Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the past few days Mr. Beast has been at the center of several major headlines and business moves that could be pivotal for his career and public image. According to Business Insider Mr. Beast recently revealed in a deposition that he maintains a significant ownership stake in his five billion dollar company Beast Industries. This came to light as part of an ongoing legal case but the bigger story is the aggressive expansion of Beast Industries itself. The company has reportedly been on a major hiring spree adding four new executives tasked with boosting both content creation and brand deal strategies. This signals an intent to scale in ways we have not seen before with Mr. Beast obviously staying heavily involved in the direction and vision of his conglomerate.On the business front Arise News reports that Mr. Beast had a high-profile international appearance launching Beast Land in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. This attraction anchors Saudi Arabia's multi-billion dollar push to attract global entertainment eyes and positions Mr. Beast as not just a content creator but a central figure in shaping worldwide entertainment experiences. The launch was not only covered extensively by Middle Eastern outlets but seen as yet another sign of his sway with young audiences and his ability to partner on cross-continental ventures.While it's been a busy week for Beast Industries operationally there has also been social media buzz after Mr. Beast took to Twitter to tease a new mega-giveaway planned for later this month. While concrete details have not been confirmed fans are already circulating speculation about the scope and format based on his recent high-budget stunts. There's also chatter about potential collaborations—nothing confirmed yet—but several TikTok influencers and mainstream media observers are pointing to Mr. Beast's increased networking at global events as a sign that something even bigger could be on the horizon.It's also worth noting that the recent news cycle is focusing less on typical YouTube uploads and more on the strategic evolution of Beast Industries Mr. Beast's changing role from solo creator to entertainment mogul and his increasingly global footprint. If the current hiring blitz and business partnerships are any indication we may be seeing the early stages of a long-term shift in how Mr. Beast is perceived both inside and outside the platform that made him famous.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of the Mr. Beast podcast.

A Note from James:Wisdom Takes Work is Ryan Holiday's fourth book exploring the Stoic virtues, and this time he's taking on the big one — wisdom. His earlier books on courage, temperance, and justice were all great conversations, but this one hit me personally. I've often thought I had wisdom, only to realize later that I didn't — or at least not as much as I thought.Ryan's writing blends ancient Stoic philosophy with modern life in a way that feels both practical and timeless. We talked about how wisdom isn't something you possess; it's something you practice. It's not about having all the answers — it's about asking better questions, learning through experience, and staying humble enough to admit what you don't know. Ryan's back on the show — probably more than any other guest — and each time, I walk away seeing the world differently.Episode Description:James sits down with bestselling author and Stoic philosopher Ryan Holiday to discuss Wisdom Takes Work, the newest addition to his series on the cardinal virtues. Together they unpack what “wisdom” really means — not as a static trait, but as an ongoing practice of curiosity, humility, and doing hard things.The conversation ranges from the limits of AI (“great at knowledge, terrible at wisdom”) to the importance of reading history, counting names on a plaque instead of trusting bad data, and learning by doing. Ryan also shares new insights from his upcoming biography of Admiral James Stockdale, and how the act of challenging himself as a writer mirrors the Stoic pursuit of wisdom itself.What You'll Learn:Why wisdom isn't about knowing — it's about learning, questioning, and doing.How AI amplifies knowledge but can't replace human judgment or discernment.Why experience, pain, and humility are necessary ingredients for growth.How Ryan's research on Admiral Stockdale is changing his approach to writing and life.Practical ways to cultivate wisdom — from reading and travel to mentoring and open-mindedness.Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Introduction: The difference between knowledge and wisdom [02:54] A Note from James — Why wisdom is the hardest virtue [05:37] AI's limits and the danger of overconfidence [08:57] “Wisdom takes work”: Stoic principles in action [11:35] The verbs of virtue — acting with courage, justice, and discipline [13:12] Ryan's AI experiment and the Naval Academy plaque [16:10] Knowing what you don't know — humility as wisdom [18:30] Parenting, ego, and learning to argue less [22:00] Why age doesn't guarantee wisdom [25:10] The trap of resisting change and staying “the smartest person in the room” [27:00] Adapting to new generations and ideas [31:00] Is wisdom a talent or a learned skill?

There's talk of Gitmo gift shops, AI bubbles bursting, and MrBeast's soul—if he even has one.

