Love watching you and your family! Great interveiw😊 safari also my FAVE 🐘

What stands out to me and what I love is that they champion each other, they use their stories to acknowledge each other

i could listen to this podcast episode over and over. thank you so much for featuring garrett and jess, ive been following their family for years and it’s so great to watch them talk so openly and comfortably about their story as visionaries, entrepreneurs and family influencer who makes positive impact to the world. truly inspiring.

I’m a follower of this family. I’m not on any other social media. They truly come across as authentic and genuine, not showy or preplanned. They are super smart and adventurous. I wish all of us watching could live lifestyles like this.

This podcast has introduced me to many huge creators (1M+) that I didn't even know existed

Yeah, there were times I was uncomfortable because she seemed left on the sidelines and it was all about him him him and his company. But clearly they are working as team members and doing a great job of it. I do wish she didn’t have to force yourself into the conversation and was more invited, and that when she said something, her husband didn’t just keep going on as if she hadn’t spoken. I guess nothing in life is perfect and maybe it just says more about me than it does about them.

Had the opportunity to interview Garrett back in 2012 when I was still a student. Incredible energy and vision, down to earth - still the same guy. Great podcast!

Thank you for having The Bucket List family on your show. I follow them and have enjoyed them for years. I appreciate your thoughtfulness for them and I learned a lot about them

❤💚💙 I really love this interview. Amazing. I really get emotional with the updated. Thanks for the Words for your love for your community. I am so happy to be a part of it. ❤ love u

Loved this podcast episode with Garrett and Jessica! Thank you for sharing their story and the next chapter with The Bucketlist Family! It is so amazing to see how much they continue to do!

Snap! I watched it back 4 times 😂

Let’s Gooooo. I been ready since day 1. I saw the twinkle in your eyes, explaining all the reasons why not to invest. I remembered that they very clearly, the count down to invest in this amazing dream. We had taken an RV vacation to Oregon with my family and I was so afraid I was going to miss it because it is so hard to get reception in the wilderness. So I woke up super early that morning and made my husband drive us round to the nearest gas station to make sure we got reception. I was telling him “you don’t understand you got to find me internet reception” Lol “you have no idea this family is great and I believe in them and we’re investing” I can’t wait to share the good news today.

Garrett saying that he just posted his family videos and actually the viewers have put their kids in the public eye is crazy. Also the kids having their own Instagram pages so he can "save photo a day"... Those could be private, but they are not. He is the one putting them out there. They are positioning that fact that the kids don't understand how many people watch them as a good thing. No, these kids don't understand right now but they will one day. Their whole life early life is out there on the internet.

I usually never watch podcasts but I just sat through this one and it felt like 5 minutes!!! BY FAR the best interview I've ever heard. Well done!

Colin & Samir, you guys are so good at allowing others to tell their story. Thank you for the episode and your insightful questions that lead to deep discoveries with each guest!

Just finished this almost 2.5 hr movie. The host/moderator did an excellent job with the types of questions asked and really went below the surface with their thoughtful questions. You can tell they did their research prior and lead insightful discussion. Jess and Garrett provided thorough answers to sometimes personal questions. Looking forward to hearing more details of this Nat Geo and BLS deal.🙌

FINALLY!! This channel has been a bigger inspiration and fantastic experience I've enjoyed on KZread! I don't have Instagram so this is the only way I know them. Loved this interview and that so many more people are exposed to them! Thank you Colin and Samir!

I’ve been following BucketList family for years! Love hearing their story. They are some humble, honest and heartwarming. ❤

This was a reall great interview! Been following the Bucket List Family for many years, but I gotta say the two interviewers were amazing as well, great questions, great balance, great vibes. Enjoyed this a lot! Thank you

So glad I found this today!!! I love the Bucket List family! And I learned so much about them! Thank you!!!

Excellent interview. I've enjoyed following you both for around 4 years now.

Came here from the link on the Bucket List Family, happy to have been introduced and now a new subscriber!

I love and appreciate that they capture their adventures so authentically and not highly produced. It’s not perfect, but so uniquely relatable

@@KatieLogen I mean kind of but not really. He even says they won out mostly through SEO. Lots of apps did it, but they were best at grabbing the customers. The tech itself wasn't really the groundbreaking part, it was the user acquisition. Marketing is a huge chunk of any business' success.

The content they make is aspirational but it is motivating, watching the videos, in addition to being humanly super pure, they are like a father telling you that you are good. motivating you, loving you. It feels like home in the most tender and simple way it can be. Beyond all the opulence of their trips there, the children are simply playing ball or learning about whales, I don't know, it's really enjoying the simple things in life like family.

