Sometimes I feel like I need to just chat about life, thanks for watching and joining this journey, hope you guys are still getting something from this channel and my uploads, I love my job and I'm eternally grateful to you guys watching me ❤️
The chatty vlogs are great, don't doubt how much we love hearing what you think! you're a huge inspiration to so many and we are so lucky that you choose to share your thoughts and experiences with us.
Ben, it's the mixture of extremely professional cinematography and photography along your personality that has lead to your success! You'll be surprised how excited a lot of people (including me) are for this extra long episode! Sometimes just having a chat is much more rewarding and much easier than making amazing musical interludes in every vlog! In my videos i've been having more chats and the videos are getting slightly longer, but i'm still caught up on making the perfect video every time, which is a good thing and a bad thing for vloggers haha. Keep up the good work and I hope i'll get to meet you one day dude! Take care mate!
Two thumbs up for you Ben for tackling thru this chat the real threat that our planet is facing right now. I can't help but agree with you that before anyone say that all of these is bullshit, they should first watch the documentary Before The Flood. It's been showing up on suggested videos here in youtube for more or less a week now. Good chat!
I think this " real vlog talk" was needed. Keep making these movements Ben! you have the capability as a single person to influence a huge audience. Much love dude!
I'm really happy you watched Before the Flood and talked about global warming. I really hope people take the initiative to make some changes in their lives. I've become a vegetarian because of it. Everyone can just reduce the amount of meat they eat. Instead of eating meat every day or even twice a day, why not just have it once a week? It would be a massive reduction in emissions globally.
I love how passionate you are about your work, you truly shine when you talk about photography, keep up the rambling about positive impact topics, you can create a platform for change because so many look up to you. It's so incredible that you can share your world & philosophies with us through social media. I am so thankful for inspiring souls like you & Nicole!
Most of us like to think and act globally, but individualism gets in the way, because that is what we deal with daily, Utopia is different for everyone. So many different opinions on so many subjects. We are trying to get at the core of what makes us similar, but respecting the differences.
Mr Ben Brown This Just In! The new American President will be placing an Alpaca Farm in the Rose Garden, a water slide "fuh the Grandkids" from the new 5th story, winding down to the grond at the West Wing. And a "tremendously, fantastically great spa, your not gonna believe!!!.... Optional rub n tugs for an extra $5000 in the liquid nitrogen tanks", OK?!?.
I watched Before The Flood today and I found it unbelievable. We've put our planet in such a bad place yet people still refuse to admit that climate change is real and is an issue.
Phoebe Grigor I watched it up until the point the arrogant Indian lady was angry at the U.S. India is the largest importer of palm oil... Asia consumes more palm oil than the U.S. and whole of Europe combined. Palm oil comes from the rain forest they burned down for palm oil production. Also burning the rain forests introduced more co2 into the atmosphere than the whole U.S. economy. The facts don't add up. It doesn't make sense to tax me when Indians are the largest consumers of palm oil grown from burned down rain forests which polluted exponentially more than the whole U.S. economy.
instantsiv The point of including that was to show that not all of the blame can be pinned onto a single country or society - everyone has the right to have a say, and that was what she thought. You don't have to believe it or agree with her.
Phoebe Grigor Wrong. I just watched it again and she specifically talked about climate negotiations. She said Americans are responsible for all the climate change because of our lifestyle. She sees renewables as not the answer and that the living standard of the US needs to be on parity with India(which uses cow patties as cooking fuel). Again India is the largest importer of palm oil. Indians are responsible for the destruction of rain forests, which released more co2 into the atmosphere than the whole us economy. Asia consumes more palm oil than the US and whole of Europe combined. With those facts why tax me when India destroyed the rain forests and released more co2 into the atmosphere so that they can get cheap palm oil??? *DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!?!* Why should I have to burn cow patties to cook food??? What kind of negotiations is that? It's all a farce.
before the flood is such a necessary video for everyone to watch. climate change is a real problem right now and i feel that we all need to understand that.