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm joined by Kevan Lee and Shannon Deep, co-founders of Bonfire – a creative studio reimagining what it means to build brands, tell stories, and live meaningful lives. We talk about how Bonfire began as a "Trojan horse" – a branding agency on the surface, but really a vehicle for deeper questions: What does fulfilling work look like? How do we find meaning beyond our careers? And how can business become a space for honesty, connection, and growth? Kevan and Shannon share how their partnership formed, what it takes to build trust as co-founders, and how vulnerability and self-awareness fuel their collaboration. We explore their path from tech and theater to building Bonfire, hosting creative retreats, and helping founders tell more authentic stories. We also dive into how AI is changing storytelling, the myth of "broetry" on LinkedIn, and why transparency is the future of marketing. If you're curious about what's next for creativity, leadership, and meaningful work, this episode is for you. And for more conversations like this, stay tuned for Responsive Conference 2026, where we'll be continuing the dialogue on human connection, business, and the evolving role of AI. Start (0:00) How Bonfire Started (14:25) Robin notes how transparent and intentional they've been building their business and community Says Bonfire feels like a 21st-century agency – creative, human, and not traditional Invites them to describe what they're building and their vision for it Kevan's response: Admits he feels imposter syndrome around being called an "entrepreneur" Laughs that it's technically true but still feels strange Describes Bonfire as partly a traditional branding agency They work with early-stage startups Help with brand strategy, positioning, messaging, and differentiation. But says the heart of their work is much deeper "We create spaces for people to explore what a fulfilling life looks like – one that includes work, but isn't defined by it." Their own careers inspired this – jobs that paid well but felt empty, or jobs that felt good but didn't pay the bills Bonfire became their way to build something more meaningful A space to have these conversations themselves And to invite others into it This includes community, retreats, and nontraditional formats Jokes that the agency side is a Trojan horse – a vehicle to fund the work they truly care about Shannon adds: They're agnostic about what Bonfire "does" Could be a branding agency, publishing house, even an ice cream shop "Money is just gas in the engine." The larger goal is creating spaces for people to explore their relationship to work Especially for those in transition, searching for meaning, or redefining success Robin reflects on their unusual path Notes most marketers who start agencies chase awards and fame But Shannon and Kevan built Bonfire around what they wished existed Recalls their past experiences Kevan's path from running a publication (later sold to Vox) to Buffer and then Oyster Shannon's shared time with him at Oyster Mentions their recent milestone – Bonfire's first live retreat in France 13 participants, including them Held in a rented castle For a two-year-old business, he calls it ambitious and impressive Asks: "How did it go? What did people get out of it?" Shannon on the retreat Laughs that they're still processing what it was They had a vibe in mind – but not a fixed structure One participant described it as "a wellness retreat for marketers" Not wrong – but also not quite right Attendees came from tech and non-tech backgrounds The focus: exploring people's most meaningful relationship to work Who you are when you're not at your desk How to bring that awareness back to real life — beyond castles and catered meals People came at it from different angles Some felt misaligned with their work Others were looking for something new Everyone was at a crossroads in their career Kevan on the space they built The retreat encouraged radical honesty People shared things like: "I have this job because I crave approval." "I care about money as a status symbol." "I hate what I do, but I don't know what else I'd be good at." They didn't force vulnerability, but wanted to make it safe if people chose it They thought deeply about values – what needed to be true for that kind of trust Personally, Kevan says the experience shifted his identity From "marketer" to something else – maybe "producer," maybe "creator" The retreat made him realize how many paths are possible "Now I just want to do more of this." Robin notes there are "so many threads to pull on" Brings up family business and partnerships Shares his own experience growing up in his dad's small business Talks about lessons from Robin's Cafe and the challenges of partnerships Says he's fascinated by co-founder dynamics – both powerful and tricky Asks how Shannon and Kevan's working relationship works What it was like at Oyster Why they decided to start Bonfire together And how it's evolved after the retreat Kevan on their beginnings He hired Shannon at Oyster – she was Editorial Director, he was SVP of Marketing Worked together for about a year and a half Knew early on that something clicked Shared values Similar worldview Trusted each other When Oyster ended, partnering up felt natural – "Let's figure out what's next, together." Robin observes their groundedness Says they both seem stable and mature, which likely helps the partnership Jokes about his own chaos running Robin's Café – late nights, leftover wine, cold quinoa Asks Shannon directly: "Do you still follow Kevan's lead?" Shannon's