Vloghai Knights (What Day Is It, Inspiration, and Influencing Positive Change)

[@druidslikepickles]

I am so thankful to have you guys to watch and inspire me to be who I am and do what I want to do! Without ApprenticeEh and some other select KZbinrs I would still think my dreams weren't possible! Thank you all again for inspiring me and being there for me to brighten my day even though you've never met me! You are all amazing people! This was just something I thought you all should know!

[@TheNinjabrownie]

Cory has made a positive impact on a lot of people's lives, mine included. I've learned a lot from him not only on positivity but you have shown me about friendship in my life. You truly have made me aware of many different aspects in my life. I'm grateful to Cory and the ApprenticeA team. Thank you.

[@1dancer2009]

I think it's amazing how much you care about the way you affect the people who watch your videos. I admire you and want you to know that you have influenced my life and you are all people I look up to. Thank you for being such awesome people and not being afraid to show what you feel and who you are.

[@DominiqueLempares]

I love when inspiration just attacks me like that. I find that I get so much done when the inspiration to get it done is present and once it leaves, I drag my feet, doubting myself and just end up doing nothing, which never helps. I really liked what you said, Corey, and I think it shows a lot of maturity for you to acknowledge it. Recently, I've had to acknowledge some things about myself and it wasn't easy. Keep up the amazing work you do and know that we all love it. PS I like you in glasses.

[@Celinejones101]

Without even realising, Corey and the apprenticeeh team has influenced my positivity more then I thought was even possible. I've managed to see my life better and (hopefully) improve others because of the huge amount of positive energy that I get after watching these vlogs. No matter what is going on in my life at a time, the second I put the vlog on my spirits are lifted, my mind has changed and I see the world in a whole new light. Thank you.

[@ConwaytheWizard]

Thank you for your inspiring words Corey, I know that you've motivated a lot of people to start making their own videos, to go out and create something special. You have influences positive change in all of us, and we are eternally grateful for what you, and everyone else in the Apprentice A household has done for us. Always be safe, and may the force be with you.

[@WelchFusilier]

Corey, you have had a positive affect, through all of what you've done. Your work has helped me through some very emotionally challenging times. You indirectly helped me choose what college program I am taking. Simply put, you've made my life better and everyone there is an inspiration to all of us. I am glad that I found you about 400 days ago. I feel like my life would be rather different without all of you in it.

[@TheRealProtagonists]

Corey, thank you for sharing your writing with us. I'd also like to mention that you, and everyone else at ApprenticeEh are personally my inspiration to vlog. I consider you all my Canadian friends, you have helped me through bad times in my life. I want you to know that you have positively changed my life, and I'm sure, the lives of many others who watch your vlogs. I'd like to thank you for influencing positive change in my life.

[@Mrpapayaheadrulesall]

I don't know how you guys do it, but I always finish the vlog feeling really good inside. Thank you guys for caring so much about the small viewership that you do have rather than trying for the larger viewership that I'm sure you could get.

[@ElaineSmith563]

What you said Corey is exactly the reason I love ApprenticeA so much, why I believe you guys are the most inspiring and genuine KZbinrs that there are. It sounds silly but i wouldn't be who I am today without you guys, so I am definitely one of the ones who have been positively influenced. You deserve every viewer that you get, because the viewers that you get aren't just anyone; we support you, and we know what you go through pretty much everyday. Thank you for making our days brighter!

[@IntegerStanley]

All of you are incredibly inspiring. Seeing people work so hard and with such passion on things they believe in is a really positive influence, especially in a world where it is so difficult to find such. You inspire me not only creatively but also as a human being. You're amazing people and I no doubt am a better person for having such role-models in my life.

[@hicksa3]

Whether it be the Shaytards, CTFxC, vlogbrothers, or ApprenticeEh, all of you have positively affected my outlook on life. It IS possible to be passionate, caring, and humorous about friends, family, and work. It's inspiring to see it every day in the vlogs. This is a great community of people here on KZbin. So glad I get to experience it :)

[@Bynbyn101]

Thank you Corey. Your words made it even easier for me to decide that I will push forward with what I want to do and not what others tell me I should do.

[@kieranmccann94]

ApprenticeA as a company and community is amazing. The videos being produced are amazing and to be honest I would still watch if there was only one video was being produced because there's always quality the apprenticeA quality where you won't find anywhere else. Keep up the good work.

[@horizon241]

I've always believed in the "Pay it Forward" philosophy, where you do a random good deed for a stranger or strangers and all you ask in turn is that they "pay it forward" to someone else, who in turn pays it forward, ad infinitum. This way, one person can make a small gesture with exponential results.

