Some old bloke once said "The only constant in life is change" (Heraclitus in fact). Change affects us all and we each deal with change differently. This only constant in life, the only thing we can be sure will happen. To expect change has brought me hope during challenging or unexpected life events. This same thought has also brought fear in situations where the last thing I wanted was change. I’ve come to realize it’s not the circumstances or the changes that dictate how my life will go, but rather how I handle those changes and disruptions. No matter the change we experience, how we embrace that change will forever impact how we are able to live with the change. You're a talented person, who without knowing anything about your personal life, would expect a loving and loved important member of your family. So take sometime to feel sorry for yourself; then workout how you're going to adapt like you have before; utilize these coming weeks and be ready to hit the ground running when we get through it.

One man shop here in the U.S. barely making rent as it was before this whole virus scare. I feel for you on being unsure of the fate of your business. I've gotta tell you, of all of the wonderful woodworking content on youtube, you're by far my favorite - there are plenty of other channels with flashy gear and tricky camera work, sponsored content and ads, clickbait title galore, and over the top production - the list goes on. Something about your simple voice over videos, your candor and work ethic just does it for me though. No more and no less than I need. This channel played a big part in my decision to take the plunge myself and give woodworking as a career a go, full time. This community like many others has the capacity to rally and to take care of its own. If it gets to the point of needing help, I'm hoping you'll reach out before throwing in the towel. If you're anything like me, it might take a lot to swallow your pride and ask for help but I've personally been surprised/humbled time and time again by people's willingness to lend a hand each time that I've mustered to courage to ask. Best of luck to you man - I know that I'm not alone when I say that I'm sincerely pulling for you and look forward to seeing your work for years to come. Cheers.

Hi Joey, I know these are crazy times, but they also challenge us to rethink life. I told myself to see this quarantine as a sort of pause Button. Now we got time to think and feel what is right and how we should continue once play is pressed. Your videos bring so much joy and relaxation to my life. It's like I want to pause my life, to watch them. They are some sort of anti stress placebos. I assume you are earning most of your money from "real projects" getting paid by customers. Having a second foot on youtube, sending out joy and positivity to 200k people may become a source of life income. A patreon channel might be a source, or maybe auction your finished (non customer) projects. Sending out such beautiful waves of energy to a huge amount of people will be rewarded. I think now more then ever, it will become our consumers duty to support our true heros that help us through this time. I wish you all the best from my heart, stay healthy and in business.
