Oh my god, is that who I think it is?

Looking so cute and scrumptious?

It's been so long since we last caught up!

I mean over a year since New York City!

Glad you're here in sunny San Francisco and we can catch up again.

Life at 28 before I turn 29 in two months.

How has the Bay been treating you?

Honestly, I moved here end of last year without a lot of expectations

but it has been absolutely stunning beautiful and I can't wait to show you guys around today.

Is it scary getting closer to 30?

I'm 22 and scared haha.

Well you shouldn't be scared you're quite a far ways away from 30

but personally I think it's kind of exciting like I'm looking

forward to it I feel like every age is a new chapter.

The intention I have in my mind for what my 30s will look like is a lot more

calm and stable more grounded less bopping around

and i can see being more also family oriented health oriented

career-wise i feel like having the experience from my 20s like building up courage

and clarity i feel like i could execute bigger

and better things especially seeing friends who are like a year

older than me have a toddler raise a human child i'm just like wow that's so crazy.

I feel like once you can do that,

the most insane human feat possible,

the world is your oyster.

You can do anything.

It's really pickled.

If you experience changes to your body,

i.e. gray hair, how are you feeling about it?

Yeah, I feel like the past year I've been really noticing changes in my body.

I have one white hair that I refuse to pluck.

The thing with these

new additions it feels like a really good reminder to take better care of my body

because I feel like in my 20s

or just younger I think I took a lot of L's pulling all-nighters in university

and like early YouTube career that I look back on

and I'm like that really didn't need to happen

and I think the more you push your body you will feel the effects later down the line

so I'd rather have this wake-up call now

because we cannot control the fact that we are aging

but we can try to influence the speed in which we are aging.

I would say my intention for this year is building more resilience in my creative practice slash career.

Focusing on just showing up and creating rather than worrying,

being a perfectionist, fixated on the outcome,

the performance, or any negative feedback from other people

that is gone goodbye okay this year's intention being brave and showing up consistently no matter the outcome yeah

this is a really funny question what do you tubers do

if not posting on youtube how do your days look like the reality is i feel like making videos

so much of your time is actually editing and posting is like the most brief moment in time.

If it's longer and there's scripting involved,

like my 30 days of sailing video,

that took me three months or two to three months to edit.

I think a lot of other times actually doing emails like admin,

negotiating brand deals, reviewing contracts.

Some creators have managers so they'll just like give 20% of their income to their manager to help them do that.

I think my dream job would be to open a physical space,

something really calming and inviting like this one.

I would really want to serve very nutritious,

wholesome food like freshly made soy milk with jujubi dates and like black sesame seeds,

pumpkin millet congee, very warming foods that can be really healing to the community

and also be plant-based for the animals I don't know

if I would label myself as a minimalist I think I'm someone

that I don't like owning too much stuff I don't like clutter I like to have essentials

while also pieces and items that I really enjoy nowadays

when I do buy things I really try to focus on finding brands that focus on quality over quantity,

timeless designs over trends, and I've actually been in the market for a pair of jeans for a really long time.

I've been wearing my friend's hand-me-downs,

so this is the first pair of jeans I've picked up in the past six years.

They are the Dark Indigo 70s Cut from Cezanne.

These are God-certified organic cotton.

I also really like they're wide leg jeans as well for more slouchy fit but I went with this cut.

I think it hugs the waist perfectly.

I got like a slightly looser fit in the 38 and they are very long.

I think I want to keep them long so I can either cuff them or wear them slouchy.

They also have a lot of great basic tees.

Simple cuts but really cute details so you can wear them on any occasion.

Yeah I just love how versatile and timeless everything is.

If you're looking for wardrobe staples that you can wear for a lifetime.

Go check them out.

I will link all of my favorite pieces from them down below.

This spot is so nice.

Une petite clementine asks, do you have any tips on having a good relationship to money?

I'm struggling as a 21 year old.

Yes I do.

I'm actually so glad you asked because this has been a huge focus in my life the past maybe two years.

Most people don't realize

that we like in love have attachment styles we also have attachment styles to money

that is affected by our childhood the society community we grow up in

and just this system that we live in at large i think one of the first things

that you can do is definitely taking notes of your habits

and your behaviors around money to notice patterns two is i actually asked my friend who is a therapist

to help me create a series of digital workshops centered around

healing your relationship with money it's called rooted in ease

and it ties in her practice of art therapy as well

so there are eight different workshops

that have journaling prompts guided meditations an art making exercise

if you are interested i asked her if we could share

or give away like the first workshop in the series for free

so that'll be up on the website you can go check it out it is about attachment style

this is the only thing i can do

100

welcome to one of my favorite parts of the city the panhandle exercise park

101

when i notice myself feeling anxious or rushed in my body the first thing i do is to

102

make myself take some deep breaths and then i repeat to myself this is not an emergency

103

i feel like a lot of times our body is stuck in this cycle of urgency especially

104

if we spend a lot of time on screens

105

and consuming very stimulating things so i think it's nice to remind yourself

106

that there's enough time for everything focusing on one task at a time really helps

107

and just let myself know like which project is the priority so I'm not overwhelmed with a million things.

108

Oh my god.

109

Oh that was really hard.

110

I think this one's the heaviest one.

111

How do you deal with unexpected failure in life?

112

One thing I saw that I really liked is to say I can't wait to see why this didn't work out.

113

I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and

114

that there's always like this better plan for you so if something didn't work out there's something better in store for you.

