I’ve watched yours and Zoe’s videos since I was about 10, I’m now 17 and feel like I’ve grown up with you and know you guys better than some of the people in my life! It’s crazy to think how RU-vid videos can feel that way. It’s so nice to see who Ottie is growing into and seeing you guys finally being parents as I think most people would agree you were meant to be! I’m usually a silent viewer, but thought I would drop a comment as you said about how good the community of people watching you is atm and wanted to be a part of it!
If I could do anything, impossible to fail, I honestly would continue on the exact path I’m on now. Following my dreams and living my best life truly. I’m a student studying for my dream career (paramedic science) and I honestly wouldn’t change it for the world. Wanted to be a paramedic since as long as I can remember and to finally be in the final stages before being fully qualified is just insane to think about - I’m only 1 year and a half away which is crazy. I don’t think people realise how far they have actually came and taking the time to reflect is just so important! Especially if your having a bad day, just remember how far you came.
I started watching Zoe when she was 19 too, been here for nearly 14 years! I’ve grown up watching you both, don’t think I have ever missed a video. I had my 1st baby in September 2021, 2 weeks after Ottie was born and it’s been amazing to watch Ottie grow as my little boy is growing too! And on that, if it was impossible to fail, I would start up my very own business, so that I could support my little boy forever and give him the best life, knowing it would never fail!!
I am getting emotional watching this, but I was 8 when I started watching you and Zoe, and now I’m 20 years old. I can’t even explain what your Vlogs in Zoe‘s vlogs mean to me. They have gotten me through some of the roughest times of my life. No matter how upset I feel or anxious. If I put on your Vlog or one of Zoe’s old videos, it honestly relieves all of my anxiety and just makes me feel happy and comfortable as ridiculous as that may sound and I hope that one day I can meet you. You both just provide the ultimate comfort, and I think I will watch your vlogs old and new forever.
I'm 62 and have been watching both you and Zoe for 10 years .I love your energy ,your family values and your zest to always do better .I have my 4daughters watching u both as well lol xx
Been watching your videos (and Zoe's) since 2013, a little bit more than 10 years now I can't believe it! I'm 28 years old, so those years are like a good chunk of my teenage/early adult hood years and I honestly couldn't be more proud of the journey :) I'm so proud of who you guys have become
It's insane how long many of us have followed/watched you for! Been watching you guys since 2012 and its safe to say sooo much has changed since! Greetings from Colombia :)
I'm still watching... I feel you guys have had the most consistent supporters through the years and it's amazing how you have still maintained the authenticity you began with. Yours and Zoe's videos will always feel like home. ❤️
In answer to your question at the start of the video, I'd like to walk unaided and without pain. Do something that comes natural to most of the people in the world but is difficult for others. If I could wake up tomorrow and walk without needing an aide, that would be my greatest achievement. By the way, Future self coffee is INCREDIBLE!!! I make my favourite brown sugar cooler with it.... 2 shots of coffee, 5ml of sugar free brown sugar syrup, topped with soya milk and tons of crushed ice! Makes me salivate just thinking of it but I've had my 2 coffee allowance today 😂😂
Honestly it’s just so nice to see both of your lives throughout the years and grow with you and see how you handle situations that are relatable! Thank you for all your years of content 😊
I’m using a silent watcher, but I just wanted to comment and say you both are such wonderful parents and should be so proud of yourselves for everything you do for Ottie and the life yous are building! - you both have been my go to people since I was 9, in 2013 and I’m turning 19 this year - you really are my role models! if I was going to succeed in anything in life it would be my A Levels as I am going into Nursing to make a difference to people’s lives ❤
both my dad and my brother have always been super outdoorsy and are really good at mountain biking and skiing and i have always struggled, especially with mountain biking, to get good at it. i always have dreams where i’m biking or skiing or skateboarding and i’m so good and i wake up wishing it was real. this past season i’ve been skiing A LOT and have grown to love it so much, so i guess if i could just be really really good at skiing… but i also have been loving the learning process and i think the most satisfying thing about learning something new is seeing your progress and i feel that skiing has been the first thing i can actually see myself getting better at every time and wanting to push myself. so it’s hard to say if i would sacrifice that learning period to just be good at it, but i hope to someday get there.
