Thank you so much. I’m sure there are a lot of golden Nuggets throughout this interview that I might be able to find. I am truly grateful to you for providing the meat that I started the video for.
1:26:51 I needed to hear this. in 2023 I lost 100k worth of contracts and projects because I tried to do too much at once, and failed on both. Then I put myself about 20k in debt to accomplish moving to and from the locations I had to be in to attempt my goals. Then I got depressed and stopped fostering my relationships built over YEARS that helped me get these contracts. Now I'm starting from nearly square one on both fronts. And trying every single day to not beat myself up, pull myself out of debt, and continue building. My biggest single mistake was not trusting my gut. I let myself be swayed by people pushing me to do every opportunity I had, at once.
Oh wait the sticks guys did meet Colin and Samir though! They were in Ryan’s joyride announcement video that they directed. It seems like they’re waiting for the right time to have them on, because it would be kind of hard to make one for them after already meeting them once before.
Hey Colin and Samir! I wanted to say thank you, not just for this video but for what you guys do in general. Your guys' show is partly what inspired me to make my own, and I've learned a lot about creativity and reaching out to other creatives from you guys. If it wasn't for your show, I don't know if I would have been able to get in touch with people who's work genuinely inspires me. I mean, I never would've thought I could get to talk to my own musical influences (Bill Wurtz & Disasterpeace just to name a couple). Especially since I'm just a community college student who is doing their own show as mostly a passion project. Thanks for everything, please keep being you and I look forward to your guys' work in the future!
“Nice people are f’ng awesome” now that is a motto to live by. The thing is that you can’t fake being nice for long, it comes from one’s upbringing and is tied to who they are as an individual. One of the best parts of having a channel for me and a surgical practice is that many people who like my style share similar attributes themselves, including being nice! (Most of the time). That makes for a great experience for me, the patient, and my entire team.
It doesn't just "come from your upbringing". Plenty of super kind and wonderful people had narcissistic and awful people raising them. And they learned to be the opposite. It really depends.
This is, without a doubt, one of the best interviews I've heard in a long time. It's rare to encounter something that feels truly life-changing, but this interview certainly was. There were so many valuable insights from both sides that I can't wait to listen to it again. Thank you, gentlemen!
Some segments to highlight: 0:22:45 Mistakes, embarrassment, these can either be taken as data you improve on, or you can be defensive and hide from them. 1:19:00 The source of many mistakes is fear. The inability to learn from mistakes is also fear. And at the end, they bond that they have shared experience. If you realize other people have lived the same things, it does help alleviate some of the fear.
1:13:10 resonated with me so hard. I am a 19 year old who NEEDED to hear this whole bit from somebody who was in my shoes once. I think one of the core reasons that young adults struggle with depression so much is that we feel the need for everything to come NOW - finding friends, being validated, building a career, being worth something. Thank you for stating exactly what we all need to hear - it’s okay that it’s not happening now, and we’re all doing just fine. Splendid interview.
Really great interview so far. I was someone who was “waiting in line” at the first door for the longest time (college, having a 9-5, etc.) until I became disillusioned with the industry I was in. I realized that I liked the *idea* of working in big tech, but once I was in it.. it was a lot different than I had thought. I took a risk by starting a UA-cam channel and embracing cold emailing 😅 I probably had the most failures I’ve ever had in my life… but also the most successes. The “third door” is really the only way you can ever choose your own path. It’s a lot harder, but it’s a lot more worth it.
After watching you guys for 3 years now starting at the young age of 15 this video meant so much to me. The massive gift of knowledge i’ve gained watching videos this put the ribbon on top. This was a deep dive into the early stages of starting a creator business and a real eye opener that everyone sucks at the beginning. Very good conversation and would recommend to anyone who wants to start.
This guy is just on the next level of thinking now because of all his experience. Also was thinking it'll be about emails and was like "should I watch this" but trusted my gut and just wanna say Thank You guys.
I really enjoyed this interview with Alex Banayan! "The Third Door" is such an inspiring read, and it was great to hear more about his journey firsthand. One of my favorite quotes from the book is, "When you change what you believe is possible, you change what becomes possible."
I am just blown away by the values, settings and experiences of the three of you. Blessed to live in an age where I can listen and follow conversations like these. This is awesome.
LOVED this conversation! It unexpectedly spoke to me so much. I came in thinking it was about how to do cold outreach (which it did mention), but it was so much richer than that. I especially can resonate with the end part where Alex says The Third Door also applies to our LEARNING. Just to follow that inner tug. I'm definitely on that journey right now, just listening for the tug and trusting it'll lead me to the right door at the right time. Or inspire me with an idea for what door to actually pursue. Thanks for always sharing such quality and honest conversations!
When I first opened this video, I looked for the timestamp for the cold email. But after listening to Alex speak I was so intrigued. It was like I was reading “The Alchemist”, it was just great storytelling and lessons that came with each thing he had to say. Incredible video, I will be revisiting this often. I am also definitely getting his book.
As someone who has lived a life that is restless for change periodically, the one thing they don't address is the fact that life is additive. Often, the skillset and experience from the first doors prepare you uniquely to find and execute at the 3rd doors.
Took me 5 days to watch and it might be the best Colin and Samir podcast they’ve made specifically for me. This a “How to get your foot in the door” podcast and it’s invaluable to me.
this went DEEP 🔥🔥soo much super cool psychology, laughs, and valuable advice we all need to hear. easily their best interview so far, and not even by a UA-cam creator!! 😳😳
Thank you for this interview. I really resonated with the perception of what it means if I can find that one important person who can change my life. 90% of my clients come through a personal recommendation. I cannot put a number on the amount of hours I spent sitting down with someone just sharing free info, giving a free personal evaluation session without them taking on the class or simply signing up and figuring out how to improve my thing or how can I create the best system. Years later the reputation is so high I barely advertise. As it was said you can only connect the dots after. Patience and grind are so important. Not everyone is ready to do that.
I find it very comforting to learn about that syndrome where you have an initial meeting lined up and your imagination jumps ahead to everything being signed, sealed and delivered. For me it's so true - not just in my professional life, but in my personal life! Perhaps even moreso in my personal life. Sigh. Nice to have company, though... Thanks for an insanely informative and delightful interview.
I listen to this interview yesterday on Spotify, but decided to come back and right down my take aways because this vidéo really help me in this stressful times. My take aways 1.THINGS TAKE TIME! 2. Create a body of work without the fear of failure 3. Know where you're going: have a plan, a story, a mission that people can understand and help you reach 4. Don't be afraid to ask for help, but make it easy for people to help you 5. Be mindful of your failures and when asking for someone time 6. Be Nice and treat every opportunity like if it was THE ONE
I loved the recognition that these learnings can be applied to people of all ages. I notice many times referencing 'young creators' which can feel frustrating to older creators who now see value in how their vast experiences can be shared to wider audiences in a more speedy way. Like me, restarting after a breakdown and business collapse. Thanks for all you do.

