Our show is all about the people who try.
It’s what we cover: the people who are trying to solve problems to make other people’s lives better.
It’s who we make this show for: we want to give spiritual fuel for builders to keep building and for new builders to start.
It’s our team: we try so hard, every day, to keep making our show better and better. I feel so incredibly lucky.

This was a pinch-me moment! Last night HUGE* received an award for contribution to journalism from Poynter alongside the New York Times' Dean Baquet and introduced by my incredible friend Derek Thompson.
I left a media company to make HUGE* because I believe in our mission: when people see a better future, they help build it. And because I see YouTube as a place for real journalism and great storytelling.
Last night was a celebration of journalism in all its forms. I’m so proud to be part of it.

So proud to be on the cover of Hollywood Reporter with this incredible group. “YouTube is TV’s new center of gravity”! And we’re just getting started.
HUGE is only 3 years old. I’m so proud of what our team has built and keeps making better every day.
We started HUGE to be the antidote to the doom and gloom of most media. We try to show better futures, because when people see them, they can help build them. So it means the world that you're here with us. Seriously, thank you.
We’re just at the beginning of what YouTube and HUGE will be. LET’S GO.

New HUGE episode! We just published a story all about one of my favorite topics, bringing back extinct animals: https://youtu.be/iX6w1P60m8M?si=k8GKJ...
The reason I love talking about this so much is it's so sci-fi but so misunderstood. You might’ve seen
news about dire wolves or woolly mammoths or dodo birds or even dinosaurs, but when I took a deep dive into what’s really going on here, I realized we're all missing the best part...
We're on the cusp of a huge genetic breakthrough. And yet the most "huge if true" thing happening here isn’t bringing back extinct animals. It's what this means for all the animals alive today.
And very few people seem to know about it…
So go watch our episode, let me know what you think, and tell us in the comments what other "huge if true" stories we should cover!

We're publishing a new video soon and I could use your help! Which of these titles/thumbs makes you most want to watch?
Here's what the episode is all about: “De-extinction” has become a huge scientific debate. But when I took a deep dive into what’s really going on here, I realized we're getting this conversation very, very wrong. We're on the cusp of a huge genetic breakthrough. But first, we seem to focus on the wrong animals. And second, the most optimistic, "huge if true" thing happening here isn’t bringing back extinct animals at all! It's what this technology means for all the animals alive today.
Let me know what you think! I'd love your votes and also your comments about what you think of each.
