Hey, I really enjoyed your video! I'm trying to work on writing better hooks for our TH-cam videos, and this is really helpful!
As one TH-camr to another, I wanted to point out one tiny technical thing I noticed - the left channel of your audio is about 10 dB louder than the right channel, which means it sounds about twice as loud to the human ear. We find keeping the voices centered is the best bet for clarity.
This is nit-picky and the audio sounds great overall. Apologies for the unsolicited advice, but we've been working on our audio setup lately so I'm super keyed into these kinds of things.
Again, much respect for your channel and thank you for creating such a great video! 😀🙏

Hey David! Appreciate the kind words and feedback. I have actually heard that a couple of times and I just figured out how to fix it for future videos. Audio has been a tricky battle for me so always looking to improve.
If there is anything I can do to help with hooks, feel free to reach out!
P.S. love the name Payette Forward. Super clever!

​@@MisterMessinger Thanks so much! Audio is very, very hard, yet makes so much of a difference. With regard to hooks, we love to learn and to meet our fellow TH-camrs - I'll shoot you an email!

Good tips

[@AngelSalazar-cc1nf]

Have you ever wondered what bravery is? During the Odyssey there are many character traits, the most important trait, in my opinion, would be bravery. Odysseus blinded a cyclops and had killed the suitors? In the Odyssey the night when Odysseus and his men decided to show bravery and put a log in the cyclops' eye and blinded it. Odysseus kills the suitors when he had the time to kill them all and that shows bravery and who's boss.
During the odyssey, Odysseus' most important trait is bravery which shows when he blinded the Cyclops and killed the suitors.