laughs and agrees they're both very regulated people But adds that it comes from learned coping mechanisms Says they've both developed pro-social ways to handle stress People-pleasing Overachievement Perfectionism Intellectualizing feelings instead of expressing them "Those are coping mechanisms too," she notes, "but at least they keep us calm when we talk." Building Trust and Partnership (14:54–23:15) Shannon says both she and Kevan have done deep personal work. Therapy, reflection, and self-inquiry are part of their toolkit. That helps them handle a relationship that's both intimate and challenging. They know their own baggage. They try not to take the other person's reactions personally. It doesn't always work—but they trust they'll work through conflict. When they started Bonfire: They agreed the business world is unpredictable. So they made a pinky swear: Friends first, business second. The friendship is the real priority. When conflict comes up, they ask: "Is this really life or death—or are we just forgetting what matters?" Shannon goes back to the question and clarifies Says they lead in different ways. Each has their "zone of genius." They depend on each other's strengths. It's not leader and follower – it's mutual reliance. Shannon explains: Kevan's great at momentum: He moves things forward and ships projects fast. Shannon tends to be more perfectionist: Wants things to be fully formed before releasing. Kevan adds they talk often about "rally and rest." Kevan rallies, he thrives on pressure and urgency. Shannon rests, she values slowing down and reflection. Together, that creates a healthy rhythm. Robin notes lingering habits Wonders if any "hangovers" from their Oyster days remain. Kevan reflects At first, he hesitated to show weakness. Coming from a manager role, vulnerability felt risky. Shannon quickly saw through it. He realized openness was essential, not optional. Says their friendship and business both rely on honesty. Robin agrees and says he wouldn't discourage co-founders—it's just a big decision. Like choosing a spouse, it shapes your life for years. Notes he's never met with one of them without the other. "That says something," he adds. Their partnership clearly works—even if it takes twice the time. Rethinking Marketing (23:19) Kevan's light moment: Asks if Robin's comment about their teamwork was feedback for them. Robin's observation Notes how in sync Shannon and Kevan are. Emails one, gets a reply CC'd with the other. Says the tempo of Bonfire feels like their collaboration itself. Wonders what that rhythm feels like internally. Kevan's response Says it's partly intentional, partly habit. They genuinely enjoy working together. Adds they don't chase traditional agency milestones. No interest in Ad Age lists or Cannes awards. Their goal: have fun and make meaningful work. Robin pivots to the state of marketing (24:04) Mentions the shift from Madison Avenue's glory days to today's tech-driven world. Refers to Mad Men and the "growth at all costs" startup era. Notes how AI and tech are changing how people see their role in work and life. Kevan's background Came from startups, not agencies. Learned through doing, not an MBA. Immersed in books like Hypergrowth and Traction. Took Reforge courses—knows the mechanics of scaling. Before that, worked as a journalist. Gained curiosity and calm under pressure, but also urgency. Admits startup life taught him both good and bad habits. Robin notes Neither lives the Madison Avenue life. Kevan's in Boise. Shannon's in France. Shannon's background Started in theater – behind the scenes as a dramaturg and producer. Learned how to shape emotion and tell stories. Transitioned into brand strategy in New York. Worked at a top agency, Siegel+Gale. Helped global B2B and B2C clients define mission, values, and design. Competed with big names like Interbrand and Pentagram. Later moved in-house at tech startups. Saw how B2B marketing often tries to "act cool" like B2C. Learned to translate creative ideas into language that convinces CFOs. Says her role often meant selling authentic storytelling to risk-averse execs. Admits she joined marketing out of necessity. "I was 27, broke in New York, and needed a parking spot for my storytelling skills." Robin connects the dots Notes how Silicon Valley's "growth" culture mirrors old ad-world burnout. Growth at all costs. Not much room for creative autonomy. Adds most big agencies are now owned by holding companies. The original Madison Avenue independence is nearly gone. Robin's reflection Mentions how AI-generated content is changing video and storytelling. Grateful his clients still value human connection. Asks how Bonfire helps brands tell authentic stories now that the old model is fading. Kevan's take Says people now care less about "moments" and more about audiences. It's not about one viral hit—it's about building consistency. Brands need to stand for something, and keep showing up. People want that outcome, even if they don't want the hard work behind it. Shannon adds Notes rising skepticism among audiences. Most content people see isn't from who they follow, it's ads and algorithms. Consumers are subconsciously filtering out the noise. Says that's why human storytelling matters more than ever. People crave knowing a real person is behind the message. AI can mimic tone but not authenticity. Adds it's hard to convince some clients of that. Authentic work isn't fast or easily measured. It requires belief in the process and a value system to match. That's tough when your client's investors only want quick returns. Robin agrees "Look at people's incentives