The Bucket List Family Just wondering your journal like an actual physical journal book and what do you write down in it ? ❤️💚💙
@@ellienorman9051 Good question, I'd also like to know how he keeps his journal, as that would be helpful to me.
Thank you Jessica for supporting and helping Garrett through the hard times, even with your pregnancy.
As a current college student, this was really inspirational. I have been considering transferring schools or even taking a semester off to work and explore who I am as a person. It’s comforting to know and be reassured of the fact that there isn’t just one right path to take through life. Lately it seems like I’m so caught up in my schoolwork and my grades that I forget who I am as a person. I forget to put myself first. Thanks for sharing such a personal story, Garrett. Watching the videos on this channel and seeing the happiness that radiates them comforts me when I feel lonely and lost at school. They remind me of what’s important in life. I hope to one day have the chance to step away from school and the stress and really enjoy some quality time with my family on a trip. To just escape and remind myself how grateful I am for the amazing people in my life who love and support me. I’m an English Literature and Public History double major with a minor in German, so I’m not entrepreneurial like Garrett; however, I do have dreams about writing books for children one day and hopefully studying abroad/traveling to widen my worldview. I volunteer in the community around my college at the local community center, so that I can make a difference in the world even while I’m studying. I hope that I can make a larger impact on the world one day and see more of it, just like the Bucket List Family. You’re a huge inspiration to me, Garrett and Jessica. I feel so encouraged to chase my dreams, and maybe even step outside the system that I feel so trapped in right now. I wish you the best of luck with the cartoon and I am really looking forward to watching! I love all your posts on Instagram and they really cheer up my day, so I know I’m gonna love the cartoon too. Thanks for allowing me to share my story in the comments along with yours. I’m trying to be brave like a panda. ✌️~ Claire
AMAZING!!!
Claire, I just want to let you know that you are not alone. I am in the same boat right now as a sophomore in college, trying to navigate my potential major, the stress of schoolwork, personal projects, and figuring out WHO I am. It is a sea of emotions, I navigate them everyday and sometimes you feel lost. I want to thank you for sharing your story, it has helped me feel I am not alone. I wish you the best in your journey, you are going to go so far!!💛
Maggie Nelson thanks for replying to me too! I didn’t know if this would resonate with anyone or even be read. I’m glad that we’re not alone. This is a hurtle that we’ll get past and come out stronger than ever. I’m a sophomore in college too and it feels even crazier than last year since we’re closer to graduation. You are definitely going to do amazing things in your life!! If you ever want to talk (either about college or the Bucket List Family), you could always DM me on Instagram @clairenk28. I’m always up for making new friends😊 I hope you have a productive and happy week!
A beautiful story! You deserved your success, it does not fall from the sky without doing anything ! ❤️
I have been watching them for a while and I never know knew that he was this intelligent to design a whole damn app and sell its for 54 million dollars I’m in a complete shock right now and let me tell you that I’m even more than happy for this family because they deserve the best and they’re the only ones that keeping me going and giving me home in life to be honest so well done garret you deserve all the best in the world.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m finding it super funny that the bucket list family stuff was your minimal entrepreneur-self in action just getting it in because you cant help it and it’s also a HUGE SUCCESS but on an even deeper level even though I’m sure less financial than your sale, I feel like it’s made you more rich in life experiences and love. You prove the notion of “you can do anything you set your mind to.” And I admire how intuitive every decision is for you guys. I know Jess wasn’t a huge part of this presentation necessarily but you two come off as a truly perfect balance for one another. I feel like we could feel her essence through the stories and emotions. Keep creating goodness. You guys are the best at it. 🥰😭🥰
Enjoyed watching this guys! Well deserved! You guys are awesome!
I love how yall have jus taken life and lived some dreams and shared it with the world.. thank u for letting us. ( the world) live victorious threw your eyes. I kno as a woman that is limited disability and financial I will never see the things yall have but I have gotten to threw you all and have loved it. The way you have shown it is very special. As a family and a lover of all things simple and not so high flutin ( as us country folk) call it . God Bless and b safe in all our journeys.
