Hey everyone, this is Thomas, I just want to say that the morning I walked out with TD to meet Staffan was so strange. I've been a skeptical of "energy" and how much influence manifesting something can have. But that morning, I decided to approach looking for a stranger differently. I took my time. I wanted to create the most optimal headspace for myself. I went for a run, meditated, felt grateful about the opportunities we have and everyone around us and decided that I was going to walk out the door and change someone's life. Changing someone's life might sound hyperbolic to some of you, but I knew that whatever would happen that day, it would forever alter their perception of the world. Then TD landed that morning and arrived with equally good vibes. But we weren't in a rush. We didn't stress about "finding someone" for the episode, or just filming for the sake of filming. Instead, we went for coffee to catch up before going out, we took our time prepping the gear and making sure we were both in the right headspace. We made a dozen small decisions that morning that pushed us back by 5 minutes each time, then walked out and immediately met Staffan. You might call this luck. But for me, this just showed how our perspective, intention and the energy we bring to everything we do is important beyond measure. You just can't fake it. It's real and fires inside of you. TD was for the longest time one of the most skeptical people I've ever met but through experiences like this, he now fully believes anything is possible. Believing and positive energy can truly go a long way. Much love
I am crying and laughing as a roller coaster trip of emotions for all your comments! Thank Yes Theory Family for changing my self esteem to a new level, I promise you all I will do my best to spread it in best possible. Started cry again when writing this! LOVE YOU!!!
TEARS OF GRATITUDE!! Thank you so much for all this love! I can't realize it's me you talking about. THANK YOU YES FAMILY FOR THIS KINDNESS. I LOVE YOU ALL YOU CHANGED MY SELF ESTEEM and gave me extra wings to keep on sending kindness and positivity to the world!
@@viggsly1491 jag är svensk med och hans namn här pp youtube är Staffan. Hans namn när han var med i malou är Staffan men visst han kanske har ändrat det sen dess
It’s so beautiful to go back and watch this video knowing that Staffan is apart of YesTheory now. It makes complete sense, his energy is infectious and you can’t help but smile.
More so knowing that the moment in which he said "yes" completely changed his life forever. Such a 50/50 chance of just continuing your life or just completely transforming it.
Aidan Chin Of course the professional microphone they use is a lot better, hence the big difference that makes the sound quality appear like being shitty. Bet the mic is pretty good but the sudden switch comes with a sudden drop in sound quality
Just made Staffan’s quote “You can fail with what you do, but never with who you are.” my official senior quote for my yearbook. Love you Staffan & YesTheory !!
Isn't it beautiful how Staffan's 'Yes' forever changed his life? He gained true brothers and friends for life, and he's getting to speak in front of so many seekers at the Iceman premiers - just as he had always dreamed/envisioned. All this thanks to that one moment. That moment of saying yes to life, yes to stepping into the unknown and flying across the globe to swap lives with a stranger. How wonderfully stars aligned. This makes my heart so so happy.
I know Steffan is getting huge shine in the comments, and deservingly so (he's sunshine in a human being), but wanted to shout out how awesome Alex was as well! Stepped up to the plate on sight, seemed to have an absolute blast in the culture and with the people. He deserves some shine too for being so open and accepting!
yeah i love his personality and how he handled this trip. And not many people noticed that his Asian looking friend joined the AMerican trip so there was actually a third participant in this.
@@woody7138 no, in this same video; when mat and ammar convince Alex to join, there is an Asian looking guy next to Alex. That asian guy later on is with yes theory and Staffan all those 3 days, you can see him in the football game, in the river, jogging, etc. So yeah he also participated in this experience in a certain way :)
it takes 72 hours to get Esta approved for travels to the US from EU unless he already had a valid one. Each esta approval is for two years. So how was this possible for Steffen to travel the day after. Is this scripted?. Still love the channel regardless cuz its great entertainment.
@@billy6243 There might be a special agreement with Sweden. I mean, i dont know, but some countries do have special agreements. Maybe thats why Sweden was chosen for this. Edited: yes, I googled this and this is from Sweden's tourism website: "Swedish citizens going to the US for tourism or business* and who will stay for 90 days or less might be able to travel without a visa ". You can google it
You can tell Staffan has been through a lot of tough times in his life; you can see it in his eyes. But despite that he's still so happy and has a positive outlook on life which I think is so admirable.
Yo why is this comment section only mentioning Staffan? My guy ALEX 😤 really had the confidence to swap lives with a stranger and go wayyyy beyond his comfort zone. Put some respect on his name.
I'm re-watching this video after 3 years and I realize what Staffan said has really stuck with me for these 3 years. Whenever I feel insecure at work, or if I fail at something, or don't feel good enough I remind myself that I can only fail at what I'm doing, not who I am. Your words really stuck Staffan!
nah, you're not the only one. Though it's the first 'The Yes Theory' I watched and was a cocktail of emotions. The anticipation, the joy, the serious 'inspiring vibes' and the childlike amusement everytime Staffan said, Amerricca ..lol Good luck and happiness to you. Love from India.!

