Tyler! Thanks so much for making this. So glad this video popped up in my recommendations. Love the thumbnail haha. I think in addition to what you expressed (very well btw), I was also facing a few other challenges... adjusting to life as a new dad, being bored of the content I was making, and feeling trapped by payroll (as of last year I had 4 full-time employees). I haven't gotten to all of that in my newsletter yet but I kind of turned my creator business into a jail cell (albeit a fancy one with bougie coffee and a memory foam mattress). Once I stepped back and became a solo creator again, it gave me space to find myself... and a HUGE part of that was finding the joy in creating again. It was never about views or money or labels. It was always about the love of making videos, whether for one person or one million. Thanks for sharing YOUR vulnerability! Looking forward to seeing more from you :)
Matt! Wow. I wasn't sure you'd ever see this, let alone take time to leave such a thoughtful comment. Your feedback and added insight mean so much to me - and I'm grateful you appreciated my point of view. It felt a little awkward to publicly comment on someone else's life, but your openness really moved me and hopefully this video impacts others as well. I can't tell you how much your encouragement means at the moment. I stubbornly wish I didn't need such encouragement, but at this stage it sincerely helps. I've actually been a part of your Master RUclips course/community since you first launched it. I simply failed to commit in a serious enough manner to bring much to fruition. That said, I'm entering a new chapter now - one that is focused on the expression of my Authenticity - and I know RUclips will play a big role in that. So, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, give your gifts, and inspire others to create. Looking forward to the Version 2.0 of the course. Cheers.
I always wondered if Matt wanted to wear a colorful Tee, or maybe load his house with comfort, or maybe go party, but his image became his cage. The 24 hr content creation to sustain that minimalistic grey t-shirt, symbol of productivity kind of image got to him, i guess.
I'm excited to see Matt's eventual return here on YT. I have a feeling it'll be more colorful - it's fun to watch people evolve into new chapters of life. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Great video, been grappling with these things myself, and in conversation with practically every other creator I spend time with, we're all facing the same dilemmas :)
This is some great perspective. I also wanted to throw out there the fact he has a kid now, which changes everything for anyone. I’m sure he’s doing a lot of self-reflecting of his own values now having to ask himself what values do I want to spread to my kids? My other thing is (as a fellow Matt Stan) I was honestly just about to start losing interest in his work because it wasn’t resonating with me in the same way it once did. But after reading his emails and finding that we’re both on journeys of deconstructing minimalism’s role in our lives and pushing ourselves to discover new parts of ourselves, I’ve never been more excited for his future content. He’s growing and developing with his audience. I can’t stand watching channels that just talk at you with no sense of being a human or telling a story, which are most major self-development bros on this platform. If Matt returns to making films full time, this new approach and angle will be the best thing he could possibly do for his channel and himself and I couldn’t be more excited for it.
Appreciate the thoughtful comment, I couldn't agree more. This morning, Matt posted a video on his secondary channel with a Studio tour... exciting stuff ahead, no doubt.
Can I give my opinion? I think when he moved out of the country. I know how hard it is leaving states from your home. Leaving the country is a whole nother thing. Always loved the Australian pillow that was on his couch for years. When he moved I was actually shocked. So idk
damm man, I recall Matt Davella, Elliot Hulse, Scooby, not in the same leauge though, but definitely some good old RUclipsrs man, when short form content did not take over the world.
Sounds like an existential crisis. When we suffer from anxiety and depression we tend to withdrawal. The irony is the only way out is thru. Get busy doing what you do no matter what and time will bring you thru.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. Only way out is thru" resonates with my previous experiences as well. Wishing Matt the best and I have a feeling we'll see him back again soon.
Dude, this was super helpful. I enjoyed doing the breathing exercise and putting down my plans for a minute. Now I'm very relaxed and about to make a grilled cheese, so I'm in a great mood. :) Thank you for taking the time to put together such a thoughtful video.
@@tylerjkeenan I'm eating it right now (delicious) & watching/listening to your "RUclips is ruining my life" video. Love that quote from the Bhagavad Gita! hope you're having a great day
A really thoughtful video and your delivery of the ending (the personal reflection) was great. I like Matt so I was initially a little concerned when I saw the title as to what the content of this video would be. However, I think the commentary was handled in beautiful and supportive way; it was the reflection and your own willingness to be vulnerable that contributed to this. Best of luck with your own RUclips journey 😊
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS, especially the ending man, gave me such a clarity about my present situation and waht i can do about it, thanks from the bottom of my heart, please continue making these videos.
Sincerely appreciate this comment and the encouragement! Very grateful my articulation and connection between ideas resonated with you and had an impact.
as a RUclips consumer, I've realized everyone starts small and says they don't want to grow big and make videos because they love making videos to "inspire people" but ultimately, every creator, whether they admit it or not (they are all lying) want to be Mr. Beast big, but I cannot stand the overproduced Mr. Beast kind of content. I think the Achilles Heel of RUclips is the Subscriber Count, view count, etc. Remove those and people will watch less but watch with more of a sacred intent.
Hi there! Sure, if you email me at tylerjkeenan@gmail.com I can forward you Matt's recent emails. You can sign up for his newsletter here: www.mattdavella.com
I mean it certainly doesn't sound sexy but the way to improve your mental health is to just directly work on your mental health. Just like how if you want to lose weight or gain muscle you do the things that are going to directly lead to getting those results. Our mental well being is much more akin to physical health than it is to otherwise arbitrary material or social conditions. There is a very normal distribution of depression across all socioeconomic standings in most relatively wealthy countries meaning what you achieve, how much you make, what your job is, how much power you have, what your social media account is like just doesn't have nearly as much effect to our mental well being as we tend to think it does. Instead doing the things a therapist might tell you to do like regular exercise and sleep, stress management, some kind of therapy strategy like CBT, ACT, IPT, mindfulness, meaningful social connection, etc. On the surface its very very easy just like losing weight might be very easy on the surface however actually doing it consistently is where the struggle comes in. But regardless the message needs to get out. Do the things that are going to actually get you what you want.
@tylerkeenan Definitely a fan of Matt’s💙but you’ve got your own vibe and I’m here for it! I have a feeling I’m here at the beginning of something very cool. Loved this!🫶🏻 xoCher

