Jason Stephenson is changing lives across the world by giving people the spiritual support to tackle emotional and physical challenges. When he checked into a monastic retreat during a difficult period of his life, meditation was the ‘aha’ moment Jason needed to turn everything around. Feeling motivated and renewed, he started sharing guided meditations, visualisations and inspirational talks on YouTube. Jason’s intention in every video he posts is to help just one person live a more peaceful, calm and rested life. With three channels, two businesses and a full-time team behind him now, he’s well and truly achieved that and is supporting the wellbeing of people across the globe.

Brinkley Davies invites Aussies to discover and appreciate the beauty hiding in their own backyard by showcasing the country’s beautiful oceans and wildlife. The South Australian nature-lover’s outdoor and adventure videos also help shine an international spotlight on unique destinations across Australia. Brinkley has built her career on observing, not interfering. She always takes a backseat to her surroundings and lets the beauty of the destination speak for itself in her videos. Her unique approach has attracted partnerships with the likes of Tourism Australia to help encourage Aussies to travel after border restrictions eased.
YouTube has allowed people from other cultures to virtually experience some of the amazing places and wildlife we have here in Australia, which is, right now, a special thing as many people cannot travel.
Mark and John deCaux are teaching Aussies how to bee-keep by sharing their own learning journey on YouTube. With Mark in-front of the camera and John behind the lens, the father and son duo break down the basics of bee-keeping in their simple and easy-to-follow videos. As one of the few Australian channels dedicated to bee-keeping, Mark’s true Aussie sense of humour and attitude is making the hobby more accessible to their audience and helping others learn at their own pace. They’re using the international attention to drive sales for their homemade honey and other online products, but they say the best thing to come from their videos is the quality time spent together.