and I'll tell you who they are." Shannon continues Wonders where their responsibility ends. Should they convince people of their values? Or just do the work and let the right clients come? Kevan says they've found a sweet spot with current clients. Mostly bootstrapped founders. Work with them long-term instead of one-off projects. Says that's the recipe that fits Bonfire's values and actually works. The Quarter Analogy (35:36) Robin quotes BJ Fogg: "Don't try to persuade people of your worldview. Look for people who already want what you can teach, and just show them how." He compares arguing with people who don't align to "an acrobat arguing with gravity – gravity will win 100% of the time." The key: harness momentum instead of fighting resistance. Even a small, aligned audience is better than chasing everyone. Kevan shares Bonfire's failed experiment with outbound sales: They tried reaching out to recently funded AI companies. "It got us nowhere," he admits. That experience reminded him how much old startup habits – growth at all costs, scale fast – still shape thinking. "I thought success meant getting as big as possible, as fast as possible. That meant doing outbound, even if it felt inauthentic." But that mindset just added pressure. Realizing there were other ways to grow – slower, more intentional – was a relief. Now they've stopped outbound entirely. Focused instead on aligned clients who find them naturally. Robin connects it to a MrBeast quote. "If I'm not ashamed of the video I put out last week, I'm not growing fast enough." He says he doesn't love the "shame" part but relates to the evolution mindset – Looking back at work from six months ago and thinking, I'd do that differently now. Growth as a visible, measurable journey. Robin shifts to storytelling frameworks: Mentions Kevan and Shannon's analogies about storytelling and asks about "the quarter analogy." Kevan explains the "quarter" story: A professor holds up two quarters: "Sell me the one on the right." No one can – until someone says, "I'll dip it in Marilyn Monroe's purse." That coin now has emotional and cultural value. Marketing can be the same – alchemy that turns something ordinary into something meaningful. Robin builds on that: You can tell stories about a coin's history – "Lincoln touched it," etc. But Kevan's version is different: adding new meaning in the present. "How do you imbue something with value now that makes it matter later?" Shannon's take: It's about values and belonging. "Every story implicitly says: believe this." That belief also says: we don't believe that – defining who's in your tribe. Humans crave that – community, validation, connection. That belonging is intangible but real. "Try selling that to a CFO who just wants ROI. Impossible — but it's real." Kevan adds: Values are one piece – authenticity is another. Some brands already have a genuine story; others want to create one. "We get asked to dip AI companies into Marilyn Monroe's purse," he jokes. The real work is uncovering what's true or helping brands rediscover it. The challenge: telling that story consistently and believably. Robin mentions Shannon's storytelling framework of three parts – Purpose → Story frameworks → Touch points. Shannon breaks it down: Clients usually come in with half-baked "mission" or "vision" statements. She uses Ogilvy's "Big Ideal" model: Combine a cultural tension (what's happening in the world) with your brand's best self. Then fill in the blank: "We believe the world would be a better place if…" That single sentence surfaces a company's "why us" and "why now." It's dramaturgy, really — same question as in theater: "Why this play now?" "Why us?" Bonfire's own version (in progress): "We believe the world would be a better place if people and brands had more room to explore their creativity." Kevan adds: it's evolving, like them. Robin relates it back to his own story: After selling Robin's Café, he started Zander Media to tell human stories. He wanted to document real connections — "the barista-customer relationships, the neighborhood changing." That became his north star: storytelling as a tool for change and human connection. "I don't care about video," he says. "I care about storytelling, helping people become more of who they want to be." Kevan closes the loop: A good purpose statement is expansive. It can hold video, podcasts, even a publishing house. "Maybe tomorrow it's something else. That's the beauty — it allows room to grow." Against the Broetry (49:01) Kevan reflects on transparency and values at Bonfire He and Robin came from Buffer, a company known for radical transparency — posting salaries, growth numbers, everything. Says that while Bonfire isn't as extreme about it, the spirit is the same. "It just comes naturally to invite people in." Their openness isn't a tactic – it's aligned with their values and mission. They want to create space for people to explore – new ideas, new ways of working, more fulfilling lives. Sharing their journey publicly felt like the obvious, authentic thing to do. "It wasn't even a conversation – just who we are." Shannon jumps in with a critique of business culture online Says there's so much terrible advice about "how to build a business." Compliments Robin for cutting through the noise – being honest through Snafu and his newsletter. "You're trying to be real about what selling feels like and what it says about you." Calls out the "rise and grind" nonsense dominating LinkedIn: "Wake up at 4 a.m., protein shake at 4:10, three-hour workout…" Robin laughs – "I'll take the three-hour workout, but I'll pass on the