Before hitting 100,000 subscribers, Matthew Beem had taken out $60,000 in loans to fund his UA-cam dreams. He customized cars for MrBeast, Logan Paul, Faze Clan, and more. But for Beem, it was never about the money. Two years later Beem's bet seems to have paid off - with 4.75 million subscribers and uploads routinely topping 2 million views.
In today's interview we discuss the risks of Beem’s all-in approach, how he stood out in the challenge genre, and his top retention tips for creators.

These interviews are fantastic and give serious thought to how I conceptualize and produce content - thank you.
Thank you! Credit to Matt for sharing so many great tips and stories 🔥
Couldn't agree more. The part about Mr Beast watching from the sideline made a big impact and is a bombshell of a point.
It’s possible but it takes a lot of time and effort to get where they are now if I have any advice I say just take your time and don’t rush it I tried making more UA-cam videos but I quit doing it only bc I graduated high school and been trying to find a job but I’ve been thinking about coming back to UA-cam but just hadn’t been able too
Matthew did no gatekeeping at all, very high value interview!
Yeah he shared soo many gems 🙏
This is a great breakdown of what goes into his behind the scenes work & thought process.. Definitely taking notes for my own improvement
Your content is incredibly useful and accurate. I loved every single of his tips. Thank you!!
Your UA-cam channel is absolutely amazing.The content you create is both entertaining and informative,Keep up the fantastic work, you're doing a fantastic job.Your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring. Keep shining and reaching new heights 🙏🏻
That means a lot!! Thank you so much for the kind words :)
there was a lot of insight I didn't expect in this, thank you 👏
Easily one of my favorite interviews so far. Surprisingly! I didn't expect to take the number one spot.
damn that means a lot! Thank you man 🙏
your all videos are super informative this is the second video i watched in a row.
Thank you! Means a lot with all the time we put in 🙏
I really enjoyed the Matthew Beem interview. He was extremely insightful to identify his car repair skills as a potential game changer to find his place. He has a great perspective and mindset. Very inspirational that will benefit any creator no matter their background.
Thanks so much, means a lot!
Crazy, i remember when he was trying to become part of faze, he seemed SUPER ambitious. I dont even remember how many followers he had, but it wasnt much. I knew he would make it all along.
Thank Matthew, John and behind the scenes related guys :)
🙏🙏
Broooo shoutout to the thumbnail creator, I loooove this one!
I remember seeing this guy at 13,000 subscribers.. this guy has balls of steel
It’s possible guys! Stay consistent and keep pushing
Fingers crossed!
Ah man great vid Jon and you touched on a lot of great questions that we all have as upcoming creators! I wanted to watch another 30 mins of this!
mom wake up, another Jon upload..🍿
Haha appreciate you 🙏
Let's goo Matthew 🔥🔥
Ps: My bro Jon deserves a streamy for being the best creator interviewer & host ever!
Too kind thanks Suraj! 🙏
inspiring interview! as a new creator, I took multiple things to use. thx a lot for this video
Such a great interview with so many great stories! Mathew is an amazing story teller! Giving Mr. Beast a car!! Loved how cool he was about receiving it! And how the thumbnail changed his views! The Logan car!!! So much great info and how we wait to finish college, so we need to know that most online success takes time! That’s such a hard lesson to learn! I’m almost 400 videos in and still trying! Ha! Thank you for helping us improve our strategies!😊🌺🌷
Lovely channel that you have. I like the idea. I'd love to know how to make great cocktail like you shot on your video. Maybe a bit more on that e.g the Lemonade lavender video, but on an ASMR genre with faster pace, very close shots mix with your expression at the end with a close framed shot of the glass held near your face-on a short/TikTok it'd help to make a seamless loop video - on short type format and TikTok would help. And all thta w/ a bath of ligh (alot) cuz it's food related. Keep it up. I subscribed; I hope you reach your goal. Keep it up!
@@lordminerva418 Thank you so much for this very helpful information! Very much appreciated! 😊🌷🌺
Great video 👍
Thanks!
This man is my insperation. When he said "I took out 60k to become a Mr. Beast clone" my jaw dropped. Possibly the smartest man I've ever seen. That's why he so well known now.
Solid interview, thanks Jon and Matthew! Tuning in and taking notes! :)
Thanks guys! Really appreciate you sponsoring and supporting the channel 🙏
every tip this guy says is the exact same as mrbeast word for word. scary.
150 intro takes! Ahh, I gotta step up from 2 big time 😂
Alot of times its not wat you know its who you know
My bro is moving up in the world! KEEP GOING @MatthewBeem!
