When my mom passed away I had to write her Eulogy and it was hard because she really didn’t get to Live. So I tell people Live your life, love yourself and find things you love to do and do them and love and enjoy the people who share your life with you.
I enjoy all of your content but what made me subscribe to your channel is watching how polite you are with service people. The way you acknowledge your drivers, wait staff, hotel staff just everyone you come in contact with. I like and admire that. A thank you goes a long way and speaks volumes about the person and you're never to rushed to say thanks and offer a kind encouraging word. Frankly I've been waiting for this video. You're on the right track young man. You're thinking about the right things. You'll figure it out. You choose to be positive but you know how this world can be. I'm rooting for you and your family. You got this. Just always remember to refill your tank. You're doing a great job.
Appreciate that. 🙏🏼 And yes, i read a book called ‘Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff’ when i was 12 or 13 and it taught me how thanking someone for what they’re doing, even in the smallest instance, could turn their day around. I loved the lesson and the examples that came with it and have never looked back.
Loved this. I’m in my 40s and feel like I need to find what motivates me because I’m ready to build the life that I deserve and I no longer think it’s too late. I know where I want to be just need to map out the path to achieving it.
I like how you described how an entrepreneur thinks about work/jobs; how you manage your time and prioritize family. I appreciate your humility; life is challenging, you don't have it all figured out but you're making great effort. You have an incredible, glamorous life that I can't relate to but your sharing here; losing sleep sometimes, worry about family connection, building your business, made you so relatable!
I've been watching you for many year's; all the best of luck to you Bendan. I have all the faith in you and your abilities do what ever you put your mind to. I always will continue to watch and follow you. I find that you inspire me. I must say though please take some time off for your own mental health. God bless you and Hannah
Hi Brendan, thank you for sharing your thoughts,I believe we are all on journey. I have been entertaining the idea of a channel or podcast, and been praying for wisdom to make the decision and also the right connection. You are very kind to share some of the ventures you are making happen.. the Best to you Brendan. Thank you.🎉
Brendan, thank you so much for sharing your feelings. I really like how much you appreciate your family life. It's just so important. It seems to me that your life's journey is going well. I've been watching for about two years, and I'll keep watching.
Great discussion! Keep the ceilings; they are gorgeous. I think you and your fam are a great total brand (lifestyle, style) focus on the travel and house decor.
You are a “thinker” which I totally respect. The downside to that is it can be mentally exhausting. Take it easy on yourself Brendan. Best to you. Lynn
Thank you Brendan you gave me a lot to think about. I continue to pray for good health and safety for you and your beautiful family Stay strong, Stay amazing, Stay kind it bring back the Blessings for many generations to come I love you guys.
I needed to hear this. I’m working three different jobs. The design (landscape) consulting work is all I want to do, but I only devote like 8 hours a week to that. Husband is working and building us a new kitchen and with three kids we are stretched thin. I’m dealing with a lot of parent guilt and I’m just tired. We’ve reached so many goals already, something has got to give. You and Hannah are forever inspiration.
Love this type of video Brendan! You seem so relaxed “just talking from your heart”. I’ve been following you guys for years and have so enjoyed watching your family grow - I mean, Preston is a star and so fun to watch! I’ve got 20 years on you and find this new world of Influencers and social media honestly so fascinating - I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’ve often wondered how you feel as a parent and husband always having a camera in your face(s) and wonder if and when you’ll get so damn sick of it. It must truly be a lot. But I get that it’s your business and social media marketing is here to stay. I think more videos that open the curtains a bit and allow us to see inside - the good, and frustrating… keeps you real which is something that I believe most Influencers try to hide for the sake of keeping things “always on, always selling”. We follow you and your family for all of it and truly appreciate the transparency and honesty.
It's amazing I'm 46 and I am in the same spot .We start to reevaluate what our next steps are in our journey in life .Your story in your vlogs have inspired me !
I love the way you put your family first. You are so driven in what you do but you always appreciate the people around you. You recently lost a friend and I lost my only son recently also and I do understand that these events change a person’s outlook on life. I look forward in seeing your creativity and the growth of your family in the years to come.
Im sorry about your pain. You will never be the same but you can be better. No one will ever take his place in this short physical life we lead maybe someone or maybe many people will enter your life that you can care about and show love. I hope you heal completly and in Jesus name be made whole. Your son has moved to another phase of this great journey. Be patient and at peace God is not through with us yet. Peace be unto you in Jesus name.
