Vsauce: Up Close & Personal

Michael Stevens takes us way back to his pre-Vsauce days and fills us in on how he became the awe-inspiring brainiac he is today.

EPIPHANY is a series that invites impassioned thought leaders across all disciplines to reveal the innovative, the improbable, and the unexpected of their worlds.

He didn't say "uh" not once in the middle of his sentences. Very interesting because we normally say "uh" to catch ourselves into what we are trying to say. This dude is very very articulate.

[mluiga]

Sure he looks really good and has his own style, but when you see that teenage image of him, you can't avoid thinking that all that knowledge has seemed to age him twice as fast as anyone else.

[thnkr]

He's a man wise beyond his years! :)

[dantist]

1986?!?! I thought he was in his late 40's!

[lrissunflower]

He's so intelligent and interesting!

"Hey Michael, Michael here!" - Michael talking to him self.

[LamunesKI]

It's so cool to also kinda follow that Micheal has lost a lot of weight since his first videos, good for him

[jurggjon]

Jesus! I love Michael so much. He's so smart and knows so much but at the same time he knows what to say and when to say it. In other words, he's not geek-ish.

Okay sometimes I feel the need to fangirl when I see him, Michael is just so perfect:3

[doganguler]

this guy is hilarious, fun, most importantly the best teacher

[jonathanmurray]

[jasontecher]

His interest in sciences and sharing knowledge is how he copes with his hairloss.

[Scytherene]

I love listening to Michael. He's just so.. interesting and compelling and good-natured.

[TylerMoon]

We need to vote Michael in fit an award of some sort. Not sure what he would qualify for, but dang this man deserves some real recognition. Keep up the great work!

[sabrinapluskota]

I love hearing you speak. I will have a playlist going of Vsauce at night to sleep. your voice is so soothing. and i enjoy the topics you speak on.

[chaosinorderrr]

I hope by the next 30 years Michael gets the Nobel prize!

"Someone left a comment like Michael could talk about paint dying and make it interesting... It turns out that paint drawing is very interesting!" EPIC LOL

[Vejitatheouji]

Doing what you love to do and being good at it? That's awesome Michael. So many people, (including myself) go through life never experiencing that joy. Keep on doing what you're doing because we love it!

Michael Stevens is a great inspiration to those who are thinkers, the ones that love to learn forthe sake of learning and growing and just knowing more.
