Sara: Are you a Canadian Native? Linus: *Proceeds to say “yeah with a Canadian accent”, gives distance in kilometres, and after politely doing the math to convert it to miles for her, then apologizes* ... Well at least we know Linus is a man of his word.
It's funny, I would never consider 60 km from the place you grew up 'be native' to the place, but that's probably the scale of giant countries. Whereas I'm from a small country like the Netherlands. I'd call my native area anything that can be reached with a car within 15 minutes or within 30 minutes by public transit.
The fact that LTT became far more successful on TH-cam than NCIX ever hoped for (like literally 10x more subs), and the fact NCIX went out of business due to poor business management, speaks words.
So true. I'm happy with how it all turned out for Linus and all his teammates. NCIX seemed like it would've been sorta toxic from what I keep hearing compared to LMG/LTT.
The one extra click thing was a perfect example. It doesn't seem like a lot but over time that's hours or days added to your workflow for no added productivity. And then it's the on hand vs sales argument. Like all the signs point to the boss not understanding businesses at scale.
Thank you for putting your podcast out on TH-cam! AND thank you for having such respectable & brilliant people like Linus on. I've learned so much from him over the years.
@@Murderbits That's just wrong (imo). Creativity isn't limited to Video, Art, Music and such. For example i do think that Software Engineering or Coding in General is a very creative task as finding solutions to a problem can be a lot of "how am i putting this together so it works, or maybe that. That's a way i could connect those technologies." which, at least to me, is a kind of creative work - if you know what I mean.
man, i'd honnestly listen to him really all day, because, he is honnest, he is passionate as you said, and so i'd really stay here, listen to a person that is super intelligent, has an awesome mindset, make other's learn, and that's something that i want, learn about tech, he is so good on how his team is doing things.
@@MKR3238 He said that in some WAN episode. But he also said he doesn't know if it ever comes out, it's more like he collects moments and thoughts in a notebook that would be great for a autobiography, and he wrote 1 page of self introduction which he read out in that episode.

"I have a server at my house.." "Well, not everybody has their own server LINUS!" This is so pure and a 100% accurate description of Linus in a few words xD
Yeah, i was watching Lew about 3-4 years ago, but grew tired of it very quickly. Unboxings are pretty boring and the only interesting video there was Jack reveal.
I know everyone memes about it, and Linus has his moments, but Linus seems like a genuinely great employer, who really gets how to be successful without selling your soul and the souls of your employees.
Yes, and even his own streaming service (Floatplane) were 100% Profit funded, just little bit of kickback from Linus Media Group's money at the start, but the priority since day 1 were profitable business model, and they're at least surviving and growing (means profit is there), without fanfarez but growing.
For those of you who don't know, NCIX was one of probably three or four major computer retailers in all of Canada. Then they decided that physical retail was more important than online sales. How far back was this? Newegg didn't have a Canadian branch at the time. But they do now.
The CEO turned out to be a nice guy, sold Linus 'Linus Tech Tips' for nothing, the clause in the contract basically said 1. Don't compete with me for 2 years, 2. Don't steal my employees. The CEO could have been a dick and asked for thousands of dollars for the TH-cam channel.
31:41 - This is the first time I've ever heard Linus talk about ADHD. As someone who also has it, I hope he knows what a massive inspiration he is to not just me but so many other people! If I even achieve half of what Linus has achieved in his life already I would be satisfied 😅

Such a great video, once of my favorites. When I was at LTX last year Linus's ride to the conference left without him and I drove him and another person to the conference center and got to talk with him for about 30-45 minutes and I realized he's very genuine. We didn't even talk about tech, I went on a rant about motorcycles specifically Harley Davidson and was shocked to hear that Linus isn't a fan of rider aids on motorcycles. I wished I would have more time to discuss that because I was ready for an argument about how no person can react as fast or as precisely as modern ABS and traction control in all conditions. And while they do increase the cost of a motorcycle it's money well spent on something that doesn't remove anything from the riding experience while having the ability to make up for a mistake or variable road conditions. Anyway, Linus is super cool as is all of the staff at LMG I got to talk to.
@@georgilazarov1644 Think that's similar to the debate of Manual vs Automatic, sometimes people enjoy the greater challenge or control of having to do everything yourself. And sometimes that same technology that makes things safer stops you from doing some things - I don't know this 100% but I'm pretty sure drifting or wheelspin isn't as easy with traction control as it's one of the key areas it works on, maintaining appropriate friction on all wheels to prevent any loss of grip
I know that when I panic break i'm not thinking about how much pressure to apply to which brakes to slow down quickest. And that even though I know better I go through back brakes more often than the front. I don't use the cruise control much tho, except when riding inter-state in very light traffic just to give my hand a break now and then.
