ABOUT US
We’re Colin and Samir, creators based out of Los Angeles California. We make videos about the creator economy, and the lessons we’ve learned over 10 years of being on UA-cam. We also interview creators and try to get to the bottom of what’s working on UA-cam and where the creator economy is headed.
This was an absolute pleasure - much love! ❤
You are very hard-working to make the best tech videos on the internet. Great work, love your videos!!
We really like you, Arun
Love to see you share more of your insight arun ❤
Love your videos!
Congratulations on everything my guy 🎉
Great interview!
Hello Jerry!!
Hi zack
Yooo
Scratches at level 6

Amazing conversation, learned so much :) Love Arun’s balance of brand / quality / wanting to leave the viewers feeling positive with the metrics / performance / incentive for team side of things. Excited to see where things go from here 🚀
After the last podcast with Ali, he convinced them to come to his studio and try podcast there to assure that they are paying so much in their studio. Can´t forget that part of the video 😅
I feel honored to be the second person to respond to your comment Ali
@@adeunadeniyi357not that deep bro
Good to see you here
Love your videos Ali! They have been really helpful, Looking forward to reading your book.
Arun is a perfect example of hard work and resilience paying off
facts.
and copying other ppl lol blud tryna be the indian MKBHD
@@edvinasarcher364🤡. he's British. ọdẹ
@@edvinasarcher364 He and Marques make VERY different styles of videos. No where near copying
lol 1 out of a million people, it pays off
Colin & Samir are unmatched in their interview style. The questions are so well thought out and naturally flows with the pace of the conversation. It’s podcasting art. Arun also answers every question with careful thought, logic, and precision. The ironic thing is you talk about how Arun almost forces the viewer to watch his entire video but then 2 hours passes on this video, and I’m left puzzled at where the time went! Awesome stuff guys 👊🔥
Exactly my thoughts!! Such a great interview and C&S asked the best questions
@@NoLabCoatRequired They are scary good with the timing and quality of questions!
It's luck, but not luck. Very true!
hi fortnite guy
luck and opportunity.
Luck through hard work
5:56 Oooooooo
An absolutely fascinating creator who has story telling skills that trump all other.
7 Years is A lot just to gain attraction,Arun is an absolute example of hardwork and dedication paying off.
not sure what they mean by 7 years since his oldest video is from 2011
@@ninjajou10 i did find that odd how many years he was off by, it was only 4 lol
@@ninjajou10Well they said 7 years till he got 1 million, then another 6 or so to get to 15 million
I don't think it's hard work I think it's enthusiasm and a hobby. If he didn't enjoy it intrinsic motivation he wouldn't continue for years.
Yours is the only channel to make a long-form podcast video so enjoyable. You ask the right questions with the right humor. There is so much we can learn from these videos. Loved it.
Exactly how I felt watching this. It's the first time I'm watching any of your videos, and I couldn't believe how much had passed when I checked.
He has such a friendly face. Everything he says ends on this slightly mysterious smile.
Arun is just such a great guy. 100% deserves his success
There are few specific moments in content history where people transcend, from being just a face (or hands) of a channel , or a personality to someone with legacy who just by their presence and their experiences can manage to inspire generations to come. Arun is such a person. I relate to him on a lot of levels and the hard work which he puts in to constantly be a true version of himself, is so difficult to do. In a world of appearances and experiences, presenting one's true self while also caring about how the audience is going to percieve you in rare and Arun is at the Epitome of that. Colin and Samir like everytime have the superhuman ability to unlock conversations at levels which therapists would fail to do. And it is not just a unilateral conversation about being a creator, but an honest exploration of the human being behind the creator. Colin, Samir and Arun was a collab I did not know I needed but this is a game changer, as it not only have tenets about what it is like to be one of the biggest creators on youtube, but also mindsets, approaches and intellectual thought experiments, which contribute towards the process of evolution in the bigger picture. So much love to all of you! I truly feel grateful and privileged to have access to such thoughts and explorations, which are so well articulated and honest.
We say the tech industry seems like its saturated but honestly, theres so much out there to discover as a creator within that niche. There are tons of way to deliver informative content in a unique way and I think Arun does it so well. Very inspiring.
Colin & Samir have perfected making the guest feel comfortable sharing it all. Thanks guys!
I love when both of you talk about your own journey like you do at the 36 minute mark. We would love to continue seeing this.
I've been waiting for this video for a long time. And you even got us two hours, awesome!
