I so wish I had these podcasts when I was younger. My life would be very different. At age 64, I feel very lost and alone. I had a similar group of friends, there were 4 of us myself, Jon, Kevin and Tim. You remind me of how we were. Sadly to say it was the 1980’s and I am the only one left. AIDS was devastating and took my friends. So much of what you discussed I felt as a young man in my early 20’s. Life events have brought me to where I am at today, isolated and searching. I have been questioning everything about my life; the people, places and things I let define me. I am watching this and it has me reflecting on my life. I realized I am lonely and haven't found my tribe or community. Not even sure where to begin. These podcasts have given me the insight to look deeper. Thanks for giving me the space to write this and the insight to find my “why”.

Brother we need more of your masterpiece content

[zcikos]

Keep on sharing Thomas! You inspire a lot of people! When you feel that you need a break take it, but please don't quit uploading! Greetings!

[gastonalive]

Thomas, love your videos, your perspective and your realization that you have more to say. I am 70 years old and still have a drive and a need for self improvement, self discovery, and self expression...and to travel! I wish you all the best my friend! Can't wait!

Hey Thomas. I’ve never commented on a video since it always feels as though creators are these mythical beings but something about this video talking directly to the camera on a second channel made me snap out of it. As you’ve probably heard many times, I grew up all through high school, and college, with you guys. But it’s more than that — I also grew up in France. I went to the same Lycée as you did I believe (I wonder if you did American or Swedish section?) I went to McGill. I moved to California right after, and I’m now beginning an entrepreneurial journey where I’m having to decide whether I want to go down a wild long shot VC-backed path, or instead choose perhaps to protect my peace, get to travel, set my own pace and direction… Some obvious details differ, but as I stumble my way through life, it does feel like I often end up looking for the trail you’ve blazed, maybe for inspiration, maybe just as an example, who knows. I just wanted to tell you that, regardless of what the future might hold for yes theory, for you or for me, you’ve left an indelibly positive mark on me and many like me, and will keep doing so for as long as you choose to share your musings and adventures. So, thank you for everything.

[Max_Ivanov_Pro]

Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring so many of us to say YES to ourselves. Your vulnerability and authenticity are truly appreciated. Keep shining, Thomas!

[rachitvayeda]

Thomas you are one of the biggest inspiration for me and i am sure for many others. Yes Theory has helped me so much with my mental health. Thank You for that and never quit making videos.

[HappyChimeNoises]

Thank you for making this! It is like when someone says something you are thinking and then gives you the answer before you can even ask. Appreciate the perspective and look forward to your Storytelling videos!

[sophiaa]

Beautiful, Thomas.
You came to this Earth for your voice be heard and I've known it since the first time I saw your videos, years ago. 
I'm so grateful that our paths crossed through a screen, you're a beautiful soul and I'm excited to see what else you have to say.
Much much love xx

Happy to see you're staying on YouTube for now. This looks like an interesting concept for a series. Waiting for the next video on the main channel and can't wait to see the direction Yes Theory goes next!

[Mr-Blitz]

Thomas!!! as a very long time fan its humbling to see more of the BtS real moments. It shows how you still struggle thru life and roadblocks. Thank you for being you

[SirDanielE]

You guys have become family to many of us. We’re with you through all of it🙏🏼

[truepotential]

You are one of the best narrators in YouTube . It's the part which connect with me the most. Your voice bridges the gap bn your experiences and helps us connect deeper with the story.q

And the latest videos of travelling, meeting people and depicting life as is and trying to make it better has brought a very good realism to all these videos.

We need you, but do dial it back a biit if it will do you good. And thankyou for talking about the harder stuff especially the mental journey

[jillvandeklundert]

It's weird to imagine that there will be a day when Yes Theory will stop making videos. Luckily the videos will be here forever to enjoy 💙

[robinjoel]

Thank you for sharing this, Thomas. I really needed to hear this!

[barbaracourtens]

Very inspiring video. Very excited for the next videos of this series 🤩

[AzzaGasim]

One story you guys need to look at further is what is happening in Sudan. I feel that having a “Yes Theory style” story with the help of some amazing creative from the diaspora, which I am happy to connect you with! ❤❤❤❤

[bwmcreynolds]

I think a really cool idea would be a "podcast" style accompaniment to some of the "Yes Theory" style videos in other countries with the people you find or come across. I'm always absolutely fascinated by the people y'all come across and always want to hear more of their stories. I think it could be a thing that brings even more impact to the stories you guys tell with your adventures.

[alaenke]

As someone on the cusp of turning 60, what you shared resonates with me as well. Thank you!💕

[jillianferry]

"feeling creatively fulfilled is part of that peace". YES! Really really needed this video today. Thanks, Thomas <3 I always appreciate the honesty and authentic emotion you and the rest of the team bring to your videos.
