As a 32 year old, you are such a positive influence on my wellbeing Ben. Youve re-inspired me to take a step back, and enjoy life again, not just live it. Big love to you, and all who read this! Lets spread the love, and help him get a van haha. Good vibes
I feel like you are so tapped in to the greater connectivity and intuition - everything you talk about and are doing is a mirror to what I have been going through. You are so special - and thank you x
Inspiration is felt, all feelings are on the inside, you can ‘receive’ inspiration from the ‘outside’ of you, but what’s happening is part of you deep down is responding to the vibration of ‘you can do it!’
I’m so amped for this! Ben, you are an incredible person and I’ve watched you since the beginning. There’s something so lovely about seeing you home in the UK with the pups ❤ probably nostalgic for me. Cannot wait to see the next step and van life!! Yes!! You have always been an inspiration to me. Thank you!
I get chills from watching you get chills. I recognize that amazing feeling when you open your heart and let music, creativity and life fill you up! Very greatful for everything you do Ben, and for allowing others to grow along side you. Much love from Norway 🙏
Aaaaaahhhhhhhh - every time I start to write something about what you are saying - you go and say something else deep and incredible and then I think I'm gonna write something else, and then you add more depth to the conversation... No end in sight man! Awesome!!! Nature is always my go to place for inspiration and healing. It's everything to me. I live along the beautiful and magical Gulf of Mexico in Florida. MASSIVE energy. And love that animation - cool little dude. Big hugs to everyone.
I welled up when you closed with “keep your heart open”. I LOVE the Art of Flight, it’s so exquisite ✨ I feel alive when I listen to music and let it lift an emotion out of me (good or bad, the hard emotions are the ones you should give yourself grace to feel too). The animation is the essence of you right now, playful and exploring. It’s perfect
Been here since 2014. What a journey it’s been with you Ben! It’s a pleasure knowing you, even through this platform. ❤ I see you. Thank you for inspiring me to create my own path into this world.
Miss you brother, hope to see you again man! Glad that you are still inspiring people and listening to yourself. You have always inspired me and its crazy that when i was going through a huge life shift, you were too! Ever since wattching you making these important changes i related so much in my own experiences, you got balls to be so open on tthe internet man! Consistent courage 💪
I take so much comfort from you Ben. You are venerable and authentic. You remind me that the everyday, normal and even mundane are gifts which can be savoured in the present. Sending positivity and good vibes in your direction 🙏
My life has just changed, at 34 i've left my relationship and sold our house. A new start, but I am excited to become the best and truest version of my life. A fresh start.
Thank you, Ben, I love to watch your vlog again. Im on a slippery slope right now, and this vlog gave me so much positive energy to keep exploring myself and believing in the journey im on. So much love for u
Ben, 7 years ago I started again. I have been where you are. I got divorced, got sober, found myself, then the love of my life, then my friends, then my career restart, my wealth rebuild (from scratch), and my fulfillment. It will happen for you again - your energy is on point. You clearly have made a positive change and your energy is THERE. I would love to help you as a fellow creator, filmmaker, man, human. Reach out to me. Let’s have a call.
Hearing you say the sign off again is so nostalgic and wonderful!!It brought such a big smile to my face and warmth to my heart! ❤Thank you for being you Ben ✌️
Blessed you chose to answer my question Ben, thank you. More blessed that you've expressed how it makes you feel doing what you do and have now immortalised it in video form. Come back to this on days you don't feel so good or unsure you're doing the right thing. You legend.
Thank you for sharing as always Ben, would love to hear some more film/music reccs that have moved you deeply, especially as a fellow lover of The Alchemist and as someone who is moved profoundly by M83 💚
Good to see you back on TH-cam with the vlogs brother! Been watching since like 2011 or so and always enjoyed watching you, Louis, Steves travels. Can't wait to make a trip to Cape Town and London someday myself to explore! - Sidenote, be dope to send you some music/beats that your welcome to use in your videos!
Ben, this is amazing. Your energy is beautiful and inspirational. I love having you back. I can relate with everything you've said. I'm learning to be present. I've been meaning to reboot my own YT and get my business up. I'm just so exhausted.. ♡ I adore your animation, by the way! ❤
Music is one of the things that make´s me feel so intensily, it can make me relaxed, happy or inspired to thrive and chase my dreams. You are so special Ben! Keep inspiring us! ❤
THANK YOU BEN 🤲🏼 I just lost my dad… that make me slow down again becauss We live only 1 Life… so THANK You a gain for your positive vibes… You are most welcome Anytime in Paris ❤
Every video man - seems to have something that just hits me - thank you so much for sharing. To answer the question there was a video by Peter McKinnon called something like 'The Mountains Won't Remember Me'. Can't wait to see what life has in store for you - much love!
Today I finally sat on a racebike after thinking about it for years. I have been feeling so incredibly down the past weeks, maby months. And today I felt such a lively, fall in love kind of happiness inside. And with viewing this video, I really understand and feel what you mean. And, now I want to read the Alchemist too. A collegue once gave it to me after we had an amazing deep talk about being yourself, and what you believe in. Always great to see your video's Ben. Thanks!
To answer your question what gets me amped up. Right know its seeing you this excited and to see the positive light in your eyes. Gosh it even gets me excited to pick up my hobbies again.
Just gonna start off with I've been watching you since 2014/2015, since the South Africa/Pumba/Giro Coffee/etc days, when I really first got into watching youtube. I fell in love with the vlogging format and you were one of the vloggers who made me want to start youtube and vlogging. I gave it a few tries over the years, but never really committed to it. This year, I decided that it was now or never, so I challenged myself to doing 1 video every week for the entire year. Doing well so far with 7 videos posted and working on my 8th, with a few more videos banked and ready to be edited. I do vlog content, but centered around getting better at golf. I'm hoping I can inspire someone with a normal, everyday life that we can all be good at golf as long as we continue to put in the work and get 1% better everyday. Pretty happy and proud of myself for getting this far and I'm excited for the road ahead! Anyways what drives me/pushes me/inspires me is my girlfriend. She was diagnosed with cancer last year and she did not let that stop her from being herself. She's doing much better now and she's as full of life as ever. She makes me want to be better as a person, to give everything I've got to all the things I'm passionate about, and she makes me want to enjoy life as much as I can, even through the toughest and scariest of times. I love her so much. But yeah, keep rocking Ben! I've been following your journey through the years and will continue to keep riding the wave with you until the end!
Oh man, I think I watched The Art of Flight at least 10 times when it came out. The Naked and Famous felt like the soundtrack to my life when I was 21 years old. Nine years after seeing The Art of Flight was when I went down a slope for the first time on a snowboard. Experiencing first-hand how difficult snowboarding is made me appreciate that movie even more. The soundtrack still gives me goosebumps and I miss being that young and free. However, I am grateful for the wisdom and growth the years since then have brought us. Things turned out alright.
Theres a song by The King Blues called What if punk never happened well its a beat poem really but no matter how many thousands of times ive heard it I still get goosebumps and it still hits me in the chest and pumps me up
Great takeaway - Heart Knowing ❤🙏 dont underestimate what you are doing - because I believe it literally is the process of Peace-Making - collective consciousness is what can bring it about 🌏
i didnt know you liked the art of flight!!! and M83 music!!! i had the same experience when i watched it. Last year I had the chance of seeing them live, was amazing.
Giving me so much OG video vibes of the background, but with amazing/better chatting content that I love now. I watched Into the Wild the other day and it inspired me so much to spend more time in nature again! ✨️🏜
IF you're still taking questions. How is Jeremy Loops doing? I got into his music when you were helping out with Critical as Water and really dig his music! If you have his ear can you ask him to get to the states soon? Thanks man, I subscribed after your fist vlogs and have enjoyed the mental health journey.
Great video, except you should ditch the "try not to get lost or killed" outro. You have changed a lot since coming up with it. Change it to something more positive or mind challenging.
Yeah, I’m learning how to make and manage money properly, I made good money in the ‘glory days’ of this channel, but I went into massive debt 6 years ago and I’ve been trying to make money in new ways like coaching, when it’s good it’s great, and I still haven’t saved any.
As a 32 year old, you are such a positive influence on my wellbeing Ben. Youve re-inspired me to take a step back, and enjoy life again, not just live it. Big love to you, and all who read this! Lets spread the love, and help him get a van haha. Good vibes
32 club lets gooooooo! lol best of luck on your journey in this life!
I first found you through Louis in early 2015.....9 years later we are still here. Im glad that you are fine and you are again so motivated.
same oh my god!
“Work smart”. Love the evolution here. ❤
I feel like you are so tapped in to the greater connectivity and intuition - everything you talk about and are doing is a mirror to what I have been going through. You are so special - and thank you x
Wow, thank you you so much :) x
"be inspired by me but be inspired to go and search for your own resource of inner inspiration" thats huge for me ben. - Thank you
Inspiration is felt, all feelings are on the inside, you can ‘receive’ inspiration from the ‘outside’ of you, but what’s happening is part of you deep down is responding to the vibration of ‘you can do it!’
I’m so amped for this! Ben, you are an incredible person and I’ve watched you since the beginning.