Love this UK stent of conversations, It's interesting to see how both sides maneuver through questions about challenges you both are facing, but also the mutual love to see each other win and grow. Tech is a bonding topic that will always be relevant within the creator space. Keep killin it guys!
19:30: Growing up Indian - never related so much to a topic. Need to talk about this more, especially for a lot of Indian Americans out there.
WHAT I just now realized what the term food for thought means… wow. Like maybe you don’t do anything with the thought now. But it just gets your brain thinking about it.
This is amazing. Thank you so much! Still watching and I can't stop.
man you're here!
thank you for the longer uploads
Thank you guys, it’s been years i have been learning so much from both of you. You are doing gods work!
I love the approach of quality over speed of release to enrich the overall viewing experience: Not necessarily being the channel that first breaks the news, but the one who best covers the content.
Absolutely loved hearing the conversation between you 3, much love!!!
What a great interview! He’s so inspiring and his editing is god level tbh
For me, this is one of the best conversations to date on the channel. Love all three of you!
Omg thank you for asking about the name! I always wondered. Bummer he didn't reveal but now we know we can't know! Haha
This is first podcast that watched fully without skipping or getting bored
This is most mature and serious yet still humour podcast i ever watched
Loved it. Watched the whole thing & settling in for more!
I watch in 15-30 minute increments. I love how UA-cam will continue to show your videos on my homepage until I've finished. No other platform does that.
Excited to watch this one
MrWhosetheBoss is one of my favorite creators and I was curious to see how you guys, whom I had never heard of until today, could possibly be involved in a video with him that is almost 2 hours long. After watching it,I must commend you both on the quality of the interview you conducted. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. I have since subscribed, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of your videos, and will continue to look forward to new content from your channel ❤
Great conversation as always, and I'm not done watching the whole thing yet, but the instance Arun talks about his experience in school and being the only Indian, as well as Samir's, it made me tear up. I'm half Indian - half Filipino, and it wasn't easy being the only kid in class who looked like me.
Still watching the rest of the video! :)
There’s so many parallels of certain struggles and dynamics between content creators and myself as a tattooer. I think that’s why I align and hold a lot of you guys in such high regard. This was a great conversation and watch. 🙏
I was literally waiting for Samir and Colin to interview Arun fow a while now. finally, it happened. thanks for the thorough insight, guys
Could listen the whole day to this interview. Amazing guest!
You guys did a great job with this interview. You somehow managed to ask all the right questions.
Great interview. I have been watching Arun for a few months now. I find his videos refreshing and uplifting. Keep it up! Also Colin and Samir do a wonderful job in these interviews. Looking forward to what is next.
Love all of this. Thank you so much
The excitement of my youtube feed just gets better and better
This was very fun and insightful conversation to listen to. Thank you Colin, Samir & Arun
Waiting for this interview. Finally❤
I was looking forward to this interview, and its amazing!
Colin and Samir with Mrwhosetheboss is a great combo
Its cool to know more bts of his channel
This has been the best visually looking interview yet. Lighting is 🔥
Brilliant podcast as always!
i have been watching him even before he made app videos, so happy to see someone I've been watching for so long.... grow 🥂❤️
Beautiful interview, always love listening to him.
Really great interview! Felt like it had a natural flow, and covered some really interesting topics :)
lets goo ,I have been waiting for this one.Being a tech creator myself I can learn a lot from this, thanks
I absolutely love their channel!!!
These podcast really are incredible every time y’all. Great job! Arun’s thoughts were really interesting. I think he has a way of giving so much information and value with basically everything he says.
Love the part of this interview when he mentions his first phone, I can relate to this with the Samsung galaxy alpha. It was my very first proper smartphone and I was just utterly addicted and amazed!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE. TURN IT UP
1:29:06 is the moment the big question is asked.
I'm amazed by the amount of information I learnt in these 2 hours. Well done!
This is exactly what I needed to hear.
I found your channel just couple months ago and have been watching tons of your videos and MrWhoseTheBoss was the first creator I was hoping you’d make a video about
What an insightful watch. I've literally binged on the Mr Beast, Creator Roundtable and now this one.
I was waiting for this!
Great Podcast , Thank you guys for this awesome conversation.
Thank you guys for making my day. This was a perfect way for me to start my weekend.
LETS JUMP INTO THE CHAIR LIKE MrWhosetheBoss everyday.
