hi ben! longtime watcher. you may be doing this, but i would suggest reaching out to van conversion companies in Europe and letting them know your renewed focus of restarting the daily vlogs, getting back to travelling, and potentially featuring one of their vans as the literal vehicles for your dreams. With the recent surge of interest/views in seeing "the old Ben Brown" back - NOT minimizing or invalidating the work you have done in recent chapters of your life or the upgraded version of you in any way - I feel as though at least one company would be willing to partner with you in exchange for a hefty dose of promotion. you are a huge influence and inspiration to many. best of luck!

Love a new video from you.

Hope you know you will always have a lot of people out here rooting for you!

It's so nice to have someone that checks in with not only themselves and understand their own transformation of self, but it also helps us go through our own journey but on also on a creative note theres always that day one where its boring and you only have dribs & drabs and don't really know where its going and how your gunna get there but it leaves room for the work and graft and then you have something beautiful...here for whatever you put out man because in itself this is already half of it lets put a lens on this chapter!!!!!
@thechadofsteel9 ай бұрын
Ben - As someone who is going through quite a transformational period himself right now, I can't articulate just how helpful and inspiring these vlogs have been for me... particularly the ones in which you are so vulnerable and open. It truly is emboldening to hear that someone else (particularly someone I look up to) is going through a similar situation, and while your optimism is certainly appreciated, I think you expressing your struggles helps a great deal more than you know. Your faith in yourself despite your current circumstances is helping others like us navigate our own and I just want you to know that.
@benbrown9 ай бұрын
I'm so grateful for this comment dude, you're reminding me to keep on sharing the more vulnerable stuff too, that actually the most spiritual thing we could possibly do it BE HUMAN! With all the perfect imperfections, the mess, the chaos and confusion, but to keep going and bring as much of us into this present moment as possible. I've been through these kind of changes before, and I've punished myself and sat in my own self pity enough to know that the only thing that brings me 'back' is me, my choice to keep going and smile and cry and laugh and say 'well, fuck! I guess we keep going!' life like this is a game of trusting myself and The Universe (aka God) more and more as I go. Fear is the illusion, let's alchemise the anxiety into excitement! Much love! x

Very much resonate with the process of letting go of the life I had imagined. Deep in grief at the moment, and trying to deal with the realities of what I do and don't have. So I appreciate you keeping it real and letting me (and others know) that we're not alone in not having everything figured out. As to your dream for van life, it sounds perfect and I wish it for you asap.

Thanks for putting me in the vlog yesterday, it was so special to see myself in your video. I had a strong feeling that you'll gonna put me in because I was trying to ask something outside the box. I'm so happy you are consistent and make it happen no matter the life challenges. Embrace them. Everythings happens for a reason.Maybe that is a good reason to record the sound on a diferrent device. Yeah I know it really sucks. It does happen to bigger houses. Btw I miss swallow t-shirt design, I think that was sooo unique and cool. I missed the dogs, the walking in nature and obviously your character that made this channel so special.

It seems like a lot of us are going thru a transitional period! I am... I was incredibly stressed out about it at the begining 6wks ago, but now I am super excited that the universe is giving me a fresh start at a new happier time of my life. I think it's how you look at the problem, there are 2 roads 1 negative and 1 positive it's our mindset that chooses the outcome.

The van will be getting an awful lot of screen time in the future. Maybe reach out to some van conversion companies and propose a cut price deal and in return they can brand the van? One of your visual vibes would be an incredible advert for them, that in itself is worth some serious money. Happy to draft an email to be sent onwards.

I’ve watched your journey bro for what feels like a lifetime but must be nearly 10years. Although I’ve gone through waves of your content in more recent years. And to be honest it’s not been just life but sometime content doesn’t resonate, which is okay, can’t like everything and win every time. But what I do love is watching excited, inspired and creative people putting out good energy to create a better life for themselves, and those around them(even if it’s through a screen) And a moment that I’ll always remember - after randomly bumping into you at a pub outside Westminster during protest. You happily chatted to me and my mate just about the boring stuff. That day stuck, I’m now 33! And still talked about how excited I was And I don’t even think that’s sad 😂 even if the gf thinks so. Keep doing you dude, release the pressure and enjoy life. ✌🏼

It's sad that the UK is not apart of the EU anymore because I believe there is a program where by you can get a vehicle with a blown engine for cheap, take it to these chaps in France who will convert it to Electric and with the tax write offs the EU grants you, it is really cheap for an electric vehicle that's a bit retro. Does Lou bags have a cast off vehicle you can buy? LOL What you will put together will be awesome. Since your in Surrey...can you take us to G!RO? it would be awesome to see that familiar backdrop.
