And here we go with another text with tips on what to watch on the biggest content platform on the internet.
You know that YouTube is the fastest, most practical, and fun way to consume good online content.
Not only that, YouTube is truly different from other social channels on the internet.
YouTube content really adds immeasurable value to our lives many times.
And I’m not talking about things that are so complex. A simple video on how to fix your bike tire, I already consider it to be content that genuinely changes lives.
But I’m here to share with you the YouTube channels that add value to my life, with influencers who are entrepreneurs and lead a healthy, creative, productive life, always striving to progress daily.
These types of videos inspire me to keep pursuing my goals, even on those bad days.
And that’s why I’m here to also simplify your search, highlighting the nine most incredible channels that offer valuable insights, practical tips, and regular doses of motivation to help you thrive on your personal journey.
Let’s go!
1) Life of Riza
One of the recent great revelations in producing content specifically for YouTube, Riza’s channel offers an extremely creative perspective on life.
For those who enjoy vlogs, storytelling, and creativity, this channel exceptionally delivers all of that.
Moreover, she provides valuable tips for content creators, ranging from how to plan videos, organize content production tasks, shoot b-rolls, and equipment, and so forth.
As a fan of vlogs, I can confirm that this is one of those channels where, after finishing watching a video, you immediately feel inspired to continue on your mission.
And it’s undoubtedly entertaining.
2) Vuhlandes
And speaking of creativity, especially for content creators, here’s the channel that brings us numerous insights on how to progress in this career.
Vuhlandes has been documenting his daily life for years, and throughout his experience, he has learned primarily how to film alone. Yes, he shows us in detail how a creative mind thinks when planning and producing content. How to film oneself, how to set up scenes, how to tell stories, how to be creative in content without needing to spend money.
If you want to open your mind and understand how video makers think and execute their work, this channel comes highly recommended!
3) Lingua Marina
Well, I’m Brazilian, and therefore, my native language is Portuguese. But we know that without English nowadays, it’s impossible to expand your career and even to consume much more significant content for our lives.
And when I started studying English on my own, this channel was responsible for bringing me the confidence, willingness, and energy to continue learning and improving a second language in my life.
Yes, Marina teaches you in detail everything you need to know to improve your English professionally. From grammar and vocabulary to job interview tips, day-to-day work, professional networking, and so on.
Marina is the founder of Linguatrip and has extensive experience in startups and the Silicon Valley lifestyle. And on her channel, she conveys all of this in a practical and enjoyable way.
I confess it’s a differentiated channel from the others that teach you English, precisely because it has this entrepreneurial approach, a true businesswoman.
If you want to improve your language skills, mainly focused on the business world, then this is the channel for you!
4) Bloomberg Originals
If you’re an entrepreneur, I’m sure you already know this channel, hehe.
But if you don’t, you need to check out Bloomberg Originals.
A channel that blends success stories, failures, planning, and business plans with future market and human behavior forecasts, comprehensive guides, documentaries, and interviews… a channel brimming with creativity and innovation.
Without a doubt, this is one of the channels that provides me with the most insights as soon as I finish watching any of its videos.
With impeccable production and truly dedicated individuals behind the scenes, Bloomberg Originals, in my opinion, is the best business-focused channel on YouTube.
5) Casey Neistat
And if we have one of the best business channels on YouTube on the list, we also have one of the best vlog channels on YouTube!
If you enjoy watching the day-to-day lives of creative individuals to better understand how they think and execute, then this is the best channel for that.
You probably already know the famous Casey Neistat, one of the biggest and longest-standing content creators on YouTube. Casey fearlessly showcases how he thinks and creates his content in a way that, in my opinion, is very creative.
Storytelling and creativity are what you’ll find on this channel. And consequently, entrepreneurship and business, hehe.
6) Think Media
We’ve been talking a lot about vlogging and content production, but we haven’t discussed the behind-the-scenes yet.
How do you produce mind-blowing content? How do you think, plan, and create videos that will engage and deliver results? How do you market this content? What do you need to start and scale your content production?
Well, all these questions are expertly answered on the Think Media channel!
This channel blends digital business with a focus on content production, whether on YouTube or social media, and digital marketing in the best way possible.
They are subject matter experts, providing you with incredibly rich content on how to advance in your career, completely free of charge.
Yes, in my opinion, the content on this channel here could be sold in an online course, mentorship, or even a workshop, costing a few dollars a year.
Top-notch content. Top-notch experts. Top-notch information for your life.
7) Jay Shetty
Missed having podcasts on the list?
Well then, here’s a podcast that I guarantee will bring you light, calmness, inspiration, and valuable insights for your life.
We all have moments when we love working hard when we only think about work and just want to get things done.
But we also all have moments when we don’t even want to turn on the computer. When we’re discouraged with work and even life itself.
Jay’s channel, without a doubt, is the channel I recommend when we need a light in our lives.
His podcast brings motivational stories without beating around the bush or being overly fancy. At the same time, it provides valuable information for our lives, whether it’s mental, spiritual, or physical health tips, or advice on how to rest, recover, and find daily inspiration.
This was one of the first video podcasts I found to be different simply because it brings stories similar to ours, and that’s why I had a very strong connection with this channel.
I recommend it for any situation and day of your life.
8) Andrew Huberman
And to make the most of the podcast channel recommendations, I bring you another great podcast that can impact our lives (in a positive way).
Andrew Huberman brings us a whole health experience, which is truly valuable for our lives.
The richness of his content is impressive, and as I mentioned earlier, it’s completely free.
His videos teach us how to stay healthy, how to practice better habits in our lives, how to stay motivated and productive, how to optimize our cognitive functions, how to improve our memory, how to find our purpose, and so on.
There’s a lot of good stuff in just one channel. And I’ll go further and say, of all the channels on this list, this channel in my opinion is the one that can (and will) truly change your life.
Believe me, and give Andrew Huberman’s channel videos a chance.
9) Chris Bumstead
And to wrap up the list, here’s a channel with a very particular taste, but one that I recommend to anyone who enjoys a productive, healthy, resilient, and focused lifestyle.
For those who don’t know, I love sports and have been practicing bodybuilding for over 15 years.
Sports as a whole, but especially bodybuilding, have taught me things that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
In the gym, you learn discipline, resilience, humility, perseverance, and so on.
You learn to do what needs to be done, even when you don’t want to do it. You learn to have patience and respect for the process; things don’t happen overnight.
You learn to organize yourself to have a more productive, healthier day.
Anyway, only those who train or practice some high-intensity sport know how much these things teach us about life.
And here we have the channel of 3x Mr. Olympia, Chris Bumstead.
With the mindset of a true athlete, an unparalleled focus, and a strict and organized routine, CBum records vlogs showing in detail his day-to-day life.
Another type of channel and content, in my opinion, is extremely valuable. Where else would we have the opportunity to daily (literally) follow the life of a champion?
That, I guarantee you, is only on YouTube!
