These are two of my closest friends and all we do is banter in the office back and forth with each other. I can understand how I could come off as an asshole but I hope by now you guys understand that this how all my friends and I talk to one another.
Nadeshot All good man
Nadeshot yea some people don’t realize it’s your joking with em
Lol I hope Mr Westbrook doesn't watch this.
Gilbert Rodriguez dude theres something wrong with you lol i hope youre only like 12 years old
Gilbert Rodriguez bruh you got a problem
Nade flexin his own company in the title and you love to see it
Dude did all those crazy jobs and ended up working for the guy that brought out the HBR
We still not letting it go😭

5 Years Later..... MEET THE BILLIONAIRE NADESHOT - Selfmade with Himself
@Larry Nade said in one of his streams that hes still majority owner thats why he keeps everything under control.. unlike what happened to optic..
Larry he owns most of it he’s not like faze and optic who sold most of their equity
@Larry What do you think happens when the company scales to 10 times it's size in the next 10 years?
Larry you can figure this out yourself if you breakdown the percentages of equity each investment group got. Scooter and Drake paid 25$ mill and this gave 100 thieves a reported value of 90 mill. This most recent round of funding was for 35 mill and nadeshots video title said the company is worth 160 mill. So, these two investments were for 27 % and about 22 %. This means that the remaining equity is about 51. Even if there was another round of funding that we don’t know about (in terms of the numbers) Nadeshot still clearly retains a plurality of the equity
Nade is NOT worth 80 million dollars absolutely NO. A companies net worth includes properties computers desks chair ect ect ect now Nade owns the company not necessarily the assets. Which I am damn sure he doesn’t. When money comes in the investors get paid first. So to those that think Nade is worth 80 mil you are very very very wrong
From McDonalds to founder of 100 thieves!!! Run it up!
Fr tho
From eating chicken nuggets to eating gold covered chicken nuggets
Been following Nade since 2012 when he lived in his apartment with his ex-girlfriend. Absolutely crazy to see where this guy has gone; from rags to riches.
The MMA Dispute eh, rich to ultra rich maybe
M P Nadeshot wasn’t rich in 2012
shweezy I think rich is relative. To me, with esport tournament winnings and youtube income combined, yes- nade was rich in 2012 lol. “Well off” maybe is a better term. Not saying he didn’t work hard, all props to him for not being comfortable with his youtube hustle and making something bigger!
M P he said before that when he was living with his ex, he didn’t pay rent and only paid for internet and groceries because he was that broke
shweezy ohhhh for real? So he wasn’t getting that red bull money in 2012? I felt like he was. Not arguing with you though, I wasn’t there. My outsider perspective was that he has been getting coin for awhile and this 100T blew up huge for him. Easy to front like you got it though and maybe that’s what he was doing back then. Regardless, Matt has been hustling for awhile and I’m glad to see he is successful!
John is such a well spoken guy, also seems super kind and transparent. Loved this podcast.
Makes me so Happy that Nadeshot has really made it out here. (Been around since before 6050 days) SELFMADE!
Where is the usual "biggest amount in a single check" question ???
S/O to the bald guy that is always behind the scenes. He's awesome.
LegitVisionHD one day you’ll understand
Nadeshot lives the dream of every single milennial in America. Been following you since I was in high school and you continue to blow my mind with the development of 100 Thieves. So glad you have surrounded yourself with friends and colleagues that allow you to excel!
This self made series is phenomenal. Encourages me to dive into the esports world more, rather than just being a consumer of video games.
Surround yourself with people that will help you climb to the top of the world. Well done Nade and I look up to all 3 of you!
15:40 till 16:16 it is THE highlight for me of this episode. Wow ... MAJOR 🔑
Definitely one of the best portions of the podcast.
give value upfront
I need to bookmark this part!
I really want them to make a tv show based on 100 thieves starting with Matt John and Jackson and how they met, to the ups and downs to current
This podcast has brought forth so many amazing people! I think I sometimes forget how much of a benefit it is to listen to this valuable information. Run it up!
I’m a sophomore that’s an accounting major whose been watching Nade since BO2. The insight that Robinson reveals about the business world is truly enlightening and inspiring to individuals who aspire to have successful futures. The tips in the interview are truly priceless, thank you Nade and Robinson for this opportunity to learn.
I’d love to see more of JR. Being a COO myself and hearing things from his end are always motivating and gets me pumped for the growth of 100T. Please show more like the past few videos
Without sounding patronising, I am so proud of you dude. I started watching in BO3, duos with boze and I’ve been a huge fan since. I’m 33 and you really gave some profound advice on one of your vids a couple of years ago (you will know which I mean) which will stay with me forever. So so happy for you, I wish you nothing but more and more success, love from sunny England. 👍🏻
Thank you thank you
John has to have been the most interesting guest so far. This is the side of e-sport you almost never get to see so huge props to John for being willing to step out of the shadows and make himself a public figure. Amazing insight and really cool to hear from to show 100 thieves in a completely different manner.
