Am I the only one who's finding the content of this channel very informative and educational ? It's inspirational as well. Thanks Matthias for taking out your time and doing these videos for us. The CEO that matters....
Your right, all the stuff he is talking about is super useful, and I'm learning alot about how to make my channel better by one of my favorite UA-camrs in the business!
I take notes from his videos on here on Google Keep! i love these videos because its great for someone like me, while i may not be old enough to work in a business, it is still great for me because i want to work in a business, it seems like an interesting think to me, and because i want to work at Hi5 or somewhere similar to Hi5 and i can learn a lot from his site, and from The Exec
That’s what I love about them Matt and the team aren’t uptight like you would think! I love them and it’s inspirational like you said he’s so cool about it and not so I tip my nose to you type I love Matt and all of Hi5
Personally I find this channel very refreshing and exciting to watch. I have a hunger for knowledge in every aspect of my life, so this channel really feeds that hunger. I completely agree with the statement he made about creativity growing with restrictions! As an aspiring writer and over all creator, i struggle when I’m given to much space to play in, but give me restrictions and I’ll create something fantastic. In addition, I find these videos extremely dense in knowledge and that’s what keeps me watching. Matt has the ability to really break down and simplify something that others would have trouble understanding. While this channel might not be as popular as his other channels, for me, I would have to say that this channel will definitely be apart of my list of favorite UA-cam channels. I love information and the people that can make it simple to understand are truly amazing, hard workers. Keep up the amazing work and God bless.
Actually I'm 15, and I find this channel fascinating. I've never really thought of the business side of Hi5 Studios. Obviously, I knew it was a business, but this just puts a whole new perspective about Hi5 Studios and it's employees that I personally find very refreshing. Keep up the good work, Matt.
Wow I really can't wait to start my own channel [4 change] with all the love I see on this comment. Lol I need the Exec just to mentor me to ignore it I swear.
I found the essay very informative, and helpful. I'm planning on creating my own channel soon, and this gave me good insights. I really am liking this channel, and your knowledge on topics. Keep up the great work.
I know these videos aren't going to get insane amount of views (yet), but personally, this video alone is already helping me with my business and growing UA-cam channel. I'm in the middle of rebranding and re-strategizing my content, and this video is pure gold for where I'm at. Thanks for taking the time to share, Matt! You're off to an amazing start with being so transparent and sharing actionable education on this channel.
Honestly Matt, you motivate me to be productive, I could listen to you talk about your company and vision for hours. You are so passionate. I’m so glad I’m part of this community.
I prefer this vlogging style. It’s more down to earth, more personal. It’s not putting on a show for entertainment. It’s there for the purpose of documenting how you run a company with a mission statement and a purpose.
Matt! I Love these business videos we have been getting from you! You are such a huge inspiration to so many people, and someone I truly look forward to learning from. Excited for all of the changes to come!
I admire u a lot Matthias... u always make great content.... these videos are helping me understand all the technical and professional concepts which is nice break from all the creative and funny content.... Love ur videos
Your quote about the box hit me really hard. I appreciate everything you do. That quote though I think might be a lot of the reason why my content channel has been struggling and why I have been struggling as a creator.
Hi Matt, I am a big fan of your 'Key series'... I am a writer from Mumbai, India. Just want to say, love the way you have arched the narrative of that story (if real) and LOVE it more if it is scripted. ❤️ Lots to learn from you. Would love to contribute in any way as a writer. Respect.
Please keep it coming! We love hearing from you more again and in such a personal and passionate way. Even if I am not a natural leader (I call myself an adviser because I am off the charts introverted) there is so much I can learn from growing a business at your level. I am fascinated with personality and psychology and I can't remember exactly but I think you mentioned before that you're introverted as well? I'd be curious to know how you balance your energy levels and still feel accomplished at the end of the day.
I really like this channel. it's really helpful for aspiring creators and more entertaining for your older audience. I have a feeling all of the fans of your older videos will come back thanks to this.
I'm actually loving this channel at the moment Matt, honestly. There's nothing better than watching and listening to someone speak about their passion, it's very inspirational too!!!
Matt, seeing you grow from having fun in your backyard with team edge to running multiple channels and managing an amazing team has been a journey, let me tell you. I can remember seeing you get so much happier when starting Hi5 studios and it’s been so cool to see you grow. I personally don’t put the information you give in these videos to use directly, but I still love listening to you speak about these things and learning from what you learnt. I admire your lifestyle and how hard you worked for this. Keep it going man and may this adventure take you to achieve even greater things! (Sorry if this comment is kind of messy, english is not my first language but I hope it’s okay.. :) )
When my friends watch my videos they say that it is funny and you should carry on. However I’m a man of feedback, I love feedback. And when people give me feedback I know what to improve and make. But there is a problem people don’t comment as much as I would like and that’s the one thing I want to change. So my statement is “do thing that you like and do it with your fans suggestions”. Sorry for it being a long comment.
I have a suggestion about us making suggestions. Maybe you could make a place, either on your site/blog or somewhere else, where we can directly input our feedback and suggestions towards not only this channel, but all of the others. I just think it'll help keep that stuff organized and even though you'll still have comments down here, it'll give you a place where you can directly see feedback. I'm not sure what you'd use but maybe you could change the "Contact" part of your site to "Feedback" where people can fill out a form with a free response section.
Been a follower of yourself for years now, our first child are the same age and I run a team of 15 staff, I enjoy this channel, it has been something, you could say I 'wanted without knowing', seeing you adjust to your own role and not always needing to be right, comforts myself I'm my managing role. Thank you.
This channel is something I wished for since I started watching Dope or Nope and your guys' vlogs! I love your leadership style and I am looking forward to each of these videos! As a mid 20s growing a career this channel is everything I need ❤
I've already had my channel for over a year and I've felt lost quite often, unsure of if I even wanted to keep with it during the rougher times. Now I understand why. I'm hoping to utilize all this information effectively and continue on with it, with renewed life! The way you explain everything to us is incredibly helpful. Thank you very much for these videos and assets!
