You can tell the interviewer did her research and was genuinely interested. Loved this!!

im so proud of her omg

[@peachxblue]

Emma’s outfit is giving the “business” outfit she used to wear in her very first KZbin spon con ads :D

[@1783W]

I totally forgot about that haha

[@cherilynsing7280]

its giving Candace Ian from mean girls

Those were hilarious, miss that

[@theTaliaDay]

Emma in the suit just killed me. We all know she was laughing when she picked this out and then called it iconic. I ADORE HER.

[@grayshoeprints]

This is a very smart move on her part because as gen z grows into full adulthood they will reach for chamberlain coffee rather than nespresso or Folgers

[@jramsey9690]

Doubtful. Her attention span isn’t long enough.

[@Olya0907]

I appreciate the interviewer! Professional and nice

[@chriswilfrid]

They both pretty ❤

[@trackmaster232]

It's like she's on a high school interview assignment. Very sweet

[@Celestial.Experiences]

her MUA really did her dirty though (literally lol)

[@Corey_ceo]

not very much of a conversation though. felt like she was awkwardly listening. or maybe just too much blush. idk. I feel the interviewer is nervous or not matching Emmas energy, at the end she said thanks for taking the time to chat but it didn't feel chatty, it felt like 21 questions lol

[@ricardoheinsar3105]

Professional but boring, doesn’t know how to talk to people/keep the interviee interested. The questions are too long and 5 questions in one question

[@arlesbarkly]

emma's clearly a very rare kind of person. a truly inspiring role model. hearing her speak is a gift. anyone who doesn't like her is missing out!

[@ose5226]

I love how serious these questions are, not fluff. I love to see Emma growing and evolving.

[@lekya22]

This was prolly the best interview I've seen. She asked very interesting questions that we as viewers would want to know and Emma's answers were transparent!

[@cassandrafarquhar7354]

Watch her on hot ones. That is the best interview. Sean matches his guests energy and it makes it so enjoyable to watch

[@lekya22]

@@cassandrafarquhar7354 I have watched her on hot ones. I think she was on there twice now but I definitely liked the questions being asked here more!

[@manwol8718]

shes only 22?!! 😮 she speaks so matureee

[@TheDarkHorseOfSocialMedia]

😁

[@harpazoseason]

Literally thought she was thirty

[@AllaboutTheCalm478]

she reads books that helps

[@mcnoneya]

Plus she’s accomplished sooo much at such a young age. I mean she owns a large and legitimate business not just a collar with a business but an actual consumable product that she helped create and build. She didn’t just slap her name on something, and her passion for business will help her go far in her career. Many people even older adults find the minute, nitty, gritty details boring and often just gloss over them or put them on someone else.

[@wendythebaker]

I forget every time

Forbes, Emma is a gem that inspires us all. Thank you for sharing!

[@Haileyyyoung]

She is the most genuine and authentic person on the youtube world tbh. So proud of her as if she is my daughter(im 25 lol) love her wholesome personality❤❤

I think that is the best interview with Emma Chamberlain that is out there.

[@kj3735]

I absolutely loved this interview. I love how Emma is growing up and discovering what her current passions are. She expresses in the very end how she doesn’t know where this love of business has come from. And everything in her life is the opposite. I think, as a KZbin creator starting out, it was all creativity. It was art. She got to play and be herself & she was a kid. She has smart parents, and a team around her. Because she really understood the business aspect of KZbin and then catapulted that into Chamberlain coffee. It’s almost as if she went to “Street” business school. Instead of sitting in a classroom. She definitely experienced it in real life and she is probably gonna be more successful because she didn’t learn it from a textbook. She’s a very smart woman. I like how she’s collaborated with young businesswoman. I pray she is successful and continues to pay it forward. Great job Emma 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼☕️

[@CrownCastleCollective]

Emma is such a great model for the current generations. I'm 26 & hope all women and girls see her as an absolute Icon. She got it right with how she handled her transition into adulthood and now she is gonna have sooooo much success. Home girl deserves it all. Also her outfit is giving director vibes, along with her current favor to long form videos - I have no complaints. Keep bossin Miss Chamberlain 💅🏻

[@JetLagRecords]

Forbes, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

[@charliedimanche3851]

Excellent interview. Shout out Alex York for a truly interesting interview.

[@khinthirikyaw3993]

Her dad is very supportive. I love that. Being yourself is the main important thing

[@elifcantemuroglu177]

I hope she will direct or produce some sort of document or movie or something, ı like how she edits simple videos and turns them kind of an art scene

[@ceciliawalker3221]

why did no one straighten her bowtie sos

[@Jlightb]

lol it’s cute tho

[@babandeeprathore]

maybe that's the look she's going for

Por que nem tudo na vida precisa ser “perfeito” e talvez a gravata represente a personalidade dela. 🤗

[@kaitlyngoodwin825]

Also i love how involved emma is in her company 😊 she’s so wise

[@mariabella19]

And I love that it was something she was genuinely doing at like 16 in her parent's kitchen. She was always making coffee. She really loved it, the project came from a real passion and that makes all the difference.