I think Alex would be a great interview, him or anthony, they're some of the technical might behind LTT. Alex has an engineering background, and Anthony is literally the most knowledgeable soothing person i've ever watched. Him and Wendell need to do something together.
I love how Linus still wears that shirt! he is half the reason that company went down lol They were hoping he would give a better review for the product they developed but he didn't becaause he is honest (why we love him) and after the kickstarter it went south
honest? hahahahahahaha... yeah sure...if you don't write him a cheque! Take Intel for example.. always carefully phrasing the "negatives" about them. always. Linus is honest rarely because he would be out of business the next day. last time he was honest was with the new Ryzen CPU and APUs recently because the fans love AMD and he wants to please them and because his inner geek got exposed with the AMD products! but when it comes to be honest with Intel....nooooooo never... just some nice words to look like he is hard on them but ALWAYS find a positive thing to say about a shity product of them. ALWAYS.
@@johnnyxp64 Except there is literally a whole video on the channel dedicated to telling Intel they are fucking idiots in no soft terms so...shut the fuck up and leave?
@@bumfuzzlebro I think the issue here is you don't like her style of interviewing people. She wasn't just trying to gather a whole bunch of facts to report on. She had some questions she wanted answered for herself, along with helping others out who may be starting their own channels. Gotta remember, shes not catering to the world, just her audience. Personal questions and showing a weakness like that is how you get a loyal fan-base. A lot of stuff from the real world that's pulled into TH-cam has to change form for it to be applied due to how easily people can interact with you and how easily it can effect your channel.
Phone fatigue is definitely a thing. I remember when people would wait overnight for the latest iPhone. Now it's not worth money to upgrade. Kind of like when computers completely changed at a rapid pace. Now it's much slower.
Yeah, I've got it bad too. Had an Android/Google-related blog from 2009 till last year and I lost interest in most tech things whilst that was going. Partially cause of other things too, but mostly cause tech companies are just too thirsty for attention and sell you shit you don't need, just by putting a bigger number on things that aren't important. Like 99% of phone specs. People are catching up to that slowly. They don't understand they're selling to actual people. I do love stuff like new display tech and folding phones tho, but that's mostly cause I have huge hands and love smooth UI's. But what do I know, I still rock a Pixel 2 XL, and will till it dies. I hate doing anything on a phone, mostly cause I'm on a PC way more.
There is certainly phone fatigue. I used to upgrade my phones yearly, than it dropped to every two years, and now im sticking with my old iPhone X and i dunno when i upgrade. It works fine, it has enough performance for me, and the battery life is still good. Why should i upgrade? Not passionate about it anymore. Funny enough though, i was tired of building computers for the last 10 years or so. I got my custom computers build by some store, but only every 3 to 4 years. Now i think about building my own rig for the first time in a decade again. It will be fun.
@@RyanADillon Depends on the contract as NCIX still existed on paper, was just under administration and liquidation - If you remember Linus was intentionally cagey on the subject for 4 months afterwards
As an Indian TH-cam viewer, I 100% agree with Linus said about Mobile Channels in India and what we have been going through in the last couple of years. That's why we love you Linus, spot on again.
Loved this podcast when it came out, so great to revisit! What Linus built with LTT is my biggest inspiration to run with YT "as a job", and you ask such good questions. TY!
Look idk who you are, but I do know Linus. You really are one hell of an interviewer. You seem so passionate about talking, and didn’t ever take it over to keep him from sharing his insight. You have my subscription, and I hope you do incredibly well in the future.
At first I couldn’t remember why this felt so familiar from a long time ago. However now I remember listening to this on the creative exchange? I’m glad this is finally on video as well!
A long long time ago... I can still remember... how NCIX used to make me smile. Then I had my credit number stolen after an order to NCIX... twice. Probably a coincidence.
It's funny hearing Linus talk about new hires needing to wait a year to get in front of the camera. And here is Madison coming in and doing her thing before her probation is over.
I totally understand Linus' talk about his momentary excellence in certain activities. I'm sure many of us have encountered those moments. It's nice to know Linus is just like any of us and tries his best to make things work to the fullest of his extent. Inspiring.
