Co-Founder Rainn Wilson Takes us on the Final SoulPancake Journey

[@dylandufresne6267]

I’ve watched this channel since I was in the 6th grade - kid president was big at the time. I’m now in my 3rd year of college and I can’t thank the folks behind this channel enough for still being there throughout me growing up and enjoying the content every time I click. Much love SoulPancake

[@Participant]

Didn't think we were going to cry today...MUCH LOVE from your SoulPancake fam

[@aasthap1959]

Noooo. It was my dream to one day work for Soul Pancake. Throughout my college years I was nurturing it :( This makes me so sad. Thank you for everything Soul Pancake. A very personal thank you for all the love and wholesome content that healed us in places we didn't even know needed healing and for always giving us pure,undulterated joy.

[@shinyshinythings]

Just adjust your dream to work for Participant instead. Problem solved!

My eyes just filled up with tears! So grateful for soulpancake, it has been a true inspiration in my life. Wishing everyone that is a part of the transition all the best. I will continue to journey along with everyone and enjoy ride. Love you all.

[@Participant]

Thank you, Nika! We’re excited to continue to create stuff that matters with you at Participant!

[@Angelpupp23]

This is one of my favorite Spots on KZbin! This channel has been so emotionally restorative for me. I can’t thank you enough for all the things that you’ve made over the years. When I think about some of my hardest darkest places emotionally one of the things that tend to make me feel like humans weren’t as bad as they could be was this channel. This is also the channel that started amazing social conversations and social experiments that I loved and enjoyed. To the whole team, both now and since the start, Thank you all for adding so much to my heart. The impact you have on me helps me to embody compassion. May life’s next endeavor treat you all well.

[@Participant]

MIRAH! Thank you for SUCH kind words and for your wisdom

[@lindaa9709]

I remember when SoulPancake started, and you guys had a website forum where people could exchange thoughts and philosophies together. I've loved how your channel evolved and continuously gripped my heart through your profound content. I'm sad to see it go but grateful for the videos and the feelings you've produced for your audience to thrive on. Thank you for all you have done. Your work will forever have a legacy on this platform, and all the best to you with your newfound ventures with Participant. I hope you'll continue to keep the soul you've always had. :)

Soul Pancake has been on an amazing journey. I remember watching so many videos and sharing them with the students and my school. Of course Kid President was my favorite though. Thank you for the years of amazing videos!

Rainn, leaving the cofounder to find a way home was such a Dwight Schrute move 🤣🤣🤣 I love the videos and I can't wait to see what comes next with the channel ❤️

[@Participant]

Right?! Stay tuned!

[@begreen2809]

Thank you so much for taking me on this journey. I truly believe this channel helped me become a better person. I wish all of you all the happiness in the world 💖

[@Participant]

Thank you for joining us! How do you think you've changed??? We wish the same for you too :)

[@begreen2809]

​@@Participant I've been told by people that if I'm too nice, I won't survive in this world. Often, I believed them. However, after watching your "Random Acts of Kindness" and Kid President videos, it really helped and motivated me to understand that kindness isn't a weakness. Thank you so much! (Sorry for late reply!)

[@IronDogger]

Thank you for taking us on a beautiful journey filled with love 💗

[@Shaz73]

Reading all the comments here it's heartwarming to see the effect SoulPancake has had on many lives as it has on mine. You brought so people into my life that changed the way I see a lot, Zach Sobiech especially (once I stopped crying like a baby). You rock, thank you :)

[@scribbledbysophie6589]

What a sweet send off!!!! This brought me right back to being 14 in the "computer room" at home, watching stunt videos on the street :') waaaah!

[@Participant]

What a sweet message

[@mikelgibson4781]

When I found Soul Pancake on the OWN network and was really impressed. I loved the content and found it inspiring. I am really sorry to see it go. Especially since this year has been so difficult. Raiin your an inspiring dude. Keep all our souls inpired with positivity and question everything.

[@SilentEchoMedia]

Its been years since I last came to watch a video on this channel. Ive grown into an adult in such a small matter of time that I almost didn’t realise, much like the channel, that is growing and changing. You guys have helped my broaden my horizons and views in more ways then I can count, so, thank you so so much for all that you’ve done. Im glad this is not a goodbye, but more like a new chapter, saying hello all over again.

[@Fernando-fr5cu]

Soul pancake was the most important KZbin channel for the past decades. Rainn Wilson is a national treasure.

[@VinnytotheK]

Thank you Rainn, and everyone at Soul Pancake! I've been a subscriber and viewer since the start of the channel, and I'll keep watching anything you all produce, no matter the iteration. Keep on keepin' on! ♥️

[@Participant]

Thank you for growing with us and being an OG SP :) Can't wait for you to be an OG Participant too

[@DoctorJoanieTool]

Is Soul Pancake gone? Do all those amazing old clips still exist? I feel so sad, strangely. I will never forget the Orchestra (as a musician) with no instruments. Are all those 7000 videos still in existence someplace? COVID has certainly changed a lot of things. 2022 and it’s raging again. I feel like if we had more of the Soul Pancake intentionality maybe we would mask up for each other. We would see that there is no place where I stop and you start … where I end and you begin… ☮️❤️🌷

[@martinr8278]

What a positive fun channel. I thought they did a great job over the years! Thank you for so many great memories

[@jazzyroly]

The content on this channel has inspired me since 2014. I hope y’all continue to evolve!

[@sillygirl3452001]

I just started this journey with soulpancake five months ago. It's been a extraordinary. I was bummed to see it go although I am very eager to find out how to participate. This is a very exciting new chapter & I am anxiously waiting to see what's next! I am postive it will be amazing!

Can we not have both Soul Pancake and Participant😩😩😭😭....I LOVE SOUL PANCAKE!!!❤

[@Participant]

We love YOU, Adriane!!! We’ve always believed in creating stuff that matters, because YOU MATTER! Participant believes in that too, which is why Participant, an award-winning film company, originally acquired SoulPancake in 2016. We believe uniting the two brands is the best decision to leverage our audiences, resources and brain power to create meaningful change in the world, especially alongside our community of artists and activists.

[@1TrueGem]

And here I thought they were just turning the fires back on & finally getting back at it. That's too bad to see Soul Pancake end; I do hope it's spirit is continued in some way that reaches many people.

We're firing up for something new and fresh! Stay tuned :)

Thanks for being with us this entire time!!! What have you learned over the years???

[@sliverofamoment]

Hmm good question. I remember being really inspired to make my own videos when I saw the videos of that girl who made videos using a bunch of cardboard sets. I forget her name but she lived somewhere in Asia. I also really remember how helpful and interesting the science of love was. I think soul pancake really contributed to my belief that kindness can get you far in the world and vulnerability is profoundly important for connection. Thank you!

I wish Rainn Wilson could do a feature story video about me. I am a Mexican with cerebral pals that lives in Texas in the town of Denton. I am a pyrographic artist (wood burner) that has a flare for life. I lived in Denton for 30 years and graduated from the University of North Texas with my Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with a minor in Psychology. I am a member of the Denton Committee on Disability. I use an Amigo Scooter to get around Denton. I traveled to, despite the objections of some people, Las Vegas and Disney in Florida on my own without my aids. I have been to Austin, San Antonio, and Houston and I often go to Dallas for events by train. My house sits near every business needed including major grociery chains, theaters, banks, and gaming facility with one large hotel. I'm like a George Lopez without the bad hair. I sell my art at markets. My only regret is that I am still single at 55 years old. I would love to discuss a video shoot with me. Message me and I would love to meet Shane & Hannah.
