@PrestonPlayz made over $35M last year through YouTube. He's CEO of TBNR - a media empire with 100 employees, 9 channels and over 80M followers - but started as a kid making Runescape videos.

Other top YouTubers are quitting. What keeps Preston going? Today he shares how he avoids burnout, how he scaled from creator to CEO, and he makes consistently compelling videos.
