Brothers Green, Pro Home Cooks, MikeG… whatever it is or whatever it changes to - you’re still the cool dude that taught me how to make sourdough bread. You have a special spot in my heart! ☺️
What started as two obviously stoned roommates cooking stuff turned into a gardening and using your own produce to make good home meals type channel. I'd call that a success.
It still is fun to see the old footage, despite the low video quality. It was a different time, but also I don't think this could have existed without it. A natural progression of a young man growing into adulthood.
I am a Mom of 12, 11 adopted out of foster care and they have expectations of 3 meals a day and snacks. I hate to cook. I have no creative ideas at all. Watching your videos and others on RUclips have helped me so much to get better at something I don't like to do. I have a instapot and airfryer because of you and they get used everyday. It has made my life so much easier and I have actually made some great things and I've found that it really isn't that hard if you have good inspiration. You have provided that and your realness and passion show through your videos. Thank you for sharing your life.
You know your gold when you get great comments from the older generation (me included). And your time line is awesome! "Do what you can with what you have" Never be afraid of change, no one stays the same over the course of a lifetime. Good job and great respect to you.
After the Brothers Green breakup I honestly thought I was done watching this channel, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and Pro Home Cooks really delivered. If the audience could survive that, surely we'll survive this. I look forward to watching whatever you put out! Also I would love a collab with someone like Gaz Oakley if you ever get the chance, and of course more Josh content :)
I began watching this channel when it was Brothers Green. When it became pro home cooks it felt it was what I needed at that time. Now, I am buying my first house with a garden and I love that feeling that this channel will evolve to what I need again. 😊 Keep the great job!
I literally learned cooking from you. I was so inspired seeing you make food from scratch in your small apartment in Brooklyn, that I started making food from scratch in my tiny kitchen in London many many moons ago. Now I have a 'how hard can it really be' attitude, some essential equipment and still the desire to make wholefood dishes for myself and loved-ones, saving tons of money and feeding me well. Thanks so much for playing a part in my journey, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you grow over the years.
congrats brother, big stuff! I enjoyed our Brothers Green days together and so happy to see all the epic changes you've made and the direction you've taken things in your life.
I remember watching the two of you back in the day when I was getting stupidly blazed and wanted something to watch and chill with. Glad to see you two are still around in one form or another.
I am elderly, and we eat plant based for health. In the past I enjoyed many of your videos, observations on ferments, bread, plant foods. Always something to learn and explore. I appreciate cooking that keeps in mind the animals and climate more everyday. Don’t forget to lean into that! Thanks.
I'm 60 years old, and YOU are the one who taught me how to quickly and easily dice a stupid onion with zero effort. I've watched all kinds of other cooks and chefs do it, but your method RULES. I find your shows to be fun, educational, and engaging, and I look forward to your new content. Keep having a great Life!
I found Brother's Green as an exhausted mom trying to find yummy meals my kids would actually eat that wouldn't break the bank. I binged the videos. I can't say I've watched many of your pro home cooks. Even though I am subscribed with all new videos notifications on, I wasn't sure how you got on my RUclips😂. I think I've watched 3-4 videos as pro home cooks. This video has put all the pieces together. Thank you for explaining it! I'm excited to hear that you're pulling away from pro home cooks and letting your creativity go wild again.
Pro Home Cooks is one the channels that showed me how to cook healthy food, when I got out of college instead of just boxes of pasta or frozen whatever. Thank you for all that I've learned and I'm excited to see what happens in upcoming content!
I’m heading to 80 now and I can assure you you will have many evolutions in your life. Cuz life is too long to be content with one passion. You don’t wear the same clothes you wore 20 years ago; you won’t wear the same interests - hopefully. If you’re ready for change and seek it, it’s less hard. Looks to me like you are just diversifying. Nice way to evolve. I’m excited for your upcoming videos.
To those who watch the video, the full thing, you are the ones that will be here forever, always part of the community , because we all know if you watch all the videos you appreciate the work he does more.
As a qualified Australian chef, that's worked in too many places to name but including catering for Buckingham palace and Windsor castle. I love watching your content for me to cook stuff at home, which is weird but it works..
@@5GreenAcres I don't think most would consider the UK royal family the rulers of the world by any stretch of the imagination but they are perhaps at least a top tier monarchy. I like that a professional has derived some inspiration for their home cooking from Mike here.
This world is in so dire need of transparency, honesty and authenticity. It's so obvious. You hit all 3 so eloquently here in this "rant" as you called it, but I think everyone will notice and appreciate this video for what it was. I have been around since BrothersGreen and have enjoyed watching you grow. Looking forward to the new adventure of incorporating your gardening into your channel. Good Luck Mike.
Started watching when it was Brothers Green Eats, subscribed back then, stayed for Pro Home Cooks, and took cooking more seriously and here we are. You're the reason why I have a set of Tupperware containers, and why I want to pack lunches for work or any long outing (involved with packedlunchpact, but it inspired me).
Hi I’m 73 years old , and I’ve been watching your videos . I’ve learned a lot from you ! Congratulations to you , Lifebymikeg ! I will continue to watch your videos ! Best of luck always !
Started with a 15 minutes cooking videos, then decided to rewatch all old videos, felt the brothers green vibe, then watched you first talking video about becoming pro home cooks, now it's life by Mike g and I love it, honestly I love watching you grow and change and openly talking about it. You made me make kombucha, own bread, learn fermentation, making stocks, butchering, making burgers and pastas and so much more, and most of the stuff I did first time watching your videos. Love from Kharkiv, Ukriane by Valerii
I found your channel just in the last couple of months. Pro Home Cooks resonated with me 'cause that's what I aspire to be. I also recently retired from graphic design and have been looking for inspiration in how to combine design and cooking. So thanks for the pep talk on keeping your passion for life growing and always changing. I still plan to watch lots of your previous videos. I'm making your 15 minute pasta sauce tonight with my garden tomatoes.
It took 18 minutes to get to the point. That’s how much I enjoy your videos. The vibe you have created really speaks to who you are and what I hope to learn from you going forward. You’re awesome. Keep growing.
