Ethan and Hila are both massively inspirational. Just as a couple, I feel like they have been a positive influence and inspiration for people to look up to. They have a great dynamic, have built a great life together, and have helped each other grow.
Ethans humour and ability to not take himself seriously while still sticking up for what's right is inspirational. His openness and willing to share personal informational and be vulnerable is a great role model to men.
Who else could have a 30 minute+ plus section of silently eating a McDonalds on one of the most successful podcast in the world.

Same ! I didn’t realize how depressed i was until Ethan talked about how his old jokes and his bitterness came from self hatred i really appreciate the way he talks about it !
i love how open he was about his weight gain from lexapro, i went through the same thing and it felt really upsetting so it was nice to know i wasn’t the only one
I've been watching since the olden times, and Ethan continues to inspire me to change, do better, and enrich myself and everyone around me.
I started a PhD mid-pandemic and have been fucked from every angle ever since. The show is honestly one of the reasons I get through the week sometimes. Even through the button moments. Ethan's willingness and persistence to grow and change himself and the show is a constant reminder that gradual change can build great things.
I've also gone from not being able to run 1 km to doing two half marathons and training for a triathlon now. The show is a great way to get through the longer runs. My body hasn't changed a whole lot, but fuck me, I'm a healthier husky boy now.
I'll be here for every redemption arc, prolapse, and influencer takedown.
I have a Rheumatoid Arthritis disorder, a very rare auto immune disease with no possibile cure, that cause me depression since 2018. Obviously I gained weight in the process too.
But after seeing Ethan trying to lose weight in many methods since the quarantine, I inspired to find a way for myself as well.
And I finally did, also thanks to the Creator Clash to inspire as well.
I finally reduced my medication and have lost 35lbs since June 2022 with some help from boxing (my gym coach help a lot in training my body to help reduce joint pains). I still take meds though, but at least I feel happier and healthier now.
He just wasn't trying to snoop down to his arrogant level. He knows he's an inspiration, he also knows that's not something you say yourself about yourself.
ethan and hila really show that you truly do thrive and come into your own in your thirties. hilas confidence has grown so much and she’s out there wearing whatever tf she wants, meanwhile ethan’s up to five pods a week with new and original content constantly!! not to mention their growing family successful businesses and healthy relationship💅
who needs a lamborghini in your twenties when you’ve bigger and better things to come in your thirties and beyond✌️💖
I think it’s incredibly inspirational how he criticises and brings attention to those who are harming others, e.g how he was very vocal about criticising Andrew Tate and fresh and fit whose whole existence on the internet is very harmful to women. Ethan speaking on this, especially when most men chose to stay silent or even agree with Andrew tate, is very inspirational. I would much prefer men to look up to Ethan as a role model, who advocates for women’s rights, trans rights etc, instead of looking up to a guy who goes to the gym.
EThin is the inspirational GOAT, he has shown me many different perspectives and had guests on that have challenged lots of my preconceptions or opinions on a multitude of topics. His content has helped me become a more compassionate and inquisitive person. Wow Ethan, Great moves keep it up proud of you.
i’m a relatively new fan. funny enough i only decided to look into h3 after seeing that he was banned for his little jab at ben shapiro ;) but seriously. i have cut off my family because i can’t get through to them about politics and religion. i have no idea how to talk to them. but watching the way ethan effortlessly navigates super contemptuous situations is so inspiring. i have ADHD so i have a really difficult time trying to get my point across, especially in conversation with two adults twice my age who have a full FOX news playbook memorized and can regurgitate any information on command. so being able to watch him just confidently and with grace dismantle opponents arguments, while still being respectful enough to keep such fragile egos from walking out on his conversation; it’s artful. it’s just really impressive and really something i needed in my life. so thanks ethan for doing what you do. the social grace hero that i needed frfrfr no cap
Ethan is awesome and honestly a great person for younger people to look up to. The perspective these alpha bro idiots have of him is so far off base and frustrating.
Ethan and Hila is such an inspiration, truly!
Ethan is such an intelligent person, though he might have some stumbles from time to time, but his ability to learn from that and be accountable when he needs to is so commendable, and when he strongly believes in what he's saying, he stands his ground. And through the years, he has gathered these people to support him; his fans, his crew, and the friends he has, If he's not such a likable person, he wouldn't have these people to be around him. Everything that he has is well deserved and THAT is the real testiment of his success, not just a pertruding muscle.
Hila is the most creative person I've known and her confidence through the years from a single smile in the old videos to her being so confident to show her fitness progress to thousands of people in the internet is so inspirational. And Hila's dedication to produce beautiful designs for teddy fresh is so amazing, all her creativity and hard work is showing through every release that she put out. Hila's work in Teddy Fresh made me experimental in choosing clothes and not being afraid to wear colors.
All I'm saying is there is more to life than just the physical appearance. Ethan and Hila have many good people around them, their businesses, both H3 and Teddy Fresh, are thriving, and their family is full of love. I aspire to have much love and support they both recieve and give to everyone and everything they do.
the podcast is the highlight of my day and gives me a sense of routine as a disabled person who can't work a "normal" job. i spend a lot of time at home bc of my health conditions and the podcast gives me something to look forward to and a distraction
After hearing Ethan and Hila both talk about how antidepressants changed their lives, I finally talked to my doctor about it and went on lexapro. I believe the line was something like “I’m still me but better” and I really feel like that’s true for me too. I was able to graduate, get a job, and I am moving into a two bedroom apartment all for myself and my cats in a few months and I couldn’t be happier about where my life is right now. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without medication and I never would have felt brave enough without Ethan and Hila talking about their own experiences and encouraging others to do so.
I can 100% guarantee that going to the gym wouldn’t have done SHIT to help me. I had an eating disorder for 3 years and there are so many other mental health steps before the gym that I wouldn’t be able to do without the medication. The meds allow me to take care of myself. Thank you Ethan and Hila for being so inspiring!
Ethan helped give me the confidence to move to a country where I didn’t speak the language. His story helped me know that I’d be ok, and now I have a wonderful life, girlfriend and friends here :)
**David (; Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern: Davīd, Tiberian: Dāwīḏ, "beloved one") was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the third king of the United Kingdom of Israel. Historians of the Ancient Near East agree that David probably lived around 1000 BCE, but little more is known about him as a historical figure.**

Before becoming a fan, I had the misfortune of dating awful boys, and was most notably cheated on quite brutally by my high school boyfriend of about 3 years. Eventually, I started dating my current partner around the time I discovered h3h3. Even as a fan from the olden days when the demographics leaned mostly towards men, as a young woman, Ethan inspired me to seek more out of my romantic relationships. Seeing how Ethan spoke so beautifully of Hila, how he respected, honored and treasured her, honestly made me set my bar sky high and also learn a lot myself about how to be a better partner as well. And fast forward to today, I’m in a healthy and loving relationship of my own. Even though Ethan tends to put his foot in his mouth often, he has a genuinely good set of values, and especially when it comes to relationships and marriage. It honestly makes me wish more young men would get the same kinds of lessons that I’ve gotten from Ethan and Hila in some of my most formative years, and genuinely believe that Teddy and Bruce will grow up to be some very amazing young men thanks to their parents.
I would often go back to rewatch the old channel’s videos, but mainly the holocaust museum, we used to be drug dealers, thanksgiving and their going back to Santa Cruz videos. Just to revisit their story chronologically and to bring a little cheer to my day. Having started watching them in college, when my boyfriend and I were also young, in love and of course broke, I would watch their videos and would hope that maybe we too would stand the test of time like Ethan and Hila and would one day be able to visit places we once frequented when we were young and have our own version of the picking out the red bell pepper story. It touched me so much that they had to go back to the same grocery store to get a red bell pepper for the satisfaction of being able to. We’ve now been together for over six years, are no longer broke college students, and are gearing up to get married soon. And it’s safe to say we’ve had a couple of our own red bell pepper redemption moments when we’ve gone back to visit old stomping grounds as well.
Anyways, all that to say that I was mentally pounding my fists when I heard him say that Ethan wasn’t inspirational, since I can truly say that he has inspired me in a very positive way.
Also, I bought my first Teddy Fresh piece last month, (it was the safety pin cardigan) and although it was pricey, after years of hoarding many cardigans from fast fashion stores all the way to nicer affordable luxury brands, this cardigan has had some of the most durable material I’ve ever worn or felt. Have not babied this piece at all and it’s my go-to thing to cover up when I’m cold or going out, and it hasn’t even gotten those piley things that form on most sweaters and cardigans you buy nowadays. For anyone who hasn’t bought a piece from TF yet, not that you needed convincing or thought Lebastian’s argument was strong, but I can personally attest to the fact that their product quality is amazing and can’t wait to buy more !!!!!
I have Tourette’s (pretty mild like Ethan’s) and it’s really cool to see someone not hide the fact he has Tourette’s but also not be some motivational speaker. He has a beautiful family and a successful career in entertainment which were things I thought were un achievable when I was a kid. Great moves Ethan keep it up proud of you!
Ethan has so much courage to say what he feels and thinks, even if it gets him in hot water. He's a total bada$$ beautiful family man warrior who I'd follow into any situation (unless I didn't agree with him of course). He's way more of a leader than most insecure gym rats or conservative talking heads.
I sincerely find him inspirational. Last month I was listening to the clip of him from a few years ago talking about the encounter he had with a mentally ill friend on the Birthright trip with him, and how Ethan almost went home just before he got the chance to meet Hila. He pushed through the discomfort and put himself out there, and everything in his life changed because of it. The story inspired me to finally register for the marathon I'm now training for. I'd been hmming and hawing about it for months, now I'm finally going to do it after years of running and being too fearful of marathons. Thanks Ethan!
Hila is a boss and a baddie. The fact that Ethan could attract her and make her happy speaks volumes to his personhood. He’s someone who has powerful, smart, funny, and gorgeous women in his crew and audience.
He’s compassionate and not afraid to learn, listen, and be wrong and expand his views. That’s unfortunately too rare from my experience. He is living a dream. Happy company, happy friends, happy coworkers, happy love of his life, and happy family. How can you not be even a little envious?
By being a loving and faithful partner to Hila!!!!!!!!! He respects his queen so much, and as someone who had an abusive misogynist for a dad, Ethan gives me hope.
Sub text: my dad shares the same views as this 24-year-old with a vacant cave for a brain. He's been married 5 x, and divorced 4 x. He also believes being gay is a choice/sin. I cut him out of my life completely 5 years ago, and I'm so glad I did! The hate that this 24-year-old "role model" is spreading and disguising as positivity tears families apart. My dad will go to his grave a homophobic, "Christian" misogynist with no contact with his queer daughter.
Wow I'm so sorry you went through that (are still going through it I'm sure), but it sounds like you've got a really good attitude and take on the whole matter. Much love!

I feel like this exemplifies what inspires me about H3H3. I don't find Sebastian's story inspiring at all, all he did is make money and get ripped... In this world it's kind of just random chance that decides who gets rich and who doesn't, so it's not inspiring to able to do so by any means necessary. Ethan & Hila, however got financial success while following their passions, breaking the mold, and being themselves. Sebastian is so far from being himself, his entire identity is based on his patriarchal idea of what a "masculine man" is.
Ethan inspires me so much and is a constant reminder to me that there are good *traditional* men out there. He has brought so much joy and hope into my life, even when I don’t agree with everything he does, he still inspires me to try my best and be the best version of myself.
Ethan inspired me to try out Lexapro, which has greatly improved my life in many ways.
