the video I never thought I would make

[@simplylydia]

You talk about what we deserve, which does warm my heart. But my dear Tanner, YOU deserve even more. Your passion & love is what drives so many of us. Never stop doing what fulfills your heart & soul.

[@staceyplummer2864]

Chin up! Everything’s going to be ok. I subscribed because of you, Tanner. The other ladies were good, but they didn’t have your spunk and way of conveying easy-step-by-step instructions. I will continue to watch your tutorials as I’m sure most will too. Who knows, theses changes may be just what God had in his plans for you all. ❤️

[@Amc796]

Becca, if you are reading this, I just wanted to thank you for the great teaching videos. I wish you all the best.

[@alisonclark7540]

Hopefully she is and she gets to developing her own channel!

[@erinchamberlain1315]

So...I subscribed to this channel a while ago because I have deeply desired to learn and create. I have not watched many videos because life got in the way. Not sure why I was lead to watch tonight but.. my heart is with you all. I hear and feel your heart. Please, don't ever change or let life harden your sweet, sweet soul. Sending so much love, comfort, and peace to you, the current Maker's family, and those who have started a new journey! Thank you for reminding me that there are truly good people in this world! I needed this tonight!

[@anneharland4480]

Thank you Tanner for sharing this. I will continue to pray for Makers Gonna Learn and the direction God is guiding you on. I wish Becca and Rachel all the best.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you for the prayers, Anne! We really appreciate it!❤

[@jaedee_1]

THIS right here.. we need more of this in the world. I appreciate you… so much. You told your story. Your courage and strength is intoxicating.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@RoxxStr]

Agreed! And I started watching because of Tanner about 3 years ago. I'm proud of you Tanner!! You'll do great and so will the others!

[@stephie_jo]

Making staffing decisions are always gut wrenching experiences. Thank you for letting us know what happened and for keeping everything professional and positive. I look forward to watching future videos!

[@nataliegrover8584]

God has placed an open door for each of you to grow, He's with each of you. Keep on keeping on, best wishes to Becca and Rachel on their next door and Tanner your door is open wide for a blessing too!

[@darlahpotechin1668]

I am so incredibly sad about this news. I am not sure what happened that Rachel was let go and then have Becca hand in her resignation. I wish to still see them in the crafting community in some capacity. I will be upset if they just fade away. Not to say goodbye is difficult as they brought so much to this group especially as of late. I wish you well, Tanner. I wish them well. I do hope the changes are good ones. To be honest, even though it doesn't appear this way, I am a loss for words.

[@IdahosColorLady]

Sorry to hear about Becca leaving, too. Thank you Tanner for personally sharing this news with us. You have been missed. Lots of changes for all. Not easy to do as a biz leader. Sending the best to Becca & Rachel on their futures. Thank you for all you gave and taught all of us. New season, new chapter for all on so many levels. We are all in the process of Overcoming! 😍❤😇

[@atwiztedkai]

Tanner, first off, thank you for your complete transparency in this video. I truly appreciate your servant’s heart. You are a pastor in the community that you have created, and the people here love you for YOU, not for what you can superficially give, but your joyful spirit and service. I became a member of this community in November 2022, when I was searching for help with the new Cricut that my wife had purchased for me. I found several tutorial videos on KZbin, but yours were the best and most informative ones. I bought a monthly membership and then turned around to get the yearly membership when I could afford it. You have given so much to the world, not just for the cutting community, but the world in general…by showing up and offering your joyous energy. I speak only for myself here, but know others will agree, that I am truly thankful and blessed to have you and your team in my life, which is forever changed in the best way possible! Keep doing you, and God will show up and shower you with His blessings!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you so much!!!

[@melissacoronado5046]

Hi Tanner - thank you for your transparency, courage, and your passion to empower the KZbin community to learn something new and embrace challenges that come our way. I’m thankful for Rachel and Becca for sharing their skills and making us laugh while we learn together. They will be missed and I know the MGL community will be there to support you all in the different paths each of you takes. I look forward to seeing and hearing the great things to come from MGL, Rachel, & Becca. Wishing you all success from Texas! Melissa

[@rosiemunoz7469]

Tanner, these are doors opening for new beginnings! As long as you keep making, we'll keep learning and crafting with you!

