Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is one of the best content creators in the world right now. Further, he even has the proof to back it with 100 million people following him on YouTube. However, this success isn’t the 24-year-old’s hard work alone. His team also has worked equally and deserves the same amount of credit.

The Carolina-based YouTuber has a team of 60 people working with him. But his manager Reed Duchscher had a big hand in Donaldson’s success. Duchscher is the founder of the talent managing company Night Media, which manages MrBeast and previously Dude Perfect. However, the 33-year-old didn’t start his career as a talent manager.

Why did MrBeast manager quit his NFL job?

Duchscher recently appeared on a podcast where he shared how he always dreamed of working in an NFL agency, and he finally achieved it. Further, he was even happier because of the opportunity to work with the people he knew and wanted to work with. But then he came across young content creators making successful careers playing video games online.
