And that backstory makes me root for him even more now. Simply great podcast 👍

Linus do be the OG Got me into tech Damn Linus married his tutor lmao

This was such an engaging listen.

When the Incoming SMS white noise is actually a part of the vid and not the speakers, had to sevral times to make sure

VERY MUCH appreciate this longer, uninterrupted (without ads), organic feeling interview where the conversation between host and guest has the freedom to be explored in a variety of directions without being narrowly scripted. Nicely done. This was my first time on your channel and I'm glad I came across it. Also, as a long time fan of LMG, I enjoyed hearing this. Thank you!

Phone fatigue is definitely a thing. I remember when people would wait overnight for the latest iPhone. Now it's not worth money to upgrade. Kind of like when computers completely changed at a rapid pace. Now it's much slower.

THANK YOU for the full thing. I've never watched him being interviewed and this is an hour of it. (LTT fan here)

A long long time ago... I can still remember... how NCIX used to make me smile. Then I had my credit number stolen after an order to NCIX... twice. Probably a coincidence.

This Interview/Podcast is so good! How both of them moderate it and have like a 50/50 splitt of talking time. How Sara asks questions that trigger a nice story and actual conversation of a topic. The same with linus kind of interviewing her of her path, feelings and expectations! Greatly done!

Wow you did a really good job going back and forth with him. I dont think ive ever seen Linus talk so naturally and so long in an interview before. Im glad you got him talking and so open. Always fun to hear new stories about the past from Linus.

I love listening to Linus talk, he inspires me and I cannot put my finger on why. Anyone relate??

Linus goes on podcast, nervous, first line: "HEIL!" way to go linus, nailed it.

Your interviews are so much better than most I’ve seen in the past. You just flow so naturally, and dynamically venture into topics. It’s a pleasure to watch these.

I totally understand Linus' talk about his momentary excellence in certain activities. I'm sure many of us have encountered those moments. It's nice to know Linus is just like any of us and tries his best to make things work to the fullest of his extent. Inspiring.

This was a really great interview, thanks for posting!

This was one of the best interviews I've seen. Well done.

I love linus and this interview lets him shine and show what I have witness him grow over the start of lmg

I'm waiting for more. it's just so much fun watching instead of just listening the audio!

It's funny hearing Linus talk about new hires needing to wait a year to get in front of the camera. And here is Madison coming in and doing her thing before her probation is over.

Great interview, Linus definitely has alot of insight and its cool that he talked about it.

I enjoyed that Sara good job! Linus, was nice to hear that story about fly squad, couldn't help but laugh. Personally I love to swim, all the comments are relatable. Stay safe all. Shout outs from New Zealand 🤙

Hearing Linus' story is really inspiring. This interview has also shown me how Linus is much more than a tech-head. His principles in running his company and even on issues discussed in this video is just spot on for me.

56:19 "It's all eyballs pointing at a screen." (Laughs arrogantly listening to LTT in pocket while exercising.)

Please always post the full video, I wouldn't listen/watch otherwise...

this was such a good video . I subscribed! Hoping for more :)

I've never seen this side of Linus before - really good to catch him "behind the scenes"! Subbed 👍

Linus is such a talker lol. It's so funny watching this after the MKBHD interview. So different lol

I'm subscribed and this is first time jve got a recommendation

Hey this was really cool to hear this interview to I've been an LTT watcher forever and to see that he struggles with some things is amazing. It's a nice little peak into his brain.

w0w I didn't realize it's 1yr already.. love that interview.. very inspiring 😊😊😊

44:12 his face hearing her go to wechat as an example

19:55 super relatable

Great interview, i have subscribed and will deffo watch your other content. :)

this is so good. amazing interview

First time viewer here. What a beautiful, soothing speaking voice to listen to. Sara's isn't bad either ;)

Linus: 19% Calc 100 Yess, someone worse than me!

This was a great watch! And a great interview, thank you for that i needed it!

Just checking out an xps 13 review from linus, and now I'm listening to this interview. Yeahhh, this is going to be a very fulfilling day loll!