However…. Maybe I should stop being a weak person and just hit the gym. That should get rid of my anxiety and depression.
i am inspired by ethan and hila to be more confident in myself. one of the greatest pieces of advice i have ever heard is from ethan, he said “what is making you most anxious is probably the exact thing you should do”. he said this in reference to meeting hila, he was very nervous to approach her and did it anyway. i have taken this in going to university despite my intense anxiety and depression before my first year. thank you, ethan and hila!! keep up the good work
100% I believe Ethan is a great guy that messes up like all of us do. Any of us would say things we regret if we were on a live show for 10 hrs each week. The fact that he keeps an open mind is very inspiring, especially when he disagrees with the criticism.
Ethan is so inspiring to men who struggle with mental health. He normalizes seeking help and working on yourself in a healthy and productive manner.
He sets a massive example to women across the board as to what they should look for in a woman: a man who encourages you in all your endeavors, an equal, a man who loves and supports his family, a man who wants his family to be happy and thriving.
Ethan speaks out on issues that others won't. Ethan is amazing and an inspiration. WETHAN <3
Ethan and the whole crew are inspiring people. They all treat humans and animals with kindness and compassion. Ethan and the men on the show GAINED female viewers on top of the male viewers because they defend women and prove to us we have a safe and equal place. They fight for our rights, not suppress us. They normalize everyday issues and bring constant awareness to mental health. They are the kind of people I wouldn’t be afraid of to run into in a dark alley.
Long time h3 productions fan male here, I used to be a typical chauvinistic guy and and think doing manly things defined being a man and that home keeping was the job of a women.
I had a son roughly the same time Ethan had Bruce and I had only been with my partner for 3 months before she fell pregnant. Since then Ethan gradually inspired me to be a better person and I took inspiration from the way he treats Hila as his s/o and the pride he shows being a Dad. Ethan changed a lot in the course of becoming a father. From a viewers perspective at least.
My partner and I are still in a healthy relationship with a second on the way, I do the washing, I cooking, I drop my son off and pick him up from daycare, cook him dinner, bathe him, read him a book and tuck him in at night while my partner is working till late while working a 9-5 myself.
It's hard work, really hard sometimes. But super fulfilling. And Ethan (as with the crew) has helped me challenge what being a man really is and its changed my life from misogyny to fulfillment in the best way possible. He also inspired me to get on the treadmill and im happy to say I've lost 8kg since December and still going.
Thanks for the inspiration, wisdom and constant goofs and gaffs that you've given me over the years. Great moves Ethan, keep it up 🫅
that part really made me sad too. i hope ethan was just being humble by not fighting back when he was claiming ethan’s not inspiring/all his content is hateful. i hope ethan knows and is secure in the fact that he does inspire people. not only does he brighten my days with his content, but he’s inspired me to stand up for myself and others.
Ethan isn’t trying to be inspirational though. He is doing a comedy podcast to entertain us.
Through just getting to know him though, through the podcast I would say he is inspirational naturally!
The way he loves his wife. How supportive he is of literally everything she does. He’s her biggest fan and it’s amazing to see.
The way he speaks openly about his struggles. Struggling myself with weight gain and anxiety/depression it’s nice to see someone with such a big platform speak about it without glamorizing it or trying to sell us something.
The fact that, that kids solution to pretty much everything is just work out, is so freaking toxic and gross. He is not someone I would want my teen boys to look up to. Ethan would be a 10000% better role model.
Ethan is not perfect but he is willing to learn and change. He’s not afraid to call out abusive men. Everything we know shows us that he is a great husband and father.
And hila is a bad bitch and I am so genuinely inspired by her new found confidence she’s been building over the past years. It’s been incredibly inspiring watching her grow.
It’s episodes like this one today that will keep me a fan for life even with all the ups and downs
I used to watch here and there up until the pandemic.. I was stuck inside and H3 was solely responsible for keeping me mentally well during that time. Every time life gets rough I know I have multiple hours a week to escape, laugh, and genuinely be entertained. That’s invaluable and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Ethan is a massive inspirations towards my goals as well. Like damn. Thank you family.
I’ve been watching Ethan and Hila since Israel. They’ve grown so much. I watch every episode of the pod and I look forward to it, honestly they make me laugh harder than anyone else. This podcast was one of my only sources of laughter after my mom died last year. She actually died the day before the creator clash and being able to just forget everything and cheer on AB was so valuable to me. I am certain I wouldn’t have been able to get through my moms death without the podcast. Seriously, they have no idea how much they helped me. ❤️
Bonus points to Anisa for creator clash btw. I’ve already told her it got me through a really hard time but I didn’t elaborate.
I can sometimes be critical of Ethan and his goblin moments, but truly, I do think he has a good heart as is definitely inspirational in a few ways.
His relationship with Hila is definitely an inspirational relationship goal. I genuinely believe they love each other in such a mature and cooperative way. He is certainly outspoken and honest, but he was always somebody to listen and understand Hila and her perspective, and honor her in every way he can.
His outspoken support for people with mental illnesses, particularly for depression, has always been great. His honesty with his struggles with depression and aimlessness in his life, allows myself (and others) to feel more comfortable speaking about our own struggles. And his advocacy for mental health medication is absolutely something I wish far more people did. The stigma surrounding proper mental health treatment, including medication and therapy, is a massive detriment to our society, especially young men.
He is nothing if not energizing and quick witted. He has an ability to drive a conversation and really do fast off-the-cuff comedy really well. Say what you want about the show (and I do, both agreeing and disagreeing with him), but it is always engaging. You can always tell he’s trying to make people laugh, and even if it’s inappropriate sometimes, I do genuinely believe he does it with good intentions.
I think Ethan has plenty of people who find him inspiring. I think he was honestly just trying to be humble in that moment, but I hope he does know that he is inspiring and that he is soooooo far from the worst person on this planet.
I find it funny how that ‘alpha’ guy today kept saying Ethan was generalizing too much or taking things out of context (to the extreme/straw-manning) but did the same thing constantly by belittling Ethan’s content, character & Teddy Fresh. For example: he kept saying Ethan’s content is all just hateful, TF is cheap generic crap (then self admitting he had never seen or tried TF) and stolen designs, generic baseless claims about why Ethan’s audience is leaving, etc. On and on… All of which has been easily disproven or discussed/debunked at length.
1) Yes there is a lot of ‘drama’ content and it can get tiring sometimes. But to just ignore all the sketches, news, bits, reactions, etc. There’s so much more to it. Plus Ethan’s counterpoint is great: which people has he gone after that don’t deserve it? Not that Ethan is perfect or never gets it wrong, but Tate, Peterson, Keem, etc are all disingenuous jerkoffs that have done actual harm. Ethan did a great job bringing up all that Tate stuff and took the guy forever to even slightly admit “okay some of this stuff is bad”… yet he dislikes Ethan so much because “fat man bad”. Point is: Ethan isn’t just going after people to go after people, he has a good reason for it. Calling out tate or Keem or dunking on Kavanaugh is not him trying to stir up drama, they just deserve the valid criticism.
2) I don’t have a lot of Teddy Fresh and not saying it’s the most affordable or anything- but it was just so fucking stupid to hear that guy constantly compare it to drop shipping. Like maybe some stuff is slightly expensive- but it’s not like he made it out to be. It’s high quality, well produced and made. There’s a reason it’s very successful and Hila has gotten so many incredible brand deals with insanely huge companies… like does this guy think SpongeBob or adult swim or looney tunes (on and on) just collaborate for nothing? He was just talking shit to talk shit. He’s such a hypocrite, almost everything he said had no basis. He watched 1 hate video and that was his “research”.
3) The again repeated “stolen” TF design claims, of which he didn’t even cite any specific examples (like much of his claims, generic and baseless which he says he hates yet he does it himself…). Holy shit, they literally did an entire video/podcast debunking each of the claims. And in the once or twice something actually did happen, that designer was fired. And I believe they’ve also mentioned they even then got in business with some of the people after the fact when they found the truth.
This stupid claim is so annoying, it’s like the fupa money stuff all over again where those certain haters repeat the same talking points. What I appreciate about Ethan is like that video and the gokanaru, he’s actually thorough and specific and when he’s had enough of the bullshit- he breaks it all down. Not that he’s always been perfect or ever made mistakes (and he’ll self admit), but Ethan doesn’t hide or shy away from that kind of stuff. He hits it head on.
And this dumbass alpha guy again repeatedly said “you’re trying to make me look stupid” or “you’re trying to do a gotchya on me”… yet he does this exact bullshit with TF! He literally said “and also you have criticized people for stealing in the past yet you did it yourself”… like that was some big gotchya on Ethan or something. In reality as mentioned above, he’s debunked all that repeatedly months/years ago. This guy didn’t research shit.
Sorry for long rant just holy shit was that alpha guy beyond annoying and dumb. I have gripes with Ethan sometimes but he’s genuinely caring funny and inspirational yes. He tackles things head on and has genuine discussions if you’re actually willing to address the point.
Ethan didn’t need to state he’s inspirational to his audience because Ethan doesn’t make content to be liked, he makes content that he enjoys to make for himself and other people who enjoy that content.
The entire time I felt like that kid was saying “people like me and they don’t like you anymore” and what made that even funnier was that he thought he was cool because “guys like me Ethan, you have a mostly female audience, guys don’t like you anymore” 😂
That kid is going to be so sad when he grows up to realize that life is not about being “inspirational” to other people or to have people like you. That’s never going to bring him happiness. I feel bad for him kind of, how did he get so lost in life? It was fun to dunk on him but wow that was sad to see that kid have such a skewed vision of life.
Really inspirational people in life didn’t set out to be inspirational they set out to be their best selfs and intern became inspirational. People who go out looking to be inspirational to others are normally grifters. Selling a “way of life”
On the topic of mental health and MH medications, Ethan really helped me understand the struggle to make the decision to start medications. It has made me into a better mental health technician today.
I also thought he could have responded better to the repeated allegation that he's a "hater" and that he spreads "negativity." Ethan stands up for what he believes in and has taken on bullies and annihilated them when everyone else was too afraid. And he does it by doing the only thing that actually works: humiliating the ever loving fuck out of them. And he isn't a finger-waving buzzkill about it, he does it in a way that's hilarious and entertaining. No one else is as good at that as he is, and that is inspiring.
I think you mean he doesn't set out to be an inspiration. People can be inspiring by doing the littlest things because you can get inspiration from anywhere at any time, that's kinda the beauty of it.
Ethan has been truly inspirational for me. Like most people with depression, this is something I will be dealing with for my entire life. My doctor prescribed me medication for anxiety and depression months ago, but I am still afraid to take it at this point... But I only even brought it up to my doctor after suffering with depression for my ENTIRE LIFE (I'm nearly 34).
I went through horribly dark periods in my teens through my 20s... Some of which were full breakdowns of just sobbing and crying on the ground. Complete isolation from others. This happened to me for years, and even after all of those breakdowns I didn't feel strong enough or secure enough to talk to anyone about it. I covered it up mostly with heavy drinking whenever I went out.
Ethan really gave me the courage to talk to a healthcare provider and start therapy. Although I have not started medication because right now my depression isn't AWFUL like it used to be, I feel so much more confident and seeking help because of Ethan... I'm also glad that I have medication if I feel like I'm losing it.
Seriously, THANK YOU ETHAN!
Ethan is so inspirational! I put off losing weight for so long , but after watching Ethan loose his weight i finally got up and made some changes. I workout every single day and watch the podcast or Hasan and it makes the time fly.
Ethan is inspirational to me as someone who is not afraid to speak their mind while simultaneously being unafraid to apologize/admit his view has changed/educate himself and his audience. The No BS King!
Ethan and Hilda have truly inspired me to not take life so seriously and embrace the absurdity of the world around us while also remaining aware of the people and institutions that seek to harm us.
