Jesse and I are the same age I was one of those 1000 people watching the 2k14 videos and grew with him and even if his content changed more for kids and I don’t watch all his videos anymore I still watch the ones that interest me and I’m so proud of how far he has come
Hey Colin & Samir! There is this KZreadr Luke from the KZread channel, Outdoor Boys. His Chanel is really interesting - no crazy editing - at least 30 minutes per video - comments are off - has no brand deals - no collabs - doesn’t use his social media to pump out his video - get 3-5 million views in a couple of days - only uploads every 2 weeks I would love a breakdown of his YT Channel. If guys could make this happen 🙏

brother what about YOUR journey? The old MCPE community was HYPE. I remember when 0.9.0 was out and everyone was wondering if it was gonna jump to 1.0.0 or 1.10 and I actually distinctly remember watching your tutorial on how to get colored text.

jesser has been around for almost a decade, he started out doing basketball video game videos.
Been watching Jesser for so long. Excited to listen
I've been watching Jesse since I was in 8th grade if someone told me where he'd be now I'd be flabbergasted so proud of him & S/O to y Colin & Samir for getting such incredible guests on to discuss the "Creator Economy" this channel and Cleo Abram have become favourites of mine
been following jesser forever very cool
been watching Jesse since he was a kid screaming in his room to 2k packs and I can't believe how far he's come
I love how Colin and Samir constantly bring these creators to their platform and have the most interesting conversations. Colin and Samir is the only channel where I stop everything that I’m doing to watch their new episode :D
Hope this video blows up more asap, have no idea how it isn’t - super insightful to hear the journey from dropping doing too much at once to focus, living with other creators, analytics- his story somehow sounded like so many good points heard from other interviews wrapped in one!🔥
what Jesser is describing when talking about the future of watching sports is akin to costreaming in the live streaming space. So interesting to hear that costreaming is going on in the NBA now too
been watching jesser since he was at 30k and i was 12... and now I'm working with him, crazy
It’s interesting to see how much I am involved and invested in so many creators but don’t see all the creators and don’t know about them and then Colin and Samir brings them to their show and I get so invested in these creators and they creator journey .
Great video! As a 2K KZreadr myself this is awesome to see

Danny I would like to make 2k vids do you have advice?
This was good!!! Love when you break down a creators business. I might try to make the NBA tour traveling business. I think there is something there if you incorporate various elements like time on the floor a player appearance and maybe a experience selected by a player on the team to enjoy while in the town as a group like a fav restaurant or something. Great conversation.
"Courios enough to click" perfect example of what a title should be like for new viewers to click.
I’m surprised you guys don’t know Jessie, mans been around for YEARS. Also had that big deal with 100 thieves in case you didn’t know him before that.
he seems very friendly 🎉
I remember the chino hill vlogs. Love seeing how big Jesser got. Hard work has paid off and continues to 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Colin and Samir This Was a BANGeR !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jesser is your next door neighbor running for President. At least that's how first impressions go on this channel.
I remember watching from all of those 2K videos when I was younger from Jesser. I don’t watch him anymore, but it’s just crazy to see where he is now
NO WAYYYYY LETS GO
I've always felt inspired by jessers content and his reasoning for making. always wanted to be a KZreadr as well but live in a poor community and can't get the right technology for editing and recording for good content. It is what it is but Jesser has always inspired me and I've always looked up to him.
I have been watching him since his early 2k days it is crazy to see where he is came
This Interview Was Tufff and Insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The episode I've been waiting for
How nice to have such a leg up as a kid. How nice indeed...
love jesser and loved this episode 🙌🏾
love that he shouts out paddy. can’t recommend his coaching enough
I actually just tried title exploder and its f'n sick!
Jesse is one of the realest ones and has been innovative from the start. He's helped a ton of people and always remained humble. I will always enjoy seeing him at the top!
Awesome video Colin and Samir!
I have been a fan of jesser since I was a kid. Super cool interview
No cap, Colin & Samir are the KZread plug. I saw the video of Jesser throwing the football over the house on TT but didn’t know him. Now it’s full circle. The algorithm be algorithming 😅
happy to say that ive been watching Jesser since 2015 during the 2K era
Most humble KZreadr! Only blessings coming your way my guy!
FINALLY
I’ve been following Jesse since he first moved in with Lsk. Literally watched every f***ing video he’s made. For those who don’t know him, ask yo mama who “Jesserthelazer” is😂 fr tho he’s the goat and a big inspiration to me❤🕺🏽
Man, I known this dude when he was still opening packs on 2K. Just all of a sudden he grew so fast.
Jesser and That’ll Work trick shot collab?? 👀
watching for jesser for 8 years now seeing how crazy he's grown over the past few years.
Jesse you legend bro watching you back then was such a w
Jesser is awesome! Living the dream for a lot of us.
That board on the wall is so good.
Y’all buggin for not knowing who jesser is, he jus doesn’t cater to ur viewer base, doesn’t mean he’s a nobody