[@coffeeandwizards]

This. This is why I love you all. This kind of work ethic makes me happy. The people who say that our generation is lazy obviously haven't heard of ApprenticeA.

[@WhitneyKoerner]

Wow, Corey... That definitely moved me. Keep doing what you love to do. Your more "intimate" fanbase is what makes this such a great team. You all are great people. Oh. And one more thing. I remember one late night on Corey's BlogTv about a year ago. Corey, you were talking to us and one person chatting mentioned something about them being your "fan." You stopped them in their tracks and said "You guys aren't my fans, you're my friends." I'll never forget that. Thank you, Mr. Vidal.

[@xokittykat5xo]

I wanted to say thank you. As a junior in highschool, everyone is constantly pressuring me about my future and what I want to do with my life. I have always put down the idea of pursuing anything I truely enjoy because it was "impractical" or "unrealistic". But, today, in this vlog, you made me realize that my life ,while it affects everyone around me, is my own and I should follow my dreams not because they make sense but because i want to, Thank you Corey

[@Darkrising1993]

Corey you inspire me to feel better about my own work, so I can actually upload something for once. Because I was made fun of when I was younger my confidence about myself and what I can do has diminished. To top that off I suffer from depression. But seeing you and all the ApprenticeEh team in every vlog inspires me to feel more confident about myself because for me it's not what people think of me that matters, it's what I think of myself that matters. Thank you Corey and the ApprenticeEh team

[@stephenkelly7263]

I never leave comments on KZbin videos-- seriously, I've never done it before-- but you guys 100% deserve it. I can think of very few places on this fair internet that contain as much positivity, creativity, and joy as ApprenticeEh. Every day, just at the point when I don't feel like doing anything or can't see it making a difference either way, I watch everyone here hard at work while having an awesome time in the process and BAM! I'm excited about stuff again. Thanks to all of you!

[@AccioNerdfighter]

Corey, I think you've found something vital. We can't change the world in a positive manner without first changing ourselves first. We must remove the log from our own eye, so to speak, before we can dislodge the speck in our brother or sister's. I've only had the pleasure of meeting you all once (at Playlist, you guys signed my birthday Canada hoodie and wrote me a story) but I feel very close to you all and I pray for you all. I thank God for you daily. Keep up the good work! Much love

[@MrSmith717]

I'm thankful that my parents influenced positive change around me and in my personality since childhood. In my view I have grown to be a completely different person with quite the different value system and maybe an old-fashioned taste (but not strictly) than most of 19 year-olds nowadays. Thank you, ApprenticA for being my Kind of company!

[@kpieckiel]

Part of the difficulty in figuring out how to make positive changes in the world around you is that different parts and different people react to different influences. AppA or specific members thereof may motivate me socially while they may motivate someone else here in a more creative sense. Anyone working toward this goal -might- find it more effective to determine where or how they want to make a difference and then focus energies in that more specific area.

[@The_New_Number2]

I'm pretty sure i'm not special, but I know that y'all are because you make other people's days better and that's the most special thing anyone can do for anyone else. so thank you for making my days better by letting me watch you and making me feel like i belong here and responding to my comments

[@nitrohite]

Loved the writing. I'm not crying... I just have something in my eyes....

[@immolli1]

I think the best and easiest way to make the world a better place with the vlog community is to take some of Tim Deegan's advice and just smile and be polite at random people to make their day better.

[@musikistmeineleben]

I admire you Corey. You're always open and honest and simply you. You've being doing an amazing job with ApprenticeEverything.

[@nintendoisadictive]

Relating to what Corey said about he is happy if a video looks good it reminds of what my guidance counselor puts at the end of all her e-mails "Your day is brilliant, simply because you are in it." I don't need others negativity or outlook on life I should be happy simply because I am me.

[@blessedbyacurse]

Thank you all for making these vlogs. I've had a long day, and even though it's not that much of a positive change, you just made me smile so I'm going to say that for me, you have influenced a small but nonetheless positive change. Sometimes it's the little things that count.

[@annie92788]

I recently realized that I know a lot more about what's going on at ApprenticeA than about what's going on in the lives of many of my real friends. Vlogs communicate so much more than texts or fb posts can: emotions, personalities, facial expressions, etc. I feel like I know most of the AppA team personally, even though I've never been to Canada. I wish vlogging was universal - something EVERYONE did. Who knows? Maybe that's where social media is heading! Thanks for your hard work & YAY CONTIKI!

[@OrangeHatVlogger]

Corey, you're amazing. Your videos are one of the few rays of sunlight in my life. Thank you for that. It helps me keep going, despite the pain.

