Casey Neistat is a film maker and entrepreneur who started on you-tube in 2010. He was born in Gales Ferry, Connecticut on March 25, 1981 and moved to Manhattan, New York City when he was 20. More recently he has founded a video sharing platform called Beme and has crossed 1 billion views on you-tube. He has had massive success and he has been taking advantage of his name recognition by making connections with large businesses, like Samsung or Sony for instance. He has made very eye opening videos about his average day and after watching them I would credit Neistat’s work ethic and personality for his success. He is always working or spending time with his family. He has made his hobbies into his work, and thoroughly enjoys what he does. This video by Nerdwriter1 is a favorite of mine because of how well he explains what makes Neistat’s videos so great.
Just saw that we both wrote on Neistat, and I’m glad to read someone elses thoughts too! Also I love Nerdwriter1 and this video in particular, great in depth look at how much time and commitment something as seemingly simple as vlogging demands.
Oh nice, yeah I recently started watching his vlogs this year. I had heard of him before then from my cousin but I never saw myself watching any vlog. I have a lot of respect for Neistat now. He has a unique and inspiring way of living. And yes he puts a lot of time and effort into his videos, and most importantly himself. He pours himself into his work making every video another piece of art that allows the watcher to explore the person of Casey Neistat. He has found a way to make it personal without actually giving away lots of unneeded personal information. He keeps his personal life a safe distance from his work which a lot of youtubers should learn about.