Outstanding expression and presentation Mr. Fallis, rest easy, your head is in the right place and you are doing it (life) right, take it from a 69yr old. I think this video more than any other should be archived and shaved for and shared with P & C when they reach their teen years. This is a side of you they should see, it will have an positive impact.
Your skin looks great by the way. These are the best years of your Life your kids are gorgeous and they need you. They grow up to quickly. Yes journal do exercise and do creative things. You say it yourself you have things on your Mind so get them out from there and on to paper or make something tangible from these thoughts.
I’m not on any social media platforms but I like my UA-cam binge watching on a daily basis. Your videos with your life with Hannah and your children really are a highlight to my week. I had my daughter via IVF so I have connected with you that way. I also connect with your home renovations and sense of style and travel. I think providing links from your videos here to an Amazon list I would love. Your list from home shopping, children shopping and personal shopping would be great. Have a blessed week.
Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. It’s helpful to me to hear that others also take inventory of their lives to refocus on the things that really matter. Your content is definitely appreciated. Please continue to do more videos like this.
I’m so lucky I paint everyday, I don’t sell my art because it’s my legacy for my children. Knowing a piece of me will be treasured by my children and grandchildren makes me more fulfilled than any money from sales. I’m 63 and living my dream life. You inspire and motivate me to prioritize what makes me happy, thank you for letting me see your journey, it’s so fun to watch!
You just need to relax Brendan and let life take the lead and keep well. We can't plan everything life throws things at us and to be resilient is the key. Don't over plan or use up too much energy mentally and physically and balance is the answer.
Interesting hearing you talk about your thoughts on this. I personally think it’s amazing how you try out different projects on multiple platforms. That way you can be free creatively and try out several styles. You having the balance of work, fun and family is amazing. I know you hear that so much but its truly inspiring. Excited about the mailer. This is going to be so cool. Keep hustling sir.
I hope you live a long life too ❤ I love how you love your family so much I wish I had a husband and father to my children like you. My husband abandoned us and it hurts so much 😢
This is soo good love this “ talks with Brendan” could be a fun series for you your so open about it all I love the talk on mutable income streams working on a few rn and hearing you contemplate about which ones work or don’t feels good to hear it explained from a creator not many talk business like that 😊
I love these mindful insights Brendan!! We need a weekly dose of this lol - it's so therapeutic and cathartic to find that support in an online community and grow forwards together. Stay Blessed man :)
I admire you so much Brendan. You selflessly focus and center your why around your family, it truly is inspiring. You explore all avenues of your creative interests and continuously keep trying to see what works and what doesnt. I admire the mindset you have and will be adopting it into my life. From my heart i wish you abundant success, good health, and that all your dreams manifest into reality. Thank you for being vulnerable and authentic ❤
Thanks so much for this incredible display of your thought process and vulnerability! Especially when mentioning 30k feet. I’m always in air thinking and journaling my next move in life. Zooming out is key. I’ve always been inspired by you and Hannah. Wishing you both infinite peace & prosperity. ✨
When Brendan has a sit down video some magic is on the way!! Your desire for creativity and new experiences is what led me to you. I know you'll figure out what you truly want to accomplish in this life and what you do I hope you are fulfilled! Keep inspiring!!
Dear Brendan…You are so creative, funny, intelligent, cool dad/ husband/friend…. and full filed. But washing you, I guess you hit your max dreams and what is next? Maybe you are afraid of FOMO for something…pls think more about your achievements and blessings so fare and enjoy it for a change…life is passing so quickly don’t push yourself for some action. Action will come don’t worry!!! Love for your family and you from Sarajevo ❤💪💐
Gréât content as usual! I would love a follow up video on the ins and outs of starting your own LLC and how one goes about aligning with hotels/vacation spots at a discounted rate/compt. It’s really cool hearing the business side of how you guys made it.
I like your suggested video idea on how to, set up yourself after branding yourself, LLC & getting out there.. it was something quick you mentioned for an informative video idea. Thank you for taking the time on this video too.. Learned soooo much in 30mins of un-edited knowledge. Maybe a short Behind The Scene Series of videos, showing what can be done in the early stages as a created, or the biggest one... Free Travel .. Maybe how to manage your money, that is getting put into your brand vs. personal life..or combining the 2...How to turn your life into a brand .... I believe u mentioned some of that too. But what ever 10 things you choose...a series of video dedicated to each topic would be visional informative too, I think as a viewer.
