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]

[@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

[@rachaela.5567]

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!

[@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.

[@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. :)

[@Participant]

This is one of our favorite comments we've read. Thank you for cutting e-onions

[@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 :)

[@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!)

[@imalakk]

Why can’t i find the old soul pancake videos? That’s so sad 😞

[@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… ☮️❤️🌷

[@Participant]

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.
