    Thank you all so much for your such lovely comments! Bit overwhelmed by all the love (in the best way 🥰) This has given me a lot of confidence in doing the right thing! Thank you all!

    You may have left the idea of a traditional acting career behind but you have brought your understanding of crafting a story and three act structure to the videos you edit. That's a special gift and hopefully you can tell that by how many of us enjoy watching them! I'm happy that you've found your place.

    I mean no disrespect by this because I love both of your channels, but I personally don’t love it when channels get too “over produced”. I do understand the bigger channels get, the more help you’ll need, but please don’t lose the vibe you guys had from the start ❤

    Turn your back on consistent style. Just do whatever you feel like that week. Might be the same story time vlog for three weeks and then boom - Daniel at an exercise rave. Next Daniel and Phily play a board game (watch their respective competitive styles clash!). Then Daniel does some gardening. Just be you

    I can absolutely relate. For years I dreamed of a career in media production, and I got some really great opportunities whilst working towards that, but in the end I fell out of love with it, and now I'm a specialist nurse!
    Some people do the same job for 40 years, others have 3 or 4 careers. You gotta love what you do and do what you love. Life is too short.

      Thank you for sharing this! And your so right about some people having more than one career, I’ve always known I wouldn’t stick to one thing 😂

    Thanks for your honest story, it’s nice to hear about your journey. Perhaps you could include some behind the scenes of Phily’s channel as well.

      I can do this 🫡

    Congratulations on this difficult decision. The sky’s the limit for what you and Philly are producing. Keep up the great work and laughs. The videos you produce are CAN’T MISS 😊

    Hey mate, I went to Welsh col, worked in the west end, did stuff with the old vic and a few ads etc, but career never went quite in the right direction. 8 years ago I set up my own business, that picked up and I left acting, moved to Manc and …honestly best decision I ever made, it was so hard at the time but eight years later, best decision I ever made. I’ve got freedom, a family, a life! My self worth is no longer attached to what job I’m doing! It’s liberating! I’m in charge of my career, not my agent! Remember you can use those skills on other arenas, where they’re actually valued!! 💪

    There's a real art to knowing when to let something go.
    We're told that success is doing something forever and that stopping is failure. Surely a better measure of success is to do a thing while it brings you joy or meets a need, when it stops doing that, stop doing it.
    We use the language of failure to describe things that come to a natureal end (failed business, failed marriage, etc.) and that stops us celebrating the good things we got from it.

    We have an aspiring musical theater actor in our family, and it’s good to know what the realities of that profession are… seems like far more than talent is needed!

    Nice diary entry. Your acting experience helps explain how natural you appear in front of the camera. Keep up the great content-making. You're quite talented.

    Hey I've worked as a freelance musician and your story is so relatable. There's no shame in shifting the focus of your career, people do it all the time and what you're producing with Philly is so fun and IMO is really enriching the running community.

    It’s always hard to put aside passions, but the blessing is that you still get to use aspects of the skills you’ve developed. Thanks for sharing your journey!

    I so hear you! I spent 7 years in London trying to break into musical theatre, but a couple of years ago I decided to move back to my hometown and now I have a normal job for paying the bills and get to do am dram and just have the most fun with acting instead of it being my livelihood! I’d never say never to going back to it professionally… but maybe when I’m not in the huge “brunette women in their 20s” casting bracket 😂😂😂

    Your presence with philly in her videos is always a plus. It is difficult not to compare her channel with Allie Ostrander's as the overlap is pretty large. Her relationship with her boyfriend definitely gives more depth. I am not saying it is anything deep (like exploiting your relationship for clicks) as much as a viewer you get multiple perspective on the same topic. Or it feels like it.

    I would think that the next big project you could be working on for Philly's channel would be to start adding in some collaborations with other channels. You make amazing content so its about finding ways to get your product in front of people without the benefit of a marketing budget.

  • @iberiksoderblom

    If you are an actor, or anything else, doesn't matter!
    It's how you feel when you do what you actually do, that matters.
    If what you actually do makes you happy and enrich your life, then thats what you need to do.
    And that can be a number of things.
    There is no "Only one thing is the correct thing for me".
    When I look around at my friends and colleagues, 50+% is today working with something different to what they startet out with and different to what they got educated/got degrees in originally.

    Good job Daniel. Your a natural at what you both do together, I love the content you produce and it flows magnificently.
    You've just reminded me Daniel I've put myself on the list for a phily love the grind bottle.

    I am glad things are getting back on track love what you to do .. re the Covid time , I feel your pain , my son is a catwalk model , he started at 19 the year before covid hit, and while things are getting back to normal .. it was tough has hell for 2 years . (The bank of JBS was often called on )

    I am just as interested (if not more) in watching your channel as Philly’s. Philly’s ‘intoxicating’ personality is fun, but it takes all kinds of flavors! I really enjoy your poised cool confidence 🤙🏼

    • @SunkenShip
      @SunkenShip หลายเดือนก่อน

      Same I love Philly’s channel but I love Daniel’s too because it’s more what an average runner looks like.

  • @landedfalcon1605
    @landedfalcon1605 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Daniel, your videos are always top notch. Don’t sell yourself short. I probably enjoy this channel more (just a tiny bit more relatable 😉). Sounds like a massive decision you have made, but well done for making it. Having been watching you both for a while I am sure it will all work out. Will be interesting to see how things progress going forward. Just make sure you both stay being yourselves and as honest and open as you have been. Love the grind 👍👍

    Hi,I hope you persevere with running as you've got the best year's ahead of you.
    I can see you hitting a sub 20 min 5K soon after which a 40 min 10K and a sub 3 hr marathon within 3 yrs all the best.

    Daniel, all you wanted from acting career may come true: if you wanted to become fanous worldwide, tell people something to make them feeling better/stronger/inspired (circle appropriate), it's here. You've already got that, just through a different channel, you get likes instead of applause, the stage is at home, the impact has longer term, than from one hour show, there are some differences, but the core is the same. Keep going in this new right direction, and everything will be even better :)

    Got to ask, One of your acting pictures, was that Olly Westlake in it with you? I was his Primary School teacher and his mum was my TA for a bit. I know he went to East 15 and would be a similar age to you. If not, he's a spitting image. That's beside the point . Love the videos by the way.

    acting is hard .., I had a buddy that I played rugby with at university.., that was actually on his way a bit. made the jump from modeling to acting even booking some national commercials.., but that jump from commercials to acting was huge.. I dont know if he is still acting.
    hard decisions .., be well kind sir.

    ACT???? OK, i thought you were a professional photograph and video producer and teacher. And now we learn you wanted to be an actor. Sad to learn you can't do your dream job.