I’ll be honest, initially a lot of what this guy said gave me pyramid scheme energy but there actually was a lot of substance in there. I’m glad I stuck through it. Cheers!
WOW! wonderful podcast, so much wisdom and love hearing all the stories. We had definitely already made the same mistakes, so it's so reassuring to know that you can still succeed and also what we need to do to improve
Loved this video. This is the second video that I watched about Colin and Samir. 1st one was the the once interviewing the head of Instagram that actually changed my perspective, now watching this, again change my perspective on my UA-cam videos and business, and actually made to go back to their beginning. Amazing to find these hard workers in UA-cam. All the best. Note: obviously getting the book. Very accurate about the third door.
Really appreciate how much the focus of this conversation was on failure and just the anecdote learned from the failure. It feels more realistic to achieve our lofty goals vs. only hearing the anecdote and how it was applied to get "success". Great episode, love that you guys are exploring creators outside of capital Y youtube!
I had an experience where I had the opportunity to be at a charity event with the entire Lakers team. My biz partner and I were the exact description of the delusional creatives that believed putting ourselves next to someone prominent would validate our ideas. So we put all our chips on meeting LeBron, pitching him in person, and somehow becoming consultants for him lol. I was lucky enough to shake his hand, but even with a clear ask and an inside person, our ideas were not validated nor had social proof, and that was the biggest lesson I learned from that experience. So happy to have failed lol. A valuable experience that made me know that next time it’s in my best interest to actually get over my fear of putting myself out there (self worth). And that getting social proof and sharpening my knife when it came to the value I was providing was what needed to happen the next time around. Keep going everybody
I have read hisbook ..his book was one of the reasons why I dared to go for my third door .. and guess what? I am already seeing progress! thank you for this interview
Thank you Alex for being so real, especially when you shared about the mistakes you made early on and how we can use our own as data for how to become better. That really spoke to me and helped me reframe my approach. I love this video so much, thank you Colin and Samir for being fantastic interviewers by bringing out the best in not just your guest but each other as well.
I usually never comment but now feels just about right! Just got out of uni and starting my career and the job hunt as an industrial designer. Everything you guys talked about in this video has been extremely insightful. Never has to hear it more than right now. Thank you guys for your great content and helping young people grab the tools to start their lives. You guys are doing a great job!
Just came to the comment section to say this was one of the best podcast episodes I have ever watched in my life. Thanks to you guys and to my wife who recommended it to me
i saw an interview on this guy a while ago, but it was cool to see more in depth creator economy focused questions, especially the bits of information from your guys own journey.
Set another way the difference between those make mistakes and move on and those who don't is a fixed mindset versus a growth mindset. The book mindset by Carol Dweck is amazing
I’m in tears right now because I watched this video at 3am woke up at 9am sent a message to a nail salon I been dying to work for I took his advice with the approach you should take why did I not only get a respond I got a automatic YES! This SHI WORKS it takes nothing to listen
Third door is an amazing concept. It's the heart of The Call To Adventure that Joseph Campbell memorialized by studying the myths of mankind around the world.
56:55 I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that picture frame in the background. Your words to fill the board are hilarious (and important) 😂👏🏼 #itsallinthedetails
I watched the whole podcast. The best podcast in months because it matched with the situation I am right now. Just one itch - Alex was repetitively using "The greatest lesson, The greatest failure, The greatest thing" that it doesn't greatest. But still the articulation was amazing from explaining "The Third Door" to The Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerburg Stories. Keep going for The Third Door
I’ll watch this over the course of my day. The nightclub analogy is brilliant. 99% are followers. 1% realize they can scrap away and make something happen, of whom many get rejected at the kitchen door but some don’t. After that they go through the VIP door.
Loved this episode! People I’d like to see on this channel: • a traditional celebrity that uses social media well and not just to promote their work in a specific time period (Why did they decide to invest in social media? Was it to stay relevant/to promote their work/to make extra money? Do they feel they get more jobs because of it?) • Sean Evans from Hot Ones • creators from other countries (it could even be one episode with multiple people. It would be nice to know how social media works in different countries: how do creators make money? - Most platforms don’t pay creators in most of the world and when they do pay, they pay significantly less. Same with sponsorships. - How many followers do you need to be considered a big creator? Can you actually make a living out of social media? I feel like it would give great perspective to American creators - I don’t think you guys know how lucky you are) • you guys 😅 (I’d love to see Colin and Samir interviewed by Colin and Samir or Jimmy if he finds the time) • Nara Smith (how much of it is real? Is it all satire? How did the whole thing start - was it intentionally? How does she feel about everything that is said about her online) • Alix Earl (the master of being rich/famous and still relatable/interesting, of showing her private life without showing too much) • Addison Rae (how was it getting so famous so fast and young? Would she do anything differently? She’s doesn’t post nearly as much as before: does she still consider herself a creator? How are her income streams?) • Jenna Marbles & the Dolan Twins (when is it too much? What would they do differently? What are they doing now? Will they ever come back?)
Oh wow, I was just going to sharpen my ax” that is one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard in a while and I think because when you see all these other people that are doing better or in a higher position, you just think like there’s no way I can get to where they are, and then when you sharpen your skills and prepare for yourself for that moment, your ax is so sharpened to where your on the same level or even better
Had no clue who the guest was, but this was the best podcast so far in my opinion.

