Y'all dug up his THESIS?? Hank is one of the most mediatized people I know and I'm not sure anyone has done that. Fantastic interview as usual, C&S&team - thank you.

Hank explaining how to escape creating ā€œcar crashesā€ by focusing on connections was so well articulated. One of the best podcasts yall have uploaded

What the actual hell?! Every time I think Hank has been on every podcast in existence in LA another episode with him is released. I just saw the notification for his episode with Smosh and then this back to back. Goddamn.

"Relative zero" is a crazy fast way to slap yourself awake and make you appreciate your progress when feeling down.

"Are all the *me*s having experiences I've forgotten dead already?" is such a brilliant way to put that feeling. Kudos to Hank. Looking forward to spending the rest of the day listening to this interview! Thank you, Colin and Samir!

What inspires me most about hank is how unassuming he was in High School. He gives us hope that where we are now doesn't define us.

I find the problem with people doing YouTube nowadays is their lack of strategy. They come up with ideas and upload them and post them straight away. They may be motivated for a couple months and may upload 40 videos in that time. 40 videos could be 40 or 20 weeks instead of 2/3 months. Batch and post consistently (in my case I also use a bit of Famester to make my content viral instantly). Don't post everything straight away, post it on the same day/time every week. This also helps avoid burn out...

All of Colin and Samirā€™s videos humanizes the creative process, but I think Hank really put it into perspective in this episode very well. As a father, long-term creative, and a business-oriented person. This episode was really special šŸ‘šŸ»

Hank talking about their podcast not being on video: 1) Amazing imitation of John 2) I love the people who animate bits of their podcast, so actually you can "turn it into something" 3) In general I think the reason John and Hank aren't burned out on the vlogbrothers channel specifically is that they don't care about increasing their audience and aren't under that pressure like other creators are.

14:28 Iā€™m an ADHD life couch, and a lot of perfectionism for ADHDers can be this ā€œperfectly preparedā€ belief in your head that Hanks talking about. It was very helpful when I learned about this.

Colin and Samir I am at the one hour and 57 minute mark of watching this video on a monday morning. I don't have a lot of free time anymore as I work very much and often have to decide between showering and sleeping (for example). You guys have changed how I feel about so many thing including long interviews, long conversations, and "podcasts" if I can call you that. I love your work, you guys truly are akin to Narduar as Hank alluded. I love your show, I have now seen many episodes in their entirety. I am only one person but for anyone to get 2 hours out of me in a day is incredibly high praise indeed. Thank you guys and thank you Hank and I'\m getting a little emotional here but I just wanted to say you guys are the coolest and I get immense value from what you're doing. Thanks from one of your Canadian fans

Hank did this nice lil collab/interview tour while he was in LA but I was so excited when he mentioned heā€™d be on Colin and Samir because these guys really make every interview feel so comfortable and relaxed despite also being so of the most well researched and analytical interviewers out there. Another banger from Colin and Samir.

Mr. Hank Green from my high school classes youtube education saying "He's a quirked up white boy who's goated with the sauce" is not something I ever would have thought could happen
