MrBeast explains the difference between copying and pasting versus remixing and why one will never work for creators MrBeast: "it's hard though because i don't want people to use don't like see an outlier and just do the exact video you always have to take it and ideally put a spin on it a twist on it do it your own way because if you just recreate what's already there well it's already popped off like it's not going to work but if you use it as inspiration and then you creatively come up with your own version that's where they work" Jon Youshaei: "What is the difference between like copying and pasting and plagiarism, which is not good and remixing and elevating. And I think it's the difference between copy with taste versus copy and paste." MrBeast: "if you watch someone's video and you can't tell the difference between their video my video besides the budget then it's like yeah you're copy and paste"

MrBeast reveals how he deals with his mental health and the secret strategy he uses to avoid thinking about it Jon Youshaei: "How's your mental health these days?" MrBeast: "I mean, I just work so much, I don't have time to think about it." Jon Youshaei: "Oh, wow." MrBeast: "That's always been my strat. But if you think about, oh, what happens after you die? Do you just see darkness forever? Are you thinking of all these other stuff? And it's like, I'll just keep working. Then you don't even have to worry about it." Jon Youshaei: "Wow."

John Coogan explains how he stayed silent when MrBeast changed a key card game rule and reveals the moment it cost him everything "So prior to us drawing, before you even came into our cube, we were trying to establish the rules of the game, and you mentioned that the ace was going to be the lowest card, and if anybody plays any card game or poker at all, ace is the highest." "And at that point, I said, that's not worth me arguing. I just wanted to play a game. So I didn't say anything. I accepted it. And then at the end, I drew a king and she drew an ace." "How aware were you of how social media and Internet would react as you guys were going through this and making decisions?"

John Coogan reveals the emotional moment his family showed up during the competition and what his wife told him before he signed up "When they came around the corner and I saw my son and I hear him say my name, and then I see my wife and like she's looking at me like she's so proud of me. It was like, it was literally the best night of my life, like the top five best nights of my life." "And in typical Jimmy fashion, they walk around the corner this way, we go into a challenge. And again, I think it's one of the reasons why you see me kind of get a little fired up that night, was I was just, the emotions of that night were beautifully scripted." "My wife was super supportive like literally, just letting you know, like, if you have a chance to call me for a bribe, I'm not going to answer." "And I told her, like, when I signed up for it, I'm like, hey, this is going to be an awesome platform for Lucas. Like, I'm going to be able to tell the world about creatine transport efficiency. If I go far enough, she goes, screw that. She goes, if you're signing up, you better win this thing. And that changed my whole mindset."

MrBeast reveals what it was really like waiting eight months to find out if he would get $5 million and admits there were moments he wondered if it was even real "I was just thinking the whole time, like, is this real? Like, is it legit? Like, when's it going to happen?" "It was hard to adjust for the next month and a half after filming." "Once things started ramping up again, that's when I was like, man, when's it going to happen? Like, I can't wait. I can't wait to, you know, surprise my wife, show her and my kids." Jon Youshaei: "Did you ever have a moment where you're like, am I not going to get $5 million? Is this fake?" "There was a couple moments when I was just like thinking like, is it going to happen? Like, I don't know if it's, is this real? But, you know, just looking back at season one, like, you know, Jeff obviously got paid out. I don't have any distrust in you. I knew you would do it. You're a man of the word and stuff."

MrBeast explains how long it actually takes to make it as a creator "If you're watching this, and you're thinking in the scale of 10 years. If you literally are grinding and you're obsessed and you're just every day studying and learning and you surround yourself with smart people and you just work like hell, to be honest, for 10 years, there's probably a good chance you'll make it." "But if you do that over the course of six months or a year, I don't know. But that's why I like to think over the span of a decade. A lot of people are very short-term sighted but as long as you're innovating, adapting, reinvesting, I think if you do it intelligently you have a good odds of... I don't know."

MrBeast explains the only question every creator should be asking themselves "Subscribers don't matter, views don't matter. I mean they do, but all that comes, everything you want as a creator comes from making the best videos possible." "No one's known for having the best thumbnails right. It's also because they have great, phenomenal content. That's the hard part that very few people do well and that's what people remember." "You're not gonna have some random dude when you're walking down the street like, yo that's the guy with the great thumbnails. They're gonna be like, no that's the guy with the phenomenal videos." "Ask how can I make my videos better. Do that every single day for years and then you'll probably get views."

Brez Scales reveals how he convinced his parents to let him drop out of college and move across the country to live with someone he had never met in person "I call my parents and I was like listen I need to like talk to you guys about something. Could you guys drive down and maybe we go get dinner or something like I want to just talk to you guys." "I sat them down at dinner and I was like I'm gonna drop out of school. They're like what." "They were like well if you drop out like financially you're on your own if you're moving across the country like you're completely on your own. And I was like yeah no like I'm fine."

Brez Scales reveals the insane odds AI calculated for someone to replicate everything he has accomplished "Do you ever sit back and just think like, what the heck? Brez, in the past three years, you've potentially become the most viral person on the internet. You got billions of views. You became a liquid millionaire at 20 years old, you generated 19 million dollars for all your agency clients, and you've basically bought every single one of your dream cars. Do you ever sit back and just think like, what the heck?" Brez Scales: "Yeah, um, bro, even like looking back at my younger self, I think a lot of times I always imagine myself in this position, but now being in it, I think it's pretty surreal. And on a day-to-day basis, I would say there's probably at least one moment every day that I wake up and I'm like, what the heck." "So we actually went and did research. We took all the documents that we had, we put it into AI, and we asked AI what's the chance that someone can be born tomorrow and essentially match all your accomplishments and become Brez. So I want you to guess for a second what that percentage chance is." Brez Scales: "0.01" "You want to guess again?" Brez Scales: "0.1" "AI gave us 0.0005 chance. And when I asked it to be conservative, they gave a 0.001 chance. The chance to become an NBA player..."