I really enjoy listening to you talk about the inner workings, and the work that goes into building and crafting a company that gives people good, fun content. You rarely get this side of UA-cam from a lot of UA-camrs.
@matthias This is exactly what I need as I am preparing to start a FB channel. I'm going to write out a Mission Statement before I start. Thank you for keeping it real. I believe this channel is very interesting. I enjoy it. You are so intelligent. God bless you, your family and hi5 employees. Oh! And congratulations on the new little one. ☺️
Man I love the fact that you're doing this stuff again you're just really good at it and I enjoy it a lot it takes me out of my day-to-day Life as a truck driver and puts me into your life for the most part and the others around you. thank you! :)
Started watching this with high anticipation on the sole fact that i love Matthias and his work and when i actually started to watch each vid.. I have a new found appreciation for him and everything he does.. His lats video really spoke to me and my soul .. Watching this vid makes me want to start my own channel .. Matthias u r a true inspiration and i appreciate all of this i want to do u proud and take all of ur teachings and make the best channel i can
I honestly love this video. He listened to our feedback, he listened to what we had to say about the other channels and he is actively fixing it. The thing is, he isn't just fixing it... he is elevating his team and the studio, he is constantly educating himself in the best way possible. Seriously, the BEST Exec out there right now. He genuinely cares so that everyone can succeed; he is also providing opportunities for his team to improve within the company. I actually am very looking forward to this channel to be informed in the best way possible. I have always looked up to you, Matt and as much as I love your old content, you have matured and developed this awesome company that has helped a lot of people and also impacted a lot of peoples lives. Sorry, I am going on this little rant (if you can call it that) but I am seriously in awe of the growth Matthias has shown throughout his career on UA-cam. Whether it is his growing family, his growing company, etc., I am impressed and inspired! This channel wouldn't just help somebody starting a UA-cam channel, it also helps somebody starting their own company, non-profit, etc. Keep it up, Matt! You are inspiring!!!
I truly believe that this channel is going to help a lot of people not just people wanting to do UA-cam but everyone in general. by helping us figure out not only our mission statement in business and what we want to do for a living but our mission statement and goals we want for our entire life. Something I really liked about the matt and Amanda channel was that it could be very educational at times I actually wrote a comment on the last video over there about this. But something I didn’t say was some people like me can find it hard learning from people they don’t know or don’t care about and loose interest real fast but with this channel I find it more easy because you’re the type of person we can all look up to and someone we like to listen to
Honestly Matt I think this is gonna be amazing in the journey with the team of Hi5 Studios! This is the first intellectual and informative video I found myself really interested and being a part of I have followed your channel Dope or Nope for a little over a year now and really enjoy watching you all! You have really made it to where I feel like I’m apart of your creations and I just started getting into the other channels of Hi5 in the last 6 months and in my opinion this was really awesome! I am very happy that you are trying to make your team stronger and be more interactive with the audiences. Thank you for this and I can’t wait to see where you and all of Hi5 go from here. You will have a follower all the way through and through!
Love this channel! Been recently pondering starting a channel or blog; so this whole channel is super insightful and thought provoking to me. You are such a great teacher Matt. Learned more here than some of my college class.
Thanks so much for unpacking these principles, Matt! So many great UA-cam channels will launch and grow thanks to these concepts. Thank you for transparently sharing your experience and growth. Much appreciated, brother!
Thanks for vlogging again Matt! It's great to see you outside of Dope or Nope again. It's been awhile. Thank you for being a great role model to me for 3 years now!
I just wanted to tell you that I am only a 14 year old girl but I find so much joy out of these new videos. I love learning all of the behind the scenes of your studio. Being a producer is now my dream job because of you. I know it isn’t the same as yours but becoming a CEO of a UA-cam company isn’t something I feel I can do in my city. I just wanted to thank you for putting out these educational videos because I learn a lot
I printed that article because I create content that I enjoy making and your guide (article) can help me when it comes to creating better content for my audience. Even though I have been making videos for over a year now, there is so much more I would like to do and know when it comes to providing content that is right for my audience. The type of videos that I am doing right now is something I believe it's great, but I know not everyone is interested in one thing. So This week I just filmed my first video for my second channel because I believe that change is important for me when it comes to making great content and my audience can see a different side of me. Thanks Matthias for vlogging again. I think that by watching your videos here can help me learn more about truly creating something wonderful that has a purpose and a mission. I enjoy watching you and everyone at Hi5 grow and become something awesome. Keep up that dope work Matthias! :)
Hey Matt, So my friend and I recently started our UA-cam channel that we’d been planning for a while. Our first video went up a month ago, and the response wasn’t what we were expecting. The comments section was hate comments and it was pretty rough. My friend and I were aware that our first video wasn’t that good. It was mainly a test run to figure out how to work all the widgets and such. Thanks to you though I never once considered quoting or taking it down. You were my inspiration for starting our channel and I’m really excited at to what it will become. So thank you for your inspiration, and hopefully one day we’ll be as great as Hi-5. My friend and I will definitely now sit down and come up with a mission statement for our channel. So thanks Matt your the best.
I did a mission statement. I’m so glad to hear I wasn’t being too anal retentive about doing it. I come from a corporate administrative assistant background. I wrote goals with threshold, target and stretch goals and did a mission statement. My mission statement was to use UA-cam to hold myself accountable for my weight loss goals while giving people like me a real life look at the struggles and celebrations of losing 300 lbs by being open, honest and transparent, I feel like having my mission statement has completely given me a q&a while I watch my videos to make sure those videos meet those levels. But I’m definitely going to redo it with your formula.
I’ve been going over and over in my head how to structure my own vlog channel to the point that I haven’t uploaded anything to it. This helps tremendously. I’m eager to learn more, Thanks for taking the time to do this!