Thank you so much. I’m sure there are a lot of golden Nuggets throughout this interview that I might be able to find.
I am truly grateful to you for providing the meat that I started the video for.
One of my favorite things that I have learned from my life is : "Don't try harder when you have given it your best, try differently."
Title Idea:
How to NOT Get Blacklisted by Warren Buffett
😂
step 1: don't be a creepy stalker
That was such a brutal story. I don't think I'd ever recover from that 😭
I love how he needed someone to tell him “no more contact with Warren’s office” to get that you don’t bang on a door a hundred times
1:26:51 I needed to hear this.
in 2023 I lost 100k worth of contracts and projects because I tried to do too much at once, and failed on both.
Then I put myself about 20k in debt to accomplish moving to and from the locations I had to be in to attempt my goals.
Then I got depressed and stopped fostering my relationships built over YEARS that helped me get these contracts.
Now I'm starting from nearly square one on both fronts.
And trying every single day to not beat myself up, pull myself out of debt, and continue building.
My biggest single mistake was not trusting my gut.
I let myself be swayed by people pushing me to do every opportunity I had, at once.
The UA-cam channel that makes trailers for UA-camrs to get an opportunity to make a movie for Mr. Beast is like watching a third-door story unfold.
Fyi, their channel is @Sticks
They should do an interview!
Honestly it’s surprising they haven’t done one for Colin and Samir yet, they’d get a second third door to Mr beast
YESS they should 100% do one!
Oh wait the sticks guys did meet Colin and Samir though! They were in Ryan’s joyride announcement video that they directed. It seems like they’re waiting for the right time to have them on, because it would be kind of hard to make one for them after already meeting them once before.