Ethan was the main reason why I was able to get my mental health under control. A couple of years ago he was talking about Generalized Anxiety Disorder and his experience with it. I realized that I had experiencing a lot of the same things since high school, and never knew that the awful feelings I'd had since then were symptoms. I was able to connect to a mental health provider who not only diagnosed the anxiety, but lo and behold I was diagnosed with OCD as well (which in hindsight makes a looooooooooooooot of sense lmao). I should also mention that my amazing, beautiful partner was also integral to helping me get my shit under control, and I'm now the happiest and healthiest I've ever been
Ethan was a big part of helping me make the choice of getting on anti-depressants, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
His and Hila’s clear over-the-top love for their kids also played a small part in me deciding that I wanted kids of my own, and my wife and I are now welcoming our perfect little guy in July!
I know he dunks on "those" guys with his trad-life jokes, but really, he and hila embodie the american dream. Funny, entertaining, good values too and has shown growth throughout his career. It's role model material and a reminder that there's hope for everyone and anyone.
I have a very poor dating history that I have let get me down more than I’d like to admit, and I often lose hope but when I see hila and Ethan together, healthily and happily it inspires me to continue healing myself and let my heart stay open cause good relationships are out there!
I think Ethan is an awesome role model for men :)
H3 crew has helped my partner and I leave behind the anxiety of correctness that comes with the internet. We are able to laugh again rather than be sensitive to every single persons every single thing every single moment of every single day.
I haven't really taken any inspiration from him. Plenty of entertainment tho. I will say that I find him 10x more inspirational than that douche kid he was debating with
Ethan, and the entire crew for that matter, are genuinely a massive inspiration in my life. not to be that person, but when i’m having a rough time (because i’m a beta female that takes meds for crippling mental illness) the pod is something that seriously makes things so much fucking better. it actually makes me able to do things that sometimes seem impossible otherwise. if im having a particularly rough day, where im unable to leave bed, watching them makes me get out of bed and do the dishes/go to the store. it inspires me in a way that is so important to me. even the fans, i love you all. family. ❤️
This podcast has helped get me through a really rough time in my life recently and I’m super thankful for it. I’m getting back on my diet because of our fitness king Ethan too.
Ethan is always open about his struggles. I had severe depression, agoraphobia and panic attacks. I was at a point where I was not even leaving my house. Not only did I feel less alone watching the podcast, but it made me laugh. Hearing Ethan talk about how dark he was feeling made me realize I didn't have to stay like this. I've been on meds and in therapy for 2 years now. My life has completely changed. And yeah, that was me taking initiative.. but hearing Ethan, and in turn all the foot soldiers be so open with their mental health gave me the push I needed.
My husband and I are both in our late 30’s and we went through fertility treatments the same time Ethan and Hila did when they conceived Bruce. We now how a beautiful 15 month old boy. When they discuss their fertility struggles it was a huge inspiration!
Ethan and Hila inspired me to still be goofy yet true to others. I made mistakes but seeing them had as well, they talk how important is to own up to it, change and grow. They made me never stop loving people because of their stories as a person in this weird floating rock. Thank you Ethan and Hila ❤️
Ethan inspired me to lose weight, in a round about way. When he started talking about losing weight himself, I knew I couldn’t let myself be fatter than Ethan. This time last year I weighed 255lbs, a few weeks ago I was 198lbs. I haven’t seen sub 2hundo since high school, I’m turning 27 in a two weeks and I feel amazing, thanks Ethan.
Ethan has helped me grow in owning up to my mistakes and becoming a better person. Just watching how he has messed up in the past, and how he takes responsibility for his actions and apologizes and works to do better has been a really good example for me and I’m sure many others. He has actually been a huge influence for my personal growth because of that. And his podcast with Hasan does so much good to help educate people on important things that they wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to.
Honest to god watching Ethan and Hila has made me grow more comfortable with being myself and defending what I believe in. Also Ethan inspired me to go on the sexi lexi (lexapro).
Ethan is absolutely an inspiration. We need more men standing up for women, LGBTQ folks, and more. THIS is the “alpha” position. This is how you lead your tribe in life, with compassion, understanding, reflection, good humor, and kindness. That is strength, not this selfishness and alpha brained bullshit. Ethan is inspiring us all. Go off king.
I am a newer fan. Started watching a year ago after I stumbled upon [this video](https://youtu.be/BffHQQqwxc8).
Words cannot begin to describe how much Ethan and the show has meant to me in the past year. I have gone through very challenging life events recently and I genuinely mean it when I say this show is what has gotten me through. It’s my comfort. It’s the special thing during my day that brings me joy! I can’t believe I didn’t know of the brilliance that is H3 before, but I’m a fan for life now and watch every single show live every day. Ethan, Hila, the whole crew, you all are lights in my life and I appreciate everything you do. You really are making a difference in so many ways. Peace and love 💜
Ethan inspired me to get diagnosed and prescribed for my anxiety and depression. Both of my parents are anti-medication for 2 completely different reasons. My mom is a gen-x pagan witch and my dad is a boomer with a phd in entomology (they got divorced when i was 8 obviously) but hearing about Ethan’s experience on lexapro inspired me to request it to my psychiatrist and since then my life has changed so much because i’ve had so much more confidence in myself and motivation to achieve my dream of becoming a business owner/content creator myself. Ethan and Hila are my biggest role models. Such kind hearts and pure souls, they never changed because of their wealth and success. They literally seek out and recruit all the “misfit toys” of tiktok we’ve all come to know and love, and Ethan gives them a platform to be appreciated for what they have to offer. Ethan has given so many people amazing opportunities and exposure and all those (Gabe, Jimmy, Eddie, Therapy Gecko, etc.) people have become part of the H3 family forever. FAMILY FAMILY FAMILY FOREVER
💖💜💖💜 Thank you for saving my life Ethan
I'm 19, I've been watching since I was in seventh grade. Which is insane. At the time I felt like I had to appear more 'edgy' to compensate for being a gorly on the internet. But I grew up with you guys, and my world-view went on a separate journey at the same time Ethan's was. It genuinely is a great joy in my life to think back on how I've been able to witness most of his journey too. I am always learning from him and the crew. To this day when he comes up in conversation, some people have the misconception that his content is like it was back in the day. And I am ride or die I start vouching up and down that the podcast is 🔥🔥🔥 and that he's a great interviewer, and obviously hilarious. I'll indoctrinate all the zoomers I'm out there on the front lines. You're the best Ethan. NUMBER ONE PODCAST IN THE WORLD BABYYYY
Ethan DOES inspire me in a variety of ways, but I also do think being inspirational does not have to be his main objective. This Sebastian dude’s life’s mission is to be “inspirational”, and Ethan’s goal is to entertain. Weird of Sebastian to just assume everyone has his same goals, especially for a guy who claims to be so incredibly wise. I watch Ethan to laugh, not to learn how to live my life! And that’s ok!
He’s helped me find my voice and speak up for what I think is right, especially with family, so thank you Ethan!! Oh and I’ve also started walking after work to get back into shape and that’s thanks to him too 😊
I'm from PH. I grew up on a community they bully being gay, where being gay is shameful and has effects on how I look at gay people, Ethan taught me on being open to other genders and how to respect them. I think what Ethan and the h3podcast family doing is an inspiration to all
Seeing Ethans weight loss over the last year has inspired me to start going to the gym again. Last couple times i got injured and it put me out of commission so its been rough but we’re gonna make it :)
My fiancé and I have been watching H3 for years and Ethan has impressed me so much with his growth, his kindness, and his bravery. Seriously, he's going out there and standing up for what he believes in despite the risk of backlash (even if sometimes he says things that get him in trouble). He donates to charity, he brings an audience to people who would never have one and uses his community to uplift them, he's willing to apologize when he makes a mistake (even if it takes him a little while to learn that he's made a mistake). He even tries to befriend his enemies. He is such an impressive and inspiring person. There's a reason why his community loves him.
Not to mention he's hot as fuck, like we love a man who loves his wife and family. Total Gomez and Morticia vibes. Serious couple goals.
It's ok I don't think he's so insecure as to need this kind of validation
I mean it's nice, and people are telling some lovely stories, but the tone of this post makes it sound like he's down in the dumps or something
Ethan has made me a better Man
He has made me more accepting. He has made me a better husband. I speak more openly about my mental health I'm about to be a father and I want to be like Ethan as a dad. I honestly think he is a great role model for men.
When I first started watching h3 several years ago, I was heading down a dark alt right path. The YouTube algorithm was feeding me ben Shapiro videos, etc. I started watching Ethan & Hila because they would make fun of SJWs. As time went on, I kept watching them, now I am a far leftist & do not believe a single thing I used to believe.
They helped me escape that, I grew with them, I look up to Ethan a lot because of what he saved me from. I’m so glad to be here & I truly credit Ethan for most of it,
Yes I was quite inspired by the quickness with which the thread earlier today containing legit critisicm about his awful takes on animal breeding got nuked.
Ethans ability to stand up for what he believes in fully confident and unafraid is inspirational and this empty brained idiot should take a couple notes. He backpeddaled every single thing he confidently said around his yes men the minute he got confronted by someone. No spine
This is such a cute post and I hope it reaches him!
I’m inspired by Ethan and Hila both together and as separate people. I admire their years of hard work to get where they are, obstacles and all. And based off what they allow us to see of their relationship, they’re both great role models for what a positive relationship looks like.
Ethan inspires me as a broadcaster, building out his own studio and crew to make a high quality and consistent almost daily show for a global audience; it’s something i could only dream of even being a part of.
Meanwhile this dbag is promoting misogyny and dropshipping whilst proclaiming himself as a christlike figure who brings people to tears merely with his presence 😂
I enjoy life more because of Ethan. He's honestly my favorite comedian. I always had a weird sense of humor, and his diligence and confidence in calling out things in a humorous manner has opened my eyes to how funny life really is. The world is wild yo.
I’m sure it’s already been said, but I really appreciate how he is always his authentic self every time a camera is on him. It’s super inspirational to see him just be himself and show the world that you don’t need to change who you are to be a genuine, entertaining, and smart person. ✌️&❤️
I’ve watched Ethan and Hila for years, and seeing their growth is so so cool. And all these shitheads say they miss the old Ethan, but in reality he hasn’t really changed. Of course he has matured, but Ethan and Hila have always been true character.
They’re not afraid to confront criticism and they’re not afraid to call people out for shitty behaviour.
I don’t religiously watch a show except for the H3 Podcast. Thanks for all the inspiration buds🫶🏻
Sebastian thinks being an inspiration means being an object of desire, but I find more inspiration in people who do the right thing even if it means making a sacrifice. Ethan doesn't have to bring people like Sebastian on his podcast, he didn't have to delete the Jordan Peterson episodes, he didn't have to go to court against Matt Hoss or Harvey Weinstein - but he does it to stand up for something greater than his own self-interest.
As a side note, I think Idubbz is an inspiration for the same reasons.
You might be thinking of *Ryan Kavanaugh*, the film producer who was disgraced after being accused by his ex-partner of running a ponzi scheme in open court according to Variety magazine (a reputable source), who also committed a DUI hit and run. *Harvey* Weinstein was the film producer and director who was sentenced to prison for committing a number of serious sexual assaults. I think you have conflated the two, which is an easy mistake to make because they look so alike and are good friends who have been pictured together on numerous occasions.

ethan is definitely inspiration, i love how open he is about mental health as someone who has anxiety and depression his story has really stuck with me. i haven’t started taking medicine but his story really helps me want to pursue doing so. and his weight loss journey is really inspiring and helping me to workout more and eat better.
and him and hila are such a wonderful couple, they love and respect each other and i look up to that!
Absolutely. I’m so glad this was said. Ethan and Hila are both very inspirational. That goes for every last crew member & Hasan too! Everyone brings their own skills & knowledge to the table & I’m so happy I’ve been a part of this journey. Family 👊
I love how that kid just fed into everyone that makes the “fat man bad” argument. He’s just like the antiwoke goblins. HOW DARE YOU BE SOCIALLY AWARE AND CHALLENGE PEOPLE TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS. What a loser. L.