I've been a part of the pro home cook journey, but I'm excited to learn outside of cooking but still related subjects that can build off of the cooking world. You're one of my favorite cooks. I look forward to seeing more good stuff in the future.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I've recently realized how much of my own life is built around the approval of others and what I believe others would be impressed with and it's really refreshing to see someone who has struggled with a similar problem come out on the other side.
I started watching Brothers Green at the recommendation from my son. You have inspired him to be the meal provider and creator for his growing family (2 children 1 and 3 y/o). I am glad you are adapting your channel to what works for you. We all evolve and become better. Congratulations on your new channel!
Ive grown with you from the college, quick meal life style in the “city”. To now being a family with a home and garden now as well. You’ve taught me so much when it comes to cooking! I’ll always be here following along.
Here from the beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This felt so sincere and really thought out, i was so invested in every word. funny, i don't cook or garden but i love this channel! Keep growing Mike, we love it!
I was in a band once and it stopped being fun. That's when I had to get out. I had such a sense of relief. I've left other bands but none of them ever got me as down as this one. You are so smart to follow your passion. I discovered you as Pro Home Cooks. I look forward to your expanded content, especially gardening and composting (on a postage stamp.) I'm an apt dweller for life. Congrats on the change!
Your channel is the reason I started branching out as a foodie and exploring the wonders of cooking! I went semi-vegan a few years ago and stumbled upon your videos on Indian food. I’m no where near vegan still, but I always drift back to your channel! Now that I’m an adult I’ve been thinking about starting gardening and I love that the changes in this channel reflect things I want to bring into my life 💜 I know I’ve always loved the energy you create in the studio and so do thousands of other people 💜 thank you for sharing your journey and passion with us!
I would absolutly love seeing more in depth garden videos with these new changes! Like, what vegetables you should plant when and general gardening tips.
Best of luck with the new changes. I only recently discovered your videos, but I will continue to follow you. I appreciate the sensible, realistic, supportive approach that strives for delicious food for healthy eaters and a healthy planet while pushing me, an average home cook, to expand my skills and repertoire. Thank you so much. 😊
Hey Mike, one piece of unsolicited advice: Consider using capital letters at the start of each 'word' in the new name - LifeByMikeG or Life By Mike G or Life by Mike G. The use of only the one capital and smooshed together words looks very amateur. Been here since the Brothers Green days and I hope this rebranding give you all that you need to find contentment!
Couldn't agree more. In the UK we have a restaurant chain called Wagamama's and they don't use capital letters ever. Anywhere. I absolutely hate having to go onto their website because of it.
I started watching in the Brothers Green era while I was in my college dormitory. I don't believe I have ever cooked anything that you or your brother featured. The channel has inspired me culinarily but the cooking alone was not what kept me coming back. In other words, I'm here for you, your aesthetic, your style, your passion, etc. I was disappointed when you went solo but you kept delivering! I am glad that you've chosen to re-plant yourself in a way that will nourish you with newfound motivation and creativity
Started watching you because you’re and your brothers funny stoner recipes were something I’d see myself making at 1am high af, as well as the change to pro home cooks around the time I went off to university, I matured, now as a fully grown man myself you’re going your own way and rebranding again. People can’t expect everything to stay the same, I’ve changed since I first discovered you like 7+ years ago, you’re brother moved onto his guru channel, and you carried on with the food oriented side of things. Yet the last maybe 4 years, moving from a studio back to a home, and foraging and growing your own stuff. Whatever works best! I’ll still be here recipe testing and watching along with you, keep it up Mike.
It was great hearing your story. I have been following you for a number of years. I did miss that little kitchen. Somehow that felt relatable. I have to admit I can't relate to a number of your videos. Many would not be able to afford, have space to do what you create. I still watch you. I wish you many years of waking up feeling inspired.
Honest, sensible, inspirational- it seems regardless of what your channel is named, today’s “content” is on brand. Bravo, Mike. Cheers to continued joy, honesty, & creativity. ❤
Thank you for sharing this with us 💛 I’ve been watching your videos for the last 5 years as I began my own cooking/homesteading journey. Thank you for being open with us about your experiences and I’m looking forward to seeing where your creativity takes us!
Im happy and proud of you for showing up for yourself, family and art ❤ It can be mentally chaotic being a creative stuck in a box, I am thankful for your content. It sure reflects the amazing man you are 😊
I remember the exact recipe that got me hooked to Brothers Green Eats. Cinnamon raisin, nutella, strawberries, and bananas. Delicious. It was part of the George Foreman grill dessert series. Your videos provided me with a lot of inspiration, knowledge, and instilled a sense of confidence in my ability to cook and provide for my friend's and family. Throughout the mistakes in the kitchen and mishaps from my attempts, I've always returned to learn more from your channel. One of which being the fermentation series. I tried my best to make kimchi but it never turned out the way I thought it could. One day, at the food market, I decided to strike up a conversation with the kimchi vendor hoping to learn more about fermentation and the next thing you know, we're going on a date. And now, we're madly in love. Sometimes it's difficult to actually pinpoint the impact people have on your life but when you spoke about finding inspiration and it being the catalyst for the rebrand, I began to get really teary eyed listening to your rant. And yes, as an on-and-off fan, I watched the whole thing - including the ads! Suffice to say, best of luck to your new channel and I look forward to the zany ideas, the DIY edits, and the next great opportunity for you. As for me, I'm off to the grocery store to make the classic cinnamon raisin nutella (but with apples) for my girl. P.S. Check out the Spirited Man by Van Neistat www.youtube.com/@vanneistat
Dude, your air fryer videos have transformed my eating habits. You underlined, and reaffirmed my belief that cooking can be SO flexible, and I've since been eating SO MUCH healthier with just a few tweaks thanks to you. Lifebymikeg all the way good sir!
Love your sincereness ❤ ! It’s also inspiring how you are following your alignment. It’s the path that I’m on right now and you sharing is almost a confirmation for me to keep going in that direction! Thank you 🙏🏻!
