@@Its2for1it's not it's classic will and his crew. If you watch his 2nd channel you can tell William is more of a fuck it let's do it what could go wrong. Then followed by an oh fuck it went wrong so lets salvage this
Honestly, I used to consider Wiliam as a joke engineer (not that he's bad, he's just fooling around with ideas). But knowing much effort an event like this needs, I have MAD MAD respect for him. Wish I bought the tickets sooner and went.
Interesting... The vibe I always got from him was that he's the one youtuber in the "joke engineer" space that isn't primarily a comedian/content creator He's similar to Stuff Made Here in that when he builds random bullshit the final "product" isn't the only thing that matters, he feels it's important to do some things "properly": like insisting on making his cad stuff modular. He kinda makes joke stuff as if it wasn't a joke It makes sense that on the MrBeast thing he was the who took up the challenge: it was for content, but it wasn't a joke, it was an industry-level engineering challenge It's also why he kinda had to be the one to create open sauce: it's an actual event, not a joke
@@jogadorjnc I feel he's more similar to "I Did A Thing", as that guy does silly things that make no sense. Shane "Stuff Made Here" is like pro-tier level stuff, William "damn I need a part, lets go to Home Depot", Shane "Well let me fabricate the piece on my CNC machine".
I was the guy with the Frisbees with Razor blades at Open Sauce 😂 👋🏻 to be fair they were screws, and everyone left with the same number of holes they came with! But I’m so appreciative to Will and the crew for putting on this event! Getting to see the joy my creations brought people was a new core memory and I can’t wait for next year!
@@trykarat thanks for the kind words and the interview! You asked all the questions I was itching to know while at the event. Will definitely checkout your catalog after this and see what else you got.
As someone who exhibited I have to say this was an incredible experience. This event pushed me to take on an ambitious challenge and that be shitty video was exactly what I needed to here frantically trying to get everything together in the last couple days. I loved the event and I am so excited for next year.
yess!! i think i've always struggled on - hey is this good enough? - vs i'm shit, i make shitty things, and that's okay so go and make more shitty things
if you liked this interview w William- I also interviewed Nile Red & Allen Pan on this channel too! I've now hosted 3 members of the Safety Third podcast haha
This is my favorite arc of RUclips ever. Their house burning down, moving in with Michael Reeves and both of them benefiting personally and professionally from each other.
open sauce has been absolutely great the last two times. it feels like the 'good old days' of conventions and shit, and i hope to fuck it continues because its truly one of a kind. i buy next years tickets the day after the event every time
Too real. My life’s goal is building stuff that doesn’t make people go fuck you haha To William’s point- we are all shitty people making shitty things - but the difference is how you act when you’re called out on mistakes - and when you go to a company and say hey xyz doesn’t work and their reply is it’s *your* fault- the only answer they deserve is fuck you
@@petermuller608not a bank- we partner w financial institutions to help them understand creators and give them better terms For example- a lot of RUclipsrs with millions of followers can only get $10k limits on their credit cards because banks don’t understand them- so we come in and underwrite them properly to give them higher limits Example from this pod- William mentions how American Express fucked him - that’s why we came in to help
As someone who worked Open Sauce originally as a volunteer then an employee getting to know the family and making choices on food costs to feed staff, it hurt to realize how expensive it is. Each time someone asked me if were gonna be seeing a return on expense I told people that I can just tell that its not about making money and that its more about the potential growth and benefits that are inevitably bound to come to an an event grown and driven primarily by the community. by the way at 17:00 I completely resonate with you Will, which is why I would do this head over heels any and every time I get the chance.
World's Fair was not an American creation and held around the world. The first world fair was in London in 1851 with a Paris based organisation serving as it's governing body. the 6th World's Fair was the first one in America. 6 of the 35 so far have been in America. In 1988 it as rebranded to World Expo (which was in Brisbane) and the last World's Fair/Expo was in in Dubai in 2022, the next one is in Osaka in 2025 and the 2030 one has been announced. The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World's Fair.