AnthonyRichardson I think he said he didn't like the footage for the NYC and LA Visual Vibes. Plus he's trying to improve his content, especially for VV. So I'm 99.9% sure he won't be making ones for those cities.
Good rants haha. Your mom is so right. I work just to live and I hate it. I'm still building my UA-cam channel. Hoping one day to do what you are doing. Big fan.
Bro, have you changed the settings or colour graded different here? It kind of looks like you filmed in S/C-log? Absolutely love it! Would love to know if you done anything different?
Ben, the chat you and your mom had about life was so perfect for where I am at the moment in my own life. I'm trying to just work so I can live, not living just to work. I'm a photographer as well and its nice to pull inspiration from other creatives out in the world. Thanks for all the good and inspiring content, really nice to find some positivity on the internet.
I just pulled my first UA-cam paycheck and it felt great. Not that it was much money, but it was so real for me. Like yeah, my full time day-career is work, but this is passion. My life, blood, soul EVERYTHING goes into the vlogs and when you have something - even little - to show for it, it feels amazing. And I invested it straight back into my video production for better quality. Anyway, you talk a lot of sense Ben. Keep blazing that trail for the rest of us 👌🎥
I love this vlog. It's great to have chilled ones sometimes! They are just as inspiring. Also, hearing your mother's perspective on life is just what I need right now.
As a long term subscriber I've always found your mum endearing and the relationship between the two of you is awesome to watch. Hearing her talk today about teaching and life really captivated me and I can see where you get your passion for life from. Keep doing you Ben.
loved this vlog. Ben thought it was chatty, but it just reminded me how much more of a regular person he is. Sometimes a vlog with excellent cinematography can take the reality out of the lives we're actually living.
Funny that Jeremy was playing in the background of your vlog in the car and I had it going in the office (a discovery thanks to you Ben) at the same time. Love that your mum is so comfortable on the vlog. My mother wouldn't go near it.
This was such a great raw real and great vlog to watch Ben. Really loved hearing your insights into influencer marketing, client change and life in general. Keep these coming x
Loved the chatty vlog, definitely want more like these from time to time. It's true it can be hard to talk about sensitive subjects and things happening around the world but it's great to hear your outlook on things and stuff. Also so great to hear a bit on your mom's life and experience in life. Lots to learn and reflect on, thanks Ben 👏👏
Ben, I've got a question. Now that you mentioned that for you it is 50/50 when it comes to photography and film, given a situation that you can capture something unique that won't last long, what do you prioritize? Do you take first some stills and then do the filming, or the other way around? Thanks!
Ben, the point your mom made about getting caught up in work really got to me. I appreciate the chatty vlogs they do a good job of seeding critical self assessment and deeper thinking whether or not one agrees with the points you have brought up.
Ben, loved it. It's great to see that people share the same thought processes now. This vlog was very educational in terms of environment, work life balance and the importance of family. And it shows again how you don't need any crazy drone shots to tell a great story and inspire people. I really enjoy how the Vlogs kind of transformed recently :)
Ben! My wife is a teacher. Your mums incite was a revelation that she could really relate to. Good to see someone bringing it to the mainstream - your mum is cool. Decent talky vlog tackling some important points. Good work!
I'm a huge fan of the talky vlogs, personally. It's really interesting to hear your perspective and admirable to see how educated you choose to be. Super inspiring, I hope to one day get to chat with you in the real lifeness!
Thanks for the thoughts. We're just starting our own journey of travel as a profession and building our audience. It's a slow process and part of that process is finding our own voice. Also part of that process is finding wonderful locations. As we think about a trip to the UK, seeing the lovely countryside where you guys are walking is enticing. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and travels.