Garret I am awed by how well you follow your intuition, especially being so young. This is usually developed a bit further down the journey road. You have a lovely gift. Trust it.
You should do a video of the rest of what you were going to say. I think many of us would be interested to hear it told! Part 3!
Garrett, this has been one of my most favorite videos (and I’ve loved all your travel videos and seeing how amazingly you and Jess have been raising your beautiful brave children) but I really have enjoyed watching this talk. I would love to hear more story / inspirational talks like this. I think it would be wonderful if you thought about working on a podcast with that focus. Much love ❤️💚💙
After the craziness of all the phone calls, meetings and decisions you had to make is such a small amount of time you deserve to be able to follow your heart all you want!! Great story, thanks for sharing it with us!
So happy for you guys. I love how you turn one great thing into another great thing. I love following you guys to see what will happen next. So inspiring for me and my wife. I often ask myself what would I do with that amount of money. I would do the same thing, Focus on family and travel world together. ❤
Love watching and learning more about your business history. Love watching your family’s adventures! Thank you for inspiring many of us to take new adventures in life!
What an inspiration story, my favourite I’ve ever heard. Not only your amazing entrepreneurial spirit but for me it’s having the courage of your convictions to do what is right for you and your family. Amazing.
My only complaint is that you didn’t end it with “Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.” 😉😉
Thanks for posting earlier than planned! Part One was so good, I'm glad we didn't have too long for Part Two! 😁
So interesting to hear your story!! I’ve been following your channel for a couple years and had no idea about the whole app and Snapchat thing. Keep living your best life with your family 🥰
I am SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! You all are SOOOOOOOO BLESSED! ! It is so HEART WARMING to watch your family learning and seeing all thing's new!! You guy's are AWESOME TO WATCH! I absolutely love the water! And after watching your video's. ..... I honestly feel like I have actually been there. Even though I've never been. Well with the exception of the Caribbean cruise that my ex and his family went on. THAT WAS AMAZING!
So I just want to thank you and your family for everything that you bring to your subscribers! You guy's ROCK!!
This is so amazing. It was unknown to many of your followers that you were so successful, you guys are humble about it and its refreshing. Love the idea that being wealthy has nothing to do with how much money you have. Those questions in your article are questions I will continue to assess and ask myself through life. Thanks for sharing this incredible story!!
Garrett you are such an inspiration for me! I’m Italian, I study so hard to make my dreams come true and sometimes it’s not easy to continue...but, you know, when I watch one of your videos I feel like I can do everything I want ! So thank you for being as you are! Love u from italy❤️
Wow! What an incredible story! You guys are both setting such wonderful examples for each other, your children, your family, your friends, and your community. The fact that you had so much going on in your personal lives while all this was going on- incredible. I love that your response was, “I have to call my wife.” What a wonderful relationship you two have. I would love to see the journal photos. The one of you with baby Dorothy with your cardboard sign is absolutely priceless. Thank you so much for sharing your story and for continuing to. Looking forward to watching you, your family, and your ideas grow.
i love watching you guys! my mom and i have been watching for what feels like forever
thank you for posting both parts the same day because i was literally sad i couldn’t see everything today
Wow while I watched and listened to you I realized that this is a really personal story about you and your convictions and what is important to you and to your decisions in life for you and your family. It’s so very impressive how humble you remain through all of this. Sharing this very personal experience with people really makes me think about how one conversation, being open in your heart and available in your mind to take such a leap of faith like holding your breath and jumping in the deep end for the first time. Not sure what I’m trying to say but just thank you for sharing your story. I hope you and your family will always continue to enjoy the blessings you’ve obviously worked so hard to achieve. Good for you! ❤️
this was a rollercoaster. but so inspiring and true to who you are. i’m grateful you shared this part of your story with the world, it’s inspired me.
I watched 1and 2 and what I can on the bucket list family and not one vlog have I been unhappy with you guys. I fill close to you guys. You give me a reason to believe I can get well again after years. Thank you so much Jess for your strength, Gareth thank you for sharing your life as much as you both do, the kids are fantastic.
