The Story of "Horses"
Added 2024-08-13 23:05:03 +0000 UTCJust a brief, low-touch video about how I ended up making my youtube channel -- starting from the very beginning.

2024-12-18 02:58:05 +0000 UTCMan, this video helped me. As a person who feels dependent on my creative pursuits to bring me people who care. Hearing your story has helped me feel a little less defeated when I feel I’ve failed. I trip over what I feel people will like, and ignore what I truly want to make. Thank you for this video, you don’t understand how it helps people that are in the same conflicted, creative limbo you were in. Truly my favorite YouTube channel, and I’m very glad I subscribed to the Patreon.

2024-11-29 05:07:45 +0000 UTCI love your work and recommend it to my kindred creatives, when they ask me to define your content, I just say, "It's an array of deep thoughts for thinkers and tinkers." Plus, my new neon green HORSES hat is a quick conversation starter. Thanks and keep it up!

2024-10-16 16:08:28 +0000 UTCThis is the first video of yours I’ve watched as a Patreon subscriber, and it makes me that much more sure that I made the right call subscribing. Thanks for sharing this!

2024-10-10 18:46:29 +0000 UTCThank you, Michael... I just joined today after listening to several of your YouTubes... Your thoughts & perspectives resonate deeply. In an early song I saw our world as "THE BIG TEST". My whole life has been a slow but early awakening, constantly buffeted by much of the world around me, trying to muffle who or whatever I am. As an artist /songwriter, I screech...I Yammer... I reflect and emote... It keeps me relatively sane in this sea of absurdity all around me Thanks for screeching out to the world and whoever or whatever we are. You are a soulmate with this whatever the fuck universe we find ourselves in. Much love and appreciation 🫂

2024-09-13 17:15:55 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing your authentic and unique story. I hope that we all get to continue to watch and listen as you continue this story that has altered many people's perspectives. I would love to hear what it was that made you settle on horses when you renamed the channel

2024-08-29 00:27:06 +0000 UTCMate, I was always interested by who could be creating such gorgeous, honest, perspective changing videos. To know more about your journey to this channel is honestly hard to put into words. But from the very little I know about you, you’re a special, persistent person Michael, and I respect you immensely. I’ve always had a thirst of knowledge. I read prolifically and at least attempt to get my head around big questions, but what you create has a certain spark that leaves me feeling so fulfilled. I haven’t found anything like your work, as it’s unique enough to be unable to copy to your degree. The dopamine boost I get when I see a new vid has dropped is always a welcome surprise. Keep creating, it’s your calling, we love it. A big thanks to your dear love as well, I think we’re all in her debt. Lots of love from the other side of the world 🇦🇺

2024-08-22 08:06:25 +0000 UTCi would love to watch a video on your culinary adventures. im 17 and im getting into the industry. it would also mean you wouldnt have to do so much reasearch on a patron vid its just your past. Nontheless love the content and i was one of those 50,000 people who watched your arthur video in the first hour, and ive been here ever since.

2024-08-21 06:43:44 +0000 UTCA wonderful story, with more to come, of course. I’m curious if you’ve ever been diagnosed with ADHD? I have, and many of your life challenges are very familiar.

2024-08-21 05:25:16 +0000 UTCIf I calculated the dates right, we would’ve been living in Chicago around the same time! To think we were once in the same city; and I could’ve been walking past this creative and resilient mind.. 😍🤯 keep up the good work mate

2024-08-20 18:23:47 +0000 UTCThank you for all your work and sharing this story! You are creating truly great things and will continue to do so.

2024-08-18 13:25:57 +0000 UTCThe previous comments, as well as the numbers, attest to the fact you are helping to make a better world, for which we all should be thankful. There are likely hundreds more yet unpenned.

2024-08-18 10:40:32 +0000 UTCThere is no one “right” pathway to success, but it’s hard to break the traditional mold like you did and that is worth celebrating! You are an inspiration to us all and I’m so glad you kept persevering even at your lowest points. Your thoughts and opinions offer a unique and valuable perspective that is often lacking in our modern world. Please never stop creating and putting your voice out there!

2024-08-14 19:32:27 +0000 UTCMichael, thank you for creating this extraordinary channel. It's truly a great benefit to the world. Because of you I've read Thoreau, Emerson, Marcus Aurelius and been exposed to so many new ideas I would likely have never seen otherwise. I've never supported anyone else on patreon and I'm unlikely to do so in the future, but I felt I needed to pay for the value you've provided. Likewise I felt I needed to write this comment, when I don't think I've ever written a comment on a video. Your channel is unique in the sense that I consider watching it to be time very well spent. It's not pure entertainment, nor entertainment dressed up as a useful educational resource as with so much else, it’s eye opening, thought provoking education. Well done and thank you. Please keep doing what you're doing.

2024-08-14 17:42:42 +0000 UTCi love the videos and how you go about presenting information, letting us take our own thoughts away but still pointing us in the right direction, please keep going!

2024-08-14 17:29:28 +0000 UTCWhat I like about your videos is that you seem to have authenticity with a refreshing sense of humility no matter what topic you approach. I am pretty sure I have a very different worldview than you do, but the fact that I can still enjoy your videos and find them interesting is a massive credit to your approach.

2024-08-14 04:30:33 +0000 UTCThank you Michael, your videos have brought me out of a covid slump and i am grateful for the peace, perspective and joy you've provided me this past year. Keep on keeping on brother, excited for what lies ahead for you

2024-08-14 00:30:12 +0000 UTCHearing that Chicago played a role in your life makes me happy..I was born and raised here..love your channel..my one and only complaint is that you don't put out a vid everyday lol..I drive for a living so I burn through content
WoodGrainLeatherSeats
2024-08-13 23:48:28 +0000 UTCI think I've asked you before about where you get the footage for your videos, and actually received an answer, so thank you for this as well! Much love :)

2024-08-13 23:47:02 +0000 UTCYour path is so similar to mine man, I just need to overcome my fear of hard work! Love your Horses...

2024-08-13 23:37:15 +0000 UTCThis feels raw and honest, Michael. Thank-you for the somewhat unbiased view of your creative passion. It helps me contextualise my own creative endeavours and helps me feel a little less like an extra terrestrial pretending to feel passionate about one thing or another. lol.