You’re right- thank you for the correction! I think I was going off my confused memory of reading The Devil and the White City by Erik Larson years ago
Feel really fortunate to have been at both years of Open Sauce so far. It was awesome to see the growth and improvements made this year. Bought our tickets for next year as soon as it was possible. When the Discord announcement went out looking for volunteers this year I seriously considered it even though we were traveling to get to the event and staying in a hotel. Not sorry that we just got to enjoy the event, but also, kind of sorry to not have been part of the impressive crew that helped pull everything together. Maybe next year. Great interview! Subbed and watched the whole thing.
I volunteered on the wrap up and will do next year as well. It's pretty cool to see the behind the scene and they def needed the help with all the moving parts. So def do it!
OpenSauce was amazing. So well run, for the spectator, full of interesting things, perfect length. Some things can be improved, but he could rinse/repeat and the customer would be happy.
Respect to William for putting together such events. He is still one of my favourite RUclipsrs, because the videos feel genuine and they have an engineering aspect to them.
I know safety third , his podcast, doesnt have as many subscribers but it was very balsy of him to go through with open sauce after they had to cancel the live show of safety third because they only sold 20 Tickets total. I would not have the confidence anymore to be honest
That was also very very early on like back before they were even doing things in person ever if I'm remembering right, by the time of open sauce there was a lot more followers of the channel but early on they barely ever remembered to mention the channel existed
Nice interview, and thanks to William for doing Open Sauce and carrying such a big cost and risk to make it happen. I had a blast being able to show off some of my stuff there and meeting so many like-minded Makers. the Creativity and Ingenuity are unmatched.
great interview! i especially liked hearing will's perspective on encouraging kids' creativity, i remember chelesa talked a lot about teaching on the h3 podcast which was great, so hearing will's side too is really cool. his passion for it is so sweet. he's gonna be the second best girl dad in the world for sure
William is making dreams come true. This has already become a yearly tradition for me and my buddies and it's what I dreamed of having since I was little. I'll go just for the vibes and meeting people. These crazy mofos are my people!
He nailed it. I watch because you're approach and thought process and sense of humor is similar to my own. It took 4 years of likes on degens to get you suggested but hey. We're here
This is a great interview. I really enjoyed hearing a tired unfiltered William. I really hope all the best for him and his family. I'd really like to hear his wife's point of view though
28:50 the self-inflating lightsaber exists as a toy! I had one I bought from this vending machine for like 1 dollar, popped some shit in there that probably did chemical reaction that released some gas and it inflated pretty quickly. Also it kept being inflated for like half a year :D
Yes😅.. the more I watch this interview. The more I think You're My doppelganger by heart. My financial planner would say the same s***. And I told American Express the same thing after a chicken crow in the back on the telephone! Will somebody please ask William if there was a chicken in the background of the phone when talking to American Express? true story
yea i screwed up the editing...i guess to borrow william's phrasing, i made a shitty thing (there was a lav microphone we had as backup audio that had super messy wires; I asked editor to remove it and missed that he removed the main cable too)
it gets faster proportionally as riding a slow river into rapids that accelerate you more till it's over and river slows down again no longer being in venturri point also the possibility it's a waterfall and end of all but you've NEVER traveled this river before so it's a shrodingers cat 🐈 you just see both dead and alive because that's all you get nobody ever opened it up to prove 1 way or the other
