Girl Lily Singh and today's video is all about watching videos. Man, I can watch videos all day. You know, I say just one, but then I'm watching video after video. There is a video on the side, and I click that one, click, click, click, click, click. I am like a kid in a candy shop. I'm in my dark place. No, let me do it, let me do it. It's time to get motivated. How's your investment portfolio going? What about your side hustle? You do have a side hustle, right? At least tell me you shave your balls. God, do not intend to interrupt, but let me introduce myself. I am the superman ready to make you SM on behalf of pep talk with the help of my narrators. Without any further ado, let's begin your journey of financial freedom with the help of these incredible stories.
Let's talk about a guy who decided college wasn't for him and turned a love for gaming into a multi-million dollar empire. This is the story of Mr. Beast, AKA Jimmy Donaldson. Jimmy was just a regular dude who loved video games. He started uploading videos to YouTube, but something wasn't clicking. He knew he had to switch things up. Then came the pivotal moment, the aha moment that changed everything. Jimmy decided to flip the script. He basically talked every day for a thousand days in a row and did nothing but hyper-study what makes a good video, what makes a good thumbnail, what's good pacing, and how to go viral.
"We would just get on Skype every morning, and some days I'd get on Skype at 7:00 a.m. and be in the call until 10:00 p.m. Then I'd go to bed, wake up, and do it again. We'd do things like take a thousand thumbnails and see if there's a correlation to the brightness of the thumbnail to how many views it got." Instead of just playing games, he started doing these crazy over-the-top challenges and stunts, like counting to 100,000 or filling a pool and an entire backyard with 100 million Orbeez. People went wild. But Mr. Beast didn't stop there. He took it up a notch, investing in high-quality production, making his videos look like Hollywood blockbusters. He assembled a crew of friends, his own squad of awesome, to help him pull off these insane challenges. With each video, his audience grew bigger and bigger.
But here's the thing that truly sets Mr. Beast apart: his generosity. He started incorporating philanthropy into his videos, giving away thousands, even millions of dollars to random people and supporting charities close to his heart. He understood the power of community and giving back, and his fans loved him for it. Today, Mr. Beast is one of the biggest YouTubers on the planet, with a net worth of over $54 million. He's living proof that with passion, creativity, and a little bit of crazy, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Now, let's talk about a woman who used her voice to inspire millions and built an empire by being unapologetically herself. This is the story of Lily Singh, also known as Superwoman. Lily was at a crossroads. She was studying psychology, working part-time jobs, and battling depression. She felt lost, like she wasn't living her truth. But deep down, she had this burning desire to create, to make people laugh, and to share her story. So she turned to YouTube. She started making videos, embracing her Indian heritage, talking about her struggles, and spreading a message of positivity and self-love.
Her humor was relatable, her vulnerability was inspiring, and people connected with her authenticity. Lily wasn't afraid to be different. She embraced her culture, her quirks, her unique perspective, and that's what made her stand out. "YouTube was kind of the first thing I discovered that eliminated the gatekeeper. It was like anyone could just upload a video, and anyone could watch that video. No one was approving it, no one said that you have to speak like this or use these talking points.
Embrace your true self, break the rules, and chase your dreams—authenticity leads to extraordinary success.

Who hasn't heard of PewDiePie? This guy went from playing video games in his bedroom to becoming one of the most influential YouTubers of all time. But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows at first. Felix Kjellberg, the man behind the PewDiePie persona, was studying industrial economics but felt unfulfilled. He knew he was meant for something more, something creative, something that would allow him to connect with others. So he took a leap of faith and started uploading videos of himself playing video games and sharing his hilarious, unfiltered commentary. What set PewDiePie apart was his genuine personality. He wasn't afraid to be goofy, to make mistakes, to be himself, and that resonated with millions of viewers. Reflecting on his journey, he said, "I was just doing YouTube, hoping and praying because it wasn't even a job back then really for gaming channels at least, that maybe it would work out." He expressed gratitude to his fans, saying, "I just wanted to really say thank you for that, for making that possible." PewDiePie understood the power of community. He actively engaged with his fans, responding to comments, hosting live streams, and creating a sense of belonging within his channel. He built a loyal following of Bro Army members who weren't just viewers; they were active participants in his online world. Today, PewDiePie remains a YouTube giant with a massive following and a legacy that has shaped the platform. His story teaches us the importance of authenticity, building a strong community, and staying true to yourself even when the whole world is watching.
Mark Manson, the anti-guru who cracked the code of authenticity, is another inspiring figure. He graduated from Boston University and landed a job at an investment bank, but he was miserable. He knew the corporate world wasn't for him, so he quit after just three weeks. He observed that a few generations ago, the obsessive focus on getting ahead in the world and buying things had a lot of meaning tied to it. For example, if your grandfather could work hard enough to buy a car, it completely changed the lives of his entire family. Mark started a blog on dating relationships, which eventually led to his success as a best-selling author.

This dude right here, Gary Vaynerchuk, is like the hustling embodiment of the American dream. He took his family's wine business and turned it into a multi-million dollar empire, all while becoming a social media legend. "I started out working in my family's liquor store, but I had bigger dreams. I saw the potential of the internet early on, way before most people even knew what it was. I knew this thing called e-commerce was about to explode, so I took my family business online and watched it skyrocket," Gary explained.
So many people are keyboard activists, good at sending a tweet about how the world should be, but nobody's doing anything about it. That is just very much human nature. But Gary didn't stop there. He understood that in the digital age, building a personal brand was everything. He started sharing his knowledge about wine, business, and marketing on this little platform called YouTube, and people went crazy for his raw, energetic, and often hilarious rants.