[@GingerRebellion]

That was really inspirational to hear. You guys always seem to come at the worst, or best of times. As I'm sitting here writing this comment, I'm thinking about all the hard work I'm doing, all the stress I'm going through, and the lack of people who see it. But the most gratifying thing in my life is getting a positive reaction of what I'm working hard to do, even if that was working hard to create myself as a person. Thank you for putting my comment at the end of the vlog. You made my day :)

[@xXM0zUsXx]

This is going to be one of those vlogs that i will remember and hopefully many others will too.. Thanks for the awesome writing you guys do inspire me

[@jedimarri]

Corey - we all really appreciate the amount of work you put into your videos and that you value quality over quantity so much. Besides, you get quantity with the daily vlogs :) Thank you for all of your hard work, thank you and every member of the ApprenticeA team!

[@foreverasconeh2369]

Dearest vlog, Thank you for the new viedos I can look forward to. Thank you for being so creative, and for not only pushing your selves to create but others as well. A few years back I watched the vlog daily and then sadly stop. A few months ago I decided to come back to vlog. O how I missed the vlog. I feel like I have a KZbin family with the vlog, because I enjoy knowing there are others like me out there. So much love vlog

[@LeonbowWildheart]

hey Corey, you probably know this but you have a very great talent in speaking. Its not just the way you talk or what you say. Even though they are both so genuine, powerful and engaging, its that I(we) feel that I (we) know you. You are our friend. Weekly talks like that about life/the world... would be amazing. Just like your KZbin story which is a beautiful video. Truly touching. Thank you for being you.

[@ForcefulOat]

Corey you're awesome. I read your post on Tumblr and gladly listened to you read it again. I can say that the vlogs have a positive change on me.

[@coffeecrisp76]

After watching, I couldn't help but reflect on the media project process. I sometimes tell first-time video clients that it's like having a baby. It begins rather innocently with an idea but soon you've reached the point of no return. You're committed! Along the way there are surprises and perhaps a few setbacks. Near the end the process can be very painful (no sleep!) and you wonder when it will ever end. But when you've delivered, you're happy to show it to the world!! And, you can face the

[@michellesloneker8790]

Thank you. You've inspired the people here and brought me to so many other KZbinrs. It's made me think about what I want to do, how I want to be remembered and who I want to be. So thank you. Be Brilliant and DFTBA, all of you.

[@rtc1088]

Thank u corey for sharing. I was touched by your words. They made me cry a bit because I can relate to them with my own circumstances. Recently, this past year I have been going through some hardships which have been forcing me to re-evaluate my current path in life, I dont feel I am the person I want to be but I'd like to be someday. Also, thank you and ApprenticeEh staff all for makinG my day brighter with the vlogs. For me, you guys have already influenced me to make positive changes.

[@mmontgomeryy]

Sometimes im hesitant if i was to study in photography. But people like you guys make me realize that if i love what in doing, everything will workout. Also, hi from ottawa (so close from you guys,yet so far)

[@meowjanet]

Baby steps make all the difference. I try to do something nice for others everyday.

[@coffeecrisp76]

the next project with more confidence and experience! Thnx Corey and the AppA team for your hard and talented work. Now get some sleep, ALL OF YOU!!

[@coffeecrisp76]

the next project with more confidence and experience! Thnx Corey and the App team for all your hard and talented work!

[@HiClarissaTan]

That was really inspirational. I totally feel the same when I have to cram to get design work done before a deadline. So much stress and hard work is put in to produce something that is amazing and beautiful and its always SO FREAKING WORTH IT!

[@jakeruss331]

Corey, thank you for that. I've been having trouble with where I wanted my life to go in the past few weeks. Thank you for the reminder that I need to focus on what's important and what I care about. Keep on striving for what you care about and it may just light the path for others to do the same. Thank you. P.S. You'd probably make a great inspirational writer/speaker. I'd buy your book!

[@jodiesaunders88]

I don't know how to change the world but my attitude on life is to be positive and happy my daily goals are to make at least one person smile or laugh and just do one good deed a day even of its just letting a car out of traffic in front of you

[@CarGirl713]

I think everything you and your wonderful friends do is AMAZING!!! You are such an inspiration! Y'all are by far the coolest people on the planet!

[@SmegChris]

What Corey just said reminded me what he told me at VidCon: 'Every video on You Tube is important.' You're always inspiring us, Corey. Keep it up.

[@ItsElliotGough]

That speech really got me. It was outstanding. Thank you.