yeah I'm kinda emotional about it helping that family so much and helping you, i definitely went to spread the word online about it making sure it got the reckonition it deserved... it's when i had just gotten into Mr Beast videos and was in the process of watching not just 1 but all of them all the way back and even mentions or reviews of videos i think i did that for Williams videos too but i been watching william and friends content for far longer than just 2009 ❤ also spent minimum 3000$ to 4k on 2024 open sauce being 1st real vacation like out of state in 3 years saving up for it only twitchcon 18 /19 missed 17 to family stuff or had everything planned to be there and was gonna do annual 1week vacations for mental health but yeah mom dying 2020 and she was the one bailing me out of poor money choices 2019 ... i guess I'm getting better at planning my own travel idk still kinda winging it and loosing money 🤑 💰💰 along the way but the experience i hope I'm learning along the way 2019 taught me about fake friends which made really real friends stand out like blinding red reflective paint on a bridge 🌉 out last chance to ditch sign 🛑 like in the movies this time i forgot what I'd learned because 3 years hiatus from Caring about myself only going after money alone which i tried my best to hold on to friends during that and even slightly attend family functions if they existed but some stuff clashed timing as were planned in separate places same time frames like black in 2017 , well quitting my job a month before OpenSauce just to be sure i could be there and network with friends or make friends probably not the best idea but also i wouldn't trade it to have the money back to have not gone and still escaping a job that didn't pay well for the job but payed well for the area but at the expense of being treated oh not too great at times but for moments treated fair, anyways I Will do my best to continue the heartbeat of the community because we're all for your dream being something we all can enjoy (he said wearing his OpenSauce T-shirt from cat wearhouse and cool patch and with the signed stuff i got there) that maybe wore in public today ❤
okay i know i already liked the video but now that I've treated it as a stream and commented on it I'm double checking to be sure i liked it and also(❤ LIKE) here in the comments because it speaks to me
Great interview! William Osman is one of my favorite people in the universe. Question to this community: I have been following William for a few years now, but I was wondering, one thing, is he seen as the original, or one of the original creators in his genre? And would his genre be considered something again to a maker that makes useless gadgets. What do you guys think?
I can read William like a book we are very much alike😂 I can see through the body language. 😅 I think the greatest science fair in the world is one of the most awesome things we can do to get this generation thinking again. 🎉 I really hope I get it opportunity to attend one. Does he need help? 😮 I'm going to help with stuff like this. Has what software is making that microphone cable magical?
Someone had to start it Vidcon was original arrange by the Vlog Brothers John and Hank green The first comic conventions like comic con originally where meetings of fans of comic and their creators and comicbook store and venues
Hearing about bags of money for crappy software project just hurts me so much. Rule one people: hire your own IT expert, even if just for procurement and vendor quality assurance. There isn't anything more motivating to a software vendor than a customer with a competent expert on their side xD
good eye! we originally had the reflection in but it was super distracting - like you couldn't even focus on William because it looked like he was being interviewed by 2 of me. not sure this is better but was trying to improve it
@@trykarat ahh ok. i was half expecting it to be some weird invention from the con not taken down yet lol. it popping in and out wasn't too distracting though so probably a good choice 👍
good catch! to william's point - i definitely made a mistake here and made a shitty thing so we filmed this in this little bar area looking over open sauce and filming logistics were hard. the glitch is because the camera angle was wrong and i was allllll the way on one side of the frame and we had to add background back so i looked centered
@@trykarat hey! EMBRACE THE SHIT! I’m 48 minutes in and hadn’t heard of you before, but this is a great interview. So while there might be “shit post production”, I’m sad to say that this interview is not shit. GREAT JOB!
@@Spaghettaboutit AWWW THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT not going to lie i've been feeling pretty shitty waking up this morning and seeing 50 people notice my editing mistakes
@@trykarat don’t fret about it! It took me 38 minutes while watching it on my very large TV before I noticed. You should do more weird editing “mistakes” in future videos for engagement. I don’t know if I was going to comment had I not seen that. I mean I am enjoying the video, I gave it a thumbs up, but I’m watching on my TV and it takes too much effort to say, “Good video!” on my phone and it also doesn’t feel like I’m adding anything of worth (creatively at least). That being said, I very much enjoyed that you clearly are a fan of his and that you were able to ask questions that I would have wanted to ask. This is not a shallow, surface level interview.