[@jessicaartus7752]

100% agree

I am a new member appreciating you for who you are, I know first hand that change is hard. Someone told me as I move forward in this life to put GOD first and everything else will be okay. GOD GOT YOU TANNER!! - Irene from Georgia

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you, Irene! 💖

[@pokikii]

You. Are. Amazing. Thank you for everything seriously. I never would have purchased a cricut if it wasn’t for YOU specifically. Your videos led me to my purchase and I’m so proud of you for coming to these realizations. I’d do anything to be a part of this channel but I know I’m just getting started in my journey and never going to get that opportunity but I just hope you keep doing what you do best. You’re a gem & I hope you get back to a positive mental position. 💛✨

[@Ze2Be]

I remember you when you were just a little guy sharing your knowledge on You Tube. I once told you that you would grow up to do great things and you have. With growth comes pain, but that is what makes us better and stronger and as you said change is hard. Keep up your positive spirit, it will serve you well and it will serve the company as well. We are all here to support you, so keep the faith and keep on showing up!

[@theresaforte2202]

I wish them the best! They’ll be missed! I just realized the other when I received a video with Becca in it that all this time I wasn’t subscribed! Well I am now… I pray nothing but the best for them both! I hope you & the new team members will mesh well together as you all have been!

[@margaretcardenas4686]

Tanner thank you for pouring your heart out to us I love that your words show positive vibes God will carry all of you through this

[@tamiahall6329]

Tanner, I love the energy that you bring to KZbin. I know this next chapter is going to be even more amazing, as long as you are present.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you for the love and support!❤

[@jeaniecolwell1531]

Tanner I can't wait to see more of you and less of Rachel. I'm sorry but I can't stand watching her videos. I only watch your videos and Mr. Crafty pants.

[@marciechristopher6439]

This right here! ^^^^

[@angelaj2771]

Tanner, I'm proud of you to recognize that you needed a break. I have to say I really like this side of you. Some of the videos felt overly hyped and forced. I feel like there was much more of a connection with this video. Stay strong Tanner you're an awesome guy.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you so much!❤

[@tguyette]

Tanner thank you for addressing the departures and your lack of presence over the last year or so. It really had become the Rachell and Becca channel and we will miss them. But you did build an organization and following from the ground up and I’m sure you and Courtney will be able to make it great again! I think you need to stop selling so much… Settling down and getting your crafting back in the forefront would help. Good luck to all.

[@barbaraparker8225]

I agree. The selling is making my hair fall out. Annoying.

[@lawner26]

Yup definitely agree! The selling selling selling aspect was getting very annoying…to the point I was thinking of unsubscribing to the channel!

[@Grasshoppertrish]

I get that they need to sell, but I believe the content should drive it, not the "infomercial" feeling. Best wishes for the next chapter of the channel. 🥰

[@abigailchipman8732]

I’m glad someone said it. I love the content here but the first ten minutes of any video pushing the membership just started getting to me. Tanner, hang in there. God has you and He won’t let you fall.

[@barbaraparker8225]

@@abigailchipman8732 Down south, we have a saying: "Pigs get fed. Hogs get slaughtered." The incessant selling seems greedy and it was starting to make viewers want to slaughter the hog. It okay to "casually" mention membership at the end of every video. But to start a video with selling, or stop a teaching video in the middle to sell membership doesn't work for the viewers, particularly for those of us who are already members. We are tuning in to see a technique, a tip, a trend, etc. We don't like being aggressively sold to incessantly. Just put the membership infomation in the video's SHOW MORE section and casually remind non-members of the opportunity at the very end of the video. Most people will watch until the end if the video is interesting.

[@lwhite530]

Praying for you all. We need to change in order to grow. Will miss Rachel and Becca. Wishing them all the luck!

[@ediliacastro9071]

Best of luck to you Tanner! My heart goes out to you. I felt this and felt you holding back tears. Praying for you on your journey 💗

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thanks so much for your love, support, and prayers! It's really appreciated!

[@SarahElizabethRay]

This made me cry. Tanner, you’re one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met!! I’m so proud of you and cannot wait to see what all you continue to do!! We love you!!! You got this boo!!

[@elmorox1237]

My husband bought me a Cricut about 2 yrs ago. I was so intimidated that it sat on our coffee table, taunting me. Then, I started looking for KZbin videos, and there you were! The positivity that radiated from you was so calming. I begin to refer to you as "My Friend, Tanner."