protein shake." Shannon and Kevan call it "broetry" The overblown, performative business storytelling on social media. "I went on my honeymoon and here's what I learned about B2B sales." Their goal with building in public is the opposite: To admit mistakes. To share pivots and moments of doubt. To remind people that everyone is figuring it out. "But the system rewards the opposite – gatekeeping, pretending, keeping up the facade." Shannon says she has "no patience for it." She traces that belief back to a story from college Producer Paula Wagner once told her class: "Here's the secret: nobody knows anything." That line stuck with her. Gave her permission to question authority. To show up confidently even when others pretend to know more. After years of watching powerful men "fail upward," she realized: "The emperor has no clothes." So she might as well take up space too. Transparency, for her, is a form of connection and courage – "When people raise their eyes from their desks and actually meet each other, that's power." Robin thanks Shannon for the kind words about Snafu. Says their work naturally attracts people who want that kind of realness. Then pivots to a closing question: "If you had one piece of advice for founders – about storytelling or business building – what would it be?" Kevan's advice: "Look beyond what's around you." Inspiration doesn't have to come from your industry. Learn from other fields, other stories, other worlds. It builds curiosity, empathy, and creativity. Robin sums it up: "Get out of your silos." Shannon's advice: "Make the thing you actually want to see." Too many founders copy what's trendy or "smart." Ask instead: What would I genuinely love to consume? Remember your audience is human, like you. And remember, building a business is a privilege. You get to create a small world that reflects your values. You get to hire people, pay them, shape a culture. "That's so cool, and it should make you feel powerful." With that power comes responsibility. "Everyone says it's about making the most money. But what if the goal was to make the coolest world possible, for as many people as possible?" Where to find Kevan and Shannon (57:16) Points listeners to aroundthebonfire.com/experiences.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.It has been a news-packed few days for Mr. Beast, and if you are following the highs, the drama, and the ambition, you're in the right place. I just dropped what might be my most personally revealing viral video yet, with YouTube buzzing over me reacting to a time-capsule message I filmed for myself at age 17. Back then, I had only 8,000 subscribers and I wondered if I'd hit one million by 2025 or be, in my words, “a loser.” Fast forward, and as Business Insider and others report, I addressed my younger self and talked about how “YouTube runs in my veins,” crediting sheer stubbornness for powering me through when no one believed the dream. Social media has been on fire, with fans sharing clips and doubling down on praise for sticking with the journey.But the last twenty-four hours have also seen a wave of mainstream headlines around my recent warnings about the future of online creators. As reported by Business Today and echoed by Storyboard18, I've been vocal on X expressing genuine fear about how AI tools like OpenAI's Sora will impact creator livelihoods. I called these “scary times for YouTube,” pointing out that when AI-generated videos are indistinguishable from real ones, the entire industry could be upended almost overnight. This isn't just personal anxiety—it's sparked a broader debate and tons of discussion in the creator economy over where original content goes from here.On the business front, Bloomberg just broke the story that Beast Industries—the empire I've been building—is now laying plans for a full-blown entertainment conglomerate, with no less than a real theme park in the works. The vision? Something to rival Disney. And that's just the start: we're already planning a “cinematic universe” and large-scale entertainment ventures, with me as the face of the brand. In parallel, Fortune and Business Insider report I've filed trademark applications to launch a MrBeast-branded mobile phone service by 2026, aiming for a disruptive Mint Mobile-style offering.Of course, controversy isn't far away. Malay Mail and IBTimes picked up my latest viral stunt where stuntman Eric had to escape from a burning house for a shot at half a million dollars. This video triggered an ethics debate across YouTube and Twitter, with some fans thrilled, but critics raising concerns about pushing the limits of spectacle in the name of entertainment.Meanwhile, philanthropy remains core. I smashed the 40 million dollar fundraising goal with #TeamWater, announced on YouTube and echoed across global media, to bring clean water to two million people. The outpouring of global support and viral celebration on social media has reminded everyone why giving back is still at the heart of everything.Just last week, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that I'll be honored at Operation Smile's New York gala with the Cotto Changemaker Award for my advocacy work, though I'll be joining virtually. It's been a whirlwind of business deals, headline-making stunts, and social commentary, all signaling another transformative period—not only for my brand, but for the creator world at large.Thanks for listening to the latest on Mr. Beast—subscribe now to never miss an update on the world's most-watched YouTuber, and if you want more great Biographies, search the term Biography Flash.And that is it for today.

