Casey Neistat

HustleCon's margin secret: never pay speakers (except Casey Neistat)

Across 300-500 speakers, Sam paid a fee only once, to Casey Neistat. Everyone else spoke free; at most he covered an economy flight, like a $350 ticket for Match.com's CEO that the exec even had to chase him to reimburse.

“I paid Casey Neistat money to speak at HustleCon, which is no surprise. It's like you could just Google what a speaking fee is. But besides that, I've had probably 300, 400, 500 people speak. Not once did I ever pay for another speaker. Not one time.”
