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

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!
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.
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!!!
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 :)
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.
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 !!
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 ".

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
FUN FACT: I actually ran into the guys in Austin while they were looking for people to go to Sweden! I was walking from my office to grab lunch! My boss said I couldn’t take the time off from work. Just seeing the YT videos all these years, meeting them, and having to turn down a badass opportunity like this inspired me to quit my job because it wasn’t conducive to living the life I wanted to live. Proud to say, almost a year later, that I am living my dream. Because of you guys, YesTheory, my life changed. Even though I didn’t get to go on the trip, I was directly impacted by yall and this video idea. ❤️
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.
Staffan is so freaking pure, I love how he just can't help but tell everyone how happy and grateful he is to be in America, he's too pure for this world
yeah which I find kind of strange as there's nothing you can't achieve in Sweden (or other Western European countries) that you can in the US. I mean sure it's nice to visit. But apart from that...
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!

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!
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.
Steffon is a legit legend for this. Went from looking like Steve Jobs to somehow aging like Benjamin Button and not being stuffy dressed. Looks younger and more happy now than 5 years ago!
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!!!
JaceBoss I’m swedish and I honestly must say that we are pretty introvert, but I think that we are pretty spontanious and do crazy things without thinking! 👍
I'm battling cancer since three years and I am currently having my last and longest chemo which requires me to stay in hospital in a protected room for three weeks. It did not take long until I was bored out of my mind, but fortunately I found your channel in my recommendations and literally binge watched your videos for the past 2 weeks. I gotta say that I have never seen such an inspiring channel with so many amazing ideas and I actually cannot wait to get out of here and do similiar stuff. Your videos have actually been such a great help during this frustrating, boring ass time and I cannot thank you enough. I'm looking forward to watching you seeking discomfort for the rest of my life !
dude i am so happy staffan said YES back when i got asked for the challenge.... i saw so many videos of you guys with staffan before i watched this one. so it feels so amazing to see how he was in his very first videos and him being the stranger. This man is so open and feels like hes a long time friend even in this video. i think you couldnt get anybody better! staffan is so perfect for this team and makes every video so so so lovely. Staffan you are great!
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.!
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 🙏🏻💯
For real! I always think about that it’s crazy. Any time they do something they have connections nearby to help make each trip amazing for their volunteers.
I always come back to this video for Staffan's speech at 22:28. It is so powerful as you can feel him finding his soulmates and the weight of the world is gone. Truly makes me so happy for him.
i didn't realize it until the end of the video but i was smiling for 20 mins straight.. there's so much positivity and good vibes radiating out of this video.. it's crazy.
@@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
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
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
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
@@Darikiko 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 ❤
Here I am coming back years later after I saw Staffan was the host of the movie premier. And here he was just a passerby in the street and suddenly he became a huge part of this channel. We all love Staffan and it's curious but awesome how can one become such an important part of someone else's life in an instant.
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.
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.
Person: I’m an accountant for the Bank of America Person: I work as a fireman Stephan: I’m a PROFESSIONAL DREAMER love you Stephan keep spreading positivity
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 :)
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
Staffan is a really cool guy. Befriended him when we were taking our driving lessons at the same place. Nice to see him getting this experience, he deserves it!
Staffan is a diamond and I’m so glad you found him. I watched this video when it was first released and cried happy tears over his experience and connection with the YT boys and now watching it back again knowing that a true friendship was made 😭❤ His charismatic energy is something we get to see more of now and I’m so happy. He really said yes to his entire future and that’s so inspiring!
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?
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?
I get surprised when people are still excited to come/be here as foreigners. 👀😅😅. I was in Europe this summer and every country I went to someone brought up politics and basically crapped on the US.... Stefan is truly a positive guy
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!
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.
@@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. 😊
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 UA-cam sweet! Grew up there for 22 years but haven't been back since 2012 :S and yeah agreed, best episode so far!
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!

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.
*No i dont think i will.* Jk
Randomly ending up at a kräftskiva with allsång must be so incredibly awkward as an American, big props to Alex.
“I said yes yesterday to go on this trip”
“Really?!”...........”you were drunk?”
Stefan should have said "No, I'm a professional dreamer" hahaha
Ruslan Kruglov It’s what we swedes always ask if people do things out of the ordinary😂
Steffon is a legit legend for this. Went from looking like Steve Jobs to somehow aging like Benjamin Button and not being stuffy dressed. Looks younger and more happy now than 5 years ago!
“you can fail at what you do but not at who you are” - i think i really needed to hear that
No one:
Literally no one:
Steffan: AMERICA!!
Diego Afane no … literally everyone except Americans: AMERICAAA
2k Bambusleitung that’s so true everyone besides America sees the beauty of the country and all the positives
i love it though, its so wholesome

