Inside the DETAILED Mind of

[@AdamTarin]

Jack I do hope you make so many of these cause they are incredible. Creatives talking about creativity is so rare and these convos have been incredible for me and my creative process

[@coscorrodrift]

bro PLEASE do another 5 hours, this was MAGICAL. something about seeing two late 30s/40s guys talk about art, being so sensitive and doing it so attentively and enthusiastically is something that is rare to see, it's pure magic, it's fuel, it's inspiration. The tension between being a maniac and "playing certain games" like the money/attention game is so palpable, what an incredible conversation man

[@stansabev]

It’s fells so precious, that I’m stopping the video and starting it, so it last a bit longer and hopefully I can retain more. Thank Jack and Van🙏🏻to taking the time.

[@MosheModeira]

Neistat brothers are the only reason I ever got courage to pick up a camera so seeing this and the Casey interview has been amazing. But Jack Conte. I have to tell you. You are a special, special human. Good work, thanks for these pieces.

[@calmthemonster]

The energy, the connection and the adrenaline in this conversation is just so awesome and addictive.

[@Dyalla]

Incredible conversation. The energy is contagious!

[@randyrektor]

Jack, you are such an incredible interviewer. Your questioning and anecdotes are so supporting to your guest. Great interview!

[@thatdetroitandy]

I think I rewound this a hundred times. Wonderful knowledge here.

[@GlynTaylor]

I love this guy. What he said about not wanting to study what the most popular trends are that keep people watching videos was awesome. People who do that just feed the machine that already exists. The magic is in the discovery of new things people will like

[@prakhardixit7630]

This video has some of the hardest hitting bro moments.... it's so amazing to watch two creative people sharing their love for creativity and fucking relating with each other so hard

[@TheMxSFxT]

My brain is exploding listening to this portion about Picasso v Saison & Quantity v Quality. What a way to frame it all! To shift ones perspective of this need for “consistency” as some kind of grind / hustle culture mentality, which makes it feel like some kind of daunting sacrifice of one’s artistic nature, over to a vantage point that says.. just practice and create in public. Because for every project lost during the “polishing” phase is also an opportunity lost for having created something, that in its rawest form, could outshine the most polished work you have to date. And you’ll only get better and closer with each attempt. It feels so obvious when it’s viewed like that. Thank you both. 🙏🏼 Hell of a chat to watch.

[@AuthenTech]

i have mad respect for Van and his videos. great interview, thanks so much for sharing

[@mattperillo]

Wow this is a great conversation, probably the best Van interview I've seen

[@LukeSeals]

You two are possibly my two favorite creators on the platform, such a treat to be able to hear you guys riff off each other. Can’t wait to see more of these

[@theianbarton]

wow this is one of my favorite interviews on youtube I love Van truly a special creative so much knowledge and wisdom here the real passion and energy behind you guys is rare in creators thank you.

[@DanielLight]

Love this.

[@ChromaMoma]

That was incredible! I love how genuine and honest these conversations are.

[@BettinaRae]

I’ve never enjoyed a video more. Thank you to you both. What a gift your work is. 🙏🏻💜

[@jason_swet]

Loved this convo. Especially Van’s perspective on pacing. Slowing things down. Let it breathe!!

[@TheFrenchWeddingTrumpeter]

loved this, thanks for sharing it. speaking as a trumpet player, I can absolutely resonate with 23:43, as Miles said, "don't play what is there, play what is not there"

[@drinkswhisky]

This is a fascinating conversation we got to sit in on and listen to, between two 'makers'. That they love to break it down, analyse it, circle back, and then go again. Two people who make art because they have to, thankfully they both want to share it with us!

[@VRwithAndrew]

Channels like Van's are so inspiring and raw, and it's incredible how strongly he feels about what details do and don't matter.

[@kennyobrien]

My two favorite Van videos are "Running Sucks" and "Fixing the Zip-Line Without Permission." I've lost count of how many times I've watched them. They are comfort videos for me. Jack, thank you for this interview!

[@braxtonhaugen]

Great conversation. Enjoyed listening to this.

[@1986shaneco]

You made me comfortable putting in silence and inserting clips that people dont understand at first. I appreciate your perspective Van. You have helped me grow my spirit.