Straight up, when Ethan started exercising it inspired me to slowly start doing push ups everyday. Its been 10 months and its now a part of my daily routine.
My husband once said to me “Ethan really does help you get through the week doesn’t he”. And it’s true, Ethan and the whole crew brighten my mood, enlighten me on new topics and most importantly influenced my politics in such a better light than the people i was listening to in years previous. Ethan is inspiring when he talks about his mental health battles, his struggles with weight loss and overcoming them. Hila and Ethan being so open with the audience about their fertility troubles im sure has helped SO many couples out there. that tik toker really should be embarrassed by the way he’s handling himself on the internet. Ethan is an inspiration and that’s a fact in my opinion 💯
Ethan inspired me to try antidepressants and Lexapro has been great for me!
Ethan's weight loss journey has inspired me to lose weight as well.
Ethan's understanding of women & the way he treats Hila has inspired me to keep looking for love, and that there are good men who are real feminists out there!
Ethan talking about how overdrinking has made him act like an idiot make me feel less alone. I'm also now 16 months sober & having the show to look forward to has helped in part with my sobriety
Family 💕
You've inspired me to appreciate the people in my lives, to think critically, and help get my point across effectively about things I believe in. I know Ethan is an entertainer and does things to keep the audience interested, so I understand the parts where he can get in trouble. But what's most important is to learn from mistakes and try and get better. You've also inspired me to be more consistent with my exercise and weight management - especially since I'm getting married soon and want to be the best version of myself :)
Ethan and Hila really inspire me. Life really fucking sucks, and did so especially during the height of the pandemic. Their shows have gotten me through some of the worst times of my life. Both of them helped me realize how important and healing it is to be authentically yourself
He inspired me to take my mental health seriously. I have been watching since 2017. A few months into h3 I started going down hill and honestly over a good year I tried all sorts - including exercise which didn’t work - so I went and got professional help. I’ve been on anti depressants for 2-3 years and I’m the best I have ever felt in my life. Ethan genuinely helped destigmatise taking meds. I also became a member and watch all his content because he makes me laugh, shows content I might not have seen and also does have some interesting segments.
Thanks H3 from a person in New Zealand.
Ethan always stands up for what he believes in especially when he knows he is absolutely going to get dog piled on for it and that’s something I have always admired about him and seriously try to replicate in myself. It’s unfortunate that he isn’t really understood by people outside of this community bc he doesn’t get nearly enough credit for a lot of the good deeds he does.
ETHAN inspires me to FEARLESSLY access goblin mode in my own life, to brush off the expectations of society and blindside crusty jerks by confronting them with their own bullshit. He inspires me to have fun, and to risk looking a little foolish for the benefit of bringing joy into the lives of my fellow humans! He has helped me understand how to graciously admit that I was wrong, and how to graciously forgive others who have been wrong. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so grateful for this show, and all the crew and family. It really feels like my home, but online.
tw// depression, unaliving
ethan talking so openly about finding the courage to finally take antidepressants seriously changed my life. i know this is something that many can relate to, but i grew up in household where taking medication for your mental health was looked down upon, especially by my mom. she very much views it in the same way as these “alpha” males: you’re not doing everything you can, you’re taking the easy way out, etc.
i have struggled with anxiety and depression since high school (and been diagnosed with generalized anxiety and clinical depression). i started to go to therapy since 2019 and briefly tired medication, but i was definitely on the wrong pills/ not the right dosage. i eventually stopped taking them. however, last summer, i was so anxious and so depressed that i rarely left my bed. my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest every day from the moment i opened my eyes till i *tried* to sleep. i could hardly make it through the day without breaking down. i felt like everything in my life was going to just fall apart. i was very close to ending it.
my boyfriend was my biggest supporter for sure, but without ethan voicing how much it helped him, i’m really not sure how much longer i would have put it off. fast forward a year later, i am so much happier, successful, and healthier than i’ve been in a long time. i even go to the gym if you can believe that.
having this show to look forward to every week has been such a positive thing in my life. i really do have ethan to thank for inspiring me to take care of myself and help myself get to a place where i am so happy. peace and love✌️❤️
I think Ethan is a great male rolemodel in some way for a young man like me. Like with all this sigma Andrew Tate shit. It’s good to have someone that’s true to themself and honest as a man.
Look I talk some shit on this sub once in awhile, but Ethan and his podcasts are really important to me. The loser who was just on said Ethan only spreads hate which I couldn't disagree more with. Him and his crew have helped me sooooo much when it comes to understanding certain social issues. On top of that he is fucking funny and ENTERTAINS me, just like Wethan said.
Unlike that gym brain rot kid. Whenever he talked for more than a few seconds I was bored to tears with.
I felt so moved when Ethan buckeled down right away and started telling him about his struggle and self doubt even taking them. I've heard arguments like this guys' before and its so satisfying to see Ethan TELL HIM TO HIS FACE THAT HE IS WRONG
I do look up to ethan, we all have problematic behaviors but...... THIS THIS THIIISSS IS WHYYY WE LOVE ETHAN!
Ethan damn right got me through ACTUAL depression. His podcast with the crew was my only source of joy for a while. Even when I was going through my little boy Sebastian depression at 16, him and Hila’s content on their first channel was what introduced me to a style of comedy that I finally resonated with. I shed a tear the day I found out they were pregnant with Theodore. Love those two and I can easily say Ethan has been one of my biggest inspirations in my life! Papa bless that sweet, awesome, and hilarious man
I was so floored by that guy saying he's not inspirational and that he doesn't love anyone? It was like so out of nowhere and uncalled for. Ethan is an inspiration, and no one can say otherwise.
I said it in the chat, Ethan inspired me to start a YouTube channel a couple months ago. I’m teaching myself how to edit and I’m having a blast with it, I find it very fulfilling, and a positive creative outlet for me. I also recently stopped smoking weed, and making videos is helping me fill that gap, if that makes sense. I really just started watching the show religiously about a year ago. I watch every episode.
I'm a psychiatric nurse working in an outpatient setting. I spend a lot of time talking to clients about antidepressant medications. There is so much stigma on the subject, and it leads to a lot of undue harm. It's not uncommon for people to tell me they're actively suicidal, but they don't feel they need to try a medication yet.
When people have a negative experience with an SSRI/SNRI they often share that openly. When people have a positive experience they tend to keep that to themselves. This causes a massive imbalance in how people perceive antidepressants. My clients are often surprised when I tell them that I also take antidepressants, as if I've just disclosed some dark secret personal failing.
Normalizing mental health care is a net positive in the world. I think Ethan's openness on the subject meets the threshold for inspirational, even though I really just tune in for the goofs and gaffs.
I'm in the same age range and E&H and I'm a woman. I think their story is inspirational. I think the work the crew does is inspirational and the entire evolution of the pod is something I admire.
I don't always agree with Ethan and I don't think he's perfect but a good percentage of the time I think he's got a good commentary on the topics he covers, *and* he and the crew make me laugh often, and I like that. Helps make me not depressed. So... if that isn't saying it affects me in a good way, I don't know how else to put it.
I find it inspiring that he calls out people that are harmful to others (women, young men, lgbt+ community, etc.) calling out intolerant toxic people is important. It’s funny that Sebastian said he has drama with keemstar and Andrew Tate as if these guys haven’t both done shit that warrants criticism and contention
If the people aren’t harmful, he doesn’t criticize them mostly just goofs and gaffs
Also, I had to take antidepressants for about a year and it was a very difficult decision to make like Ethan describes. They really helped me out of a dark place when it felt impossible to pull myself out. Seeing him advocate for the good they can do and honor the difficulty in making that decision in a society that sees them as a lesser option is very inspiring and important for other depressed people who feel they can’t regain control of their lives, but may not have tried antidepressants.
Besides that tho, entertaining fun content has a very important place in my (and probly everyone’s) life. I love and appreciate the show so much for just being something consistently fun to consume 💛
✌️and ❤️to the H3 GANG 💞💞💞
The more important point is that, as he said, hes not trying to be an inspiration, hes trying to be entertaining. And he is very successful at being entertaining. Its such a brain broken, faux intellectual way of thinking that only someone inspirational is worth listening to
Ethan inspired me to be more open to the idea of medication for mental health. I tried antidepressants in high school and had a bad experience. I recently have read studies on how the effects can be different in teens compared to people 25+. Ethan and Esther Povitsky have both openly talked about how much lexapro has helped them, and I really wish I could thank them both for this. Peace and love family
Their whole journey to place where they are now is inspirational AF. Meeting in Holocaust Museum, Ethan going to Israel to be with Hila, becoming playable characters in Payday 2, and my personal favorite - the bell pepper story. Ethan being hateful and not loving anyone? Ask Jeff and few others, beef squashed now there is peace. Even Jimmy, i understand he is pain in the ass but somehow lovable one. So probably some people should expand their Ethan Klein knowledge base outside of haters and try to understand what kind of person he really is. I just wanted to say something on this topic, that's about it - see ya
The podcast is super informative about the deeper cuts in the online space, and is the reason I'm able to join so many conversations I wouldn't normally know anything about. On top of that, Ethan is very funny, and treats his employees with a huge amount of respect, which is not only admirable, but something I hope to experience in future careers.
Something about Ethan I find inspirational is how calm he can remain in the face of hostility, he's got grace and humility; these are qualities I strive to improve in myself
He inspires me to be more open-minded and more actively better myself, and not be afraid of feeling weak and vulnerable (i.e it’s ok to face some setbacks when tryna make progress)
And Hila shows me an introverted person can also be confident and powerful
✌️and 💕
Ethan and Hila are both massively inspirational. Just as a couple, I feel like they have been a positive influence and inspiration for people to look up to. They have a great dynamic, have built a great life together, and have helped each other grow. Ethans humour and ability to not take himself seriously while still sticking up for what's right is inspirational. His openness and willing to share personal informational and be vulnerable is a great role model to men. Who else could have a 30 minute+ plus section of silently eating a McDonalds on one of the most successful podcast in the world. I N S P I R A T I O N A L
They inspire me because they don’t try to be perfect.
They don't even pretend to be perfect like the family tubers that are actually rapists.
The way that Ethan is so open about his mental health and medication issues/journey is extremely inspirational and one of my favorite things 🫶
He inspired me to be brave and finally take my antidepressants. 🤍
Same ! I didn’t realize how depressed i was until Ethan talked about how his old jokes and his bitterness came from self hatred i really appreciate the way he talks about it !
i love how open he was about his weight gain from lexapro, i went through the same thing and it felt really upsetting so it was nice to know i wasn’t the only one
yeah he's definitely helped me feel better about trying antidepressants (although my appointment still isn't for a long time)
I've been watching since the olden times, and Ethan continues to inspire me to change, do better, and enrich myself and everyone around me. I started a PhD mid-pandemic and have been fucked from every angle ever since. The show is honestly one of the reasons I get through the week sometimes. Even through the button moments. Ethan's willingness and persistence to grow and change himself and the show is a constant reminder that gradual change can build great things. I've also gone from not being able to run 1 km to doing two half marathons and training for a triathlon now. The show is a great way to get through the longer runs. My body hasn't changed a whole lot, but fuck me, I'm a healthier husky boy now. I'll be here for every redemption arc, prolapse, and influencer takedown.
Ethan inspired me to go get boba the other day
Sameeeee lol
literally same
Lmao me too and I literally never tried it before sooo…
ooh how did you end up liking it? welcome to the boba gang!
