Thanks again to Cometeer for sponsoring this episode! Don’t forget to check them out cometeer.com/colinandsamir to find out more about the Future of Coffee. Comment on this video and Samir just might buy you Coffee.... Colin definitely won't.
Ayo can I get coffee I'm guessing ur reading this cz comment was only 1m ago lol. Anyway can u try to interview dream and other Minecraft CZcamsrs
Reflecting on your Mr.Beast episode I feel like your title could be so much better
Another great one guys! Can we keep it going and please get episodes that are in the 2 hour longe or more range? Would love that :)
Where can I buy your merch
I actually started THIS channel to do what you are discussing at around 56:00 I would like to share my idea, outline, strategy, and curriculum to creating the "How to Create" material
One thing Jack Conte forgot to mention about Patreon that is a nice feature if you ever wanna take a break for a month or longer but don't wanna feel like you're taking people's money without posting anything new is stopping the billing cycle for the next month. Of course, you can explain yourself to your audience and see how they feel about it before and decide if it's necessary, but it's nice to know that a feature like that exists.
Yes, I do wish we could do half months because it's a lot to give up entire months income when you just needed two weeks off. But still nice to have and I understand why it would be hard to do half months off.
@@littleripper312 Do you have any experience in particular with patron? I'd be really interested in learning when you decided to use it.
Interestingly, The Consouls (they do VGM jazz) told their fans in December that they were taking a break from streaming (not a break from Patreon) for January, and mentioned that they were aware that some of their subscribers might take a break too if there wasn't any content for that month so that's why they were letting us know. It was surprising for me to hear that but then I realised that being on Patreon , TwitchTV and Discord etc the band is really connected with fans, many of whom are quite young (I'm not so young!). The flexibility of the monthly option works for both creators and subscribers it seems.
Isn't that what he is talking about at 22:59, taking time off and non-monthly fees?
@@littleripper312 Thoughtful guy.
Happy Monday everybody
No offense but who says happy Monday 🤣
Guys please do interview with CODY KO it's a kind request 😁
@@ShaggyScooby creators 😂
You too! :)
Happy belated happy diwali and new year to sameer and colin 🎉🎉👍🎉
Dude this interview convinced me to believe in Patreon and consider using it as a creator. What other company has a CEO that pure? Incredible.
aye
It's really nice to know that the CEO of Patreon is actually a creator, I've been building my Patreon for two years and didn't even know that!
This might be the best interview you've ever done, and that's saying a lot.
Definitely one of the best!
I agree! This one got really deep and didn’t lose focus.
Yooo Brett, how has YT not given you a check mark yet 🤦♂️ your videos are amazing dude please keep them coming!
Cant get enough of these interviews! nice work Samir and Colin!
Agree - this channel it just soo great, my channel has been really inspired by their content tbh. It's just crazy how they give such a deep insight into the creator economy. I really wonder how they make these simple podcasts so engaging, though, it's rare to see CZcamsrs keeping us watching for so long. Do you have any idea?
The canvas analogy was fresh to hear!
was beautiful!
50:00 Your welcome
Your sponsorships are always so unique.
Agreed, i'm actually kinda interested in it. Usually sponsored product ads are just something i sit through to support the creator and every once in a blue moon i see one that actually catches my attention as a product i might buy. This coffee one is now the latest one where i might actually make a purchase. it looks like a cool futuristic K-Cup/instant coffee but higher quality.

It takes a humble dude to ask for help when you know something isn't aligned with your passion, but needs to succeed. Inspiring story Jack and great storytelling Colin and Samir!
Hey guys, been a quiet supporter & watcher of your channel for a while now. But these conversations are GOLD for us content creators. I appreciate you guys and these conversations/videos so much! The wisdom, love, and care you guys have for Creators is next level. Just want to say THANK YOU!
Hey it’s the great Nolan Molt don’t I know you from somewhere a little CZcams channel called THINK MEDIA or something like that ;) ;)
Well good to see you here and take care have a wonderful day evening or night.
@@JasonRostro thank you bro!!! You too! 🙏🏻
Making a patreon right now!
Hiii
Don't. It's a trap
@@deadlypyre why
LETSGOOOO Pomplamoose was the first "creator" that I started following back in like 2011 and watching Jack's career develop has been so inspiring. Really needed something like this right now, thank you
I was hooked right from the beginning, the passion with which Jack speaks with just draws you in. I also loved the coffee video. Nice editing.

“Creators are not machines… you can’t do the same thing every month until you die” truth speak right there 💥
Jack Conte is one of the most important figures of our time! I’m surprised the title of this video doesn’t say “Patreon CEO”, I thought that would get people more interested?
Great video!
Watching this on mobile while adding my Patreon end screen on computer feels like a win :) ps. me and my wife are crazy coffee nerds. If she had to choose me or coffee I would probably lose. Going to enjoy the rest of the episode now, bye
Do you have any experience in particular with patron? I'd be really interested in learning when you decided to use it.
Love this stuff! New loyal viewers/listener here. Subscribed. Thanks for doing this.
I remember 5 or 6 years ago where even having a sponsor would have creators getting bad looks from their audience, god forbid they ask them for money. Then the adpocalypse happened. Now Patreon is not only encouraged, it’s many if not most cases, it’s essential for creators. Crazy how the online creator space has changed so much in less than 5 years

Hey, it's the most addictive video for me, once I started watching, I just don't want to stop watching it. Although it is my first time finding Patreon CEO.

