Gene, think about how much great energy this new chapter will bring to your creative mind. It's a new start, that even us the KZbin fanbase will enjoy as you bring a fresh new vibe, with your same personality. It is season II of the "Gene World", and I for one will have my popcorn ready and my notifications set to "all". Also tell Dylan to keep in touch, we all want to keep an eye him as well ;)

[@joentell]

Those turning points in your life is what forms your core values. One of my favorite books ever is called Tribal Leadership where they talk about that. Excited to see the new version of Gene!

[@andrewharris6347]

So true about the amount of change in 2020 ... lost my job, started KZbin properly, bought so much gear ... steep learning curve and loving the journey so far on motorbikes, cars and cameras ... glad you are learning and growing in your blessed life too!

[@joewillsart]

Loads of "Chapter ending Moments". When I graduated high school and went to the marines was a HUGE chapter/turning point. It was my first time leaving home. Then from there, there have been many [marriage x2, Divorce x2, birth of my son, etc.] Life is full of them, bro. Enjoy it! Also Sidenote: I find it Hilarious that the issue with you saying "Colored people" caused you to go on a marathon of saying "Colored people"....saying it like 100 times [exaggeration]. *LOL* You sir, are hilarious.

[@Wingman112]

I am sure everyone has it's own share of new chapters and new beginnings . Mine is also a little bit tough but at the same time I embrace it and look forward for a new chapter. This year was indeed full of unfortunate events , I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and I had to remove it , I lost my job because of the pandemic and now I am packing up and moving all my stuff to my home country. I am based now in London but I have to leave since I don't have a job anymore and can't afford to pay rent , but like I said , I am trying to see the bright part of things , at least I get to be reunited with my friends and family and finally have the courage to start my photography career , because after all the things I lost , now I don't want to have anymore regrets and give everything I got . I am all in!

[@時計知りたがり]

Welcome to Redondo! When you have time go check wild peacocks around Malaga Cove Library with your dogs.

[@seansiquig]

i really think this year or next year will be a new chapter of my life. i’m just finishing high school, my senior year with coronavirus and the protestings, missing all senior experiences as planned, but soon heading into college to start learning about my career in film editing, i cannot wait. can’t wait to tell my kids about what this chapter was like when it’s their turn.

[@sheldonfinlay6292]

Hey gene so sad to see that office ripped down but I hope you enjoy the new place stay safe enjoy your day

[@XxLuke117xX]

So stoked for you! If the dogs are happy, you and the lady are happy, then life is good. Congrats!

[@BarefootVlogger]

Reminds me of my own journey from Charlotte down here to sunny Florida. It's great you vlogged it glad I did will never forget the experience.

[@SidsDrakon]

I understand very much. I live with my best friend for a few years and we have none each other since 4th grade and we had to be grown ups and move on. But the biggest change was when I moved from Puerto Rico to GR, Michigan 4 years ago. The new chapter will be awesome.

[@mattstopa9436]

I'm going to say I think this was Gene's best ever video. Very subtle yet powerful.

[@hakeem.onsitemedia]

You are such a good person I really wish you the best Gene :)

[@nuiyoubysusanametzger3759]

Thank you Gene for sharing this with us. I have been watching your channel since the mic-holding-up-from-the-ceiling-apartment and it´s been a joy. Your personality and the sweet people you surround yourself with are so entertaining. 30s is great and 40s even better. Here´s to many fabulous new chapters ahead! Excited for all of you - cheers 🥂

[@azadvertised]

I don't watch a lot of other VLOGs but this is undoubtedly one of the best ones out there. Congratulations and good luck on the new chapter!

[@leumasgh]

Those friendship memories with the photos of the two of you as kids cut some onions nears my eyes for a bit

[@theMADEBYJOHN]

Saying that you are starting a new chapter isn't just emotional for you. It's emotional for us viewers too. Especially after everthing that happened in the past. Good Luck for you guys and let's make 2020 even better :)

[@rufojr]

... Wishing you the best Gene, Kari and Deputy Dogs... Good luck Dylan and hope to see you again soon!!!

[@HiFiDiariesTV]

Thanks Gene for the deep thoughts and the candor. It's been really helpful in my personal life - and helped me see I need to be more brave and open to the change I need to bring more joy into my own life.

[@kevinpaczesny8484]

The best graduation gift would be if this made it on your next video! :) I think the biggest transitions for me was both going to Marquette Michigan for college (SUPER COLD THERE) but I met amazing people that will always be my friends no matter the distance, and I networked with other film makers! Currently I graduated and didn't have a ceremony (hopefully august we will though!) But I moved to Tennessee and at the moment this is a HUGE transition for me, because I know no one, and I just hope I meet aspiring film makers in this area soon. Congrats on the move Gene! love your videos

[@BlueLion364]

Good luck in the new place Gene and Kari (and Sam)! Looks like a truly great area to live.

