MrBeast: 'I Obsess Every Second of Every Day Until I Have a Mental Breakdown' - With Hasan Minhaj

**Jimmy Donaldson** (0:00)
All right, there's this amazing book called Getting Everything You Can Out Of All You've Got. I read it a few years ago and it changed my life.
And the reason I loved it was because it basically talks about how to get and make more money using things that you already have.
Coincidentally, today's podcast is brought to you by Business Made Simple. It's a podcast by Donald Miller, who I'm gonna tell you about in a second, but he has this amazing episode that's all related to this book and the things that I learned in this book. It's called How To Make Money With What You Already Have. It's an incredible episode. It talks about all the stuff that I learned in this book. The host is Donald Miller. I didn't know who Donald Miller was up until recently, but over the last 12 months, this is totally by coincidence. It was all separate people. They said, you have to check out Donald Miller. He's amazing. So I'm happy that he's part of HubSpot's podcast network. You can check it out, Business Made Simple Podcast. It's where he coaches you on how to build your business like an airplane, where the cockpit is your leadership, the body is your overhead, the right engine is your marketing, the left engine is your sales.
You have to check it out. This guy's amazing. It's called Business Made Simple with Donald Miller.
The way I like to work is like, I like to go basically wake up, obsess over something, go to bed, wake up, obsess, go to bed like every second of the day until I just have a mental breakdown, I burn out, and then I like take a day off or maybe a day and a half off. And I like to go right back to it. So I don't like work certain days. I just go as hard as I can every ounce of my entire body until I just crash.

**Shaan Puri** (1:29)
All right, in this episode, we are gonna talk about-

**Jimmy Donaldson** (1:31)
Wait, one second.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:32)
Look, we gotta let the guy, MrBeast, actually do the intro.

**Jimmy Donaldson** (1:35)
Guys, in this, we're gonna teach you how to make a fucking million dollars. If you don't have a million dollars, we're gonna show you in this podcast.

**Shaan Puri** (1:41)
All right, that was way better than us. Yeah, that's right. MrBeast, the biggest YouTuber in the world, joined us on My First Million, and Hasan Minhaj, one of the biggest comedians in the world. We did a four-person pod in person. This is kind of amazing.

**Jimmy Donaldson** (1:51)
Yeah, so look, check this out. I think John actually mentioned this on the podcast, but about three, four weeks ago, he said he's gonna create this thing called Camp MFM.
So basically, he rented a house, a big old mansion in North Carolina, and he DM'd like 20 different people, bunch of different founders and a bunch of interesting people. But then he also DM'd MrBeast and Hasan, and he told them to come. I didn't actually think they were gonna show up. And so we were just sitting here at night recording a podcast, and they walked in and joined us, and it was amazing.

**Shaan Puri** (2:18)
Yeah, it was crazy. Seeing one of the biggest YouTubers in the world, one of the biggest comedians in the world, they kind of interviewed each other, and they talked about their creative process, what they're self-conscious of, what it's like to work for them, how much they put into each thing that they do.
It was pretty nuts.

**Jimmy Donaldson** (2:32)
Yeah, it was, I mean, it was amazing. They made fun of me at first, cause I was nervous, and I was, it was awesome.

**Shaan Puri** (2:38)
Yeah, it was a big deal, it was awesome.

**Jimmy Donaldson** (2:40)
So check it out, I think you're gonna dig it. Wait, hold on, are we rolling?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:43)
We're rolling.

**Shaan Puri** (2:43)
All right, we're live?

**Jimmy Donaldson** (2:44)
We're doing it. If it's not recording, you're just not getting it.

**Hasan Minhaj** (2:46)
Yeah, you're not getting it, dude.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:49)
All right, we're live.

**Jimmy Donaldson** (2:49)
Wait, what were you saying?

**Hasan Minhaj** (2:50)
This is the most interesting crossover ever.

**Jimmy Donaldson** (2:53)
Yes. Why are the four of us sitting here?

**Hasan Minhaj** (2:55)
I have no idea.

**Jimmy Donaldson** (2:56)
It's just him on the spot. It seems the most nervous.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:58)
Me?

**Shaan Puri** (3:00)
No, he's like the body language doctor. You read body language good, right?

**SPEAKER_2** (3:05)
It's because I'm wearing these shorts.
