- Many dream of making it onto the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. But should they? In Good Work’s latest Case Study, the Investigative News Team lays bare the controversial world of Forbes 30 Under 30.
Thanks to the following folks for their assistance with this vital investigation: Jake Karls, an entrepreneur who has made the list; Chris Bakke, an entrepreneur who (sadly) didn’t make the list; and Jody Fisher, a New York-based public relations expert; and Sarah Ross, a licensed medical professional and comedian.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the most inspirational video I've seen this year
Truly good work
I'm more inspired that the Forbes used to be drug dealers, and now they have a news agency where they can manipulate anyone.
Opium rhymes with Copium
😂😂
Many people are asking me why my bookshelves are empty. I had to embarrassingly spend 27 minutes of my 30 minute interview with Dan moving stacks of my Forbes magazines off the shelves and out of camera view for this interview. Anyway, thanks for having me on.
Chris, you're always welcome with or without books. Thanks for joining!!
It would have been hilarious to see it all stacked with Forbes magazines.
😂😂
Is this a real Chris from Twitter?
Can i have a job?
This is getting dangerously close to journalism. If you keep this up, the Last Week Tonight folks will send you a cease and desist.
Or a job offer 🤷
Don't worry we are idiots
@@GoodWorkMBHow dare you, we are nothing alike.
Don't worry, they are on strike😅
Journalism? LOL. So many jealous videos being made about Forbes 30 under 30... Everything you are saying is so far from the truth. And I know for a FACT that you can NOT "buy your way into it". Any another inaccuracy you failed to mention in your video: Elizabeth Holmes was NEVER on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. Finally, from the thousands of people under the Forbes 30 under 30 list over the years, only tiny fraction of them (like less than 10 people in total) were involved in some kind of financial crime, but they were all in the FINANCE CATEGORY. There are so many other categories in this list where everyone truly deserves to be on it. Also, if you look at anything like a college or school, from the thousands of alumni, there are always a handful of people who ended up doing something bad, but it is it fair to say then that ALL of the alumni from that school or college are 'scammers'? Stop making badly researched generalizations about this list and spreading lies!
please make a video on genius world records.

@@dh6462you know what satire is?
I can't tell whether this is serious or satire. My humor is broken? But I'm afraid my whole brain is broken cause that's a possibility
That could mean two very different reasons.
Either celebrating the achievements of individuals over long careers.
Or making fun of people who got life in jail for fraud like Salmon Baked and Fried.
As a federal prosecutor the 30 under 30 list is amazing, makes my job so much easier!

In a world of 30 under 30, be a beaver carrying a carrot and a head of lettuce.
I found this to be a piece of legitimate and insightful journalism, which was irritating because I came here to laugh. Still, good work, Good Work.

I love the fact that we as a society are finally starting to "show truths", but it's not enough.
The story I heard was at the Twitch office, they contacted by Forbes that they were on the list. They asked around the office who wanted it, and some random dude took it. Not merit based at all, just randomly chosen from hyped up companies.
This is becoming one of my favorite channels, I love the style of humor, keep it up!
Thank you Delaf52
When I was younger I thought it was the real deal, but once I actually read it I saw that they don't try to hide the blatant nepotism. "Stepped down to prioritize their role as a shareholder" is something I've seen more than once.
You don't need high production value when you have great journalism and scripting like this. Don't change a thing! Great work.
No, Sir, this is Good work.
Best part of the video is the ending sketch during the credits. It's okay to not be successful at 30, in fact, if you are successful before thirty, chances are you cut some corners somewhere to get there.
I thought you coughed up your liver once you turn 30
That post credits scene was the best bit of the whole video. Why'd you not include it 😂
He... pretty much did?
The nurse was lying, when you turn 30 you literally die
Oh I absolutely love this, we don't need to be pressurised to be on any lists in our 20s. We are enough
Preach
As someone who works under an incompetent executive in the 30
"i would look at that list, and i wanted to be on it" genius. so well spoken.
My dad is a super straight-laced guy and we don’t share the same sense of humor for the most part, but I send him all your videos and he likes them lol
Keep up the “good work”. Love your channel!!