Apart from the plane ticket, you don’t need much. The comfort snd lifestyle we’re used to in Western countries comes at a price: a planned life path. If you’re willing to put that path on hold and dare to discover that it doesn’t really affect your chances “back home”, it can be an eye-opening experience to live somewhere else for a year, doing simple stuff for not a lot.
eriks vonrosen bestie mid twenties is YOUNG totally ignore anyone who told you otherwise.There are tons of people who wish they were your age and tons more who didn’t even start traveling till their late 20s or even later. You’re at the perfect time to go!
Yeah especially in today's America. Everyone pitting against each other. It's crazy how the American Dream has died for americans and foreigners it's just beginning
You got so lucky with that swedish guy. Seems like a great bloke. People in the Nordics are generally those kinds of people who mind their own stuff. Social distancing was a thing here even before covid 😂 It's not about being rude or shy or introverted, but respecting the space and peace of other people around you. And people may look kinda grumpy because they're usually just lost in their own thoughts surrounded by strangers. -a Finnish dude
@@AJ-ht3kf I love it, no one bothers anyone else with pointless stuff, so you know something is definitely wrong if a stranger comes to talk to you 😂 But also the massive extrovert in me would want that small talk culture to land here aswell >:C
I cheered when Alex said he'd do it and I don't even know him. His personality and that of his friends are just intoxicating! We need more people like this and it's honestly why I love all of Yes Theory's videos
@@rockadile101 no no I mean like laughter is intoxicating. Someone laughs and it makes you laugh. People's personalities can bring happiness and that's what I mean by intoxicating ❤
It's hilarious how much Steffan tells random people in the US that he's from Sweden. This vid just made me smile so much, keep up the good work guys!!!
"Sweeds are the most Introverted people generally in the world" first swedish guy stopped in the street: -You wanna spend the next 3 days in America in the house of a stranger? -Oh yeah why not let's do it!
Or us, the Norwegians👍🏼But there are always many exceptions 🤗I think the Scandinavian countries share some cultural similarities. Anyways, cool video! Love this channel
Calling Swedish people introverted when Staffan is literally the most extroverted guy out there he literally lives with 50 other people and is a public speaker
Yeddie I can see where Thomas is coming from as a Swede. If you go on the metro train every one is wearing headphones and it’s just quite even in town everyone is wearing headphones lol
I love how Alan was like “Why wouldn’t anybody else do it” like brooo fr. that’s the type of people you need in your life, adventurous and outgoing 🙏🏻💯
@@crypticshadows We're not much better in Sweden. "I suspect there's owls in the moss" "No danger on the roof" "You've planted your last potato" "Better to have a bird in your hand than ten in the forest"
@@gianlucadimarzio5219 Yes it is a talesätt but here in Sweden where there are barley 10 million people it is a bit strange. It's a bit different where there are literally many many cities with more then a million people where there is basically just one city in Sweden that have more then a million people and that city contains almost a fourth of the total population of the country. :p
@@staffantaylor Awesome guy! Glad u got the chance to experience this wonderful country and have a little taste of the "American Dream"! 👍 I hope one day to be able to visit yours as well. It looks beautiful! I am never disappointed by the spirit and overall welcoming, loving nature of most people in this country. No one person or country is perfect, but I think our spirit, determination, appreciation for all we have and kindness towards each other and humanity in general always win at the end of the day. In spite of the media's negative agenda, political BS and a few bad seeds, I am always hopeful and forever proud of this great country and its' people. 😊
How wonderful is the fact that Staffan is now part of the Yes Theory. This makes me think about how some stranger can actually change someone's life forever. I could bet that Staffan deeply has been manifesting for this adventure trip. After I found this meaningful youtube channel, I become more open-minded and motivated to live my life than ever. I already believe that, without knowing it, there's someone around the corner who will change and make your life better, if you are open to it.
RTB 604 It was a joke... because he seemed to love the US so much... r/woosh. And I do believe you, I’m danish myself, so i know for a fact, my fellow Scandinavian :)
