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

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

Some advice to consider- never ever announce that you will lay off employees well in advance of carrying out the layoffs. It will lead to anxiety and bad morale among your employees. I’ve been on both sides of the table during hard times.

[@Brodozer39]

Not only that, but valuables start disappearing and things start to get damaged.

[@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.

Originally when you said you had a project with the lotus. That’s what I thought. I thought right away you were building your own venom GT.