The optimism of this discussion is SO refreshing.
I love these interviews with these CEOs and founders of companies! Incredible insight

I haven't been here since the beginning but I've watched every video of yours for probably 18 months and this one resonates with me personally more than most. Thanks for what you do
I love this channel because there are no commercial interruptions and it feels like I’m in the room and these are questions and discussions I would
have. Thank you for this great content
This was the best conversation about creators I ever heard! Thank you a lot Colin and Samir! So mutch value in this conversation!
You’re doing so much for the creator community with these deep interviews! Thank you Colin & Samir!🙏🏾
OMG!!! His energy… he’s such a sweet kinda person… you can tell by the way he speaks
He is so polite!!! I wish Jack was my friend ❤️
I first heard Patreon’s story on How I Built This with Guy Raz. It never gets old! Thanks for bringing him on.
I love you guys. You have inspired to finally give social media a shot at the start of this year. I began on Twitter using content to drive affiliate advertising. And some TikTok content. Thank you guys so much! I've learned so much. I'm very excited to one day invest in Patreon as long as CZcams clubs doesn't take over.

Recently discovered your channel and loving all these interviews. You should be really proud of the content you're putting out and the channel's trajectory.
You guys just drop banger after banger and don't give me enough time to recover from the last one
Guys im so glad to see you blowing up ! 400k!!!! I knew this was coming ...Excited for 1 Mill .. thanks for inspiring us to be better creators 🙌
YESS!! happy to see Jack here! He's an amazing musician!! such an inspiration and a great dude!
What always puts a smile on my face is the fact that you two are able to bring so much quality to each episode and each one is so diverse when it comes to the insight and the lessons learned. Love it!

Your editing is off the charts. That was literally the best ad I’ve ever seen 🙌🏾
Needed this today! Thank you Colin and Samir, and of course Jack
The canvas metaphor is exactly how I think about my business career and how my team work. And then there is a creator side of me that has to follow the same framework. This is the cleanest expression of that mindset that I’ve heard in a while!
this was a joy to listen to. great questions and great answers
one of the best episodes yet !! Keep up the good work. You guys are very smart ;)
I remembered first seeing Jack on casey’s channel, then when I go to his channel, I was hooked! Glad he’s doing well! All in the name of helping creators 🔥

Maybe the most insightful/pertinent content I’ve ever consumed. Well done boys
If anyone didn’t notice, the La Croix soda water on the table is pamplemousse flavored :)
So glad someone noticed haha
Mate i love your content. You should make a course/masterclass/video about how to make a podcast!
This type of content that motivates me to keep working towards a goal!
Love this.. he created a solution to his own problem and become the first user of his OWN platform!

best way to do it
I used to listen to jack’s and Nataly dawn’s pamplemouse music back in the day. I was totally surprised to learn he founded patreon! Amazing
You guys are awesome! Great conversation!
Jack is my HERO. Thanks for bringing him in.
this was fantastic! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
all i want say is thanku i feel so full with knowledge.it always a joy to watch a episode of yours
you guys are killing it, thank you for all of your content
What a gorgeous interview! I'm still listening to it now, but I feel the rawness and connection I feel with all of you as fellow artists. My struggle is in holding firm to that artistry rather than turning it into 'content' and sharing the art in its intimate state rather than just having it turned into IP the moment it's complete. This is my great life pondering. I'm 53. I still haven't worked that out yet, but this is going in the right direction. I thank you all.
Great chat, so many good insights!
Really enjoyed this interview. Really good information.
Jack Conte just emits good and pure energy. Hope we continue to get more passionate creative first brand builders in the future just like him.
This was fantastic, really needed to hear the points everyone made 56:00 - 58:00 fantastic episode
Awesome podcast once again. Love the value 💯
This is my first time seeing an interview with Jack, but I swear I have talked with him in person. He seems like such a sweet guy and I think we talked about creativity and finding what your creative talents can do in the world
Great video guys!
When Colin mentioned difference between artists and creators, it was pretty on point. Never thought of it like that.

Excited for this video, watching now !
I saw him on creator now and I've just been waiting for a interview with you guys and him
I’m ready to pay for the Colin and Samir Patreon your content is amazing! You won me over with your interview skills, and the cherry on top was the way you end your videos and Shorts. I’m sold!!
really great video! i loved the questions you guys asked really went into the nitty gritty about what it means to be a creator and buisness owner.
Thank you for the Cometeer coffee Samir! I'll send you my info

@@AlexsCreatorEconomy, I imagine it's due to their story telling process which they teach in their course. Structuring a story properly is, in my opinion, the key factor in whether your audience stays engaged.

You guys are killing it! Lovinggggggg the content
Have been looking towards your vids all week
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing it. ✌️
great episode!
Love what your team is doing, keep it up!
Very interesting talk! That was quite the origin story. Exciting to see people supporting their work in this way. Most of my viewership these days comes from search and I don't have much of a community that stuff like this connects with, so I've felt like this type of thing never really applied to me.
One of the few CEOs that just talks. No script, just answers. Will be making a Patreon 👍
It’s a good day when you guys upload
Great episode guys!
Here for the coffee and the great interview as always! :)

I recant my earlier statement. This is a wise conversation.. so refreshing and collaborative. Simply delicious!

Also, the passion the Jack speaks with really draws the listener in. He seems like a great guy who truly cares for people.
