About this episode

If you enjoy hearing about the challenges of being a creator, I recommend you check out my conversation with the creator of ‘Call Her Daddy, Alex Cooper, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knPqBc2qJ8E

There’s carving your own lane and then having over 3 billion people view the lane you have carved, all from the starting point of being a 17 year old teen father living in a trailer park.

Casey Neistat is an America YouTuber, vlogger, filmmaker, and co-founder of the mobile application ‘Beme’, which he sold to CNN in 2016. He is one of the most famous people on YouTube, and his channel has over 12 million subscribers and 3 billion views.

In this conversation Casey and Steven discuss topics, such as:

  • How life has thrown unpredicted things at him
  • Having a child as a teenager
  • Leaving home forever on a school night
  • Working 80 hours a week and doing anything to support his son
  • The importance of patience
  • Why he felt like a scumbag
  • Feeling as if he was never heard
  • Why he started making videos
  • The reasons behind his filmmaking style
  • The magic of Mr Beast
  • Why Mr Beast is the most important person in the history of entertainment
  • How great work matter
  • The strangeness of fame
  • Why you need to do something you hate to figure out what you like
  • Being the definition of success but being in debt
  • Becoming a millionaire but disappointing the people who got him there
  • His moment of real darkness
  • The challenge of his daily vlog
  • How his daily vlog was taking away from his life
  • Linking happiness and fulfilment with winning
  • The only thing that gives him fulfilment
  • The importance of knowing that nobody gives a care about you