Onwards and upwards Mike! I was just thinking the other day that I haven't seen a video recommended to me by you in a long time and here you are. As an artist, I get it. You can do what you love for a living but it's still a job and you will eventually get burn out from the repetition if you end up doing the same thing over and over, it's stifling. You need some novelty, something that feels like a natural progression and I think that is where your channel is at. I think this is going to be fantastic! We will get more of a vlog style that shows a day in the life behind your old series. I would love to see some day to day stuff where you are just taking care of your garden and chickens etc, maybe some tips on how you grow your veggies. (I have more of a black thumb than green lol, I'll take all the help I can get! haha). This is opening up your options for creating content on your own terms without putting yourself in a box again hopefully. I know a lot of youtubers will just create a new channel for separate types of content and urge viewers to go sub there too, sometimes it works, sometimes It doesn't. Sorry for the long, disjointed message, I am excited to see what you're going to do, I'm wishing you and your family the best!
Hey Mike! The first thing I noticed after I saw a new upload was, why isn't it from PRO HOME COOKS coz you've literally made it a household name. But, it also means LifebyMikeG will turn into a household name too :) What the viewers, or I love about you is your smartness and creativity and we'd love to see it in any form :) All the very best for the journey ahead and ready to experience all changes with you :) Lots of love & positive vibes ✨
God, I couldn't say it any better than that, so I won't! Except ditto! Great comment @Child_Prodigyyy, and good luck Mike, am always a watcher! (dyslexia, I can sure relate to that, I see words that aren't even there!)
I loved so many of the Pro Home Cooks videos! I’m glad I stuck around through the air fryer videos. Looking forward to seeing where you take the channel! I found PHC years after watching Brothers Green videos. Now on to the next era.
Wow. Been around for a very (very) long time…you changed the way I cook and operate in my kitchen. My hubby learned to make bread from your Sour Dough U. Love these transition videos that you post. So very real. Thanks for sharing the journey! ❤
Congratulations & much love to you & yours for following your North Star & finding more meaning & inspiration. I retired last year, and in a similar space…just allowing life to take the form it’s meant to. Will certainly keep watching! 😊
Awesome! Congrats on the new page for the channel! Thanks for the history of you and your channel! My family and I love your content- keep on knocking out the great shows! Love from TEXAS- Matt
thanks for the explanation! I’m so happy you’re happy! I’ve been watching about five years, for most of the Pro Home Cooks period, and I absolutely love watching because of YOU. What you share is interesting and helpful, your enthusiasm and personality is infectious and encouraging, and I’m truly looking forward to following what you’re up in real life and continuing to learn. Your happiness and enthusiasm will make the channel even more enjoyable for us, so thanks for making this change and bringing us along. Thanks for all your hard work!
I’ve enjoyed/learned from your channel for several years. I never knew the inception of your journey. WOW. Being a suburban gardener. Vegetarian for 45 yrs. I know I will enjoy and absorb all,your new content. Keep up the good work. 🎉
Glad you were able re-steer that cruise ship! I just started watching your content after I got my air-fryer last week. It's your approach to cooking is what makes you very approachable to everyone!
I don't usually comment on videos but I just wanted to let you know. Pro home cook really helped me with my beginning cooking skills when I started years ago. The thing I loved about you, over other cooking channels, was how you taught about improvising and substituting rather than following exact recipes. And learning from mistakes. Like the fact that you would leave those in videos and talk about what you did wrong and how you fixed. It really inspired me and showed me that it wasn't uncommon to mess up a dish. Now I'm constantly challenging myself to new ways of cooking.
@@chrisweldon6076 Mike always had good advice and techniques on how to cook. If you know what you like, then you can make good food. Just learn how it works and how it works for you. I've loved cooking since grade school.
Have been watching the video's for many years, and loved the development and growth you shared. Great that you found a new direction that fits your life. I'll still keep watching :) Good luck with the upcoming projects and plans.
First video I ever watched of yours was the "15 Mistakes Most Beginner Cooks Make (part 1)" from 2017, and that was the first time I was following a framework instead of a recipe. By the end of it, I remember feeling like I was genuinely cooking on my own instead of following specific instructions exactly. That continued with Conquer the Kitchen, sourdough recipes, and many more videos of yours. And now that passion has grown, and I am a professional cook just turned professional bread baker. So I owe a huge debt of thanks to you, especially early on in my cooking journey. Looking forward to what comes next!
came here to the comment section to post almost exactly this, i was already a restaurant manager back then, making simple dishes over and over again, but had a problem thinking outside the box when it came to my at home meals. after seeing the channel, alongside a few others it reignited my passion for being in the kitchen and propelled me to make better career decisions to work in restaurants with more creative freedom and a better work-life balanced hours of operation, and doing a much more well rounded job of preparing my meals at home. so crazy that we started with the exact same video, i was just about to scroll through all of the videos on this channel to find the year it was posted, but you ended up saving me some time, thanks, and congrats on your success
I found you this year during my first few months of marriage and it helped me become more confident in the kitchen! I am excited for you new brand. I always loved how you incorporated being a dad and gardening! Can't wait for this new chapter.
Your content truly changed everything in my life when it comes to cooking. Keep doing your thing - love that you keep all the older content for those who enjoy a bit of nostalgia lol.
I've been following this channel since the Brothers Green! I have enjoyed your journey through pro home cooks and hope to keep watching and learning in the future! Same as your life has changed, goals and interests have changed, mine has too. I have started to do gardening, got into pickling, and your videos helped me to stay inspired.
Man. Pro Home Cooks was a strong name and brand, I feel like this could have been a 2nd channel idea or something rather than this huge change-up to the core audience of this channel (again). I understand that your IG is already by this name, and I hope this change is a positive one for you and for the content. Dig your content, always have and probably always will.
totally valid point and you're not the first person to tell me this. In my case it wasn't worth keeping up the brand of Pro Home cooks since it wasn't serving me anymore. Im not the type of person to keep two channels going. I would rather put all my passion and inspiration into one brand ad channel that is aligned with where i'm currently at. Thanks for writing in.
@@LifebyMikeG I can definitely respect that. I genuinely do wish the best for this new direction for the channel and plan to keep watching, myself. Thanks for the reply!
I think you have already learned a lot in being a "pro hone cook" that yoh want to explore different avenues. Besides, you're a dad now and you've grown in so many ways that being only a pro home cook is definitely limiting now. You are a lot more than just a pro home cook.