Wow you did a really good job going back and forth with him. I dont think ive ever seen Linus talk so naturally and so long in an interview before. Im glad you got him talking and so open. Always fun to hear new stories about the past from Linus.
Hearing Linus' story is really inspiring. This interview has also shown me how Linus is much more than a tech-head. His principles in running his company and even on issues discussed in this video is just spot on for me.
I watch Linus because he is passionate, enthusiastic, honest, and very knowledgeable...and that carries over into the rest of his staff. I will watch other channels on many other topics that have knowledge with enthusiasm to varying degrees, but Linus is at this time one of the best... he is also not crazy in any weird ways, or cocky. He is mild mannered and very real and beleivable human being. not putting on a show. So much of this world is fake, not just scripted, even if Linus is reading a script, he is not fake.
Your interviews are so much better than most I’ve seen in the past. You just flow so naturally, and dynamically venture into topics. It’s a pleasure to watch these.
I had a similar experience. I went into college for 2 years for electrical engineering and I was into home audio. I was in a Physics class whee I had to figure out the dimensions of an ice cube over a given time and a given temperature. It took the front, back and the front of a second sheet of paper to work out the math, and said nope, then took 2 Graphic Design classes before I quit.
A lot of people really don’t understand what computer science is going into it, and to be fair, it’s kind of hard to explain. CS is not about writing apps or building websites, it’s about understanding the conceptual, mathematical, and theoretical building blocks that make programming languages do what they do, and allow us to solve problems with them. Once you understand all of that, building an app is easy 😉
Linus is very admirable for being a true entrepreneur. Had an idea, took a risk, worked his ass off (still does) and made it successful. Maybe I should move to Canada, seems like the American Dream is more alive there than in the US these days...
He worked his ass off, it was not given to him lmao. He quite clearly saw the direction NCIX was going, and lo and behold they go bankrupt a year or two later.
Of course he still sounds salty. He loved ncix. He mentioned it in the interview. He loved the company for a long time and to end up leaving on somewhat bad terms because of a boss that's too shortsighted left a bad taste in his mouth. Even though that spat with that ceo was the thing that led linus to the career he has now it's still was upsetting to him to see a company he loved for so long go down the path to its own grave and he was powerless to do anything about it. Im pretty sure that if ncix didnt flop, linus would be segueing to ncix as their sponsors.
This Interview/Podcast is so good! How both of them moderate it and have like a 50/50 splitt of talking time. How Sara asks questions that trigger a nice story and actual conversation of a topic. The same with linus kind of interviewing her of her path, feelings and expectations! Greatly done!
VERY MUCH appreciate this longer, uninterrupted (without ads), organic feeling interview where the conversation between host and guest has the freedom to be explored in a variety of directions without being narrowly scripted. Nicely done. This was my first time on your channel and I'm glad I came across it. Also, as a long time fan of LMG, I enjoyed hearing this. Thank you!
Listening to Sara talk about her college experience at 18:33 really throws into sharp relief how broken the education system is. I mean obviously _she_ had the good fortune and presence of mind to ultimately land on her feet, but throughout her describing what she wanted from education and what she was being given, all I could think of was _this is a person crying out for a trade school, who probably never even realized that's what she needs_ . And if by some miracle she got over a lifetime of indoctrination with bullshit like 'trades are for people who can't get into college' and realized what she really needed, everyone in her life would have probably tried to talk her out of it.
For Linus to be a TH-cam Content Creation magnet, you Know he has to do well with the accessory parts of life. Those a private, but it would be nice to just talk to Linus man-to-man, brother to brother. Like my High-school buddies
Gavin Remme - Yeah, but most of her weekly podcasts are audio-only. Also this podcast was uploaded in March 4, 2019 but the video got uploaded 2 weeks ago, prob bc it takes a long time to edit such a long video
I love the Jibo shirt. A lot of people at the company were understandably pissed with Linus because of his critical review. But Linus was simply keepin’ it real. He kept that up, and that is the key to his success today, no question about it.
This is why iMessage and iPhotos etc are great. Sure there are a lot of alternatives but having a simple eco system that the whole family who aren’t tech savvy at all can use is why I love it. I can create and share photo albums in iPhoto with a simple add and there’s very little chance that say my mother can mess that up, or I have to spend time on a IT phone call trying to tell her how to download and where to put all these photos.. for a tech head like Linus of course he probably prefers his other options but I think his blind spot is not seeing its advantages for all the no tech people out there. I love my tech but It’s a nightmare having to be an IT guy for your extended family just to share a photo album.
