Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.You will not believe the stretch of days Mr. Beast just had. On September 7th at the MTV Video Music Awards, Jimmy Donaldson—aka Mr. Beast—made waves with a rare red carpet appearance alongside his fiancée, Thea Booysen. According to Parade, the couple stole the spotlight at UBS Arena in New York, where Jimmy presented the first award of the night. Booysen, a neuropsychologist and esports caster, dazzled in a rhinestone and pearl-studded mini dress and showed off her engagement ring for the paparazzi. The two have kept their relationship mostly private, but moments like this—coming off the Los Angeles premiere of Mr. Beast's Beast Games series—are guaranteed to keep their fans buzzing until the next reveal.On the business front, seismic news just dropped about Mr. Beast aiming at the phone industry. Business Insider and Fortune both confirm he's planning a 2026 launch for his own Mr. Beast-branded mobile service, modeled after the MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) playbook. The investor leak says Beast Industries is pushing hard for diversification; they're already running Feastables chocolate bars, the Lunchly meal kit collab with Logan Paul and KSI, Mr. Beast Burger ghost kitchens, and even considering moves into fintech and mobile gaming. If Jimmy's fan base converts—just a fraction of those 431 million YouTube subscribers—he could end up with a phone empire rivaling Ryan Reynolds' Mint Mobile success. The “Beast phone” isn't set in stone yet, and there's speculation about which carrier will become his partner, but there's no question this is a strategic leap destined for biographical significance.Meanwhile, social media went wild over the September 5 announcement that Mr. Beast had “bought” the NFL—or so the new viral video and campaign would have you believe. YouTube, Mr. Beast, and the NFL launched the “What if MrBeast Bought the NFL?” campaign to hype the exclusive first-ever live NFL game streamed on YouTube. For the spectacle, Mr. Beast packed NFL teams with YouTubers like Dude Perfect, Valkyrae, IShowSpeed, and others, whose combined 695 million subscribers made the cross-content blitz impossible to ignore. YouTube's official channels, as well as outlets like Quasa.io, highlighted how this collaboration represents a shift in sports media by infusing mainstream sports with meme and creator culture. The actual broadcast, which streamed the Chargers vs. Chiefs game from São Paulo for free, featured creator-led “Watch With” parties, putting influencers at the heart of a global sporting event.On socials, Mr. Beast's personal accounts and those of the NFL, YouTube, and participating creators have been pushing behind-the-scenes moments, inflating the crossover campaign's reach into the stratosphere. As of today, there's no confirmed talk regarding wedding dates, but rumor—sparked by red carpet whispers and fan speculation—has it that a mega-event could be in the works, so keep your eyes glued for any update.That's your flash on every can't-miss update from the world of Mr. Beast.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.The last few days have been blockbuster ones for Mr. Beast, known to friends and followers as Jimmy Donaldson. Yesterday, social feeds and media outlets exploded after Mr. Beast posted a tongue-in-cheek Instagram update claiming he had bought the entire NFL, complete with behind-the-scenes shots alongside commissioner Roger Goodell and “drafting” YouTubers to NFL teams. Parade Magazine covered the event, noting that Donaldson is putting top online personalities like iShowSpeed and Haley Baylee on the rosters for a wild new YouTube video. The NFL itself even joined the banter in the comments, congratulating Jimmy on “good doing business” – clearly signaling this is a playful collab, not a real acquisition. The video is a promo for YouTube's first exclusive NFL live stream: this Friday, September 5, fans will get to watch the Chargers versus Chiefs for free, live from São Paulo, Brazil. According to the official YouTube Blog, creators like Valkyrae, Dude Perfect, and Sketch will be penned into alternate livestreams, transforming a traditional NFL broadcast into a creator-led internet spectacle, while fans can bounce between creator commentary party streams for a totally new experience. Economic Times dissected viral rumors, confirming Mr. Beast didn't actually buy the NFL, but emphasizing how the collaboration could become a cultural inflection point for sports and digital creators. On the business front, news broke via Business Insider and Android Police that Mr. Beast is plotting a Beast-branded mobile phone service, aiming for a 2026 launch. This won't be a new cell network but a rebranded mobile virtual network operator, built on existing telecom infrastructure just like Ryan Reynolds' Mint Mobile. Beast Industries already covers chocolate bars, toys, and the new “Lunchly” food line, but a phone plan could let Donaldson tap directly into his mind-blowing YouTube audience of 400 million for recurring revenue. The project, while intriguing, isn't top priority yet, but sources close to the company reveal serious evaluation and planning underway.On social media, the reaction has been electric. Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube have all been flooded with fans, NFL insiders, and creators speculating about future collabs, watching for hidden clues, and wondering what Mr. Beast could buy next. Speculation about fintech or mobile gaming ventures is swirling but remains unconfirmed for now. Thank you for tuning in to Mr. Beast Biography Flash.