Was waiting for this conversation for so long! mrwhosetheboss is one of the best tech creators out there! 💯
Enjoyed this one a lot! Arun is an inspiration to a lot of us, and I just want to say that I’m coming for that “biggest tech UA-camr in the UK” etc title some day lol!
Keep being awesome, you are all amazing!!
Another mega interview guys thank you! Really enjoyed learning about Arun!
This was an amazing conversation.
Loved this!
Awesome! Thanks for the video!
Another great interview. Although my channel doesn't focus on tech, I can totally relate to the section discussing the choice between the channel or a career outside of creating content. I'm on the verge of quitting my main job, but it's still a scary prospect!
I wished this existed, and now it does! Really great podcast :)
Amazing. I learnt so much, about both Arun, business UA-cam business and management. Stuff I’d never have imagined I’d have learnt. Thanks all!
Great interview. Colin and Samir ask great questions. Arun is so resilient and detailed.
"I may not be the best at it. But it's the most me!"
Colin
That struck a Chord to not always judge myself to harshly, brother!
I think this may well be the longest video I have ever watched on UA-cam. Job well done!❤🙂👍
So interesting! 40 minutes flew by!
Really good point that you guys touched on when talking about the topic about videos being released first compared to videos being released later with better quality behind it.
Samir is right. If you want the early news especially in the “tech world” then Twitter/X is the place to be. But when you want to know the full ins and outs then usually even myself would have in my mind that when Arun or MKBHD release a video I’d watch them even if they release it a good few days later. I mentioned these two channels because they are a level above imo and the explaining that goes behind what they say is very well put. This is just my opinion and I ain’t trying to discredit other channels in tech but these guys have set a different bar in terms of content in the tech world.
loved this interview
i watched the entire thing and learnt alot
Fantastic interview and great knowledge. Did anyone else notice there was no Colin and samir graphic at the end of the video? Just the music? Just curious
Finally! Thanks Colin and Samir
this is a lovely video. very very well done.. Congratulations.
great interview....insightful. 🙏
I watched full video and the entire conversation was absolutely interesting and very much genuine...Arun Sir was genuine as always.
2 hours with mrwhosetheboss. awesome! thanks so much
The google part was the best and funniest part of the video. You would think it's embarrassing and people would judge you but like I'm so glad y'all didn't cut that part out because it's moments like these that actually make people fall in love with your channel. Just the perfect amount of imperfection. Thanks for the laugh. Really appreciate you guys for making such amazing podcasts. I love listening to them. I learn so much about being a youtuber. Wishing you guys tons of success!
Loved this interview. Hugs ❤❤❤❤
Finally! Thank you!
"what makes it hard, is what makes it good" is a whole lot of words to say "no pain, no gain"
I love this bloke so much :) The interesting counter was off the charts for this one too!
absolutely incredible insights from Arun
This is one of the shorter videos I have watched on UA-cam I wish Colin and Samir would make all the interviews 3-4 hours long
This is the second video I've ever watched by Colin and Samir. The first one was the video they did with Marques. At that video , Marques was the one who drove all the conversation, they seemed like their existence there wasn't needed and they weren't even asking the question they should have. I don't know if it was because Marques wanted to control the narrative or not. But this video is 180 degrees reverse of that video. They drove the conversation but with giving enough breathing room for the guest. They asked the questions, and very good ones by the way, that the viewers would like to be asked to Arun. Overall, great interview.
Yes! Finally an interview with Arun!
Fantastic interview. Love the story as I can relate to some of the things. I love tech. My channel is relatively new. Under 4 years. UA-cam isn't making me enough money to make it full time but I love it so much and definitely Not giving up.
This edit is so satisfying omgggg.
Killer content as usual, guys! I love it!
I have a curiosity: Do you usually plan your outfits before filming something?
I observed that many of your videos have a strong overall color palette, and your clothes' color choices seem to contribute a lot to it.
i appreciate ali abdal allowing you guys to use his studio but it feels so different than the usual place haha
Very insightful conversation! Though his situation is way different than mine (millions of subs vs new channel, tech vs Christian lifestyle, team vs solo), I love how it brought out many principles that I can learn from and apply to my situation.
Ya'll been killing it with the guests
Agree that
This is an absolutely inspiration …. Grinding for 7 years with no ROI … inspirational for us smaller creators .. Much Love Arun … Love ur vids
Bruh I really listened to almost 2 hours straight 😮😮❤ good content