Started watching a couple years ago because I HATE cooking. I don't know what it is but your channel keeps me inspired to at least try and to try new things. I am so appreciative of you. Its crazy but sometimes I feel like the channels I subscribe to are like friends who are cheering me on and when someone stops altogether, it is crushing. I love seeing people rebrand and do what they love because it creates energy again while keeping up with the people who love and support you. Anyway, thank you, Mike.
As someone who's been making various content for 13 years now on RUclips just starting to try and build a cooking channel, it's hard to not feel like I missed the boat and it's a losing battle so I can defs relate to the imposter syndrome stuff people talk about. I try to remember now it's not my job to be the best youtuber, it's just my job to be me ✌️
In since the brothers green. The buch and bread I make thank you sir! Will keep watching. Will also show this to my daughters as they finish up High School. Your journey is a testament to finding out what you love and doing it.
Joined the channel a few years ago to pick up more cooking knowledge and it has inspired me so much to try new things and think outside of the box when in the kitchen. I have made a plethora of dishes off of mixing various techniques from your channel that my family raves about. As a content creator myself I understand the need to change with the change and do what is best to keep the creativity and motivation going. You are doing amazing, keep the content coming, whatever it may be!
I'm so happy for you! I started subscribing about 8 years ago, and it has been great following your journey. I'm really looking forward to your upcoming content.
watching this was so wild! I started watching when it was brothers green on youtube, i still have the first sourdough pdf! but it was just ahead of me then, the quick and easy stuff was where i was at, so i stopped watching when it got more technical, but now, ive been watching pretty consistently since the brooklyn studio, my own life lead me to wanting to feed myself, with gardening and then covid shutdown (no work) sent me back to my parents farm, where i have a garden now too. my struggle is i went back to uni later, so at 30, I'm looking at the latter part of my course thinking i want to explore food, live healthier and eat good stuff that you just cant buy. You've put huge stamp on my life Mike and I've loved watching it all evolve and adapting your ideas for myself, all the way over here in Australia!!
To me, having followed you for the better part of a decade and having heard your story, it seems to me that all of the iterations of your channel have been logical progressions as you’ve grown as a person. You grew, your channel grew with you. I think this is a great shift and hope it gives you all great creative freedom you’re hoping for! I’m looking forward to more great content! On a side note, our timelines for our cooking stories have been fairly similar. I learned that I have some pretty serious food allergies about 15 years ago and had to totally relearn how to cook with a completely new set of ingredients that didn’t include gluten or dairy. I was learning about fermenting food about the same time as you and you helped me a lot with that and several other cooking techniques along those lines. I really appreciate your content and the passion with which you create it. So, thank you. 😀
Excited to see where you take the channel moving forward! I’m always amazed at when you put pieces out like this that feel so candid and personable in a really tasteful way. Congrats on find that joy in your life again and steering that big ol’ cruise ship back on course!
Super inspiring! Reminds me a lot of my own journey with my channel. I built a huge e-commerce business, walked away from it, back with a smaller team and trying to be inspired.
Thanks for filling us in Mike! I've been following you since I got RUclips coaching from Wade and it's nice to learn about your creative struggles and "North Star" moving forward. Honestly I'm more excited to learn about your gardening and lifestyle than cooking!
Been watching since 2014 in HS and was influenced to cook for big groups of friends in college over the next several years. I’ve loved watching, learning and sharing food and can’t wait to see the next steps of your journey.
I began watching during pro home cooks, and I absolutely love having a place to learn how to cook at home. As someone who also had to pivot branding over the past month, I definitely understand the feeling of feeling boxed by a brand that resonated at the time, but as life happened, it felt more contractive than expansive. Thank you for following your North Star and doing what felt right for you. So excited to continue following you on this journey
Honestly the name (no offence) never made sense to me...whenever I saw it I was expecting a company or a group or something. So tying your brand to your name makes way more sense. Looking forward to what you're gonna do next! 😊
I don't actually do a ton of cooking or food prep, but I enjoy watching your videos because you're so clearly excited about what you do, and that's fun to watch. I'm glad you've found a way to stay excited. All best on the path ahead!
Been watching since Brothers Green and the small apartment kitchen, confused during the intial changeover to Pro Home Cooks but loved the studio flat, have found the move to your Long Island home both comfy and personable, and I'm positive that I will be completely entralled with wherever Life By Mike G might go. Never give up your passion, but continue to evolve into whatever life requires of you. Thanks for all of your inspiration, and I'm looking forward to how you choose to share your life's journey.
I am incredibly new here, literally just found you today looking for air fryer recipes. I loved this video as it gave me a great introduction into where you are coming and I wish you all the luck in the world that this change is going to work out for you and allows you to keep doing the type of content that you love. Without any restrictions! There might even be new passions you discover now!
Glad you found your joy, Mike! Thank you for sharing your heart with your audience. Loving the cooking and lifestyle videos and the evolution of your channel. Keep up the great work. Your content is tops. Cheers!

What started as two obviously stoned roommates cooking stuff turned into a gardening and using your own produce to make good home meals type channel. I'd call that a success.
Haha pretty much nailed it

It still is fun to see the old footage, despite the low video quality. It was a different time, but also I don't think this could have existed without it. A natural progression of a young man growing into adulthood.

After the Brothers Green breakup I honestly thought I was done watching this channel, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and Pro Home Cooks really delivered. If the audience could survive that, surely we'll survive this. I look forward to watching whatever you put out!

I literally learned cooking from you. I was so inspired seeing you make food from scratch in your small apartment in Brooklyn, that I started making food from scratch in my tiny kitchen in London many many moons ago. Now I have a 'how hard can it really be' attitude, some essential equipment and still the desire to make wholefood dishes for myself and loved-ones, saving tons of money and feeding me well. Thanks so much for playing a part in my journey, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you grow over the years.
Amazing
congrats brother, big stuff! I enjoyed our Brothers Green days together and so happy to see all the epic changes you've made and the direction you've taken things in your life.
You two are amazing, wether working together or separately! So glad you've worked to maintain a great relationship!
I remember watching the two of you back in the day when I was getting stupidly blazed and wanted something to watch and chill with. Glad to see you two are still around in one form or another.