[School of Movies 2025] In an unprecedented show-type for us, what we have here began life as an After School Club commission by Tylor Long. Before it could be released it got upgraded to become a full Main Event show after this wonderful, darkly-funny, warm-hearted ghost story got included in our Discord Halloween watch-along. The premise is familiarly bureaucratic, and simple enough for little kids to understand; In the afterlife ghosts must work to scare the living in order to be remembered. The results are what feels like the Taiwanese Beetlejuice, utilising the trappings of horror movies without ever actually being scary. It also seems to have a hell of a lot of things to say about the attention economy in a world where MrBeast is the highest aspirational figure for so many young people. What Dead Talents Society hints at is that there's so much more to existence than just being talked about by strangers. Released straight to streaming in 2024, this movie is ironically virtually unseen and unheard of, but you should absolutely listen to this show and track this film down. It's going right at the top of our films of the year list.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the latest headline-grabbing moves, MrBeast—known to his fans as Jimmy Donaldson—has again proven his unique ability to dominate both online discourse and major business news. Just in the past few days, speculation erupted around MrBeast's possible involvement in a blockbuster offer to buy TikTok's US operations after the federal ban was temporarily paused. The initial rumors exploded after he teased a willingness to “buy TikTok so it doesn't get banned” on X and Recruiter dot com Ventures CEO Jesse Tinsley publicly claimed MrBeast was part of an investor group submitting an all-cash offer. But according to The Associated Press, his spokesperson denied any official involvement, so the possibility of him stepping into the TikTok fray, while sensational, remains unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation for now.On the business side, MrBeast's giant legal fight with the parent company of MrBeast Burger remains one of the most consequential chapters for the influencer-turned-entrepreneur. Nation's Restaurant News reports that Donaldson is seeking to formally end his partnership with Virtual Dining Concepts, alleging that “disgusting,” “inedible” food and poor quality control have caused irreversible harm to his brand. He accuses the company of using his trademark and likeness without consent and is seeking damages as well as the legal right to terminate the business. Virtual Dining Concepts struck back, calling the suit “misguided” and “bullying,” further fueling this high-stakes business drama with reputational stakes that could shape how creator-led brands partner with large food service operators in the future.In the creator space, MrBeast has been vocally anxious about the rise of AI-generated video content. This week, both Fortune and the Times of India highlighted Donaldson's public warnings that advances in generative AI tools like Sora could make it hard for human creators to compete, calling these “scary times” for millions whose livelihoods depend on producing original content. He's no stranger to controversy in this arena, having previously launched and quickly pulled an AI thumbnail generator following backlash from artists and fans, reinforcing his complicated relationship with AI in the creator economy.Social media coverage of MrBeast has been intense, with his recent posts about AI and TikTok trending widely across X and news headlines. He's been quieter on major new content releases these last few days, but the conversation swirling around his business moves and public warnings about technology's impact is dominating both entertainment and tech circles right now.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, known globally as MrBeast, continues to dominate headlines and define digital culture as the world's top YouTuber and a relentless entrepreneur. Over the past few days, he's again shown why he's such a biographical heavyweight: According to Fortune, he recently opened up about the crushing grind of running his $85 million YouTube empire with more than 370 million subscribers. In an unusually candid conversation on The Diary of a CEO podcast, he revealed that his daily life is a punishing marathon of work, so relentless that he feels more “unhappy than happy” in 2025. Donaldson confessed that he struggles to find time for basic leisure activities and compared the CEO life to being a “zoo animal,” locked into obligations and schedules, but also described this discipline as the price of changing the world.Meanwhile, the financial velocity of his operation only intensifies. Times of India reports his estimated net worth on paper at $2.65 billion in 2025, with an eye-popping $50 million in monthly earnings spanning YouTube, sponsorships, Feastables