Responding to Haters - i QUIT

[@lostleblanc]

Never imagined that these videos would be the start of a multi million dollar business. ANYBODY can do it and I want to show you how in my Free 1 Hour Training: lostcreatoracademy.com/freetraining

[@maryhelen1011]

Lost LeBlanc Awesome video! I've been with you since you had 800 subscribes! I love how you kept going, I could tell you loved what you did. You've word hard for where you are and I'm proud of you! Lots of love to you and safe travels!

[@MakingithappenVlog]

Preaching to the choir Christian 👍 we are flying to Bali in 10 days to make the transition to a travel vlogger - really loving your content and observing your growth - all well deserved! Are you in SE-Asia soon again?

[@nikkimiave4557]

Lost LeBlanc will it be available even in the Philippines 🇵🇭??? I mean will you be shipping it internationally?? ❤❤❤

[@lostleblanc]

+Nikki Miave yup! International shipping :)

[@lostleblanc]

+Making it happen Vlog awesome man. I'm sure I'll be back soon. Spending some time at home to catch up on work in the meantime. Safe travels!

[@Shevanigans]

I've been fortunate in my life, but the one thing that hits home often is one night I went to bed as a 23 year old and when I woke up I was 54. It happens that quickly. Sure you have to make sensible choices in life, but remember it's only the one life you have. Don't wait until you have money in the bank... Mainly because before you know it your knees hurt and you can't climb that mountain, or before cliff jumping you consider your bad back. That's not doom and gloom, just the way life is. Make sensible choices, work hard, but above all... Grasp opportunity with both hands... I don't wish I was 23 again but I do wish I'd known at 23 what I know now.

[@Mike_in_Thailand]

I went to bed as a 58 year old the day I retired, and woke up in my mid 30s ! ie, with enough sense not to do the stupid stuff from my 20s but not the work stress any more. Now I'm living in SEA, travelling and enjoying life !

[@Steyrshrek1]

Dude I couldn't agree with you more, being 50 now, I ask where did the time go. There was always a tomorrow. I thinks its great that these young people are doing what they enjoy. They actually inspire me. Many people like to knock the younger generation. I've yet to meet anyone who on their death bed says I wish I had spent more time at work. I too do not wish to be 23 again those years between then and now have taught me much. That said you're only as old as you act. I'll soon be entering another stage in my life and would love to start something else. Maybe there's an interest for retired travel vlogers. Keep up the great work and keep pursuing your dreams. If you're in the Toronto give me a call love to meet you and take you for dinner.

[@Steyrshrek1]

Now thats what I'm planning.

[@Shevanigans]

I'm sure there is, there are enough silver surfers our there that would enjoy a travel vlog from an older person... I'd keep off the skateboards though

[@ryanelliott6457]

The haters are just jealous because you get to travel all the time

[@michaeltamburello9246]

TheLankyPilot They only hate because they have such a sorry ass life don't waste your time on them 😖

[@Joelfriend]

Well you've inspired me to become a travel vlogger, I'm taking a gap year to south east asia next year!! Thanks Christian!!

[@IndigoTraveller]

Nailed it man. F**k the haters! Like you said in a past video "If you're not getting hate then you're probably doing something wrong". Keep killing it Christian! Been subscribed to you since 25,000 and your growth is astounding. Inspirational.

[@lostleblanc]

Cheers dude! Appreciate the incredible support

[@CreateImperfect]

Don't listen to these fools. Haters believe your life isn't possibly so they immediately try to discredit their lack of adventure by saying that you haven't had to work for your life. Everything is possible until you make up excuses as to why you can't do it.

[@Missgorgeous-p3c]

Create Imperfect love the way you reason....great mind

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Great video, I agree and can relate 100%! Congrats on the success.

[@Wrench245]

Your finances have never been any of my damn business. My finances have never been any of your business. You're lucky and I'll admit to some jealousy, but the jealousy is my problem and I realize that. We all have to play with the hands we're dealt and make the most of them. To hell with anyone that begrudges you enjoying life. There's an idiot, (oh, wait, that would be me,) in Texas cheering you on. People that are jealous and scream that you haven't earned it can put their complaint into a suppository configuration. Stay lost, I'm loving every minute of it.