15:48 really good
You earned a subscriber
good story
Interviews like this make it seem impossible for small creators to grow on this platform
Every big creator was small, if you dont put in the work why do you expect the big results? LOL
@@JTPlayingTunes Who said anything about not putting in the work?? This dude is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on videos and has teams of people working for him. Small creators don't have that. Small creators are competing against large corporations on UA-cam channels nowadays, with literally millions of dollars. Did you watch this video?? Do you know anything about UA-cam or the corporations that run a lot of the big channels?
Maybe within the 'challenge' niche, but UA-cam is still accesible for basically everyone.
@@mok-mc Of course it is. I never said it wasn't.
That's why Mr Beasts rise is so good. His first purchase was a mic etc

Recap by Tammy AI
This interview made me like Matthew Beem a lot more as a person. Seeing his struggles of becoming a creator and his willingness to risk everything really shows his work ethic
Yeah I was so impressed with his dedication
great vid
Thanks so much!
LETS GOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Jon your content is incredible, keep it coming ;)
Thanks Drew!! Appreciate all your help on this one my man 🙏
I'm going to call my own prejudgment. I always thought this guy was just a Mr beast want to be. Never even watched the channel. Didn't even know he is into cars. Definitely going to watch now. He is so badass. Freaking awesome. Very inspiring. Seems like such a down-to-earth and cool dude.
💯 he seriously is
Incredible! Such a humble and nice personality!
Matt's great!! Thanks so much for watching :)
Time stamps ?
this made me love beem even more
Really beautiful interview, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
lol @14:17 "What are the most common dips in retention?" RUNS AD 🤣
Haha had to put it at a cliff hanger
Interesting
Payback! Good to see you here :)
Thanks so much :)
26:38 relatble
Great interview tho!
I do like your videos but in this particular one it felt like you kept rushing him to get the next sound byte you wanted, frequently cutting him off and not letting him talk. I'm not saying thats actually how it went down just that in this particular video, the edit presented had a rushed or impatient feeling to it.
Finallllllyy
20:00 let me tell you one thing that would blast the retention to 10000% if you started your video with *We are currently 15000 feet in the air and going to jump from this plane with no paratutes*
Wow
When he was breaking down what not to do makes me realize how entitled and judgemental ppl are its insane
i'd like to see you w/ colin & samir
My #1 question is HOW TF HE GET ALL THESE LOANS 😡 my credit is good but they won’t even give my Blk self 5k like geesh 🤣
How did he get the loans with no credit ??? His parents had to co sign . Only way I see that happening.
Matthew crazy, spending $50,000 on a video
onma island is buried a treasure chest
🎉🎉 6th what are we celebrating
I remember Matthew had DMed me the Mr Beast thumbnail when he was a tiny creator and I thought he was crazy. Watched him grow from nothing, pretty nuts story.
Wow yeah it's an insane story
Yassssss!!!!!
👏👏👏👆👆
Tbh his interview makes me confused.
I had much respect for Matthew and even felt some of the criticism to him is too harsh. For example, there was nothing wrong with retention editing and he was just not that good at editing at some point.
This interview however, leaves an impression that Matthew was broke before becoming a UA-camr whereas I remember he had a luxury shoe collection as a teenager. Again there's nothing wrong with being a rich kid, it's just the contradiction of how his image is processed by an audience like me.
Do small creators need to give away a whole car to succeed? Also, how privileged is it to take a $60000 loan for a hobby? No blame to the host or the guest, just some honest feedback for the video.
Beemteam❤️❤️
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I respect the art. At the same time makes me sad people are reduced to rats hitting dopamine and the views is the main goal in of itself. These type of videos have 0 value 💁🏻♂️
Second
👏👏
Third 😂
haha appreciate you being so early
Fourth
Haha I wonder how long we can keep this going
UA-cam is so lazy...listen to the guy saying how to do videos, its everything opposite how everyone in media has said for years....dont show let them use imagination...people are so lazy nowadays, even with watching tv it seems.
If Alfred Hitchcock were alive he would be horrified..😂😂😂
Fifth
Hahah well that was fast
First
I see you Myles 👏
Oh yeah, I've come across his channel, I think he has created the biggest and soulless UA-cam channel. So "optimized" and inhumane, could be made by an AI. Nice interview, Jon.
youtube pay to win confirmed 😂😂
i really didnt like this guy until this podcast, too bad he is so artificial in his videos, he should be more like this
He didn't really throw out 10k 😂
