Nathaniel Drew's content is self-improvement with actual honesty, intimacy, grounded-ness, life, and humanness. This is why I think this channel shines the most among the rest. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth lumping his "content" as "self-improvement" but, yeah, his messages and stories are just something very special in the age of content that pushes people like they're supposed to be machines and make them feel guilty for some flaw they have in their productivity and subjective shortcomings. Nathaniel Drew just reminds me again that I'm human, and that the things I'm looking for often aren't what they seem to be, and that the real things may be just right in front of me the whole time. Nathaniel Drew is a meditation. Nathaniel Drew is a friend. Not a channel, but a friend who really impacts how I see my life, and how I love the people around me. I'm really glad that he and Thomas (& Yes Theory) are his friends now since I always watched both Yes Theory and Nathaniel and I kind of lumped both of these channels in the same bubble of "channels that actually see the experience of life with whole heart". And yeah, thank you guys so much.

So..true..Its feels wholesome to just see him figure things out in life .

*Something that helped me recently was musings on* "If I had one year left to live." I wrote this journal entry about what I'd like the rest of my life to look like, if the expiration date was one year from today. The results shocked me. I realized out of everything I'd want to do, none of them were increased thrills or risky choices because "if it's all going to end soon anyways, what's the point?" No; they were all things I want to do TODAY but am afraid of engaging on. I'd start a podcast. I'd have conversations with people about mental health. I'd open dialogue with people I've hurt and want forgiveness from. I'd simply be a better human being. Now the challenge is "waking up" and realizing that I don't need to think I'm going to die to live the life I want to live. I simply need to take the steps that future me (and younger me) is begging for. We don't make choices out of fear -- that's fine, it's a human tendency to fear. But it's what you fear, and what it causes you to do or not do, that makes all the difference. There is no life to regret if you choose the right thing every moment.

"Detachment means to have neither regrets for the past nor fears for the future; to let life take its course without attempting to interfere with its movement and chance, neither trying to prolong the stay of things pleasant nor to hasten the departure of things unpleasant.

@@swolemaz_ Perhaps it could be better worded, but detachment doesn't mean being emotionally void or detached from reality/society/yourself, it's simply being accepting and present. If you emotionally invest yourself so deeply into your pursuits, and things don't go to plan, you will feel wretched. Or as another example, if you become so immersed in reading the news, you may perceive that to be reality, and every new story might bring with it anxiety and despair. Detachment, to me at least, is something more along the lines of stoicism.

What’s ur biggest takeaway brother?

Thank you for this INCREDIBLE conversation! This was super inspiring and insightful. Here are some notes that I took while watching: - Check in with yourself often to make sure your decisions are really your own. - Differentiate the things you can't control from the things you can control. - Listen to your intuition. - Your strategy has to change over time. ("What got you here won't get you there.") - Don't be afraid of doing things that don't scale. Instead, recognize when it's time to change. - If things are not working out, try to get some distance. (Be aware of tunnel vision. Try to look at the bigger picture. Try something new.) - Moderation / "The Middle Way" - Processing and reflecting on experiences is important. - Spending quality time with people or menial things like doing the dishes can be productive as well. Make sure to not fall into the productivity trap! - People have no fucking idea what they are doing. No one has "figured it out", so don't feel bad about the fact that you haven't figured it out either. - Explore your boundaries. Expand your horizon by trying new things and experimenting. Retune your intuition. - Even if you figure out that your old way of doing things was actually right for you, it was still worth it because you were able to solidify that. - "My ass cheeks dude!" 🤣

regretting my life is one of my biggest fears so i want to live present in each moment

As they mentioned, The feeling that "I'm not working now" on day offs, freaks me out.. Not enjoying and not working and being in that state of regret.. I have to learn to get out of this.. Thanks for the video..

Eye contact is key to great connection , Solid life talk lads sitting under a tree just being humans :)

Yoo Nathaniel, I'm 17 now, these types of conversations are so valuable to me and I think to a lot of people around my age. It's really refreshing to hear that it's okay to not have everything figured out, it really takes off a lot of pressure in making decisions. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏

Re: taking 5 weeks off social media: Without a break like that it’s hard to shift priorities and shift gears into a new direction. YES! Also “What got you here won’t get you there.” And So much of life is figuring out tools and tips to give yourself perspective when you lose it.