Thank you for sharing and not making us wait! You are such an amazing family!
I love that this wasn't a ted talk but instead a very open talk to young people back where it all started. You rock! you as a couple, as a family inspire so many in the world its wonderful. Jessica - you are a silent hero supporting Garret through an incredible change in both your lives!
What an amazing story...thank you so much for share it with us. You truly are a remarkable person.
What an incredible testament to your intuition and integrity. I love your family and seeing all of your adventures inspire me to reach for every goal with power and passion!
AMAZING STORY, Garret!! I enjoyed listening! It was a very inspiring and interesting story. You are a great speaker! My mom works in acquisitions for a large company and will be showing this video to her team. :)
I love how inspiring your speeches and videos always are!! You always say you are nervous but you tell stories and get messages across soo well!!! I wish i had that talent and confidence 😅😅 I Love thebucketlist family!!❤❤ and cant wait to see what journeys lie ahead for you guys 😊😊
Omg that was absolutely fascinating wish there was a part 3!!!
Just love the essence of you and how you see to invest your thoughts and love and time and space......shalom and blessings on all your endeavours.
Beyond inspired! Thank you for constantly showing us what it’s like to live your passion. Oprah has talked about listening to the voice inside your head, which is exactly what you did- and such a great reminder for us to do more of. I can’t wait to learn more about your endeavor! 💕❤️
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. My husband is going through the same thing right now. It is hard to see him doing what “the man” wants him to do, instead of what his heart wants to do. As we watched these we cried as we understood what needed to be done. As we looked for answers, he was let go from his job with a severance, he has had meetings with people that all of a sudden are interested in his project. Things are moving in the right direction and the smile has returned to his face. He is now keeping a journal of this process and has made a vision board.
So I am serious when I say thank you for sharing. I love to hear the tenderness in your voice as you speak. It shows your passion. We will be in Hawaii next week, want to meet for lunch? 😄😉
Thank you for sharing Garrett! You have a beautiful family, stay humble and kind! From Mobile, Alabama
Love u guys even more after hearing that story... you’d never know about the ‘bank account’ by the down to earth simple life u live... if only all people could be like u guys!
The anticipation was killing me, so happy you posted part 2!
Two episodes in ONE day!! What an amazing journey! I can't wait to see the scuba video.
I keep a journal, too.
Can’t believe I’m only just seeing this now. Love how it all played out and even more so you followed your gut on that one. Thanks for putting that all out there!
Thanks so much for sharing your whole story! I’ve been following your channel almost sense you’ve started and have been dying to find out the whole thing!! Very brave to open up like that! I applaud you!!!
Sincere thank you for sharing... I met yall in compass cay and have loved following your adventures. I'm 25 and since graduating college I've struggled so much with trying to make myself fit in the mold of what's expected of me only to still be anxious unhappy and frustrated. I'm still trying to learn to trust my gut and trust that if I follow it things will work out for the better and you are evidence of that. Bravo for being brave and sharing! Don't be bothered by criticism from people you wouldn't go to for advice, haters gonna hate
Love you guys so much!! ❤️ I am part of a traveling family as well and we love watching your videos!! Love from Wisconsin!!
So amazing! Thank you very much for sharing such a private and vulnerable time in your life. Keep on entrepreneuing (yeah, I'm making that word up) - you guys are awesome and so inspiring!
This was truly inspirational. I am probably your oldest fan, as an 80 year old grandmother. I have been binge watching the BLF for a couple of weeks and to see how it all evolved is most intriguing.
You work hard as does Jess and whatever you get you deserve. If I have learned anything from you I have learned to say yes. That's not as easy for someone who was your age and very active in the 1960's. I had many adventures back then, but didn't keep a journal unfortunately. You have wonderful work ethics and work habits. You Go, Kid
They are so inspirational and they deserve everything good comming their way ! I love you bucket list family xxx
I'm glad you followed your heart, because that what lead you here, The Bucket List Family.
