What happened to Kid President?

So, it almost certainly gained’t marvel you to be told that Kid President’s real title is not if truth be told Kid President. His name is Robby Novak, and he’s now 16 years old (sorry if that makes you're feeling historical!). 

You must also know that Robby didn’t write his well-known Kid President speeches himself. As a topic of truth, it used to be Robby’s brother-in-law Brad Montague who first had the theory to create Kid President movies and who wrote and directed the movies.

“The concept for Kid President got here a few years in the past,” Brad writes at the Kid President website. “My wife and I had simply launched a summer camp for kids who want to exchange the arena. We had been blown away through the information and the hearts of the students there.”

“These students sought after nothing greater than to depart the sector better than they discovered it. After seeing their creativity and compassion I couldn't lend a hand but suppose — would it not be cool if we listened to youngsters extra? When we got home we filmed the very first Kid President video.”

Brad and Robby had no idea what would come subsequent. The Kid President series was once picked up by way of SoulPancake, and Kid President himself got to interview President Barack Obama, seek advice from the United Nations, and even meet Beyoncé (in point of fact the greatest of all honors).

In October 2019, Brad and Robby began a new series.

After taking a hiatus from the internet for a few years, Brad and Robby are back! In October 2019, they uploaded a new video (by the use of the SoulPancake YouTube channel) announcing that they've a new mission. It’s going to be a trip show called Are We There Yet?.

In each and every episode of the display, Brad and Robby will travel to some location in the U.S. and meet with a kid who's making the arena extra glorious — that’s roughly Kid President’s entire thing. So some distance, there were five episodes of the new display, they usually’re just as delightful as the whole lot that includes Robby and Brad.

That’s now not the only new content material for you to enjoy. Brad not too long ago printed a ebook called Becoming Better Grownups: Rediscovering What Matters and Remembering How to Fly. In it, he stocks classes and insights he discovered after visiting fundamental colleges, nursing houses, and retirement communities all over the nation. In brief, both Brad and Robby still have a lot to proportion with us, and we’re certainly fortunate to have them.