[@WyattWoodley]

thank you sincerely for this video. perspective is everything. especially from artists.

[@ManueloHung]

This just made my day... the passion in every damn word is just contagious! Thank you both

[@jimmyeatshoe]

Woah. Mind blowing interview. I now don’t feel like an “odd ball” or “weirdo” so much when I get into my own flow state. It’s great to hear others talking about this stuff. Thank you!!

[@mcrump100]

This was great, the quantity > quality was spot on!

[@ObsiVision-Labs]

@10:27 exactly such a godsend to hear another person talk about this so candidly. My soul is contented.

[@sergioplanet]

That was really great. Thank you both

[@-paulmp]

Wow... just wow. I've only just come across your channel and the energy in this video is captivating. Two creatives breaking down their processes and discussing the hard questions and thoughts. Absolutely amazing format, I love it.

[@WeekendShedHead]

Fascinating interview.. and fantastic! I can relate hugely with tools going back to there home.. I often relate building/making/creating to sleepwalking (as in stepbrothers ‘movie’) trance like state! Where you wake up and.. WTF happened!! or even the morning after in the hangover movie! 😂 great video, big respect to Van and yourself 🙌! Cheers Rob 🇬🇧

[@ivan_valerian]

ONE OF THE GREATEST VIDEOS THAT I EVER WATCHED. Two mature men talking about art, filmmaking, and being connected on a spiritual level in general. I love both Neistat brothers, but I can't help but see that Van is the better talker and just the way that he's so excited and INTO the conversation is just so admirable

[@richowensIII]

Wow, what a great conversation!

[@designisblank]

This is AMAZING context for what hits you both in the feels. Resonates and I will continue to be inspired by you both in my early creator journey. And congrats to everyone that has somehow found this video. How does this not have way, way more views?

[@borisdunand]

Again... wow... 🤩 Funny note: I feel like Casey played the game, and with generosity, but he didn't really care, he just went with and agreed to your proposition, while here Van seems to be very engaged and you both are entering a state of intense creativity, enjoying each other's idea and reflection, building something of a tale around art together, with a lot of joy and excitation, in synch, and with a certain euphoria to talk about your favorite subject... I felt like I was with you two, and was almost as excited than you both ! Thank you again Jack... 🙂🙂🙂

[@finnd4053]

I scrolled down to see if someone else had made this observation. I'm halfway through this interview and I am enjoying it a lot more than Casey's.

[@borisdunand]

@@finnd4053 ☺️👍

[@canadude6401]

I love Casey and his creations on KZbin, but Van is extra special...a true soul and heart filled creator. KZbin has had a long line of creators looking to cash in. There is and will always be room and demand for authentic real people like Conte and Van. This video was so engaging

[@SuzetteMorrow]

THIS! I wanted to be in this convo so bad! I feel like fed as an artist.

[@pearce05]

I also think the way they approach their art makes it so these interviews would inevitably go the way they did. Casey is the Picasso to Van's Cezanne. While Van is reading books and watching films to improve, Casey is just creating more. So while Van tends to reflect and think his way through the artistic process, Casey just brute forces it. Van can tell you why he did something because he can remember where he found the inspiration, whereas Casey can't easily tell you which parts of the thousands of hours of imperfect footage led him to a particular choice he makes.

[@SecondWindWorkshop]

Huge Van Neistat fan here (and Patron) and this interview was outstanding. I listened while working on building a custom Dremel station with some serious Spirited Man flare to it. Looking forward to more of these interviews Jack.

[@galenanderson2541]

I just adore using the Creative. Makes me feel so Creative. Im special. And very humble. And by the way: Art!!!

[@revevague6256]

Van's channel is my absolute favorite. He's such an inspiration to artists like myself. So glad you two met up and recorded this!

[@HEY-ITS-COREY]

This is one amazing conversation. My last video actaully talks about doing what you want versus the doing what the algorithm wants. This makes me so happy to hear two people who I admore so much having the same conversation. I have this feeling your channel is about to pop DIgital Spaghetti. I hope it does, you do great work.