Loved that you shared this! My husband is recently about to start his own business and it’s so scary to finally take the leap especially when you have a family to support. Any advice on how to get started and tackle things like financials and maybe who you turn to for that stuff? Also wondering what kind of aspects of your businesses do you outsource and what aspects do you do on your own.
Life will continue no matter what we do. My husband and I sold our house, gave everything away and took off on full time travel in early retirement 4 years ago - so life doesn't have to look the same! Do you have a higher faith - I don't mean religion, but rather something/one that gives you perspective in life and where you can turn to when life tumbles and you don't have control? It might assist along the way. 😀
Have you ever considered building your own interior design company? In one of your vlogs you built a concrete table and it inspired me to make one for myself. You have a really good eye on design and this could really be a niche market for you. Not many people have that talent, but you do.
Love your videos. Definitely continue to make them. They give you exposure . Family is priceless . Can definitely relate to thinking of the future and all that you would like to accomplish and experience .
Is it me, or does teaching/showing the ropes seem to be one of Brendan's passions? I'm only going by how I see him on fire when he teaches Preston things along with the knowledge bits he passes onto to us in his videos. Masterclass Fallis? :)
I love your vaulted ceiling they are the character of your home. How can people not like them - don't listen. There is some terrible taste out there in interiors and if you are preserving the fabric of your home you are making the right decisions.
Brendon....the battlefield of the mind is where the enemy attacks. Journaling is awesome, but Jesus and prayer is more. Give God some time. Your cool and you've been blessed with an awesome family!
Brendan!!!!!! I feel like, you feel that you are running out of time and or you won't have enough time to complete your dreams before aging or passing. I tend to feel that way after watching my Dad's life change literally over night. I feel like after being his primary caregiver, will I have enough time or energy to do anything..... I'm 55. Hear me out, you can and will complete every single one of your hearts desires. It might not be to be today, this year or the next 5 years but you will have time. Take a deep breathe and BE present in every moment of your day. Don't give it any extra thoughts, just execute. When you begin to let it flo, it will come together at the perfect time. It's a lot right now and the thought of morality can be scary and alarming, it will cause anxiety before you know it. Have faith in all of the things that you guys are doing. Trust and increase your faith that the good Lord will bless and favor you both with long, healthy, happy, purposeful and prosperous life. I left the other social platforms but I'm cheering, clapping and praying for you and Hannah every since I watched you guys paint the brick fireplace white. Praying for your continued success!!!!!!!! YOU GOT THIS.. LETS GOOOOOOO and HAVE FUN WHILE DOING IT!!!!
LOVED the video! That kind of behind the scene is so valuable. Thank you so much - and please make this a series. :) Also, "hi" to your gorgeous wife & kids
Hey Brendan and Hannah ! PLEASE let us know how you guys are doing since the floods. My thoughts have been with you, the bloggers that I watch that are in NY as well as all of the people in New York. I hope that you all are safe, and sound. Please let us know!
Good! So glad that your little family is safe. It's disturbing to see what New Yorkers are going through. I wish you much success in your business endeavors. I'm sure you will do well.
@@BrendanFallis I am so glad! So many of your followers were worried! It's a blessing that you guys are ok and were able to weather that awful storm! Stay safe !
I really appreciate your content Brandon, grateful for it, the way it inspires me to appreciate life and make the most of it. ❤ It's also beautiful to watch you and Hannah's journey as entrepreneurs, parents, brother, sister, son, daughter. Connecting as humans and lifting up each others.
Pray Brendan. A family that prays together stays together. PRAY WHEN YOU GET UP, PRAY IN THE AFTERNOON AND PRAY BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. IT IS A LOT GOING IN THIS WORLD.
Sounds like you are bieng hard on yourself, nothing wrong with taking care of everything but you can be more gentle on yourself! Try writing down what you really want your life to be period, it may take awhile but thats the ultimate goal really. WHAT DO YOU WANT ? ❤❤
The important thing is the idea, and the question, "How can I help?" How about an event? I started the Mississauga Home Show, it's a lot of work. I produced shows in the USA, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, when I got a green card. I have an idea for a show, it's a lot of work. Keep up the good work Brendan.