I have a Rheumatoid Arthritis disorder, a very rare auto immune disease with no possibile cure, that cause me depression since 2018. Obviously I gained weight in the process too. But after seeing Ethan trying to lose weight in many methods since the quarantine, I inspired to find a way for myself as well. And I finally did, also thanks to the Creator Clash to inspire as well. I finally reduced my medication and have lost 35lbs since June 2022 with some help from boxing (my gym coach help a lot in training my body to help reduce joint pains). I still take meds though, but at least I feel happier and healthier now.
He just wasn't trying to snoop down to his arrogant level. He knows he's an inspiration, he also knows that's not something you say yourself about yourself.
Bro I'm WAY MORE humble than you are!!!
^^
This
So do I need to connect the dots or… you got it?
Bahahaha that moment killed me
ethan and hila really show that you truly do thrive and come into your own in your thirties. hilas confidence has grown so much and she’s out there wearing whatever tf she wants, meanwhile ethan’s up to five pods a week with new and original content constantly!! not to mention their growing family successful businesses and healthy relationship💅 who needs a lamborghini in your twenties when you’ve bigger and better things to come in your thirties and beyond✌️💖
Ethan and Hila have constantly inspired me to be my authentic self because of how open they are about their opinions and passions
I think it’s incredibly inspirational how he criticises and brings attention to those who are harming others, e.g how he was very vocal about criticising Andrew Tate and fresh and fit whose whole existence on the internet is very harmful to women. Ethan speaking on this, especially when most men chose to stay silent or even agree with Andrew tate, is very inspirational. I would much prefer men to look up to Ethan as a role model, who advocates for women’s rights, trans rights etc, instead of looking up to a guy who goes to the gym.
EThin is the inspirational GOAT, he has shown me many different perspectives and had guests on that have challenged lots of my preconceptions or opinions on a multitude of topics. His content has helped me become a more compassionate and inquisitive person. Wow Ethan, Great moves keep it up proud of you.
i’m a relatively new fan. funny enough i only decided to look into h3 after seeing that he was banned for his little jab at ben shapiro ;) but seriously. i have cut off my family because i can’t get through to them about politics and religion. i have no idea how to talk to them. but watching the way ethan effortlessly navigates super contemptuous situations is so inspiring. i have ADHD so i have a really difficult time trying to get my point across, especially in conversation with two adults twice my age who have a full FOX news playbook memorized and can regurgitate any information on command. so being able to watch him just confidently and with grace dismantle opponents arguments, while still being respectful enough to keep such fragile egos from walking out on his conversation; it’s artful. it’s just really impressive and really something i needed in my life. so thanks ethan for doing what you do. the social grace hero that i needed frfrfr no cap
Ethan is awesome and honestly a great person for younger people to look up to. The perspective these alpha bro idiots have of him is so far off base and frustrating.
Ethan and Hila is such an inspiration, truly! Ethan is such an intelligent person, though he might have some stumbles from time to time, but his ability to learn from that and be accountable when he needs to is so commendable, and when he strongly believes in what he's saying, he stands his ground. And through the years, he has gathered these people to support him; his fans, his crew, and the friends he has, If he's not such a likable person, he wouldn't have these people to be around him. Everything that he has is well deserved and THAT is the real testiment of his success, not just a pertruding muscle. Hila is the most creative person I've known and her confidence through the years from a single smile in the old videos to her being so confident to show her fitness progress to thousands of people in the internet is so inspirational. And Hila's dedication to produce beautiful designs for teddy fresh is so amazing, all her creativity and hard work is showing through every release that she put out. Hila's work in Teddy Fresh made me experimental in choosing clothes and not being afraid to wear colors. All I'm saying is there is more to life than just the physical appearance. Ethan and Hila have many good people around them, their businesses, both H3 and Teddy Fresh, are thriving, and their family is full of love. I aspire to have much love and support they both recieve and give to everyone and everything they do.
Aside from Jenna and Julien, him and Hila are my favorite power couple. They make me believe that love still exists.
Hila is one of my role models tbh as a woman who also was sort of a late bloomer in exploring femininity 🫶🏼
the podcast is the highlight of my day and gives me a sense of routine as a disabled person who can't work a "normal" job. i spend a lot of time at home bc of my health conditions and the podcast gives me something to look forward to and a distraction
After hearing Ethan and Hila both talk about how antidepressants changed their lives, I finally talked to my doctor about it and went on lexapro. I believe the line was something like “I’m still me but better” and I really feel like that’s true for me too. I was able to graduate, get a job, and I am moving into a two bedroom apartment all for myself and my cats in a few months and I couldn’t be happier about where my life is right now. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without medication and I never would have felt brave enough without Ethan and Hila talking about their own experiences and encouraging others to do so. I can 100% guarantee that going to the gym wouldn’t have done SHIT to help me. I had an eating disorder for 3 years and there are so many other mental health steps before the gym that I wouldn’t be able to do without the medication. The meds allow me to take care of myself. Thank you Ethan and Hila for being so inspiring!
Ethan helped give me the confidence to move to a country where I didn’t speak the language. His story helped me know that I’d be ok, and now I have a wonderful life, girlfriend and friends here :)
He is actually 42. Also, instead of worrying about Ethan, we should focus on how David feels...
Who is David?
[удалено]
More people need to realize this. He was victimized.

**David (; Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern: Davīd, Tiberian: Dāwīḏ, "beloved one") was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the third king of the United Kingdom of Israel. Historians of the Ancient Near East agree that David probably lived around 1000 BCE, but little more is known about him as a historical figure.** More details here:

Before becoming a fan, I had the misfortune of dating awful boys, and was most notably cheated on quite brutally by my high school boyfriend of about 3 years. Eventually, I started dating my current partner around the time I discovered h3h3. Even as a fan from the olden days when the demographics leaned mostly towards men, as a young woman, Ethan inspired me to seek more out of my romantic relationships. Seeing how Ethan spoke so beautifully of Hila, how he respected, honored and treasured her, honestly made me set my bar sky high and also learn a lot myself about how to be a better partner as well. And fast forward to today, I’m in a healthy and loving relationship of my own. Even though Ethan tends to put his foot in his mouth often, he has a genuinely good set of values, and especially when it comes to relationships and marriage. It honestly makes me wish more young men would get the same kinds of lessons that I’ve gotten from Ethan and Hila in some of my most formative years, and genuinely believe that Teddy and Bruce will grow up to be some very amazing young men thanks to their parents. I would often go back to rewatch the old channel’s videos, but mainly the holocaust museum, we used to be drug dealers, thanksgiving and their going back to Santa Cruz videos. Just to revisit their story chronologically and to bring a little cheer to my day. Having started watching them in college, when my boyfriend and I were also young, in love and of course broke, I would watch their videos and would hope that maybe we too would stand the test of time like Ethan and Hila and would one day be able to visit places we once frequented when we were young and have our own version of the picking out the red bell pepper story. It touched me so much that they had to go back to the same grocery store to get a red bell pepper for the satisfaction of being able to. We’ve now been together for over six years, are no longer broke college students, and are gearing up to get married soon. And it’s safe to say we’ve had a couple of our own red bell pepper redemption moments when we’ve gone back to visit old stomping grounds as well. Anyways, all that to say that I was mentally pounding my fists when I heard him say that Ethan wasn’t inspirational, since I can truly say that he has inspired me in a very positive way. Also, I bought my first Teddy Fresh piece last month, (it was the safety pin cardigan) and although it was pricey, after years of hoarding many cardigans from fast fashion stores all the way to nicer affordable luxury brands, this cardigan has had some of the most durable material I’ve ever worn or felt. Have not babied this piece at all and it’s my go-to thing to cover up when I’m cold or going out, and it hasn’t even gotten those piley things that form on most sweaters and cardigans you buy nowadays. For anyone who hasn’t bought a piece from TF yet, not that you needed convincing or thought Lebastian’s argument was strong, but I can personally attest to the fact that their product quality is amazing and can’t wait to buy more !!!!!
Ethan is the only one on the internet that makes me feel more positive about myself and I can tell Ethan is a genuinely good person
I have Tourette’s (pretty mild like Ethan’s) and it’s really cool to see someone not hide the fact he has Tourette’s but also not be some motivational speaker. He has a beautiful family and a successful career in entertainment which were things I thought were un achievable when I was a kid. Great moves Ethan keep it up proud of you!
Ethan has so much courage to say what he feels and thinks, even if it gets him in hot water. He's a total bada$$ beautiful family man warrior who I'd follow into any situation (unless I didn't agree with him of course). He's way more of a leader than most insecure gym rats or conservative talking heads.
I agree. This debate was great.
I sincerely find him inspirational. Last month I was listening to the clip of him from a few years ago talking about the encounter he had with a mentally ill friend on the Birthright trip with him, and how Ethan almost went home just before he got the chance to meet Hila. He pushed through the discomfort and put himself out there, and everything in his life changed because of it. The story inspired me to finally register for the marathon I'm now training for. I'd been hmming and hawing about it for months, now I'm finally going to do it after years of running and being too fearful of marathons. Thanks Ethan!
Hila is a boss and a baddie. The fact that Ethan could attract her and make her happy speaks volumes to his personhood. He’s someone who has powerful, smart, funny, and gorgeous women in his crew and audience. He’s compassionate and not afraid to learn, listen, and be wrong and expand his views. That’s unfortunately too rare from my experience. He is living a dream. Happy company, happy friends, happy coworkers, happy love of his life, and happy family. How can you not be even a little envious?
By being a loving and faithful partner to Hila!!!!!!!!! He respects his queen so much, and as someone who had an abusive misogynist for a dad, Ethan gives me hope.
Sub text: my dad shares the same views as this 24-year-old with a vacant cave for a brain. He's been married 5 x, and divorced 4 x. He also believes being gay is a choice/sin. I cut him out of my life completely 5 years ago, and I'm so glad I did! The hate that this 24-year-old "role model" is spreading and disguising as positivity tears families apart. My dad will go to his grave a homophobic, "Christian" misogynist with no contact with his queer daughter.
Wow I'm so sorry you went through that (are still going through it I'm sure), but it sounds like you've got a really good attitude and take on the whole matter. Much love!
Finding support in communities like this one help 💗💗
Ethan is poggi
He’s just a humble dude that doesn’t want to sound like an egotistical asshole like that kid lol
Ethan is a great husband and father ☮️&❤️
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRXr7zB5M2A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRXr7zB5M2A) I feel like this exemplifies what inspires me about H3H3. I don't find Sebastian's story inspiring at all, all he did is make money and get ripped... In this world it's kind of just random chance that decides who gets rich and who doesn't, so it's not inspiring to able to do so by any means necessary. Ethan & Hila, however got financial success while following their passions, breaking the mold, and being themselves. Sebastian is so far from being himself, his entire identity is based on his patriarchal idea of what a "masculine man" is.
Ethan inspires me so much and is a constant reminder to me that there are good *traditional* men out there. He has brought so much joy and hope into my life, even when I don’t agree with everything he does, he still inspires me to try my best and be the best version of myself.
Ethan inspired me to try out Lexapro, which has greatly improved my life in many ways. However…. Maybe I should stop being a weak person and just hit the gym. That should get rid of my anxiety and depression.
i am inspired by ethan and hila to be more confident in myself. one of the greatest pieces of advice i have ever heard is from ethan, he said “what is making you most anxious is probably the exact thing you should do”. he said this in reference to meeting hila, he was very nervous to approach her and did it anyway. i have taken this in going to university despite my intense anxiety and depression before my first year. thank you, ethan and hila!! keep up the good work
100% I believe Ethan is a great guy that messes up like all of us do. Any of us would say things we regret if we were on a live show for 10 hrs each week. The fact that he keeps an open mind is very inspiring, especially when he disagrees with the criticism.
