[@fredoliveira8529]

I've been here since Nathaniel 1.0 !!! Excited for this new phase.

[@jsemlukas]

me too!

[@Rfpepe7295]

I am a 1.0 guy also

[@cinemavanya]

Literally here since 10-20k subs on the main channel 🎉

[@Dap740]

Me too!

[@lucamarcantonio]

Same

[@JackHarries263]

Ahh lovely to have a shout out in this video. Always been a fan, your videos are exceptional. Excited to see what you do next! (From Jack)

[@nobackupplan]

That means a lot coming from you Jack! Thank you for being you.

[@ValQuinn]

You're not even 30 and you're already honing your style into something unique. You're gonna do great things. Clicking subscribe all those years ago in Nathaniel 1.0 was one of the best decisions I made.

[@hannafromatlanta]

I started Nathanial 1.0 when I was in college, now I am 25 (turning 26 in February) and working in PR; thanks for bringing us along the journey, Nathaniel! Super excited to see what comes ☺️

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

Wishing you the best ❤ here’s to new beginnings 🥂

[@lucamarcantonio]

Basically the same story 💫

[@JrnieJade]

I think it’s incredibly profound and mature as a creator to understand you need to push the envelope but also keep contact with the audience and the community you have carefully curated. I am extremely excited to see how you flourish in this next chapter of your life! *Happy tip for this next chapter:* Many moons ago, my fiance recommended your content when I was learning Spanish and French and wanted to show me your approach. My segue to your artistry was through *language*, but now I continue to watch because I love the lens you have on the world and I adore how you and your team work to represent your perspectives. I love how bold you are and how you stay true to authentic practices even when it goes against the grain of what pop culture typically would want from someone in their age bracket. You are fearlessly yourself in light of the greater good. Phenomenal. I think this is all to say, that I encourage you to take breaks and explore other parts of the world/other industries/other art forms that you are genuinely curious about and implement your new discoveries into your storytelling abilities. You were interested in language and through this small window I found you, but I stayed because of what you represent as a whole. Stay curious, explore and share if you feel it makes sense. No one can duplicate the complexity of your path and I truly believe there are more curious minds who are waiting to find you with a small little lens you will soon create. *Random Happy Compliment:* The lighting makes me feel like I am drinking a warm glass of tea. It’s very calm and inviting, but paired with the tonality in your voice the entirety of this video makes me feel hopeful, interested and inspired.

[@nobackupplan]

What a lovely comment. Thank you so much!! I do plan to take some time to just live life as well and see how that informs my desire to create (and what!).

[@HarrisonKing]

When that aspect ratio change hit I knew we’re about to get into something GREAT can’t wait

[@jenniferjack6134]

Your filming and style is already so inspiring, cannot wait to see how it develops going forward!

[@meyerjoseph5901]

Happy to hear you’re constructing and creating more cinematic and artistic videos on KZbin. It’s inspiring to me. Excited to see this next step.

[@nathanhildreth9777]

Keep at it! ❤ thanks for the update.

[@Rissa1111]

Excited to see the new chapter of videos. Happy Holidays!❤

[@tahanitrips]

We love all your phases. Thank you for sharing this with us, and I look forward to your new videos.

[@ros.an.]

when you first mentioned naming phases of your life it really struck a chord with me, recently I had a significant reflection and decided I'm entering my 'Chapter Five' for very similar reasons, sometimes we just need to intentionally outgrow ourselves to keep our spirits nurtured and fresh and alive :)

[@thinclient]

Always keeping it fresh 👌🏻Good luck Nathaniel! We'll keep growing by your side :)

[@jennyelena]

I love the fearless reinvention and trying new things! This whole video resonates so much, in every way!

[@kamidsjournee]

I’ve been here since Mexico and your work has been a mainstay!! I’m living a creative life vicariously through you. Thank you!