yea i'm sorry about that - there's an additional lav microphone we added as backup audio and it had a bunch of wires that made it messy - I asked my editor to clean it up and missed that we also removed the main microphone cable ☠ for the reflection - we had it in originally but it was *super* distracting - like imagine trying to watch William....but you can't because you're mainly just seeing two of me
I screwed up- we had lav microphones as backup mics and they had a ton of wires so I wanted to edit it out; didn’t realize we also edited out the main cable ☠️
Wait, so how did they not make money if they spent 2M$ and had 20k attendees? The base cost is 200$ so they should have made 20k*200$=4M$. What am I missing?
There's a bunch of different columns on an accounting spreadsheet. My guess is that a few of those are columns are what he considers as money spent and add up to 2mil, but there's probably a bunch of other costs that eat into that $200 ticket price
Banking for creators? Wasnt there something happening this year simular to that? That a lot of people lost their money because of some problems with the bank? And they even have gambling stuff in their website
yea someone built a gambling app where you deposited money - and they partnered with a shitty company that went bankrupt and lost track of where the money was. Honestly stupid shit and yes - we're working on something different with legitimate partners. eg our first product is partnered with Visa and Stripe
@@trykaratAfter re-reading my comment I believe it came out sounding like I was shitting on your project. Im sorry really. That was not my intention at all. I do believe this is something really cool. I just wanted to ask a question about a similar product I saw somewhere In another video. This is the first video that appeared on my recommended from you and I really like how you express yourself and the way you interview flows amazing and you seem like a really cool genuine guy. I hope everything you aspire to do or be goes great man.
Oh all good- I didn’t take it that way at all! Reality is we’re trying to build something difficult and it’s 100% good and fair to call out potential challenges and hold us accountable Appreciate the kind words. I’m just glad I get to do this and work w creators like William. Thank you for watching!!
it's when you see will not fucking around - you know it's really serious. as patrick rothfuss says: "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."
I absolutely loved this interview but I really want someone to explain how Kevin fits into this - is his job just to live on William's property and pop-up in his second channel videos? I also love what William had to see about the effect schools has on people - but I still want to know about Kevin too
Kevin has his own channel; The Backyard Scientist. Pretty sure they live together and collab a lot now; I know Kevin used to be based in Florida but that seems to have changed. If you're into wild experiments/tech/chaos, definitely check him out!
@@dimitriputney5835I think it was more of a Kevin: "Jesus flying out here is way to expensive" and will going "well we do have property wanna live here?" Because they were collabing all the time and flying from Florida to California would be too expensive after a while, plus hanging out with friends on a bit of land fucking around would be great on it's own
"we don't do this because it's easy" "we do it because we thought it was easy"
i thought he was going to say next "we do this because it's hard" but i like his answer way more
@@Monstufpud Pretty sure its in jest to JFK's speech going to the moon "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard". Maybe not though lol, idk
@@Its2for1it's not it's classic will and his crew. If you watch his 2nd channel you can tell William is more of a fuck it let's do it what could go wrong. Then followed by an oh fuck it went wrong so lets salvage this
typical engineering moment
It's the retrospective equivalent of Top Gear's "how hard could it be?"
This is the best produced episode of Safety Third.
i've how had william + allen + nigel on this pod!!! that's three members of safety third haha
@@trykarat kevin still to go
Allen had a bit of a glowup
Honestly, I used to consider Wiliam as a joke engineer (not that he's bad, he's just fooling around with ideas). But knowing much effort an event like this needs, I have MAD MAD respect for him. Wish I bought the tickets sooner and went.
Interesting...