[@lostleblanc]

+Wrench245 appreciate that buddy. Appreciate every little bit of it! 😜

[@whatanabsolutejoke]

Wrench245 i agree my savings at 35 after working 11 years in fashion is only double to what you had starting out in Thailand however jealous I am at your moderate privilege I do believe your mindset is probably worth more to your success than your “fallback”. Privilege can get you so far but hustle is what makes you. You may have had a better start out than most but I appreciate your hardwork.

[@LachlanPeknice]

F*ck the haters bro... they are just jealous of you and your love for living!

[@larry39208]

The haters are nothing more than jealous. Jealousy is an ugly animal, pay them no mind. You're doing such an awesome job with the vlog and I look forward to seeing where you're going next. Kudos to y'all for living your dreams and doing what others are afraid to do.

[@tblb1]

What is this HATE for rice and chicken??? My passion is to eat rice and chicken 24/7, i might start a youtube channel about eating rice&chicken in thailand!!! I'm going in january , for 4 months. :P I will eat so much riceandchicken!!!

[@alishacharity2866]

tblb1 try massaman curry.. you won't be disappointed. its rice and chicken with potatoes and onions. best thai dish ever!

[@94vrcommodore]

So true Christian LeBlanc. People get jealous of me assuming that I might've won the lottery, because I travel twice a year. But the difference with me and those people are I don't smoke, I don't go out drinking or gambling every night, I make my own lunch and dinner, I own my car instead of having a car payment, etc. So many people are ignorant and see it like I have such an easy life, where I had to budget so hard. Very good words.

[@annseren]

Gordon French wise words and very true, good on you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@94vrcommodore]

annseren so true. People are just ignorant

[@emilymallaghan134]

I love watching your videos it's keeps me motivated to work 75 hours a week to save for my trip.

[@JoeyWilson__]

I'm a young entrepreneur as well so I definitely understand having to deal with the H.A.T.E.R.S (having. anger. towards. everyone. reaching. success.). Nothing but respect for you chasing your dreams and doing what makes you happy! Your videos are unreal!

[@LivingFree207]

I love what you said...not IF you can do it but rather HOW you can do it. That is EXACTLY the right question. Most people think the dream or goal is too big so they don't even try. Anyone who wants to follow a dream just needs to take baby steps. One foot in front of the other. Research. Make a plan. Execute. Make mistakes. Learn by correcting mistakes...try again. NEVER give up :) Best wishes to you both. Hugs Melody

[@therachelashley]

This is so inspiring I love it. For a long time I've been trying to follow through with a job that my parents want me to do and something with "job security" but following your passion is just so much more fun, even if it is a little risky

[@kelv9113]

Haters gonna hate... you have inspired many, keep up the great work buddy!

[@Linda82147]

it's not my daddy's money... he only paid for my tuition... dude I'm 30 still paying tuition. I like your videos but c'mon don't feed me shit and call it honey

[@lostleblanc]

+ST Estrella Thanks! Glad you like it. :)

[@cyriljamest.bualm.d.8867]

For us Asians, especially for me, a Filipino, it really is a difficult thing to earn US$500 or about PhP 25,000. If in the US you can earn that in 4-5 days as you said, that same nominal amount is mostly the monthly pay for a 5-day a week, 8hr/day work for a common Filipino. For me, I can earn that same amount in 5-6 days but with 24-hours/day duty (I'm a Medical Doctor). What I'm saying is, it really is hard for an Asian from a middle class family to jump-start a Travel Vlog and quit their normal day jobs. If the commenters were mostly Asian, I definitely see where they are coming from. Understandable, yes, but then at the same time very negative and, yes, quite close-minded, as you yourself said, Christian. Hehehe. I know it must have been hard for you in the beginning. It must have been harder if you weren't a Westerner. Just saying. But what you did is great nonetheless. It must take more than finances to do what you do. It all boils down to Passion. Continue inspiring us with your dreams - and your travel videos of course. Hehehe. Excited to be LOST. I'm planning a 14-day getaway in Bangkok, Penang, Siem Reap, KL and SG sometime May 2017. Will look to you for mich needed travel tips! Mabuhay ka, Christian!!!

[@Ronbc000]

I'm actually an old man, really old. I think you have guts and determination. Power to you. My skills are photography, still and moving image. Cutting edge. Sing out when passing through Sydney, we chat. Happy new year.