“Can you tell when something is written by a human—or are we all just reading AI now?”That's the question that kicks off a wildly entertaining and thought-provoking segment of The Ben and Skin Show. In this episode, the gang dives headfirst into the blurred lines between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Skin shares his admiration for Dallas writer Sarah Hepola and her deeply human profile of Dude Perfect, contrasting it with the uncanny weirdness of AI-generated content—like the now-infamous Men's Health article that may have confused Luka Dončić with Donte DiVincenzo. Ben recounts a surreal moment at Dude Perfect's new mega-office, where a family recognized him as the guy who wrote their daughter's favorite song. “Is that my most listened-to song ever?” he wonders. Meanwhile, Skin's latest obsession—matcha—sparks a hilarious debate about taste, caffeine crashes, and whether drinking green powder makes you a “performative male.”
In this episode, Ben and Spence discuss Ben's recent induction into the Steelers Hall of Honor, the excitement and challenges of training camp, the importance of faith and family in their lives, and an analysis of the Steelers' prospects for the upcoming season.

An enduring challenge of the media business is finding leverage in models. This used to be fairly straightforward. Newspapers had leverage as quasi-local monopolies, Magazines had leverage that allowed Vanity Fair to pay a writer nearly $500k for three articles a year – and still be nicely profitable. And so on. It's increasingly hard to find that kind of leverage beyond a few exceptions to the rule. The closest is likely in lean creator businesses that have created valuable intellectual property that can be monetized in various ways. Dude Perfect is a great example of this. The four dudes from Texas A&M went from viral trick-shot videos on YouTube to building a very profitable media franchise with diverse revenue streams Beyond YouTube ads, Dude Perfect developed business lines in merchandise, licensing and live events. It is a testament to the benefits of bootstrapping. According to an investor deck I saw, Dude Perfect grew to $35 million in revenue with over 50% EBITDA margins. That attracted a $200 million valuation in a funding led by Highmount Capital to expand the business.Andrew Yaffe, the Dude Perfect CEO who joined in October 2024 from the NBA, spoke to me on The Rebooting Show about how to build enduring franchise value in this kind of creator-led media business.

In this episode, I sit down with Gary Strauss, a seasoned digital sales professional whose impressive career has spanned groundbreaking moments in the media industry. Gary was a key player in the pioneering days of digital advertising as part of the initial outside sales team at DoubleClick, a company whose acquisition by Google in 2008 was pivotal to shaping the tech giant's dominance in the ad tech space. Gary's career highlights include being part of two companies that went public and contributing to successful acquisitions, one of which culminated in a sale to Epic Games—the creators of Fortnite. Most recently, he led Business Development at Kidoodle TV, a free, kid-safe streaming service featuring premium content such as Dude Perfect.Throughout our conversation, Gary shares invaluable insights on building a fulfilling and impactful career in sales. He underscores the importance of preparation, persistence, and adaptability in the face of challenges, offering practical advice for navigating the professional landscape. Key takeaways include: • Sales as a career path: It's not just about selling a product but solving problems and building trust. Likeability and strong client relationships are the cornerstone of success. • Entrepreneurial spirit in sales: Sales professionals often run their own “mini-business” within larger organizations, making it an ideal path for those with a knack for innovation and initiative. • Career strategies: Take jobs for the education, not just the paycheck. Understand the company culture, and choose environments that nurture talent and align with your goals. • Giving back: Gary shares his involvement with the amazing Tom Deierlein Foundation.

As Texas A&M students in the mid 2000's, Cory Cotton, Tyler Toney and their housemates spent countless hours playing hockey in the living room and attempting trick shots in the backyard. A spontaneous bet over a sandwich led the guys to make a video montage of outrageous basketball shots, which they titled Dude Perfect and posted on a new site called YouTube. After that first video wound up on Good Morning America, the five Dudes challenged themselves to even more outrageous stunts: an impossible shot from the third tier of a stadium, a here-goes-nothing lob from the door of a flying plane. But despite their growing popularity, the group spent five grueling years trying to build ad revenue and brand deals while juggling day jobs and commuting weekly across Texas. In 2014, they finally committed fulltime to building Dude Perfect into a robust entertainment platform, which today includes books, TV, live events, and a YouTube channel that has more subscribers than the NBA, NFL, and NHL combined.This episode was produced by J.C. Howard with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

Susie's 30 for 30 journey continues with the documentary about Dude Perfect, the YouTube sensations (and megahit) who specialize in trick shots and other sports spectacles. We hear how they got started, how they were able to harness their virality, and what it's really like creating content as a full-time job as middle-aged men. We hear the latest science on patients with brain damage, and how researchers realized that a significant number of them have cognitive "awareness" despite being considered vegetative or minimally conscious by the traditional bedside tests. We discuss the questions about their methodology and speculate about what we would want to happen if we were in that position. Susie talks about Michael Oher, who is the Black high school football star who was taken in by a white, wealthy family portrayed in the Blind Side film (made famous by Sandra Bullock's Oscar performance), and his lawsuit against the family. He claims they exploited him and profited off of him without compensating him. We debate the merits of his case and the claims made against him by the author of the book on the subject and what the family has to say. We hear about Poland's innovative technique for monitoring the contaminants in their water supply, and how they are relying on animals to alert them of any concerns.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Head to https://moshlife.com/braincandy to save 20% off plus FREE shipping on your first 6-count Trial Pack.For 55% off your order, head to https://www.nurturelife.com and use code BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
