1) UA-cam is eating all media:
• 20 hours/month average watch time
• 5x more than Netflix
• Mr. Beast: "UA-cam will eat all of media"
2) Three metrics that matter:
• Click-through rate (CTR)
• Average view duration (AVD)
• Average view percentage (AVP)
"These are the holy trinity of UA-cam metrics" - Bilal
3) Jenga storytelling method:
• Show end goal upfront
• Build tension throughout
• Example: Last to take hand off Lamborghini wins it
4) Minute-by-minute retention strategy:
• Minute 1: Most crucial, invest in lighting
• Minutes 1-3: Show rapid story progression
• Minute 3: Re-engage viewers with a big moment
"At 6 minutes, viewers are on autopilot to the end" - Mr. Beast
5) A, B, C player framework:
• A players: Obsessive, coachable, best in the world
• B players: New hires with A player potential
• C players: "Poisonous", transition out immediately
"C players are awful to work with. I know, I've been one." - Trunk
6) Use consultants as cheat codes:
• Tap into expert knowledge quickly
• Example: Call previous world record holder for advice
• Saves time and money on research
7) Creativity saves money:
• $20k cash prize vs. year's supply of Doritos
• Doritos prize more viral, costs only $1,300
• Think outside the box for engaging rewards
8) End videos abruptly:
• Signals completion to UA-cam algorithm
• Leaves viewers wanting more
• Avoid drawn-out endings that hurt retention
"If you're having a good time and it ends abruptly, you're left in that state" - Bilal

Brilliant pod Gents, loved the breakdown and insights. Much appreciated! Cheers
🙌🏾🙌🏾
That means Trung paid $300 for his mic?
Took me ages. But the Shure hit hard.
I took this podcast as investment advice for 2 years and now I’m rich. What do I do? Who do I sue? That’s what rich people do right?
😂😂😂 pls cut Jack a check
@@trungphan5853 can u tell him to check his pager
Can’t believe I didn’t hear one Only Phans joke.
Hahaha damn can’t believe we forgot that one 🤦🏽♂️
Founder mode! Let’s go!
Long live the King. Long live Companies House.
😂
First
🙌
Famous feuding British brothers got to be Will and Harry?
Ah! Yes, they are more famous.
@@trungphan5853 oasis more famous than anyone is still "all vibes no facts", giving the people what they want👌
haha damn yes beats oasis & the neville's
NIA has adjusted revenue. paid in Vibez
🙏🙏🙏
NGL I missed having some Jack Butcher commentary on the Costco segment. He a bonafide "Kirkland" legend
we gonna tee him up on the sushi platter next time
TIL the term "podcast" was coined by apple - a combination of ipod and broadcast. wild. i would say it seems like Apple fumbled the bag on that one but when you have a $61B cash on hand...sounds like they doing aight
You joke about retention but never have I ever stopped an NIA episode before the end.
Legend 🙏🏽
Appreciate the listens, always!
NIA Wednesdays!
When are we getting the NIA music playlist?
Bilal will do it!
@@trungphan5853 why, we already what he tunes into. Top 40 from the the early aughts :p
guilty
lfg🚀
First view. Lessgo❤️🔥
ledge!
Idk but I do hope so! I'm guessing stock would be going up if they were winning the war yet........ it's down 3%( Anybody think it's worth getting into netflix this late in the game?If I don't have any stock)
Refurboration
L take
Trung, how many C4s did you drink before this episode? I had to drop the volume on this one, my dude!
“Community adjusted ebitda”😂😂
In awe
And the main majority of Mozilla revenue is coming from Google. A big part of that, I think, is Google wanting to keep them around to help prevent the “monopoly” conversation
That’s a great point. They’d get clobbered if deals were wiped.
Great pod per usual. Just wanted to share that Warren Buffet thinks the corporate tax rate is likely to rise soon, so he wants to secure profits on Apple with minimal tax. He’s not bearish, but he also doesn’t mind sitting on a cash pile atm. His thesis is the govt will likely need to raise taxes in the coming years, as the fed corporate tax is near the lowest it’s been in awhile.
Ah, very true. I missed that note. He probably also didn’t want Apple to get too overweight since ytd rally?
Was Venice in that top ten??
<3
Are old checks from checkbooks considered to be bonds or stocks?
Thank you for not covering politics - this episode was refreshing break from the typical timeline rn
need a break from it too!
ngl, if i ever ran into trung on these mean streets of vancouver. i fear he would no longer like my youtube comments. still givin him my duffins tho. good pod boys
lg❤️❤️
Yoooooo it’s Wednesday! NIA boys lfg
LESGOOO
Love the podcast but I gotta say Bilal has got the worst taste in music 😂. I mean there should be no reason to listen to Kiss Kiss in 2024. What Spotify radio station are you tuned to for that song to come up? Unlistenable music for Millennials?
Hahah that’s the 2000s Spotify playlist taking me for a loop
Am glad Bilal called it out, this is technically a meeting 😂
Jack's got a few millie in the bank but uses a potato cam.
LOL
Legends as always
locked in lads
I was offered a bag in Sydney, AUS - yes, I had an account there. No SA though. I purchased random things throughout the year. I said no to the bag. It was too much to spend. Maybe I’ll buy one 2nd hand. A vintage when they were made better.
Another mostly good episode. The 20 minutes spent fawning over a mediocre, two-hit band from the early 90's should probably be edited out.
blasphemy
in a long enough timeline all quotes end up quoting something repackaged by jack butcher
jack was on fire
this podcast episode was interesting. Would you do another one on TMZ? I've heard lawyers invested in TMZ back then as a type of business model. Since Harvey lurked at courts or court websites everyday to uncover something new about celebs, there is this rumour he had deals with lawyers going back as 2005, 2006 to defame celebs and then the lawyers get them out of the defamation, like a pyramid type of scheme. I couldn't find anything about which people invested in TMZ. the only known stuff is it was sold for 50 million to fox few years ago.... maybe you're more lucky in finding information. appreciate in advance.
George is superb
Elite episode
jack with a classic statement “optimizing for a different scene”
First time watching and had so much fun
This may or may not be the first comment.
so... is it sticky b/c you spit on that thang?
ayo
❤❤❤❤
George is the guy man
Thanks for the watch Ivan! And GM a legend
Sticky George
😂😂
Best guest ever
Rolled through slinging that good stuff
