I'm the co-founder of Beme and a YouTuber! I've produced two feature films, wrote and directed an HBO series and created a number of short films for the New York Times. In early 2014 my focus shifted to creating a platform that enabled users to share their experiences and perspective via video without the burden of having to create a video.

@melissajoykong Doing a job because I needed the money. Happened early in my career - it cost me dearly.

@helenagrayson peak! ha, we are still in beta! Beme's need for an access code was only removed a few weeks ago. We are looking to early December for a V1 launch that will coincide with the Android launch.

Casey! I've been following your videos (on Snapchat, YouTube, etc.). Great work.
Broad question: What are you most proud of? What do you regret?

Piggy-backing @rrhoover's question with, "@caseyneistat, what's the most memorable video you created?". Also, welcome... Been a huge fan of your work since the beginning of your YouTube channel. :)

@rrhoover Most proud of... Creating Beme is number 1. Making something that enables others has always been an ambition of mine. Regrets are a funny thing, I take a big step back and look at my life - I am happy, I love my life - it was my mistakes, my failures just as much as my successes that got me here so to parse that out and say I wish I hadn't... that doesn't feel right

@caseyneistat love your answer. We're inclined to regret our mistakes but ultimately they shape who we are.

@caseyneistat Your notion of "work" may be different from many of ours. How do you define "work"?

Hey Casey - Thanks for joining us today.
1) What's your core competence when it comes to building an audience/creating content - what are you best at ?
2) What do you think you understand about building an audience and creating content that most people don't and can learn from (don't be modest!) :)