I just LOVE how Linus views the whole "iCloud" thing she brought up =) Great content, great questions btw! Thx for this // I totally am used to these..."thumbnails". If it's necessary or better to use them, ffs - then do it. It has no impact on my viewing experience in any other way.
Dang Dang this was eye opening. Sponsorships separated from Editorial Productions Honest about irrelevancy of sponsors Plex versus iCloud -> I had no idea! Going to try plea because my iCloud is always full and never renewed 😅 Then statistics on videos, markets, industry trends, et cetera I wonder if Linus’s or the team has read Factfulness?! Establishing fun in productions Also said, establishing the atmosphere for the audience. Similar to theater. 🎭 Yeah, duh! It’s inviting people into an experience. You two do great work on this. Having Parameters for what makes a video Evergreen helps asses content. Clickable thumbnail styles are a tactic that needs to be assessed just as any other strategies. Channel for typical Channel for evergreen Channel for . . . Just like Netflix helps people find their niche in stand-up comedy, TH-cam helps people find their niche in content. A brand can serve multiple niches segments into its own channel. Probation Period acclimated the crew with the new member. Then that new member is acclimated just as slowly with the audience. Then being human, admiring mistakes as a brand, make plans to prevent those mistakes, and then actually behaving to prevent those mistakes. Linked here; Casey Neistat also explained the necessity to be human on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/OzinZOLF9JE/w-d-xo.html Linus would have helped out of generosity. (Idk what the debacle was about.) Sara & Linus are great at this. Both were able to quickly dig deep into topics without stagnating. P.S. I would LOVE to know ALL the behind-the-scenes to the social media presence that Sara briefly alluded to. The relationship dynamics, trial and errors, lessons, deals, negotiations, partnerships, efforts, everything. 👁🧠👁
@25:00 When they started talking about disclosure of sponsors I suddenly remembered that term 'native content' wonder why I stored that away in my brain.
We say no to pay to win well all phones has bluetooth and wifi, so why dont other brands have their own version of airdrop and other features that apple is doing? Airdrop is crushing the standard way of sharing trough bluetooth or wifi. Much better experience = the amazing innovation of it since no one else is competing with it
@@rotojo2 'crushing' is a laughable over exaggeration, it's a useful feature if you and the person you are sending stuff too has the same phone brand, are within Bluetooth range and you have a WiFi connection (which isn't that good a WiFi connection, as that's the only reason it'd be helpful) and need something sent in seconds rather than in a few more seconds than that, as it's a marginal difference. And Samsung has Quick Share, and others exist too. To call it a competition is silly, non of these services have much effort put into them, and if any is better than the other, it's not going to be really noticeable or something too care about. However Quick Share is newer so that will be better, which is quite ironic from what you've said.
We say no to pay to win I use it to send to myself between my devices and its allot quicker and faster and better experience than sending files on android devices and not to mention the obstacle way of windows to share things.. I guess you havent used airdrop for your own devices? And you are wrong about not being fast... i can transfer hundreds of photos + few videos in just a minute +/- and by 1 click and i dont have to get annoyed by the OS structure that make my life difficult either lol What others than quick share? And quick share must be very new, havent heard of even. If its going to be better it will need to use wifi 6 with better speeds if so. :) Newer is not always better either!

@@noxix7641 but it allows more people to enjoy motorcycling and improves safety for everyone. Isn't this better?
@@georgilazarov1644 Think that's similar to the debate of Manual vs Automatic, sometimes people enjoy the greater challenge or control of having to do everything yourself. And sometimes that same technology that makes things safer stops you from doing some things - I don't know this 100% but I'm pretty sure drifting or wheelspin isn't as easy with traction control as it's one of the key areas it works on, maintaining appropriate friction on all wheels to prevent any loss of grip
I know that when I panic break i'm not thinking about how much pressure to apply to which brakes to slow down quickest. And that even though I know better I go through back brakes more often than the front.
I don't use the cruise control much tho, except when riding inter-state in very light traffic just to give my hand a break now and then.
wait is this a 2019 reupload? SO SAD, cry. Please do another one with LTT, how about luke and brandon/edzel they also have had great input to ltt.
I want Taran and all his keyboards
@@emmaisalone oooh I haven't found that interview yet, also fair wan show.