chocolate, MrBeast Burger, and other ventures. His new packaged food brand, Lunchly, continues to expand, while Feastables recently celebrated a $60 million Series A financing round, further strengthening his grip on the intersection of YouTube and consumer products.On the personal side, Donaldson is now engaged to fellow content creator Thea Booysen, with their relationship first igniting in 2022 and culminating in his proposal last Christmas. His engagement sparked substantial buzz on Instagram and across entertainment outlets, and he is credited with transforming his health journey, inspiring fans with a viral lifestyle and fitness overhaul after publicly battling Crohn's disease.MrBeast's relationship with the platform that made him famous is also evolving. Economic Times notes that YouTube CEO Neal Mohan gave Donaldson a never-before-seen “400 Million Subscribers” trophy to honor his record-shattering milestone, though the award itself drew mixed reactions across Reddit and X—some loved the acknowledgment, while others panned the trophy as uninspired.Social media has been fiery as well. According to Times of India Tech News, MrBeast took to X to issue a pointed warning about the existential threat of AI-generated content to independent creators, reigniting debate in the creator community only months after he faced backlash for launching—and then retracting—an AI thumbnail tool. Donaldson's advocacy for a human-driven creator economy set off spirited conversations among fans, artists, and rival influencers.Speculation continues, with The National News Desk reigniting rumors of MrBeast as a potential buyer in the ongoing saga surrounding a possible TikTok sale to US interests—though there is no reliable confirmation of Donaldson being in serious negotiations at this time.That's the whirlwind of MrBeast news for this edition.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has set the internet ablaze in the past few days with his most audacious pivot yet. On October 13, Beast Holdings, his business entity, filed a U.S. trademark application for “MrBeast Financial,” as reported by NBC News and CoinDesk. The trademark details point to a full-stack fintech play, with plans for mobile banking, savings, lending, debit and credit functionality, insurance, and even cryptocurrency exchange services. The investor materials referenced by Business Insider suggest this is not a simple brand partnership but a move to install MrBeast as a dominant player in the financial lives of Gen Z. NBC News confirmed the filings through MrBeast's reps, though they declined to elaborate on launch details.The filings outline downloadable software for short-term cash advances, investment management, and even decentralized crypto trading, echoing ideas of turning his vast 447 million YouTube subscribers into neobank customers. The broader implications were dissected by Global Fintech Insider, which noted not only the direct-to-consumer ambitions but also pointed out MrBeast's prior investments in fintech startups like teen-friendly neobank Current and NFT platform Refinable. He's no stranger to crypto and has previously stated he holds Bitcoin and dabbles in NFTs, further linking this new venture to his digital-native reputation.According to ClickAnalytic, MrBeast's genius here lies in engaging a Gen Z audience that trusts creators over institutions. If successful, this could redraw the lines of financial engagement for millions, making finance as social and gamified as his famous YouTube challenges. Banks and regulators are already watching closely, recognizing this as a potential paradigm shift if “MrBeast Financial” materializes. Risks remain high: federal licensing, regulatory hurdles, and the uncertainty that always follows untested creator-led ecosystems.On social media, speculation ran wild within hours of the news breaking: fans buzzed about challenge-based savings accounts and charitable gaming incentives. Industry forums debated whether this could be the future for creator economies, while some skeptics reminded everyone of the regulatory scrutiny intrinsic to banking and crypto. For now, details like a launch date or confirmed fintech partners remain under wraps. What's clear is that trademark filings suggest very real intent—even if a formal bank launch could still be months or even years away.Meanwhile, MrBeast's primary content channels remain active, with his engagement announcement to Thea Booysen from earlier this year still drawing attention. Optimistic posts on Twitter and Instagram over the past two days highlighted his ongoing philanthropic work, including new initiatives hinted at under “Beast Philanthropy.”All eyes are now on regulatory filings, social media teasers, and whether other creators will follow suit. For a man whose last reality series debuted on Amazon Prime with a $5 million prize, betting against him feels unwise. That is the MrBeast update for today.