Loving me some wise words from Mama Brown and you for being so open and candid in your vlogs. You deserve all the continued success, you've earned it!! Wishing you both optimal health. 🙏💜😊
Hey! with respect to brands/companies I wanted to share a story with you. Your videos have inspired me over the past 2-3 years since I've watched them. Your photography, videography and travels have inspired me to much to travel and accomplish my own goals in terms of learning about photography and making small videos. I recently got a job through Mobilize Jobs here in Canada which allows me to travel and pursue my hobby of photography. I had no idea you were almost an ambassador for them until I came across their youtube channel and say tons of your and Steve's and Louis' videos. I do kind of wish it was a little bit more known or shown in your videos, even in the description that you were working with them but its cool! I was super stoked to find that out. Thanks for much for the inspo!
Your travel vlogs are always great, but I love the mix between those and the chilled vibes at home in the UK!! And it's always interesting to hear what you have to say, keep killing it Ben👍🏻👊🏻
Before the Flood shows the reality of what we've done to this world. I hope people watch it and be aware of the consequences and I really hope that politicians were much more committed to stop the global warming. Great chat Ben, thank you to talk about it in the vlog!
I really enjoy your chats. I found what your mum was saying interesting. I love my job as a filmmaker but I do find when there's a day a don't have work to do I struggle in planning what else to do. I'm getting better at it but it is a learning process.
Ben, you should look at carbon offsetting your flights. You can purchase offsets online by using a calculator to work out how much you owe depending on flight duration etc. I just started doing it with my flights between the UK and Norway. :) Good luck with your footprint reduction!
ive been vegetarian for one year now since watching cowspiracy I like to do my part to help and i think so many more people should watch cowspiracy . have a good day
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective Ben. It truly is an amazing one and I hope more people will follow your example and strive to become better versions of ourselves. Our planet is wonderful and we have a moral obligation to ourselves to do everything we can to protect it!
Ben, what I love about your videos is your persona. Genuine, honest, courageous & curious. Not everyone is as honest with their audience as you've been & continue to be... I think it really shows how much you value us all! Thanks for the fantastic video, looking forward to the Maldives!! #Vibes
Just curious, what is being said about the temperatures on the other planets of this solar system at this point in our time? motorcycles, land rovers, bums in jet airplanes. how wide is the angle of your lense?
I love this kind of 'talky' vlog! It's really nice to see what resonates with you Ben, and what your motivation in life is with having time to appreciate the things that matter, as well as having integrity in the marketing you do. Amazing as always:)
I don't think i've ever watched a youtube video (other than alllll of SmarterEveryDay's videos) where someone talks about a topic with such passion! I love it!
Can you do another chaty vlog about how you plan your next trip? like where you go, how much will cost, spots to take instagram photos. its much about how you plan to travel another country far away that you don't know.
Good on you mate, this vlog is your medium of expression and it's good to see you speaking what's on your mind. People don't have to agree with every word that comes out of your (or anyone's) mouth to be appreciative of differing opinions. It's great to hear your support and ideas.
I'm really glad that Ben made that point about cutting down on meat (or beef specifically) - around a year or two ago I learned at university about how the meat industry is one of the worst industries in terms of destroying the environment, but I was so surprised to know that it was because of how much energy goes into feeding the animals that we eat. I had never considered becoming a vegetarian but after finding out how much of a difference it can make to our environment to cut down on meat consumption, I now have at least 5 out of 7 meat free days a week. There's a common misconception that people only turn vegetarian because of animal cruelty, but there's a much bigger picture. Cutting out meat doesn't have to be an all or nothing thing, it's so easy to ease yourself in and have one or two meat free dinners. I now feel happy with myself knowing that the majority of the time I'm doing the best I can to help our environment, whilst also knowing that I can treat myself to a steak or chicken without having to feel guilty. I think it's definitely something that more people should consider
The way you incorporate branded content is true brilliance, and that's why your content is always captivating and doesn't force the marketing aspect of it.