After college I bought a one way ticket to Europe. I left by myself. I traveled for 4 months and met my wife. We've been married for 16 years and have two wonderful children. We continue to travel whenever we can. Traveling has shaped my life. These videos remind me of what's important during the short time we spin around the sun. Thanks guys.
Dang man that's amazing! Feel like doing something like that should be on my bucketlist. How do you prepare for a trip that you're going on indefinitely? Do you pack like a normal luggage, minimally like a backpacker or somewhere in between?
Not sure why anyone would turn it down. You're literally gone for what, 3 days? What's so important that you can't give 3 days to live someone elses life?
As a new Yes Theory fan circa 2024, it's crazy to think of the channel without Staffan. Watching this video now after many current videos first, it's still hard to think of the team without Staffan's infectious energy. I'm so glad he had an awesome experience and stayed on! He saeemed natural from the first second. Also, Alex deserves some props for snawering "who would say no to this?!" in the first moments!
The swede in this video was at my school a couple of months ago and did like a big emotional speach... Which left everyone in my school basically very emotional or even crying. It's so cool to see him here😁
I'm From Durban, South Africa. This was by far my favorite YES THEORY episode. Inspiring & Motivational. "You can fail at what you do, but you can never fail at who you are" - Steffan Taylor
First time I've ever come across another Durbanite on RUclips sweet! Grew up there for 22 years but haven't been back since 2012 :S and yeah agreed, best episode so far!
I'm currently stuck in the hospital with a blood infection and not sure I'll make it out, but I just wanted to let you guys know you've helped inspire me and brought joy to my life. Thank you.
Staffan and Alex are both such awesome dudes they are both perfect for this and looks like they both had an awesome time experiencing the other country!
I started watching these guys when I was in my darkest hours. For the first time in over 5 years I'm finally seeing hope for a future and my suicidal thoughts have faded incredibly. I wish there was more people in the world like Yes Theory, maybe then people like me wouldn't exist? As someone who has seen the darker sides of life, I just wanted to thank you guys for everything that you do and for being exactly who you are. You're inspiring so many, like myself, to do more and be more, and I'm so appreciative to have found this channel. Thanks for laughs and happy tears, I look forward to many more. Xoxo
There are two things I tried a few years ago to to try and be a happier person rather than sad or depressed. 1. Smile More. 2. Every time you have a negative thought, replace it with a positive one. The second one was really hard. Took me a few months, almost giving up on the technique several times, and lots of dedication. I came out much happier and still implement it when I am feeling down. Hope this helps and best wishes to a happier future.
@@thejman3489 as someone going through the trial and errors of helping myself i can agree that #2 is the hardest thing one going through a bad time could ever do but it turns out to be one of the most amazing things one could do congrats @thejman and @Sonia edwardo for staying up when life put you down
After person commits suicide he reincarnates in the person with the same problems. You can't ran away from them, only solve them. The bigger problems you have - the more strong person you are deep inside. You already have everything you need to resolve them
I'm sorry. But I could NOT stop SMILING through this entire video. My face hurts, but my heart is full. O know it's not been an easy year for ANYONE - but little snippets like this really changes perspectives. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration 🧡
So this is what a life changing experience is called. It is not a tragedy. It is not combating a disease. Or losing somebody dear to you. It Saying Yes to life and the experiences that you go through.
I can't believe I haven't already seen this upload! It's the first Staffan video... Something about Steffan has always resonated with me as personally inspiring. I've always felt a little different from most people socially. The way he handles everything so bravely has given me motivation to try harder to step out and explore the world and people around me more. I'm so happy you are part of the team now.
Can we just appreciate how pure Staffan is? Also, his speech, so much yes. The fact that he did that in an hour and a half is mindblowing. This man has a large purpose and a large place in this world. He will be back to America soon, just mark my words.

