Became a patron after the last video, and as a software eng who left a salary to try to start my own company while training for my first ultramarathon, seeing your journey and approach to life has been so inspiring. Also your renaissance approach to mastering so many things is insane haha. If you're ever in SoCal, you've got a free meal on me. Keep on the grind man.

[@rasher331]

You guys have plenty of time to go back into Software if you like. You're lucky enough to have that as an option if things dont work out or if you've had your time in the Athletics and want to go back to a 9 to 5.

[@kadenreybrock6912]

Phenomenal. The quality and narration on this video are fantastic, but it's all about your mentality. It's simply infectious, and I hope you know that your efforts to be the very best version of yourself through all the adversity is extremely admirable. Keep up the great work Ari, and thank you.

[@Notnotcam]

The ultimate strug pro back at it. Thanks for sharing your journey and best of luck in the next chapter

[@BrainBreakLand]

This was your best video by far, Ari. Regardless of view count, regardless of content. This is it!! WOW The editing, the storytelling, the music. So artistic, moving, and amazing. Keep up the awesome stuff, and take it one day at a time!

[@jacobthiessen7027]

Totally hyped for the Lionel video/videos. It's gonna be epic.

[@jessicapalapuz5742]

All your content just screams authenticity. I'm inspired by the intention and genuine way you live and share your life. Rooting for you and Johnny's success and will now make my way to your Patreon :)

[@colinbonds2389]

BRO!!! Lionel as a coach....legendary!!

[@cyclox73]

Find local group rides and you’ll get the lay of the land pretty quickly. It’s a friendlier environment where people will be more likely to give you advice on what to do and what not to do. Bike races are a bit more cutthroat. Also with bike racing, having a team is important but you can conquer them solo as long as you know how to position yourself. Props to you for getting out there and hanging for as long as you did... my first bike race I got dropped almost immediately!

[@jamesongaertner9416]

This is outstanding, Ari. I hadn’t been watching your videos as much because I just wasn’t that interested in the bike stuff, but this blew me away. Really an inspirational work.

[@gallagherii]

Content, story telling, fliming & editing, music, Ari as a character. This is so so so so good. Amazing work lads. Just know that you are inspiring a bunch of people on the other side of the screen with your channel and work.

[@ethanmccallister5361]

Your vids honestly just hit different, you are able to bring something to these videos that all of the other KZbinrs lack and it makes them really enjoyable and inspiring

[@drym3943]

I encourage you to watch lionel Sanders videos. He hits the same as Ari. PS: it is the man talking in the very last clip. ( I don't know why he is in the video but i guess there will be a colab)

[@KozBro28]

Hey Ari, I really appreciate this video, been following your journey for a while and this is such an eloquent and powerful mini documentary. I love the artistry Johnny and you put into it. As a varsity track athlete who is graduating next month, I (very frequently) get caught in the mindset of I love the sport but do I need to give it up. Your quote at the beginning of searching for happiness is something I really enjoyed hearing, I appreciate the inspiration your channel has given me to continue running and that is a mindset I definitely want to take going forward. I'm really sorry to hear about all you've had to endure this difficult year, but I'm wishing you all the best going forward in your training, art creation, and search of happiness.

[@kiernan3995]

i actually saw you that friday before your race at the high school. I was with a couple of teammates doing mile reps and 300’s there. woulda said hi but i didn’t want my coach to think i wasn’t focused on my quality session. regardless of that though incredible race and hope to see you back in Austin soon! 🦾

Gilbert’s got some Olympians in the making

[@conorbrendandunne160]

Hey, Ari. I've been following your videos since you made the channel. To see the improvement in content, storytelling and production quality is one thing. But to see you in the process of handling setbacks, changing directions and branching out into a new sport and way of life is even better. I take so much away from it. Keep up the work rate; I look forward to seeing where this journey will take you!

[@davidgutierrezperez1886]

One of the greatest video I have ever seen. Great work man! It was an amazing 5k. Keep up like this

[@humbertoestrada4215]

The way you're accepting the feeling of loosing someone is just the perfect way that every person has to do so. Keep on going Ari!

I got like 50 different deep Strava quotes outta this.

[@BenIsRunning]

This gave me chills. Absolutely nailed this guys. Keep at Ari, there's noway someone as driven as you in endurance sport can't be successful. All the best moving forward

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

Hi there Ari. I sort of stumbled across you on a Lionel video. Now I have watched some of your own videos. Really love the vibe and the music. I have been a runner for 37 years, yes I am that old, a marathon runner, half marathon 10k 5k everything, and for the last 20 years a triathlete, and yes all of that also. Ironman half Olympic the whole nine yards. I wish I could boost a 13.57 5k. Now subscribed. Keep up the work, I am sure your decision to give up your everyday. Will pay off! My every day was 30 years in Social work. Now semi-retired and a few hours a week doing what I love. Teaching swimming to old and young. The rest of the time, well that's the dream. Swim Bike and my first love run!1! Look forward to checking in on your progress.

[@milamberstormblessed5574]

Yooo the magic the gathering tank tho

[@drym3943]