I totally understand and appreciate this channel. I work with companies that are in the lime light all the time and my job is to help transition people from being the ones looking at the bright lights to catching them up with everything behind them. I just wanted to say from a very loving place in my heart that your coming off very timid, definitely babying the audience. Only people that want to see this content will watch it and get it. As far as direction. Motivation and reality. We honestly need more of that. Too many people are trying to hoard knowledge. Or worse give vague images of knowledge only to try to sell pieces of it at a time.
Thanks for the feedback. Possibly babying. Unintentionally honestly. I’m used to a younger audience, that being said I want to make sure I can inspire newcomers too so it might still work for everyone
We homeschool our boys, and they are currently in an Entrepreneurship class. I want to thank you for creating this channel, it is making content they are learning in the classroom more relevant to the world they are living in.
I’m creating my own company and this is very helpful specially because Matt is accompanying me along side with me. Thanks for coming at such important time to share this as a CEO
Watching all the videos on this channel while I am working at home. I have a unique job. Thank you for all the great information. I just found this channel today and absolutely love it. Please post more. Much appreciation.
You're awesome and very inspiring Matt: first you were in Team Edge winning the Edge games 😂. And now you are helping out/ teaching others and showing new people new opportunities and things. I honestly think you are amazing and I am so happy you have come up with this channel. I hope you see this comment because whenever I comment on any video from people from Hi5 studios it doesn't get seen so can we break that curse? XD I hope this isn't too cheesy! 🤣😂
I don’t know if you will see this since it’s been a year since you posted this, but I will try anyways. If you have have a channel and its content applies to a very specific audience how do you create content that will invite other audiences to join your channel and watch? Also I hope you show more of the Journey Board!
The Exec would be much more fitting as a name for this channel. Now, here's something I wanted to ask of you, could you maybe try and give advice to trying to find the "who" of a person?
+1 to "The Exec" I have to say, you're a really good educator with all that passion behind it. Even though I don't plan on making it on You Tube, a lot of what you mentioned relates to the business I plan on making in the near future. Also, the thing about mission statements and how it keeps you focused is key and I like that you acknowledged it. Too many times have I seen either on You Tube or companies in general forget about their audience when money begins to print. I always say if you have a good product and you're passion about it, money will follow regardless. People will support the things they love. Anyway, keep up the good work! It's been a pleasure watching you create and grow for the last 3 or 4 years.
I love this channel! Whenever I see your team upload vlogs/content and see the creative environment they work in it sparks something inside me. I've been in that creative environment and I miss it. This channel brings in reality and great insight that people don't think about. There's real work that goes into creativity. I want to be back in an environment like this.
I honestly love this channel so much. It honestly has reignited my business fire because I was experiencing such burn out and I think I needed this. I really do enjoy this. It's smart, it's funny, and it's human.
I absolutely love where you are planning to go with this channel. Las year, when you were making videos and having those little snippets of business talk at the start of each video, I was just as excited to get those tidbits of knowledge and experience from you as to see the content that the vlog was supposed to be about. While I'm not a UA-cam creator, I have a definite interest in business and a need to learn more about leadership. I can't wait to see more, thank you!
Hi! Im a supervisor for a retail chain. I just wanted to tell you, that after watching your video on OKRs I actually mentioned it to my boss and he's gonna look into making them a thing for us next quarter so thank you for helping us come up with a new way of looking at business and focus!
I feels like this allows us to see deeper into the other channels and allows us as the audience to connect on a different level with each other channel even though these videos are specifically about the other channels. I love this channel so far and am not going into video making but it applies a lot to other areas of life. You can use that mission statement template with anything, and I love that about this channel it gets you thinking about your own life not just hi5 studios. So thank you for this video and the previous few. Keep up the great work. On a separate note, kind of, I think what I love so much about this is that it is current, so we get to see what’s going on currently, where as some of the other channels have videos that were filmed a long time ago, which is fine I understand that editing takes a lot of time, I just find this so fascinating because you are talking about what is going on currently.
THIS. This is the content I love and need. It's very educational and inspiring. For a good while I want to create content on UA-cam but I'm so lost. Your key points will help so many people including myself, so thank you so much, Matthias 🤗
Holy moley, I have been doing UA-cam wrong. XD I HAVE been targeting everyone! I always thought that if I was niche then no one would look for or find my content. Then I got to the part about making content YOU want to watch. That hit like a freight train. Now I need to find out what I like to do and watch, and try to make that my niche. Thanks Matt. I really like this transparency. (Oh, something ELSE I like. I guess I'll add that to my channel too!)
Hey Matthias i was thinking of that there should be a way to sponsor the entire studio, like you van do on UA-cam with individual channels. But than for all these channels together. Also just wanna say that is amazing how much u have grown.
If u want to help start a studio lol lol #channel4change is coming and we could use your love too;) Hey... I love Matthias inspiration so much I will actually be quoted in a PhD level UA-cam study giving him props in Sept. That... Hi 5... was unapologetically impressive of us in getting your attn let's be real;)
I am going to have my team and I start working on Mission statements this weekend. This channel could not have come at a better point for me. Already I have learned so much and I can't wait to execute these factors you are bringing all of us.
You are truly an inspiration Matthias! I honestly have learnt a lot about leadership and about business from you! I want to be a CEO of my own company one day and I hope that's soon! You are a big inspiration in my life! All the love and support!
The reason why I am into this channel is I want to learn more about being a leader on how to handle different kinds of people. It may not be the same genre as running a studio and creating videos but leadership is still a factor in that. I'm not bored by it and to be honest I'm quite fascinated of the perspective of a leader on how would they think. This is a bit different from the Matthias I know seeing you from the start of team edge until now and I would just like to say I can continue to watch your videos in this channel. Thanks for making a channel that talks about the daily life of a leader and a CEO. Cheers! oh.. and Congrats on the new baby! 😁😁
Matthias you seem to be worrying about the potential and quality of Hi5 videos so here me out :- 1. You are one of a kind, a person who is constantly in desire for more experience and education, which is an awesome personality. 2. You take UA-cam as a business and with that mindset, the crew has come pretty far. Amazing! 3. You need not be over conscious about your channels, they are doing great with your leadership. 4. I really recommend not keeping the people at Hi5 at complete competition and rush. And I don't think that happens but just in case. 5. The other thing which effects your Dope or Nope videos, is when you guys start acting weird and exagerate randomly. No, I am serious it looks like we are watching a kid show. 6. As you mentioned in the video, you have good plans and I hope they turn out well... Best of Luck!!