Based on the title I was expecting this video to be about email newsletters like The Publish Press, was pleasantly surprised. Great video!

We’re told on physics there could be a 4th dimension
So maybe there’s a 4th door 😴
My guess is it’s called “the web”

Take action, don't just watch and do nothing.
This guy is just on the next level of thinking now because of all his experience. Also was thinking it'll be about emails and was like "should I watch this" but trusted my gut and just wanna say Thank You guys.
This is an absolute master class for young creators! You guys are awesome. Thank you for providing it to us.

so happy i watched this!!
I know this video isn't getting a ton of views, but this was an incredibly helpful interview for me. Thank y'all!
Just ordered The Third Door! Great insights from everyone and I'm grateful for y'alls channel!
Put this one on the backlog to watch later and wish i watched it sooner. There is so much here that is so meaningful for me. Thank you for this
Fun fact: all these people commenting havent watched the full video yet because it was released 4 minutes ago.
yup, they're bots 😂

Ha yeap
I listen to this interview yesterday on Spotify, but decided to come back and right down my take aways because this vidéo really help me in this stressful times.
My take aways
1.THINGS TAKE TIME!
2. Create a body of work without the fear of failure
3. Know where you're going: have a plan, a story, a mission that people can understand and help you reach
4. Don't be afraid to ask for help, but make it easy for people to help you
5. Be mindful of your failures and when asking for someone time
6. Be Nice and treat every opportunity like if it was THE ONE
Oh and I forgot maybe the most important one:
7. RESEARCH
Wow! I love the variety recently. First Preston, then the author and now we are talking about mastering emails :D
Hands one down of the greatest videos ever posted to this platform, let alone just the creator economy niche
The goat of outreach! Read Alex’s book a few years ago and am now working on a course on how I’ve been able to get the guests on my show!!
What a gem this episode is. Alex is such a great storyteller
This one of your best videos ever. Thank you Samir and Colin :)
One of the best interviews I've watched in awhile, thank you guys as always

I notice many times referencing 'young creators' which can feel frustrating to older creators who now see value in how their vast experiences can be shared to wider audiences in a more speedy way.

Super awesome interview, tons of truth bombs and tons of applicable learnings. Love it ❤
Absolute gold mine of tried and tested wisdom from absolute trailblazers. Can't get any better than this. Thank you Colin and Samir.
This is such a good interview! I can definitely relate! Great job Colin & Samir
WOW! wonderful podcast, so much wisdom and love hearing all the stories.
We had definitely already made the same mistakes, so it's so reassuring to know that you can still succeed and also what we need to do to improve

Holy shit, that’s me. I’m that naive 18 year old kid.
Just don’t be a creep or a stalker, and you’ll be fine ;)
Excellent articulation of ideas you can feel his grasp of rhetoric underneath it all
This was AMAZING! Best video I have seen on this channel. Great work and thank you for all the wonderful advice.
God damn that's a good interview! And just in the right time! Thank you, guys!!!
As someone just getting in to the content/media game this is a wonderful insight episode.
Wish I had heard this years ago.
absolutely insane amount of value in this interview
I have read hisbook ..his book was one of the reasons why I dared to go for my third door .. and guess what? I am already seeing progress! thank you for this interview
Thank you Alex for being so real, especially when you shared about the mistakes you made early on and how we can use our own as data for how to become better.

