MrBeast talks about pursuing a passion when nobody around you gets it. He felt like an outcast until he found a community of people online who understood what he was doing, which kept him going.
Parents are out there, younger kids hear this. It's like when you love something deeply and you devote your life towards it and no one else around you does, you feel like a freak, you feel like an outcast, and you, you know, it causes a lot of self doubt that's not really needed. And your parents telling you you're wasting time, everyone's telling you waste your time. And it makes it, you know, very tempting to just quit and do other stuff. But nothing makes you as fulfilled with that and like, it's just your environment. Like, because the second I got around, I ended up bumping into like these three other guys online that had similar subscriber counts as me when I was 18, 19. And I mean, that was it. Like, I went from people literally asking me if I was mute because I talk so little and like them saying, shut up. All you do is talk about YouTube and what's wrong with you, Be realistic, blah, blah, to we literally had a mastermind call every day for a thousand days in a row. That's cool. Yeah, I told this story on Joe Rogan. People don't believe me. I get tons of messages like, you didn't do that. But yeah, I met these other guys and for once in my life, like I could talk to them. We, no joke, like had a Skype call for 18 hours and I went from like not being able to hold a five minute conversation with a human to being able to talk with guys for eight, 18 hours straight about, you know, studying retention charts and studying why certain videos did well and looking at, hey, These are the 50 best performing videos last week. What did well about them? Why do people click videos? And the only bottleneck was sleep. Like, if it wasn't for sleep, we would probably talk for a thousand hours straight.