Amazing human beings raising amazing human beings. I hope this family continues to be blessed. We need so much more of them in this world

I have been following this family since 2016! 💗 Thank you for having them onto share some of their story with all of us. 💞

I really appreciate the transparency this interview had! It's so much easier to understand their decisions. Love it!

This family is so wonderful!! It gives me all the good feelings just watching them talk 💙💗✨ from a long time follower/investor in the Bucket list Family.

I loved that this interview distinguished how the Bucket List Family is aspirational re: family time. That is their secret sauce - quality content that inspires you to connect with your loved ones and turn any little thing into an adventure.

Such a helpful episode from the entrepreneur perspective. I’ve been a fan of the bucket list fam forever but this has been extremely helpful from a fellow entrepreneur perspective.

Thank you for bringing back the family unity. I am 73 and you have brought back the memories of my childhood and I am praying for what you are doing will touch many and bring back the family closeness and openness to see each others talents and to being supportive of one another. How I came to watch your family be your sweet Dorothy became friends with Claire Cosby. I started watching Claire when she was between two and three years old on KZread. I can continue to follow her and her family as I do your family. God bless you all.

Great conversation to listen to and one of your best vids yet!

This episode achieved something I didn't think was possible. It made me love The Bucket List Family even more than I did before. ❤

You guys make such awesome content, and this was certainly one of my favourite videos. My issue is half the time I have no idea who people are, so I find myself clicking on different videos in my feed, this one was no different, other than I just figured I’d give it a shot because it you two and I’m very happy I did.

Never heard of this family before but I'm checking them out now. Love this guys. I also found Cleo Abram because of you. keep on interviewing everyone!

One of my favorite interviews so far!

Love your podcast guys, not only for its content and you as great creators but I discovered so many talented people. Keep it up!

Great pod until around 55:00. Did they really try to claim that they didnt put their kids in the public eye but rather their audience did? Makes it sound like the audience is holding them at gunpoint to publish their children, and completes ignored the fact that they are no-longer “documenting their kids life for the sake of journaling” but rather are documenting their kids life for profit

You can journal by taking photos and keeping them on your camera roll, like the rest of the world does. This is no hate to family bloggers. But in general that argument is bogus and you know it, just own up to it

@PhilipBlank

Totally fair! But from a parental perspective, he’s potentially setting them up for life with an amazing head start, same concept as a college fund, but the cost is publicity which may or may not be worth it, time will tell. But at least they can shut it off whenever they or the children want! Building a platform and following is hard work so I think it’s incredibly entrepreneurial to make this ability while they have the shot. I’d have been grateful if my parents had given me that opportunity as a child, as long as they are not forced or pressured which is clearly not the case for them all! Most people have to do a lot worse to make a living.

@@PhilipBlank what your saying totally makes sense. And that’s why I mostly don’t blame parents who make that decision. It’s definitely an understandable move to make The least they could do is be upfront about it. Like if you want to set up your kids for life that’s completely fine, just don’t act like what you’re doing is only to “journal their lives” and you’re just conveniently making money of it. That’s the icky part for me. (this part doesn’t apply to these guys in particular) It’s hard for me personally to overlook the fact that these family vlog kids are now basically this generations child stars, minus all of the protections the law offers to child actors. So just found it a lil strange how these concerns were addressed in such a small segment of the interview and with such an unconvincing response

The problem with family vloggers and same with any child entertainment role is that the children don't have the benefit of knowing what they are exchanging from their youth for this fame. Once you are a public figure, you can never undo it. The Internet lives on forever. Kids don't have the benefit of hindsight. They haven't acquired life experiences to judge against. That said, if children have to be paraded in front of the public, the very least they can do is definitely be allowed to say no and have their parents respect that wish and boundary. This family seems grounded and respectful of their children but we don't really know these people beyond how they portray themselves. Also, I think it's different if a child expresses an interest in being in the public eye. As a parent, I would still monitor their activities and their well-being but I think it's different if being a vlogger is child-initiated. They still don't have the life experiences to fully understand this request but at least they chose it for themselves. Anyway, just my opinion. ​@@PhilipBlank

That was so good to hear their full story. These two are one of the main reason why why wife and I started travel vlogging.

Learned of Bucket List from this. I would be very interested in their kids books. I travel a lot with my 3 young kids, like recently driving across the country to show them the total eclipse. Experiences are priceless and I believe are key to raising well rounded children.

great podcast..wonderful info.......love the family and their adventures exposing the kids to so many different things wildlife, culture, nature ..so much.........living a good life and making amazing memories with the kids!!!!