[@Aidfabulous]

Blessings to you, Tanner. You are a beautiful human being and God has many plans for you to serve.

[@MissGvous85]

You articulated this situation beautifully. There is only one certainty in life and that is ‘uncertainty’. Your platform of creativity has brought so much to my life after immense grief, retiring after 40 years of teaching, and basically returning to myself…..and that includes awakening my own creative passions. Thank you. All the very best for what’s to come. You seem to be such a sweet soul…so don’t let events or people change that.

[@ieshakieser7439]

❤️❤️❤️ I love the transparency in this tanner!! You are so brave for this video. Many of us, myself included, are struggling with mental health and figuring out our next steps. We support you! God has you and all your work family in His hands.

[@YogaDana8]

Really enjoy all of your videos. Sometimes we need to take care of self, make a change, reset, and take care of our mental health. This is very important so you sharing helps others share and talk. This week is 5 years since I lost my spouse to unknown depression. Always be kind! Erase the stigma. Embrace with Grace changes. best of luck to each of you and I look forward to more crafts and fun from all of you.

Tanner, as a business owner, we also lost two valuable employees this year within a week of each other. It is difficult and change is not easy, but God sees us through these times and he will provide if we just continue to be faithful. He is the the God of the valleys just as much as the mountains. Just keep the faith and just continue to do you and it will all work out.

[@RoxxStr]

Amen!!

Sorry to see Rachel go. She was great at teaching us..Good luck to all of you as you find joy in your new paths.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you so much!

[@melaniefisher8823]

The only reason I am commenting here is because you said you wanted to hear the response. I rarely watched videos here, and if I did I would fast forward through the "selling" part of it because #1 it got to the point where I could repeat it verbatim, because the script never changed; #2 I couldn't stand the greed...so, as a newbie (my cricut is still in the box) I'm hoping this channel WILL inspire me, because honestly it didn't before. I change the channel on my tv if an infomercial comes on and I did the same thing here. I found this channel only a short while ago, and I look forward to seeing where it will go because I am hoping it will become more of what I'm looking for: An educational and inspirational and motivational channel.

[@Thegondas]

Same. It just feels like greed takes over when cash is involved. One can easily lose themselves.

[@crystalludin1371]

Tanner, first let me say thank you! It’s not easy to open up and be raw in front of others let alone on KZbin! I’m a member and was so excited when I found MGL. In March of this year I lost my father to COVID. He was my world and I lost my joy. I stopped crafting, stopped pretty much everything and watching this video ignited the flame in me to get back to my Cricut and crafting! I can’t wait to see what the future is going to hold for MGL.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So sorry for your loss!🙏 Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate you!

Thank you for your candidness. I cannot wait to see what the next chapter brings. Since I've been a member from MGL, I have learned so much and my journey took me on different directions.

Oh Lawd, I’m crying already at 1:06. I don’t want you to feel anyway but fabulous, but… ok I be back after I finish your video. 😢💕 Phew, I was worried that you weren’t going to be here, but you are and now these are happy tears. I’m thrilled for you and happy to see what’s next with you. Change is way hard, and I’m going through a change. Just two days ago, I told myself, no. You are going to embrace this change and turn it into a beautiful change. 13 days ago, I could barely get out of my bed, because, I feared this new life I’m crawling into. I’m tossing the fear and I say cheers 🥂 to the future. ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing, you totally touched my heart. God Bless and God Speed to all of us walking forward. 😊💕

No worries people will survive. I subbed b/c of you Tanner and honestly tuned out when the ladies took over. I don’t doubt they were good, but your personality is what captivated me to learn more. As an owner you have to do what’s in your and your business best interest. I wouldn’t doubt you’ll have competition coming at you soon, but it’s all good! There’s room for everyone + I’m sure you taught them well 😊

I have to add, you was one of my first inspirations and teachers as a crafter beginner a few months ago. Thank you for being an inspiration!