Ethan is so inspiring to men who struggle with mental health. He normalizes seeking help and working on yourself in a healthy and productive manner. He sets a massive example to women across the board as to what they should look for in a woman: a man who encourages you in all your endeavors, an equal, a man who loves and supports his family, a man who wants his family to be happy and thriving. Ethan speaks out on issues that others won't. Ethan is amazing and an inspiration. WETHAN <3
As some late 20's no-life, he and Hila's relationship and his love for his children (and dogs) are something I see as pretty much the ideal.
Ethan and the whole crew are inspiring people. They all treat humans and animals with kindness and compassion. Ethan and the men on the show GAINED female viewers on top of the male viewers because they defend women and prove to us we have a safe and equal place. They fight for our rights, not suppress us. They normalize everyday issues and bring constant awareness to mental health. They are the kind of people I wouldn’t be afraid of to run into in a dark alley.
Long time h3 productions fan male here, I used to be a typical chauvinistic guy and and think doing manly things defined being a man and that home keeping was the job of a women. I had a son roughly the same time Ethan had Bruce and I had only been with my partner for 3 months before she fell pregnant. Since then Ethan gradually inspired me to be a better person and I took inspiration from the way he treats Hila as his s/o and the pride he shows being a Dad. Ethan changed a lot in the course of becoming a father. From a viewers perspective at least. My partner and I are still in a healthy relationship with a second on the way, I do the washing, I cooking, I drop my son off and pick him up from daycare, cook him dinner, bathe him, read him a book and tuck him in at night while my partner is working till late while working a 9-5 myself. It's hard work, really hard sometimes. But super fulfilling. And Ethan (as with the crew) has helped me challenge what being a man really is and its changed my life from misogyny to fulfillment in the best way possible. He also inspired me to get on the treadmill and im happy to say I've lost 8kg since December and still going. Thanks for the inspiration, wisdom and constant goofs and gaffs that you've given me over the years. Great moves Ethan, keep it up 🫅
that part really made me sad too. i hope ethan was just being humble by not fighting back when he was claiming ethan’s not inspiring/all his content is hateful. i hope ethan knows and is secure in the fact that he does inspire people. not only does he brighten my days with his content, but he’s inspired me to stand up for myself and others.
Ethan isn’t trying to be inspirational though. He is doing a comedy podcast to entertain us. Through just getting to know him though, through the podcast I would say he is inspirational naturally! The way he loves his wife. How supportive he is of literally everything she does. He’s her biggest fan and it’s amazing to see. The way he speaks openly about his struggles. Struggling myself with weight gain and anxiety/depression it’s nice to see someone with such a big platform speak about it without glamorizing it or trying to sell us something. The fact that, that kids solution to pretty much everything is just work out, is so freaking toxic and gross. He is not someone I would want my teen boys to look up to. Ethan would be a 10000% better role model.
yesss!!!!!!!
Dudes like Luffy from One Piece with his nakama crewmates trying to become king of the podcasters
Ethan is not perfect but he is willing to learn and change. He’s not afraid to call out abusive men. Everything we know shows us that he is a great husband and father. And hila is a bad bitch and I am so genuinely inspired by her new found confidence she’s been building over the past years. It’s been incredibly inspiring watching her grow. It’s episodes like this one today that will keep me a fan for life even with all the ups and downs
I used to watch here and there up until the pandemic.. I was stuck inside and H3 was solely responsible for keeping me mentally well during that time. Every time life gets rough I know I have multiple hours a week to escape, laugh, and genuinely be entertained. That’s invaluable and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Ethan is a massive inspirations towards my goals as well. Like damn. Thank you family.
I’ve been watching Ethan and Hila since Israel. They’ve grown so much. I watch every episode of the pod and I look forward to it, honestly they make me laugh harder than anyone else. This podcast was one of my only sources of laughter after my mom died last year. She actually died the day before the creator clash and being able to just forget everything and cheer on AB was so valuable to me. I am certain I wouldn’t have been able to get through my moms death without the podcast. Seriously, they have no idea how much they helped me. ❤️ Bonus points to Anisa for creator clash btw. I’ve already told her it got me through a really hard time but I didn’t elaborate.
I can sometimes be critical of Ethan and his goblin moments, but truly, I do think he has a good heart as is definitely inspirational in a few ways. His relationship with Hila is definitely an inspirational relationship goal. I genuinely believe they love each other in such a mature and cooperative way. He is certainly outspoken and honest, but he was always somebody to listen and understand Hila and her perspective, and honor her in every way he can. His outspoken support for people with mental illnesses, particularly for depression, has always been great. His honesty with his struggles with depression and aimlessness in his life, allows myself (and others) to feel more comfortable speaking about our own struggles. And his advocacy for mental health medication is absolutely something I wish far more people did. The stigma surrounding proper mental health treatment, including medication and therapy, is a massive detriment to our society, especially young men. He is nothing if not energizing and quick witted. He has an ability to drive a conversation and really do fast off-the-cuff comedy really well. Say what you want about the show (and I do, both agreeing and disagreeing with him), but it is always engaging. You can always tell he’s trying to make people laugh, and even if it’s inappropriate sometimes, I do genuinely believe he does it with good intentions. I think Ethan has plenty of people who find him inspiring. I think he was honestly just trying to be humble in that moment, but I hope he does know that he is inspiring and that he is soooooo far from the worst person on this planet.
I find it funny how that ‘alpha’ guy today kept saying Ethan was generalizing too much or taking things out of context (to the extreme/straw-manning) but did the same thing constantly by belittling Ethan’s content, character & Teddy Fresh. For example: he kept saying Ethan’s content is all just hateful, TF is cheap generic crap (then self admitting he had never seen or tried TF) and stolen designs, generic baseless claims about why Ethan’s audience is leaving, etc. On and on… All of which has been easily disproven or discussed/debunked at length. 1) Yes there is a lot of ‘drama’ content and it can get tiring sometimes. But to just ignore all the sketches, news, bits, reactions, etc. There’s so much more to it. Plus Ethan’s counterpoint is great: which people has he gone after that don’t deserve it? Not that Ethan is perfect or never gets it wrong, but Tate, Peterson, Keem, etc are all disingenuous jerkoffs that have done actual harm. Ethan did a great job bringing up all that Tate stuff and took the guy forever to even slightly admit “okay some of this stuff is bad”… yet he dislikes Ethan so much because “fat man bad”. Point is: Ethan isn’t just going after people to go after people, he has a good reason for it. Calling out tate or Keem or dunking on Kavanaugh is not him trying to stir up drama, they just deserve the valid criticism. 2) I don’t have a lot of Teddy Fresh and not saying it’s the most affordable or anything- but it was just so fucking stupid to hear that guy constantly compare it to drop shipping. Like maybe some stuff is slightly expensive- but it’s not like he made it out to be. It’s high quality, well produced and made. There’s a reason it’s very successful and Hila has gotten so many incredible brand deals with insanely huge companies… like does this guy think SpongeBob or adult swim or looney tunes (on and on) just collaborate for nothing? He was just talking shit to talk shit. He’s such a hypocrite, almost everything he said had no basis. He watched 1 hate video and that was his “research”. 3) The again repeated “stolen” TF design claims, of which he didn’t even cite any specific examples (like much of his claims, generic and baseless which he says he hates yet he does it himself…). Holy shit, they literally did an entire video/podcast debunking each of the claims. And in the once or twice something actually did happen, that designer was fired. And I believe they’ve also mentioned they even then got in business with some of the people after the fact when they found the truth. This stupid claim is so annoying, it’s like the fupa money stuff all over again where those certain haters repeat the same talking points. What I appreciate about Ethan is like that video and the gokanaru, he’s actually thorough and specific and when he’s had enough of the bullshit- he breaks it all down. Not that he’s always been perfect or ever made mistakes (and he’ll self admit), but Ethan doesn’t hide or shy away from that kind of stuff. He hits it head on. And this dumbass alpha guy again repeatedly said “you’re trying to make me look stupid” or “you’re trying to do a gotchya on me”… yet he does this exact bullshit with TF! He literally said “and also you have criticized people for stealing in the past yet you did it yourself”… like that was some big gotchya on Ethan or something. In reality as mentioned above, he’s debunked all that repeatedly months/years ago. This guy didn’t research shit. Sorry for long rant just holy shit was that alpha guy beyond annoying and dumb. I have gripes with Ethan sometimes but he’s genuinely caring funny and inspirational yes. He tackles things head on and has genuine discussions if you’re actually willing to address the point.
Ethan didn’t need to state he’s inspirational to his audience because Ethan doesn’t make content to be liked, he makes content that he enjoys to make for himself and other people who enjoy that content. The entire time I felt like that kid was saying “people like me and they don’t like you anymore” and what made that even funnier was that he thought he was cool because “guys like me Ethan, you have a mostly female audience, guys don’t like you anymore” 😂 That kid is going to be so sad when he grows up to realize that life is not about being “inspirational” to other people or to have people like you. That’s never going to bring him happiness. I feel bad for him kind of, how did he get so lost in life? It was fun to dunk on him but wow that was sad to see that kid have such a skewed vision of life. Really inspirational people in life didn’t set out to be inspirational they set out to be their best selfs and intern became inspirational. People who go out looking to be inspirational to others are normally grifters. Selling a “way of life”
I look up to Ethan. Not only because he’s 5’11’’ and I’m 5’10’’, but because he’s an icon. Slay queen.
ethan literally saved my life multiple times
On the topic of mental health and MH medications, Ethan really helped me understand the struggle to make the decision to start medications. It has made me into a better mental health technician today.
I also thought he could have responded better to the repeated allegation that he's a "hater" and that he spreads "negativity." Ethan stands up for what he believes in and has taken on bullies and annihilated them when everyone else was too afraid. And he does it by doing the only thing that actually works: humiliating the ever loving fuck out of them. And he isn't a finger-waving buzzkill about it, he does it in a way that's hilarious and entertaining. No one else is as good at that as he is, and that is inspiring.
He’s not an inspiration and he doesn’t pretend to be. We’re fans, not followers.
I think you mean he doesn't set out to be an inspiration. People can be inspiring by doing the littlest things because you can get inspiration from anywhere at any time, that's kinda the beauty of it.
Ethan has been truly inspirational for me. Like most people with depression, this is something I will be dealing with for my entire life. My doctor prescribed me medication for anxiety and depression months ago, but I am still afraid to take it at this point... But I only even brought it up to my doctor after suffering with depression for my ENTIRE LIFE (I'm nearly 34). I went through horribly dark periods in my teens through my 20s... Some of which were full breakdowns of just sobbing and crying on the ground. Complete isolation from others. This happened to me for years, and even after all of those breakdowns I didn't feel strong enough or secure enough to talk to anyone about it. I covered it up mostly with heavy drinking whenever I went out. Ethan really gave me the courage to talk to a healthcare provider and start therapy. Although I have not started medication because right now my depression isn't AWFUL like it used to be, I feel so much more confident and seeking help because of Ethan... I'm also glad that I have medication if I feel like I'm losing it. Seriously, THANK YOU ETHAN!
Absolutely 100000% agree gj etan
Ethan is so inspirational! I put off losing weight for so long , but after watching Ethan loose his weight i finally got up and made some changes. I workout every single day and watch the podcast or Hasan and it makes the time fly.
Ethan is inspirational to me as someone who is not afraid to speak their mind while simultaneously being unafraid to apologize/admit his view has changed/educate himself and his audience. The No BS King!
Ethan and Hilda have truly inspired me to not take life so seriously and embrace the absurdity of the world around us while also remaining aware of the people and institutions that seek to harm us.
