The Sad Truth about my Hypercars

[@Fncy_VW]

Too much going on. Sometimes this is a build channel, sometimes it’s a repo channel, sometimes a vlog channel. There’s no consistency and there’s never a finished story. Everything is sold off before the finish and you don’t talk about till a year after. Theres no reason to get invested in any storyline

[@Gedalneil]

More family time is a mature step towards higher self awareness. Good. Centralizing the Royalty brand and assets, smart (and obvious) too. Hiring a CEO with you as chairman may be beneficial to manage the operations. Not a friend, or a bro, and experienced CEO. Your branded assets (this video) are not polished. I’m sure your editing team is full of solid humans. They don’t have the skills that meet your brand aspirations. You know this. Last, you are Houston Crosta, temper the third person references, it doesn’t help you build the personal brand you aspire to build. You asked for feedback. Cheering for you

I have had sellers remorse by just offering something for sale that I knew I could probably never replace. I can't imagine how a billionaire would feel selling a car he might never be able to replace for an amount of money that is literally insignificant to them.

[@niagaraphones]

The dde rental was a decent idea - maybe the rental business should move from the street to a runway, or track. Realize insurance might be an issue - but micro rentals might be more desirable (one lap, 10 laps etc). There is no ego in cars - everyone knows you have owned many that 99.9% of people never will. Your obvious talent is in your quest for perfection and attention to detail in your builds - this is what draws me to the channel.

Looking at this as an outside youtube viewer, i think you are a businessman and doing business is what makes you thrive, dare i say happy?.