It's not about being rude or shy or introverted, but respecting the space and peace of other people around you. And people may look kinda grumpy because they're usually just lost in their own thoughts surrounded by strangers.

This sounds like my type of people perhaps.
covid is not a thing.
@@AJ-ht3kf I love it, no one bothers anyone else with pointless stuff, so you know something is definitely wrong if a stranger comes to talk to you 😂
But also the massive extrovert in me would want that small talk culture to land here aswell >:C

“I said yes yesterday to go on this trip”

Who else remembers when most of Yes Theory's comments were "these guys deserve a million subscribers!" Look at them now :)
been here since 40k, when they did snapchat stories and vertical videos. it's been so much fun.
Sameee
They deserve even more then they already have
but content is going down
Ayy been here since 70k they
I cheered when Alex said he'd do it and I don't even know him. His personality and that of his friends are just intoxicating! We need more people like this and it's honestly why I love all of Yes Theory's videos
Same!
I think they are not toxic people. They were were very nice

I’m so happy Yes Theory exists. This channel makes me have hope in humanity
Same. :))
Don't go to twitter....
Then you'll keep that hope alive
It's hilarious how much Steffan tells random people in the US that he's from Sweden. This vid just made me smile so much, keep up the good work guys!!!

Funny to watch this, knowing Staffan is now part of the group
Calling Swedish people introverted when Staffan is literally the most extroverted guy out there he literally lives with 50 other people and is a public speaker
But he's just one person tho, he does not represent every swedish citizen
asd asd never said he did but ok

Yes, it’s almost like “can you have too much bro hugs, group hugs, high fives, awkward backward handshakes and powerclaps?”
Glad it’s over
Yah!...my thinking the same here! This actually WAS pre-Covid?? still wondering 🤔

Its Stefan

This is how many times Staffan said “America!”
AMERICAAAAA!

@@staffantaylor Awesome guy! Glad u got the chance to experience this wonderful country and have a little taste of the "American Dream"! 👍 I hope one day to be able to visit yours as well. It looks beautiful! I am never disappointed by the spirit and overall welcoming, loving nature of most people in this country. No one person or country is perfect, but I think our spirit, determination, appreciation for all we have and kindness towards each other and humanity in general always win at the end of the day. In spite of the media's negative agenda, political BS and a few bad seeds, I am always hopeful and forever proud of this great country and its' people. 😊

You’re always only one decision away from a completely different life …has never been more true than with Staffan.
So true. Looking back it's amazing now that he is part of the Yes theory.
"i said yes yesterday to go on this trip"
"you were drunk?"
😂😂😂 canned myself
@Stocker is Chinese No it is what they said in the video dude 😂😂
Loved it. Canned myself as well😂😂😂🇿🇦
@Stocker is Chinese No man no worries!! 😂
Steffan’s speech made me cry. And my daughter was writing a speech for speech class and the motivation he gave helped fuel her thoughts. He is good.
You were there?
thats awesome!
I cried too
"I only said yes to this trip yesterday" "were you drunk" i'm dying 😂😂😂
It got me too lmao
I searched for this Comment... And I made it 😂😂
How wonderful is the fact that Staffan is now part of the Yes Theory. This makes me think about how some stranger can actually change someone's life forever. I could bet that Staffan deeply has been manifesting for this adventure trip.
After I found this meaningful youtube channel, I become more open-minded and motivated to live my life than ever. I already believe that, without knowing it, there's someone around the corner who will change and make your life better, if you are open to it.
“you can fail at what you do but not at who you are” - i think i really needed to hear that
I don't think Steffan ever boarded that plane back to Sweden. AMERICAAA
Maby if he gets children he would easily fly back, free university and you get paid to go the the lessons on joke , if you do not belive me look it up
RTB 604 It was a joke... because he seemed to love the US so much... r/woosh. And I do believe you, I’m danish myself, so i know for a fact, my fellow Scandinavian :)
he moved to US!!!

