Ben and I were both the first ambassadors for Tiktok in 2019 and it’s crazy to see how much he’s grown! He’s always been so unique and a creative talent! Not even surprised slightly by his success! Congrats Ben!

I was really impressed by how intelligent and well-spoken he is. He also has strong critical thinking skills, and it shows in his commentary on his content. This was a particularly interesting interview.

The "unalive" bit with Colin not understanding had me in stitches .. too funny!!!💛

Won't find a smarter, funnier, more talented, creator than Ben. So happy y'all featured him!!

Man, really been gleaning a lot from ya’ll’s conversations with creators. Super helpful content as I try to grow and effectively use this platform. Plus it’s entertaining!

Great job guys! Really appreciate the openness and humility that everyone showed. Once a creative, always a creative. And no one can take that away from us.

I took a peek on his channel and it's a contrast to him on this interview. He's a much sensible young man in this episode. Learned new things as a creator. Nice episode! :)

I won’t lie, this is the only, if not one of the few channels where I watch each episode till the end, always an interesting conversation to take in

Love to see Ben on here! Definitely didn’t expect that, what a lovely suprise and conversation, i love how you guys dove into conversations about sides on the internet that Ben grew up on. Being the same age as Ben i can heavily relate and understand the climate that used to be on youtube. Also Ben is a treat to the eyes and the absolute cutest!!
Awsome video :)❤

Love the open and honest conversation with Ben. Such a great example to just use the tools and things you have and to not even let tech ever get in the way. Well done Colin and Samir for another excellent conversation.