Fax been watching jesses since I was a lil nigga I’m 18 now
Let's goooo
It’s so funny watching new KZreadrs get their mind blown about old youtube monetization. 17:25 in, Samir asks “you thought 100k views was enough to go full time?” Yes, back then it absolutely was. What people don’t understand is 100k views per video, but uploading 7 days per week. Maybe twice in a day too. This guy was probably getting 1.5-3m views per week in 2014. KZreadrs back then we’re making so much more money than most creators of similar sizes today. The CPM’s were a bit messed up because of machinima and other sketchy stuff, but the sheer quantity of views was wild cause you had the whole audience in a sector.
1:07:30 was a weirdly ASMR adjacent gulp of water that synced up way too well with me sipping my morning coffee 😂 I had to pause and be like “ayo was that me?” And then replay the last 15 seconds to make sure I wasn’t crazy
Jesse deserves this his content is goated🔥🐐
lets go
Crazy just a year ago he did a podcast wit tjas and he had 10M now he’s almost at 20M
yeah it's crazy i have absolutely no idea who this is and he has an entire company. it just shows how much potential the creator economy has for new creators
I was subbed to him when he was at 1 million
5th, also really cool podcast got me and my brother interested in Jesser
I would love for you to interview Safiya Nygaard! Her videos are so well researched and prepared/edited plus she and her husband moved their entire operation across the country and I’d love to know the logistics of that!
Thank you so much for talking to my favorite person
Good Morning
Very tanks🎉🎉
As a smaller creator I took a lot of value from this, thank you!

Amo los podcast que hacen el pista de audio en Español
We need Harry Mack! His podcast (5 eps deep) is awesome, he's been in the game for a bit, super entertaining and contagious energy. You all would have an awesome convo.
Interview JSTU next!
I feel within the next 5ish years, athletes and sports will be the leaders of the content world once the education point is solidified. A decent amount of successful creators have a background in playing sports. One player that was ahead of his time with content creation was Brandon Jennings, he had a series called under the armor that would do really well in today’s era of creatives.
Can you change the title of a video after post production?
JESSER !! 🐐
Summer league would be a good place for experimentation.
Surprising, never heard of besser
Love this
Never heard of spotter until now
I love you Jesser im trying to create some crazy videos soon im 16yrs old !

hi, interview me too pls xx
You should do an interview with nick wilkins
Can you interview with connor price
this guy is the nicest dude ever.
the collab the world needed
Damn he didn’t even mention TD 😢
When is an interview with faze rug coming?!😂
A big part in my opinion with sports communities and trying to get younger people in, is the culture. Whether it's pro, amateur, or little league, sports harbor a very toxic community (generalized statement, I know), especially for people like us who enjoy them but are also not super masculine, or political, or homo-erotic, or sexist; we're just probably what most people would call a "normal dude". And it's the core fans of these sports as well. They get broadcasted in bars, or bar-restaurants (like Applebee's, BWW) where a more average person wouldn't feel comfortable with or without the sport. Generally, sports fans are LOUD. Tend to be aggressive, and tend to be an opinionated men. While yes, competitiveness is part of the game, they're not places for Gen-Z, who I would say trend towards more chill, bright/colorful places. The only reason I like football is because my family was so into it growing up and I see it as part of my roots, but I do not watch any other sport for pastime, it's just not the vibe these days.