All of them are the kind of people that really understand and value what they do for a living. And they are so tuned in with everything they have and want to achieve that it makes me feel like im watching video that's 20 years ahead of the game. Such a good perspectives, such a great minds and thoughts🤩 I am amazed 👏👏👏

David really enjoyed this,And you are definitely right people also put the meaning of these in their own. I like that you took the time to do research and find out more. Love when you do these Videos. Appreciate it. 💯✌️

I have a family travel channel as well. This interview was both very motivating and also a tiny bit frustrating. But definitely interesting! Thank you 🙌

I love the interview, now I’ve learned the deeper side of them ❤❤❤

I love hearing about youtubers with interesting backgrounds that I have no clue about. This was very interesting similar to that of the fake tom cruise guy. Great job, continue getting youtubers from really different genres.

This was super interesting, what an incredible journey they've been on, so much to learn from them

🔥2 Main Takeaway: 1) People on Reddit question why Snap acquired them. The truth is that a product with traction is key. That is a skill in itself that can add to growth. 2) Many a large sum of money but don't splurge on the unnecessary. This way you have financial freedom. for life.

Love Jessica and Garrett ❤ I find them to be so motivating, and good people too!

My fav creators in one room together❤❤❤Love this❤❤❤

We came from KZread only , not from instagram . My husband got so inspired by you guys that he wanted to travel and live life! & yes ,go to gym / exercise , play basketball, run:) 3 & 6 years old kids , much love to your family from New York❤

Came here from the bucket list family video link! Great conversation! Will definitely checkout more of your videos.

whattttttt? I never thought this day would come! So that´s the big thing Garett announced in his story yesterday. I can´t believe it! Whatttt? Two of my favorite KZread channels connected! btw Garett and Jess your story is so amazing! Love your book!

Collin and Samir’s face at 1:14:17 has me CRACKING UP. They are so real for that reaction

I have followed the TheBucketList family from the beginning and love them. I get to see places with them that I know I would never have seen if I hadn’t followed them ❤

This episode was truly fantastic a great introduction to the bucket list amazing story i”m now a fan.

I love these guys. I can't believe you got them on!

It's so sweet how Garrett tries to bring Jessica relevant!!! Colin and Samir are more interested in the business process

I have not followed them but I follow The Traveling Child. And as a mom of one, I have so much respect for parents who can haul their kids around the planet and call it fun. My kid has traveled a fair bit with her parents, but as much fun as it has been, it really changes the kind of fun I would have as a parent. So hats off to this family

Love the bucket list family! So happy to see them on the podcast.

The Bucket List Family. has my heart!

I found their channel via KZread. It was years ago back when they had been traveling for about 6-8 months and Manilla was just a baby/toddler. I miss those old videos; need to go back and rewatch sometime.

I loved listening to this. I have been following the Bucket Lost family on Instagram, TikTok and KZread for years. I find them so humble and genuine. They remind me of my family - I can relate to them in so many ways and I love everything they do. Hope to meet them one day. Thanks for having them on your show

What an insightful interview. It's so interesting to hear their way of thinking and the decisions made to maintain the life they have.

She's so charming! Right off the bat. "Can I tell you a story? You don't have to put this in." And CTA works. I subbed when Samir said it. I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed.

Such a refreshing chat -- completely different life journey than the one I'm on and yet felt so many moments resonated with me (especially the 2nd gen/ entrepreneur logic - I scored 19/20 on that test lol!) Thank you guys for another fantastic interview!!💫

Awesome to hear about other channels outside of the "normal KZread bubble." There's plenty of 1 mil sub+ channels that aren't talked about much.

Always love your show! This one was especially fantastic!! 😊

Such a dope episode!

What a cool story! They seem like amazing people!

This is a fantastic family. They are kind, good people. Kind people that follow them care about every aspect of their family. People that aren't kind or happy are the ones crabbing at them about what they do. I hope they ignore those people and just know how good and kind they are and how happy they make some people. I can't get even out of the house much because of my health. They are my inspiration to want to get to the point that I can travel to at least my few bucket list states. I love their channel. I did find them through Instagram. I watch them and then I watch art videos from the artists that I know and that's pretty much it. Thank you SO much for hosting them!!

This has been such a magnificent discussion. You asked engaging questions which resulted in an open and honest conversation about life & business. I really enjoyed listening to the conversation. I learned a lot. Thank you for introducing me to TheBucketListFamily, I never knew they existed before.