[@tiffanygurova5324]

Thank you for the update! Go at your own pace and you will do great. We’ll be here 🤗 Nathaniel 1.0 Club

[@TristanSharman]

You’ve been inspiring me in all sorts of ways since Nathaniel 1.0, I can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes you! Wishing you all the best with it!

[@mel4896]

I cant wait!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you

[@nicoskefalas]

I love seeing this kind of content! It’s quite hard to reinvent yourself!

[@seanmillions]

background on point ! incredible home setup.

[@alejandrocalderond.8298]

I love this approach, it gives you permission to grow and evolve. So many content creators get burned out for fear of change. Thanks for the inspiration! Keep creating, I will follow you!

[@annastayziaa]

thanks for updating us 😊 we appreciate these updates!

[@matheusvasconcelos4938]

When you put it that way it makes me realize I've been following you since Nathaniel 1.0, and how fast time has passed. I'm really happy to see your growth and I also admire the effort and dedication you put into your videos, it's really genuine and authentic. Excited for what's to come dude. Cheers from Brazil!

[@Citizen4Change]

Just subscribed to Nathaniel Drew 4.0. Thanks for sharing your content and journey. Excited for you and this next chapter!

[@teobicchieri7605]

Been really enjoying the videos and the commentary. Its fantastic to see a real human being grappling with real human questions and experiencing a real human life. Good luck and glad to be able to keep watching.

[@ale.rdp1]

Love your videos, love the simple ones, the majestic ones, the tiny updates... I'll be here until Nathaniel 20.0 and more!

[@neharehman8245]

I remember being in high school and watching 'Nathaniel Drew 1.0' and now I am 22 and have just graduated college! Super Excited for the future of this channel and what's more to come!

[@aileenfritz3294]

It's amazing to see you going through all those phases and see how you grow :) I have also been there since Nathaniel 1.0 and you inspire me with every single one of your stories! Keep going ☺

[@pollyaf99]

Love your work. I don't care what version it happens to be. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!!!!!🎉❤😊🎉

[@thevahandbook]

I love this. There is something about being immersed in a beautiful video that is so moving. Some of Jonna Jinton's videos are so breathtaking that they reduce you to tears. Yet they are also intimate and warm. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

[@noemischwarz1643]

I love it thank you for your update ❤️

[@ryanscottlogan8459]

I wish I had your fun adventurous personality when I was young!Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!❤️

[@MMFrostic]

I found your videos right at the beginning of lockdown and binged watched them. It's been amazing to see how your content has evolved over the years. The idea of reinventing yourself hits hard right now. I'm a similar path. I'm excited to see how your journey continues!

[@downtherabbithole9143]

Thanks for the update Nathaniel. Really looking forward to 4.0!! Change excites me & I love your videos & your messages & your exploration into the arts, in its many forms. This is going to be fun!!

[@rhiyabhattacharyya880]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos.. they feel so intimate and personal. Honestly, your channel is a comfort space for my inner self to open up and understand itself. Thank you always!❤

[@kristinanick1019]

🙏🏻 Wonderful as always how you share this announcement with us. We're happy you're intending to balance more with your always enriching inspirig work. Happy start of 4.0 and enjoy a great Christmas season Nathan 🤗

[@antoniaaltenkamp4879]

I started watching your videos in high school. Some of your stories have hugely shaped my perspective, how I communicate and how I feel about what I want out of and can achieve in life. Really happy to be able to follow along your journey and many thanks

[@meetmewithin]

Love it, love it, love it. ❤ You're an inspiration for me.

[@matthewmaclellan_]

So excited for this, Nathaniel! I'm from FxF, and am super interested to see you pursue this direction, it's something that really interests me.

[@user-ik2no7jw5g]

Interesting to watch you grow and change. Looking forward to the next phase.

[@MrAlexy90]

Your story telling and cinematography skills are second to none. I’ve watched some of your videos several times and I still find myself engaged like it was the first. You’re so wise beyond your years and I’ve found so many of your videos helpful throughout the years, from the first video I saw “people feeling behind in life” to self help, to your videos of Paris that gave me the idea to visit there on my most recent holiday, to even your dads channel. Looking forward to the 4.0 version of you sir! Keep on smiling!