Love, love, love what you had to say about influencers working with brands! It's so interesting that in a world where brands are trying to appear more authentic in their storytelling, they don't let influencers have complete control over the way in which they communicate that brand to their audience. Knowing your demographic and how to speak to them is essential and I think bad influencer/brand collabs happen when the audience isn't taken into a high consideration. Stay golden!
Best vlog ever. Feels so good these chatty vlogs because we kind of share our ideas. While you are speaking, we are thinking in the same time and also your vlog become more engaged. Really like that. Best vlogs are when you are surrounded by your family. Love it. Keep this way man
This was SOO GOOD! I love these vlogs of you talking to us like we are there with you and your mom! My dad was a teacher here in the Dominican Republic for over 25 years, he dedicaded his whole life to teaching too so I understand your mom. I love your content! you´re my biggest inspiration in photography and I hope one day be has good has you are.
Hey ben, it was really awesome of you to even bring up diet, some people with an audience as big as yours would shy away from it. It shows your care, and are a real thoughtful person. The closer we get to zero animals being eaten the better. It's about progress
It is a real pleasure watching Ben's activism for the environment grow. I have watched Ben pretty much all of his UA-cam career and it is a real privilege to see how his photography and film skill set has grow but also how mature he has become in his content.
so much respect for you, Ben. sending so much love your ways :) fun fact: literally had just finished watching the documentary before watching your vlog haha
Really enjoyed this one. I know you mentioned people possibly not liking the chattyness, but I quite enjoyed it. I get worried about getting too chatty on my vlogs too. Glad to see someone who inspires me doing it! Cheers :D
I love Polesden Lacey, such a great spot :) loved the chatty style vlog! I've seen Before the Flood as well and the bit on sustainable palm oil really struck me the most. Definitely going to be changing my consumer habits and only buy from companies which don't use palm oil or that get it from sustainable forms. I've also recently cut down my meat consumption massively. I don't label myself a vegetarian, but only have meat once a week, or sometimes not at all. I think what I took from the film was that without people changing their habits, the problem is only going to multiply and we have to protect our beautiful planet for generations to come so they can explore these places we take for granted! :)
Loved this vlog! Yes everyone might not agree with your opinions but it is your vlog and what is important to you is what is going to reflect in your content. Glad you're putting these issues in the lime light for others to put on their radar as well.
Hey Ben, normally long chatty vlogs dont get much retention from your audience but your chat today are all so valuable and motivating at the same time. 100% retention from me :D
I'm transitioning to eating less meat/beef (I have a weakness for burgers), but when I buy meat I make a point to buy from local butchers rather than the grocery store. It is a. better quality, b. better for the animal, c. better for the environment, and d. doesn't even cost much more.
I'm a watcher not a commenter. So nice to see you having a little put the world to rest moment with mum. Also talking about Sam too and Laine (also where I trained) glad she booked Wicked it's insane can't wait for your going to watch vlog! Great honest chats about content and ads - respect 👍🏻
So true about teaching. Mumma brown has got it spot on. I'm a teacher and it takes over everything. I love it but could do with an extra weekend every week😉 as I expect lots of others could
Finally you're talking about substance. This I genuinely care about. Please do these 20 min vlogs once in a while where you just share your opinions about current events, life, etc. It personally makes me respect you a whole lot more. Not to say that I don't already, I love your vlogs and the work you do, mainly because I live vicariously through them (hah). At the moment I'm a very poor biology student with about 3 years left until I graduate and once I graduate I plan to travel as much as I can before starting my career/family. So I guess in a sense you've inspired me to travel, to appreciate other cultures, appreciate diverse ecology (LOVE your Africa vlogs), and appreciate the mundane tasks associated with day to day living. Thanks man.
I also watched Before the Flood and it had great impact on me. I am really grateful that there are people like you and share it further The future is in hands of all of us and actually any step we take we will see the outcome.
