[@jansmith3158]

YES a good quality microphone is the most important piece of you tube video making equipment along with putting on the closed caption for the hearing impaired. Like Mary stated the viewers will "forgive" everything else but, if you cant hear viewers will move on to another video. Great to see Mary on your yt ch. I watch her & she is fantastic.

[@MarysNest]

@@jansmith3158- Thank you SO much!! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️

[@tinyhomenetworking]

Too many takeaways every time Mary is on ❤

[@MarysNest]

Oh Sean! You are such a sweetheart. Not sure I’m the genius…it’s you who is the genius. I owe all my success to everything I learned from you, the Think Media Team, and the Video Ranking Academy family! Thank you so much for all you do and share. You completely changed my life! Love and God Bless, Mary ❤️🤗❤️

[@cterrell1343]

The approach you take and the way you present your videos, plus the way you tell your story of developing this, are a really good encouragement for people just starting, especially those of us a few years over 21!! I reckon Sean should put you on the Think Media team!! :D Best wishes!

[@MarysNest]

@@cterrell1343- So happy you find my info helpful. Sean is the best teacher!!

[@homemadewithlucy]

This probably one of the best interviews I’ve watched at Think Media. I’m so inspired at what Mary have done with her channel. Thank you both! ❤

[@AlexanderGeorge]

Enjoyed this conversation, keep up with the good work! I'm at 20k subs at the moment, hopefully I'll get up there some time. Cheers

[@kelly.nicole]

You’re awesome! Very good information :)

[@clairegasamagera3777]

Sean, thank you for being a great listener . I liked Ms. Mary and everything she shared. I am grateful that as a younger person, you did not interrupt her or rush her. Thank you, Sean! Thank you, Ms. Mary, for sharing your wisdom and cooking skills with the world.❤❤❤❤❤

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Wow! Thanks so much for this conversation with Mary. I always get value from the podcast but Mary has been THE MOST relatable and helpful to me thus far, same niche, same age and philosophy. She really gave some clear and valuable insights. I especially appreciated her comments about the long haul and not getting discouraged if a video doesn't take off right away. Thank you, Mary and thanks Sean for having her on the podcast.

[@MarysNest]

Thank YOU for the kind words!! Glad you found it helpful!! Love, Mary

[@SisiYemmieTV]

I love this interview with Mary, our channels are similar as I'm almost approaching the 1 Million Subscriber Mark...I so much resonate with what she had to say. She's right, your subscribers do guide your journey, it has been the same for me.

[@GrammyMidwife]

I love Mary’s channel! She is so bubbly and makes everything so easy. Nice to see someone with similar interests talk about KZbin tips and her beginnings.

[@MarysNest]

Thank you SO much for the kind words! Love, Mary❤

[@cterrell1343]

Mary is a great guest Sean and her story is a real encouragement to others. Patience and the long view, plus always thinking about what will help the viewer, those are my main takeaways from this.

[@Parentingwiththefutureinmind]

Excited to start the journey with VRA. Mary's success is replicatable. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

[@MarysNest]

Definitely! You can do it and you will learn so much from Sean!! Love, Mary

[@socadancebookmcleod490]

She is just killing this interview. Sean usually talks more… but he is letting her go on and she is just dropping jewels.❤

[@ArnoldBPoetry]

great great conversation. I have to sleep now, but will watch the rest tomorrow. Great to see Sean, that you have the peace of mind and the wisdom to let her speak. Not many people are able to do that.... quality stuff my man!

[@kimberlymensah5063]

I absolutely love Mary! Sean, I want to thank you and your team for introducing me to her during our very first challenge together may God bless you and may God bless your family

[@TheCrossLegacy]

I had the privilege of doing an interview with Mary recently. She is such an amazing person and I am so blessed that she has influenced my life over the past couple of years.

[@MarysNest]

Hi Amy!! Thank you so much for the kind words. It was a joy chatting with you on your channel and it’s been such a joy getting to know you. I’m glad we are KZbin friends. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️

Thank you Sean for interviewing Mary. I love her videos and now regularly make my own sauerkraut after watching her video. I love her personality and how she calls her viewers, "Hello, my sweet friends. " So encouraging!

[@KevinKolbe]

What an absolute delight. Honestly I learned more from Mary than I have from a lot of “gurus”. So good. Thanks for sharing.

[@lapalma1928]

Mary is such an ideal spokesperson for VRA and all the great material you and your team teach. Thank you!!

[@farawayfred802]

I truly needed this video, thank you. Hopefully a year from now my channel will be adding value to other people's lives.

[@nikitascringer918]

You got this!

[@lexycorreia]

Thank you for this video! I've been following you guys for a while now and I'm glad you persistently post as I'm finally getting the lead out and moving on to start my KZbin journey. I, ironically, watch Mary on and off, so, it was good to see someone doing a genre I could moreso relate to. I do realise at this stage, any procrastination on my part is on ME and excuses are just that. I look forward to making a similar video with you guys in the future :)

[@lunazamoraart]

How nice! I signed up for VRA. Money well spent. I finally bought a nice cam and cage for my iPhone. I just wish I knew what to talk about!

[@cterrell1343]

you will have something to offer, maybe look at the times you've been able to help others or they've asked you for help... Best wishes. VRA is great value!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Great story! Always inspiring to see successful creators. Must make you guys @ Think very proud…as you should be.

Excellent discussion! Mary your channel is awesome! Some grand take-away s: use phone as 2nd camera; it’s ALWAYS about the viewer; CUT; how does this benefit my viewer; be patient; stay within you niche ‘umbrella’ -- Thanks Mary! Thanks Sean … excellent example of how it can be done ❤

[@valeriecarole]

Inspiring interview, even as someone who is a bit younger, but still older than some of the other people who have first began their KZbin channels. The one question I can’t answer is how do you start recording when you don’t know what to possibly start recording? I’m an introvert, but I want a platform to share my voice, but I haven’t figured out what I would want to share with the world. I just know that I always loved making videos as a child and making/editing videos for adoptable dogs. Nothing is really stopping me from recording; I’m just at a loss as to what to record. :(
