Introduction
I'm usually very reluctant to make an episode about a young founder that hopefully has decades left in their career, but I made an exception for this leaked memo, which is called, How to succeed in MrBeast production.
And really, there's two primary reasons I wanted to make this episode. One, I know Jimmy. He listens to this podcast. We spend a bunch of time talking about the ideas found on the podcast, found from the life and work of history's greatest entrepreneurs and all these biographies. I also flew and visited his headquarters, Beast headquarters with my friend, Rick Gerson.
So Rick has invested in Jimmy's company, and Rick and I spent seven straight hours with Jimmy. We got to see his entire operation. We sat in on meetings with his top team. We talked to his CFO. And I would say we got a very intense download of how Jimmy thinks about YouTube and how he thinks about the business empire that he is building and the business empire that he wants to build.