Thank you for sharing your story! You and your family are incredible. I admire you all! You guys are so inspiring ☺️
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Love watching ❤️❤️
I've watched all your videos and paid close enough attention that I knew most of this story but always hungered for more info. I'm glad you laid it all out there. I think following your gut has always been the right thing to do for you and your family, even when it can be the hardest and not the normal decision. I'll be in Hawaii in May and hope to bump into y'all somehow.
This is really inspiring. No other words. Just really really inspiring. Thank you for showing us that amazing things-you-can-only-dream-of actually happen. Sending much love.
This is such an amazing, inspiring story! Thank you for courageously sharing it
This was really awesome! I wish we had another hour! Wish that professor didn’t stop you. Thanks for sharing your story! Much congratulations on you guys’ success. So grateful for your work and your family!
I put a comment on a video that I searched for you, Garrett. Your soccer life and college... And I told you when I knew that you received that money... I was so crazy! And I told you that, you are a smart person! I give so much value, persons who wan larges quantities of money, being honest and just. You deserve it! It was your destiny! 😊💪
Super interesting to hear the whole backstory, what an inspiration to follow your heart. So hard to have that much faith in ones inner self and confidence to walk into the dark rather than take the safe road (multiple times, even turning down the possible offer from apple earlier). Definitely an abundance mindset instead of a scarcity/fear mindset which is especially impressive coming from what you said was your frugal upbringing. Thanks for sharing!
This video inspired me to study product design, which is something I was doubting before. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! You are an inspiration to all of us
Just thank you for those inspirational videos, as a future entrepreneur you can't imagine how much it helps a lot to hear stories like yours.
So grateful for your lives guys, and excited to meet you one day !
Love ya !
Such a crazy story, but also cool. All that craziness allowed you to spend time as a family going on an amazing global adventure. That is something that is priceless. ☺️
Absolutely amazing. My husband and I talk all the time that sometimes college and the best grades, the system as Garett mentions, is not the right way to do things. And I’m so glad he followed his heart and started the bucket list family...tour TH-cam channel and Instagram has been so incredibly inspirational. As a mother, following you and seeing the wonderful life values your teaching your kids just makes me in so much awe. Your whole family are amazing role models and you most definitely deserve all the blessings that have found you! Congrats on such a successful journey and I’m so excited to see what the further holds for your family! ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this!! ❤️💚💙
You’re and incredible man Garret. Really respect how you follow what is right not what will bring you all the wrath. Better to be healthy and happy then rich. Because now you are rich with love and memories and you get to be involved with your family.
This story is amazing and so inspiring thank you for sharing!! ♥️
What a fantastic journey you have been on to date Garrett! Good luck and many laughs for you and your family's continued adventures!
Amazing! Just simply amazing. Glad you followed your heart!
Wow Garrett!!👍🤜🙌 Thanks for sharing. This will help a lot of people! Minds have to be opened. You're a world influencer and changing the world. 🙌🙌
Thank you for sharing your story with all of us! 💕🙏🏼😘 There have been multiple times where I have reached a crossroads in my life and I firmly believe that like you, by following my heart, I was able to make the right decision. 💗
So great to listen to real, and honest and transparent TH-camrs about personal stories, that you really dont have to share with anyone! SO funny though I was watching all 4 tonga videos again when this video popped up on my screen and I thought, well heres the next hour of sleep gone :) So thank you :) :)
Thank you so much for sharing this, what a story to live through.
I love your story! Thank you for sharing with everyone! What an adventure for your family!
So inspiring!! I love the way Garrett tells the story!! And my favorite thing about all of this is that I know all of that money didn't change you hearts
Good luck! ☘
I mean, so excited for comments, and that you didn’t make us wait an entire week for part2
Wow this was so inspiring to hear! What a crazy road has it been for you. Love that you always listened to your heart and not the outside voices! 😘 You did great and worked hard for everything. I also love your family. Thanks for sharing your story 😊❤
I think this is my favorite video(s) you have ever posted! And that says A LOT! I would love to hear more about how you guys have handled a life changing amount of money, the ways you have been intentional to not let money rule you, how you’ve stayed grounded, etc!
