From making short movies to hosting celebrity interviews, Jack has done it all. But even after all of this, he wanted a new challenge and a venue to interact more with his friends. That is how the idea of doing a podcast struck his mind. “I haven’t been challenging myself and I think this challenges me in a good way,” said Jack.

“It’s an excuse to hangout with friends,” said Jacksepticeye. “It also gives us an excuse to see each other more. Like you will come to LA more and I hopefully come out there more,” added Ethan aka CrankGameplays. The concept of Brain wasn’t only a professional venture for both creators; it was an avenue for them to be more outgoing with each other. 

“Last year I had kinda been lonely and miserable and depressed and just sitting at home and being like ‘man, I like what I do, but doing the same version of it over and over again, I haven’t been really challenging myself,’” said Jack. Being a YouTube gamer may seem fun from a distance but in reality, creating the same content on daily basis is more than exhausting, both physically and mentally. 

And to tackle a new challenge and become more social and outgoing with friends, Both Jack and Ethan started their venture, Brain Leak. You can also listen to Brain Leak on their official YouTube channel.