Love these chats! Your own realistic New York Netflix Real Estate show, home décor, architects etc., would be awesome!! Would love to see more New York city residences.
As I have mentioned from time to time in your comments since I’ve been following you for couple of years now, Brendan, that I think it’s worth writing a book 📚 I truly think you’ll inspire a lot of people to know your formula to success as a influencer, entrepreneur, husband, and father, traveling around the world, and being a Canadian married to an American heiress. All of it would be truly amazing and a book I’d definitely buy! I think this would expand your platform in other areas. There’s so much potential for you to explore new ideas and journeys you haven’t dipped your foot into yet. You’re incredibly talented and creative and you’ve always inspired me. And of course the book title “The Fallis Rule” a Canadian dude living the American dream would be epic! Love you and your beautiful family ❤❤🙏🙏 Lisa
Hello brendan et hannah ❤❤ fabulous vlog as always ❤so inspiring brendan magnifique t hat s fabulous that yôu and hannah work together i would say continue that way and try also to developpe your ideas from the start to the end so you can have more money and enjoy your beautiful family at the same time...congratulations you and hannah on your new projects BRAVO À VOUS DEUX GREAt ACHIVEMENTS cheers to many more.always a pleasure to see you beautiful family sending love from beautigul haiti.❤❤🇭🇹🇨🇭
Actually this format is quite helpful because in watching you, as you share your thought process, working as a content creator/entrepreneur gives me a lot of hope and inspiration. When I last commented on your design projects, under the 'Fallis' name, it is also helping those of usdo or preparing to incorporate SM and other projects and successfully juggle all those pieces while having a good life. You are absolutely correct, 'ROI' has got to be in the forefront of everything we do. Even those of us who work for others, should be addressing what is important, and making that a vital part of our lives.
I resonate a lot with the issues and problems that you are facing and what helps me is thinking of myself as a brand. I say that because I can be a photographer, real estate agent, investor, stock market investor, software developer and million other things and I get overwhelmed, spread thin and get analysis paralysis. You have so many outlets to generate income from and you don’t have the time or ability to work them all. So create your brand, pick your top 5, work the shit out of them until you have a team that lets you work more outlets. It’s better to be the best at a few than to be okay at a bunch.
I understand where you are coming from, but people are going to have a hard time relating to you when you are only showing the travels and incredible homes you have. It comes across a bit tone-deaf to say you have built this from scratch but you are married to someone who comes from so much wealth and connections. Everyone obviously have problems in their life but people in your city are living on the streets. Maybe the fulfillment would come from more selfless point of view, maybe teach and help young talent to build what you have built?
Being a very popular blogger ..highly doubt people are having a hard time? I'm far from this world ..in a sense..but love it because it's about working on your goals and dreams. If you love fashion..travel..family..he touches on that as well.
Appreciate your sharing the thought process. And the intentionality behind it. I know my son will love the new content ... and as a former corporate "lifer" who escaped in order to spend more time with my son - the twists and turns are many but rewarding. Peace to you Hannah, Preston, and Claude. We'll be watching/supporting.
Didn’t say it wasn’t. I think you missed the point of this all. It was essentially a way to journal but in video format. This helping me continue to grow. Perspective 🙏🏼
Bumped into your beautiful wife in Dallas at the Beyonce concert. Brendan, I don’t know you but we go through phases of life where we want to lean in more into one area of life versus another. Please don’t blow anything up. Honor what you feel right now and make millimeter shifts. I also feel like in your 40’s we start to focus on legacy - this feels natural. Please feel what you feel, express gratitude and make micro-shifts. You’re a great man. You have a dope core and extended family. You’ve been in pursuit of so many projects - two concurrent remodels, two babies and so much shuffle. It’s ok, feel what you feel. You have this. You’re doing great.
a thought to mind on real-estate things: People love touring folks homes. You could definitely attract more people on youtube// instagram if you spend time speaking to people in your network that have cool homes or homes that you find to be inspiring and then talking about what you like about it. I'm thinking Architectual Digest but for the back-end of the real-estate market if that makes sense. Lol 2nd or 3rd time commenting on your videos but you're authenticity is inspiring me to engage more!