[@thomasmackey4454]

Best channel on KZbin. You've reset the standard for travel vlogs

[@iamtanyamarie]

The point you made about prioritizing and "travel NOT being for the rich" is so incredibly true...I get the same feedback when I go travel, "I wish I could afford *blank* and you're so lucky"...it's not luck, its work and everybody can afford it if they make travel a priority in their budget. For example, not buying the latest pair of shoes or eating tim hortons daily, little expenses add up big (super Canadian example )...For sure it can be tough sometimes, in between trips, when you want to splurge...I think another interesting point to add (especially for the 18-30 age range), working a dead-end job, without upward mobility/networking opportunities/value-added experience, is working for "money" for "money's sake" if the income earned is not put towards investing into something that will yield opportunities in the future, by this I mean, spending on unessential and impulse purchases - dining out/the latest fashion trends (etc...). If spending is not being allocated towards something that will open doors to opportunity in the future, you are de-valuing your time spent working that dead-end job for your paycheque. Christian, had you worked the best buy job and spent that 5k$ on Tim Hortons and expensive pants, you would have been wasting your time. But you used it to invest in your future. Society makes us believe that we have to work the 9-5, no matter what the job is and that travel is a luxury item afforded to only a select few. Anything outside these constraints is labeled as social defiance/not sustainable/improper. It's just not true and incredibly depressing. Entrepreneurs think outside the box and crush societal norms (i.e. 9-5 mon-fri)...there are some people who enjoy the 9-5 grind (its easy) and take comfort in their weekly paycheque and are satisfied with having someone else value their time (i.e. Deciding hourly wage - "you will be paid 10$/h), allocating 10 vacation days per year and 4 sick days... what's truly unfortunate is how those in the daily grind might never see the beautiful things in this world (only the inside of an office)....Always be critical and question everything society has defined to be to norm...You are an entrepreneur and you keep growing your business!!! You give energy/inspiration to the other entrepreneurs in the world - wish I had been this wise at 23 (I'm 25 lol).

[@HaleyTakesOntheWorld]

DUDEEEE APPAREL!!!!!!!! SOO AWESOME!!!!

[@PoornaCW]

Thanks for the inspiration. I've following you for like 7-8 months and I planned my Philippines tour watching your videos. Those were very useful. Already I've uploaded 3 videos in my channel about Philippines. Thanks again.(As you also say, El Nido is the most beautiful place I've so far been)

[@kasperjames]

15 Months. I'll be quitting. Thanks for the motivation. You encouraged me to pursue my Own Artistic Dreams again. I just need a travel mate to accommodate to enjoy it with. Taking applications. LOL. My first epic Journey will take me across the USA again, which was what I attempted 10 years ago, which I'll insert little snip-its into the series, with which I will meet my 15+ siblings and mom whom I've never met. I'll end in SF or Hawaii, depending on how it develops. Not to mention a Secret Movie I'll be shooting for the book I'm writing now. I wish you could be apart of it (Equal shares.) So, that's out there now. If anything I appreciate all the motivation you've given me indirectly. Can't wait to #getlost myself. Thanks for the #positiveattitude. Stay up. *Can't wait to get the Stickers. It's Going on my Scooter. I'm sure it'll get some glances across the US, lol. I'll be shouting out when I get back to a scheduled upload again. -Cheers.

[@fridaber6069]

It's been 3 years. How did it go?

Respect you Christian!! AND I WILL FOLLOW MY PASSION AND TRAVEL AND CAN PROUDLY SAY #iQUIT THANKS FOR BEING A BIG INSPIRATION & MOTIVATION TO ALL OF US AND GLAD YOU SHARED

Good for you! 100% agree to pursue your passion. You are on the right path!

[@jobro1321]

You're great and maybe the most inspiring person for me. I'm from Germany and see your videos since you've had 30k subscribers. Never missed a Video :D keep up the great work Christian and hopefully you'll come to germany one day.....

[@Kirbykfed89]

Because of you, Nadeshot, Cassie Neistat, iJustine, and many others....I have now decided that I want to give KZbin a try! Not just for the money....but for the love of recording memories and sharing it with others!!

[@Pozdrozkrld]

Yes, it's an amazing adventure. To build something on your own and watch it grow. Now I'm vloggin from Japan and often from North Korea. Being a KZbinr is so much fun adn gives me more satisfaction than my full-time job.

[@DVZM.]