Great vlog on all accounts! A different vibe but just as relaxing and motivating. I'm in my first year of teaching having graduated last year and completely doubting my choice of career as it has taken over my life. Really reassuring to hear your mum's point of view on it... makes me feel better knowing that it's not just me! I don't think I'll be continuing with the job after this year but I will leave the job having the greatest respect for teachers.
I love your comments on the new documentary! I watched a few days ago and it was mind changing even though my family and are already very aware and focused on our way of living.
I watched and listened to your entire chat.You are such a honest person,sharing every aspect of your to the world takes a lot of courage and I very much appreciate that from you. Cheers mate !
I enjoy it when you do Vlogs like these Ben, It give's me great encouragement to do more as an individual. when you share your views and be honest with us. 👍🏽
Great chat Ben, such a positive and down to earth, humble guy, really appreciate these 'real talk' vlogs. You have a great open mind that is inspiring and why I enjoy watching your vids. Come say hi when you hit up Brisbane bro, would be a pleasure to meet ya! - Jamie

Mr Ben Brown You're awesome fam! Have a good day!🔥🔥😁

Dude, this was so interesting. Have you ever thought about establishing a podcast format with your Mum? :D
Loved it man
Ben's mom is a natural at vlogging I love it! 😆
Ben is such an inspiration 💕
Yeah Ben's mum is the best xD
Anais Lacombe She is!
She's great indeed!
Well, a mango tree will only bear mangoes, or to put it another way, "like mother, like son".
Two thumbs up for you Ben for tackling thru this chat the real threat that our planet is facing right now. I can't help but agree with you that before anyone say that all of these is bullshit, they should first watch the documentary Before The Flood. It's been showing up on suggested videos here in youtube for more or less a week now. Good chat!
those who don't believe that climate change is real are the real bullshit idiots
I'm giving two thumbs and two toes up for this chat vlog. more of this type of vlog Ben!

ben is such chill down to earth dude, hope i can get another chance to talk to him again during a future brownie meet up x
Thank you for using your platform mate, for carrying a message. Love the chats. Other big UA-camrs need to take note.
before the flood is such a necessary video for everyone to watch. climate change is a real problem right now and i feel that we all need to understand that.
Speaking of Visual Vibes, how is the New York City one coming along?
I think he said hes not making one as he swapped it out for the arctic one.
He also said he was to make one in LA a while back
AnthonyRichardson I think he said he didn't like the footage for the NYC and LA Visual Vibes. Plus he's trying to improve his content, especially for VV. So I'm 99.9% sure he won't be making ones for those cities.
Must have missed that announcement, thanks guys!
Good rants haha. Your mom is so right. I work just to live and I hate it. I'm still building my UA-cam channel. Hoping one day to do what you are doing. Big fan.
Bro, have you changed the settings or colour graded different here? It kind of looks like you filmed in S/C-log? Absolutely love it! Would love to know if you done anything different?
Rumour has it that when you remove Ben's Olympic cap he shuts down and deactivates...
hahaha I do love that cap :)
Wearing the cap will never be the same from now on ahah
Look up HYPERLOOP ON THE INTERNAEt

I love the home vlogs, it's a different dynamic then we are used too & you seem so refreshed at home!
loved this vlog. Ben thought it was chatty, but it just reminded me how much more of a regular person he is. Sometimes a vlog with excellent cinematography can take the reality out of the lives we're actually living.

Like these kind of vlogs every now and then, especially getting an insight into the more business side of your job
Also, I'd love to pick your brain on marketing.. have you ever considered doing like a google hangout? For those of us that can't make it to meetups?
Iris Bonet great idea!
Iris Bonet that would be awesome
23 minutes, perfect for my breakfast.
Vulpes Lagopus my bedtime story! Night shift problems 😀
Vulpes Lagopus haha Same here!
