Casey Neistat Talks About BEME For The First Time | Wild Ride! Clips

Amazing how BeReal has exploded from what seems to be a nearly identical business model. Casey ahead of his time

Mustache games are on point in this van. Defo don’t park that thing in a school zone.

I love Steve-O because he knows how to listen to his guests and not interrupt.

"Everyday I want to play with my kids and go surfing" this guy is really living life haha

Casey: Goes on 10 min monologue about how he really believed in his start up, and made a mistake selling to CNN as it wasn't the right cultural fit. Cares deeply for all former employees and that he let them down. Steve-O: So you dumped that shitty business before it tanked? Casey: ...

I like this version of Steve-o way more than the crazy bone breaking version

Beme was BeReal before BeReal. I forgot all about it but it had so much potential.

The value was always in Casey The Youtuber. He was trying to do something bigger than himself but it ended up being only about him.

In short, he feels guilty because he believes he failed those (his former employees) who believed in him, because he didn't build all he dreamt of.

I can really respect Casey’s ownership in that situation. Integrity > Greed.

I love the way Steve Os team is compelled on what Casey is saying.

It's super cool seeking Casey being chill and taking things slower and smelling the roses a bit. Good on him, he deserves every bit of his happiness and peace.

Cool to see Sean Penn hanging out with Bam.

It’s so refreshing to hear Casey talk about Beme this transparently. As someone in tech and an avid viewer of Casey’s vlog I was very invested in Beme’s story; I even applied for a job there. But whenever he would talk about it, it felt like we weren’t getting the whole story. Even before it had sold and he was under NDA. Maybe he thought the business side would be boring to a general audience, or maybe he didn’t want to tip his hand to competitors on what he was up to. But either way we only got vague updates or innuendos. This feels like much-needed closure to the story arc from the vlog. Also love that Steve-O was the one to bring this out of him and not some business podcast lol.

"It was an L because it wasn't a billion." Some Russ Hanneman shit lmfao.

Can’t believe how difficult it was for everyone in that van to understand Casey’s feelings of loss when his company got absorbed by a media monster. He doesn’t define money as the ultimate win, he wants to bring up his team.

I dont know what it is about Casey, but when hes on, im ALWAYS invested to watch it through. His voice, his tone, his way of talking - using words that paint a picture at times... its ... the dude hooks me on and I want more.

I loved watching Casey and his blog back in the day. But for sure his strength seems to be as an individual creator. He has lots of ideas but managing a team to execute on them doesn’t seem like his strength/interest. Beem didn’t make it. Neither did 368 which came later.

Damn I remember when I was around 16 and downloaded BeMe after watching every vlog Casey made. I always wondered what happened to the team after CNN bought the company.

The hardest thing about selling a company is possibly seeing what you have worked so hard to build fall apart, including the people you worked with and the team of people you put together. I'm glad he was able to make sure his team was looked after.
