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

The way I like to work is 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 and burn out. And then I 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 work certain days; I just go as hard as I can, every ounce, my entire body, until I just crash.

Money is cool, but I live in my studio. I don't have a mansion. I don't drive a Lamborghini. So, it's like, I like money because I can hire more people and grow my business but not so I can increase my lifestyle or whatever.

We probably spend, like, 20-30 times longer thinking of ideas than other people; we probably film, like, 10 times more than other people; we probably spend 100 times per video more than other people. So, it's like, we put in the effort ... I just believe in what we're doing, you know what I mean?

I just like to make the greatest YouTube videos possible. That's literally all I want. So, yeah, if it's not the greatest video, we just won't upload it.