❤
I was on the list. I didn't even apply, but a journalist I was in contact with as a source for other things offered to nominate me. I got on on the strength of that. I never had to pay anything, but in order to attend the "summit" they had for the hundreds of others who made the list that year, I think there was a registration fee. I had scarcely even heard of it before I got on it and I just assumed my reporter friend was trying to be nice to me.
"has invisible books"
I died laughing
Fun fact: I nannied a baby from 3 months to 9 months then he showed up 20 yrs later on the list. I take all the credit bc I read to him and played Tracie Chapman everyday
Genuine concern. What would happen…if one day you guys can't find a new pile of garbage to shoot in front of?
Greta Thunberg dreams a clean planet
@@GoodWorkMB😂
You've clearly never been to new York
It’s union square rich people garbage and therefore acceptable
Man I felt that one with the end skit. As someone who turned 30 this year I was equally like "people say I start breaking down now when does that kick in?"
35 lol
As someone who was recently awarded "Top 37 year old by 37 different, INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED, beef jerky companies" (most notably, Slim Jim) I can confirm that the whole process felt (much like the jerky tasted) less than savory.
😂😂 nice
I’m on that list. Was nominated by an old colleague. I will say that one of the positives was that generated donations for the charity I worked for at the time. Went to one of the summits though and it did seem like a marketing ploy rather than anything useful for those attending.
Hopefully I’m not on a fast track to prison!
Are you in prison yet?
@@meidf they haven’t caught me yet lol
@@yourforbiddenfruitWow congrats. That charity money DEFINITELY is going yo something important lololol. It aint that good bud.
That 85% of donations go to cover "administrative fees" certainly isn't as red flag.
The fake suggestions at the end of the video are pure gold
Another good journalism. Closed with a very genuine statement. That last comment is very much needed in today’s world thank you dan!
I've just discovered this channel today and I have already watched everything. I need more of these informational videos AND the office skits
I’m laughing way too much from the various title changes in the interviews. My wife is wondering what’s so fun.
You’re a genius
My favorite part of his videos too
i like how every cut to Dan interviewing people is him smoldering Patrick bateman-esque into the camera
I started watching this channel a few months ago, and I honestly keep checking for new uploads.
Genius, insightful content here. Cant wait to see it at 1m.
Without you, what will do Dan.😅😂
Good Work has the best editors, hands down. Literally nonstop funny, even the end screen 😂
@@GoodWorkMB
But what avout my sweet baby brother and 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy 😢
“Chris has invisible books” absolutely KILLED ME! Great video
The only person on the list I can think of is Griffin McElroy, and he's pretty cool
This video is so well-crafted, the jokes perfectly timed. Excellent reporting!
really glad youtube fed this to me
binged all of the rest of the documentary-style video!! in the VC one, when the camera changed to your face and it was blurred captioned "anonymous interviewer"... bruuuuh 🤣🤣☠☠
KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!!
"How bull is this shit" is the most philosophical and shakespear-ish shit I've heard in a long while
Thank you for including Ben Simmons. He should never be able to get away with his fraudulence.
Thanks for the video! I was wondering though, you spoke mainly about the business and entertainment side of the 30 under 30 list, which is maybe the category that would see the biggest amount of scammers and payers. Do the same issues happen on the humanitarian or education side of the list?
This video somehow made me feel lighter. Your humour is always on point, thanks Dan ❤
I was ‘recommended’ this video and after a few mins I knew this was an insta subscribe. The algorithm is working!
This is the best channel on TH-cam. I died when I read “has invisible books” then next frame “also reads” 😂😂
There’s definitely an ego factor that pressured or drive some of those top 30 under 30 winners into criminal activities because they cannot accept failure. The list is a danger to have as it not only strive you to be the best at a very young age, but also limited their ability to experience failure and learn from it. Most of the people in the top 100 riches list are all over 50, even 60-90 years old for a reason.
Yea probably only one in a billion people actually succeed in business in their 20s, e,g., Jobs, Gates, Dell, Zuck, and it’s not without extreme luck and unfair resources around them. To expect anyone to achieve those standards in their 20s is beyond unrealistic.
Or the other way around. They conned their way to the list to make themselves look credible and take more money.