[@xXxnofearnolimitsxXx]

your writing was amazing Cory, and I get what you are saying about how its not about how many views someone should get, I don't care about the money or fame, I want to make videos because I love to make them. I am grateful for the people who have viewed them and for the positive comments and support that I have gotten, but I'm not looking for "oh you should keep going you are absolutely amazing" all I want to do with my videos is make at least one person smile. You guys inspired me to do that.

[@sofiz_unicornz]

If I ever had the chance to make a motion picture and if I had the money, I would hire the ENTIRE ApprenticeA team to shoot the movie for me. It would probably never happen, but It's an awesome idea. You guys are among the best at what you do and I'm glad that we can ALL be a part of the behind the scenes on a daily basis. You're ALL OF THE AWESOME! Much love

[@GenericGrey]

@ApprenticeEh Corey, you are an inspiration to be trying to do good. I doubt I could offer any advice more than anyone else, but hopefully this helps. To change the world you must first involve the world. Find your cause, find your audience, and put your life into it. What you do now is an easy first step. The second step revolves around just what you want to change.

[@anjatjuuh]

love the text you told! i would never had read it on tumblr because i'm to lazy. but this was one of the most awesome and inspiring speeches i have ever heard, thank you for that!

[@Muphy202]

Your vlogs make me happy which is influencing a positive change in my world, thanks Corey! :)

[@JoshuaFletch]

You guys make the world a little better by making people happy. Keep on spreading the joy and... uh....WAKE UP CORRADOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[@MaraudingMagpie]

I don't even know what to write. I just love you all. And Corey? You will never know how much you've impacted so many peoples' lives, including mine. thanks

[@jasJupp]

I agree, sometimes I'm not sure if they know how much we really care about them all. And anyone can clearly see what kind of people they are, look at the community of people they have gathered, no nasty comments or flame wars. You guys are amazing!

[@Shaw194]

Corey we love you!! I was laying here crying and you captivated my bfs attention and he was moved( hard to do) thank you!

[@XtaticOne]

Corey, after reading through a bunch of everyone else's comments on here, I can tell you've already accomplished part of what you've set out to do. You've helped gather a community of forward thinkers together who all want to make positive change in the world around them. {B^)

[@ariana5691]

I'm so glad I found you guys on youtube because you always put a smile on my face whenever I see your vlogs

[@Leftyloveshuskies]

Just make videos you like, that is what makes us happy.

[@MarioSpencer555]

Your speech inspired me to just do the simple thing of getting by. because sometimes i don't really want to.

[@skatinanwaitin]

That was an amazing speech/post. I've been considering uploading videos recently and haven't, but if I ever do, that will now be the foundation I will try to build off of. I hope I do you justice, Corey.

[@Gengsty]

Everybody makes a change in the world, simply by existing. Even when you don't realise it, you make people change around you. What you have to do is just to become who you think you should be, and without really trying this will bring the world closer to what you think it should be. Small steps, but everything is made up from small steps. Cheesy, but I really believe in this. :) Anyway, ApprenticeEh comment section is one of the few ones that I like to read, because people are so nice here. :)

[@ldpensky]

I really love watching your vlogs! I look forward to them every day.

[@DarkGuardian53]

PS. Corey that tumblr post of your's was truly inspiring, especially that last few paragraphs. God-willing, we will overtime make this world a better place, by simply becoming the best of ourselves! :)

[@dexter_johnson]

Great writing Corey! This is exactly why I love these videos so much. You guys are great and I always speak very highly of you and the crew at Apprentice Eh.

[@warriorwitchwillow]

Man, did I pick the right day to watch this vlog. I've been in a bit of a funk the past few days because of a poor showing on the web series I've been posting on my production channel. I fell into that trap, the trap of view counts and reach, and comments. But you're exactly right, as long as it's something I've enjoyed making, it doesn't matter if it's seen by 1 or 100. It's out there, and people will like it or they won't. The important thing is, what's next?

[@pearlseasox]

Corey - I just hugged my laptop with your face on it. :) Thanks for being such an amazing role model for me.

[@maxmra]

really enjoyed your story, it was cool and nice to hear. I thought it was nice that you also made a record of that thought.

[@CorradoCoia]

Also, I believe a couple people are working on creating a forum.

[@manok7]

Dear Corey and the team,

[@thomasblockley7263]

Coreys speech at the end was fantastic. You could make us more involved in something like the Vlog Brothers?

[@MarkTheTechGuy]

I agree us KZbin partners don't do it for the money that is for sure we do it thinking our video's might help someone and that makes me happy.

[@GCTubaTim]

We love you Corey. You want to know how to make the world a better place? Keep on doing what you do. Your Tumblr post summed that up very well. Don't start making a stupid amount of videos about pop culture. Keep it real for your viewers. Don't become someone you're not, because we love you just the way you are. That goes for everyone at ApprenticeA Productions. If you guys are as real and emotional as you were in this vlog, that's all we care about.

