What is the most impactful video/series on the channel for you?
This is a tricky one for me since there were so many videos and series that have made an impact on me for different reasons, but I think the video that left the biggest impact on me was Far From Noise because during the time the video came out, I was going through stress at school and constantly worrying about my future, but that video helped me realize that I need to step back, and breathe, and also his speech at the end made me burst into tears because it was something I needed to hear, and it made me feel a lot better. It was also the video I introduced my mom to Jack with and after the video ended she grew to like him and found him inspiring.
The series that made an impact on me would probably have to be Night in the Woods because of how much I related to the characters, especially Mae due to her struggles in college. I was also the series that got me to start watching Jack daily, since before, I was only watching videos that I found interesting.
When did you join the community?
I officially joined the community on February 26th, 2016, just a month after my friend introduced me to Jack with, That Dragon Cancer.
How do you think Sean has evolved from the quiet young adult in the cabin until now?
I’m amazed at how much Seán has grown over the last six years, he’s definitely grown from this quiet boy living in that cabin, to a man who has more confidence in himself, and has learned to take better care of himself. He’s accomplished so much this year alone, from meeting people he looks up to, to making PMA a household name for the community, to taking better care of his mental health. And even after all that time, with a channel that is still growing, he’s still that sweet, down to Earth, and caring person we’ve grown to love when we first started watching his videos.
What do you like most about the community/channel?
I love the togetherness that the community has for each other, it feels more like a family rather than a fandom, and sure we have our ups and downs, but we still manage to get out of the downs and support and care for each other and Seán.
What do you like most about Sean?
I love how kind, caring, and humble Seán is to us, whenever I see him meet others at conventions, the tour, or out in public, it always amazes me how much he cares about them, listening to them when they talk to him, and giving them genuine hugs, it makes my heart full everytime. I also love his positive outlook on things, as well as knowing that we can’t be positive all the time and that’s okay too.
Tell your story about how you have changed as a person or grown since you started watching!
Before I started watching Seán’s videos, I had just transferred from my first college to the one I’m currently in after my first semester. Those few months that I was there were probably the worst I’ve had in a very long time, I was the most stressed, and anxious in that school, and I couldn’t make friends, leaving me completely alone, and my grades suffered because of it. When I was introduced to Jack, I was already doing much better at the college I transferred to, but even so, Seán helped me be a more positive person since I wasn’t the most optimistic person a few years back, even now could still be a bit of a struggle, but it’s definitely an improvement since then. I’ve also been happier since I started watching his channel, whether it’s from having something to look forward to everyday, having more inspirations for sculpting, or having more encouragement to be myself. Of course there are still some things that I need to work on for myself, but I don’t know where I would be right now without Seán and the community in my life. So thank you Jack for everything you do, and congratulations on six years of YouTube, here's to six more.