Pozdro z KRLD north korea!??!?!

[@Pozdrozkrld]

DVSM yeah, sure! I go there often and organize trips. I vlog mostly in Polish and Japanese, but some videos have English subtitles.

[@TheIslandAttitude]

Bro... I can't even begin to tell you how inspirational your story is. I'm beginning a similar journey myself, although I'm not chasing the same path, I'm both scared and excited to spend my time doing something I'm passionate about instead of spending the rest of my life in the rat race living the life of a miserable, unhappy person, doing something I hate. I'm a photographer. I've worked in IT, debt collecting, insurance, finance, retail, etc. I've done it all, and I've always hated working for other people. I've been working a retail job for the last 7 or 8 years after getting myself into some trouble. Initially it was the means to an end in getting my fines paid back, and then I started to realize that I was trapped in my job. Halfway through that, I was gifted a GoPro for Christmas and thought I wanted to pursue videography/film making--which eventually led to my rediscovering how much I love photography and getting my first DSLR. I was getting less and less hours at my day job and picking up as much photography work as I could to supplement my income, and finally I realized that I could actually make good money behind the camera. They've continued to cut my hours to where there would be some weeks where I wouldn't be on the schedule at all, or maybe I'd get 10-15 hours. Well, about a month ago I got a letter saying they were no longer going to provide health insurance to me because my average hours fell below 25 hours per week, and I realized that was why they had been cutting my hours to begin with. Really shitty! Do you think this is the kick in the ass that I needed to take the plunge and risk of pursuing photography full time?

[@josier9472]

U have haters ???? What?????? How can anyone hate you!! Ur awesome !!!! Everyone loves you ❤️

[@cristiancidtorres]

Hi bro !! Great videos, love the way You live your life. Listen, i Was wondering if you can maje a video where you describe all of your equipement please !? ... thanks, and keep up the good life !! Greetings from Chile, Southamerica

[@LifeofFallon]

Literally your videos like this inspire more than anything else, and I can't thank you enough for the positive outlook you've given me, I'm going to go after my dreams this year even if no one believes in what I'm doing or if it gets ugly, I'm going to turn my life into doing what I love

[@lostleblanc]

+LifeofFallon 🙏🏼 positivity is the only choice :)

[@cassiewatson1864]

Sorry Christian but this video just bumped down "I quit" from my favourite KZbin video, this was sooo inspiring! I know so many probably say this because of you but 2017 is going to be all about me pursing my KZbin career, i am fitting my 40hour Job into less days(longer days) to make KZbin my priority. I am so excited to build my profile, not only on KZbin but all social media too. The reason why I am obsessed with you is because you have done exactly what I thought was the impossible, I have watched you grow from nothing to what you are now(next year you will be hitting the 1mil for sure) if it wasn't for you I wouldn't even be questioning doing my passion for a job especially with all the hard work and effort I have put into my full time job over the years and how far I have come I wouldn't of blinked when someone said I could do what I love and get paid for it if it wasn't for you. You have and will always be one of the biggest inspirations for me, you ain't no Casey Neistat to me because you are relatable and original. Thank you for your everyday inspiration I look forward till the day I cross your path! Cassie Watson.

[@annalang5687]

You made a very good point about priorities. I once had a discussion with a friend who called me "privileged" for being able to travel to Australia and NZ on a working holiday visa. I started working when I was twelve and saved all my money for that trip. She, at 21, had never worked a single day in her life and stated she would attend TWO concerts that very weekend. Different priorities. Also, no one believes me when I say I paid for the entire trip myself, including flights. It was a working holiday visa, obviously I was working there as well. They only get to see the pretty pictures.

[@lostleblanc]

+bunny m that's exactly it. I use my money to see beautiful places 🌴

Great video from one landscaper to a former landscaper keep grinding

[@kasperjames]

How great would a daily landscaper vlog be?! Hmmm You just need an editor to keep it all together after you shoot in your daily life. I, personally, have too much going on to do it for free, but I'm sure you can find someone in your personal life to help to get you started. I think time lapse video of your progress might be awesome to watch too during your day. Cut's to challenges and interesting back story or ideas. Damn, I should be a creative director or something. Just full of these ideas. lol. Go Ryan!

