20 things I wish I knew in my 20s

Decided to switch it up a bit and try a new format on here. We want to be more open with you guys and really show you what filming looks like. Honestly, this one was one of the more enjoyable videos we've filmed. Believe it or not, these are some of the convos we find ourselves having over dinner or lunch so it's pretty spot on. What are some of the things you wish you could tell your younger self? What do you think of this type of format?

Love, The East Fam

This vlog, blog, youtube, family, interview, behind the scenes video was one we've been so excited to share. Let us know what other questions you might have for us!

I feel bad for Andrew on this episode?! The last one was sad, too.

[wendybrown]

I love your videos. I couldn’t get through this one.

[heatherruble]

Love this! My advice to my 20 year old self is "trust your gut and be brave enough to go for it!"

[HayleySchreppler]

Were you all in the middle of an argument when you filmed this lol

[arunendrasaharay]

I love the candor and speakeasy nature of the video. It's very comforting to see two accomplished individuals be so grounded and "real" in their answers and interactions. Definitely a couple to share a meal and beer with. As a 37 year old first generation immigrant (immigrated in my teens), many of your answers and reflections deeply resonated with me.

My single most important advice that I would give: Pray before you eat (not to be religious, that is a plus) but to be thankful and grateful for the many things that I/we take for granted. Conscious gratitude is a great counterbalance to many of life's distractions (e.g envy, insecurity, jealousy)

I’m in my 60’s and the advice I would give my 20 year old self (and have given my nieces and nephews) is 1. Call your mom, dad, grandma and grandpa more often and 2. Be curious

[aprils]

As a mom to 2 sets of twins i love being able to see them grow into themselves.. My advice for them is to find what you are passionate about, do what you love and most importantly know you are always loved. Shawn and Andrew you both are wonderful people as well as parents! Much love!❤

[kimdavenport]

You 2 are SO SO real!! Not to mention Funny Bunny's!! I feel like I am right there listening to you both and laughing my butt off!! Love you two and the kidos!! xoxo

[juliewick]

I love you guys so much! Keep being EXACTLY who you are! I’m here for a good time and a LONG time!! 💖🤘🏻

[patriciataubenslag]

Not a fan of this one guys… you seem at each others throat. Chillax.

[ninas]

You two are so real and honest and I love that. ❤😊 and funny! 😅

Someone is a little, , salty today
Shawn, whats up gurl

[TheMarandaWrites]

Watching this felt like watching a train wreck you can’t look away from. Made me sad. I understand that not all moments are rainbows, and some are raw and gritty. But this was very uncomfortable to watch and I got nothing out of it. I am 32, and have earned unfathomable lessons, wisdom and pieces of advice that definitely surmount the beauty rituals. Some of it seemed to just lull. Andrew was speaking from the heart and you just kind of mocked him. Also, was very distracted by the eating. Aaaand the minute she mentioned us getting a nutritionist I knew we come from totally different worlds, heh. Between the seating arrangement, styrofoam sounds and constant passive aggressive tone it wasn’t great. Hope Shawn is ok. ❤ ✌🏻

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this format❤. I've been married for 29 years now and it's so nice to see other married couples show what REAL life is like. We snap at each other, joke, laugh, get angry withand argue with each other etc. That's why I love your channel. You guys are authentic and kind. God bless

[jackiewilson]

I don't understand these other people's comments. I love you guys, the rawness of this video is great! I was laughing at y'all's communication. This whole video has just made me happy. Thank you 😂

[maryhartwell]

Great grandma sees some sort of something maybe a little tension remember to always no matter what love each other through it all I love watching you guys many many blessings to your beautiful family 💐💐💐💐💐

[tarankular]

Awwww this was really nice to watch, y'all are funny!
I'm 23, and I agree with your lists, and I could work on getting out of my comfort zone more

[reemer]

I like the authenticity and realness element to this video: the real time reactions, zooming in and out, and more loose compared to the podcast. Like the other comments, it's nice to see the honesty without editing. The topic was helpful but the style and flow was the real winner for me in this one!

[Erin.]

I love both of your authenticity and personalities! 🤍

[danyiadawson]

You guys are cracking me up! You’re feisty today! Keepin it real!