"I just want to make sure that this decision was my own" - I had to write that down because it feels like it's what I need to do every single day. Amazing video as always 👏

Two very intelligent conversations. Why can't my friends and I talk like this??

As a new creator on KZread, hearing you two’s hard-earned wisdom is immensely guiding. Thank you guys so much for letting us listen in on this much-needed conversation.

I wasn’t expecting this but I’m incredibly glad this video exists

with this kind of conversations, life just make sense for a moment

“Life is a series of experiments”. Cool mindset. Thanks for this chatting Thomas!

Yo this is a perfect add to your channel dude. Didn't think I needed to sit in on a 30 minute convo under a tree but boy was I wrong. You two are the best youtubers hands down. So much respect.

I think I'm gonna watch this again and again because I know I can relate to this for a long time, I think anyone can feel it in their life, at anytime in their life.

Man! You have read my mind. I was recently binge watching Yes Theory and to see two of my favourite creators on the platform hit it off is amazing

i really thomas hit the nail in the beginning about having to shift away from reacting to everything and instead reflecting. i've felt pretty angry and strongly about a lot of things these last two years and i know it wasn't myself, but having someone speak about it really helped pinpoint what it was i was experiencing! so thank you for this lovely conversation!

"I just want to make sure that this decision was my own"

I listened to this over a course of 3 days just to digest everything bit by bit. Thanks boys! It was really inspiring!

5:35 Really resonated with that. Been realizing that getting too wrapped up in social media and being a creator, one needs time to detach and go outside of the self.

Creativity as a lifestyle was a point that really struck a cord with me. Forcing yourself to break away from the computer screen and just enjoy the moment doing chores or literally anything else beyond creating something is definitely essential in keeping sane.

8:20 Time of reflection vs Living in survival mode. This is something I’ve thought about a lot lately, have had multiple meaningful conversations about and have wanted to combine those thoughts into a video myself. Last 3 years my videography business has grown and I’ve been constantly overworking + trying to chase my personal dreams (travel vids, art, new brand) and trying to cope with a lot of changes etc, feeling highly stressed for months and constantly in the survival mode. To the point I burned out multiple times - first my health started to take a toll, physical pains, depression and overall it took me a lot of time to bounce back from intense projects. To the point i was doing and achieving more than ever, but unhappy and least confident I had ever felt. And the conclusion I’ve come to - the most important thing is to have time between experience. Have time to reflect. And not to stay in survival mode months and months at a time. Thank you for touching on this and helping me remind the importance of time for reflection.

I used to beat myself up so much about doing things in my business that I knew would work and help but that wouldn't scale.

What’s ur biggest takeaway?

I'm in love with your background! It's winter here and I miss summer days like this one you've got! Hearing these beautiful tweeting!

What got you here won't get you there: this is so true. I happen to be confused when old strategies don't work anymore, especially this one: I always used to deescelate situations because I just really liked harmony and I didn't want anyone to get hurt. So I preferred just to accept things and people and deal with it on my own by returning to myself and find peace within. I loved that. But as I grew older liking harmony turned out to really get me into weird situations over and over again. For example, I wasn't able to reject people who fell for me and I ended up having flings with them or even almost getting into a relationship I didn't even want. Or, speaking boundaries I always perceived as harsh, now I know it's desperately needed if you're an empath, otherwise you'll really loose yourself and suffer a lot. And yes, sometimes you need to set those boundaries really, really "harshly", because some people won't respect them if you do it the soft way.

I'm struggling with this too

I feel like you would really enjoy looking into MBTI. It’s about 16 personalities and how they view the world in completely different ways. The basics are: Introvert vs. Extrovert, iNtuition vs. Sensing, Feeling vs. Thinking and Judging vs. Perceiving. But if you’re actually going to do this then I suggest reading about the 8 cognitive functions and all of that. Also the 4 different sides of the mind and temperaments and interaction styles. It’s a lot but it’s worth it, you’ll grow so much as a person if you’ll know you’re MBTI, and don’t trust the test, do your own research, have a great journey. Btw, i think you’re an INFJ (Ni, Fe, Ti, Se), but correct me if I’m wrong.

Thank you for continuing to share what authentically matters in life, truly appreciate

Since covid I‘ve been more to myself and got a bit introverted (and that‘s werid, because I normally am a very extroverted person) but this video changed that, just listening to you two really put the life back in me! Thanks so much!
