One of his most popular videos features him and his team building an entire yacht of Lego’s! Where does this inspiration for his videos come from? The social media star explains that he takes the dreams he had as a child, and makes them a reality.Ĭarter tells Kelly, “I always like to think about what I wish I could’ve done when I was younger, and some of my my crazy imagination when I was just a kid, and then apply that with adult money and adult friends. “There’s a lot of dynamics involved, and through the learning of problem solving that I’ve developed through college and my other careers, it actually did help a lot when it came to making content.”Īnd the content Carter makes is nothing short of wild!
“It helps me understand how to approach the problem I’m trying to solve, which is I want to do something big and crazy, how do I pull it off? How do I coordinate the people, the production, and make it in a comprehensive video that’s really fun to watch,” says Carter. One wouldn’t think a background in computer science and robotics comes in handy with making YouTube content, but Carter explains just how his background helps his videos. “I knew it was going to be once in a lifetime and if it works it’ll be fun and if it doesn’t I’ll just keep programming self-driving cars,” he says. The YouTuber explains that he always had his previous career as a backup plan, in case YouTube didn’t work. On top of that, Carter had a job programming self-driving cars before he left that behind to take on YouTube full time.Ĭarter says that him being a creative person made him seize the opportunity to pursue a career making videos.
Prior to starting a YouTube channel, Carter got a degree in quantum mechanics and electrical and computer engineering, before designing his own major in robotics.
