Background
Five years ag0, a group of early 20 year old friends named Thomas Brag, Matt Dajer, and Ammar Kandil decided to start a youtube channel. The main focus of this channel was to go out of their comfort zones, and start saying “yes” to every opportunity that they were given. This idea of saying yes to uncomfortable things soon grew into one of the most successful youtube channels today.
Success Today
Today, the group has just under 6 million subscribers on youtube. Their subscriber count grew substantially over the last five years as fans began to like the idea of doing uncomfortable things in life. Yes Theory has produced videos of travelling to dangerous countries throughout the world and learning their culture, inviting random strangers on weekend retreats, etc. This channel has opened the eyes of millions of people to understand the experiences that can come from doing things that put you out of your comfort zone.
Innovation
Aside from Youtube, Yes Theory began their own clothing line that fans can purchase from them. Their main tagline of the clothing brand is “seek discomfort.” The passion for memorable experiences drives Yes Theory to produce content and clothing that their fans will love. In addition, Yes Theory was able to maintain their success throughout the Covid 19 Pandemic. Although they weren’t able to travel around the world and make videos, they used their platform to make videos helping people out who were struggling during the pandemic. One of their videos involved helping a stranger get his business back up and running after having to close due to Covid 19 restrictions. This innovation is what sets Yes Theory apart from others. In times of trouble, they found a way to capitalize on the situation. This mindset can inspire many young individuals who strive to begin their own entrepreneurship journey.
These guys are great. It is very hard, and awkward to say the least, to do things out of your comfort zone. It helps show that sometimes going outside of what keeps you grounded and comfortable, could be very beneficial, and life changing. It helps ever day people examine the change, and see things that are not in their comfort zone; another positive is it shows how they too can get acclimated to getting outside of their comfort zone.
I’ve never seen these YouTubers before but they have content that many people can relate to. The way they turned a weakness into a motivational movement is awesome. These YouTubers have hearts of innovated entrepreneurs.
Great post! I’ve always enjoyed watch Yes Theory’s videos since when I first discovered them in 2018. Their videos always have such a positive message, and I admit I’ve felt inspired to go out an do something spontaneous because of it. The Yes Theory merch and brand are also a strong point for the channel. The designs of their clothes are fantastic and don’t seem like other YouTuber’s merch in comparison. I also love how their message doesn’t need to be tied to them particularly in order to have an impact.