I'm looking forward to the new stuff. But please don't delete anything. I still come back to rewatch things
14:05 The wave of nostalgia I got from the clip of you cooking the steak with an iron in a hotel room. Legend.
I am elderly, and we eat plant based for health. In the past I enjoyed many of your videos, observations on ferments, bread, plant foods. Always something to learn and explore. I appreciate cooking that keeps in mind the animals and climate more everyday. Don’t forget to lean into that! Thanks.
I'm 60 years old, and YOU are the one who taught me how to quickly and easily dice a stupid onion with zero effort. I've watched all kinds of other cooks and chefs do it, but your method RULES. I find your shows to be fun, educational, and engaging, and I look forward to your new content. Keep having a great Life!
Which episode is that?
I found Brother's Green as an exhausted mom trying to find yummy meals my kids would actually eat that wouldn't break the bank. I binged the videos. I can't say I've watched many of your pro home cooks. Even though I am subscribed with all new videos notifications on, I wasn't sure how you got on my RUclips😂. I think I've watched 3-4 videos as pro home cooks. This video has put all the pieces together. Thank you for explaining it! I'm excited to hear that you're pulling away from pro home cooks and letting your creativity go wild again.
Pro Home Cooks is one the channels that showed me how to cook healthy food, when I got out of college instead of just boxes of pasta or frozen whatever. Thank you for all that I've learned and I'm excited to see what happens in upcoming content!
I’m heading to 80 now and I can assure you you will have many evolutions in your life. Cuz life is too long to be content with one passion. You don’t wear the same clothes you wore 20 years ago; you won’t wear the same interests - hopefully. If you’re ready for change and seek it, it’s less hard. Looks to me like you are just diversifying. Nice way to evolve. I’m excited for your upcoming videos.
Such wise advice! I agree with you it IS a nice way to evolve and I’m also excited for the new videos
To those who watch the video, the full thing, you are the ones that will be here forever, always part of the community , because we all know if you watch all the videos you appreciate the work he does more.
As a qualified Australian chef, that's worked in too many places to name but including catering for Buckingham palace and Windsor castle. I love watching your content for me to cook stuff at home, which is weird but it works..
You catered for the rulers of the world?
@@5GreenAcres I don't think most would consider the UK royal family the rulers of the world by any stretch of the imagination but they are perhaps at least a top tier monarchy. I like that a professional has derived some inspiration for their home cooking from Mike here.
This world is in so dire need of transparency, honesty and authenticity. It's so obvious. You hit all 3 so eloquently here in this "rant" as you called it, but I think everyone will notice and appreciate this video for what it was. I have been around since BrothersGreen and have enjoyed watching you grow. Looking forward to the new adventure of incorporating your gardening into your channel. Good Luck Mike.
thanks for sticking around !
Dude! It's more than just a couple of million of subscribers! 4.5M today! Own it! 💕🌞🌵😷
Started watching when it was Brothers Green Eats, subscribed back then, stayed for Pro Home Cooks, and took cooking more seriously and here we are. You're the reason why I have a set of Tupperware containers, and why I want to pack lunches for work or any long outing (involved with packedlunchpact, but it inspired me).
awesome stuff! thanks for writing in
Hi I’m 73 years old , and I’ve been watching your videos . I’ve learned a lot from you ! Congratulations to you , Lifebymikeg ! I will continue to watch your videos ! Best of luck always !
Big moves, my man. Excited to see what the future holds for you. If you're happy, we're happy.
Started with a 15 minutes cooking videos, then decided to rewatch all old videos, felt the brothers green vibe, then watched you first talking video about becoming pro home cooks, now it's life by Mike g and I love it, honestly I love watching you grow and change and openly talking about it. You made me make kombucha, own bread, learn fermentation, making stocks, butchering, making burgers and pastas and so much more, and most of the stuff I did first time watching your videos. Love from Kharkiv, Ukriane by Valerii
I found your channel just in the last couple of months. Pro Home Cooks resonated with me 'cause that's what I aspire to be. I also recently retired from graphic design and have been looking for inspiration in how to combine design and cooking. So thanks for the pep talk on keeping your passion for life growing and always changing. I still plan to watch lots of your previous videos. I'm making your 15 minute pasta sauce tonight with my garden tomatoes.
Brothers Green was how I was introduced to you, always loved your content.
It took 18 minutes to get to the point. That’s how much I enjoy your videos. The vibe you have created really speaks to who you are and what I hope to learn from you going forward. You’re awesome. Keep growing.
Dude I've seen bits and pieces of this but the full timeline is such a cool story. Congrats to the years past and many more to come!!
I've been a part of the pro home cook journey, but I'm excited to learn outside of cooking but still related subjects that can build off of the cooking world. You're one of my favorite cooks. I look forward to seeing more good stuff in the future.
Crazy it's already been 5 years since pro home cooks started. It's been an absolute joy to watch the channel evolve and grow.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I've recently realized how much of my own life is built around the approval of others and what I believe others would be impressed with and it's really refreshing to see someone who has struggled with a similar problem come out on the other side.
I started watching Brothers Green at the recommendation from my son. You have inspired him to be the meal provider and creator for his growing family (2 children 1 and 3 y/o). I am glad you are adapting your channel to what works for you. We all evolve and become better. Congratulations on your new channel!
That’s such a nice message! 😊
Ive grown with you from the college, quick meal life style in the “city”. To now being a family with a home and garden now as well. You’ve taught me so much when it comes to cooking! I’ll always be here following along.
Here from the beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This felt so sincere and really thought out, i was so invested in every word. funny, i don't cook or garden but i love this channel! Keep growing Mike, we love it!
I was in a band once and it stopped being fun. That's when I had to get out. I had such a sense of relief. I've left other bands but none of them ever got me as down as this one. You are so smart to follow your passion. I discovered you as Pro Home Cooks. I look forward to your expanded content, especially gardening and composting (on a postage stamp.) I'm an apt dweller for life. Congrats on the change!
0:57 I have been watching you for last 7 years when your brother was there with you.. Will keep watching too.. Go Mike!