Except don't take advice FROM ANYONE BUT YOURSELF BC ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING & MATTHIAS, IF U STOP LETTING PEOPLE ACT LIKE KIDS ON DOPE OR NOPE I'LL PUKE. Lol;)
This channel is really awesome. You have intensively explained why a mission statement is vital if someone wants to start a UA-cam channel. Hi5 Studios has grown leaps and bounds from its inception as Team Edge in 2016. In 2019, as it's CEO, you want Hi5 Studios to "get back to the basics" on UA-cam: why do a channel and what type of content. To "getting back to basics", the family just feels the love in their hearts for Hi5 Studios.
This is incredible! We review our mission statement every January. Defining your why. What is your process for finding what niche you should target? I feel in my business is where I struggle the most. Thank You again for sharing Matt! This stuff is good!
For me I believe it should stem naturally from the belief and the why. When it does, I find that I am far more compelled to see it through than some arbitrary relevance point.
Thank you Matt! Probably one of the best explanation of determining your niche I have heard. I guess you could say the more experience you get in your field or business it becomes more natural to narrow your target audience.
so far i like this channel because, my sister set up her own talent agency with her best friend, and so i know the building that business from the perspective of brother and intern, so seeing more of the business end of the studio and seeing where it converges and diverges from what she's had to do is interesting to me. it sounds like a plug, its not, found entertainment, their ethos echos yours in a way, it marries traditional business with forward thinking contenct and clients. each client is an expert in their field and has a mission statement they work towards.
Loved this video! It gave me a tool to start working on my own youtube channel, although i barely call myself a youtuber. It will give me a direction to lean on in order to find out what i want to do, and for what publique i am going to make it. I truly believe that as a leader, communication will be a strong keypoint! It is important to have an open attitude towards your employees so that they know they can come to you for idea’s, questions, conflicts,... Taking time to listen to your team is a sign of respect to them! It offers them the opportunity to grow and flourish and especially to learn! I have been in many different worksituations myself, either as a leader or an employee. And i noticed that whenever a leader closes himself off from the team, that the bussiness is doomed to fail. So i was actually kinda surprised to hear you say that the team is sometimes scared to ask you questions? Maybe something to reflect on? As the image i have of you Matt i think you are very reasonable and open enough to start a conversation with. Again, another enjoyable video, and i will use the tool to complete my own mission. Thanks for sharing knowledge, something a lot of people under apreciate, because knowledge is the power to build on your own life. Best regards from Belgium
I never thought about applying a Mission Statement to a UA-cam channel before. I mean, it makes sense as you say it. But I am loving the channel. Informative, thought-provoking, and entertaining! And a lot of this can be applied to stuff outside of YT. And keep "The Exec"! It's simple and clean!
So I know you may be concerned or aware of this channel not getting many views because it is very businessy, but coming from me personally it is actually very helpful and relatable. I am 16 and graduating soon, so things like teamwork, leadership and missions and dreams are very relevant in my life right now. This kind of content is very rare, and I'm not sure why because it is so important and useful to learn the things that you have been sharing. Even though we may not all be youtube creators, this content is applicable to so much more than just youtube. I just want to say thank you for branching out and being unique and different. I hope this is helpful and I'm so excited for this channel and its future potential!
You are inspiring. I'm thinking about a youtube channel for years. With your input, my faith I can do it rises. And the fears are replaced by knowledge.
I would just like to say there was a technical problem with the document WE HAVE LOOKED AT IT OK
Ok 👍
Samantha Fekete haha sorry it said no one looked at it! MY COMPUTER LIED TO ME
@@onlyoverkill Funny thing was she told you she read it earlier in the day, lol
Good job Matt you did * claps hands slowly *
SSSSSAAAAAMMMMM
Am I the only one who's finding the content of this channel very informative and educational ?
It's inspirational as well. Thanks Matthias for taking out your time and doing these videos for us. The CEO that matters....
Your right, all the stuff he is talking about is super useful, and I'm learning alot about how to make my channel better by one of my favorite UA-camrs in the business!
I take notes from his videos on here on Google Keep! i love these videos because its great for someone like me, while i may not be old enough to work in a business, it is still great for me because i want to work in a business, it seems like an interesting think to me, and because i want to work at Hi5 or somewhere similar to Hi5 and i can learn a lot from his site, and from The Exec
Oh definitely! I love that he's educating us. He is very intelligent.
You're exactly right. This has become my favorite channel on UA-cam.
That’s what I love about them Matt and the team aren’t uptight like you would think! I love them and it’s inspirational like you said he’s so cool about it and not so I tip my nose to you type I love Matt and all of Hi5
I love this channel, it’s both business and humor, two of my favorite things.
Caroline Grace W fu fu fu fu fu
Agreed. I've honestly been hoping that Mat would make something like this for a while.
I actually like this new "genre" on hi5,like keeping up with the problems n everything n explaining it to us so we dont get curious amymore
I like seeing Matthias more serious rather than always being a funny guy even though I like when he’s funny I like the balance now
Personally I find this channel very refreshing and exciting to watch. I have a hunger for knowledge in every aspect of my life, so this channel really feeds that hunger. I completely agree with the statement he made about creativity growing with restrictions! As an aspiring writer and over all creator, i struggle when I’m given to much space to play in, but give me restrictions and I’ll create something fantastic. In addition, I find these videos extremely dense in knowledge and that’s what keeps me watching. Matt has the ability to really break down and simplify something that others would have trouble understanding. While this channel might not be as popular as his other channels, for me, I would have to say that this channel will definitely be apart of my list of favorite UA-cam channels. I love information and the people that can make it simple to understand are truly amazing, hard workers. Keep up the amazing work and God bless.