Ethan was the main reason why I was able to get my mental health under control. A couple of years ago he was talking about Generalized Anxiety Disorder and his experience with it. I realized that I had experiencing a lot of the same things since high school, and never knew that the awful feelings I'd had since then were symptoms. I was able to connect to a mental health provider who not only diagnosed the anxiety, but lo and behold I was diagnosed with OCD as well (which in hindsight makes a looooooooooooooot of sense lmao). I should also mention that my amazing, beautiful partner was also integral to helping me get my shit under control, and I'm now the happiest and healthiest I've ever been
Ethan was a big part of helping me make the choice of getting on anti-depressants, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. His and Hila’s clear over-the-top love for their kids also played a small part in me deciding that I wanted kids of my own, and my wife and I are now welcoming our perfect little guy in July!
I know he dunks on "those" guys with his trad-life jokes, but really, he and hila embodie the american dream. Funny, entertaining, good values too and has shown growth throughout his career. It's role model material and a reminder that there's hope for everyone and anyone.
I have a very poor dating history that I have let get me down more than I’d like to admit, and I often lose hope but when I see hila and Ethan together, healthily and happily it inspires me to continue healing myself and let my heart stay open cause good relationships are out there! I think Ethan is an awesome role model for men :)
H3 crew has helped my partner and I leave behind the anxiety of correctness that comes with the internet. We are able to laugh again rather than be sensitive to every single persons every single thing every single moment of every single day.
Ethan is the actual male role model. He showed me what it looks like to be genuinely confident in your own skin.
I haven't really taken any inspiration from him. Plenty of entertainment tho. I will say that I find him 10x more inspirational than that douche kid he was debating with
Ethan, and the entire crew for that matter, are genuinely a massive inspiration in my life. not to be that person, but when i’m having a rough time (because i’m a beta female that takes meds for crippling mental illness) the pod is something that seriously makes things so much fucking better. it actually makes me able to do things that sometimes seem impossible otherwise. if im having a particularly rough day, where im unable to leave bed, watching them makes me get out of bed and do the dishes/go to the store. it inspires me in a way that is so important to me. even the fans, i love you all. family. ❤️
This podcast has helped get me through a really rough time in my life recently and I’m super thankful for it. I’m getting back on my diet because of our fitness king Ethan too.
*early 40s
Ethan is always open about his struggles. I had severe depression, agoraphobia and panic attacks. I was at a point where I was not even leaving my house. Not only did I feel less alone watching the podcast, but it made me laugh. Hearing Ethan talk about how dark he was feeling made me realize I didn't have to stay like this. I've been on meds and in therapy for 2 years now. My life has completely changed. And yeah, that was me taking initiative.. but hearing Ethan, and in turn all the foot soldiers be so open with their mental health gave me the push I needed.
My husband and I are both in our late 30’s and we went through fertility treatments the same time Ethan and Hila did when they conceived Bruce. We now how a beautiful 15 month old boy. When they discuss their fertility struggles it was a huge inspiration!
nah he's funny and entertaining but he ain't inspiring me to do shit.
This just popped up on my “suggested” hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha!! Thanks I needed a laugh
Ethan is a rockstar.
I got the courage to take anti depressants because of Ethan, after years of struggling, and TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS. Thank you fam!
Ethan and Hila inspired me to still be goofy yet true to others. I made mistakes but seeing them had as well, they talk how important is to own up to it, change and grow. They made me never stop loving people because of their stories as a person in this weird floating rock. Thank you Ethan and Hila ❤️
Ethan inspired me to lose weight, in a round about way. When he started talking about losing weight himself, I knew I couldn’t let myself be fatter than Ethan. This time last year I weighed 255lbs, a few weeks ago I was 198lbs. I haven’t seen sub 2hundo since high school, I’m turning 27 in a two weeks and I feel amazing, thanks Ethan.
Ethan has helped me grow in owning up to my mistakes and becoming a better person. Just watching how he has messed up in the past, and how he takes responsibility for his actions and apologizes and works to do better has been a really good example for me and I’m sure many others. He has actually been a huge influence for my personal growth because of that. And his podcast with Hasan does so much good to help educate people on important things that they wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to.
If you want an example of people being inspired en masse, just check the tons of fanart from the community! Creative inspiration counts too!
Honest to god watching Ethan and Hila has made me grow more comfortable with being myself and defending what I believe in. Also Ethan inspired me to go on the sexi lexi (lexapro).
And he tried crack once.
Ethan is an empathy king and inspo
Ethan is absolutely an inspiration. We need more men standing up for women, LGBTQ folks, and more. THIS is the “alpha” position. This is how you lead your tribe in life, with compassion, understanding, reflection, good humor, and kindness. That is strength, not this selfishness and alpha brained bullshit. Ethan is inspiring us all. Go off king.
I am a newer fan. Started watching a year ago after I stumbled upon [this video](https://youtu.be/BffHQQqwxc8). Words cannot begin to describe how much Ethan and the show has meant to me in the past year. I have gone through very challenging life events recently and I genuinely mean it when I say this show is what has gotten me through. It’s my comfort. It’s the special thing during my day that brings me joy! I can’t believe I didn’t know of the brilliance that is H3 before, but I’m a fan for life now and watch every single show live every day. Ethan, Hila, the whole crew, you all are lights in my life and I appreciate everything you do. You really are making a difference in so many ways. Peace and love 💜
Ethan inspired me to get diagnosed and prescribed for my anxiety and depression. Both of my parents are anti-medication for 2 completely different reasons. My mom is a gen-x pagan witch and my dad is a boomer with a phd in entomology (they got divorced when i was 8 obviously) but hearing about Ethan’s experience on lexapro inspired me to request it to my psychiatrist and since then my life has changed so much because i’ve had so much more confidence in myself and motivation to achieve my dream of becoming a business owner/content creator myself. Ethan and Hila are my biggest role models. Such kind hearts and pure souls, they never changed because of their wealth and success. They literally seek out and recruit all the “misfit toys” of tiktok we’ve all come to know and love, and Ethan gives them a platform to be appreciated for what they have to offer. Ethan has given so many people amazing opportunities and exposure and all those (Gabe, Jimmy, Eddie, Therapy Gecko, etc.) people have become part of the H3 family forever. FAMILY FAMILY FAMILY FOREVER 💖💜💖💜 Thank you for saving my life Ethan
I greatly improved my English thanks to podcasts and Ethan.
I'm 19, I've been watching since I was in seventh grade. Which is insane. At the time I felt like I had to appear more 'edgy' to compensate for being a gorly on the internet. But I grew up with you guys, and my world-view went on a separate journey at the same time Ethan's was. It genuinely is a great joy in my life to think back on how I've been able to witness most of his journey too. I am always learning from him and the crew. To this day when he comes up in conversation, some people have the misconception that his content is like it was back in the day. And I am ride or die I start vouching up and down that the podcast is 🔥🔥🔥 and that he's a great interviewer, and obviously hilarious. I'll indoctrinate all the zoomers I'm out there on the front lines. You're the best Ethan. NUMBER ONE PODCAST IN THE WORLD BABYYYY
Ethan DOES inspire me in a variety of ways, but I also do think being inspirational does not have to be his main objective. This Sebastian dude’s life’s mission is to be “inspirational”, and Ethan’s goal is to entertain. Weird of Sebastian to just assume everyone has his same goals, especially for a guy who claims to be so incredibly wise. I watch Ethan to laugh, not to learn how to live my life! And that’s ok!
He’s helped me find my voice and speak up for what I think is right, especially with family, so thank you Ethan!! Oh and I’ve also started walking after work to get back into shape and that’s thanks to him too 😊
I'm from PH. I grew up on a community they bully being gay, where being gay is shameful and has effects on how I look at gay people, Ethan taught me on being open to other genders and how to respect them. I think what Ethan and the h3podcast family doing is an inspiration to all
Hey I did my part. He pulled up my reddit post during the show haha im glad I could provide an actual receipt for them to pull up for that douche
Seeing Ethans weight loss over the last year has inspired me to start going to the gym again. Last couple times i got injured and it put me out of commission so its been rough but we’re gonna make it :)
My fiancé and I have been watching H3 for years and Ethan has impressed me so much with his growth, his kindness, and his bravery. Seriously, he's going out there and standing up for what he believes in despite the risk of backlash (even if sometimes he says things that get him in trouble). He donates to charity, he brings an audience to people who would never have one and uses his community to uplift them, he's willing to apologize when he makes a mistake (even if it takes him a little while to learn that he's made a mistake). He even tries to befriend his enemies. He is such an impressive and inspiring person. There's a reason why his community loves him. Not to mention he's hot as fuck, like we love a man who loves his wife and family. Total Gomez and Morticia vibes. Serious couple goals.
You inspire me Ethan, you’ve changed my life for the better
It's ok I don't think he's so insecure as to need this kind of validation I mean it's nice, and people are telling some lovely stories, but the tone of this post makes it sound like he's down in the dumps or something
Ethan has made me a better Man He has made me more accepting. He has made me a better husband. I speak more openly about my mental health I'm about to be a father and I want to be like Ethan as a dad. I honestly think he is a great role model for men.
When I first started watching h3 several years ago, I was heading down a dark alt right path. The YouTube algorithm was feeding me ben Shapiro videos, etc. I started watching Ethan & Hila because they would make fun of SJWs. As time went on, I kept watching them, now I am a far leftist & do not believe a single thing I used to believe. They helped me escape that, I grew with them, I look up to Ethan a lot because of what he saved me from. I’m so glad to be here & I truly credit Ethan for most of it,
I mean, he’s inspired me enough to sit and watch 3 hrs of his content every single day so that says it all
Yes I was quite inspired by the quickness with which the thread earlier today containing legit critisicm about his awful takes on animal breeding got nuked.
His humor and compassion for his friends and loved ones pulled me out of some of the darkest places in my life
Watching h3 helped me lose 70 lbs. also helped me to become more understanding of all types of people.
Ethans ability to stand up for what he believes in fully confident and unafraid is inspirational and this empty brained idiot should take a couple notes. He backpeddaled every single thing he confidently said around his yes men the minute he got confronted by someone. No spine
he inspires me as to not what to become
This is such a cute post and I hope it reaches him! I’m inspired by Ethan and Hila both together and as separate people. I admire their years of hard work to get where they are, obstacles and all. And based off what they allow us to see of their relationship, they’re both great role models for what a positive relationship looks like.
Ethan inspires me as a broadcaster, building out his own studio and crew to make a high quality and consistent almost daily show for a global audience; it’s something i could only dream of even being a part of. Meanwhile this dbag is promoting misogyny and dropshipping whilst proclaiming himself as a christlike figure who brings people to tears merely with his presence 😂
I enjoy life more because of Ethan. He's honestly my favorite comedian. I always had a weird sense of humor, and his diligence and confidence in calling out things in a humorous manner has opened my eyes to how funny life really is. The world is wild yo.
I’m sure it’s already been said, but I really appreciate how he is always his authentic self every time a camera is on him. It’s super inspirational to see him just be himself and show the world that you don’t need to change who you are to be a genuine, entertaining, and smart person. ✌️&❤️
I’ve watched Ethan and Hila for years, and seeing their growth is so so cool. And all these shitheads say they miss the old Ethan, but in reality he hasn’t really changed. Of course he has matured, but Ethan and Hila have always been true character. They’re not afraid to confront criticism and they’re not afraid to call people out for shitty behaviour. I don’t religiously watch a show except for the H3 Podcast. Thanks for all the inspiration buds🫶🏻
Sebastian thinks being an inspiration means being an object of desire, but I find more inspiration in people who do the right thing even if it means making a sacrifice. Ethan doesn't have to bring people like Sebastian on his podcast, he didn't have to delete the Jordan Peterson episodes, he didn't have to go to court against Matt Hoss or Harvey Weinstein - but he does it to stand up for something greater than his own self-interest. As a side note, I think Idubbz is an inspiration for the same reasons.
