In this special compilation episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty curates powerful insights from five extraordinary entrepreneurs: Emma Grede, Michael Rubin, Codie Sanchez, Brian Chesky, and Suneera Madhani, offering a dynamic, behind-the-scenes look at what it truly takes to build something meaningful from scratch. Each guest brings a unique lens to the entrepreneurial journey: Emma Grede reminds us that the most powerful companies are born by solving real problems for underserved communities; Codie Sanchez breaks down how grit, financial fluency, and deal-making are more crucial than a flashy idea; while Brian Chesky reveals that building a world-changing company like Airbnb starts with seeing your business as a reflection of your inner world. Jay weaves these stories into a powerful masterclass on purpose-driven entrepreneurship, showing that success doesn’t come from confidence, funding, or perfection. It comes from grit, learning through failure, and showing up again and again. Michael Rubin drives home the power of obsession and adaptability, while Suneera Madhani brings it back to reality, reminding us that the biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s never starting. It’s a powerful reminder that stepping out of comfort and into aligned action is where true transformation begins. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Build a Purpose-Driven Brand from Scratch How to Master Deal-Making and Speak the Language of Money How to Stay Innovative When Success Hits How to Start a Business Without Industry Expertise How to Scale a Company Without Losing Your Values How to Take Risks Without Letting Fear Lead the Way The most meaningful work often comes from solving problems close to your heart, staying curious, and showing up even when it’s hard.

Marc Hustvedt shares insights from helping to scale Mr. Beast to 350 million YouTube subscribers and building a global creator brand, revealing the unique combination of traits that separates extraordinary creators from everyone else. Check out Contrarian Thinking and Codie Sanchez to learn more about Marc's current work helping people buy and grow small businesses.• Creator-led businesses eliminate the power imbalance found in traditional media• The most successful YouTube integrations feel natural and appeal to the global audience• Small, targeted audiences of 10,000 engaged followers can build lucrative businesses• The future of media belongs to individual creators who own their businesses• Work ethic and obsessive dedication to the craft set apart successful creators• Jimmy Donaldson (Mr. Beast) studied YouTube content for years before finding success• High appetite for risk and willingness to bet on yourself is critical• Single-minded focus on "making the best YouTube videos in the world" drove their strategy• The $3.5 million Squid Game recreation video was an inflection point for the brand• Traditional production methods create unnecessary friction for creatorsEver wonder what makes certain creators explode while others struggle to gain traction? Marc Hustvedt, former president of Mr. Beast, pulls back the curtain on how they built one of the most successful creator brands in history expanding into ventures like Feastables Chocolate and Mr. Beast Burger.What truly sets apart the 0.1% of creators from everyone else? Marc reveals it's a unique combination of traits: relentless work ethic, obsessive attention to detail, willingness to take massive risks, and laser-sharp focus on a singular mission. Jimmy Donaldson didn't just appear out of nowhere – he spent years making videos that barely got views, studying YouTube's ecosystem, and constantly iterating. The breakthrough came from understanding that success requires both quantity and quality, paired with the courage to bet everything on yourself repeatedly. The $3.5 million Squid Game recreation video serves as a perfect case study of their approach. While traditional media might have stretched production over months of planning and bureaucracy, the Mr. Beast team compressed timelines dramatically. They secured one of the largest brand deals ever for a single YouTube video by creating a sense of FOMO around cultural moments. Most importantly, they eliminated the traditional production hierarchy: "We were both the studio and the network," Marc explains, allowing for nimble decision-making that put creative vision first.Marc is now bringing his digital expertise to Contrarian Thinking as their president, where he's exploring the intersection of education and creator economy. His observation? "You don't need a hundred million people to watch a video. If you've got the right 10,000 people, you can have a very lucrative business." This shift toward highly engaged, targeted communities represents the next evolution in digital content creation. Listen now for insights on building digital businesses, recognizing talent, and creating content that captivates audiences in today's fragmented landscape.Marc Hustvedt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marchustvedt/Marc was the President of Mr. Beast from 2021 to 2024.

Unfortunately, I've never seen it done that way." - Codie SanchezCodie Sanchez shatters common misconceptions about wealth creation with hard-hitting statistics: 79% of millionaires are self-made and 60% own businesses. Drawing from her intense finance career where 80-hour workweeks were standard, Codie reveals the stark reality behind financial success—one where her colleague literally collapsed from exhaustion on a New York street. This isn't just theoretical advice; it's battle-tested wisdom from someone who's experienced both the crushing demands of corporate finance and the calculated risks of business ownership.The path to financial independence isn't through passive shortcuts, but through strategic risk-taking and developing invaluable skills. Codie unpacks two powerful yet rarely discussed approaches to gaining equity in businesses without starting from scratch: buying in with modest investments to gain partial ownership or becoming so indispensable that companies can't operate without you. For those uncomfortable with risk, Codie offers a sobering reality check—business ownership might not be your path, especially when you're facing that Friday night call about running out of cash.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

What if the secret to extraordinary wealth isn't about betting on the next big thing, but buying something tried-and-true—like a plumbing business, a car wash, or a cleaning company? What if the future of entrepreneurship isn't on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley, but on Main Street—if only we knew how to seize it?My guest today is Codie Sanchez, founder and CEO of Contrarian Thinking, a digital education platform and media company with over 6 million followersIn her new book, Main Street Millionaire: How to Make Extraordinary Wealth Buying Ordinary Businesses, Codie lays out her bold argument: that buying profitable, established, cash-flowing businesses is the most underrated path to building wealth—and that now is the time to act. Why? Because America is facing a generational handoff. Over 40 million Americans are hitting retirement age, and baby boomers—who currently own nearly two-thirds of small businesses with employees—are poised to sell. Codie calls it a “silver tsunami,” and for those who know how to navigate it, it could mean once-in-a-generation opportunity.In our conversation, Codie opens up about her own unlikely journey from journalism to Wall Street to Main Street. We talk about how she made the leap, the psychological hurdles to entrepreneurship, and how she thinks about power, relationships, and the future of work in an AI-driven world.