@@ArchieStiglitz nah he is in love with the kidnapper
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!!!
Same
Thomas: “Swedish people are the most introverted people ever. They’ll never say yes!”
Swedish Steve Jobs: “Hold my beer...”
JaceBoss I’m swedish and I honestly must say that we are pretty introvert, but I think that we are pretty spontanious and do crazy things without thinking! 👍
the FIRST person he asked lol
pijafinocchio I honestly still can’t believe that😂😂
GB bot Yeah from every Swedish person I’ve met and seen y’all do some fun freakin’ stuff!!
I love how Staffan yells "AMERICAAAA" every so often
I'm battling cancer since three years and I am currently having my last and longest chemo which requires me to stay in hospital in a protected room for three weeks. It did not take long until I was bored out of my mind, but fortunately I found your channel in my recommendations and literally binge watched your videos for the past 2 weeks. I gotta say that I have never seen such an inspiring channel with so many amazing ideas and I actually cannot wait to get out of here and do similiar stuff.
Your videos have actually been such a great help during this frustrating, boring ass time and I cannot thank you enough. I'm looking forward to watching you seeking discomfort for the rest of my life !
good luck!!
Best of luck to you !
Stay strong!
Where is your chemo being held?
you got this you will win the fight we believe in you!
dude i am so happy staffan said YES back when i got asked for the challenge....
i saw so many videos of you guys with staffan before i watched this one.
so it feels so amazing to see how he was in his very first videos and him being the stranger.
This man is so open and feels like hes a long time friend even in this video.
i think you couldnt get anybody better! staffan is so perfect for this team and makes every video so so so lovely.
Staffan you are great!
Am I the only one who feels so many emotions everytime I watch Yes Theory's video?
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.!
Nope, they're chicken soup for the soul
yes
Every time.
I'm disabled. I miss being this mobile, and these always make me feel alive, and good about my fellow humans.
Davide Padillo no dude their videos are heartwarming
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 🙏🏻💯
Karlos perez yesss!!! I was thinking the same !! Let’s take risks let’s live life !!!!!
Alex*
Imagine how many contacts these guys have on their phones
For real! I always think about that it’s crazy. Any time they do something they have connections nearby to help make each trip amazing for their volunteers.
I always come back to this video for Staffan's speech at 22:28. It is so powerful as you can feel him finding his soulmates and the weight of the world is gone. Truly makes me so happy for him.
Swede saying: "Swedes are some of the most introverted people in the world."

"Nevermind don't hold my beer. Leave me alone"

LexiaBoo his UA-cam channel is Staffan Taylor :)
No, he is still in Sweden
They couldn't have met a better person for this. Stefan is such a positive lovely guy. Glad he got this opportunity
11:30 easily the best part
Matt: "how do you feel?"
Staffan: "I had to cancel my appointment with my knee specialist to go on this run"
lolz
Yes Theory: The only place on the internet where you will never be disappointed and always leave motivated and inspired 🔥🔥🔥
and also reminding you of your boring life 😌
Darren Connor Damn True😍
@@rs541 Yeah if they swapped lives with me all they would do is watch anime and youtube vids and go to work lmao
i didn't realize it until the end of the video but i was smiling for 20 mins straight.. there's so much positivity and good vibes radiating out of this video.. it's crazy.
SAME!!!
me too and cried lol
It's too much for me. I'm dribbling
Same dude same
YESSS SAME
As a swede watching this, all i can say ...Got damn ur lucky running in to Staffan this guy is like one in a million.
Gianluca Di Marzio True, though more like 1/10k but still, a very small minority!
@@GenericNameeee One in a million är mer ett talesätt med andra ord han är very rare.
@@gianlucadimarzio5219 yeh English has weird sayings ngl
@@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
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
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

HAHAHAHAHA
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
''Swedish people are like the most introverted people on earth"
You obviously haven't met us, the finnish.