@@tylerjkeenanGood news the comeback is already here and it’s very much colorful
Parenthood. It's a life changer. Maybe part of Matt's change?

This is outstanding, Tyler. I love the way you’ve explored this topic.
Thanks so much for taking the time, Peter! Your comment means a lot.
I’m a big Matt fan. Sad to see he’s in this rough spot. You did a good job talking about this!
Thanks for the comment!
one of the best video i have seen in recent time . very surprising to see so less subscribers.
This means a lot, thanks for the comment!

Lydi! Thanks so much for the comment. :)
He updated in Bonus D'Avella
It's nice to see a video with a bit slower pace and space for reflection. Fingers crossed for you😊
Thanks so much for the comment. I appreciate the positive energy. :) Cheers!
Very interesting video 🥺

nice one bro!
@@safwanahmedshimanto Appreciate you!
Dude just had a baby. Its very common and he was obviously vulnerable to this type of suffering Leave him be.
I didn't get the sense he's very empathic to Matt at this point in his life. See above that Matt commented on this video.
I didn't know who Matt is, but I really enjoyed this video. Your narration was awesome 👌 👏 ❤
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment. 🙏🏻 glad you enjoyed!
Great content Tyler!
Thanks so much for watching!
Great video brother
I appreciate you, thanks for commenting.
Hope he will be back YT better than before
I have a feeling that'll be the case! :)
Loved this! Subscribed : )
Appreciate you! Thanks for tuning in.

Appreciate you watching, man!
When did this become your life
hi there, not totally sure what you're asking. If you can clarify the question, perhaps I can provide some insight.
love the way you're sharing subtle yet deep contemplative insight in a practical way!
This comment means a lot. Thank you!