Love watching your videos . I watched you with my kids who are all grown up now ,Ottie is so beautiful, enjoy this time its a lovely time when their small and everything is an adventure to them .Many blessing to you and Zoe and Ottie
Still watching! Ive been watching you and Zoe since I was in elementary school lol - now im about to finish my freshman year of college!! I love that I've been able to grow with your videos and just like how you get to watch back your old videos and reminisce, I can literally watch back your old videos and remember what grade I was in when it came out - so crazy. Love what youre doing!!!
I would star in a play on the West End or on Broadway. A professional production! That would be such a blast and something I could mark off my bucket list. ❤ I love theater so much but it is difficult to make a living doing it.
still watching alfie :) and so agree about documenting memories, that's one thing we always say with my bf to take more pictures and film more stuff because it's so fun to look through them in a couple years time!
If it was impossible to fail....I would finish uni and then start my own small business selling my art, greeting cards, posters etc and I would love to have my own studio space so I could give art classes to little kids 🥺💕
I would finally open my little coffee shop bakery with a library attached. I’ve been watching Zoe since I was 13 (I’m almost 23) but just about 4 years ago started watching your videos. I love watching Ottie grow, my daughter is 10 months younger and it’s so cool being able to see how quickly she’ll go from how she is now to how Ottie is. It goes so fast.
I watched you both since before you got together and love to watch 40 min vlogs till now haha! I'm from Israel and you inspired me to travel to Brighton. I flew with my husband last week to England and it was such a dream to chill in Brighton beach and live the videos I've been watching for years! Your town is so chill and artistic, I fell in love.
I think the most important to me would have been to never fail at “motherhood” as my son is everything to me. Thinking further about it, it came to me that failure, and learning from it, is so important in life. Thank you for sharing your content with us. Your family is truly precious!
I’m still watching! I had a bit of a going back through everyone’s videos not long ago. I miss all the challenges and fun games everyone use to play. Those were the best.
I have started watching Alfie and Zoe when I was about 14. I wanted to learn English as it is not my native language. I found your videos incredibly motivating. Now I am 22 and use English at work, I watch films and read books in English, so massive thank you for your videos that had helped me a lot!
Been watching you and zoe since i was 14-15 and just turned 23, feel so lucky to have been able to follow along and watch you and your family grow ❤ sending lots of love from finland 🇫🇮❤ (and yes, watched til the end 😉)
I remember watching your videos years ago!!! And if impossible to fail would be open a restaurant and bar!! I have wanted to for so long but don’t have the money or confidence.
I watched the whole video, I’ve been watching you and Zoe since I was 11 years old I’m about to be 23 and I love going back and watching your guises old videos because it takes me back to the place where I was in my childhood watching those videos with my sister
I remember watching your videos as a kid, throughout school! I remember the vidcon vlogs being my absolute favourite, I still revisit them to this day for the same reasons you’ve just described, it bring back so many memories of that time in my life! I remember queuing for hours in the Metro Centre to get my Pointless book signed, and dragging my mum along, and that was how many years ago now? 7 or 8? And for context, I’m just about to graduate, and turn 21. That’s coming up to a solid 10 years! Reminiscing the Pointless Blog days!
Being parents looks so good on both of you! I think of this very often when watching both of your videos! A few months before you guys had Ottie I had my daughter and was so excited to see you guys go through parenting at the same time I am
If it was impossible to fail I would plan a trip around the world with my friends and travel for a year. I moved abroad about a year ago and it has opened my eyes to so many beautiful cultures and people, so I cannot wait to explore even more!
If it was impossible to fail…. I would 10000% start my little business idea making things to sell online… had the ideas since 2013 but feel overwhelmed and just don’t think I can do it!
I’m still watching and have watched your videos all the way through for about 10 years. I was 18 when I first started watching Zoe and I’m 31 now! Wild to me
I watch you and zoe since I was 14, Am now 25🫣 i just broken my ankle so am home in bed for the next 5 weeks sooo I been binging old videos of your vlogs and it gives me so much joy!! Much love ❤
Im still here. If it was impossible to to fail, I would be doing theater. I would be acting, costume constructing, and scenic painting my heart out. Is also be more adventurous and helpful in my husband’s contractions business. I’m still working toward these goals. Just a bit slower than I like.