I think Alex would be a great interview, him or anthony, they're some of the technical might behind LTT. Alex has an engineering background, and Anthony is literally the most knowledgeable soothing person i've ever watched. Him and Wendell need to do something together.
@@ExarchGaming oooh Anthony and Wendell would be soooo great

I love how Linus still wears that shirt! he is half the reason that company went down lol
They were hoping he would give a better review for the product they developed but he didn't becaause he is honest (why we love him) and after the kickstarter it went south
HumorousGiant, you’re right, it is. At about 44 seconds in it shows the date when it was recorded.
@@groomsdaniel he does still wear the shirt though, so the point stands
It's not his job to make a product good though. Look good, yes, sort of, but it's not half his fault that they fucked up.
honest? hahahahahahaha... yeah sure...if you don't write him a cheque! Take Intel for example.. always carefully phrasing the "negatives" about them. always. Linus is honest rarely because he would be out of business the next day. last time he was honest was with the new Ryzen CPU and APUs recently because the fans love AMD and he wants to please them and because his inner geek got exposed with the AMD products! but when it comes to be honest with Intel....nooooooo never... just some nice words to look like he is hard on them but ALWAYS find a positive thing to say about a shity product of them. ALWAYS.
@@johnnyxp64 Except there is literally a whole video on the channel dedicated to telling Intel they are fucking idiots in no soft terms so...shut the fuck up and leave?
27:26 I almost skipped 20 seconds on reflex...
2019 Linus: I don’t care about phones anymore
2020 Linus: Hold my beer
@Manuel that and it is nice to have a somewhat educated and transparent person outline the differences
I love listening to Linus talk, he inspires me and I cannot put my finger on why. Anyone relate??
16:45 Someone left their cell phone on... Linus? I'm looking at you.
using unbalanced mic cables too
Thats some 2.75G EDGE chatter right there. Very curious. I didn't think that band existed anywhere anymore.
Your interviews are fantastic.
I'm entering the rabbit hole.
@@moe2329 say more. What about her interviewing skills do you not like?
@@bumfuzzlebro I think the issue here is you don't like her style of interviewing people. She wasn't just trying to gather a whole bunch of facts to report on. She had some questions she wanted answered for herself, along with helping others out who may be starting their own channels. Gotta remember, shes not catering to the world, just her audience. Personal questions and showing a weakness like that is how you get a loyal fan-base. A lot of stuff from the real world that's pulled into TH-cam has to change form for it to be applied due to how easily people can interact with you and how easily it can effect your channel.
Great interview, won't be able to finish, its late at night in South Africa.
Probably catch it at a later time
Great job
giggity
@@bamarshmallow1 if you need a script of questions (her phone next to her) to interview Linus you've got problems
Phone fatigue is definitely a thing. I remember when people would wait overnight for the latest iPhone. Now it's not worth money to upgrade. Kind of like when computers completely changed at a rapid pace. Now it's much slower.
Yeah, I've got it bad too. Had an Android/Google-related blog from 2009 till last year and I lost interest in most tech things whilst that was going. Partially cause of other things too, but mostly cause tech companies are just too thirsty for attention and sell you shit you don't need, just by putting a bigger number on things that aren't important. Like 99% of phone specs. People are catching up to that slowly. They don't understand they're selling to actual people.
I do love stuff like new display tech and folding phones tho, but that's mostly cause I have huge hands and love smooth UI's. But what do I know, I still rock a Pixel 2 XL, and will till it dies. I hate doing anything on a phone, mostly cause I'm on a PC way more.
Moore's Law, that's all what you need to know
There is certainly phone fatigue. I used to upgrade my phones yearly, than it dropped to every two years, and now im sticking with my old iPhone X and i dunno when i upgrade. It works fine, it has enough performance for me, and the battery life is still good. Why should i upgrade? Not passionate about it anymore.
Funny enough though, i was tired of building computers for the last 10 years or so. I got my custom computers build by some store, but only every 3 to 4 years. Now i think about building my own rig for the first time in a decade again. It will be fun.
Yep, im still using a Note 4 and don't see myself upgrading anytime soon.
@@diabloO5O189 That's also unsafe though, unless you're using a custom rom that's more recent.
Linus: I signed a no poaching clause.
Riley: ...
he actually got hired after NCIX collapse i believe
@@lal12 everything would have been nullified when that legal entity didn't exist anymore.