Your channel is the reason I started branching out as a foodie and exploring the wonders of cooking! I went semi-vegan a few years ago and stumbled upon your videos on Indian food. I’m no where near vegan still, but I always drift back to your channel! Now that I’m an adult I’ve been thinking about starting gardening and I love that the changes in this channel reflect things I want to bring into my life 💜 I know I’ve always loved the energy you create in the studio and so do thousands of other people 💜 thank you for sharing your journey and passion with us!
I would absolutly love seeing more in depth garden videos with these new changes!
Like, what vegetables you should plant when and general gardening tips.
Sounds like another channel! Maybe Mike could partner with someone on that?
Best of luck with the new changes. I only recently discovered your videos, but I will continue to follow you. I appreciate the sensible, realistic, supportive approach that strives for delicious food for healthy eaters and a healthy planet while pushing me, an average home cook, to expand my skills and repertoire. Thank you so much. 😊
Hey Mike, one piece of unsolicited advice: Consider using capital letters at the start of each 'word' in the new name - LifeByMikeG or Life By Mike G or Life by Mike G. The use of only the one capital and smooshed together words looks very amateur.
Been here since the Brothers Green days and I hope this rebranding give you all that you need to find contentment!
Couldn't agree more. In the UK we have a restaurant chain called Wagamama's and they don't use capital letters ever. Anywhere. I absolutely hate having to go onto their website because of it.
I started watching in the Brothers Green era while I was in my college dormitory. I don't believe I have ever cooked anything that you or your brother featured. The channel has inspired me culinarily but the cooking alone was not what kept me coming back. In other words, I'm here for you, your aesthetic, your style, your passion, etc. I was disappointed when you went solo but you kept delivering! I am glad that you've chosen to re-plant yourself in a way that will nourish you with newfound motivation and creativity
Started watching you because you’re and your brothers funny stoner recipes were something I’d see myself making at 1am high af, as well as the change to pro home cooks around the time I went off to university, I matured, now as a fully grown man myself you’re going your own way and rebranding again. People can’t expect everything to stay the same, I’ve changed since I first discovered you like 7+ years ago, you’re brother moved onto his guru channel, and you carried on with the food oriented side of things. Yet the last maybe 4 years, moving from a studio back to a home, and foraging and growing your own stuff. Whatever works best! I’ll still be here recipe testing and watching along with you, keep it up Mike.
It was great hearing your story. I have been following you for a number of years. I did miss that little kitchen. Somehow that felt relatable. I have to admit I can't relate to a number of your videos. Many would not be able to afford, have space to do what you create. I still watch you. I wish you many years of waking up feeling inspired.
Been around since brothers green. Learned so much from you on pro home cooks. Excited to hear you found your joy!
I still save your videos to my Brothers Green playlist LOL You and your brother really helped me discover how much I love cooking all those years ago!
Honest, sensible, inspirational- it seems regardless of what your channel is named, today’s “content” is on brand. Bravo, Mike. Cheers to continued joy, honesty, & creativity. ❤
Thank you for sharing this with us 💛 I’ve been watching your videos for the last 5 years as I began my own cooking/homesteading journey. Thank you for being open with us about your experiences and I’m looking forward to seeing where your creativity takes us!
Im happy and proud of you for showing up for yourself, family and art ❤ It can be mentally chaotic being a creative stuck in a box, I am thankful for your content. It sure reflects the amazing man you are 😊
I remember the exact recipe that got me hooked to Brothers Green Eats. Cinnamon raisin, nutella, strawberries, and bananas. Delicious. It was part of the George Foreman grill dessert series.
Your videos provided me with a lot of inspiration, knowledge, and instilled a sense of confidence in my ability to cook and provide for my friend's and family. Throughout the mistakes in the kitchen and mishaps from my attempts, I've always returned to learn more from your channel. One of which being the fermentation series.
I tried my best to make kimchi but it never turned out the way I thought it could. One day, at the food market, I decided to strike up a conversation with the kimchi vendor hoping to learn more about fermentation and the next thing you know, we're going on a date. And now, we're madly in love.
Sometimes it's difficult to actually pinpoint the impact people have on your life but when you spoke about finding inspiration and it being the catalyst for the rebrand, I began to get really teary eyed listening to your rant. And yes, as an on-and-off fan, I watched the whole thing - including the ads!
Suffice to say, best of luck to your new channel and I look forward to the zany ideas, the DIY edits, and the next great opportunity for you. As for me, I'm off to the grocery store to make the classic cinnamon raisin nutella (but with apples) for my girl.

Dude, your air fryer videos have transformed my eating habits.
You underlined, and reaffirmed my belief that cooking can be SO flexible, and I've since been eating SO MUCH healthier with just a few tweaks thanks to you. Lifebymikeg all the way good sir!
this is amazing. happy to read this
Love your sincereness ❤ ! It’s also inspiring how you are following your alignment. It’s the path that I’m on right now and you sharing is almost a confirmation for me to keep going in that direction! Thank you 🙏🏻!
Onwards and upwards Mike! I was just thinking the other day that I haven't seen a video recommended to me by you in a long time and here you are. As an artist, I get it. You can do what you love for a living but it's still a job and you will eventually get burn out from the repetition if you end up doing the same thing over and over, it's stifling.
You need some novelty, something that feels like a natural progression and I think that is where your channel is at. I think this is going to be fantastic! We will get more of a vlog style that shows a day in the life behind your old series. I would love to see some day to day stuff where you are just taking care of your garden and chickens etc, maybe some tips on how you grow your veggies. (I have more of a black thumb than green lol, I'll take all the help I can get! haha). This is opening up your options for creating content on your own terms without putting yourself in a box again hopefully. I know a lot of youtubers will just create a new channel for separate types of content and urge viewers to go sub there too, sometimes it works, sometimes It doesn't.
Sorry for the long, disjointed message, I am excited to see what you're going to do, I'm wishing you and your family the best!
Good luck, Mike. Thank you for all your contributions so far, and keep up the great work.
Hey Mike! The first thing I noticed after I saw a new upload was, why isn't it from PRO HOME COOKS coz you've literally made it a household name. But, it also means LifebyMikeG will turn into a household name too :) What the viewers, or I love about you is your smartness and creativity and we'd love to see it in any form :) All the very best for the journey ahead and ready to experience all changes with you :) Lots of love & positive vibes ✨
thanks for the support!