This was dope af, I need a part 2 !
So cool to know that John was part of Tierney Era Princeton lacrosse. People who are a part of the collegiate lacrosse community know how impressive that is, plus John's professionalism is such an awesome mix with the off-the-walls banter you get from Matt and Jackson
Nadeshot: yea this podcast has been great lots of info that can help young kids.
Jackson: *looking at nadeshot* seriously.
Crazy how i have been watching Nadeshot for over 7 years now and its just insane the growth and the company he has started truly grew up watching this man all the way from 6th grade till now
Can we get a day in the life of John Robinson ? this guy inspired me so much this vlog not gonna lie. Would be nice to see what he does on a daily basis managing 100 Thieves.
Out of all the content you produce, the Selfmade Podcasts are my absolute favorite, I learn so much, and am more and more inspired after every episode/podcast. Can't wait to see more, and all of your guests, this one was best so far!
Yo a cool drawing for nade would be Gon in his small kid form wearing a Optic shirt and his transformation from when he fight Pitou with a 100T shirt 😀😀
Insane to come back to this video in 2021. 100T is killing it
John’s a legend in my book, I want more of the genius! Run it up!
Had no clue John was from Cincinnati. That’s awesome! Way to put us on the Map John. Keep doing big things
agreed
Damn dude, John Robinson is a man who gets shit done. Respect. ✊🏼
Long form ones are great guys. Would love to see you guys make longer ones where you go deeper into what got them to where they are today, the mind set and even what they have for breakfast, daily routines. Love the work guys.
When you watch 100T and Nadeshot videos, you see Matt as playful and just out there. But when John said how he reports to Matt, you see how Nade takes care of his people/friends and how he really wants the company big. Congrats Matt! @Nadeshot
Seeing John as COO of 100 Thieves makes me think this company is going to go places! Congrats!
100 Thieves sounds like a good anime to me Matt
Hey I thought of a good name for the new 100T facility:
Molon Labe ____(and then some type of name like facility or den or guild)
Molon Labe was what King Leonidas said when the Spartans were told to surrender, it means “Come and get it” and I think its a good name because 100Thieves represents taking what isn’t yours because life won’t give things to you easily. Hope you read this Nade because I put some work into it haha
This is awesome to see how many jobs John has worked and as a recent grad it shows me how a career path is not always in a straight line.
Congratulations on the funding and growth of your business. I can only hope for all reading this to have such success in their own lives. Well done and don't sell out!
Nadeshot with the low key flex in the title
So many great tips for getting ahead in business or getting your foot in the door of a company you want to work for. Nade and Jon - truly inspiring and highly motivational.
Great listen, loved the insight into Johns career. Cant wait to see what the future brings to 100T. #RUNITUP
I would say I had an entrepreneurial mindset before I left home 3 years ago. Somewhere along the line, I became complacent and lost it all but listening to this podcast, I feel inspired again. I feel the motivation returning so thanks team.
Nadeshot you didn't ask the question of the podcast... whats the biggest check he has ever gotten.
even if they don't answer is always fun to see their reaction.
I love how even their business execs and employees have the best personality’s 100Thieves best org #RUNITUPPPPPP
The past couple of months I've been really doubtful about how to get an internship at an investment bank or other company in the US. Right now I feel like I know exactly what to do! Thanks a lot John!
This is probably the best/most informative podcast I’ve ever heard. Keep up the great content!
Those drink mats need to say 100 thieves on!! Would be a cool touch
Never watched a whole podcast until this one love what you guys are doing. Also go into siege at some point :)
As someone who is going to spend a year in China as part of their degree, it was very interesting to hear about John's experience over in China. Great content!
Call the new training facility “Den of Thieves” or “100Thieves Den”
That’s actually very smart I love your approach to Job searching.. I’d love to know more about how recruitment works when you have a good business idea and you have no money
The transformation is unreal. Thank you for the free insight!
This entire interview was amazing. 15:45 was very helpful, thank you! I totally believe in following your instincts and inspiration over everything else. Love 100T and their community and I want some of that :D
Nade congrats on all you recent success. But please for the love of God, stay humble. There's no need to flex your the boss of everyone. I think the genuine personality and character you have is enough for people to know how great of a person you are. Just remember, we are your fans for you and who you are. Not your title or how much power or money you have. Just some friendly advice, because I really do wish the best for you! But seriously, you have good people surrounding you, don't go chasing them away out of a power trip. Much respect!
Very interesting. You've got some great guys around you.
Nade: "people must have loved you up until that point"
John: "YES"
You get a professional sports player on here. Maybe Mike Trout?
