YouTuber Mark Rober on the creator economy, subscriber growth and launching satellite into space

[@dgoddard]

Literally picked the worst 2 people to host this conversation. Thank goodness Mark was there to keep it alive.

[@Innerbrave]

Why are they questioning and picking down at this entrepreneur's product, whose product they are promoting and booking on the show? How is this a winning concept for CNBC? Idk it just felt a little dystopian. Progress is coming, and kids knowing the engineering is essential, especially in the US, and this product seems pretty good towards that goal.

[@TheOnlyName]

Yeah not sure why he went on the mainstream media

[@codingparas]

Love how he called "brains reached", rather than "customers reached". Interesting!

[@catatonicbug7522]

Mark Rober is a national treasure! I'd say he needs a TV show, but that would limit his reach and creative genius. I'm 47, love his videos, and I really want to get his boxes for my grandson. Hopefully, I can scrape together the $300 soon.

[@fizzyfee12]

Hosts are REALLY showing their age, and the male host needs to be more open minded

[@apidas]

give them a break, they're used to see billionaires entrepreneur

[@HippieP629]

Yea he couldn't have been less interested if he tried

[@bastionwolf]

Honestly I'm not even sure why they had the guy host. I'm only halfway through and it's tough listening to him. He's literally the exact opposite of the target demographic but exactly the kind of person mark wants to show, anybody can learn this with the right tools.

[@mxvortex2341]

It's a shame Mark didn't get a good interview because he's so engaging. He clearly is more passionate about the engineering and science behind his channel and crunchlabs than the revenue and yet that seemed to be all they asked about.

[@seanloughran6714]

"You GET to build it!" It's so true, I love my hackpacks and they're so much fun. The decorations are so clear, anyone can do it step-by-step.

[@christiannielsen3863]

Did they prepare NOTHING for this interview? this was a total waste of a interview opportunity.

[@muhamadfaizalias858]

this probably a paid slot by mark

[@pileofstuff]

@@muhamadfaizalias858 He doesn't need their airtime that much.

[@ExistentialExperienceMusic]

Mark's passion for education and creativity shines through despite the hosts' focus on profits. It's clear his heart is in the right place, inspiring the next generation. The interview could have been so much more if it delved into the educational impact rather than just the financials.

[@BryanMoore15]

I’m over 30 and love his videos - such brilliant content that adults can love alongside kids. He’s like modern Pixar

[@CitizenKate]

I love what Rober is doing. So inspiring!

[@chrisli7358]

I think the hosts are missing the point here, they seem more interested in the financials and profitability of this company as well as the scalability, but miss the point that this is just an extension of his KZbin videos where he is trying to educate folks through large-scale videos. The videos are the true branding and money-maker for him not necessarily the boxes

[@spencerbrady2425]

They ask about financials because it’s CNBC. That’s what their viewers want

[@benjaminhayte4131]

Yes money is king for those hosts. They don't knowledge that he offers donations option for kids that can't afford it ! NOOOOO .. They go straight to "Are you willing to be a billionaire ?" "Yes you do, yes you do !!!!!!" Pathetic people !!!

[@HippieP629]

They're capitalistic robots. Expect nothing more

[@YouthfulOne]

The segment was called “Creator Economy” so they were talking financials. As a huge MR fan and subscriber I support what he’s doing and the value of it. Irrespective of the differences in agenda, the hosts were doing their job and Mark knew, having been there before what that was. I’m guessing he had to bringing in a sizable amount of revenue before he could begin to offer his build boxes to those unable to afford it. I’m pleased to see that he’s beginning to get there. TBH that was what I had hoped for at the outset.

[@PeteQuad]

What, no one should talk about financials, even on a show dedicated to finances? Or do you mean that shows about finances should not exist?

[@rosannav5]

Mark you are incredibly wonderful! Thank you for thinking of those who are less fortunate! AWESOME!

[@rv9497]

Love Mark. Great guy I'm a subscriber

[@simrans3675]

So?

[@airwolfgunner]

Typical dystopian cable TV hosts so out of touch with reality and recognizing a good thing

[@michaelmalloy2399]

Mark: "we know this works, we know this gets kids stoked" and at the same time the male host telling everyone he can't do it, why does he do that? why is it OK to be scared of IT and be "too dumb". Really wish he would have said "can't wait to try it".

[@TomTom-cm2oq]

Spot on comment. This should be to rated.