[@peichu4024]

Congrats on your move man! Ur place looks awesome! May your next chapter be filled with memories that you can treasure and hold on to!

[@alexsobrino]

I'm just starting a new part of my life, closing a big project @salaingravida and starting new projects in my new own home, new job, also new dog… and entering my 40's also, so I feel you.

[@stirewaltphotography8400]

Gotta get some manfroto autopoles with backdrop holder to replace that backdrop stand saves space and overall works better.

[@KirillSkobelev]

Truly happy for you, Gene!

[@jimmygimbal]

Congrats on the new place Gene! My girlfriend and I will be moving from Ohio to Seattle in 2 months (I used to live in Diamond Bar, CA). Watching this makes us excited to make the big move. Learned a lot from you on both channels. I didn't know how to use a camera 3 years ago and now I'm making 6 figures (without a high school diploma) using it as my daily tool. Thank you and I hope you never deal with thieves again. Thanks Mr Jet!

[@lauriew2907]

The rest of 2020 will be so much better for you and Kari...You both look so happy...

[@saskelee]

I'm excited to be here. cant wait to see how you set up the studio. i am excited and happy for you Gene lol i wonder how potato jet feel . bet he will go crazy with the studio

[@retanafam]

Hey Gene your journey has really inspired me to really put effort into starting my photography business this year. Even with all the craziness of 2020. Keep up the hard work because even if you don’t realize it you help and encourage a lot of people.

[@djlhobbies2579]

There are many chapters for sure. I just break mine down into larger chunks of me life. 0-7 Long Beach, CA, 7-20 Farm in Oregon, 20-40 USAF Career, 40-present, WA state...Of course numerous little sub chapters along the way. My newest one, starting my "old fart" KZbin channel, why? It looks like fun, lots of work, and something to do in me twilight years of retirement...Enjoy the beach!!!

Happy for you guys, enjoy building up your new space!

[@camcordercam]

A key turning point/new chapter was getting my first iPhone (4!) in 2013. It opened my eyes to photography and motivated me to get my first DSLR. Which then motivated me to pursue a film degree because I couldn't edit to save my life/my clients

[@Randyzization]

Yes, trees grow around that ever it is there. Years from now, that hook is going to be in the inside of the tree. Their have been stories where bones are found inside a tree because they were probably tied to the tree and left their. So the tree just grew around him or her. I’m a woodworker FYI, let’s collaborate :) ... much love, keep up the good work

[@linlotto]

Gene, your life has gone so successfully and I don't know how to describe it. I, if not others, hope that my life goes as well as yours man. I hope your new chapter will be a good one.

Good to see you guy's, girl and dogs like the new place. I think it's fair to say , well deserved, after a hectic and emotional beginning of 2020. Home is where the hart is and i believe y'all find the right place. Enjoy, stay safe and keep loving each other so you are ready to fully embrace your new chapter.

[@haerleduyn]

Thanks @Alaska Pirates. Just telling how I see it :-). Been following Patato Gene for a while now so there is this KZbin "attachment" with their live. Makes it easy to give away some encouraging words (or the opposite if you feel like it for some reason). Who am I not to boost their spirit when they need it? In a way it goes true for everybody in a similar situation. We all like a pat on the back and some nice encouraging words to move on when we go to a rough time.

[@haerleduyn]

@Alaska Pirates good to hear! 3 Months a go I bought some video stuff and have not done a thing with it myself. Lazy bum me :-). But I have a good excuse, or so I tell myself, that I have been building some websites that took quit some time. In all honesty, it's me being a perfectionist that keeps me from following Nike's slogan "Just Do It" and start learning from mistake instead of thinking "first time, right time". I guess I need to kick myself in the $ss and stop watching KZbin videos on how to. Something with the 3 P's I need to think about.

[@haerleduyn]

@Alaska Pirates , i'am learning to use Premier Pro. Started playing with Win Movie Maker but my sister has the whole Adobe suit for two users at her disposal hence Premier. I guess that it's kind a overkill for me at this moment in time but when I start to become more serious about editing a good choice since i'am on Windows.

[@ben_west]

Good luck bro. That breeze off the ocean sounds delightful. Enjoy.

[@ZIGZAGAnimationsKenya]

9:26 that awesome laugh 😄😄 Happy for you Gene. Cool guy.

[@TNTArtisticMovement]

I was literally watching this while sitting on the John and as much as that's awkward, this really changed part of my life. See, I was in an argument with my girlfriend and it was something I could have just let go off, it may have been a fairly big argument but, I could have brushed it off. When u were talking about how emotional this was all for you, it made me think of things that have been and things to come. It's a really big deal when u start to realize how much of a change u go thru especially when u have someone who is a major part of your life. Thank you for this video man, it's greatly appreciated. This is coming all the way from Botswana. Cheers