1:01:45 There's only 2 microprocessor companies out there. We know who you are referring to.

"Not everyone has a server at their house linus" *r/homelab has joined the chat*

Nice interview! Very well done! Watched the whole thing!

Hey Sara, these are really good interviews! no matter if you are into ltt or not, all the manager ideas and ways to do things and how they started and maintained the flow are great! btw never listened to podcasts but this content is making me having second thoughts .

Dang Dang this was eye opening. Sponsorships separated from Editorial Productions Honest about irrelevancy of sponsors Plex versus iCloud -> I had no idea! Going to try plea because my iCloud is always full and never renewed 😅 Then statistics on videos, markets, industry trends, et cetera I wonder if Linus’s or the team has read Factfulness?! Establishing fun in productions Also said, establishing the atmosphere for the audience. Similar to theater. 🎭 Yeah, duh! It’s inviting people into an experience. You two do great work on this. Having Parameters for what makes a video Evergreen helps asses content. Clickable thumbnail styles are a tactic that needs to be assessed just as any other strategies. Channel for typical Channel for evergreen Channel for . . . Just like Netflix helps people find their niche in stand-up comedy, KZfaq helps people find their niche in content. A brand can serve multiple niches segments into its own channel. Probation Period acclimated the crew with the new member. Then that new member is acclimated just as slowly with the audience. Then being human, admiring mistakes as a brand, make plans to prevent those mistakes, and then actually behaving to prevent those mistakes. Linked here; Casey Neistat also explained the necessity to be human on KZfaq: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/heCZob2Asaydenk.html Linus would have helped out of generosity. (Idk what the debacle was about.) Sara & Linus are great at this. Both were able to quickly dig deep into topics without stagnating. P.S. I would LOVE to know ALL the behind-the-scenes to the social media presence that Sara briefly alluded to. The relationship dynamics, trial and errors, lessons, deals, negotiations, partnerships, efforts, everything. 👁🧠👁

i would actually watch/listen to ur podcast if u put out the video of it.

Learned a ton of new things about Linus during this interview. Great job on the interview!

I really Loved this interview!!!

The interviewer does a great job here, fantastic interview!

Great glasses

Thanks for this interview I've been a subscriber of linus for so long and it was really nice to have seen him in this light.

I love this! Love linus and im happy to see him interacting with other youtubers

44:40 That devilish smile of Linus :-D

"But we can get fin.." "No" "But.." "No, its only the brand" "...huh"

Watched the whole video tonight. You and Linus are both a joy to listen to. Thanks!

Now I want to hear about this EE time. Currently a CpE but I’m pretty happy.

When was that podcast made? A lot of things i've heard are all from Months back...

Steve Wu:I should have listened to him....

I watch Linus because he is passionate, enthusiastic, honest, and very knowledgeable...and that carries over into the rest of his staff. I will watch other channels on many other topics that have knowledge with enthusiasm to varying degrees, but Linus is at this time one of the best... he is also not crazy in any weird ways, or cocky. He is mild mannered and very real and beleivable human being. not putting on a show. So much of this world is fake, not just scripted, even if Linus is reading a script, he is not fake.

I just LOVE how Linus views the whole "iCloud" thing she brought up =) Great content, great questions btw! Thx for this // I totally am used to these..."thumbnails". If it's necessary or better to use them, ffs - then do it. It has no impact on my viewing experience in any other way.

Hey Sara, thank you for posting this! I was diagnosed with ADD and ASD in middle school and I relate so much with you and Linus. This discussion you had with Linus is very insightful and will definitely be something I reference going forward! :D

I like how 6 years later, Linus still sounds salty about the conversation that gave him his career.

great video! great webinar!

I really enjoyed this interview, good questions, good vibe, overall nice relaxed feeling overall. keep it up!!

3:10 The response: "You mad bro?"

That shirt on linus tho.... RIP Jibo :'(

This video made my day! I love it!

This was an amazing podcast! Glad to have watched it. :D Thanks!