Thank you so much 😌🩵
So glad this wasn't an April Fools, it's nice to see more of you Ben, much love.

Benji is sooooooo good to see you inspired and in that mode again. It’s refreshing to see a vlog from you. I’ve missed it. Hope all is well mate ❤️🩹
You inspired to take my motorbike licence and that was one of the best things I did. Grateful for that and exploring Europe on a motorcycle.

Long time viewer from back to the Kayak days! This setup reminds me of the UK bedroom vlogs.. coming full circle good sir, this looks good on you!
Thank you Ryan! :)

Glad you're back, mate!
Great to see you back Ben.....love "The Saint" walking man ( - the Halo 😂)
I need a “work smart, be kind to people, and try not to get lost or killed. “ sticker!
I like to wear my visual vibes hoodie every time I need an inspirational boost🎉
what inspires me? to see the world, simply put
What an inspiring answer to such an awesome question ❤
Life just is incredible! Yup you nailed it B
Work smart, be kind to people, keep your heart open
i didnt know you liked the art of flight!!! and M83 music!!! i had the same experience when i watched it. Last year I had the chance of seeing them live, was amazing.
Love the intro!

Day 2 let’s go Ben!
Good to see you back Ben
IF you're still taking questions. How is Jeremy Loops doing? I got into his music when you were helping out with Critical as Water and really dig his music! If you have his ear can you ask him to get to the states soon? Thanks man, I subscribed after your fist vlogs and have enjoyed the mental health journey.
I cry at that M83 album too. ❤
You and Nicole helped me 9 years ago to escape thanks will always follow
Incredible video!! Thanks for everything :-))

Let's goooooo Bennn :))
This is like meditation.
Love u Ben❤
Are you a Doctor Who Fan?
cool intro !
❤
Great video, except you should ditch the "try not to get lost or killed" outro. You have changed a lot since coming up with it. Change it to something more positive or mind challenging.
Only through Jesus Christ can we have iternal life!
what? you don't have any money?
Yeah, I’m learning how to make and manage money properly, I made good money in the ‘glory days’ of this channel, but I went into massive debt 6 years ago and I’ve been trying to make money in new ways like coaching, when it’s good it’s great, and I still haven’t saved any.
@@benbrown oh ok
,,Thank you for not giving up“ 🥹 was getting straight into my heart ♥️