God, I couldn't say it any better than that, so I won't! Except ditto! Great comment @Child_Prodigyyy, and good luck Mike, am always a watcher! (dyslexia, I can sure relate to that, I see words that aren't even there!)
Hey, this is from India, loved your rant . As long as ur doing it I love it.
I took a plunge in fermentation due to you🎉
He’s a nice man.
I loved so many of the Pro Home Cooks videos!
I’m glad I stuck around through the air fryer videos. Looking forward to seeing where you take the channel! I found PHC years after watching Brothers Green videos. Now on to the next era.
Wow. Been around for a very (very) long time…you changed the way I cook and operate in my kitchen. My hubby learned to make bread from your Sour Dough U. Love these transition videos that you post. So very real. Thanks for sharing the journey! ❤
Congratulations & much love to you & yours for following your North Star & finding more meaning & inspiration. I retired last year, and in a similar space…just allowing life to take the form it’s meant to. Will certainly keep watching! 😊
Awesome! Congrats on the new page for the channel! Thanks for the history of you and your channel! My family and I love your content- keep on knocking out the great shows!
Love from TEXAS- Matt
thanks for the explanation! I’m so happy you’re happy! I’ve been watching about five years, for most of the Pro Home Cooks period, and I absolutely love watching because of YOU. What you share is interesting and helpful, your enthusiasm and personality is infectious and encouraging, and I’m truly looking forward to following what you’re up in real life and continuing to learn. Your happiness and enthusiasm will make the channel even more enjoyable for us, so thanks for making this change and bringing us along. Thanks for all your hard work!
Brothers green to pro home cooks to lifebymikeg 🤯
I think we'll have couple more name changes in future. Like, oh, I have an idea, let's change things. 😁
There were too many cooks in the kitchen and this time there was too much kitchen in the cook
Crazy to think I’ve been here long enough for a second rebranding.
Yes, I also remember the brothers green!
@@DmitryPolovka cap bruh
I’ve enjoyed/learned from your channel for several years. I never knew the inception of your journey. WOW. Being a suburban gardener. Vegetarian for 45 yrs. I know I will enjoy and absorb all,your new content. Keep up the good work. 🎉
I am one of the viewers that discovered your channel via MTV. Been subscribed ever since, that will not change.
there you go! at least there was one of you haha
@@LifebyMikeG Make it two!
Glad you were able re-steer that cruise ship! I just started watching your content after I got my air-fryer last week. It's your approach to cooking is what makes you very approachable to everyone!
The name does not make the channel rather the man behind the camera is the reason i will continue to watch.😊
I don't usually comment on videos but I just wanted to let you know. Pro home cook really helped me with my beginning cooking skills when I started years ago. The thing I loved about you, over other cooking channels, was how you taught about improvising and substituting rather than following exact recipes. And learning from mistakes. Like the fact that you would leave those in videos and talk about what you did wrong and how you fixed. It really inspired me and showed me that it wasn't uncommon to mess up a dish. Now I'm constantly challenging myself to new ways of cooking.
Since the Brothers Green days, still love it
I actually remember that too! I think I joined late in those days because I remember the announcement happening in the first year I found him 😅
@@chrisweldon6076 Mike always had good advice and techniques on how to cook. If you know what you like, then you can make good food. Just learn how it works and how it works for you. I've loved cooking since grade school.
amazing!
Have been watching the video's for many years, and loved the development and growth you shared. Great that you found a new direction that fits your life. I'll still keep watching :) Good luck with the upcoming projects and plans.
First video I ever watched of yours was the "15 Mistakes Most Beginner Cooks Make (part 1)" from 2017, and that was the first time I was following a framework instead of a recipe. By the end of it, I remember feeling like I was genuinely cooking on my own instead of following specific instructions exactly. That continued with Conquer the Kitchen, sourdough recipes, and many more videos of yours. And now that passion has grown, and I am a professional cook just turned professional bread baker. So I owe a huge debt of thanks to you, especially early on in my cooking journey. Looking forward to what comes next!
wow amazing journey! thanks for writing in
came here to the comment section to post almost exactly this, i was already a restaurant manager back then, making simple dishes over and over again, but had a problem thinking outside the box when it came to my at home meals. after seeing the channel, alongside a few others it reignited my passion for being in the kitchen and propelled me to make better career decisions to work in restaurants with more creative freedom and a better work-life balanced hours of operation, and doing a much more well rounded job of preparing my meals at home.
so crazy that we started with the exact same video, i was just about to scroll through all of the videos on this channel to find the year it was posted, but you ended up saving me some time, thanks, and congrats on your success
@@vexyzdlurkinglegend That's awesome, same video too! Congrats on the journey
I found you this year during my first few months of marriage and it helped me become more confident in the kitchen! I am excited for you new brand. I always loved how you incorporated being a dad and gardening! Can't wait for this new chapter.
Your content truly changed everything in my life when it comes to cooking. Keep doing your thing - love that you keep all the older content for those who enjoy a bit of nostalgia lol.
I've been following this channel since the Brothers Green! I have enjoyed your journey through pro home cooks and hope to keep watching and learning in the future! Same as your life has changed, goals and interests have changed, mine has too. I have started to do gardening, got into pickling, and your videos helped me to stay inspired.
Man. Pro Home Cooks was a strong name and brand, I feel like this could have been a 2nd channel idea or something rather than this huge change-up to the core audience of this channel (again).
I understand that your IG is already by this name, and I hope this change is a positive one for you and for the content.
Dig your content, always have and probably always will.
I agree
totally valid point and you're not the first person to tell me this. In my case it wasn't worth keeping up the brand of Pro Home cooks since it wasn't serving me anymore. Im not the type of person to keep two channels going. I would rather put all my passion and inspiration into one brand ad channel that is aligned with where i'm currently at. Thanks for writing in.
@@LifebyMikeG I can definitely respect that. I genuinely do wish the best for this new direction for the channel and plan to keep watching, myself. Thanks for the reply!
@@cawrhy thanks!