absolutely nobody:
swedish guy: *AMEEEERICAAAAAAAAAA*
yes
His name is Steffan
Every time he says “AMERICA!” I am just filled with joy
I love how Staffan yells "AMERICAAAA" every so often
The enthusiasm and excitement in Steffan is so inspiring. You can tell he truly enjoyed his time here in America
After college I bought a one way ticket to Europe. I left by myself. I traveled for 4 months and met my wife. We've been married for 16 years and have two wonderful children. We continue to travel whenever we can. Traveling has shaped my life. These videos remind me of what's important during the short time we spin around the sun. Thanks guys.
Damn that is nice
Inspiration!! How did you meet your wife?
Bro....u are amazing!!!
Amazing!! How did you fund your travels?
Dang man that's amazing! Feel like doing something like that should be on my bucketlist. How do you prepare for a trip that you're going on indefinitely? Do you pack like a normal luggage, minimally like a backpacker or somewhere in between?
“I’m calling my dreams! Hello is this my dreams? Yes I’m coming.”
never did he knew he was actually coming to his dreams and joined yes fam now.. amazing how life works
without fail, i always feel like im not doing enough with my life after watching a yes thoery video
Ikr, that's why we need to stay positive and share some love to people !
This is so true...
Wow. Very accurate
Me2
Yes theory videos have a powerful influence on people
This Staffan guy seems really cool, it would be nice if you brought him on the crew for more videos or something...
And he did
Alex: the only person to question the motives “why won’t anybody else do it”
yes he had a great attitude!!
Not sure why anyone would turn it down. You're literally gone for what, 3 days? What's so important that you can't give 3 days to live someone elses life?
They couldn't have met a better person for this. Stefan is such a positive lovely guy. Glad he got this opportunity
Imagine someone who said no to this then seeing this video.
I would hate myself
Saucy Asian I am a sociopath... this video is one of the scariest thing ever. And i wouldn’t even think before I said no._. To spooky for me
“You can fail at what you do. You can’t fail at who you are.” Woah. Those words are profound.
Swedish Guy : Amerricaaa
American Guy : you're kidding
Literally the whole video
To be fair, being told you're going to give a minutes after landing would make everyone besides like Steffan haha freak out
"I said yes yesterday to go on this trip"
"Really? You were drunk?"
Staffan: No
Alex: Yes
Literally what Thomas said. XD
If someone has to swap life with me.. He'll just have to sit on my bed watching RUclips all day... Sounds fun 😂
Nirmala Khade me too lmao
Lmao
Same but u will have 2 play games 2
That's meee 😭😭 noo i want a better life im 20 yo from Saudi Arabia middle east
Me too
As a new Yes Theory fan circa 2024, it's crazy to think of the channel without Staffan. Watching this video now after many current videos first, it's still hard to think of the team without Staffan's infectious energy. I'm so glad he had an awesome experience and stayed on! He saeemed natural from the first second.
Also, Alex deserves some props for snawering "who would say no to this?!" in the first moments!
The swede in this video was at my school a couple of months ago and did like a big emotional speach... Which left everyone in my school basically very emotional or even crying. It's so cool to see him here😁
@I hate youtube I love RUclips What??? Where you at my school? No you where not. He was there and I do not really care what you think
Busan Jikook that’s so rad.
what was the speech about?
@@nevereverstopsinging it was about believing in yourself and having dreams and staying positive

