Mr Beast spilled a lot of tea on the latest episode of Diary of a CEO, including what he looks for when hiring people, and the single worst trait an employee can have.
The billionaire also told Steven Bartlett about how some of his extreme video ideas have brought him close to quitting, and the one scenario he had to walk away from.
Asked by Steven what kind of person he wants to work for him, Mr Beast had three main boxes to tick:
Firstly, he said his employees need to be "very coachable".
"Because whatever I teach you today is going to change a year or two from now - always learning, always improving."
Next, he said it was important for the person to "see the value" in working for him long term.
"This isn't a job, this is a career," he explained. "If you don't realistically see a world where you're working for me in 10 years then it's pretty hard for me to invest into you at the level I want to.
"What I like is I train someone for a year and then I get nine years of dividends on the back end where they crush at their job and I'm constantly paying them more because they're becoming more valuable."
10 years of pulling off whacky YouTube stunts for a slice of Mr Beast's massive net worth? Could be keen.
Thirdly, the social media sensation said he wants someone to be "obsessed".
"I just don't like working with mediocre people, I mean I really just can't stand it," he said.
"The fastest way to make me depressed is if I have to work with someone who's just not all in and loves what they do."
And what is the single worst trait an employee can have?
"Mediocrity," Mr Beast reckons.
"Because they're not bad enough where you fire them, but they're not good - you see it in full effect, great people just love working with great people.
"There's something about being around great people that pulls some kind of animal out of you that just makes you want to do more and push more."
I mean, that's advice for life, regardless of what you want to do, right?
Elsewhere in the podcast, Steven asked Mr Beast if there's ever been a moment that made him want to quit YouTube.
The 26-year-old content creator said he'd thought about it many times, but there were a few scenarios that had really pushed him to the brink.
"I mean when I was in solitary confinement for seven days I mean that was f*cking miserable," he admitted, but that stunt wasn't the one that made him throw the towel in.
"We did a video where we spent seven days on a desert island, " he said.
"The first time we filmed it, on day two I woke up on the beach and I didn't know sand fleas were a thing - I had like 700 bug bites all over my body, I was sunburned.
"A little bit of me was like 'damn, am I going to die?'
My skin was so red and I couldn't see straight and so I ended up quitting on day two, which is brutal because you spend all this time and money - you have the crew out there and you flew out there, it's an opportunity cost."
"You have moments like those and it's like f*ck, this isn't even fun," he added.
So what do you reckon, could you handle being onboard the Mr Beast hype train?