I found you channel because of this video. And I can watch your videos for hours 😂😂😂 and I will definitively support you! Just by listening to your sweet voice has me hooked wanting to see more. You are an excellent instructor, things seem so easy because of the relaxing way you explain things. Thank you for that and remember the sky is the limit!! 👏👏👏👍🥰

[@Aries040460]

Tanner thank you for sharing. You are the reason I subscribe to your channel. The first time I saw one of your videos I was like this is the one! He’s who I need to follow to learn the ends and outs of my Maker. I was also just thinking about you a few days ago. I’m very spiritual and believe you having to make this video was the reason why I had to say a prayer of strength for you. As you said it’s a new season and with each season we change clothing to accommodate for the weather. That’s all you and the team are doing is changing for the season. Rachel and Becca’s season with you helped them and you to grow and accomplish what needed to be done during that season. I know they will do well because you all embraced each other and that showed through the videos. It’s always hard to say goodbye but without goodbyes there would never be hellos or it’s good to see you again. You are amazing and the talent God instilled in you was for a greater purpose. Never stop. God’s got you even when you feel like falling apart. Fall into His arms and let Him renew your strength. Thanks for being you. 💖

[@torilayne233]

I was so busy with life last year that I put my hobbies on hold and never even knew this was going on! I bought my DIL a Cricut for Christmas and told her “I have the best teacher for you to follow”. When I logged in to forward your channel, that’s when I discovered this video. I feel terrible that I didn’t see this the day you posted it. 😢 I discovered you when you unboxed the Cricut Maker and I just fell in love with your enthusiasm. I didn’t even know what a Cricut was prior to your unboxing You were so inspirational and taught me so much. For years I followed you religiously and then got so busy. As far as what you went through, we can only ever be truly happy and truly excel if we are true to ourselves and the passion is there. At some point it catches up to you no matter how hard we try to convince ourselves that we are doing the right thing. Sometimes what we want to believe is the right thing simply isn’t. Sounds like the case with MGM last year. I’m proud of you for figuring this out about your business, I know it wasn’t easy. You’re young and still have a lot of growing to do but sounds like you’re doing a great job figuring things out and you’ll always have support from me and thousands of others! ❤

[@zveruno4203]

Tanner you are my teacher my mentor not just with arts and crafts or with the cricut but with finding myself and my destiny speaking things into existence manifesting my business and getting closer with God you have taught me show me and most importantly without even knowing me had confidence in me and getting ahead in life just by watching the video and i hope everything you've taught us throughout the years you're able to continue finding yourself thank you for everything you have shown me throughout these years Weatherby on the webinar or KZbin video you're truly a Tim preciate it by anybody who really cares about you and your future! I wish nothing but the best for you.... stay blessed!

Thank you for your video and honesty.

Thanks Tanner for sharing your story you truly are and inspiration.

[@barbaraparker8225]

The only thing that remains constant is change itself. Everything changes. Employee's expectations and demands change as they see you prosper. MGL is your vision, your company and your blessing. You will be fine. And they have learned enough in your shop to create their own successful businesses. There is enough room in the crafty world for all of the good players. I am certain we will see them on their own KZbin channels soon. And I am certain many will follow them as well. That does not mean that you will lose followers. Scripture tells us to be anxious for NOTHING. Fear not. Have faith. Keep creating. Keep loving. Keep being kind. Keep taking the high road. Blessings sent from Dallas, Texas.

[@jillb7234]

Wow! Everything is going to work out just fine for you Tanner! I started watching your channel years ago when you pretty much by yourself. You taught me how to use my Cricut because I was at a loss where to even begin. I really enjoyed learning from you. I’ve felt for a while now that there was just too much going on at once during filming and learning has been a little difficult. I feel there is too much talking and learning something simple took so much longer. I think the MGL is awesome but so much time is spent selling it. Sorry but getting back to you will be awesome! You’ll do just fine!!!!!!!!!

[@waynewilson8775]

Tanner you have been AWESOME, and I want to say that you and your staff have really helped me. I am 78 years old and need this help.

[@karenturner8147]

Thank you, Tanner, for the transparency and the honesty. My heart broke as soon as you started this video because I thought you were ending Makers Gonna Learn. I'm so grateful to you and your whole team, past and present, that you are not. One thing we can count on is change. Nothing stays the same forever. If it does it leads to discontentment and heartache. Change means growth. I'm so proud of you. I'm also extremely grateful, I found you on line when I was at my lowest point in my life but listening to you and your team you brought me out of the depths and made me smile and laugh again. I will owe you forever, even if you don't know how very down I was. I'm excited to see what's next - I am behind you and will be praying! God bless Makers Gonna Learn!

