TLDR: I’m changing jobs & teams. I’m so grateful and excited. Story time...
After 8 transformative years at YouTube, I’m taking a new role at Google in P&D Strategic Content Partnerships, building at the intersection of AI & the ‘creative professional’.
I picked up a video camera when I was 10 years old and started filming my friends skateboarding. Since then, I have been infatuated with how technology impacts how we create content and tell stories, and I have spent my entire career chasing ways to support content creators and storytellers. First at WME, and then at YouTube.
Leaving YouTube was such a hard decision. Why? The people and the product.
Thank you to my teammates, mentors and colleagues. You inspire me and make coming into work fun every day. To all the talented creators that I supported over the years: it’s been a privilege, and thank you for trusting me as your business partner. I’m excited to now just be a fan, and occasionally jump into your live chats. YouTube (especially YouTube Live) has grown and evolved so much during my time on the platform, and I am so proud to have played a very small part in shaping it. I'm very bullish on YouTube's future. I will never stop watching YouTube. I will never stop rooting for you.
Last year, while still at YouTube, I helped launch the AI Futures Fund in Google Labs. It was a crash course in AI and an invaluable opportunity to learn from so many brilliant AI founders and Googlers. Following that experience, I was bitten by the AI bug with deep conviction that AI is a "right now" opportunity.
Anyone who knows me knows that I like to be at the forefront to help build and shape the future. AI will have a profound impact on how we create content and tell stories. I am so excited for the opportunity to help shape it with content creators and storytellers.
Starting Monday, it's on to my next chapter! Also, here is me @ 10yrs old, filming my skate film titled ‘Confidential’ which has NOT yet been published online. Maybe I should publish it on YouTube <3

PrestonPlayz (TBNRFrags) reveals he made $35,000,000 in one year, with about half coming from a licensing deal
Apex: "What was the largest number Forbes reported?"
Preston: "$35,000,000 in one year, more than 50% was from a licensing deal"
Apex: "So they buy your YouTube catalog, they kinda own the revenue that you would generate and they pay you upfront"
Preston: "Right"
Apex: "So that was about $15,000,000 for that year?"
Preston: "Something in that range"

Never shared this story, but about 4 years ago my first follower was @Preston
As a public post, I’d genuinely like to thank you for changing my life brother!!
You are one of the coolest guys anyone can work with and be friends with.
My first post was a repackaging pitch for Preston, which led to Preston offering me a contract with TBNR.
Ultimately leading to where I am today.
You never know where a simple post or text can take you.
Post what you want.
Take those chance,
You might end up getting more out of it than you think.

This is really interesting... ⬇️
It looks like @MrBeast has been testing a new thumbnail style, moving away from his typical over-polished look and leaning more into hyper-realistic imagery.
And this isn't random.
MrBeast has always been at the forefront of YouTube innovation - constantly testing, iterating, and refining based on what actually gets people to click.
So when he shifts something like this, it’s worth paying attention.
Over the past few years, viewers on YouTube have gotten so used to these "MrBeastified" thumbnails, that everything just blends together on their feed. BUT...
When you introduce something that looks hyper-realistic, it disrupts that pattern. It feels new and fresh and even, more believable.
That's what stops the scroll.
I’ve actually been pushing creators over the past few months to experiment more with hyper-realistic thumbnails for this exact reason.
This doesn't change the fact that you still need great ideas behind your thumbnails but - it shows us where things are going on YouTube.
What do you think about this?