Loved this episode. Lots of useful information and got to learn more about Rob. 💯💯
Great podcast! Love to see how 100T is growing and how you guys are just very driven and positive thinkers; its very inspiring! Keep up the good work, me and mate were talking for hours in the pub about esports, its future and how we could maybe get to be a part of the EU esports world after we finished uni. (He is training as a social worker and i am a mathematician and photographer)
Rolex and Chanel books in the back. Bruh, these boys be flexin' 😂😂
Make a rainbow six seige pro team. There is a team called LFO and it stands for looking for org. And just buy them and they are one of the best teams in pro league
I don't know how they would feel about doing an EU team though and who knows if they think its profitable to do an r6 team even though its growing
R6s is dying
@@BanditLeader complete lie but okay lmao
Nadeshot is doing everything right with this company
This man made myCareer before myCareer
my main question from having your main 100 thieves office with the apparel store have you considered worldwide pop up shops for those fans who aren't able to make the trip across ocean trips where you potentially do like a 2 day pop up shop in England or Germany, Australia. just saying for us fans who live across the pond would be a cool opportunity to maybe meet you and the team and get some awesome one time style drops for those places. plus had a cool idea for a long sleeve where its basically a worldwide shirt saying different places that hundred thieves are from or been too and places that yous are going to dominate in future leagues
My Boss @Nadeshot your 100T is one of the fastest and youngest growing company. Congratulations!
I think you should have teams for mobile games too.
Dominate the world of esports sir! God speed
You guys should definitely pick up the old OpTic gears team
I think you should offer tours and host events at the hq as a way to really build it as a community for fans, as a fan just the idea of this is something never done before and it seems so cool just as even a possibility for an organization with as much potential growth as 100T
One of the greatest videos I've ever seen. As an enthusiast gamer and really interested in business.. this is GOLD!!!! Anyone with me?
would love to see Syndicate on this with his businesses
Heyy good job on the podcast. We love you John Robinson, keep up the good work. Run it up!
Matthew, this is awesome to see you being so successful. Congrats man
Damn made your an inspiration to so many people. Your killing this podcast and the tone activity you showed within the podcast made a big difference. Personally I think you could be a tv host already
Nade this podcast is amazing. I’ve learned so much from it already, keep it up!
That business tip was insane
the berrics ah thats where i recognized him.
great podcast very interesting,
thank you for enlightening my day.
So what is Nadeshots Role CEO
owner
Owner/founder and ceo
He’s just a fan
Super interesting story, very impressive. All the best 100 Thieves
My respect for John just Sky Rocket 💯 What a BEAST 🥂
John Robinson: shoutout OAKBOYZ, shoutout Enable.
Can't wait to see whats next.
All three of you are huge inspirations to me.
15:41 So all I need to do is have a vision for where I want a company to go and a perfect background, easy!
John has his MBA from Wharton and his undergraduate degree from Princeton. It's safe to say he's one smart cookie. (to put this in perspective for you Trump and most of the worlds BILLIONAIRES have their degrees from Wharton)
A little bit of digging will tell you trump was a trust fund baby who wasn’t there based on his merit, but rather his family name. Worst example you could use.
@@Pharoah2 fine.. how about Elon Musk, John Scully, Sundar Pichai, Steven. A. Cohen to name a few?
Damage LOL thats definitely a better list
The shop feels like the path Gymshark have gone down which having been to an event is awesome!!
I think it would be pretty cool if you contacted a few golfers on tour and see if you could get the 100t logo on a few shirts they wear when they golf just to make a bigger platform of who watches 100 thieves and branch out to not just esports but some individual sports
Shoutout from Edmonton, Alberta Canada! That’s where I’m at
Really enjoyed this podcast. I think 100T has a bright future ahead of them! I am curious to see what games they jump into next besides CS:GO.... We shall see in the future
I never knew his twitter was actually Rohn Jobinson. That's awesome :P
It's amazing that what your doing man, the vlogs are entertaining keep it up, can't wait to see what the future holds, hopefully one day I'll be in the fold
Perfect example of how college is not necessary.
The two guys that graduated college are working for the guy that only graduated high school and played video games.
Think about that
Im in college bro... FML if this is true :((((( I gotta find another grind on the side fr smh
PuRe GhOsTT you do realize 100 thieves wouldn’t even be a thing if it wasn’t for these two. When nade originally started 100T on his own he failed miserably but he learned and got two really smart guys to help him build his vision
Honestly Jackson & John need their own channels.
It gives me hope that John is from cincy. I am starting college this year and hope to work for a company like 100T or start my own business.
19:50 he worked for ea its in his blood
Sheeshh John Robinson is the fucken MAN
Would be cool if you got both of them to interview you! I'm sure there's lots of people out there that don't know your whole story.
I want John to be my dad and best friend, the man is a genius
Got too say what an inspiration this podcast was too watch 👍🏻
Nade, you 100% need to have one episode featuring just you where Jackson hosts. Those that have followed you know a fair bit of your story, but your journey to where you are today is something else.