Brendan, there's a little trick to stop your thoughts. Close your eyes. Take in a long slow breath and release it very slowly, relaxing the muscles in your face. Then say to yourself, "I wonder what my next thought will be." ---You will literally have no thoughts. It ACTUALLY works! (Hope this helps from time to time.)
Thanks for sharing Brendan, always so interesting to hear your approach to your career. Your point around wanting to use your skillset to forward yourself rather than others really hit home for me. I'm currently going through a process of weighing up the option of continuing in a digital marketing career in 9-5 roles or working for myself. One thing I'm really struggling with is the confidence to believe you can stand behind yourself and charge a similar rate that you know your employer is charging for your work in house. In your day of the life vlog confidence navigating any situation doesn't seem like an issue for you or Hannah, i'm a pretty introverted person so that doesn't come quite so naturally to me. Though in these more introspective ones I start to see you deal with a lot the same anxieties and problem solving the rest of us do. Would love to hear you speak on your confidence to just enter new niches and start new things. Always excited to see your projects!
Yes. I used to struggle a bit with that but i found with more experience and age i now feel confident knowing what i can truly achieve and also find confidence in what i know i can bring to the table. It will come to you!
If Brendan would offer educational videos via patreon or subscription based platform, at an affordable rate, on any topic/subject, what would you like to learn?
When my mom passed away I had to write her Eulogy and it was hard because she really didn’t get to Live. So I tell people Live your life, love yourself and find things you love to do and do them and love and enjoy the people who share your life with you.
Great advice 🙏🏼
I enjoy all of your content but what made me subscribe to your channel is watching how polite you are with service people. The way you acknowledge your drivers, wait staff, hotel staff just everyone you come in contact with. I like and admire that.

I loved the lesson and the examples that came with it and have never looked back.
If you want to succeed in any area of your life, serve and fulfill in an area of need. You will then be able to grow in ways you’d never imagine. 😊
Loved this. I’m in my 40s and feel like I need to find what motivates me because I’m ready to build the life that I deserve and I no longer think it’s too late. I know where I want to be just need to map out the path to achieving it.
Never too late!

I have all the faith in you and your abilities do what ever you put your mind to.
I always will continue to watch and follow you. I find that you inspire me.
I must say though please take some time off for your own mental health.
God bless you and Hannah
Hi Brendan, thank you for sharing your thoughts,I believe we are all on journey. I have been entertaining the idea of a channel or podcast, and been praying for wisdom to make the decision and also the right connection.
You are very kind to share some of the ventures you are making happen.. the Best to you Brendan. Thank you.🎉
loved hearing all of this. You have a specific niche/audience, not for the masses but the unique. hope you continue the journey!
Brendan, thank you so much for sharing your feelings. I really like how much you appreciate your family life. It's just so important. It seems to me that your life's journey is going well. I've been watching for about two years, and I'll keep watching.
Great discussion! Keep the ceilings; they are gorgeous. I think you and your fam are a great total brand (lifestyle, style) focus on the travel and house decor.
I just heard a lot of anxiety in this .. go easy on yourself and the expectations. Enjoy the ride and only good to you
Turning anxiety into power and action via realization is something I’ve been able to do in the past and find so fullfilling
Loved the vlog- it is relatable too! There’s something for everyone to grasp from the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are a “thinker” which I totally respect. The downside to that is it can be mentally exhausting.
Take it easy on yourself Brendan.
Best to you.
Lynn
Thank you Brendan you gave me a lot to think about. I continue to pray for good health and safety for you and your beautiful family Stay strong, Stay amazing, Stay kind it bring back the Blessings for many generations to come

Trust me; as long as you drop, you will find me comment. Thank you for the education and for inspiring gents like me. Love and light brother.
Appreciate you
Really loved listening to you discuss business!
Love this type of video Brendan! You seem so relaxed “just talking from your heart”. I’ve been following you guys for years and have so enjoyed watching your family grow - I mean, Preston is a star and so fun to watch! I’ve got 20 years on you and find this new world of Influencers and social media honestly so fascinating - I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Outstanding expression and presentation Mr. Fallis, rest easy, your head is in the right place and you are doing it (life) right, take it from a 69yr old.