Actually I'm 15, and I find this channel fascinating. I've never really thought of the business side of Hi5 Studios. Obviously, I knew it was a business, but this just puts a whole new perspective about Hi5 Studios and it's employees that I personally find very refreshing. Keep up the good work, Matt.
The Exec? The CEO? Matthias? What is your channel name! 😂😂😂
Turnip Spaghetti -
He is the Lord and Savior, Matt Hias
It changes everyday
You forgot unrelatable 😂😂😂
Wow I really can't wait to start my own channel [4 change] with all the love I see on this comment. Lol I need the Exec just to mentor me to ignore it I swear.
Btw i just followed suit w the thumbs down cuz I can't stand meanness. 😯😆😆🤑😎
I found the essay very informative, and helpful. I'm planning on creating my own channel soon, and this gave me good insights. I really am liking this channel, and your knowledge on topics. Keep up the great work.
Good morning Matthew😊☀️
The Exec 👍🏻⭐️🏆
I know these videos aren't going to get insane amount of views (yet), but personally, this video alone is already helping me with my business and growing UA-cam channel. I'm in the middle of rebranding and re-strategizing my content, and this video is pure gold for where I'm at. Thanks for taking the time to share, Matt! You're off to an amazing start with being so transparent and sharing actionable education on this channel.
Honestly Matt, you motivate me to be productive, I could listen to you talk about your company and vision for hours. You are so passionate. I’m so glad I’m part of this community.
This channel has turned into “how to better yourself/your business”...I love it. Thanks Matt
Can you put recording dates at start of videos coming from Hi5* or in the description
Hi, matt... love this channel.. keep posting good contents.. love ya..
I prefer this vlogging style. It’s more down to earth, more personal. It’s not putting on a show for entertainment. It’s there for the purpose of documenting how you run a company with a mission statement and a purpose.
#notifsquad where you at! love the new vids matt - keep being awesome
I’m so glad your are uploading again!
Matt! I Love these business videos we have been getting from you! You are such a huge inspiration to so many people, and someone I truly look forward to learning from.
Excited for all of the changes to come!
Thanks! That means a lot!
I admire u a lot Matthias... u always make great content.... these videos are helping me understand all the technical and professional concepts which is nice break from all the creative and funny content.... Love ur videos
Your quote about the box hit me really hard. I appreciate everything you do. That quote though I think might be a lot of the reason why my content channel has been struggling and why I have been struggling as a creator.
Hi Matt, I am a big fan of your 'Key series'... I am a writer from Mumbai, India. Just want to say, love the way you have arched the narrative of that story (if real) and LOVE it more if it is scripted. ❤️ Lots to learn from you. Would love to contribute in any way as a writer. Respect.
This channel is amazing! I really enjoy the leadership lessons. Thank you Matt!
• i needed this. my channel is at a standstill. i have a mission but never written the statement down. thank you for this ! ❤️
Please keep it coming! We love hearing from you more again and in such a personal and passionate way. Even if I am not a natural leader (I call myself an adviser because I am off the charts introverted) there is so much I can learn from growing a business at your level. I am fascinated with personality and psychology and I can't remember exactly but I think you mentioned before that you're introverted as well? I'd be curious to know how you balance your energy levels and still feel accomplished at the end of the day.
I really like this channel. it's really helpful for aspiring creators and more entertaining for your older audience. I have a feeling all of the fans of your older videos will come back thanks to this.
I watched this again and learned even MORE. Btw, I made a my mission statement. Let me know what you think! (Posted on your website in the comments!)
I admire you as a planner, Matt. It's hella impressive, but I'm more the type to do things as they come to me in lighthearted waves.
I'm actually loving this channel at the moment Matt, honestly. There's nothing better than watching and listening to someone speak about their passion, it's very inspirational too!!!
Matt, seeing you grow from having fun in your backyard with team edge to running multiple channels and managing an amazing team has been a journey, let me tell you. I can remember seeing you get so much happier when starting Hi5 studios and it’s been so cool to see you grow. I personally don’t put the information you give in these videos to use directly, but I still love listening to you speak about these things and learning from what you learnt. I admire your lifestyle and how hard you worked for this. Keep it going man and may this adventure take you to achieve even greater things! (Sorry if this comment is kind of messy, english is not my first language but I hope it’s okay.. :) )
When my friends watch my videos they say that it is funny and you should carry on.
However I’m a man of feedback, I love feedback.
And when people give me feedback I know what to improve and make.
But there is a problem people don’t comment as much as I would like and that’s the one thing I want to change.
So my statement is “do thing that you like and do it with your fans suggestions”. Sorry for it being a long comment.
I have a suggestion about us making suggestions. Maybe you could make a place, either on your site/blog or somewhere else, where we can directly input our feedback and suggestions towards not only this channel, but all of the others. I just think it'll help keep that stuff organized and even though you'll still have comments down here, it'll give you a place where you can directly see feedback. I'm not sure what you'd use but maybe you could change the "Contact" part of your site to "Feedback" where people can fill out a form with a free response section.
Been a follower of yourself for years now, our first child are the same age and I run a team of 15 staff, I enjoy this channel, it has been something, you could say I 'wanted without knowing', seeing you adjust to your own role and not always needing to be right, comforts myself I'm my managing role. Thank you.
This channel is something I wished for since I started watching Dope or Nope and your guys' vlogs! I love your leadership style and I am looking forward to each of these videos! As a mid 20s growing a career this channel is everything I need ❤
I love this channel so much! I am a dance choreographer and applying this to my classes and dances make so much sense! Thank you so much
Actually love this channel
I've already had my channel for over a year and I've felt lost quite often, unsure of if I even wanted to keep with it during the rougher times. Now I understand why. I'm hoping to utilize all this information effectively and continue on with it, with renewed life! The way you explain everything to us is incredibly helpful. Thank you very much for these videos and assets!
