Casey Neistat is one of the true pioneers of the creator economy. But perhaps unlike some of today’s stars, Casey used YouTube not to seek out fun and fame but as a vehicle for monetizing individual creativity, long before that was an industry itself. No conversation with Casey bypasses his experiences as one of the most prolific YouTube creators of all time; this one focuses on how he’s diversified since his rise on the platform.