[@SvenVee]

Dude I hope you do another "advice giveaway" someday... I'd learn so so much from a little chat about the social media business world I think. And I fully agree with your ending point about life being too short. That's exactly what I try to live by and try to communicate to people around me when they're risking to get pulled into a form of negativity. ^^ Great video, and don't mind the negative responses you get in a personal way. They just have to do some more research or check out your (and others') career path with this whole thing to start understanding it. :)

[@stantheduckman6945]

agreed

[@paulthagermanbomb1707]

still easier for someone from the western world to break through and make it sustainable in something like this though

[@SvenVee]

might be true, but nothing is impossible if you just set your mind to it

[@FoodieTrekker]

spoken from the heart. well said. i travel alot too. my friends and family say your rich and you have good income. i laugh at them. i give them example you purchase a packet of cigarettes for $25 on daily basis and thats $750 a month. just four months saving you can go oversea to thailand and combodia for two weeks and live like a king. it gets them all the time. keep up the great work bro.

Best thing to do is simply ignore the haters. If that's what they want to spend their valuable time/energy on rather than something worthwhile then that's their problem to deal with. Another great video for me. Been following #teamgetlost since 48k. In fact, because of you I'm taking the leap and have booked a one way ticket to Bangkok and will be travelling for 6 months (budget dependent).

[@robertsittman8556]

Dude you are the man. I look up to you so much. I am a 26 year old stuck in the rat race myself. I am still trying to figure out how to get out! Oh by the way, my wife and I are going to South East Asia in March! Your videos have been a huge inspiration. I can't wait to visit some of the places you vlog about. Oh, and about the comment that not all people can be travel vloggers. That is true about any profession. Our society needs a wide range of professionals to function properly. I truly believe that you and other travel vloggers provide an impactful product that makes people comfortable about the destinations they plan to visit. I myself feel much more knowledgeable and familiar with destinations in SEA because of your work, so thank you! I can't wait to meet you in person one day and chat some more. Hopefully you aren't too famous by then and you will still have a minute or two to speak with me.

Christian, I am a LeBlanc who is 45 years older than you are and I have pursued many passions so far in this life and it is the best way to live a great, fulfilling version of this very short life. Hard work, no fear of taking a step back (to chicken and rice or whatever) and passion. You have it figured out. Ignore the doubters, negative nellies, haters, and anybody else who doesn't get it. Cheering for both of you. Michael

I came across your VLOG a view days ago. I am approaching 50 years old and I have been considering making the jump to a life that is not the norm. You have impassioned a generation of living their best life, and now you've motivated me too. Keep doing what you do.

[@hustisya2010]

I love you Christian and Laura, keep doing what you love. You are such an inspiration.. Whenever I introduce your vlogs to my family and my friends, the response was always positive and at the end of the day they become subscribers. Keep on!

[@goround8259]

Christian, by constantly giving people evidence for the happiness that dedication to ones dreams can bring, you do so much more for the followers of your channel than enlightening us every day with your brilliantly silly dad jokes - you inspire. Thank you so much for that, you're moving something in this world!

[@mhaefele]

Can't agree to everything you're saying, particularly regarding job security, since you definitely have to be brave to go on a journey like yours. But I couldn't agree more to your statements about passion, priorities and being open-minded. Great thumbs up!

[@Angel911]

Nuggets of Wisdom from Christian Leblanc: 00:12:08 I would rather be working with uncertainty doing a job that I love, rather than feeling a false sense of job security at a job I didn't even care for. 00:15:15 Find the thing that you're excited about and try it out. Try it wholeheartedly and see what happens, because life is short and it's pretty incredible what happens when things work out. 00:14:36 Here's something that I will leave you with, and it's this: It might sound cheesy hearing it from a 23-year-old, but LIFE IS VERY SHORT. I've already seen it go so quickly by me and life is only speeding up. I'm so glad that I've already escaped from what I consider to be the rat race. I'm so glad that I've stopped building someone else's dreams and working for someone else. It's so much more fulfilling to be able to every day, wake up and be working on the things that get me excited.