Thank you so much for sharing this story. The part on feeling shackled down by a 10million offer to give up what you really enjoy doing.... A lot of times in order to fufill responsibility, social norms and living by the structured environment... That is like the 10million dollar shackle that I am struggling with everyday. Thank you for reminding me constant evaluation is really what i need to do to identify what I really want in life and most importantly having the courage to make that first step happen and owning whatever comes after😊
thank you for sharing this with us! and for posting both parts today :)
Love your family. You’re so humbled & selfless. You had to go with your gut when you left Snapchat. It was the right path for you(and,not to sound selfish, but for us as well lol). There probably wouldn’t have been a BucketlistFamily if you didn’t 😉 Love your family & all that you do, and enjoy your adventures via TH-cam. You have a beautiful family. I can only dream of doing what you all do👍
Hearing this as a business student is so encouraging!!
2MINS AFTER WATCHING THE PART ONE THE PART2 IS UP
Thanks for noticing my comment
Very inspirational! I love this channel. Thank you for sharing this story.
Wow, thank you soo much for sharing this!!! So inspiring!
wow just finished part 1 very interesting story!!! I love following you and your adventure family...and didn't even know about any of this! Didn't know you were and entrepreneur boss...so insane...inspiring and awesome to see you follow your heart and do what makes you happy!! Life is short and precious...important to live it to the fullest!
So amazing and inspiring, thanks so much for sharing Garrett
Garett, you inspire me so much. I also have my own app, Predictr, on the app store. It’s like my baby and I can relate a lot. Thanks for sharing this amazing story and giving courage to young folks like me to pursue my dreams. I now moved to Silicon Valley to do so.
It’s an amazing story, I’m so happy for you guys how everything turned out :) So inspiring! Would love to meet you someday
Dude, I stumbled upon your account and you are living what every level headed family man dreams of. These types of stories are way to few. Nobody ever leaves out from underneath the dragons wing once they find their spot. Except you. I have all the respect in the world for you. I don't know what that means to you coming from just an average guy like me but thanks for your testimony. Your resilience is inspiring.
Best story ever , you are such a motivational persone.. Wish u all the good luck for the rest of you're lifes dear familly ❤
I remembered you on Sharktank and the only one came in with a pair of flip flops on .
I got inspired by your entrepreneurial spirit and started my electronic company. It’s been one year now! Thanks Garrett
That's a crazy story but also a huge inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
woah!!! that's very inspirational! I went the traditional route - left my home country at 11. came to the US for an education. Graduated, married the love of my life, and recently got my immigration paperwork (after 16 years)! Wish you guys the best of luck!!! Will always continue to support you, and hope to be able to see some of the places that you guys have seen!
Thank you for sharing your amazing story. Your next adventure awaits💖
You’re absolutely amazing and massively inspirational! Your Parents, your family must be so proud of you. You’ve accomplished so much at such a young age while the greater majority aren’t so successful after a lifetime of diligence and effort. Bravo 👏🏻 Garrett❗️👍🏻 @TheBucketListFamily I love your sweet family and beautiful home in Hawaii. How wonderful to swim with sea turtles 🐢 just a few steps from your yard. 💜
Such beautiful videos! I can sit all day and watch them. Especially the under water videos. There breathtaking!
SO INSPIRATIONAL!🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this. I can tell it was not an easy story to tell.
Fascinating story. Many congratulations on all the good work you and your team are doing.
It seems people are either risk takers or they’re not. Some are wired differently than those of us that jump at opportunities. It can be frustrating raising a child who is not when you are. That’s when trust and faith come into play. Let them experience their own journey-
All I can say It couldn't have happened to a more beautiful human beings . You have been blessed and pray for you and your family continue to prosper and grow . Love you guys and have loved watching your journey.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
so glad to hear the story. the waiting was killing me, thought i had to wait another week for part 2 😋
i tell my coworkers about you guys all the time. your vids usually post right when i go on break so i look foward to my work breaks on sundays 😁
Thanks for sharing your story. Truly inspiring.