[@filipedrumond]

This is gold! Thanks Jack! ❤

[@jonlosito2004]

Van is so underrated in my opinion. And I swear... There's nobody else like him. He's one of the best creators in the world!!

[@NorthWales93]

Beau miles is another amazing creator that scratches my itch.

[@AM2PMReviews]

its crazy how much I learned from these interviews. love Van and Casey and its like they have a lineage from other film makers to me...a youtuber.

[@JackSather]

This was an AWESOME conversation, you guys were so LOCKED IN haha

[@RudeCanine]

JACK SATHER!!!!

[@DeanSpinks]

This series is fantastic. Jack you have a knack for asking the right question at the right time to get these creatives to really unpack their process. There's something disarming in your body language that really shows how much of a fan you are of their work, you can see how excited this makes Van, and it also makes me more invested as a viewer. Bravo, more please 👏

[@willmiddlebrooks7]

Beginning to recognize true mastery in the artist or craftsman when I enjoy hearing them speak about their process as much as witnessing their creations.

[@prayash]

Brilliant insight into the mind of a total genius. Love Van's work, and love what you do Jack. Huge (new) fan of this channel. Thank you!!

[@xtreamchance]

Van's work is like a huge magic spell that takes time to coalesce and unspool and enrich and take root. Candace said Van was the most talented Neistat brother...and it's that hugeness of mind...I liken it to this, Casey's eye is very near-sighted in that what you see is dynamic and right in front of you...where Van's eye is far-sighted and you see his route has taken him past pluto and back, so there's a trip, as Jack notices, where stretches of silence occurs, but that silence is as much part of the music as the notes. When Van said in the Niestat Brother series, "Strength is Casey's first Superpower." That was an estimation by not only a brother but a masterful eye of true impartiality. Van's third eye records dispassionately all around and his soul, which is such a feeling soul, rationalizes what he observes with what he feels and that's the elegance of his story telling. He sees the turning of the world, every generation, and yet there are emotions tied to that. How will the two reconcile? That is the journey of the spirited man.

[@bradynshock]

Oh my God this channel scratches an itch i didn't know i had. Jack, great call. This is awesome.

[@CoreyWagnerChicago]

I've had this video on my list of videos to watch for awhile and now that I've finally gotten to it, it's soooo worth it!

[@kooshypir]

I wish I could like this video a thousand times. I learned more in this 48min then all of film school. 🤩

[@JeremyPuren]

This one was soooo fun to watch!! You guys really clicked it feel

[@chriswilson5174]

Excellent stuff Jack, I'm a huge fan of Van, really enjoyed the dynamic back and forth between you two, testament to your excellent interviewing style. Looking forward to watching more

[@kellersefi]

You two had fun talking and you successfully transmitted that fun feeling to me. Good job.

[@fabiogarcezc]

Easily one of the best conversations I've ever watched. Genuinely inspiring. Thank you.

[@RetroBreak]

Brilliant, thought provoking conversation! I was struggling with the quality vs quantity debate too, stuck with quantity for now, and definitely seen an improvement over the past few years!

[@benhealy]

Two of my all-time favorite creators talking about their craft is so inspiring. Jack, thank you for making this show and for having Van as a guest.

[@mattsitsback]

8 minutes in, this is so fun to watch. these two convey things so well.

[@trade1574]

jack you are a gift from heaven, i hope you make more videos like this with more artists. art is the artist's way of transmitting their emotion, thank you for going to them and explain that emotion. I've only watched casey's and this video but I'm already hooked by how much I'm moved by everything, thank you for the level of detail you put into with the question, you turn cinematography even more exciting to watch and do.

[@madisontompkins3749]

Keep 'em coming Jack! Loved the last one and can't wait to hear what Van's got to share!

[@melodiebilodeau]

This video is one of the most intellectually stimulating/reassuring/awakening piece of work I've ever watched. 48 minutes is TOO SHORT. I am a kindergarten teacher. Among other things, I will now be teaching with "the breath" in mind, and will also teach my kiddos ABOUT the breath. Thank you Jack for introducing me to Van. Please keep doing this!

[@andrewdotcom6770]

this is the best interview i’ve ever seen

[@DevinFerreira]

Another great interview! Well done!