Vulpes Lagopus his chatty vlogs seems to be the longest ones. Ben, you should do more of these.
totally agree
I'm a huge fan of the talky vlogs, personally. It's really interesting to hear your perspective and admirable to see how educated you choose to be. Super inspiring, I hope to one day get to chat with you in the real lifeness!

I saw Before the flood, please take times to watch it! It's so important! Thanks Ben for your talk, it helps a lot 🌎💕
Loving me some wise words from Mama Brown and you for being so open and candid in your vlogs. You deserve all the continued success, you've earned it!! Wishing you both optimal health. 🙏💜😊
I so enjoyed the dog walk with your Mom...you are a good guy. You are already making changes just by bringing your insights to the blog..
Its good to just chat, loved it Ben!
Hey! with respect to brands/companies I wanted to share a story with you. Your videos have inspired me over the past 2-3 years since I've watched them. Your photography, videography and travels have inspired me to much to travel and accomplish my own goals in terms of learning about photography and making small videos. I recently got a job through Mobilize Jobs here in Canada which allows me to travel and pursue my hobby of photography. I had no idea you were almost an ambassador for them until I came across their youtube channel and say tons of your and Steve's and Louis' videos. I do kind of wish it was a little bit more known or shown in your videos, even in the description that you were working with them but its cool! I was super stoked to find that out. Thanks for much for the inspo!
Your travel vlogs are always great, but I love the mix between those and the chilled vibes at home in the UK!! And it's always interesting to hear what you have to say, keep killing it Ben👍🏻👊🏻
Before the Flood shows the reality of what we've done to this world. I hope people watch it and be aware of the consequences and I really hope that politicians were much more committed to stop the global warming.
Great chat Ben, thank you to talk about it in the vlog!
I really enjoy your chats. I found what your mum was saying interesting. I love my job as a filmmaker but I do find when there's a day a don't have work to do I struggle in planning what else to do. I'm getting better at it but it is a learning process.
Ben, you should look at carbon offsetting your flights. You can purchase offsets online by using a calculator to work out how much you owe depending on flight duration etc. I just started doing it with my flights between the UK and Norway. :) Good luck with your footprint reduction!
Talkie vlogs are the best! and I really enjoy seeing you with your mom and the dogs, she's so lovely!
ive been vegetarian for one year now since watching cowspiracy I like to do my part to help and i think so many more people should watch cowspiracy . have a good day
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective Ben. It truly is an amazing one and I hope more people will follow your example and strive to become better versions of ourselves. Our planet is wonderful and we have a moral obligation to ourselves to do everything we can to protect it!
Ben, what I love about your videos is your persona. Genuine, honest, courageous & curious. Not everyone is as honest with their audience as you've been & continue to be... I think it really shows how much you value us all!
Thanks for the fantastic video, looking forward to the Maldives!! #Vibes
Just curious, what is being said about the temperatures on the other planets of this solar system at this point in our time? motorcycles, land rovers, bums in jet airplanes. how wide is the angle of your lense?
I love this kind of 'talky' vlog! It's really nice to see what resonates with you Ben, and what your motivation in life is with having time to appreciate the things that matter, as well as having integrity in the marketing you do. Amazing as always:)
Yes! love these kind of vlogs once in a while. Also love to see you together just having a nice day with your mom! should do that more often my self.
A pleasant walk with a sweet mum, 2 doggies, and handsome Mr. Ben Brown's insight on life, saving the planet, and principled marketing strategies.
It's been two years since I started watching your videos, and i have to thank you for all, you have change my life in a lot of ways!!!
I don't think i've ever watched a youtube video (other than alllll of SmarterEveryDay's videos) where someone talks about a topic with such passion! I love it!
Can you do another chaty vlog about how you plan your next trip? like where you go, how much will cost, spots to take instagram photos. its much about how you plan to travel another country far away that you don't know.
Mumsy Brown is awesome. Such a sweetheart!