Just in time for Halloween, we're hosting a virtual hauntology reading group (specifically, hauntology the music genre) at 4pm ET next Thursday, October 30. If you want to join in, sign up for a paid subscription, or toss a few bucks into our haunted tip jar, and we'll send you the readings and a link to log into the conversation. We hope it'll be the first of more group reading sessions to come.We spend a lot of time here talking about the structural forces that turned pop culture into an endless churn of sequels, remakes, and nostalgia plays. But what if the blame for our current “creative recession” lies on more than just economics or platforms? What if our cultural values themselves have shifted in ways that make true innovation harder to sustain?That's the focus of Blank Space: A Cultural History of the Twenty-First Century, the forthcoming book from Tokyo-based culture critic W. David Marx—and probably the first major exhaustive account of the last 25 years in music, film/TV, internet culture, and fashion. He doesn't just look at the technological, political, and economic forces that that created a winner-take-all landscape where billionaires and centi-millionaires like Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Paris Hilton, MrBeast, Jay-Z and frankly Donald Trump took up all of the cultural oxygen in the room, making it harder and harder for the next generation of innovators to break through. He zeroes in on the cultural attitudes that have led us here—and that set us apart from our 20th-century forebears—including poptimism, the valorization of entrepreneurial heroism, cultural omnivorism, and more.In addition to Blank Space, David the author of the mega-influential books Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change and Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style. He joins us to talk about the mind-boggling task of summing up the past quarter-century of culture, and why most of the coolest, most innovative outputs ended up getting pushed to the margins. We also get into what originality means in a climate of constant churn, and why he believes that fighting for it is still important, even in a postmodern landscape where “everything has already been done.”Finally, David makes the case that building a healthier cultural ecosystem starts with changing our cultural attitudes. That means embracing and reinforcing social norms that have fallen to the wayside in the past quarter century, like normalizing giving credit to smaller artists, learning the canon so we can break it, and yes, making it lame to sell out again.Pre-order Blank Space, which is out November 18 via Penguin Random House.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has been making waves across multiple fronts this past week, signaling a dramatic expansion of his empire beyond YouTube entertainment. The biggest story comes from Hypebeast and CoinDesk reporting that his company Beast Holdings filed a trademark application on October 13th for "MrBeast Financial," a comprehensive fintech platform that could fundamentally reshape how his massive young audience interacts with money. According to the trademark filing covered by multiple outlets, this isn't just a simple banking app. The platform plans to offer online banking, cryptocurrency exchange and payment processing, short-term cash advances, investment advisory services, and even trading through decentralized exchanges. Business Insider notes this is an unusual move for a creator given the regulatory complexities and reputational risks involved when people's money is on the line, though MrBeast has dabbled in fintech before through a 2024 partnership with MoneyLion for a four point two million dollar giveaway.Meanwhile, MrBeast broke the internet in a completely different way on October 16th at the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to reports from Hindustan Times and MensXP, he posed for a viral photo with Bollywood's legendary trio of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. He shared the image on his Instagram story with the caption "Hey India, should we all do something together?" sparking immediate speculation about a potential collaboration. The three Khans are rarely photographed together despite their decades-long dominance of Indian cinema, making this moment particularly significant.On the more playful side, Dexerto reported that MrBeast responded to a TikTok user who admitted following him solely for potential rewards. The video went viral with thirty three point eight million views, catching Donaldson's attention. He filmed a response claiming he sent the user ten thousand dollars, staying true to his reputation as social media's biggest spender.These developments paint a picture of a creator rapidly diversifying his empire, following successful launches of Feastables and Beast Burgers, while maintaining his signature generous persona online.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Mr Beast Biography Flash.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !“J'ai un accès illimité à toutes les grandes pyramides du monde !” C'est ce que j'aimerais vous dire, mais malheureusement je ne suis pas MrBeast - le plus gros vidéaste de YouTube ! En février et en mai 2025, il a sorti deux vidéos d'un genre totalement nouveau : rester plus de 100h sur un site historique emblématique. La première dans les pyramides d'Égypte et la seconde dans les temples du Mexique. Ces deux vidéos ont cumulées plus de 300 MILLIONS de vues en moins d'un an. Mais évidemment, tout ça a aussi déclenché son lot de polémiques : pour certains, ça serait un manque de respect de faire des vidéos funs avec des mises en scène testostéronées dans ces lieux protégés, héritage mondial de nos ancêtres, auxquels personne n'a accès ! Mais du coup, cela pose quelques questions : qui a le droit d'entrer dans ces lieux ? Pourquoi eux et pas nous, ou au moins des gens plus justifiés à nos yeux, plus sérieux peut-être ? Et le débat plus philosophique : jusqu'où peut-on transformer le patrimoine en décor de show sans dénaturer ce qu'il représente vraiment ?Bonne écoute !➤ Un grand merci à Cécilie de Saint Venant pour avoir accepté de répondre à mes questions ! Elle est responsable des tournages au château de Chambord, où une collecte de dons est actuellement en cours pour sauver l'aile François Ier : https://collecte.chambord.org/

What started as a simple series of dance photography videos turned into a global family brand with more than 300 million monthly views—and now, a Sephora skincare line that drew an unbelievable 87,000 fans to its launch.Jordan opens up about his journey from photographing dancers in New York to building a thriving father-daughter YouTube channel with his daughter Salish, how they created an authentic bond with Gen Alpha viewers, and the lessons learned from turning that trust into a real-world business. He also reflects on the emotional chaos of their record-breaking Sephora event, balancing parenthood with content creation, and why he believes authenticity—not virality—is the real currency of influence.
