Hey Ben, love this interview series. A little feedback, try a podcast/interview like setup where you and the guest are looking at each other. I donât know you might be constrained by resources(camera or microphone), but in this setup it looks like both the guest & you are struggling to maintain eye contact with each other & camera.
Was thinking the same thing
From my experience editing interviews in the podcast style, itâs a little more time intensive as you have to switch cameras between whoeverâs speaking.
Great series Ben! Hope you could interview someone from the Private equity world especially firms that do buyouts (or even distressed IB)
Hey Ben, thanks for the CZcams video. As someone who is interested in venture capital I found them highly interesting!! :)
Value packedđ„
Awesome video bro
best channel
great video
great interview
Equity is really a Key rule. I know 2 friends in that industry but one got a huge equity share when a company went public netting him over $12 million. That level of wealth you can walk away anytime and just manage yourself investments.
@@resa574 very true and about 90% plus start ups fail, so becomes very Risky. Most lose their jobs and need to start recruitment process. However, finding that needle in haystack opportunity can be very lucrative.
A wonderful channel and great contents, I enjoyed watching most of your videos, thanks for sharing. []][[]
thanks!
omg she is so sweet
I thought she was great to listen to!
What languages are you guys learning?
for ana spanish and for me korean
@@rareliquidcareers my brother os learning korean too.
I speak a little bit of spanish.
Do you study these languages because you are connected through legacy to them?
Hey Ben, try to listen to your intro using airpods before you go to bed. Itâs a bit rough on the ears
First five seconds from 0:00 to 0:05
love the new logo, not the intro...
What's wrong with the intro?! đ
@@barryaherne215 tbh it is not necessary, intros are always skipped, Mr beast is kinda CZcams's god father interms of reverse-engineering viewers' behavior. majority don't want intros...
@@edyraper Oh, fair enough. I thought you were referring to this intro specifically; that something said was wrong. Might be something for Ben to consider going forward, though. Interesting viewpoint.