[@ryanbonnett6969]

Great outlook. I am in a situation very similar to what you're describing, working a job I couldn't care less about and trying to figure out the next step. Im glad you were able to find something you love and pursue it. Love the content. (my first comment on youtube btw)

[@cyrusnada2847]

Christian, remember that it is always easy for people to criticize of what you have accomplished. Your success and achievements that you have earned through your hard work and your zealousness defines of who you truly are. More often, those people who are negatively commenting about you and what you do are those people who have never take risks in their lives. They have no single idea of the road you have traveled on just to get to that place where you are standing right now. You are not just a kind of vlogger who only entertains and travels around the globe. Instead, you are a kind of person who inspires, encourages, teaches, and motivates us becoming the better versions of ourselves. If only those people can take a look a little deeper of who you are and what you do, I'm sure they could get a lot from a 24 year old Canadian guy. As the saying goes, "Life's a climb, but the view is great!" And by the way, congrats to your brand new apparel line.

[@MattVey]

Awesome message Christian!! Hopefully people watch this with an open mind and cure their ignorance. Keep up the inspiring work. You deserve your success.

[@kathydaniel9168]

Keep it up. You are inspiring. Both of you. Merry Christmas. Very dedicated and amazing work ethics.

[@Sandroxyz]

Some ppl live in a place where leaving everything would be selfish act(like me). I subbed to your channel in your previous vid too, and the only reason I'm still subbed is you being modest and casual. It makes me a bit jealous seeing you through the vlogs but It really doesn't bother me much. I guess some ppl take it a bit to the extreme. Stay safe :)

[@antevski]

Does not mater if you are coming from money or not, what is important if you can maintain that and grow it. Keep making videos, I'll keep them watching. Subscriber and notifications ON.

[@aquasurfer9]

You are right on with your attitude and comment on living your life on your terms. You are the embodiment of the Tony Robbins philosophy. I quit working for others 40 years ago and have had various business rise and fall but never even considered that I made a bad choice by quitting my job. Keep up the great videos and I appreciate your hard work.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Dude and now you have 358k! your channel is EXPLODINGGG! I think your honestly becoming my favorite vlogger, Before it was FunForLouis but im starting to dig yours more. Im currently in Rio and have been filming a lot, cant wait to get back home and edit it all, This is going to be my first taste of adding real travel vlogs to my channel which is one of the things you and a few other vloggers have inspired me to do. Thanks and dont stop!

[@QueenKCVanEtta]

Your videos are inspiring! I made a comment on your i QUIT video when I first saw it a few months ago and yes, I did get negative comments on that. It bothered me a little bit at first but then I realized that they are closed minded people, just like what you said. We can never control other people's thoughts and actions but we can control how we will take negativities. Your passion inspired a lot of people and despite those negativities, you still share your success to other. With that, there are more people who love and support you than those.... Yeah, nevermind them!

[@sirgalahad1470]

To all the haters, get off your butt and do something in life and quit being jealous of others. This channel is awesome. I will admit, your videos are always better when Laura is along for the ride. She is obviously beautiful. But it's not just that. You guys are both very likable and have a great and fun dynamic between the two of you. I hope you become wildly successful and this channel blows up even more.

[@helenaemilie1849]

Well Said Christian, it's a shame to have to deal with haters which stems down to jealousy and being close minded! I really admire what you have done, and have enjoyed your journey the past year. My bf and I decided to quit our lives back in Europe to travel open ended. I have discovered who are my true friends from this as unfortunately I have jealous friends. it's a real shame as anyone who has a passion to chase there dream can achieve it. Merry Christmas and enjoy your holidays!..

[@CDRexroad]

Love this video. You should def. be proud of the hard work you have put into your life. I hope you keep growing and sharing your dream with others. You and your lady are truly amazing. Merry Christmas and a very happy New Years.

[@thomasnusbaum819]

Sorry about the haters Christian.😩 I still love ur videos and know and appreciate how much work u put in to strive and achieve your passion which is making KZbin videos.

[@gslatino25]

Good point! Keep up the good work Christian. I've binged watched your videos since I came across your channel a few days ago. 👍🏼

[@user-cq6cv4cc7r]

Keep doing what you're doing man! Your videos are great, life is short, so enjoy it, live it. Just like you are! Merry Christmas.

[@gabybernadette]

so proud of you! semangat Christian!!!!

[@JamesHuntPhoto]

man, I've always liked your videos, but this one definitely made me respect you a lot more. I'm about to start my journey on Feb. 1, and I just got my first sponsor yesterday. Videos like yours are necessary in letting people know that it is within reach, and this is one of the more genuine videos on the subject I've seen. Keep it up, and I hope to see you in my travels.