[@HubbaColo]

Tanner sometimes I think you expect more out of yourself than what we expect out of you. Growth is an amazing thing and we never know where it will take us. Enjoy the ride, it is much deserved in your aspect 💙

Tanner. I absolutely love and adore your videos, your personality, and how positive your are. You really do make the world shine a little brighter with your smile and attitude. You are such a beautiful person on the inside and out, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say how proud I am of you for doing this video, for letting us be aware of the changes, and am so happy that we'll get to see more of you and your bright, sunshiney face!🥰 thank you for taking your time, and putting your heart into this video. It definitely made me cry, we will all miss Becca and Rachel!! I promise you though, I personally can and will NEVER get sick of seeing your face, and watching your videos!! Can't wait for all the amazing ones to come! #foreverfan ❤ keep up the awesome work you and everyone at MGL do! We all love you!!!

I love their honesty ty Tanner.. God never gives us more than we can handle

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you!❤

[@karengramm4962]

Tanner, I cried ! I think You stepping up and were honest about everything speaks volumes about you as a person. I’m a firm believer that people come and go when their purpose (maybe a lesson we needed to learn from them, or them from us) is done. I hope you weee all able to part as friends. I think you are strong In your faith and that will carry you a long way.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you so much for the love and support, it's greatly appreciated.

Tanner our life changes just like the changing seasons every year. God allows us to go through changes to show us what He can do in and through us if we allow Him to. Best wishes of great success to the ladies that worked with you for so many years. I can't wait to see what new things in regards to your business as well as you and your wife God will bring.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thanks so much! 💖

Hey Tanner, you are where you are supposed to be doing what you are supposed to be doing. The Universe has this all planned out so trust it, follow it, and allow destiny to lead you to where you need to be. I have undergone a similar situation of re-structuring in the last 3 months and yes, it's hard going against what you personally believe is the "grain" but a higher power has my back and I put trust in that and now I'm slowly getting back on my feet. Keep the faith and keep moving forward, even if it very slowly. Just don't stop.

[@angiebarnes5313]

Glad you came forward with what you sincerely needed to share in this video. I have been watching for quite a long time now, back when you and Rachel started, and happy to watch your channel grow . I have missed seeing you in videos, however understood you had your reasons. As difficult as it is to realize, the connection we all make via internet is not a truly personal “friendship”. It is great to feel invited into your home, to share in fun, the ups and downs of your daily lives , but it is not anyone’s right as a viewer to demand to know “ALL” or make threats to leave based on facts they simply don’t know. I think Tanner , Rachel and Becca did such a great job at making us all feel like we were welcome group of “friends” , that some people lost perspective on reality somewhere along the way. Change is simply part of life, I feel for you Tanner losing friendship I know you have had for a very long time. I wish both of these young talented women all the best and look forward to more of Tanner’s genuine brand of crafting inspiration and sincere passion in the days ahead.

My heart Literally fell to my stomach and the pang is still there. My heart goes out to the MGL team, past and present. But God has a plan in store for all of us. I believe God has a change in store for all of us through out our lives and with this our destiny is ever evolving for the good he has planned for us. Tanner the Lord made you a strong man with grace and humility. God blessed you!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

U made me cry 😭 never say sorry we need breaks sometimes we need to take care of yourself your amazing

[@lejoynichols]

I am very new to the MGL community and to Cricut as well. In fact, I've been scared to open the boxes and use anything I bought this past summer. (I used a small biz grant to buy ALL THE THINGS. Mug Press, sml and med Heat Press, newest Maker, the Cricut Joy plus tons of bundles and accessories.) I have watched a couple of the videos and enjoyed them, but having just gotten started with the channel, I didn't really get a chance to know the ladies well. This video is the first time that I've seen you! Despite all that, I really felt your heart in this video. I'm so happy you got the much needed break and recharge you needed and that you found some clarity. I so look forward to seeing your lovely face and feeling your energy coming through the screen. You have a genuinely beautiful spirit. ❤ (I also look forward to getting the guts to learn how to use my million dollars of new cricket products!)

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you for the support, we appreciate it. We look forward to having you in MGL family.

[@scrappyyankee]

Awww Tanner, I am heartbroken for the pain that you are going through right now, but just remember this too shall pass! Change is hard and at the same time it can lead to bigger and better things. Am excited for your new beginnings. Sending you love and light. 💖💞

[@pristinabread]

Rachel is the reason I even started watching this channel, I hope she starts her own channel. I found her to be easy to follow and watch. I felt that she was makers gonna a learn.