I can totally see that the mission statements can also be applied to other aspects of life. Love this video! Thank you Matt!
I really enjoy listening to you talk about the inner workings, and the work that goes into building and crafting a company that gives people good, fun content. You rarely get this side of UA-cam from a lot of UA-camrs.
Thank you for all you do you're such an inspiration!!
Great and insightful video.
@matthias This is exactly what I need as I am preparing to start a FB channel. I'm going to write out a Mission Statement before I start. Thank you for keeping it real.
I believe this channel is very interesting. I enjoy it. You are so intelligent.
God bless you, your family and hi5 employees.
Oh! And congratulations on the new little one. ☺️
Man I love the fact that you're doing this stuff again you're just really good at it and I enjoy it a lot it takes me out of my day-to-day Life as a truck driver and puts me into your life for the most part and the others around you. thank you! :)
My younger cousin really looks up too you! And so now, he is gonna take this video seriously.
*to
there ya go
Started watching this with high anticipation on the sole fact that i love Matthias and his work and when i actually started to watch each vid.. I have a new found appreciation for him and everything he does.. His lats video really spoke to me and my soul .. Watching this vid makes me want to start my own channel .. Matthias u r a true inspiration and i appreciate all of this i want to do u proud and take all of ur teachings and make the best channel i can
I honestly love this video. He listened to our feedback, he listened to what we had to say about the other channels and he is actively fixing it. The thing is, he isn't just fixing it... he is elevating his team and the studio, he is constantly educating himself in the best way possible. Seriously, the BEST Exec out there right now. He genuinely cares so that everyone can succeed; he is also providing opportunities for his team to improve within the company. I actually am very looking forward to this channel to be informed in the best way possible. I have always looked up to you, Matt and as much as I love your old content, you have matured and developed this awesome company that has helped a lot of people and also impacted a lot of peoples lives. Sorry, I am going on this little rant (if you can call it that) but I am seriously in awe of the growth Matthias has shown throughout his career on UA-cam. Whether it is his growing family, his growing company, etc., I am impressed and inspired! This channel wouldn't just help somebody starting a UA-cam channel, it also helps somebody starting their own company, non-profit, etc. Keep it up, Matt! You are inspiring!!!
I truly believe that this channel is going to help a lot of people not just people wanting to do UA-cam but everyone in general. by helping us figure out not only our mission statement in business and what we want to do for a living but our mission statement and goals we want for our entire life. Something I really liked about the matt and Amanda channel was that it could be very educational at times I actually wrote a comment on the last video over there about this. But something I didn’t say was some people like me can find it hard learning from people they don’t know or don’t care about and loose interest real fast but with this channel I find it more easy because you’re the type of person we can all look up to and someone we like to listen to
If don't live in the box you can't think outside it... That definitely stood out to me. Favorite part of the video!
Honestly Matt I think this is gonna be amazing in the journey with the team of Hi5 Studios! This is the first intellectual and informative video I found myself really interested and being a part of I have followed your channel Dope or Nope for a little over a year now and really enjoy watching you all! You have really made it to where I feel like I’m apart of your creations and I just started getting into the other channels of Hi5 in the last 6 months and in my opinion this was really awesome! I am very happy that you are trying to make your team stronger and be more interactive with the audiences. Thank you for this and I can’t wait to see where you and all of Hi5 go from here. You will have a follower all the way through and through!
Love this channel! Been recently pondering starting a channel or blog; so this whole channel is super insightful and thought provoking to me.
You are such a great teacher Matt. Learned more here than some of my college class.
Thanks so much for unpacking these principles, Matt! So many great UA-cam channels will launch and grow thanks to these concepts. Thank you for transparently sharing your experience and growth. Much appreciated, brother!
I really appreciate that!
@@AskMatthias absolutely! Proud of you, proud of Hi5. Your best days are ahead :) Jeremiah 29:11
Thanks for vlogging again Matt! It's great to see you outside of Dope or Nope again. It's been awhile. Thank you for being a great role model to me for 3 years now!
I just wanted to tell you that I am only a 14 year old girl but I find so much joy out of these new videos. I love learning all of the behind the scenes of your studio. Being a producer is now my dream job because of you. I know it isn’t the same as yours but becoming a CEO of a UA-cam company isn’t something I feel I can do in my city. I just wanted to thank you for putting out these educational videos because I learn a lot
I printed that article because I create content that I enjoy making and your guide (article) can help me when it comes to creating better content for my audience. Even though I have been making videos for over a year now, there is so much more I would like to do and know when it comes to providing content that is right for my audience. The type of videos that I am doing right now is something I believe it's great, but I know not everyone is interested in one thing. So This week I just filmed my first video for my second channel because I believe that change is important for me when it comes to making great content and my audience can see a different side of me. Thanks Matthias for vlogging again. I think that by watching your videos here can help me learn more about truly creating something wonderful that has a purpose and a mission. I enjoy watching you and everyone at Hi5 grow and become something awesome. Keep up that dope work Matthias! :)
LOVE that! 'True art is when soul meets structure.'
Hey Matt,
So my friend and I recently started our UA-cam channel that we’d been planning for a while. Our first video went up a month ago, and the response wasn’t what we were expecting. The comments section was hate comments and it was pretty rough. My friend and I were aware that our first video wasn’t that good. It was mainly a test run to figure out how to work all the widgets and such. Thanks to you though I never once considered quoting or taking it down. You were my inspiration for starting our channel and I’m really excited at to what it will become. So thank you for your inspiration, and hopefully one day we’ll be as great as Hi-5. My friend and I will definitely now sit down and come up with a mission statement for our channel. So thanks Matt your the best.
