I asked MatPat how to grow on YouTube (40M+ Subscribers)

MatPat has 40M+ subscribers and is one of today's smartest YouTubers after starting Film Theory, Game Theory, Food Theory and Style Theory channels. I had the opportunity to sit down with MatPat aka Matthew Patrick about creating YouTube's biggest channels, producing his highly researched videos, working alongside his wife and partner Stephanie Patrick, and more.