Good on you mate, this vlog is your medium of expression and it's good to see you speaking what's on your mind. People don't have to agree with every word that comes out of your (or anyone's) mouth to be appreciative of differing opinions. It's great to hear your support and ideas.
Was REALLY interesting learning a lot about your Mother Ben, your very lucky to have her. Great vlog keep up the amazing work bro!
a request...could you share the details of where your parents got the solar panels done from?
I'm really glad that Ben made that point about cutting down on meat (or beef specifically) - around a year or two ago I learned at university about how the meat industry is one of the worst industries in terms of destroying the environment, but I was so surprised to know that it was because of how much energy goes into feeding the animals that we eat. I had never considered becoming a vegetarian but after finding out how much of a difference it can make to our environment to cut down on meat consumption, I now have at least 5 out of 7 meat free days a week. There's a common misconception that people only turn vegetarian because of animal cruelty, but there's a much bigger picture. Cutting out meat doesn't have to be an all or nothing thing, it's so easy to ease yourself in and have one or two meat free dinners. I now feel happy with myself knowing that the majority of the time I'm doing the best I can to help our environment, whilst also knowing that I can treat myself to a steak or chicken without having to feel guilty. I think it's definitely something that more people should consider
The way you incorporate branded content is true brilliance, and that's why your content is always captivating and doesn't force the marketing aspect of it.
Love, love, love what you had to say about influencers working with brands! It's so interesting that in a world where brands are trying to appear more authentic in their storytelling, they don't let influencers have complete control over the way in which they communicate that brand to their audience.
Knowing your demographic and how to speak to them is essential and I think bad influencer/brand collabs happen when the audience isn't taken into a high consideration.
Stay golden!
Best vlog ever. Feels so good these chatty vlogs because we kind of share our ideas. While you are speaking, we are thinking in the same time and also your vlog become more engaged. Really like that. Best vlogs are when you are surrounded by your family. Love it. Keep this way man
"Really, it's being in control of my time so that when I want to, I can come on a dog walk with my mom". Brilliant! Thank you Mr. Ben Brown.
This was SOO GOOD! I love these vlogs of you talking to us like we are there with you and your mom!
My dad was a teacher here in the Dominican Republic for over 25 years, he dedicaded his whole life to teaching too so I understand your mom.
I love your content! you´re my biggest inspiration in photography and I hope one day be has good has you are.
Hey ben, it was really awesome of you to even bring up diet, some people with an audience as big as yours would shy away from it. It shows your care, and are a real thoughtful person. The closer we get to zero animals being eaten the better. It's about progress
I absolutely loved this chatty vlog! Sometimes, it's nice to slow things down and reflect on it all.
what part of Surrey do you live in? I'm in Carshalton
It is a real pleasure watching Ben's activism for the environment grow. I have watched Ben pretty much all of his UA-cam career and it is a real privilege to see how his photography and film skill set has grow but also how mature he has become in his content.
So stoked for the next Visual Vibes!
'Before the flood' was an amazing documentary, and everyone needs to see it. Thank you for mentioning it!
Before the Flood isn't free anymore on UA-cam. I still highly recommend watching it. The knowledge and impact is worth a few bucks spent.
so much respect for you, Ben. sending so much love your ways :) fun fact: literally had just finished watching the documentary before watching your vlog haha
Really enjoyed this one. I know you mentioned people possibly not liking the chattyness, but I quite enjoyed it. I get worried about getting too chatty on my vlogs too. Glad to see someone who inspires me doing it! Cheers :D
Pffffffff, Ben, I will never unsubscribe from this channel.

I love Polesden Lacey, such a great spot :) loved the chatty style vlog! I've seen Before the Flood as well and the bit on sustainable palm oil really struck me the most. Definitely going to be changing my consumer habits and only buy from companies which don't use palm oil or that get it from sustainable forms. I've also recently cut down my meat consumption massively. I don't label myself a vegetarian, but only have meat once a week, or sometimes not at all. I think what I took from the film was that without people changing their habits, the problem is only going to multiply and we have to protect our beautiful planet for generations to come so they can explore these places we take for granted! :)
These honest / rambling vlogs are great! It's important to make people think.