The vibe I always got from him was that he's the one youtuber in the "joke engineer" space that isn't primarily a comedian/content creator
He's similar to Stuff Made Here in that when he builds random bullshit the final "product" isn't the only thing that matters, he feels it's important to do some things "properly": like insisting on making his cad stuff modular. He kinda makes joke stuff as if it wasn't a joke
It makes sense that on the MrBeast thing he was the who took up the challenge: it was for content, but it wasn't a joke, it was an industry-level engineering challenge
It's also why he kinda had to be the one to create open sauce: it's an actual event, not a joke
@@jogadorjnc I feel he's more similar to "I Did A Thing", as that guy does silly things that make no sense. Shane "Stuff Made Here" is like pro-tier level stuff, William "damn I need a part, lets go to Home Depot", Shane "Well let me fabricate the piece on my CNC machine".
It take a perfomance effort to be a clown

thumbnail makes william look like a criminal who laundered money
yea i tried to find a better photo of him to use (this one is from his I made a baby video) - but was hard haha
does it count if he laundered his money and washed it all away into opensauce
@@trykarattbf every thumbnail on his own channel is him looking very guilty of countless crimes. He's a menace and that's why we love him so...
Mentioning Ludwig next to 2 giants of STEM youtube made me laugh, like 2 Michaels and then Gob
yea i wasn't sure if the right audience would find this video so i figured i'd add him for broader appeal - now i feel a bit stupid haha
I'm that rare cross over, and his friends pointed that out and laughed at him
The video with Michael Reeve’s and William in their old videos together was so wholesome. Like when you look back fondly on old memories
This is my favorite arc of RUclips ever. Their house burning down, moving in with Michael Reeves and both of them benefiting personally and professionally from each other.
How hot was it up there? Those are some sweaty boys.
It was a small stuffy bar area where we filmed haha
@@trykarat figured they just had the air off and the height.
There were a few areas at Cow Palace that really felt as damp and stuffy as the brutalist exterior looked!
open sauce has been absolutely great the last two times. it feels like the 'good old days' of conventions and shit, and i hope to fuck it continues because its truly one of a kind. i buy next years tickets the day after the event every time
“I don’t know what that means, but fuck you.” V relatable sentiment when dealing with financial institutions.
Too real. My life’s goal is building stuff that doesn’t make people go fuck you haha

Now all we need is the backyard scientist interview
*the backdoor scientist
don’t listen to the people pointing out the editing mistakes, didn’t notice until people pointed it out
You're telling me this was FILMED in the Bay? I was at Open Sauce this year, and this is offering so much awesome insight and Behind the Scenes.
Yea! This was literally filmed at open sauce ☺️
As someone who worked Open Sauce originally as a volunteer then an employee getting to know the family and making choices on food costs to feed staff, it hurt to realize how expensive it is.
Each time someone asked me if were gonna be seeing a return on expense I told people that I can just tell that its not about making money and that its more about the potential growth and benefits that are inevitably bound to come to an an event grown and driven primarily by the community.

yeah I'm kinda emotional about it helping that family so much and helping you, i definitely went to spread the word online about it making sure it got the reckonition it deserved... it's when i had just gotten into Mr Beast videos and was in the process of watching not just 1 but all of them all the way back and even mentions or reviews of videos i think i did that for Williams videos too but i been watching william and friends content for far longer than just 2009 ❤ also spent minimum 3000$ to 4k on 2024 open sauce being 1st real vacation like out of state in 3 years saving up for it only twitchcon 18 /19 missed 17 to family stuff or had everything planned to be there and was gonna do annual 1week vacations for mental health but yeah mom dying 2020 and she was the one bailing me out of poor money choices 2019 ... i guess I'm getting better at planning my own travel idk still kinda winging it and loosing money 🤑 💰💰 along the way but the experience i hope I'm learning along the way 2019 taught me about fake friends which made really real friends stand out like blinding red reflective paint on a bridge 🌉 out last chance to ditch sign 🛑 like in the movies this time i forgot what I'd learned because 3 years hiatus from Caring about myself only going after money alone which i tried my best to hold on to friends during that and even slightly attend family functions if they existed but some stuff clashed timing as were planned in separate places same time frames like black in 2017 , well quitting my job a month before OpenSauce just to be sure i could be there and network with friends or make friends probably not the best idea but also i wouldn't trade it to have the money back to have not gone and still escaping a job that didn't pay well for the job but payed well for the area but at the expense of being treated oh not too great at times but for moments treated fair, anyways I Will do my best to continue the heartbeat of the community because we're all for your dream being something we all can enjoy (he said wearing his OpenSauce T-shirt from cat wearhouse and cool patch and with the signed stuff i got there) that maybe wore in public today ❤
okay i know i already liked the video but now that I've treated it as a stream and commented on it I'm double checking to be sure i liked it and also(❤ LIKE) here in the comments because it speaks to me
I look forward to attending Open Sauce 2025! Keep climbing the mountain William, anything worthwhile requires us to endure our suffering.
