Don’t worry my friends, we’re already on another trip together and just filmed the most Yes Theory experience in Italy which only took us 2 hours by flight to get to, hence wanting to be in Europe :) we’re just finding a new home and elevated purpose ⚡️❤️ See you in 2 weeks for the adventure!

The people saying "where's the old Yes Theory?" kinda missed the point that the channel matured along with the guys, and their content is a reflection of the growth and maturity that comes with age. <br><br>The only constant in life is change - Heraclitus.

At 55 years old, YesTheory has inspired me to do more, be more, travel and explore the world more. But most of all, it has taught me to give more. Since watching this channel, I have sold/donated everything I owned, left my job and set out to BE in the world. For the past three years, I have traveled to more than 30 countries; I have danced in Ibiza, ran a marathon on the Great Wall of China, walked for 40 days across Spain on El Camino de Santiago, trekked the Sahara in North Africa on camel back, donated my time and expertise in the medical field, as well as built houses for the homeless in Mexico (where I now live)... . And when people ask me what I hope to BECOME in this world... my answer is always: YES!

I almost never comment--I'm one of those weirdos who observes quietly, but I'm compelled to add this note, despite the possibility of it not being seen by those behind Yes Theory and Seek Discomfort. I'm not within what I assume is your target demographic. I'm in my 40s. While I openly admit, I haven't been a follower for years (I only found your channel last year), the direction you've been heading opens up the possibilities to so many people. Your stories and challenges transcend culture, ethnicity, and the (often foolish) boundaries we humans create. You've inspired millions of people, including me, by simply transforming ideas into action. On behalf of the millions of people you've touched, thank you for what each of you does--in front of the camera and those behind the scenes. We need this, now more than ever. Here's to each one of us: may we achieve our dreams and goals one by one. Cheers!

Im 60 years old and im feeling so lost right now. I feel like i have lost my identity and dont know what to do. I feel like i have lived for others and never myself. My kids are grown and have families of their own but still feel disconnected. I started watching your videos and go on your ventures with you. I have never been anywhere never been in a plane. I always wanted to go to switzerland and know that will never happen so i watch videos and yearn for more. Thank you for your videos as i get to travel with you on your travels.

“We grew up together” that hit me hard. I started watching you all when I was 14. I am now 20. I took a leap of faith and moved to Berlin to work. You guys have changed my life and I’m forever grateful. I hope that one day I can meet you guys and thank you in person :). You have changed many lives and that’s ultimately what matters!

At 54, I do have regrets. Regrets that I didn’t pull the trigger earlier in my life to make similar changes that you have courageously have made. Anyone watching and reading this. Don’t be ok with the same thing. With all the carp out on YouTube today, teaching our youth what NOT to do. FINALLY a message that is teaching our kids not to be afraid of change and to keep looking for what’s best for,yourself. Honestly, I am so impressed with this video and how powerful this can be. We need this right now, and I cannot thank you enough for sharing this with all of us. Just awesome.

Change is probably one of the biggest discomforts in live. That’s why people want “old Yes theory” videos. Glad you said yes to this new chapter, I’m sure everything that comes, will be even better.

I like the new Yes theory format better, the old focused on doing things that looked cool or would get views, just pure fun. But the new format is more honest, authentic, and is more meaningful, and full of nuggets of wisdom.

For me, one of the hardest things about becoming an adult was realising nothing lasts forever and everything is transient. Eventually this helped me learn acceptance, but it was a harsh reality at first. Everything is always ok in the end. love your channel and your guys' attitude to life. You're all very human. Sending you all the very best.