u guys give out value therefore more people are more likely to continue watching and keen to watch to the end to get the tips/tricks
Colin and Samir ALWAYS bringing value. Thanks guys!
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen
I usually never comment but now feels just about right! Just got out of uni and starting my career and the job hunt as an industrial designer. Everything you guys talked about in this video has been extremely insightful. Never has to hear it more than right now. Thank you guys for your great content and helping young people grab the tools to start their lives. You guys are doing a great job!
I have to say that this probably is my favourite episode from the show, as a long time viewer!
its not about knocking on the same door 100 times it about knocking on 100 doors this interview is a amazing.
Guys, this is a life lesson and fabulous practical advise all in one. Thanks for the chat!
This was one of the best episodes ever!
This is great, thank you! :)
This is phenomenal, I was hooked the entire show. Goosebumps multiple times 🙌🏽
I love this guy - great book indeed. Can't wait ti finish watch this episode
Just came to the comment section to say this was one of the best podcast episodes I have ever watched in my life. Thanks to you guys and to my wife who recommended it to me

one of the best videos i have ever watched on yt. learned so many things...
Third door is an amazing concept. It's the heart of The Call To Adventure that Joseph Campbell memorialized by studying the myths of mankind around the world.
56:55 I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that picture frame in the background. Your words to fill the board are hilarious (and important) 😂👏🏼 #itsallinthedetails
This could have been titled: Chicken noodle soup for the creators soul. Thank you fellas 🔥
nice interview, as a current student I had no clue what a cold email was, next time I dont get into a class I do think ill try it.
Is this a tutorial how to reach out to C&S? Good luck going through your inbox on Monday boys! 💪😅
Love from Denmark! ☺️
I watched the whole podcast. The best podcast in months because it matched with the situation I am right now.
Just one itch - Alex was repetitively using "The greatest lesson, The greatest failure, The greatest thing" that it doesn't greatest. But still the articulation was amazing from explaining "The Third Door" to The Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerburg Stories.
Keep going for The Third Door
1st time here. Enjoyed the failure fun & stories.
Oh my god GOAT is here...
Great guest love how he broke things down an good explanation on 3 ways to get in
thank you for this video! love it!
I’ll watch this over the course of my day. The nightclub analogy is brilliant. 99% are followers. 1% realize they can scrap away and make something happen, of whom many get rejected at the kitchen door but some don’t. After that they go through the VIP door.
Never knew Colin Farrell's son was so determined. Good for him!
Great video! Appreciate the insights
Loved this episode!
People I’d like to see on this channel:
• a traditional celebrity that uses social media well and not just to promote their work in a specific time period (Why did they decide to invest in social media? Was it to stay relevant/to promote their work/to make extra money? Do they feel they get more jobs because of it?)
• Sean Evans from Hot Ones
• creators from other countries (it could even be one episode with multiple people. It would be nice to know how social media works in different countries: how do creators make money? - Most platforms don’t pay creators in most of the world and when they do pay, they pay significantly less. Same with sponsorships. - How many followers do you need to be considered a big creator? Can you actually make a living out of social media? I feel like it would give great perspective to American creators - I don’t think you guys know how lucky you are)
• you guys 😅 (I’d love to see Colin and Samir interviewed by Colin and Samir or Jimmy if he finds the time)
• Nara Smith (how much of it is real? Is it all satire? How did the whole thing start - was it intentionally? How does she feel about everything that is said about her online)
• Alix Earl (the master of being rich/famous and still relatable/interesting, of showing her private life without showing too much)
• Addison Rae (how was it getting so famous so fast and young? Would she do anything differently? She’s doesn’t post nearly as much as before: does she still consider herself a creator? How are her income streams?)
• Jenna Marbles & the Dolan Twins (when is it too much? What would they do differently? What are they doing now? Will they ever come back?)
This was crazy helpful - thanks!
Oh wow, I was just going to sharpen my ax” that is one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard in a while and I think because when you see all these other people that are doing better or in a higher position, you just think like there’s no way I can get to where they are, and then when you sharpen your skills and prepare for yourself for that moment, your ax is so sharpened to where your on the same level or even better
I've learned so much in this interview compared to other ones C&S has done. Will definitely be using the template too haha
Wow thoroughly enjoyed this, and now I’ll be heading for the book if I can get one
Great conversation.
Just such an absolutely fantastic episode. Thankyou for doing what you do.
This interview was very cool and very insightful, Thanks!!!
