social media can be ... inspiring?

Can you believe that social media can be actually helpful?

It doesn't have to constant nonsense.

It can be a source of inspiration.

We all have the ability to curate our feeds to the things we value.

Today I thought I would share a handful of YouTube channels I've found valuable or insightful.

Ecom Soup — An ecommerce entrepreneur sharing insights from running a few multi-million dollar brands.

Van Neistat — An excellent artist, filmmaker and storyteller. Even better stuff on his Patreon.

Open Space — Tours of beautiful homes and interviews with the architects who designed them.

Soft White Underbelly — Interviews and portraits of the human condition by photographer, Mark Laita. (Warning: This one can be pretty heavy and is not for younger audiences, but I find it extremely thought provoking)

Lot — A a subscription service that distributes digital and physical necessities, basic wardrobes, organic self-care products, home and kids essentials. This guy does a weekly livestream as he's working on building the brand.

Shaffer Nickel — Shaffer is a YouTuber / storyteller. Everything he makes inspires me.

Justin Monarch — Justin marries philosophical wisdom and the beauty of nature. This one's a must-see.

Andrew Camarata — Andrew films himself operating heavy equipment. Pretty wild what this guy is able to accomplish as a one man show. I could watch this for hours.

Peter Santenello — Guy who travels around the world and interviews locals.

Mark Matthews — Amazing free ride mountain biker and trail builder.

Hate5six — Sonny has filmed thousands of live performances in the hardcore / punk genre. They’re all here.

Coulou — Improvised ambient jazz.
