DETAILS

How do you strategize for a video with 1 BILLION views?

At 18, Jay Neo wasn't just watching YouTube - he was working for the King of it, MrBeast. He helped craft the strategy for (and shot) massive hits like "Would You Fly To Paris For A Baguette?" by obsessing over one specific metric: Retention.

Now he's taking the "alchemy of virality" he learned at MrBeast & bringing it to the Zombies

Join us for SZ 207: The Alchemy of Virality Ft. Jay Neo.

We are breaking down The Changing Game of Content & How To Win.

Jay is the co-founder of Palo, a new AI startup that just raised millions in funding to helps creators crack the algorithm in the attention economy.

We'll be discussing: The "Stair-Stepping" Method: How to escalate stakes to keep viewers glued. Data over Guesswork: Why "beating the algorithm" is about analyzing retention graphs, not luck. The Future of AI in Media: How tools like Palo are helping creators stay in flow while AI handles the research grunt work.

If you are a creator, marketer, or founder, you cannot afford to miss this deep dive into the next generation of media.