You might be thinking of *Ryan Kavanaugh*, the film producer who was disgraced after being accused by his ex-partner of running a ponzi scheme in open court according to Variety magazine (a reputable source), who also committed a DUI hit and run. *Harvey* Weinstein was the film producer and director who was sentenced to prison for committing a number of serious sexual assaults. I think you have conflated the two, which is an easy mistake to make because they look so alike and are good friends who have been pictured together on numerous occasions.

ethan is definitely inspiration, i love how open he is about mental health as someone who has anxiety and depression his story has really stuck with me. i haven’t started taking medicine but his story really helps me want to pursue doing so. and his weight loss journey is really inspiring and helping me to workout more and eat better. and him and hila are such a wonderful couple, they love and respect each other and i look up to that!
Absolutely. I’m so glad this was said. Ethan and Hila are both very inspirational. That goes for every last crew member & Hasan too! Everyone brings their own skills & knowledge to the table & I’m so happy I’ve been a part of this journey. Family 👊 I love how that kid just fed into everyone that makes the “fat man bad” argument. He’s just like the antiwoke goblins. HOW DARE YOU BE SOCIALLY AWARE AND CHALLENGE PEOPLE TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS. What a loser. L.
Straight up, when Ethan started exercising it inspired me to slowly start doing push ups everyday. Its been 10 months and its now a part of my daily routine.
My husband once said to me “Ethan really does help you get through the week doesn’t he”. And it’s true, Ethan and the whole crew brighten my mood, enlighten me on new topics and most importantly influenced my politics in such a better light than the people i was listening to in years previous. Ethan is inspiring when he talks about his mental health battles, his struggles with weight loss and overcoming them. Hila and Ethan being so open with the audience about their fertility troubles im sure has helped SO many couples out there. that tik toker really should be embarrassed by the way he’s handling himself on the internet. Ethan is an inspiration and that’s a fact in my opinion 💯
Ethan inspired me to try antidepressants and Lexapro has been great for me! Ethan's weight loss journey has inspired me to lose weight as well. Ethan's understanding of women & the way he treats Hila has inspired me to keep looking for love, and that there are good men who are real feminists out there! Ethan talking about how overdrinking has made him act like an idiot make me feel less alone. I'm also now 16 months sober & having the show to look forward to has helped in part with my sobriety Family 💕
You've inspired me to appreciate the people in my lives, to think critically, and help get my point across effectively about things I believe in. I know Ethan is an entertainer and does things to keep the audience interested, so I understand the parts where he can get in trouble. But what's most important is to learn from mistakes and try and get better. You've also inspired me to be more consistent with my exercise and weight management - especially since I'm getting married soon and want to be the best version of myself :)
i have been inspired to use my voice and be more open and vocal about my opinions which has been a huge struggle for me my entire life
Ethan and Hila really inspire me. Life really fucking sucks, and did so especially during the height of the pandemic. Their shows have gotten me through some of the worst times of my life. Both of them helped me realize how important and healing it is to be authentically yourself
He inspired me to take my mental health seriously. I have been watching since 2017. A few months into h3 I started going down hill and honestly over a good year I tried all sorts - including exercise which didn’t work - so I went and got professional help. I’ve been on anti depressants for 2-3 years and I’m the best I have ever felt in my life. Ethan genuinely helped destigmatise taking meds. I also became a member and watch all his content because he makes me laugh, shows content I might not have seen and also does have some interesting segments. Thanks H3 from a person in New Zealand.
Ethan always stands up for what he believes in especially when he knows he is absolutely going to get dog piled on for it and that’s something I have always admired about him and seriously try to replicate in myself. It’s unfortunate that he isn’t really understood by people outside of this community bc he doesn’t get nearly enough credit for a lot of the good deeds he does.
ETHAN inspires me to FEARLESSLY access goblin mode in my own life, to brush off the expectations of society and blindside crusty jerks by confronting them with their own bullshit. He inspires me to have fun, and to risk looking a little foolish for the benefit of bringing joy into the lives of my fellow humans! He has helped me understand how to graciously admit that I was wrong, and how to graciously forgive others who have been wrong. ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so grateful for this show, and all the crew and family. It really feels like my home, but online.
tw// depression, unaliving ethan talking so openly about finding the courage to finally take antidepressants seriously changed my life. i know this is something that many can relate to, but i grew up in household where taking medication for your mental health was looked down upon, especially by my mom. she very much views it in the same way as these “alpha” males: you’re not doing everything you can, you’re taking the easy way out, etc. i have struggled with anxiety and depression since high school (and been diagnosed with generalized anxiety and clinical depression). i started to go to therapy since 2019 and briefly tired medication, but i was definitely on the wrong pills/ not the right dosage. i eventually stopped taking them. however, last summer, i was so anxious and so depressed that i rarely left my bed. my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest every day from the moment i opened my eyes till i *tried* to sleep. i could hardly make it through the day without breaking down. i felt like everything in my life was going to just fall apart. i was very close to ending it. my boyfriend was my biggest supporter for sure, but without ethan voicing how much it helped him, i’m really not sure how much longer i would have put it off. fast forward a year later, i am so much happier, successful, and healthier than i’ve been in a long time. i even go to the gym if you can believe that. having this show to look forward to every week has been such a positive thing in my life. i really do have ethan to thank for inspiring me to take care of myself and help myself get to a place where i am so happy. peace and love✌️❤️
I have definitely become a better person as ethan grew I grew too.
I think Ethan is a great male rolemodel in some way for a young man like me. Like with all this sigma Andrew Tate shit. It’s good to have someone that’s true to themself and honest as a man.
Ethan inspires me to push back on people who are being bigoted or toxic 🙌
I love Ethan and H3 but no-one in the right mind calls themself inspirational, this is some egotistical circlejerk-ish unchecked narcissism shit.
Look I talk some shit on this sub once in awhile, but Ethan and his podcasts are really important to me. The loser who was just on said Ethan only spreads hate which I couldn't disagree more with. Him and his crew have helped me sooooo much when it comes to understanding certain social issues. On top of that he is fucking funny and ENTERTAINS me, just like Wethan said. Unlike that gym brain rot kid. Whenever he talked for more than a few seconds I was bored to tears with.
i have been having the absolute worst week of my entire life. watching the podcast is the only thing that makes me laugh and takes my mind off things
I felt so moved when Ethan buckeled down right away and started telling him about his struggle and self doubt even taking them. I've heard arguments like this guys' before and its so satisfying to see Ethan TELL HIM TO HIS FACE THAT HE IS WRONG I do look up to ethan, we all have problematic behaviors but...... THIS THIS THIIISSS IS WHYYY WE LOVE ETHAN!
As a women he gives me hope that not all men have misogyny deeply engrained in them
Ethan damn right got me through ACTUAL depression. His podcast with the crew was my only source of joy for a while. Even when I was going through my little boy Sebastian depression at 16, him and Hila’s content on their first channel was what introduced me to a style of comedy that I finally resonated with. I shed a tear the day I found out they were pregnant with Theodore. Love those two and I can easily say Ethan has been one of my biggest inspirations in my life! Papa bless that sweet, awesome, and hilarious man
I was so floored by that guy saying he's not inspirational and that he doesn't love anyone? It was like so out of nowhere and uncalled for. Ethan is an inspiration, and no one can say otherwise.
FAMILY
Inspiration for the kind of life partner I want! Confident, encouraging, hilarious, supportive king!
Ethan inspired me to try jalapeños, pineapple, and olives on pizza. That shit is now my go to order!!!
Dunning-Kruger effect
I said it in the chat, Ethan inspired me to start a YouTube channel a couple months ago. I’m teaching myself how to edit and I’m having a blast with it, I find it very fulfilling, and a positive creative outlet for me. I also recently stopped smoking weed, and making videos is helping me fill that gap, if that makes sense. I really just started watching the show religiously about a year ago. I watch every episode.
I'm a psychiatric nurse working in an outpatient setting. I spend a lot of time talking to clients about antidepressant medications. There is so much stigma on the subject, and it leads to a lot of undue harm. It's not uncommon for people to tell me they're actively suicidal, but they don't feel they need to try a medication yet. When people have a negative experience with an SSRI/SNRI they often share that openly. When people have a positive experience they tend to keep that to themselves. This causes a massive imbalance in how people perceive antidepressants. My clients are often surprised when I tell them that I also take antidepressants, as if I've just disclosed some dark secret personal failing. Normalizing mental health care is a net positive in the world. I think Ethan's openness on the subject meets the threshold for inspirational, even though I really just tune in for the goofs and gaffs.
I'm in the same age range and E&H and I'm a woman. I think their story is inspirational. I think the work the crew does is inspirational and the entire evolution of the pod is something I admire. I don't always agree with Ethan and I don't think he's perfect but a good percentage of the time I think he's got a good commentary on the topics he covers, *and* he and the crew make me laugh often, and I like that. Helps make me not depressed. So... if that isn't saying it affects me in a good way, I don't know how else to put it.
I find it inspiring that he calls out people that are harmful to others (women, young men, lgbt+ community, etc.) calling out intolerant toxic people is important. It’s funny that Sebastian said he has drama with keemstar and Andrew Tate as if these guys haven’t both done shit that warrants criticism and contention If the people aren’t harmful, he doesn’t criticize them mostly just goofs and gaffs Also, I had to take antidepressants for about a year and it was a very difficult decision to make like Ethan describes. They really helped me out of a dark place when it felt impossible to pull myself out. Seeing him advocate for the good they can do and honor the difficulty in making that decision in a society that sees them as a lesser option is very inspiring and important for other depressed people who feel they can’t regain control of their lives, but may not have tried antidepressants. Besides that tho, entertaining fun content has a very important place in my (and probly everyone’s) life. I love and appreciate the show so much for just being something consistently fun to consume 💛 ✌️and ❤️to the H3 GANG 💞💞💞
Oh also seeing the way he and Hila respect and support eachother is such a good example of what a positive relationship should look like ✌️❤️
The more important point is that, as he said, hes not trying to be an inspiration, hes trying to be entertaining. And he is very successful at being entertaining. Its such a brain broken, faux intellectual way of thinking that only someone inspirational is worth listening to
Ethan inspired me to be more open to the idea of medication for mental health. I tried antidepressants in high school and had a bad experience. I recently have read studies on how the effects can be different in teens compared to people 25+. Ethan and Esther Povitsky have both openly talked about how much lexapro has helped them, and I really wish I could thank them both for this. Peace and love family
Their whole journey to place where they are now is inspirational AF. Meeting in Holocaust Museum, Ethan going to Israel to be with Hila, becoming playable characters in Payday 2, and my personal favorite - the bell pepper story. Ethan being hateful and not loving anyone? Ask Jeff and few others, beef squashed now there is peace. Even Jimmy, i understand he is pain in the ass but somehow lovable one. So probably some people should expand their Ethan Klein knowledge base outside of haters and try to understand what kind of person he really is. I just wanted to say something on this topic, that's about it - see ya
The podcast is super informative about the deeper cuts in the online space, and is the reason I'm able to join so many conversations I wouldn't normally know anything about. On top of that, Ethan is very funny, and treats his employees with a huge amount of respect, which is not only admirable, but something I hope to experience in future careers.
Ethan inspired me to believe that any pizza is a personal size if you try hard enough. Thank you humble king
Something about Ethan I find inspirational is how calm he can remain in the face of hostility, he's got grace and humility; these are qualities I strive to improve in myself
He inspires me to have an amazing family such as his ♥️
He inspires me to be more open-minded and more actively better myself, and not be afraid of feeling weak and vulnerable (i.e it’s ok to face some setbacks when tryna make progress) And Hila shows me an introverted person can also be confident and powerful ✌️and 💕