41:12 - 42:10 is pure wisdom
If spirit animals were more accepted, I'd totally say right now that Will is mine. Actually, yeah nah, Will Osman is my spirit animal. yep
Great interview! William Osman is one of my favorite people in the universe. Question to this community: I have been following William for a few years now, but I was wondering, one thing, is he seen as the original, or one of the original creators in his genre? And would his genre be considered something again to a maker that makes useless gadgets. What do you guys think?
I want to try to go next year
why was Ludwig from video games at opensauce?
I can read William like a book we are very much alike😂 I can see through the body language. 😅 I think the greatest science fair in the world is one of the most awesome things we can do to get this generation thinking again. 🎉 I really hope I get it opportunity to attend one. Does he need help? 😮 I'm going to help with stuff like this. Has what software is making that microphone cable magical?
Wow I've never see a normal-energy William before
🔥
Do it in the Midwest or somewhere cheaper bro!
Someone had to start it
Vidcon was original arrange by the Vlog Brothers John and Hank green
The first comic conventions like comic con originally where meetings of fans of comic and their creators and comicbook store and venues
Hearing about bags of money for crappy software project just hurts me so much. Rule one people: hire your own IT expert, even if just for procurement and vendor quality assurance. There isn't anything more motivating to a software vendor than a customer with a competent expert on their side xD
I hope next years event is more central US. I can't afford to fly 2800 miles for an event that lasts 2 days.
The Midwest is always cheap
I feel like he would save a ton of money too. Space in California is very expensive.
anyone else notice Erics reflection popping in and out like it's added in post? is this some kind of magic mirror? 57:21
good eye! we originally had the reflection in but it was super distracting - like you couldn't even focus on William because it looked like he was being interviewed by 2 of me. not sure this is better but was trying to improve it
@@trykarat ahh ok. i was half expecting it to be some weird invention from the con not taken down yet lol. it popping in and out wasn't too distracting though so probably a good choice 👍
38:48 woah, what’s the story on the weird post processing glitch? Was it to remove a logo from the jacket or something weirder?
good catch! to william's point - i definitely made a mistake here and made a shitty thing
so we filmed this in this little bar area looking over open sauce and filming logistics were hard. the glitch is because the camera angle was wrong and i was allllll the way on one side of the frame and we had to add background back so i looked centered
@@trykarat hey! EMBRACE THE SHIT! I’m 48 minutes in and hadn’t heard of you before, but this is a great interview. So while there might be “shit post production”, I’m sad to say that this interview is not shit. GREAT JOB!
@@Spaghettaboutit AWWW THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT not going to lie i've been feeling pretty shitty waking up this morning and seeing 50 people notice my editing mistakes
@@trykarat don’t fret about it! It took me 38 minutes while watching it on my very large TV before I noticed. You should do more weird editing “mistakes” in future videos for engagement. I don’t know if I was going to comment had I not seen that. I mean I am enjoying the video, I gave it a thumbs up, but I’m watching on my TV and it takes too much effort to say, “Good video!” on my phone and it also doesn’t feel like I’m adding anything of worth (creatively at least).