Hii Alfie, firstly I just wanna say that I've been watching your videos since I was like 13 and it has been a pleasure to grow with you and zoe but also to now watch your daughter grow up and grow with your family as a viewer! Ottilie is such a force and sometimes I tend to rewatch both yours and zoe's videos because ottie just makes me smile haha, the cutest little thing ever! To answer your question, something that I would do if it were impossible to fail would probably be like extreme adventure sports because in this case, it would be without ANY risks. Also, take bigger risks in my career or even start my own marketing agency!
To answer your question - I would love to start up my own cafe business! Like you, I am a coffee lover but I also just love being around and serving people in my community! I would love to have a successful business that helps out other small businesses in town such as a local farmer who provides the produce for the food or selling plants from the local nursery. I'd want to create a space where you can pick up a good book, get some great food and drinks, meet some amazing people, and pick up a nice little plant on your way out. If there was no risk of failure I would do that for sure!
If it was impossible to fail I’d move to Korea and have a stable life there. I’ve been watiching your videos since 2015/16 and I love seeing how much you and Zoe have grown. I’ve also grown with you and I’m really grateful for that. Back in the day your videos helped me a lot with my English and becoming fluent, so thanks once again!
Silent watcher here :) like many others, I’ve been watching yours and Zoe’s videos for so many years. I remember when I was 14, I told my mother I wanted to become a RU-vidr growing up. Many years have passed since then (I’m now 23), and I’ve finally begun uploading baking content! Initially, my answer to your question was going to be starting up a bakery-which is still an absolute dream of mine…But the more thought I gave it, I realized I wanted to make it big on RU-vid. You’ve inspired me to continue my initial dream as a young girl by pursuing my RU-vid channel. Hopefully I can inspire others to bake through my own recordings 😊
I've been watching since 2012 and ever since haven't missed a video from u and Zoe :) I just told the other day that I feel like u guys are my friends :D Also, I got a baby boy 1 month after Ottie was born and it feels so nice to watch them growing up and they are so alike :D If it was impossible to fail, I'd start a business to fight the climate change, as I am so passionate about protecting the earth and making it a better place for our kids
if it was impossible to fail, i'd aim to build my own record label and chain of music studios across the world. But for the meantime, i think i'll stick to studying music production & engineering, and working more in the music industry!
The first video i ever watched of zoe was the one with caspar lee …when she had a black and white striped shirt on 🥰 this video made me cry, i remember flying to london from stockholm to go to your book signing. The nostalgic feeling i just got… 🥲🥰
I've been watching you and Zoe since... I wanna say a year before you get Nala or something like that. I have always related to Zoe's personality and point of view so watching her was like visualize my dream life. But, although nowadays her vlogs still give me those soft cozy vibes, for a couple of years I get more and more in tune with your reflexions and mindset, the questions you make to yourself and to us in the vlogs they click in my head so hard... So yeah, I think in different ways you both have such a positive influence in my life :) Thank you for that
On the plain white wall in your office you should get someone to paint the squiggly line from Future Self Coffee just along the middle of the wall. Not explained. No other branding, just the squiggle. Would look so cool.
if it were impossible to fail, i’d start my own yoga and pilates business back in australia. i’d lived in australia my whole life, up until this year where i’d moved to italy with my boyfriend
I am still watching! I been watching Zoe and yours videoer sinde 2014. Its crazy in jube its 9 yeaes i been watching you guys. The best thing to Watch ❤.
If it's impossible to fail, I think nothing major would change in my life. What I am currently trying to achieve is my biggest goal in life, it was everything I ever dreamed of. Yes, I am eaten up by fear, my insecurities sometimes get to me, the entire process is extremely challenging, but for the first time in life, i am proud to sty that fear didn't stop me. (And yes still watching till the end xx)
I want to teach my son who has autism eye contact. Don’t get me wrong he is the most incredible little boy who loves life. He has open my eyes to a whole new way of thinking and I’m lucky to be his mom. He struggles with eye contact and I wish I could understand him more and he could look me in the eyes when he says I love you. But I’ll never give up on him and will be there for the struggles and for the triumphs .
Just last week I did the exact same, your 24hr trampoline park video randomly popped up in my suggestions.... and from there I went down the rabbit hole and watched like 6 straight old vlogs 😅 I was 16 and still in school at that time, now I’m in my penultimate year of Law School. Crazy how quick time can go and how much can change.