[@ritchiewong16]

Hey Nathaniel 👋, It amazes me to see how far you’ve come as a KZbinr in a span of 8 years. I’m excited to see what you have with Nathaniel Drew 4.0! Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗

[@babsdebipopsLiz]

Excited to know the 4.0 version ! I like that you are upgrading yourself from 1.0 to 4.0. It's inspiring for me to realise that our changes are not always bad and that it doesn't mean that we are lost or undecided... Thank you for sharing your thoughts

[@jessiemenil]

Looking forward to it, Nathaniel! Been a fan since 2.0 and stuck with you ever since. You're fire.

[@tanyasavrimootoo5808]

You’re a beautiful storyteller…and an endearing purpose seeker :) looking forward to seeing what this new cinematic phase brings

[@TonyHightower]

Excellent. I've moved to Paris just this year, and I'm in a serious reinvention as well (that involves making videos on a different level than before). You've been an inspiration. Good luck, and I look forward to seeing you around.

[@CarloPavan]

We evolve as we grow up, and there's such beauty and energy in reinvention! I'll support your new phase for sure, it sound really exciting!

[@analauracruvineldecastro4708]

Thought about you today, I’ve missed your videos! Happy and excited for this new era 🎉

[@LydiaWolfeWrites]

Congratulations on this new chapter, Nathaniel! So looking forward to what you create in 4.0!

[@TallerdeVitrales]

Felicitaciones Nathan por tus años de dedicación a tus producciones. Te he venido siguiendo desde los primeros videos y me alegra mucho que no solo no estes estancado sino todo lo contrario, estas fluyendo hacia un nuevo ciclo. El primer video que vi de vos fue uno en el que contaste la penosa experiencia que pasaste como Au Pair en la Argentina. Todo lo que aprendiste desde el inicio y que tuviste la generosidad de compartir han sido valorados. Tenes una manera tan bien articulada de contar las experiencias que da gusto acompañarte. Espero el estreno cuando llegue su momento!

[@Patricia-vd9xh]

Watching since your first video, looking forward to more.

[@stephanieni5580]

love this!

[@AdrianLoganLive]

I'm quite literally going through a similar process as I type. Just finishing up the KZbin banner for the rebrand. Whether as a creator or just a human being, we are never stagnate. We all constantly exit and enter new phases of life. Looking forward to your shift Nate. You've been an inspiration to myself and many others.

[@AyadKhalil]

Been watching you since the forest videos, it's been a delight watching you evolve over time. and I'm very excited to see where you head next.

[@jessycafeiteira7726]

Been here since version 1.0. Can't wait to see whatever you come up with for the next season

[@null33334]

Been watching your videos since Mexico days, and I really felt the power of your message because I was going through a similar stage in my life at that time too. Especially being oriented around self-improvement and hardcore discipline. Anyway, always really enjoyed you content, can't see where the road will take you! Keep up the great work, Nathaniel!

[@mecsp]

I am so excited about what you are doing and taking on something new. Yea!

[@tasodrums]

Damn, interesting, let's see what the future holds! But gonna admit, have been missing the podcast, hope more episodes soon!

[@bthomson]

This is one of my favorite kind of videos! An articulate, well spoken ( are those different?) creator just talking to us about their thoughts and plans. Looking forward to 4.0!

[@wildlyimaginable]

It’s through watching your videos and witnessing your iterations that gave me impetus to start my own journey. Looking forward to ND 4.0. Bring it on!

[@rubinagomes2950]

Now that I am watching this video, I am realizing that I too go through this situation every 1.5-2 years. You are consciously leveling up while my vision for my life forces me to see that there is no other way but to change things up. And no matter how uncertain and unknown and scary it feels, once I know that I have to move on to this new path I can't unsee it. I have to do it. Maybe that's how life is.