115

A book I recently read

116

that really helped to rewire my brain is called The Courage to Be Dislight

117

because I think sharing your life on the internet can be I don't know

118

if intense is the right word

119

but it's definitely been the thing that's like challenged my sense

120

of self the most this book really helped me to not take on the judgment of

121

and opinions of other people too much it also makes you realize

122

that like a lot of your fears don't actually have to do with the tasks itself

123

but more in how you'll be perceived by others so i think

124

that really helps me with resistance in terms of editing

125

or just certain things in my life so highly recommend the courage to be disliked

126

what is bringing you comfort these days i've brought you here

127

to my comfort place the park being in nature makes me feel very grounded very connected

128

when the world feels really intense and one of the things

129

that has been making me really excited is foraging

130

and like learning to identify plants

131

so i've brought you here to this patch of miner's lettuce

132

because i've recently learned that they actually taste like butter lettuce nice

133

and crunchy very neutral flavor very hydrating they like to grow

134

in the shade i think it's empowering to know what grows around you having this name

135

and connection with it it makes you feel like you know

136

the earth provides food all around me this whole patch

137

that no one even planted it just popped up and

138

that just makes me feel so safe and held by mother earth

139

so i highly recommend there's also some poisonous hemlock here apparently

140

that's like a really popular poison in the middle ages there's also some yarrow growing here

141

which is actually known to be very effective in stopping bleeding

142

and wounds so you can put it in your mouth kind of chew it into a paste

143

and apply it to wherever you're bleeding say you're on a hike

144

or something it actually will stop bleeding super mediate oh and there's some sour grass tastes like sour jelly beans

145

so cool hi you're looking awfully handsome i don't think i've grown up aspiring

146

or like really thinking that much about being a mom

147

but i feel like seeing some of my friends have kids

148

and just seeing how differently they're raising them has honestly been

149

like really inspiring personally i I would be very open to having kids.

150

I feel like it would be

151

so cool to share all the things I love about this world with them

152

and just like help support them and mentor them as they become their own human, right?

153

Yeah, yeah.

154

Oh, thank you.

155

Wow, thank you so much, Chokun.

156

Any plans or thoughts on marriage?

157

I have to say that it's been something that I've been talking about

158

that definitely has been in the planning or discussion and thinking phase.

159

It's pretty exciting, also nerve wracking at the same time because you know,

160

I've never done it before.

161

So stay tuned and we'll see how it goes.

162

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

163

I really like the flower trees here.

164

You can wear them.

165

What do you do when times feel hopeless?

166

Yeah, that's a really great question.

167

It definitely, especially these days, does not feel easy.

168

A lot of things feel uncertain and hopeless or pointless.

169

But one book that I came across that really helped me is Read This When Things Fall Apart.

170

This book has a lot of different letters from different writers and activists.

171

When I found this in the bookstore,

172

I opened to read this if you're panicking about collapse and this letter,

173

even though it's only five pages,

174

really helped give me a lot of solace.

175

He makes one point that I think is really valid.

176

In the law of physics, there is entropy.

177

Everything falls apart and that is a given.

178

None of this lasts forever and we know that.

179

We don't look at a child and ask, what's the point?

180

Why educate them?

181

Why feed them?

182

They are just going to die someday.

183

That scenario is ridiculous and we routinely invest in things that will not last forever.

184

So if none of this is permanent, what is the point?

185

Through studying the ball of civilizations,

186

he talks about how collapse can span generations,

187

but those people and those communities are what mattered.

188

They created meaningful lives during a larger disaster,

189

and even in the midst of societal collapse,

190

those needs remain anything we do to improve our situation now can be used to create a new reality

191

or improve upon the one in

192

which we find ourselves we can't start ignoring the present

193

because an image of the future that seems hopeless for

194

that vision is undoubtedly simplistic and one-dimensional compared to the future in

195

which we will live i think even for me making videos sometimes feels very silly

196

and this letter talking about the importance of everything

197

that we do you your actions investing in your community sends a message and can change the future.

198

By providing an example of someone who still cares,

199

who still works, you never know who you might inspire or what change you might help bring about.

200

Be that example.

201

Keep being that example.

202

Sincerely, Chris Begley.

203

I'm going to be fine.

204

please give me advice on long distance relationships i don't know

205

if i'm a good person to ask about long distance relationships

206

because i feel like it doesn't bother me as much as other people

207

or even my partner i think my best advice would be to just focus on your own life,

208

your own hobbies, joys, friends.

209

I think love can show up in so many different ways.

210

I feel like so many of my soulmates are my friends

211

and definitely having an end goal in mind and like knowing that you will live in the same city is really important.

212

But in the meantime, I do like to ask my partner

213

before we're going to be apart for a few months to write me a letter

214

that I can take with me and read when I miss him and that really helps me a lot.

215

That's a full dip.

216

Favorite dates with your partner?

217

I would say honestly, for me, anything learning or outdoors.

218

Since we came to SF,

219

we did like a kelp foraging workshop, which was so fun.

220

Plant identification, herbalism workshops.

221

I kind of just make him go to things they want to do, lol.

222

And then tomorrow, this other creator in the Bay Area reached out

223

and I saw that her and her boyfriend do swing dancing

224

so we're actually gonna go to Golden Gate Park and do swing dancing with them.

225

We've never done it before but I think that'll be really fun.

226

Come here.

227

Hello.

228

Hi.

229

Hi.

230

What are your favorite kind of dates to go on together?

231

When we go on hikes like in the park or when we go on a road trip?

232

Yeah.

233

Grab food.

234

Vegan food.

235

Yeah, vegan food.

236

We play backgammon together before bed.

237

Yeah, we play a lot of backgammon.

238

She's destroyed me seven games in a row at this point.

239

We have a dried mango pit that we use as like our trophy

240

and that mango pit goes on like either one of our bedside tables

241

when we win and it's been on my bedside table for pretty long time.

242

Yeah, I've kind of given up.

243

Thanks for participating.

244

He keeps coming back with his toy.

245

He's obsessed.