Nice vlog, always like seeing the dogs. I want to see more about your parent's solar panels, like are they getting a powerwall.
Loved this vlog! Yes everyone might not agree with your opinions but it is your vlog and what is important to you is what is going to reflect in your content. Glad you're putting these issues in the lime light for others to put on their radar as well.
Interesting stuff bro, should grab a coffee at Deus when your in Sydney, do a little Instagram mission!
Drones over Bondi!
Deus and drones, you know me too well!
Hey Ben, normally long chatty vlogs dont get much retention from your audience but your chat today are all so valuable and motivating at the same time. 100% retention from me :D
ben's mom should have a weekly vlog. She's such a natural
Love how a lot of you tubers care about the environment and climate change, it will help make others think about it in much more depth
Great chatty video Ben. Very valid points.
I'm transitioning to eating less meat/beef (I have a weakness for burgers), but when I buy meat I make a point to buy from local butchers rather than the grocery store. It is a. better quality, b. better for the animal, c. better for the environment, and d. doesn't even cost much more.
I'm a watcher not a commenter.
So nice to see you having a little put the world to rest moment with mum. Also talking about Sam too and Laine (also where I trained) glad she booked Wicked it's insane can't wait for your going to watch vlog!
Great honest chats about content and ads - respect 👍🏻
So true about teaching. Mumma brown has got it spot on. I'm a teacher and it takes over everything. I love it but could do with an extra weekend every week😉 as I expect lots of others could
Finally coming to Aus!! How long are you planning on being in Melbourne? Are you doing meet ups? Also so excited to see the tour!!!
Finally you're talking about substance. This I genuinely care about. Please do these 20 min vlogs once in a while where you just share your opinions about current events, life, etc. It personally makes me respect you a whole lot more. Not to say that I don't already, I love your vlogs and the work you do, mainly because I live vicariously through them (hah). At the moment I'm a very poor biology student with about 3 years left until I graduate and once I graduate I plan to travel as much as I can before starting my career/family. So I guess in a sense you've inspired me to travel, to appreciate other cultures, appreciate diverse ecology (LOVE your Africa vlogs), and appreciate the mundane tasks associated with day to day living. Thanks man.
I really did love how chatty this vlog was, it was highly inspiring and entertaining at the same time! Love you Ben!
Watching Before the Flood also hit me really hard. Glad you feel so strongly about it as well. Like you said, people need to start paying attention.
We live in amazing times. Where one can make a living with exactly his passions
I also watched Before the Flood and it had great impact on me. I am really grateful that there are people like you and share it further The future is in hands of all of us and actually any step we take we will see the outcome.
Great vlog on all accounts! A different vibe but just as relaxing and motivating. I'm in my first year of teaching having graduated last year and completely doubting my choice of career as it has taken over my life. Really reassuring to hear your mum's point of view on it... makes me feel better knowing that it's not just me! I don't think I'll be continuing with the job after this year but I will leave the job having the greatest respect for teachers.
I love your comments on the new documentary! I watched a few days ago and it was mind changing even though my family and are already very aware and focused on our way of living.
@Mr Ben Brown, i LOVE your cap bro! where can i get it?
I watched and listened to your entire chat.You are such a honest person,sharing every aspect of your to the world takes a lot of courage and I very much appreciate that from you. Cheers mate !
I enjoy it when you do Vlogs like these Ben, It give's me great encouragement to do more as an individual. when you share your views and be honest with us. 👍🏽
Great chat Ben, such a positive and down to earth, humble guy, really appreciate these 'real talk' vlogs. You have a great open mind that is inspiring and why I enjoy watching your vids. Come say hi when you hit up Brisbane bro, would be a pleasure to meet ya! - Jamie