You obviously haven’t met us, the Turkish.
@@HCK_Cat_ yhea we are extremely introvert
Or us. Estonians...
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
@@Darikiko 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 ❤
@@doylethechocolatelab oh thank you very much. English is not my first language
Lmao steffan talked at my school about young entrepreneurs and now he’s on yes theory
How was it? Was he good? Honest opinion?
Morné van Jaarsveld he was amazing
Wow really cool
Same 😆 what a small world
same here, he came to my school and talked about a year ago
Steffan is obviously not the average Swede
Legend says that til to these day, Steffan is still shouting america in the airport
Verk Music 😂😂👍
Verk Music he moved there lol
ah yes, you can hear his swedish cries at night and there have been some sightings of 'i ❤ life' written in bbq sauce.
😂
Here I am coming back years later after I saw Staffan was the host of the movie premier. And here he was just a passerby in the street and suddenly he became a huge part of this channel. We all love Staffan and it's curious but awesome how can one become such an important part of someone else's life in an instant.
They've run 10 miles today already.
Stephan: Does everyone in America does this?!?
Michael Ipsen not me
Sir S'more lol
@@emmakate2376 Hey , Could we be friends ? , I am just putting it out ....
@@chillofy2311 you dawg
If you look at the american obesety rates i think not
Every time he says “AMERICA!” I am just filled with joy
Staffan acts like he has already been friends with all of you for years. That's wild.
Job de Leeuw he’s just sweetish they are always nice
Its Stefan
Love stefan!!!
@@overlandnote9189 it's Staffan. in the video and in the yes theory comment
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.
Nobody
Literally nobody
Steffan: AMERICAAAA
hahaha steffan is like a Sacha Cohen alter ego
lol
I wanted to write EXACTLY that

swedish guy: *AMEEEERICAAAAAAAAAA*
yes
His name is Steffan
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.
It seems like Staffan waited for this moment his whole life! This was awesome!
Person: I’m an accountant for the Bank of America
Person: I work as a fireman
Stephan: I’m a PROFESSIONAL DREAMER
love you Stephan keep spreading positivity
Haha love you!!
Staffan*
"I said yes yesterday to go on this trip"
"Really? You were drunk?"
Staffan: No
Alex: Yes
Literally what Thomas said. XD
“You can fail at what you do. You can’t fail at who you are.” Woah. Those words are profound.
Stefan is one of the best people you’ve had on Yes Theory truly a special person
Duublechokess _ Same with lukey
guy swapping lives with me: * gets to spend three days straight scrolling on my laptop while sitting on my bed with 5 chins *
Saaaaaame
YES RELATABLE....and eating all the food at home
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!!!
RTB 604 too bad American colleges are 100x the quality
@@HeyThere348 I'M DANISH TOO. (don't live there but...)(also @RTB 604 is correct about free universities)
The enthusiasm and excitement in Steffan is so inspiring. You can tell he truly enjoyed his time here in America
not to be dramatic or anything,,, but I would die for steffan
Jessica Johnson for real tho😂
Gal Horowitz i actually wanna go to sweden so bad! i will sometime in the future for sure
@@pestopasta8049 Visit Stockholm during summer when the sun is always up and it isn't too cold and rainy. Be prepared that it's quite expensive here.
Don't die for him. Instead, Live for him.
Marry him and he'll be able to stay in usa hehehe
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
@@IIIuminate123 noshit
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
@@danielhenriksson9944 *airpods
Staffan is a really cool guy. Befriended him when we were taking our driving lessons at the same place. Nice to see him getting this experience, he deserves it!
Thank you!
Staffan Taylor no way
Staffan is a diamond and I’m so glad you found him. I watched this video when it was first released and cried happy tears over his experience and connection with the YT boys and now watching it back again knowing that a true friendship was made 😭❤ His charismatic energy is something we get to see more of now and I’m so happy. He really said yes to his entire future and that’s so inspiring!
yes theory is like reality tv but not staged.
ChiefsRaysBolts lets go Chiefs! I’m actually a Swedish chiefs fan so this comment kind of fits the theme of the video! Sweden + US = love!
Erik Harald Nilsson Hell yeah bro! Go Chiefs! 🇸🇪 🇺🇸
The way we all wished reality tv would have been.
I think that's why I love them so much. Bc I love reality TV but this is just so authentic and pure.
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
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?
so its the first time they met Steffan... oh i love his energy, so sweet.
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?
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
Nobody:
Stefan:
AMERICAAAAAAA
😂😂😂😂
America!,,,
I get surprised when people are still excited to come/be here as foreigners. 👀😅😅. I was in Europe this summer and every country I went to someone brought up politics and basically crapped on the US.... Stefan is truly a positive guy
Staffan, not Stefan..
Tom Bradford you legit just copied another comment but okay.
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!
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
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.
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
3 years later, Steffan is a full time member of Yes Theory and changing lives even more.
Love this stuff guys and congrats Steffan!
“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
This is how many times Staffan said “America!”
AMERICAAAAA!
Staffan Taylor That’s the spirit!
@@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. 😊
@@staffantaylor I subscribed to you

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 UA-cam 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 😂
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!
Staffan should definitely be in a future video. He is an amazing human being with even better intentions.
THEY REALLY NEED TO HAVE A REUNION TO MEET UP TOGETHER THAT WOULD BE THE MOST WHOLESOME MOMENT EVER AHHHH
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.