@@RyanADillon Depends on the contract as NCIX still existed on paper, was just under administration and liquidation - If you remember Linus was intentionally cagey on the subject for 4 months afterwards
It was a 2y clause. Linus's been trying to get him for AGES, even before ncix collapsed...
@@ivo Source?
When the Incoming SMS white noise is actually a part of the vid and not the speakers, had to sevral times to make sure
R3tr0_Kami Gaming just wondering the same lol
As an Indian TH-cam viewer, I 100% agree with Linus said about Mobile Channels in India and what we have been going through in the last couple of years. That's why we love you Linus, spot on again.
Loved this podcast when it came out, so great to revisit! What Linus built with LTT is my biggest inspiration to run with YT "as a job", and you ask such good questions. TY!
Hey, it's Makers Muse. I love your 3D printing vids.
how do my favorite youtubers always seem to be in the comments of the video I'm watching?
Linus goes on podcast, nervous, first line:
"HEIL!"
way to go linus, nailed it.
I'm fairly sure that was "hi y'all"
I was more surprised by the fact he wasn't wearing his merch rather than what he said...
I heard "Hi El", like "Elena" or some shit.
Hi all*
@@DragonKnight077 *_LTTSTORE.COM_*
finally been waiting for months!
Look idk who you are, but I do know Linus. You really are one hell of an interviewer. You seem so passionate about talking, and didn’t ever take it over to keep him from sharing his insight. You have my subscription, and I hope you do incredibly well in the future.
At first I couldn’t remember why this felt so familiar from a long time ago. However now I remember listening to this on the creative exchange? I’m glad this is finally on video as well!
A long long time ago... I can still remember... how NCIX used to make me smile. Then I had my credit number stolen after an order to NCIX... twice. Probably a coincidence.
This was such an engaging listen.
I love how passionate Linus is
It's funny hearing Linus talk about new hires needing to wait a year to get in front of the camera. And here is Madison coming in and doing her thing before her probation is over.
Yes, but madison show up back then once and turns to be a fit in.
I love linus and this interview lets him shine and show what I have witness him grow over the start of lmg
THANK YOU for the full thing. I've never watched him being interviewed and this is an hour of it.
(LTT fan here)
Non verbal communication adds so much context to the conversation. Please always release these podcasts as video.
Yes like linuses face when she told him she dropped out at 3k subs
Linus: 19% Calc 100
Yess, someone worse than me!
I totally understand Linus' talk about his momentary excellence in certain activities. I'm sure many of us have encountered those moments. It's nice to know Linus is just like any of us and tries his best to make things work to the fullest of his extent. Inspiring.
Linus do be the OG
Got me into tech
Damn Linus married his tutor lmao
wow very refreshing with an interviewer who actually seems genuinely interested in the subject at hand
Please always post the full video, I wouldn't listen/watch otherwise...
Wow you did a really good job going back and forth with him. I dont think ive ever seen Linus talk so naturally and so long in an interview before. Im glad you got him talking and so open. Always fun to hear new stories about the past from Linus.
1:01:45 There's only 2 microprocessor companies out there. We know who you are referring to.
its intel isn't it?
Hearing Linus' story is really inspiring. This interview has also shown me how Linus is much more than a tech-head. His principles in running his company and even on issues discussed in this video is just spot on for me.
The interviewer does a great job here, fantastic interview!
I watch Linus because he is passionate, enthusiastic, honest, and very knowledgeable...and that carries over into the rest of his staff.
I will watch other channels on many other topics that have knowledge with enthusiasm to varying degrees, but Linus is at this time one of the best... he is also not crazy in any weird ways, or cocky. He is mild mannered and very real and beleivable human being. not putting on a show. So much of this world is fake, not just scripted, even if Linus is reading a script, he is not fake.
Linus is such a talker lol. It's so funny watching this after the MKBHD interview. So different lol
Your interviews are so much better than most I’ve seen in the past. You just flow so naturally, and dynamically venture into topics. It’s a pleasure to watch these.
This was one of the best interviews I've seen. Well done.
I had a similar experience. I went into college for 2 years for electrical engineering and I was into home audio. I was in a Physics class whee I had to figure out the dimensions of an ice cube over a given time and a given temperature. It took the front, back and the front of a second sheet of paper to work out the math, and said nope, then took 2 Graphic Design classes before I quit.
"Not everyone has a server at their house linus"
*r/homelab has joined the chat*
The point of this interview? Follow and live your passions!!! Thx!😃
First time viewer here. What a beautiful, soothing speaking voice to listen to.