This video was so real. Thank you for sharing your thoughts so candidly ❤
Dear Brendan…You are so creative, funny, intelligent, cool dad/ husband/friend…. and full filed. But washing you, I guess you hit your max dreams and what is next? Maybe you are afraid of FOMO for something…pls think more about your achievements and blessings so fare and enjoy it for a change…life is passing so quickly don’t push yourself for some action. Action will come don’t worry!!! Love for your family and you from Sarajevo ❤💪💐
More of these please!
Gréât content as usual! I would love a follow up video on the ins and outs of starting your own LLC and how one goes about aligning with hotels/vacation spots at a discounted rate/compt. It’s really cool hearing the business side of how you guys made it.
I like your suggested video idea on how to, set up yourself after branding yourself, LLC & getting out there.. it was something quick you mentioned for an informative video idea. Thank you for taking the time on this video too.. Learned soooo much in 30mins of un-edited knowledge. Maybe a short Behind The Scene Series of videos, showing what can be done in the early stages as a created, or the biggest one... Free Travel .. Maybe how to manage your money, that is getting put into your brand vs. personal life..or combining the 2...How to turn your life into a brand .... I believe u mentioned some of that too. But what ever 10 things you choose...a series of video dedicated to each topic would be visional informative too, I think as a viewer.
I highly recommend the book called “The Power of Now” - the message is everything. The style of how it’s written is tough 🤣 but the message is great !
Loved that you shared this! My husband is recently about to start his own business and it’s so scary to finally take the leap especially when you have a family to support. Any advice on how to get started and tackle things like financials and maybe who you turn to for that stuff? Also wondering what kind of aspects of your businesses do you outsource and what aspects do you do on your own.
Lots of things to answer here and dependent on where he’s headed and how and why.
Life will continue no matter what we do. My husband and I sold our house, gave everything away and took off on full time travel in early retirement 4 years ago - so life doesn't have to look the same! Do you have a higher faith - I don't mean religion, but rather something/one that gives you perspective in life and where you can turn to when life tumbles and you don't have control? It might assist along the way. 😀
For me, journaling & prayer does help for your overall mental, emotional & physical health.
Have you ever considered building your own interior design company?
In one of your vlogs you built a concrete table and it inspired me to make one for myself. You have a really good eye on design and this could really be a niche market for you. Not many people have that talent, but you do.
Love your videos. Definitely continue to make them. They give you exposure . Family is priceless . Can definitely relate to thinking of the future and all that you would like to accomplish and experience .
Is it me, or does teaching/showing the ropes seem to be one of Brendan's passions? I'm only going by how I see him on fire when he teaches Preston things along with the knowledge bits he passes onto to us in his videos. Masterclass Fallis? :)
I send my condolences.
I love your vaulted ceiling they are the character of your home. How can people not like them - don't listen. There is some terrible taste out there in interiors and if you are preserving the fabric of your home you are making the right decisions.
Brendon....the battlefield of the mind is where the enemy attacks. Journaling is awesome, but Jesus and prayer is more.
Give God some time.
Your cool and you've been blessed with an awesome family!
these videos are so helpful. You're going to be a huge voice in the industry as it continues to grow. Love seeing your journey!
Thanks so much!!
Brendan!!!!!! I feel like, you feel that you are running out of time and or you won't have enough time to complete your dreams before aging or passing. I tend to feel that way after watching my Dad's life change literally over night. I feel like after being his primary caregiver, will I have enough time or energy to do anything..... I'm 55. Hear me out, you can and will complete every single one of your hearts desires. It might not be to be today, this year or the next 5 years but you will have time. Take a deep breathe and BE present in every moment of your day. Don't give it any extra thoughts, just execute. When you begin to let it flo, it will come together at the perfect time. It's a lot right now and the thought of morality can be scary and alarming, it will cause anxiety before you know it. Have faith in all of the things that you guys are doing. Trust and increase your faith that the good Lord will bless and favor you both with long, healthy, happy, purposeful and prosperous life.
I left the other social platforms but I'm cheering, clapping and praying for you and Hannah every since I watched you guys paint the brick fireplace white. Praying for your continued success!!!!!!!! YOU GOT THIS.. LETS GOOOOOOO and HAVE FUN WHILE DOING IT!!!!
Love these words. Thank you for taking the time to share them 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank u so much for sharing and unpacking this
I think to hear your brainstorming about anything would be amazing.