[@kaitlyngoodwin825]

i’m so proud of emma, her pipeline is honestly so fascinating and inspiring.

[@vikiehr5563]

The journey from KZbin to building her own coffee brand is truly impressive. ☺

[@TheDarkHorseOfSocialMedia]

💯

[@TheLadygrl]

This is a great interview. I would disagree with her last point that she doesn’t have the personality of businesswoman. I work in investment banking and our biggest sharks have 2 distinct sides. One side sends dumb memes in lighthearted email chains, the other gets it DONE. She also possesses this duality. The way she speaks about her product and the Retail experience comes from passion and a deep knowledge of all facets of her business. She presents her information in a compelling and interesting way. Love to see it.

[@Bri-ry2ot]

I found it interesting how she said she is more aesthetically driven now than she was when she was a kid, I think i just realized that can hold me back sometimes. I worry and fuss too much over aesthetic and it limits the amount of content im producing in the world lol

[@suelyons531]

She is authentic which is why younger viewers love her. I'm not surprised by her incredible success.

AMAZING VIDEO!! Love her

[@celestialynx]

It is a pity that the company is completely neglected on the European market. Half of the regular products are missing, seasonal or new products are completely absent or only a few limited items are available. Customer service is non-existent - I asked about the availability of my favourite coffee twice and never got an answer.

[@david88va]

Why does this feels like two kids having a pretend adult conversation 😅

[@gloomerang1]

So much foreshadowing and a bit of teasing here for new upcoming amazing content from Emma. Our girl IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER

[@tara1638]

Emma please do more decaf blend for cold brew and def do a coffee alternative. My fav is dandy blend!❤

[@rmannayr2129]

SO PROUD OF HER!

[@maggiefess9126]

I prefer dark chocolate & coffee that is less sweet. I really enjoyed her premade latte. Mr Beast talks about how he wanted to make the first flavor of Festables chocolate dark chocolate because that’s what he likes, but he realized that a larger majority of the population prefers milk chocolate so that’s what he went with. It’s so challenging running a business where you want to make everyone happy, but everyone has different preferences so it becomes nearly impossible. If you’re giving it your best, thats all you can do.

[@christianviiperi]

You just know Emma would be your best friend just by watching this. Great job Forbes!

[@AlyssaTaylorBoo]

I love seeing Emma’s business side but I am a little confused about people saying this is the best interview ever. Seems like they were on a bit of a time crunch - as I felt like there was no flowing banter at all or any chemistry really between the two. The “definitely and - “ onto the next question for every single question just always feels a bit uncomfortable. Maybe just nerves and time strains! But it did feel slightly too stale for how Emma likes to do things - even if she is presenting her mature business side.

[@jasminem0602]

Gosh I love her so much!

[@bluejuiceist]

So refreshing to hear a conversation and interview that doesn’t include “and like” every 5 second’s from a young person 😅

Emma is so clever. I respect her even she is just 22. So interesting and inspiring interview I've ever seen.

[@nennabernice]

I love how Emma is able to tell us that the change of edit in her videos is her growing up herself. I definitely feel like her not continuing to thrive in the education system is playing a big part in her life. Many of our lives as well. I believe the education system definitely teaches humans to mature and somewhat know how the world is changing. And I’m glad she had enough motivation to change by herself and to become more of an adult. (Btw I’m not hating on her bc she didn’t want to continue her education lol)

[@despoina1543]

Great interview 🎉❤

[@artvandelayvii5617]

As a fan of Emma, I am low key offended with whomever wrote the description for this video and scripted the interview answers. Please don’t tell me EC is still the relatable girl next door while presenting this image of business mogul of a an expensive coffee brand wearing high fashion sitting in a well appointed kitchen being interviewed by Forbes magazine. Fr?? Do they think we are stupid? Check this! Plus I was also surprised car/jen was referenced. So not it in what I would expect EC branding to be imo. Ppl are out here struggling and we are expected to buy into this too? Just stop the all the ‘relatable’ branding nonsense and then I could possibly be down with that. This messaging and act are not genuine. To be fair, it’s not possible to not change as we emerge into adulthood. It’s good and normal. Just accept it and brand accordingly.

[@GemStar79]

Always interesting and inspiring. I love how you had the guts to just go do it. I knew Emma, you’re definitely one to watch and see what’s happening next! Keep bringing it 🎉

[@st3458]

Emma is honestly THE influencer a lot of other influencers should take notes from she went from regular unknown KZbinr to every other popular KZbinr to a list celeb and she really shows people that you can grow ur platform and ur content as you grow and also if ur known for something in ur vlogs or videos make a business out of it and actually fully be involved in the brand that you make

[@ose5226]

It's interesting you say this cos there was a time when almost every vlogger/ person on KZbin was trying to copy her but she has redefined herself and branched out more successfully than other people which to me, reflects her relatability. I remember how fast she grew, it was quite unreal.
