Nicely done. I discovered your channel over the last few weeks and it has been an invaluable resource. Thank you! Let's hope the channel grows exponentially!

[@DREAMPIECE]

Keep up the good work! I too wanted to do KZbin 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

[@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.

[@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.

✈️ Have a great trip!

[@BrendanEvan]

Thanks! 😃

[@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?

[@BrendanEvan]

Thanks! I used Lumafusion exclusively for the first 2-3 years

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Well done. 👍 How do you see your journey with your business and this channel evolving over the next 2, 4, 6, 8 years?

[@BrendanEvan]

Thanks! At this point I don’t focus on specific outputs besides the necessary one of paying the bills. All input goals: Make 500 videos Make 1,000 videos etc