[@saskiavanell]

Welcome to the family!

[@Preacher65]

How to influence positive change, by Fred. Be yourself, and don't compromise that person to ANYONE. Pay it forward once everyday. Learn to be optimistic, not pessimistic. Be humble, but confident. Have a vision, and goals to accomplish it. Don't let your life be controlled by worrry. The End.

[@betoulali7596]

I agree, agree, if that's correct. our ApprenticeA and Eh community is small, but we have it where it counts. Our hearts. (and computers with internet connections) thanks Corey, that was very inspiring! :)

[@fsskater13]

i saw a lot of you guys come to olympics of awesome i toronto...but i didn't realize that you were youtubers i thought that you were just friends with the people touring anyways now i watch your channel and its awesome to see some fellow canadians do some awesome stuff on youtube i appreciate all your hard work and enjoy everything you post :)

[@blackandwhiteclouds]

I love you guys -3 I look forward to the vlog everyday. I just found you guys in June and I have now watched every single one of the vlogs :) As well as most of the videos on appA and everyone else's channels :) The vlogbrothers used to be my favorite youtubers but now it's the appA crew because you guys are just so relatable and real, and have such great content! Don't ever stop vlogging guys!!! DFTBA

[@kpieckiel]

I can't deny that I look forward to the daily vlogs more than other productions, too. I think daily vlogs can be successful because they're more dynamic than scripted videos and are more real to life. I'd guess that scripted daily vids are harder to maintain because the interactions are forced and more predictable. This dynamic nature of vlogs is part of what appeals to me.

[@cynthiamentrup8523]

Oh my, I love you guys. AH. Corey you inspire me.

[@duckpondwithoutducks]

One thing that is nice about the fans of ApprenticeEh is that they really love the vlog, and there aren't all sorts of gratuitously nasty comments. Quality over quantity!

[@SimplySomethingCrew]

much love to corey and everyone at apprenticea/eh

[@xqueseraserax]

Well spoken, Corey. Really enjoyed the insight into how you feel about YT and the process. :D Also, I don't know how you guys do those all-nighters. I think its magic. My face would be hitting the keyboard like a fool if Iw as trying to do that.

[@volubleperspicacious]

You say you want to be a person who "influences positive change" but that you are not yet that person. I disagree. You, Corey, influence positive change daily. Personally, I can see the way you have inspired me in the past and continue to inspire me everyday. The positive change I create, and everyone else who is inspired by you create, is positive change that YOU influenced. We all find motivation and inspiration within one another, connected like a giant spider web, and if our web can (cont)

[@TheReviewTeam1]

good writing Corey

[@yoursillouette1260]

Corey, thanks for sharing such personal information with us. I was just wondering if you could possibly give us a full update of where all the former employees of ApprenticeA are at in their life and or careers?

[@MarkDemeo]

that was a great piece of writing corey,i enjoyed many of the points you made,also why you make videos is great it should never be for $ or fame not that there is anything wrong with that but it should be for the right reasons. you should always make the videos you want to make cause you have to be true to who you are,when i post a video i don't worry to much about views if i get 20 or 30 i am stoked its the few positive and supportive comments i get that make me want to keep posting.

[@fluffydaily]

I think all the creators should do something together. Not just one thing, but a continuous thing that anyone can be part of, build an even stronger community, and start with small things, maybe raising money for charity and things like that :)

[@EmilyFintaDesigns]

Hi sister. I hope we can go to Playlist live and meet the ApprenticeA team in March! :)

[@jcsongbird83]

beautiful.

[@saskiavanell]

Good luck on your race!

[@caf700]

omg i just saw this get uploaded!! I just want you guys to know i love all of you and you guys are amazing :D

[@kpieckiel]

Earlier today a friend of mine linked to me a picture of a cat with a really, really pissed off expression on its face. It was captioned with something bad about mornings or waking up. The scene with Corrado immediately reminded me of this. I can't say I disagree with Corrado. Or the cat.

[@kpieckiel]

You hit on what I've always hated about text mediums. There's little true value in emoticons when it comes to real expression, and words are misunderstood in a real life setting as it is--much less when you simply have them printed on a page or displayed on a monitor. You see it in many forms of communication. Even American Sign Language heavily involves facial expression and body language.

[@lionhrt38]

I love your channel, dont change a DAMN thing!

[@JoshuaOneNine92]

Thank you. Simply, thank you.

[@mybeckett74]

you doing a great job at it Corey i love wacthing your vlogs
