A very special day here at The Jared White Show…we’ve arrived at the 50th episode! So let us take some time out of our normal schedule to celebrate the journey so far and what will propel us towards the next 100th episode milestone.
This may sound like the craziest thing you’ve ever heard, but I watched a TV show called Portlandia and then I moved to Portland. No joke.
Two of my favorite skyscrapers in the Emerald City in one shot. Achievement unlocked!
Might be stormy on the outside but I’m sunny on the inside. Appreciating this opportunity to ideate while enjoying the stellar vibes of #seattle. #washingtonexplored
Take a gander at the tiki totems. Happy or grumpy? You decide! #portland
I could live here. I don’t mean in Portland, I mean literally on this boardwalk overlooking the bridge and the river at twilight. 🥰❤️🌃
The area around Mt. St. Helens is known for being…the area around Mt. St. Helens, but just exploring the Lewis River and various reservoirs along the way, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
A path was hewn through a fallen evergreen on my journey through Washington Park. I was struck by the beauty and history of this former giant. Respect.
I’m a YouTuber and I watch my favorite creators on YouTube every day. But there are a few things about YouTube that drive me absolutely batty—especially as I try to follow the essentialist philosophy. So for all you minimalists out there, here are a few ways YOU can improve your YouTube experience!
Season 3, Episode 8
Essential Life with Jared is a vlog series all about adventure in Portland & the Pacific Northwest combined with the philosophy of essentialism. It’s about finding your own way and never walking somebody else’s path. It’s about living a creative life that’s most meaningful to you.

BIKETOWN…is feeling sad because tourists don’t want to ride around in the rain. 😭
What can we do to cheer up the poor bicycles? They’re all dressed up and waiting for something to happen…
And the sequel to my last photo. Bon voyage, Blue Line. 👋

An essentialist examines their life not only to clear out the non-essential obligations and clutter and bad habits and so forth in an attempt to simplify and focus. That’s all good, certainly. But the ultimate goal is to orient your life such that when opportunities arise which are squarely in your sights for the lifestyle you most desire, you are in the perfect position to give an emphatic YES. In other words, dreams don’t come true just by happenstance. You’ve got to prepare the way.