"You can fail at what you do, but you can never fail at who you are" - Steffan Taylor
First time I've ever come across another Durbanite on RUclips sweet! Grew up there for 22 years but haven't been back since 2012 :S and yeah agreed, best episode so far!
I totally AGREE!!! So inspiring and made me have many goosebumps!
Damm I’m also South African awe 😂
Watching this in August 2024 and seeing how Staffan is part of the fam now makes me so happy !! Sending love from Cornwall, UK :) xx
Dude swear if these guys came up and said “so.." I’d be hopin in a flight before they even finished lmao

SAME :))
Lifetime experience man
i'd just say yes as soon as i saw them haha
I'd refuse.
You guys integrated the Google pixel sponsorship naturally and flawlessly
i thought the same thing. sponsorship at its finest.
They probably got paid a shit ton too. So happy for them
I'm currently stuck in the hospital with a blood infection and not sure I'll make it out, but I just wanted to let you guys know you've helped inspire me and brought joy to my life. Thank you.

I hope everything is okay, stay strong!
good luck
you ARE getting out buddy! let's do ittttt
Everything will be alright brother. Don't lose hope.
Staffan and Alex are both such awesome dudes they are both perfect for this and looks like they both had an awesome time experiencing the other country!
I started watching these guys when I was in my darkest hours. For the first time in over 5 years I'm finally seeing hope for a future and my suicidal thoughts have faded incredibly. I wish there was more people in the world like Yes Theory, maybe then people like me wouldn't exist? As someone who has seen the darker sides of life, I just wanted to thank you guys for everything that you do and for being exactly who you are. You're inspiring so many, like myself, to do more and be more, and I'm so appreciative to have found this channel. Thanks for laughs and happy tears, I look forward to many more. Xoxo
There are two things I tried a few years ago to to try and be a happier person rather than sad or depressed.
1. Smile More.
2. Every time you have a negative thought, replace it with a positive one.
The second one was really hard. Took me a few months, almost giving up on the technique several times, and lots of dedication. I came out much happier and still implement it when I am feeling down. Hope this helps and best wishes to a happier future.

Your words touched my heart. Glad that you are better now :) Yes Theory has been my home for the last 2 years and they saved my life too.
After person commits suicide he reincarnates in the person with the same problems.
You can't ran away from them, only solve them. The bigger problems you have - the more strong person you are deep inside. You already have everything you need to resolve them
your words touch my heart dude， good that you are better now
I'm sorry. But I could NOT stop SMILING through this entire video. My face hurts, but my heart is full. O know it's not been an easy year for ANYONE - but little snippets like this really changes perspectives. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration 🧡
It seems like Staffan waited for this moment his whole life! This was awesome!
“We’re going to Stockholm to take a guys life”
Alex: *Say sike right now*
XDDDDDDD
😂😂
HAHAHAHAHA
The Sweden guy was so excited and emotional he jus touched my weak Nerve n i end up crying..!❤😭
So this is what a life changing experience is called. It is not a tragedy. It is not combating a disease. Or losing somebody dear to you. It Saying Yes to life and the experiences that you go through.
No one:
Literally no one:
Staffan: AMERICAAAAA!!!!!
fuckk yeeah
It's really hilarious 😂
I love that dude loll
Scandinavian men are the nicest

I can't believe I haven't already seen this upload! It's the first Staffan video... Something about Steffan has always resonated with me as personally inspiring. I've always felt a little different from most people socially. The way he handles everything so bravely has given me motivation to try harder to step out and explore the world and people around me more. I'm so happy you are part of the team now.
I’m Swedish and I found this so amazing, I literally COULDN’T get the smile on my face to go away even if I tried. This is actually beautiful to see!
Hampus Berg same
Do you see people like Stefan often? Im American btw
@@izzywoods794 oddball for sure lol
The sweetest part of every episode to me is how affectionate the boys are with one another. Hugging always, strangers or not, it's all love.
So great revisiting this episode after Steffan joined the team!
Can we just appreciate how pure Staffan is? Also, his speech, so much yes. The fact that he did that in an hour and a half is mindblowing. This man has a large purpose and a large place in this world. He will be back to America soon, just mark my words.