Sara's isn't bad either ;)
A lot of people really don’t understand what computer science is going into it, and to be fair, it’s kind of hard to explain. CS is not about writing apps or building websites, it’s about understanding the conceptual, mathematical, and theoretical building blocks that make programming languages do what they do, and allow us to solve problems with them. Once you understand all of that, building an app is easy 😉
"But we can get fin.."
"No"
"But.."
"No, its only the brand"
"...huh"
Linus is very admirable for being a true entrepreneur. Had an idea, took a risk, worked his ass off (still does) and made it successful. Maybe I should move to Canada, seems like the American Dream is more alive there than in the US these days...
56:19 "It's all eyballs pointing at a screen."
(Laughs arrogantly listening to LTT in pocket while exercising.)
Loved this episode! Thanks for having Linus on.
I like how 6 years later, Linus still sounds salty about the conversation that gave him his career.
He worked his ass off, it was not given to him lmao. He quite clearly saw the direction NCIX was going, and lo and behold they go bankrupt a year or two later.
except it wasn't given to him? He worked for it. He saw that NCIX was a sinking ship and sure enough he was right, they went under.
cook a sock
Of course he still sounds salty. He loved ncix. He mentioned it in the interview. He loved the company for a long time and to end up leaving on somewhat bad terms because of a boss that's too shortsighted left a bad taste in his mouth. Even though that spat with that ceo was the thing that led linus to the career he has now it's still was upsetting to him to see a company he loved for so long go down the path to its own grave and he was powerless to do anything about it. Im pretty sure that if ncix didnt flop, linus would be segueing to ncix as their sponsors.
This Interview/Podcast is so good! How both of them moderate it and have like a 50/50 splitt of talking time. How Sara asks questions that trigger a nice story and actual conversation of a topic. The same with linus kind of interviewing her of her path, feelings and expectations!
Greatly done!
44:12 his face hearing her go to wechat as an example
VERY MUCH appreciate this longer, uninterrupted (without ads), organic feeling interview where the conversation between host and guest has the freedom to be explored in a variety of directions without being narrowly scripted. Nicely done. This was my first time on your channel and I'm glad I came across it. Also, as a long time fan of LMG, I enjoyed hearing this. Thank you!
44:40 That devilish smile of Linus :-D
Listening to Sara talk about her college experience at 18:33 really throws into sharp relief how broken the education system is. I mean obviously _she_ had the good fortune and presence of mind to ultimately land on her feet, but throughout her describing what she wanted from education and what she was being given, all I could think of was _this is a person crying out for a trade school, who probably never even realized that's what she needs_ . And if by some miracle she got over a lifetime of indoctrination with bullshit like 'trades are for people who can't get into college' and realized what she really needed, everyone in her life would have probably tried to talk her out of it.
Great glasses
This was a really good interview! Linus really shared himself here!
Her internship sounded more like a technician job than an engineering job
Edit: Not to judge or anything, engineering is not for everyone
For Linus to be a TH-cam Content Creation magnet, you Know he has to do well with the accessory parts of life.
Those a private, but it would be nice to just talk to Linus man-to-man, brother to brother. Like my High-school buddies
i would actually watch/listen to ur podcast if u put out the video of it.
Same, rather watch then only listen
AnyFunG isn’t this the video of it?
Gavin Remme - Yeah, but most of her weekly podcasts are audio-only. Also this podcast was uploaded in March 4, 2019 but the video got uploaded 2 weeks ago, prob bc it takes a long time to edit such a long video
@@maleknecibiIm a part time editor it does not take long to edit a podcast with no cuts XD
Malek Necibi ah, gotcha
I love the Jibo shirt. A lot of people at the company were understandably pissed with Linus because of his critical review. But Linus was simply keepin’ it real. He kept that up, and that is the key to his success today, no question about it.
This was a really great interview, thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching!!
This was such a well driven and informative interview : interviewer who lets guests speak, that's gold :-)
Great interview, Linus definitely has alot of insight and its cool that he talked about it.
When Linus whips out the Plex I'm like, "Oh, honey, you're about to learn right now."
When was that podcast made? A lot of things i've heard are all from Months back...
March 2019
At the beginning of the video it said March 4, 2019.
I've never seen this side of Linus before - really good to catch him "behind the scenes"! Subbed 👍
19:55 super relatable
Steve Wu:I should have listened to him....