I’m still watching! If I could do anything and not fail I’d find myself a husband 😂, move to somewhere in Europe preferably England (currently living in Mississippi 🤦🏼♀️), start my own Interior Design firm before I turn 25, get rich, have a family, and be friends with you and Zoe!😁
i’m still watching! if i couldn’t fair, i think i’d take my a levels early and then go straight into working in biochemistry. it’s what i really want to do so i want to start asap :)
I'm still watching, I always have been the one to watch the video until it's over. If it was impossible to fail, what Id do is be you. Now no not take you out of the picture and take your place but as you talked about in the end of the video reflecting on your older vlogs. I have watched you since the beginning, I started watching Zoe because my sister did and she told me that she and Joe reminded her of the two of us. That is when I was introduced to you and the whole old crew and I was so jealous, but like in a good way like I was happy you got to live this life but I wished I did too. Now I know you'll NEVER see this but I know someone will and chances are you feel the same way if you watched the old vlogs of when everyone would go to vidcon together or something like that and you wanted nothing more than to be a part of that friend group. When you look at it now and at the other people on YT when you all were starting and compare your guy's group to the others and you can see that it was actually as genuine as it seemed as a viewer because you all are still friends from a far sure but for example your video with Marcus the other week, it was a throwback and it felt JUST like it used too although it had been however long since you two were in the same video together. I wish I had that, I wish I was as happy and as successful from doing something I so enjoyed and loved doing, something that gave me pleasure and not just money. So yeah if it wasn't possible to fail I'd go back in time and be a part of your group and experience everything you got to experience good and bad because it made the two of you two beautifully amazing people and WONDERFUL loving parents to a beautiful little version of you two combined! So in a way I am saying that as a way of just saying thank you, you have no idea the impact on our lives you have had just by making these silly little videos of you making chocolate or when you bought the candy floss machine in the old house and the way you always sat down on the floor in front of the couch and talked to the camera so genuine it honestly felt like you were talking to me. It walked me back from the ledge more times than I'll ever care to admit...
I’m still watching, have been watching since I was 12. I’m now nearly 25! And I’ve even had my own two kids, first one a week before ottie was born, crazy how time flies 😂
I’m still here! Also if I knew I couldn’t fail I would become a business owner! It’s something im tiptoeing but finally taking the plunge when I change careers so I’ll have a higher hourly wage and be able to hopefully work on creating my brand!!
What I would do if I knew I couldn't fail is to go to medical school to try and become a doctor. I've been thinking about it for years now but I've been too afraid of failure.. and then I realized that if I don't even try then there's a 100% chance that I'll fail, but if I give it a chance, I might just succeed! So I'm starting this year! I just don't want to end up with regrets of not having dared to try! :)
If it was impossible to fail, I'd love to start streaming on Twitch. I love gaming, the gaming community and just interacting with people on Twitch, so that would be super cool!
@15:15 still watching 😁. "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?" That is an excellent question, but thinking about it I come to the conclusion that I always begin things without thinking about whether it will work or not. If it looks like something is going to fail then I just adjust it or myself during the process.
Impossible to fail = finacial security for our family so me and my husband can pursue our dreams without the dreaded fear (I'm studying to be a midwife & he would love to open a cool garage with food, tattoo parlour, barbers, drinks vibe) AND to add im an OG Zoe fan, im 35 now and only started watching your content on here and insta maybe a year or so ago. I find it very soothing, I love the style, like listening to your views and the way its edited together its very aesthetically pleasing. Thank you 🥰
If it was impossible to fail, I would move to London straight away. I live in the north east of England and it’s not that I’m scared to move, it’s how I could afford it. I would also continue following all my dreams of my RU-vid channel becoming more successful, and I just started a podcast so hoping that goes well too!
Still watching! I haven't commented in a long time but I have been watching you and Zoe since 2013 which is crazy to me. I sometimes reminisce watching your older vlogs too! To answer your question.. If it would be impossible to fail I would love to buy a house in a few years with my boyfriend ❤
Still watching…and have been for over a dacade. Starting watching mostly zoe’s videos but for the last few years i have found your videos so inspirational. I loved your colab on vlogmas. ❤️ I have noticed you starting to wear some very cool jewellery lately. Could you maybe make a segment about it in a video? I’m very curious since i’m a bench jeweler myself (in Denmark).
