There are a lot of ideas and inspirations I soak up from the people I watch, the authors I read from, and the artists I research. This guy is one of the best.
Casey Neistat is a filmmaker and vlogger who has proven to be one of the most motivated, dedicated, and resilient people in the creative technology realm today. I fell upon his YouTube videos one day, and have been hooked ever since.
Casey has worked in advertising, partnering with corporations like Nike and Mercedes Benz.
With his sense of humor and constant creative ambitions, Casey’s videos never get boring.
Casey’s stories of overcoming seemingly permanent obstacles have inspired so many, including me, to reach for my dreams and develop a “no excuses” approach to their (and my) goals. Here are some of his coolest and most memorable quotes (some I’m sure he borrowed).
Free time of the enemy of progress.
If you’re in the right place, there is no boss.
The most dangerous thing you can do in life is play it safe.
If you’re doing what everyone else is doing, you’re doing it wrong.
Being nice takes work. That’s why I really like people who are nice.
Without a goal, you can’t score.
Work hard and be brave.
Our job as creators is to further define any medium.
A shared life is a great life.
I’ve started from the very beginning of his YouTube career, so I’m still behind on his vlogs, but you can check out his recent stuff by clicking here.
