37:45 I also agree that the 30 day fast video was very relatable and personal. I keep leaving comments on Jimmy's videos that I LOVED the old content where no prize money was spent, no high tech, just personal, Jimmy, or Jimmy and his friends doing stuff or talking. This first person, calm, personal Jimmy I really enjoy. Jimmy doesn't need the lights and flares. Just sit him down and let him talk, or exist. No screams or sudden cuts: you have my attention. I love the personal, longer vids. Ironically I actually see more personal 'Jimmy content' on other channels then on his own, and I wish he would have a more personal channel where he just chills and talks. :)

Loved this interview, the one thing I'd love to pick his brain about, because I've heard jimmy talk about that he has talked to big studios like Netflix before but never came to a deal, I think eventually their has to be some kinda integration between KZfaqrs and these streaming services. And if they have had the first talks maybe what that is gonna look like. Maybe a Netflix docu series weekly showing how Jimmy makes a video, or bringing these big KZfaqrs in to start hosting shows to bring their followings with.

I believe much of Jimmy's success is because of the organic nature of his videos. I am old person (50 years old). I started watching the videos because my son was watching Mr. Beast and I wanted to vet what he was watching on the internet. The first video I watched was when Jimmy was trying to survive under water for 24 hrs (he actually did not succeed). After watching that video, I realized that the material was age appropriate unlike Nelk videos. I also enjoyed the videos because of the content that Jimmy was producing. It was entertaining and it always seemed to leave you with a good feeling. Fast forward nearly 5 years later and Jimmy is still putting out amazing content that is still age appropriate and truly organic. My son goes to school at ECU (located Greenville, NC). I will continue to pull for someone like Jimmy because even with all of his success he is a young man that you still want to pull for! I look forward to see how Jimmy grows his channel and absolutely love the philanthropy side of his content as well. Wishing bigger and better things for JImmy and hope it leads other content creatures to copy his organic and safe content.

It had me personally questioning how much of myself I'm willing to risk in my own business.

@Colin and Samir - This was sooo interesting to see the "backstage" look into this Manager's point of view (not only regarding MrBeast). This brings me to think; MrBeast has full confidence in this guy BUT, now that MrBeast is so large and has so much staff, how do they deal with people who are not well intentioned and want to (or have succeeded) in defrauding him? Or do you think they factor that in their expenses/losses? Jimmy seems to be such a nice person, I truly hope this is a non-issue. Thanks for putting this interview together. Great stuff.

I haven’t watched any mr best videos until I saw the videos on your channel, the behind the scenes peaked my interest!

The tiktoker discussion really got me thinking, and I realized that I also don’t really remember the brands of a lot of tiktok creators. I recognize them when they show up in my feed, but I don’t really know their brand that well. (As a casual user) I have noticed that the exception to this (at least for me) is people who use tiktok but build their brand primarily elsewhere. Some good examples would be John or Hank Green, or Dan Povenmire - these guys’ primary source of revenue and branding is outside of tiktok, and they just use tiktok to expand their reach further (and also have fun, it seems) Guys like them are probably the only tiktokers or shorts producers who will make it through the recession largely unscathed, because they don’t rely on brand deals through tiktok to stay afloat. Really interesting stuff to think about

This is interesting! Informative but also a bit vague. I assume there’s only so much he can say but solid advice. It does make me realize you should interview LTT because I believe their business model is almost entirely in house. They broker their own ad deals and stuff as well as run their own merch-line.. Very different model from Jimmy.

Pure gold - thanks Colin and Samir for bringing Reed on and thanks Reed for the solid nuggets. Now off to listen to the full interview (but first, need a pen and some paper).

I always wondered what networks had to offer creators. I've heard so many horror stories about how predatory they can be (i.e. Smosh), but this is the first time I've heard the head of a network speak on the symbiotic benefits of the arrangement. Very interesting.

I recently started to watch more of Jimmy's videos. Incredibly brilliant young man!! Great to see how grounded he is within his success. I find one thing in this video ironic. Having just learned about how particular Jimmy is with his content and editing. The Nord VPN sponsorship clip is funny😊. Is it "tracking" or 'hacking". The video is excellent, just poking some healthy humor. Keep up the great work, and continue to inspire!!

Mr beast's not eating food video is also one of my favourite mr beast videos. I also liked the isolation one, the buried one, etc. where the focus is on the story of just one person. I am also excited for the upcoming 100 day circle video which was hinted in the no eating video.

Honestly a great interview, it's interesting to see what goes on with managing a creator / creator management company.

Colin & Samir: I suspect that a large portion of your audience is also like me - NOT interested in becoming a creator, but interested in the talent management, production, operations, and digital economy industries from other angles. I’d love more videos on how to become like Reed!

Watching this video in March 2024, where he now has almost 250 million subscribers is really surreal. It sounds like all his ventures combined bring in between $500-700 million dollars a year, which he then reinvests into everything. Dude's probably gonna be KZfaq's first billionaire within a year or two. Completely mind blowing.

For creators you guys are the best. This is the insight I have been wondering about. The behind the scene person who keeps the engine running is so intriguing. Really took a lot from this one.

Well, I hadn't planned on watching a 45 minute interview with the manager of a channel I've never watched, but yet it was still oddly fascinating.

I got so hooked by the title and the thumbnail of this video that I thought it was a 20 minute video and when I checked it was when I was 40 minutes through and I only needed 10 minutes to finish. You guys did great this time it was amazing!

Awesome episode! Slight feedback for production: the gate on the audio is quite distracting when listening on high impedence headphones. The room tone is not too bad so would be no harm leaving the audio without a gate. Edit: Example of what I mean is clear around 25:20 :)

New creator here, so I was very interested in the topic! One of those secret sauce check list items they look for is most definitely obsession. Obsession fuels many high-achievers. Colin and Samir, thank you for the great content. Super interesting and helpful. I've seen two of your videos thus far and both were very interesting. I subbed.
