EP 11. From Child Actor to MrBeast's Right Hand & 10 Billion Views With Brady Edward

Ever wondered what it really takes to break into the YouTube world and dominate it?
On this episode of The M.I.N.T. Project, we sit down with Brady Edwards, founder & CEO of Biggest Agency and the former video director behind MrBeast’s meteoric rise from 25M to 75M subscribers (yes, that MrBeast). With over 10 billion views under his belt and a track record of building world class content for elite creators and brands, Brady brings the receipts and the playbook.

We go deep into his unlikely journey:
➡️ Growing up a child actor on Disney Channel & Nickelodeon
➡️ Obsessing over YouTube before anyone saw its power
➡️ How one bold video submission (to a fake job posting) changed his life
➡️ Moving in with MrBeast during the pandemic and what it really takes to run the biggest channel in the world
➡️ Designing your own reality instead of letting others do it for you
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to create content that lands or you’re just beginning and wondering where to start this is the episode you need.
