0:00.0	Hey guys, this is Ben. This is my first interview episode, and I hope you enjoy it.
0:04.5	But in addition, it's also my first episode that I'm releasing on YouTube.
0:08.2	So if you'd prefer to watch rather than listen to this episode, you can go ahead to the first link in the show notes and watch this episode on YouTube.
0:15.3	Even if you don't want to watch, I would really appreciate it.
0:17.5	If you click on that link and go hit subscribe and follow me on YouTube. It really helps the channel get in front of more people. Anyways, thanks and here's the
0:25.4	episode. Here on how to take over the world, I share the stories of the greatest men and
0:31.9	women throughout history in order to learn from them, their strategies, tactics, habits, mindsets,

1:04.5	He was about to create his first major successful cartoon, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and he was
1:08.8	still a few years away from creating Mickey Mouse.
1:11.5	By contrast, Jimmy Donaldson, aka Mr. Beast, at age 25, is already the most followed person
1:16.8	on YouTube. At the time of this recording, he has more than 215 million followers. He has a business
1:22.5	and media empire that is valued at billions of dollars, and his trajectory just continues to go up
1:27.3	and up.
1:28.3	And I'm not saying that Jimmy is going to be more successful than Walt Disney or leave
1:33.1	behind a bigger legacy. I am just saying that right now, looking at the numbers, he is ahead