This is why iMessage and iPhotos etc are great. Sure there are a lot of alternatives but having a simple eco system that the whole family who aren’t tech savvy at all can use is why I love it. I can create and share photo albums in iPhoto with a simple add and there’s very little chance that say my mother can mess that up, or I have to spend time on a IT phone call trying to tell her how to download and where to put all these photos.. for a tech head like Linus of course he probably prefers his other options but I think his blind spot is not seeing its advantages for all the no tech people out there. I love my tech but It’s a nightmare having to be an IT guy for your extended family just to share a photo album.
That quote though, 'I could stroke but could never find the rthym'. Story of my life bro, story of my life.
I just LOVE how Linus views the whole "iCloud" thing she brought up =)
Great content, great questions btw! Thx for this // I totally am used to these..."thumbnails". If it's necessary or better to use them, ffs - then do it. It has no impact on my viewing experience in any other way.
This video should be called Linus saves interview.
w0w I didn't realize it's 1yr already.. love that interview.. very inspiring 😊😊😊
Dang
Dang this was eye opening.
Sponsorships separated from Editorial Productions
Honest about irrelevancy of sponsors
Plex versus iCloud -> I had no idea!
Going to try plea because my iCloud is always full and never renewed 😅
Then statistics on videos, markets, industry trends, et cetera
I wonder if Linus’s or the team has read Factfulness?!
Establishing fun in productions
Also said, establishing the atmosphere for the audience. Similar to theater. 🎭
Yeah, duh! It’s inviting people into an experience. You two do great work on this.
Having Parameters for what makes a video Evergreen helps asses content.
Clickable thumbnail styles are a tactic that needs to be assessed just as any other strategies.
Channel for typical
Channel for evergreen
Channel for . . .
Just like Netflix helps people find their niche in stand-up comedy, TH-cam helps people find their niche in content. A brand can serve multiple niches segments into its own channel.
Probation Period acclimated the crew with the new member.
Then that new member is acclimated just as slowly with the audience.
Then being human, admiring mistakes as a brand, make plans to prevent those mistakes, and then actually behaving to prevent those mistakes.
Linked here; Casey Neistat also explained the necessity to be human on TH-cam:
th-cam.com/video/OzinZOLF9JE/w-d-xo.html
Linus would have helped out of generosity.
(Idk what the debacle was about.)
Sara & Linus are great at this.
Both were able to quickly dig deep into topics without stagnating.
P.S. I would LOVE to know ALL the behind-the-scenes to the social media presence that Sara briefly alluded to. The relationship dynamics, trial and errors, lessons, deals, negotiations, partnerships, efforts, everything. 👁🧠👁
Linus is next level. Dude deserves the respect and accolades 🔥
3:10 The response:
"You mad bro?"
@25:00 When they started talking about disclosure of sponsors I suddenly remembered that term 'native content' wonder why I stored that away in my brain.
Airdrop is literally just Bluetooth and WiFi, both things amazingly pre installed before iPhone and android ever existed
Yet no one else is using this like Apple. As far as i know.
@@rotojo2 I'd say no one sells it like apple does, as some sort of cool amazing innovation, when all other phones just do it as standard.
We say no to pay to win well all phones has bluetooth and wifi, so why dont other brands have their own version of airdrop and other features that apple is doing? Airdrop is crushing the standard way of sharing trough bluetooth or wifi. Much better experience = the amazing innovation of it since no one else is competing with it
@@rotojo2 'crushing' is a laughable over exaggeration, it's a useful feature if you and the person you are sending stuff too has the same phone brand, are within Bluetooth range and you have a WiFi connection (which isn't that good a WiFi connection, as that's the only reason it'd be helpful) and need something sent in seconds rather than in a few more seconds than that, as it's a marginal difference. And Samsung has Quick Share, and others exist too. To call it a competition is silly, non of these services have much effort put into them, and if any is better than the other, it's not going to be really noticeable or something too care about. However Quick Share is newer so that will be better, which is quite ironic from what you've said.
We say no to pay to win I use it to send to myself between my devices and its allot quicker and faster and better experience than sending files on android devices and not to mention the obstacle way of windows to share things..
I guess you havent used airdrop for your own devices? And you are wrong about not being fast... i can transfer hundreds of photos + few videos in just a minute +/- and by 1 click and i dont have to get annoyed by the OS structure that make my life difficult either lol
What others than quick share? And quick share must be very new, havent heard of even. If its going to be better it will need to use wifi 6 with better speeds if so. :)
Newer is not always better either!