[@20nar]

It's downright pathetic how these dimwitted hosts are so obsessed with the company's profits and scalability, completely blind to the fact that it's just an extension of his KZbin channel where he educates people through massive projects. The real branding and money come from the videos themselves, not the worthless boxes they're fixated on.

[@stocksandrich1369]

The creator economy has a lot of potential.

[@johnchen0213]

it's easier said than done.

RISE AND SHOUT ! another BYU guy making his mark...

[@RamiPapas]

This is a fresh take on new guests.

[@ChintanCG]

He first partnered with kiwico who were already doing this and launched his own thing on similar lines

[@LucariosTrainer]

And here I thought his hat was glued to his head

[@kronosaurelius]

Probably the wrong channel to say this. But if you are an engineer you live in a time when many very profitable business models can be started with zero investment.

[@matt.stevick]

mark rober is the jensen of youtube nerds

[@Dhejdjskd]

Don't insult Jensen.

[@matt.stevick]

@ lol

[@TomTom-cm2oq]

You ended this video in the middle of his sentence? Week

[@williambarrow3476]

You can tell Mark lives on the West Coast, as he seems pretty tired.

[@TheOnlyName]

Lol why did Mark go on the mainstream media 💀

[@tiffanylee3634]

I can't. I worked as a PA in the newsroom and graduated to producer and this talent clearly doesn't have the awareness, understanding and compassion for the subject matter and or the guest. It's frustrating to watch because they know prior whose going to be on the show. Thankfully Mark took it all in stride. Hopefully, he gets on another news show that understands his talent, demographic and passion.

[@lizhenderson9804]

I took my so long for a referral to a specialist to go through, I thought they'd forgotten to send it. And I once had a surgery scheduled so far in advance they couldn't do the surgery by the time it rolled around

[@lidarman2]

So they didn't let him on with the reversed baseball cap?

[@Jonathan-mp3ju]

Capitalism at its best! Happy for his success and getting this generation interested in STEM.

[@SurfaceLinx]

Calling out Neal, how about respect the people who built your base.

[@realistminimalist83]

Creativity is worth billions. CNBC business can't see that.

[@WuhSuhDood]

Mark is looking rough

[@Innerbrave]

Lol why are you all being mean? He just looks a little tired, you gotta be driven in and waiting in an area for the TV shoot, I can understand looking that way. I do the same facial hair thing as him sometimes, and I don't think it looks great on TV, but it's his thing and the makeup people weren't gonna shave him down.

[@apidas]

this is the first time actually I see mark without his hat on

[@DJjussi1]

lol old dude on his phone

[@Dimaz42]

Mark could use some sleep

[@sarahfisher5719]

I hope Mark doesn't sell out to investors, that would just make things worse.

[@OneDayAtATime1277]

He mentioned he'd never do that.

[@bastionwolf]

It's seriously gross how all the hosts can think and talk about is money. Reminds me why the news is barely worth the watch. Even when the guest is truly something special.

[@thisismytubehandle]

That was a horrible interview. They were so money focused. It felt like investigative journalism than an interview. Like he's profiting off kids and harming families. "So you are looking for potential investors?" After asking if he's worth billions

[@spacecityerlan]

Yeah the hosts didn’t help with this video at all

[@Mellowyellow8888]

Rober needs to put his CEO/businessman hat on when he's on CNBC.. not his scientist/engineering hat.. should point out many technical specialists make terrible businessman..

[@koijoijoe]

Yea Steve Jobs SUCKED at business. Too bad cause he could've created one of the most valuable companies in the world...

[@Mellowyellow8888]

@@koijoijoe lol. i pointed out MANY technical specialists.. not ALL.. worked with many PhD's.. that were terrible in a business setting.. not all technical folks are cut out for the business side..

[@TheRangerBob]

How about STEAM - add ART to STEM.

[@spencerbrady2425]

The whole reason they made STEM was to highlight these subjects and draw attention to the important jobs that can shape the future. We just need more stem graduates. ART IS VERY IMPORTANT. But the arts are just observers of the world, not drivers of it. It’s easy to support as a school because graduates of Science Technology Engineering and Math programs earn wildly more than people that study art. ART IS IMPORTANT (just not as important as STEM). If anything we should add a B for business in there somewhere. STEMB? B-STEM?

I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 185K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.

[@AnastasiaAngelinaPetrova]

As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.

[@JoseLopez-lf9rw]

I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market..

[@AnastasiaAngelinaPetrova]

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

[@JoseLopez-lf9rw]

Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.

[@TomEdwardi]

how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking??

Don't take investments

Hope he makes more videos exploiting poor people.
