Hey Matt! I know this is kinda late, but I think it's still due of me to say something still — never to late for more support! I literally just found you guys as I was watching videos on youtube about 2 weeks ago, and I binge watched so many videos that I feel as though I've know you guys for years. Well, as I continued watching, I started hearing comments about you leaving or I clicked on the video of the London taxi driving across Europe, and you show up out of nowhere. They say you had been gone for a year already. I was like, "Whoa whoa whoa!! I just got here what's going on?!?" Then I looked into it. Yup, Matt's leaving. In such a short time I went from not knowing Yes Theory existed to having an amazing, genuine love and appreciation for everyone of you guys. Thank you for what you've done– all the hard work and effort put into inspiring people to push beyond their limits, to find comfort in discomfort, peace in life's chaos. I support you in what you are doing. You've inspired people, you've helped them grow, and now its time to do a little of that for yourself as well. Best of luck to you on your next chapter of life. God bless!!

Ps. I dont know what you have planned in life next but maybe you could get into beekeeping! I'm one myself. And just being around bees is beneficial to the brain, so is a sting every once in a while. The frequencies emitted by the hive's buzzing has even helped in healing PTSD! I think i saw in a video that you're vegan. Well, I dont know if you're a vegan that eats honey or not (the difference between vegan for health or vegan more for the animals) but it's an amazing experience to get into the bees and spend time outside, and you can get some honey from it as well. Maybe sell some products at a farmers' market. It's a lot of fun– definitely worth looking into!! Ok bye fr this time.

What a privilege to take the opportunity of doing it different and honour your life and connections, by saying your goodbyes, not an opportunity you get always, I’m glad you took it, you beautiful soul, I was present, with you, while listening and watching you, so I feel the connection and I feel you, thank you and ULTREIA

Hey Matt, it's so crazy to think that I literally found you guys' YouTube when you were just starting out and after all these years I still have yet to meet any of you. Reading this I couldn't be more happy for you to be going your own way and doing your own thing. It's sad to say good bye, but I am a firm believer that it is never a good bye but a "see ya later". Super excited to read your book and your personal newsletter! KEEP BEING AWESOME AND WE'LL SEE YA LATER!

Hey! Matt. You have inspired me in a lot of ways. Just like you I've been struggling. I just want to say thank you for sharing your thoughts/stories with us. I am so excited for your book. I hope and pray that one day I could be given a chance to read it. From Project 30 to Yes theory, from a small room to a cummity, it's a truty amazing to witness all the changes you've embrace. As one of your avid followers this me saying, from thousand of islands away thank you for inspiring me/us your followers. I just hope one day I could afford to have a copy of your book once it released and a memorabilia of discomfort collection. Which I know it's impossible to happen 😞. Anyways. Thank YOU!! Matt. IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! 👏 and CONGRATS in advance. Love youuu from islands away 😍

Matt, you have been my fav to follow in Yes Theory. You guys have changed how I view life's adventures and meeting strangers. Thank you for everything you have done to help us open up our worlds! You all have helped this 57 yr old work on a dream, it's business plan and on to the next step of reaching into the venture capital world to make the dream reality. Thank you and I wish you all the best on all your endeavors!

Oh Matt!

You absolute sweetheart, it has been so great reading your newsletters and getting to know you on a deeper level (I know its been a while, but I get we all need our time and space at times)

Every time Yes Theory communicates I feel how truly authentic and open it is (idk if this is the place to share that thought, but oh well)

Anyways Matt, can’t wait to hear more!

Love you deeply!

I also want to express gratitude for Yes Theory. At 52, I made 107 m hight bungee jump with my 21 year old son last July...and to find the inner strenght took me 3 real mn & some wim hof breathing...& I can still hear my son encouraging me saying "Remember Yes Theory! Courage! You can do it, mum!

So thank u all for reminding me how to overcome fear...and chose Love & Freedom.

Be blessed!

Very touching, especially the part when you talk about the times you cried "for no reason".

But I keep asking myself: What are you gonna do after leaving Yes Theory? Maybe you already answered it somewhere,but I don't know.

I am not a writer so I will keep this brief. Before it becomes too far detached, I want to extend a thank you. To you, Thomas, and everyone at yes theory. I haven’t watched y’all in quite some time, but I was there in the beginning, and your mission has impacted me more than I can express. Your ideas have changed me from the shy kid with no friends as a freshman in high school, to an entrepreneur who went back to that school to speak to the kids sitting in the same seat I was years ago. Please express my thanks to the team, especially the original guys if you’d be so kind as to reach out to them for me.

Thank you for teaching me to say yes to living, loving, and helping to build a world I am proud to be a part of.

This is so sad to read 🥺 I totally empathise with you because i’m 28 and every year since i was born we travelled from the UK to see my family in Iran and saying goodbye to a world full of love, excitement, joy, endless family gatherings etc it never got easier, it just broke my heart even more as i grew up and valued my family and family time more and more! You should always do what feels like is the right thing for you, regardless of what anyone else thinks and so we all support you! We secretly wish you won’t leave yes theory totally though you are the OG haha! 🫶🏻⚡️💙 also thank you so much for early november in denmark my friend was at a meetup there and he recorded you wishing me a happy birthday , IT MADE MY DAY!! (I was the girl that did a 75+ birthday meetup in paris november 2019)