I have a digital marketing agency and it's really sad that most people don't realize that 99% of everything you see on the internet is for profit. Blogs, newsletters, pretty much everything has a for profit agenda
When you work in marketing, you realize everything can be bought and paid for 😂
Thats because capitalism drives that, and moet people are dumb as bricks.
Just found this channel and love it. It’s like a spoof Johnny Harris, but with solid reporting and narrative. Great stuff.
But what about the only good member of the 30 under 30 list, Griffin McElroy.
I love this channel - very funny and makes me feel a lot less out of step with the world
A surprisingly uplifting ending - I do think social media and the internet puts a lot of pressure on young people to succeed, be celebrated and get rich. Sometimes just having a good time, being a good person and having a good life is more than enough
Spot on 💯. More young people need to hear this type of message. I'm glad I learned this early on in my 20s. Young 20 somethings will get older and look back and realize THAT (what you said) is more important than looking for validation
Instant sub. Had me cracking up, high production value, and an interesting topic! SICK!
The Jody Fisher - Woody Harrelson joke was brilliantly understated
6:46 “PR Expert” and “PR Nightmare” gave me a good laugh. I look forward to these videos! They feel so fresh and the topics are very relevant
Suga Senpai had spoken!!!!! 🤩🫶✨️
This is my new favorite TH-cam channel. Thanks. I love you.
The video recommendations at the end had me rolling 😂
I absolutely love the bio lines during interview cuts.
Oh god no one tell media luminary Griffin McElroy
First time viewer. Liked the subtle comments in each frame. Subscribed to maybe one day hear the long story about being banned in canookistani media.
"has invsible books" has got to be the greatest text descriptor on this channel yet.
I love it how Foster is like "Yeah, those people are no criminals, they are just under a lot of pressure and it is our fault." - What a huge amount of BS.
One day you're gonna have to actually make those end credit video ideas, they sound fire
2:52 "Has invisible books" TOOK ME OUT AHAHAH
Thank God for the algorithm and stumbled on this Channel 🤣🤣.. just Subscribed 👍
The empty bookshelves play is actually psychotic
Love the last part! I needed to hear this. ❤
I don’t know anything about 30/30, nor do I care, but this is one of the best videos I’ve watched recently; well done.
the editing style is sick af !!! i love it
I really appreciate him doing the new anchor accent it adds so much to the video I've never seen this channel and I'm very disappointed I haven't before.
Forbes 30 under 30 is a coin toss on if they came from a wealthy background, or if they're going to get indicted for fraud.
Jake yoand the team are legends! Thank you!
This is my first time watching this channel and it has so refreshing humor.
Punchline are so good man. Especially that invisible book comment and Zackenberg line🤣🤣🤣🤣
Subscribing to the channel. Keep up the good work.
This was an amazing video, very positive and uplifting. Thank you for making it
true journalism, getting the point across while also being entertaining
Gotta have a those cutaways to Dan drinking from his coffee cup lol
Not saying it’s a scam but there sure are plenty of scammers that end up on this list. It’s like Truly’s Bling Life but with a “respectable” publication’s name to make it legitimate.
At least I know who’s gonna end up in a scandal.
“has invisible books” took me out 😂
Good Work is the best thing to happen to TH-cam in years tbh
Glad this video was in my recommendations. Funny, factual and subscribed.
Thank you, algorithm, for putting this on my recommendation page. Brilliant videos, man!
This is the best channel on youtube about corporate truth🙌
We need a 90 over 90 list
Fan from Taiwan, I love this channel and am always excited about your next topic!
always great subjects and conclusions , Goodwork™ properly funny too :)
I am less than 1,5 minutes into this video, but I have subscribed! This format is amazing!
Thank you for the message at the end. Really made me feel a lot better about myself
7:40 This is the most inspiration thing I've heard all year!
When I was 29, I could stay up all night and drink all day and eat whenever I wanted.
At 30, I fall asleep by 7:30, I can barely finish a light beer, and a late dinner is 4:45 AT THE MOST.
That ending bit with the nurse killed me
Just discovered this channel. I love it .
Genuinely surprised that Elizabeth Holmes was never on it.
This is some good stuff! Glad I came across it! 🎉
i absolutely love the cut from "has invisible books" to "also reads"