I think you have already learned a lot in being a "pro hone cook" that yoh want to explore different avenues. Besides, you're a dad now and you've grown in so many ways that being only a pro home cook is definitely limiting now. You are a lot more than just a pro home cook.
Started watching a couple years ago because I HATE cooking. I don't know what it is but your channel keeps me inspired to at least try and to try new things. I am so appreciative of you. Its crazy but sometimes I feel like the channels I subscribe to are like friends who are cheering me on and when someone stops altogether, it is crushing. I love seeing people rebrand and do what they love because it creates energy again while keeping up with the people who love and support you. Anyway, thank you, Mike.
As someone who's been making various content for 13 years now on RUclips just starting to try and build a cooking channel, it's hard to not feel like I missed the boat and it's a losing battle so I can defs relate to the imposter syndrome stuff people talk about. I try to remember now it's not my job to be the best youtuber, it's just my job to be me ✌️
In since the brothers green. The buch and bread I make thank you sir! Will keep watching. Will also show this to my daughters as they finish up High School. Your journey is a testament to finding out what you love and doing it.
Brothers green to pro home cooks to lifebymikeg Keep it going Mike!
Joined the channel a few years ago to pick up more cooking knowledge and it has inspired me so much to try new things and think outside of the box when in the kitchen. I have made a plethora of dishes off of mixing various techniques from your channel that my family raves about. As a content creator myself I understand the need to change with the change and do what is best to keep the creativity and motivation going. You are doing amazing, keep the content coming, whatever it may be!
Wish You all the Best! Love your content ❤❤❤❤
I'm so happy for you! I started subscribing about 8 years ago, and it has been great following your journey. I'm really looking forward to your upcoming content.
Why is it Lifebymikeg and not Life By Mike G? Is there a RUclips algorithm reason?
great question
Probably because he wanted it to be the same as instagram
better q is why not lifebymikeg?
xXlyfebymykegXx
I read it as Lifeby Mikeg ... Odd formatting
watching this was so wild! I started watching when it was brothers green on youtube, i still have the first sourdough pdf! but it was just ahead of me then, the quick and easy stuff was where i was at, so i stopped watching when it got more technical, but now, ive been watching pretty consistently since the brooklyn studio, my own life lead me to wanting to feed myself, with gardening and then covid shutdown (no work) sent me back to my parents farm, where i have a garden now too. my struggle is i went back to uni later, so at 30, I'm looking at the latter part of my course thinking i want to explore food, live healthier and eat good stuff that you just cant buy. You've put huge stamp on my life Mike and I've loved watching it all evolve and adapting your ideas for myself, all the way over here in Australia!!
Wishing you the best in this new endeavor !
Qu'est-ce que tu fais là toi mdrr
To me, having followed you for the better part of a decade and having heard your story, it seems to me that all of the iterations of your channel have been logical progressions as you’ve grown as a person. You grew, your channel grew with you. I think this is a great shift and hope it gives you all great creative freedom you’re hoping for! I’m looking forward to more great content!
On a side note, our timelines for our cooking stories have been fairly similar. I learned that I have some pretty serious food allergies about 15 years ago and had to totally relearn how to cook with a completely new set of ingredients that didn’t include gluten or dairy. I was learning about fermenting food about the same time as you and you helped me a lot with that and several other cooking techniques along those lines. I really appreciate your content and the passion with which you create it. So, thank you. 😀
Loving this change
Excited to see where you take the channel moving forward! I’m always amazed at when you put pieces out like this that feel so candid and personable in a really tasteful way. Congrats on find that joy in your life again and steering that big ol’ cruise ship back on course!
Super inspiring! Reminds me a lot of my own journey with my channel. I built a huge e-commerce business, walked away from it, back with a smaller team and trying to be inspired.
You are still alive?
Thanks for filling us in Mike! I've been following you since I got RUclips coaching from Wade and it's nice to learn about your creative struggles and "North Star" moving forward. Honestly I'm more excited to learn about your gardening and lifestyle than cooking!
I'm here for this.
Hey, I know you! Eric Gardening right? Lol
Been watching since 2014 in HS and was influenced to cook for big groups of friends in college over the next several years. I’ve loved watching, learning and sharing food and can’t wait to see the next steps of your journey.
Gotta add the song “Dupe - CTM” to your playlist bro 😅
Bring on the gardening! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Can’t wait to see what this new part of your journey has in store for you, and us.
maybe make the username Life By Mike G and not Lifebymikeg, i feel like it's really ugly
Yeah it looks weird...
I just started in the last few years. I love your style. Thank you for staying true to the basics!
Love the new logo and name! Can't wait For more
I began watching during pro home cooks, and I absolutely love having a place to learn how to cook at home. As someone who also had to pivot branding over the past month, I definitely understand the feeling of feeling boxed by a brand that resonated at the time, but as life happened, it felt more contractive than expansive. Thank you for following your North Star and doing what felt right for you. So excited to continue following you on this journey
Honestly the name (no offence) never made sense to me...whenever I saw it I was expecting a company or a group or something. So tying your brand to your name makes way more sense. Looking forward to what you're gonna do next! 😊
I don't actually do a ton of cooking or food prep, but I enjoy watching your videos because you're so clearly excited about what you do, and that's fun to watch. I'm glad you've found a way to stay excited. All best on the path ahead!
Been watching since Brothers Green and the small apartment kitchen, confused during the intial changeover to Pro Home Cooks but loved the studio flat, have found the move to your Long Island home both comfy and personable, and I'm positive that I will be completely entralled with wherever Life By Mike G might go. Never give up your passion, but continue to evolve into whatever life requires of you. Thanks for all of your inspiration, and I'm looking forward to how you choose to share your life's journey.
I am incredibly new here, literally just found you today looking for air fryer recipes. I loved this video as it gave me a great introduction into where you are coming and I wish you all the luck in the world that this change is going to work out for you and allows you to keep doing the type of content that you love. Without any restrictions! There might even be new passions you discover now!
Glad you found your joy, Mike! Thank you for sharing your heart with your audience. Loving the cooking and lifestyle videos and the evolution of your channel. Keep up the great work. Your content is tops. Cheers!
