Episode notes
Preparedness Turned A Pickup Game Into An Exclusive
- John Youshaei prepared for big interviews long before they happened and got invited to interview MrBeast after building rapport at events.
- A casual pickup basketball at the Mavericks facility became a backstage tryout that led to a North Carolina sit-down exclusive.
Offer A Specific, Actionable Pitch
- Be specific when offering help to bigger creators instead of generic offers like "I can help."
- Pitch a concrete, narrow value you can deliver and follow up with a portfolio or sample.
Network Through The People Around Creators
- When you meet top creators, talk to the people around them like managers, assistants, and editors.
- Build relationships with those gatekeepers because they influence who the creator notices and trusts.