[@bartekmalinowy]

Dude!!! This absolutely rocks! Can't express how excited I am for you, this channel and everyone watching. Honored to have played a tiny part in this! Here's to Nathaniel Drew 4.0! 🥳

[@lukebaldwin3335]

Been here since since 1.0 been enjoying your videos and podcasts they help me a lot thank you hope one day I'll run into you in my travel it qould be an amazing day

[@rikkleijer7816]

have been here for a long time and will hopefully remain even longer, I am excited to see this new chapter unfold!

[@americanwadewilson]

Excited about 4.0! Keep doing you

[@Blackflame-jl7pf]

That inspires me to evolve as well!!:) Love what you're doing nathaniel! Keep that up!:)

[@therealrayster]

continue inspiring Nathan!

[@mariaplesar]

Dear Nathaniel!!! I love your videos!! The way you are telling stories is so great and authentic . I am listening to all your podcasts!! I want to create KZbin videos and inspire people like you do. Take your time... We will all wait for you!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@Borifra]

Super! Very interested! So cool

[@MulliganGabriel]

You know I only joined 2 or 3 years ago, but you truly are someone who I feel sees the world in such a beautiful and meaningful way. I'm not really sure why, but it's the way you tell the story, the way you hold the camera, the way you love those around you, everything you do feels like home. God bless.

[@bellaluce7088]

Nathaniel, the fact that you're willing to change things up to honor what feels right to you is itself an important message. ❤ BRAVO, and I can't wait to see what comes next!

[@joelGi]

Amazing. Can't wait to see what you do. Small suggestion though the old self help type videos really helped me. I can even say changed my life for the better. The cold shower, meditation, north star, journaling, language learning type videos. Try to incorporate those styles or related topics in your new cinematic intimate type videos. Can be about your learning process to make more cinemstic videos, can be about travel not just typical self help. Best of luck to you bro.

[@JenShea]

Here since your transition into 1.0.looking forward to what comes next!

[@carolyngelland-frost5340]

Good luck!

[@safaabahar2786]

I dont know what to say, but I am so excited. I have been following you for a long time and everytime I see your new videos, I get so happy. I wish all the best in your new journey, but please make more videos where you talk and share your experience basuse we love that!!!

[@cynlagos]

This is exciting, I will be there for this new journey

[@scottwillimack184]

Again, well done my friend. ❤🙏

[@manuelnavid4558]

Hey Nathaniel!! I love how you summarized your different phases as a creator in such a simple and elegant way. I'm curious to see how things evolve!! As a tip, if you feel certain videos would be best consumed in a certain environment (i.e. with headphones not speakers, or in a quiet place and not a café, with a cup of a warm team or with a glass of wine, etc.) please state so at the beginning of the video! Although not everyone will do it, some people will make the effort to do so, which will enhance greatly the feelings you're trying to transmit with your videos, such as being more personal, intimate, and raw. Hope this makes sense, if not lmk and I'll rephrase! hahaha Hugs from Barcelona

[@nobackupplan]

That is a great idea!! Thank you for the suggestion

[@thomaslipskyoliveira8510]

love you mate, youre a big influence to me

[@rottenhistory8718]

Really hope that Nathaniel gets here on the curve because what I really appreciated about the videos or essays was how carelessly yet so artistically beautiful they sound and look and not like the modern era of content where it is with thousands on thousands of fast edits and cuts to stimulate

[@CyBlue23]

I found you during Nathaniel 1.0 & it was much needed content at the time for me. I enjoyed having more content regularly at the time because I was looking for inspiration & seeing productive people + the questions you were asking & topics you were exploring at the time really helped taking me out of my routine & want to do more things too. But nowadays I enjoy not knowing when your next video is too. It’s like a little surprise & I get super excited. It’s also super reassuring to me when you get into a new phase aha I feel like I’m allowed too 🙈 Besides, your phase 3 helped me love Paris again & want to explore it more since I’m not sure I’ll stick around (I live near Versailles) once I’m done with my professional reconversion. It was what let me realize I was taking the city for granted. So all that to say … I’m not going anywhere and I can’t wait for the future content you have under your hat.