That being said, I very much enjoyed that you clearly are a fan of his and that you were able to ask questions that I would have wanted to ask. This is not a shallow, surface level interview.
This is why we trust the nerds. Because they are so entertained if what they are doing that they do not have the time to do crime
I feel like you could have cut the cost in half if you just had it in vegas
why are you editing out your reflection in the wide shot and his microphone cable in the close-up?
yea i'm sorry about that - there's an additional lav microphone we added as backup audio and it had a bunch of wires that made it messy - I asked my editor to clean it up and missed that we also removed the main microphone cable ☠
for the reflection - we had it in originally but it was *super* distracting - like imagine trying to watch William....but you can't because you're mainly just seeing two of me
@@trykarat Nothing to apologize for, I just thought it looked really odd. Great interview! Have a good rest of your day
@@insu_na awww thank you- that's kind of you to say! i'm still a new creator so learning from each mistake
Why did you" remove" the mic cable?
I screwed up- we had lav microphones as backup mics and they had a ton of wires so I wanted to edit it out; didn’t realize we also edited out the main cable ☠️
@trykarat XLRs don't bug me none. you did a great interview here! You got some great stuff outta willie
@@elbowache awww- thank you!! and yea learning for next time - i'm glad my editing mistakes didn't distract from William being a great guest
Wait, so how did they not make money if they spent 2M$ and had 20k attendees? The base cost is 200$ so they should have made 20k*200$=4M$. What am I missing?
I thought that too. He probably hasn't done the full accounting yet.
There's a bunch of different columns on an accounting spreadsheet. My guess is that a few of those are columns are what he considers as money spent and add up to 2mil, but there's probably a bunch of other costs that eat into that $200 ticket price
Taxes and other invisible costs probably
California costs
ludwig.... lol ok
Ludwig from video games?
yes ludwig from video games himself
Banking for creators? Wasnt there something happening this year simular to that? That a lot of people lost their money because of some problems with the bank? And they even have gambling stuff in their website
yea someone built a gambling app where you deposited money - and they partnered with a shitty company that went bankrupt and lost track of where the money was. Honestly stupid shit
and yes - we're working on something different with legitimate partners. eg our first product is partnered with Visa and Stripe
@@trykaratAfter re-reading my comment I believe it came out sounding like I was shitting on your project. Im sorry really. That was not my intention at all.
I do believe this is something really cool. I just wanted to ask a question about a similar product I saw somewhere In another video.
This is the first video that appeared on my recommended from you and I really like how you express yourself and the way you interview flows amazing and you seem like a really cool genuine guy. I hope everything you aspire to do or be goes great man.
Oh all good- I didn’t take it that way at all! Reality is we’re trying to build something difficult and it’s 100% good and fair to call out potential challenges and hold us accountable
Appreciate the kind words. I’m just glad I get to do this and work w creators like William. Thank you for watching!!
its odd to see will not fucking around
it's when you see will not fucking around - you know it's really serious.
as patrick rothfuss says: "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."
being from hemet i can confirm its a huge shit hole
I absolutely loved this interview but I really want someone to explain how Kevin fits into this - is his job just to live on William's property and pop-up in his second channel videos?
I also love what William had to see about the effect schools has on people - but I still want to know about Kevin too
Kevin has his own channel; The Backyard Scientist. Pretty sure they live together and collab a lot now; I know Kevin used to be based in Florida but that seems to have changed. If you're into wild experiments/tech/chaos, definitely check him out!
@@dimitriputney5835I think it was more of a Kevin: "Jesus flying out here is way to expensive" and will going "well we do have property wanna live here?" Because they were collabing all the time and flying from Florida to California would be too expensive after a while, plus hanging out with friends on a bit of land fucking around would be great on it's own
Kevin has his own channel, for the longest time he was significantly bigger than William lol
