🚀 The Podcast in 3 Sentences
- MrBeast is the most prominent content creator at this moment. Lex and MrBeast are discussing everything related to content creation and MrBeasts vision on this.
- Go big or go home. MrBeast is a broken record, as he proclaims himself. Create value for the viewer. That’s it. Be obsessed about it and go big on providing value. The rest is secondary. It is better to create one fantastic piece of content than 100 mediocre ones. However, if you start as a creator, publish a lot, iterate, and learn.
- Sometimes the conversation shifted towards topics related to content creation, like hiring a team, platforms, etc. And even with these topics, you notice the value-driven mindset of MrBeast. If there is a hire within the team that isn’t a perfect fit. Find out what they would instead do, and help them get there instead of just firing them. Create value.
🎨 Impressions
It shouldn’t be surprising that MrBeast is brilliant, considering he is today's most significant content creator. But still, it surprised me how insanely well thought through his Youtube channel is. His obsession with making quality content is a big part of his success. Getting a glimpse of what is happening behind the scenes on such a channel is fascinating. With his other businesses, MrBeast has over 100 people working for him. He tried to hire people from Disney and other major media houses to grow his businesses. Think about it. A Youtube channel is hiring people from such companies. The media productions on Youtube are getting better and better. I enjoyed listening to this podcast.