I did a mission statement. I’m so glad to hear I wasn’t being too anal retentive about doing it. I come from a corporate administrative assistant background. I wrote goals with threshold, target and stretch goals and did a mission statement. My mission statement was to use UA-cam to hold myself accountable for my weight loss goals while giving people like me a real life look at the struggles and celebrations of losing 300 lbs by being open, honest and transparent, I feel like having my mission statement has completely given me a q&a while I watch my videos to make sure those videos meet those levels. But I’m definitely going to redo it with your formula.
I’ve been going over and over in my head how to structure my own vlog channel to the point that I haven’t uploaded anything to it.
This helps tremendously.
I’m eager to learn more,
Thanks for taking the time to do this!
I totally understand and appreciate this channel. I work with companies that are in the lime light all the time and my job is to help transition people from being the ones looking at the bright lights to catching them up with everything behind them. I just wanted to say from a very loving place in my heart that your coming off very timid, definitely babying the audience. Only people that want to see this content will watch it and get it. As far as direction. Motivation and reality. We honestly need more of that. Too many people are trying to hoard knowledge. Or worse give vague images of knowledge only to try to sell pieces of it at a time.
Thanks for the feedback. Possibly babying. Unintentionally honestly. I’m used to a younger audience, that being said I want to make sure I can inspire newcomers too so it might still work for everyone
Awesome information! Keep it up! Thanks for sharing!
We homeschool our boys, and they are currently in an Entrepreneurship class. I want to thank you for creating this channel, it is making content they are learning in the classroom more relevant to the world they are living in.
So nice that we can pick your brain and thoughts again. So happy that you bring back this aspect of video, I missed it a lot.
I’m creating my own company and this is very helpful specially because Matt is accompanying me along side with me. Thanks for coming at such important time to share this as a CEO
Matt thank you for everything you do for all of us- it means the world 💕
Watching all the videos on this channel while I am working at home. I have a unique job. Thank you for all the great information. I just found this channel today and absolutely love it. Please post more. Much appreciation.
You're awesome and very inspiring Matt: first you were in Team Edge winning the Edge games 😂. And now you are helping out/ teaching others and showing new people new opportunities and things. I honestly think you are amazing and I am so happy you have come up with this channel. I hope you see this comment because whenever I comment on any video from people from Hi5 studios it doesn't get seen so can we break that curse? XD I hope this isn't too cheesy! 🤣😂
OoF it's cheesy
🤣😂😬
I don’t know if you will see this since it’s been a year since you posted this, but I will try anyways. If you have have a channel and its content applies to a very specific audience how do you create content that will invite other audiences to join your channel and watch?
Also I hope you show more of the Journey Board!
The Exec would be much more fitting as a name for this channel.
Now, here's something I wanted to ask of you, could you maybe try and give advice to trying to find the "who" of a person?
+1 to "The Exec" I have to say, you're a really good educator with all that passion behind it. Even though I don't plan on making it on You Tube, a lot of what you mentioned relates to the business I plan on making in the near future. Also, the thing about mission statements and how it keeps you focused is key and I like that you acknowledged it. Too many times have I seen either on You Tube or companies in general forget about their audience when money begins to print. I always say if you have a good product and you're passion about it, money will follow regardless. People will support the things they love.
Anyway, keep up the good work! It's been a pleasure watching you create and grow for the last 3 or 4 years.
How do u stay consistent? Like get motivation to edit your videos and upload them constantly?? Love theses videos so much!!! Keep them up!! 😋
💰💵💰
@@kiaraj.7809 perfect answer
Consistent for a month max, before the channel gets abandoned and another one is made..lol
I love how real this channel its really helpful
I love this channel! Whenever I see your team upload vlogs/content and see the creative environment they work in it sparks something inside me. I've been in that creative environment and I miss it. This channel brings in reality and great insight that people don't think about. There's real work that goes into creativity. I want to be back in an environment like this.
I honestly love this channel so much. It honestly has reignited my business fire because I was experiencing such burn out and I think I needed this. I really do enjoy this. It's smart, it's funny, and it's human.
I absolutely love where you are planning to go with this channel. Las year, when you were making videos and having those little snippets of business talk at the start of each video, I was just as excited to get those tidbits of knowledge and experience from you as to see the content that the vlog was supposed to be about. While I'm not a UA-cam creator, I have a definite interest in business and a need to learn more about leadership. I can't wait to see more, thank you!
Hi! Im a supervisor for a retail chain. I just wanted to tell you, that after watching your video on OKRs I actually mentioned it to my boss and he's gonna look into making them a thing for us next quarter so thank you for helping us come up with a new way of looking at business and focus!
I feels like this allows us to see deeper into the other channels and allows us as the audience to connect on a different level with each other channel even though these videos are specifically about the other channels. I love this channel so far and am not going into video making but it applies a lot to other areas of life. You can use that mission statement template with anything, and I love that about this channel it gets you thinking about your own life not just hi5 studios. So thank you for this video and the previous few. Keep up the great work.
On a separate note, kind of, I think what I love so much about this is that it is current, so we get to see what’s going on currently, where as some of the other channels have videos that were filmed a long time ago, which is fine I understand that editing takes a lot of time, I just find this so fascinating because you are talking about what is going on currently.
THIS. This is the content I love and need. It's very educational and inspiring. For a good while I want to create content on UA-cam but I'm so lost. Your key points will help so many people including myself, so thank you so much, Matthias 🤗
Holy moley, I have been doing UA-cam wrong. XD I HAVE been targeting everyone! I always thought that if I was niche then no one would look for or find my content. Then I got to the part about making content YOU want to watch. That hit like a freight train. Now I need to find out what I like to do and watch, and try to make that my niche. Thanks Matt. I really like this transparency. (Oh, something ELSE I like. I guess I'll add that to my channel too!)
Hey Matthias i was thinking of that there should be a way to sponsor the entire studio, like you van do on UA-cam with individual channels. But than for all these channels together. Also just wanna say that is amazing how much u have grown.
If u want to help start a studio lol lol #channel4change is coming and we could use your love too;)
Hey... I love Matthias inspiration so much I will actually be quoted in a PhD level UA-cam study giving him props in Sept.
