2:45:08 · 24 chapters · SEP 14, 2026

Paddy Galloway has generated over 50 billion views for clients including Red Bull, MrBeast, and the Philadelphia Eagles. He's the highest-paid YouTube strategist in the world, and in this conversation he explains how viral content actually gets built. Paddy covers his complete system for ideation, packaging, and retention, and why the next decade will reward whoever controls attention.

You'll hear about the CCN framework, the 100-to-1 idea funnel, and the title and thumbnail principles that can multiply a video's performance by 40x overnight. Paddy talks about why most brand YouTube channels fail, and what separates content that performs from content that gets ignored. This is applied strategy from someone who's proven the model at scale.