[@NomadOverNormal]

Jesus man, I’ve watched a few of these - maybe the wheezy waiter one started it. But damnit you’re exceptional. I’m really happy that you give as much to the conversation as the guest. That probably goes against every podcast 101 idea out there, but because you’re you - I loved it. I feel like if you were a different person, I wouldn’t - and I only just met you from this video. Bravo. Someday when I’m bigger I’ll want to come on your show. But what you’re building here is exceptional!

[@OuterFeeling]

This was an absolute joy to watch, you guys speak amazingly together.

[@creator_yo]

You two really connect well together. I loved the vibes going while the conversation. Great interview!❤”🎉

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

It’s comforting and disturbing just how much I relate to everything you both touch on.

[@HarmsHouse]

I came here to learn. Got that and more. Thanks for having this conversation!

[@brechtlenaerts]

This is an amazing interview... Thank you so much!

[@enrique.garcia]

Opened this knowing nothing about this channel and I knew it had to be good as soon as the patreon guy popped up

[@AutismTwinsUs]

Great video and really shows how different Van and Casey are but both come to the same conclusion, mastermind filmmakers

[@MrLucas171]

This got me so fucking inspired! Thanks to both of you, and never stop creating and sharing your art to the world

[@jerbear7952]

To the point of laughter and conveying emotion, watch some musicians when they are just having fun. It is common to see someone laugh when another musicians surprises them with something tasty. Laughter is the ultimate expression of novelty imo.

[@MikeDancy]

I find Van so interesting because I can relate. I would spend all day taking things apart and re-building them if money wasn't an issue. Then I'd record it :)

[@bashfoal]

i appreciate how much homework there is for this video. detailed mind indeed.

[@ArtAndPrevailing]

This was just wonderful. I appreciate the both of you for your openness about your art. You both tell stories in unique ways and I find them fascinating. Keep going - you’re doing great work. ❤

[@versus.44]

amazing questions as always, great work!

[@ldelosrios]

This one is the best Van Neistat interview on the Internet.

[@ShinnKawasaki]

What a fantastic conversation and a much needed perspective shift. Artistry happens in the wandering. ❤

[@ryandury]

24:32 - Podcastception! Incredible conversation. Thank you.

[@aadityaseal]

Dude got the skills to bring out the real gold! 🤝

[@SuzetteMorrow]

These talks are good for my soul! Thank you!

[@thecjcollective]

Absolutely loving these episodes, brilliant questions, brilliant creatives. Excellent content

[@alijacoba]

Inspiring conversation, thank you 🙏

[@jd2rs]

This channel is amazing

[@sethtreiman91]

I love van and I love jack what a treat this is

[@AndrewSamaniego]

Jack, this video is one those that is going to “stick”. Keep it up, both you and Van are inspirations to my creativity 🫡

[@isaacfulmer]

This is your second video I’m watching, watched the one with Casey yesterday. These are great! The channel has grown about 1k subs in a day! 📈

[@SuzetteMorrow]

I did the same thing!

[@motorcyclediaries9131]

Loved this one.. I love van

[@bnf82]

Thank you both for this!

[@stevetorster]

PLEASE upload these on podcast platforms. these videos are so valuable!

[@SuzetteMorrow]

Jack, I have been a fan since I watched you play the kid size toy piano. I’m super glad I ran across this channel from the Casey interview.

[@pedronordskog]

Superb work! Great conversation!

[@anthonydauer]

Quantity develops ability and hones skill. Malcolm Gladwell’s “Blink” and “Outliers” has some good anecdotes relating to this. “It takes ten thousand hours to truly master anything. Time spent leads to experience; experience leads to proficiency; and the more proficient you are the more valuable you’ll be.” - Malcolm Gladwell

[@pat_makes_stuff]

This is an incredibly valuable interview. Well done

[@andrewcampbell7011]

The mutual vibe was so strong here. Great interview.

[@Tavisola]

Jack sitting with one of Van Neistats pens, that he for sure gifted him, is just so great.

[@JesseNyberg]

Amazing interview Jack!

[@Keatingeatworld]

this put me in a trance state of learning :)
