Jon Youshaei

What if we told you that 28 of YouTube's biggest stars live together in the same apartment? Together, they have a combined audience of over 150 million subscribers. It's a secret community where stars are made, ideas are born, and million dollar deals are signed. It’s also a groundbreaking case study in how to build teams, improve culture, and foster collaboration in today’s world. As YouTube’s former Head of Creator Product Marketing, Jon Youshaei has not only studied this secret community of YouTube stars, but he lived with them. He’s learned first-hand what happens when the cameras turn off. In this keynote, Jon shares how these influencers work together, create teams, and rise to prominence with very few resources. You’ll hear entertaining stories from his time in the apartment and actionable insights that you can apply to boost your culture, creativity, and efficiency.

See why this keynote has been one of the most highly-requested talks from many Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T, American Express, Google, Allstate and more. Youshaei mesmerizes audiences by taking them on a journey through time, explaining how innovators from Shakespeare to Beethoven to Beyoncé rose to prominence. Hint: it’s not what you think. You’ll not only discover a hidden side to these "well-known" stars (especially, Beyoncé), but you’ll learn the secrets to how they stayed relevant and boosted their creativity so you can do the same regardless of your industry, profession or age.

Great copywriting is the bedrock of great businesses. Without it, your products go unnoticed. Your newsletters go unopened. Your social posts go unread. Your videos go unwatched.

You’ll learn to write in a way that’ll make your colleagues and customers nod their heads, drop their jaws, and open their wallets.
