A few comments totally miss the point of the document which is to codify the culture that it takes to build a the most successful media empire of the last 10 years. https://time.com/collection-post/6693255/mrbeast-interview/

I'm definitely not saying that it's what everyone should follow! The "Toxic Culture" at Mr. beast is widely documented e.g: https://youtu.be/jiD8svbQtYs?t=1051

"Toxic culture with a lot of bullying" ... 😕

The point of this issue/thread is not to debate the good/bad of Mr Beast, ⚖️ so I will refrain from sharing my thoughts/opinions ... 🙊 just that I wouldn't let my children watch any Mr Beast because it's designed to be addictive not to educate/inform. 🙅

But focussing purely on the "onboarding into company culture" value of this PDF, it's a master class. 💭