That... Hi 5... was unapologetically impressive of us in getting your attn let's be real;)
I am going to have my team and I start working on Mission statements this weekend. This channel could not have come at a better point for me. Already I have learned so much and I can't wait to execute these factors you are bringing all of us.
This is so informative, and makes me feel much more motivated in a way. I love what you're doing with this channel Matthias!
You are truly an inspiration Matthias! I honestly have learnt a lot about leadership and about business from you! I want to be a CEO of my own company one day and I hope that's soon! You are a big inspiration in my life! All the love and support!
The reason why I am into this channel is I want to learn more about being a leader on how to handle different kinds of people. It may not be the same genre as running a studio and creating videos but leadership is still a factor in that. I'm not bored by it and to be honest I'm quite fascinated of the perspective of a leader on how would they think. This is a bit different from the Matthias I know seeing you from the start of team edge until now and I would just like to say I can continue to watch your videos in this channel. Thanks for making a channel that talks about the daily life of a leader and a CEO. Cheers! oh.. and Congrats on the new baby! 😁😁
I love this channel so much! It’s you, but not cracking jokes. Serious, but happy.
Love the name The Exec and I’m loving the new content! Not only is it helpful in the sense of content creation but life as well.
I love that you are vlogging again! I like the new direction this channel is taking. It will help me with my own channel.
Matthias you seem to be worrying about the potential and quality of Hi5 videos so here me out :-
1. You are one of a kind, a person who is constantly in desire for more experience and education, which is an awesome personality.
2. You take UA-cam as a business and with that mindset, the crew has come pretty far. Amazing!
3. You need not be over conscious about your channels, they are doing great with your leadership.
4. I really recommend not keeping the people at Hi5 at complete competition and rush. And I don't think that happens but just in case.
5. The other thing which effects your Dope or Nope videos, is when you guys start acting weird and exagerate randomly. No, I am serious it looks like we are watching a kid show.
6. As you mentioned in the video, you have good plans and I hope they turn out well...
Best of Luck!!
Ditto:)
Except don't take advice FROM ANYONE BUT YOURSELF BC ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING & MATTHIAS, IF U STOP LETTING PEOPLE ACT LIKE KIDS ON DOPE OR NOPE I'LL PUKE. Lol;)
This channel is really awesome. You have intensively explained why a mission statement is vital if someone wants to start a UA-cam channel. Hi5 Studios has grown leaps and bounds from its inception as Team Edge in 2016. In 2019, as it's CEO, you want Hi5 Studios to "get back to the basics" on UA-cam: why do a channel and what type of content. To "getting back to basics", the family just feels the love in their hearts for Hi5 Studios.
This is incredible! We review our mission statement every January. Defining your why. What is your process for finding what niche you should target? I feel in my business is where I struggle the most. Thank You again for sharing Matt! This stuff is good!
For me I believe it should stem naturally from the belief and the why. When it does, I find that I am far more compelled to see it through than some arbitrary relevance point.
Thank you Matt! Probably one of the best explanation of determining your niche I have heard. I guess you could say the more experience you get in your field or business it becomes more natural to narrow your target audience.
Thank you for sharing how to create and use the channel mission
I love the new content on here, although I'm not planning to be a UA-camr, it's very interesting and I can still learn from these.
so far i like this channel because, my sister set up her own talent agency with her best friend, and so i know the building that business from the perspective of brother and intern, so seeing more of the business end of the studio and seeing where it converges and diverges from what she's had to do is interesting to me. it sounds like a plug, its not, found entertainment, their ethos echos yours in a way, it marries traditional business with forward thinking contenct and clients. each client is an expert in their field and has a mission statement they work towards.
As someone that runs two sole-proprietorships I'm really enjoying this new channel direction!
Loved this video!
It gave me a tool to start working on my own youtube channel, although i barely call myself a youtuber. It will give me a direction to lean on in order to find out what i want to do, and for what publique i am going to make it.
I truly believe that as a leader, communication will be a strong keypoint! It is important to have an open attitude towards your employees so that they know they can come to you for idea’s, questions, conflicts,...
Taking time to listen to your team is a sign of respect to them! It offers them the opportunity to grow and flourish and especially to learn! I have been in many different worksituations myself, either as a leader or an employee. And i noticed that whenever a leader closes himself off from the team, that the bussiness is doomed to fail.
So i was actually kinda surprised to hear you say that the team is sometimes scared to ask you questions? Maybe something to reflect on? As the image i have of you Matt i think you are very reasonable and open enough to start a conversation with.
Again, another enjoyable video, and i will use the tool to complete my own mission.
Thanks for sharing knowledge, something a lot of people under apreciate, because knowledge is the power to build on your own life.
Best regards from Belgium
I often get that I am intimidating. Definitely working on being more approachable.
Matt this new vlogging style has helped me, so thank you!
It looks good and easy to understand. I hope your team understands it and implement the mission statement
I never thought about applying a Mission Statement to a UA-cam channel before. I mean, it makes sense as you say it.
But I am loving the channel. Informative, thought-provoking, and entertaining! And a lot of this can be applied to stuff outside of YT. And keep "The Exec"! It's simple and clean!
So I know you may be concerned or aware of this channel not getting many views because it is very businessy, but coming from me personally it is actually very helpful and relatable. I am 16 and graduating soon, so things like teamwork, leadership and missions and dreams are very relevant in my life right now. This kind of content is very rare, and I'm not sure why because it is so important and useful to learn the things that you have been sharing. Even though we may not all be youtube creators, this content is applicable to so much more than just youtube. I just want to say thank you for branching out and being unique and different. I hope this is helpful and I'm so excited for this channel and its future potential!
This is becoming one of my favorite channels and is also so informative. I enjoy the information and also how you still have humor in it.
You are inspiring. I'm thinking about a youtube channel for years. With your input, my faith I can do it rises. And the fears are replaced by knowledge.
Awesome!
