    Keep up the good work! I too wanted to do YouTube but I just haven’t had the time to dedicate. Camera shy is real too! Enjoy your flight 😊
  • @fondy000
    I don't even remember how I found your channel but I've enjoyed it very much
  • @cookingwater234
    You gotta keep going. Youre helping alot of people. Before Charlie Munger passed, he mentioned he hoped his words were of any help to the people listening.
  • @notxasj
    Interesting suggestion to get better at public speaking. I might give it a try to see if it helps me in meetings for work.
  • @inbm2102
    Now that I finished watching the video…very good advice and I hope you enjoy your trip. I have one question. Which editing app is best when doing everything on iPhone?
  • Well done. 👍 How do you see your journey with your business and this channel evolving over the next 2, 4, 6, 8 years?