You look a lot like Preston in this. Also, I wish you to live a beautiful and long life BF.
Brendan, I truly appreciate ur honesty and ur passion for life and most of all ur beautiful family 🦋
LOVED the video! That kind of behind the scene is so valuable. Thank you so much - and please make this a series. :) Also, "hi" to your gorgeous wife & kids
Oh and as for questions: what are your top 5 tips for people starting out on social media?
Noted
Hey Brendan and Hannah ! PLEASE let us know how you guys are doing since the floods. My thoughts have been with you, the bloggers that I watch that are in NY as well as all of the people in New York. I hope that you all are safe, and sound. Please let us know!
All is well in NY on our end 🙏🏼
Good! So glad that your little family is safe. It's disturbing to see what New Yorkers are going through. I wish you much success in your business endeavors. I'm sure you will do well.
@@BrendanFallis I am so glad! So many of your followers were worried! It's a blessing that you guys are ok and were able to weather that awful storm! Stay safe !
Follow your bliss......
You are inspiring future life
I really appreciate your content Brandon, grateful for it, the way it inspires me to appreciate life and make the most of it. ❤ It's also beautiful to watch you and Hannah's journey as entrepreneurs, parents, brother, sister, son, daughter. Connecting as humans and lifting up each others.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Pray Brendan. A family that prays together stays together. PRAY WHEN YOU GET UP, PRAY IN THE AFTERNOON AND PRAY BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. IT IS A LOT GOING IN THIS WORLD.
Great video,❤❤
Sounds like you are bieng hard on yourself, nothing wrong with taking care of everything but you can be more gentle on yourself! Try writing down what you really want your life to be period, it may take awhile but thats the ultimate goal really. WHAT DO YOU WANT ? ❤❤
🙌🏼
The important thing is the idea, and the question, "How can I help?" How about an event? I started the Mississauga Home Show, it's a lot of work. I produced shows in the USA, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, when I got a green card. I have an idea for a show, it's a lot of work. Keep up the good work Brendan.
Love these chats! Your own realistic New York Netflix Real Estate show, home décor, architects etc., would be awesome!! Would love to see more New York city residences.
just remember once we are gone that is it. And we can't take it with you. Balance is important
🙏🏼🙏🏼
best video
🍀 your and a good place do what you been doing enjoy it live... I will always give you four leaf clover 🍀
I love your authenticity, great work Brendan.
🙏🏼
Yes need more
Thank you, you’re motivating and I appreciate all your content.
As I have mentioned from time to time in your comments since I’ve been following you for couple of years now, Brendan, that I think it’s worth writing a book 📚 I truly think you’ll inspire a lot of people to know your formula to success as a influencer, entrepreneur, husband, and father, traveling around the world, and being a Canadian married to an American heiress. All of it would be truly amazing and a book I’d definitely buy! I think this would expand your platform in other areas. There’s so much potential for you to explore new ideas and journeys you haven’t dipped your foot into yet. You’re incredibly talented and creative and you’ve always inspired me. And of course the book title “The Fallis Rule” a Canadian dude living the American dream would be epic! Love you and your beautiful family ❤❤🙏🙏 Lisa
#goals

Actually this format is quite helpful because in watching you, as you share your thought process, working as a content creator/entrepreneur gives me a lot of hope and inspiration.
When I last commented on your design projects, under the 'Fallis' name, it is also helping those of usdo or preparing to incorporate SM and other projects and successfully juggle all those pieces while having a good life. You are absolutely correct, 'ROI' has got to be in the forefront of everything we do. Even those of us who work for others, should be addressing what is important, and making that a vital part of our lives.
Agreed on all. Prioritizing our time in whatever our situation and ensuring we get the most out of it is essential
I resonate a lot with the issues and problems that you are facing and what helps me is thinking of myself as a brand. I say that because I can be a photographer, real estate agent, investor, stock market investor, software developer and million other things and I get overwhelmed, spread thin and get analysis paralysis. You have so many outlets to generate income from and you don’t have the time or ability to work them all. So create your brand, pick your top 5, work the shit out of them until you have a team that lets you work more outlets. It’s better to be the best at a few than to be okay at a bunch.