[@user-wg3ui8db6s]

Been here since 2018! Excited to see where this goes next ❤

[@bethstratton3391]

I have been watching you since before you came to Paris. I want to wish you luck with phase 4.0. I’m here for the cinematic filmic glimpses into your world view. I have enjoyed watching you grow over the years and so it will be interesting to see what direction you travel in and what topics you cover moving forward.

[@NathanColtrane]

Hmmm... The transition from 16:9 to 3:2 🤌 excited to see what you're working on! It's been a pleasure to witness your journey and see you grow so much as an artist & creator.

[@janebaker966]

Its good to have a number of alternative ways to go in your work as the world is getting more unsettled and fractured all the time. And something like KZbin could be shut down,closed at the whim of i dont know who,but powerful peopie. We live in strange times. You,Nathaniel,are one of those people gifted with a mature insight into human nature (even when you were younger). I think a LOT of life is totally beyond our control or choice. More than we think.

[@RoamwithJeep]

Found you on one of Kara and Nates vloggs - Thanks for an insight view of your journey my dude . Lets go 2024!!

[@JonasStuart]

Love it Nathan. Love the 4:3 aspect ratio - definitely export in 4:3 rather than within 16:9 and it'll come up bigger on monitors that are less widescreen (like a mackbook pro) and not compromise what people see on a wider screen (like a phone!)

[@axaxadev]

I love you, Nathaniel! You're my friend. Thank you!

[@R0HAN.]

Never ever disappointed clicking on a Nathaniel drew vid... ❤🎉

[@faustine8457]

Been here since Nathan’s way! Looking forward to your new adventures

[@FredinFrench]

Hâte de voir ça ! Et hâte de voir comment la personne qui m'inspire le plus dans la création va me faire évoluer. ;)

[@celinemugica]

I have the exact same experience with change in my life and how it seems to happen every 1/1,5 years. Its like I try really hard to choose something which seems to align with my current values and emotional disposition and to try and stay in it for as long as possible. But then comes that 1,5 year mark and TADA I've got to change no matter what 😅 This would deeply frustrate me because I felt it showed a certain disatisfaction or restleness. This year however I had decided to get closer and curious with myself and let things flow and be more accepting of this rythm of change. We all have seasons and there are certainly reasons for that. Your complete embracing of your chapters and your hopefull storytelling of those different seasons in your creative endeavours help me to realise that there are teachings which happen in all those moments of movement (even if they feel like pure chaos sometimes). We are a leaf in the wind which comes to rest in some places before being blown away again to the next adventure. Thank you for that! Greetings from a frenchie living in the Netherlands

[@urvashisangwan8858]

All the best man!❤

[@guadalajaralanguage8766]

Love you man

[@3Leches]

Excited!

[@justonemorestitch]

This couldn't have been timed anymore perfectly. Yesterday. I went through all of my KZbin subscriptions and unsubscribed from tons of channels. When I came upon your 2 channels. Something told me to just leave them and wait and see what happens and voila. Here you are. Can't wait to see what Nathaniel 4.0 brings us🎉

[@antonio.paladino]

It might be scaring leaving a well walked path to embrace something new but when the soul calls I think we can’t avoid listening to it

[@sundog3150]

Hey, I clicked the bell years ago. When you were ready to post something I knew. It was always a happy surprise and I made my tea and settled down to see what was new with you. You are like one of my grandchildren, to this 75 year old. I wait to find out where you have landed, what is new in your world, what you are thinking about and I appreciate you sharing it with me/us. Enjoy this new adventure, keep us in the loop, trust me when I say we are very interested in your journey. Much love and energy being sent your way. Grammybea from the Midwest of the USA❤❤❤❤

[@PeterSu]

Excited for the next phase!

[@ShafferN]

stoked for you m’brotha