💪🏼 thank you
Thank you so much. This is very important. You are being true to yourself. Keep up
You know, I say I need to rest my brain sometimes. Take time to do that.
Inspiring 💯
Hope you got to do grief counseling for your friend. Sorry for your loss!
❤❤❤
I understand where you are coming from, but people are going to have a hard time relating to you when you are only showing the travels and incredible homes you have. It comes across a bit tone-deaf to say you have built this from scratch but you are married to someone who comes from so much wealth and connections. Everyone obviously have problems in their life but people in your city are living on the streets. Maybe the fulfillment would come from more selfless point of view, maybe teach and help young talent to build what you have built?
That would require a lot of selflessness...
Watch the video again. He seems like a nice person, but clearly, that's not a motivator for him
Being a very popular blogger ..highly doubt people are having a hard time? I'm far from this world ..in a sense..but love it because it's about working on your goals and dreams. If you love fashion..travel..family..he touches on that as well.
Appreciate your sharing the thought process. And the intentionality behind it. I know my son will love the new content ... and as a former corporate "lifer" who escaped in order to spend more time with my son - the twists and turns are many but rewarding. Peace to you Hannah, Preston, and Claude. We'll be watching/supporting.
Am I missing something? Your life seems awsome to me.
You never know what anyone is going through 😊
@@dvorah7564 We can switch if he wants.
His friend just passed, and so it's making him realize some things about his life now.
12 mins in-he’s just pushing square space and his mailer. You’re not missing anything
Didn’t say it wasn’t. I think you missed the point of this all. It was essentially a way to journal but in video format. This helping me continue to grow. Perspective 🙏🏼
First!!!!
this is the perfect video we can all watch/listen to while doing our cardio
Bumped into your beautiful wife in Dallas at the Beyonce concert. Brendan, I don’t know you but we go through phases of life where we want to lean in more into one area of life versus another. Please don’t blow anything up. Honor what you feel right now and make millimeter shifts. I also feel like in your 40’s we start to focus on legacy - this feels natural. Please feel what you feel, express gratitude and make micro-shifts. You’re a great man. You have a dope core and extended family. You’ve been in pursuit of so many projects - two concurrent remodels, two babies and so much shuffle. It’s ok, feel what you feel. You have this. You’re doing great.
Appreciate you 🙏🏼. Glad you met Hannah too!
a thought to mind on real-estate things: People love touring folks homes. You could definitely attract more people on youtube// instagram if you spend time speaking to people in your network that have cool homes or homes that you find to be inspiring and then talking about what you like about it. I'm thinking Architectual Digest but for the back-end of the real-estate market if that makes sense. Lol 2nd or 3rd time commenting on your videos but you're authenticity is inspiring me to engage more!
Love that. Actually have a meeting about this concept lined up for this week
Brendan, there's a little trick to stop your thoughts. Close your eyes. Take in a long slow breath and release it very slowly, relaxing the muscles in your face. Then say to yourself, "I wonder what my next thought will be." ---You will literally have no thoughts.
It ACTUALLY works! (Hope this helps from time to time.)
Love it. Taking notes 📝🩵🙏
Love this! Will def try
@@BrendanFallis ❤
More conversation
Be careful Brendan, you are over extending. To thy own self be true!
Deep breath!
Thanks for sharing Brendan, always so interesting to hear your approach to your career. Your point around wanting to use your skillset to forward yourself rather than others really hit home for me. I'm currently going through a process of weighing up the option of continuing in a digital marketing career in 9-5 roles or working for myself. One thing I'm really struggling with is the confidence to believe you can stand behind yourself and charge a similar rate that you know your employer is charging for your work in house. In your day of the life vlog confidence navigating any situation doesn't seem like an issue for you or Hannah, i'm a pretty introverted person so that doesn't come quite so naturally to me. Though in these more introspective ones I start to see you deal with a lot the same anxieties and problem solving the rest of us do. Would love to hear you speak on your confidence to just enter new niches and start new things. Always excited to see your projects!
Yes. I used to struggle a bit with that but i found with more experience and age i now feel confident knowing what i can truly achieve and also find confidence in what i know i can bring to the table. It will come to you!
If Brendan would offer educational videos via patreon or subscription based platform, at an affordable rate, on any topic/subject, what would you like to learn?
Nice video! What’s the update on your outdoor furniture store?
Coming soon!
