This was a fair video. I’m glad you made it. Production Tim says good back drop and lighting too 🤙 keep doing what you love and it will shine through into the vids. All good dude. ✊
This has become real junior high. This is an essential "he said, he said" and something that viewers really don't need to worry about, nor hear about from either side. There was a warning to be respectful when the comment tag was clicked on, really? Some people are clearly jerks and make comments just to get a reaction. But on the other hand when you're in the "public eye" even as much as elk shape, you should have some thick skin. You worry too much about being viewed as a solid guy and never at fault and without arrogance. Neither are always the case.
There is always so much to the story that nobody needs to know, business is business and a vast majority of people will never understand that. I feel you both are taking as high of a road as you can. Hang in there I wish you both the best.
I would'nt give someone 50% ownership of my Trademarked business that I had built up over the last 10 years either. Your offer to Tim of 50% TH-cam revenue + offering to hire him was a fair one and he chose to decline. That's business, You did the right thing Dan, stay true ABT in the pursuit, from Australia 🎯
I keep following what Elkshape is doing for several years now, because this is the definition of transparency and honesty. I can’t imagine how hard this video would be to record. Great work as always Dan!
Change is inevitable. We don’t know when or where at times, but it will eventually happen. A chapter can be 5 pages long or 25 pages long. Enjoy that chapter and be thankful for it, learn from it and grow. I watched Tim’s video and I like your breakdown as well. I liked your idea of an announcement video so that there wouldn’t have been so much confusion from some folks and those who were upset about a “handshake” deal without context. I hope for continued success and growth for you both and God Bless. 🙏😇🏹
Dan well said. I think is great that you addressed the situation. Life is full of hard decisions and business decisions are very tuff. Just keep rolling out the great content.
Good video Dan. Glad you put this out there for the subscribers to give a full picture. You've said it many many times for anyone listening, there's room for everyone. Hoping Tim finds success in his own ventures, and I look forward to more ABT videos and elk content here.
Thing’s don’t always work out the way we expect. Life goes on and the sun will shine tomorrow. Stay positive and keep hammering, life is short even on it’s longest days.
Dan, really appreciate the transparency on your part. This kind of stuff is always hard but this might be for the best. Elk Shape is your dream and your vision, and your offers to Tim were really generous. I think in the end, Tim just has to find follow his dream. I wish you both success in the future.
The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay. - Henry Ford Much respect for both of y’all.
Great video Dan. Thanks for doing this video and sharing your points and perspective. You honestly don’t owe any of us any explanation for making business decisions for your company. Good luck to Tim and his new adventures. Stoked for the Elkshape crew and what’s happening next.
Glad you made this video Dan. Tim’s video definitely needed a little more context from your side. I’m a long time subscriber to your channel and now it will stay that way. I like how you roll.
Business is business and it def can be messy. Appreciate the clarity as Tim's vid was a bit surprising. As you said doing a send off would have been cooler but what evs .... looking forward to what is coming in the near future!
Great vlog. I feel you both did a good job at staying positive. I did see Tim’ s post last week and didn’t take it negatively at all. I do see where some things might have sparked emotion however for people to slam you was unacceptable. The details are between the two of you. I would like to see you guys occasionally be on each channel just for the mutual respect. Keep it up . Heading OTC Colorado this year and dissecting everything on your hunts. Bugle On!
Thanks for sharing. Real. Transparent. It's better for you guys to be together... on "this" channel. Tim brought a story line that most can relate to and liked. The chemistry between you, Tim, and MFJJ was really good. I think you did everything you should've in trying to keep him.
Glad you did this, I saw his video and something felt off about the projected result on it. I knew there was more to it then what was said and hearing both sides I can see how I felt that way. You both are good dudes, you had no reason to give up the ES % of any number as the YT is portion of the brand not it's entirety. I was here before, I will be staying as well.
I vote for a producer Tim and Elkshape collaboration in the spring. Maybe the follow up to the future of both channels and adventures in both. Forever a fan of what you guys have accomplished as a team and beyond excited to see the separate adventures from both channels 🤙🏼❤️
I'm excited dude, love the Elkshape Channel, can't wait to see what Tim does with his endevours. All of you guys have been a massive help and motivator in my journey into the world of archery. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This makes perfect sense to me. IF you find that an employee wants to own part of the company but wouldn't be able to bring an equal or proportionate amount of time and value to that business, ownership simply shouldn't be an option.
Elk shape is still the main reason I watch your channel and will continue to watch elk shape your Chanel is inspiring to me just bilt my own bow press today thanks to you motivating me it lern how to do something for myself .pic. of it come.
Much deserved vid to bring the proper context. I agree that Tim’s vid lacked the proper context and could potentially sow seeds of doubt in some viewers minds. I never questioned you for a second. You’re a stand up guy Dan and I myself have much respect! Keep it up man 👊🏻
Usually when stuff like this happens I feel like one side is bashing the other or they both lie to make themselves look good but I feel like this was far from that. This was genuine and truthful. Awesome job by both of you
Good video. Your word has always been honorable and true. It has been proven and that is what I appreciate. Good bad and ugly. Good luck to Tim. He will do great.
Business is hard, especially when you start to develop a friendship out of it. Glad you made this video as I was wondering what happened and context did lead a little negative for me… glad to see both sides and that Tim is in agreement! Following both channels keep up the great work guys.
People just wanna be pissed off about something. Y’all both have my respect, and I’m subbed to both. Doesn’t cost me a thing! Keep up the hard work thanks for making content.
I appreciate the realness Dan. Giving away part of your business is tough, and I don’t think you made a wrong choice. I hope you guys stay friends and work out whatever underlying resentment is still there. You guys are both solid dudes, and I wish you both the best of luck.
Great video. Caught Elk Shape when I started thinking about picking up archery. I enjoying the educational aspect, the camaraderie and how you told the story. I started shooting last July. I'll keep an eye on both of your channels. Looking forward to what the future holds.
I found your podcast way before I saw that you had a TH-cam and once that happened I was introduced to your amazing friends Jake, Tim, and MFJJ. I was bummed enough about Tim’s departure that I even informed my wife that it had happened but that never caused me to think adversely towards either one of you. Tim had his reasons and he can share as much as he wants; it’s an event that happened in his life. Dan can share as much as he wants or doesn’t; it’s an event that happens in his life, too. Few of us are fortunate enough to know these two personally so I believe we need to think the best of them and be grateful for all they they did together to enrich our lives through their hard work and dedication. God bless Dan and Tim, both. Much love to Jake, MFJJ, and, of course, Mrs. Elkshape for holding it down!
Kudos!! I’m glad you took your time to address this. I’m glad you acted professional (I did NOT expect anything other than). I enjoyed your “team”, but life is like a train trip….people get on and off that train….it was Tim’s choice to get off that train and try a different track! I enjoy both of you and will continue to follow both! Well done, sir!
I love your channel. Sad to see Tim go. I subscribed to his channel but I am not interested in golf. Lol I have done enough business to know there are always two sides. Glad you clarified. I never thought you were greedy. I look forward to future bow and arrow builds. Thanks for all you do.
It all makes sense, that was pretty passionate truthful react video. Thanks Dan, I’ll always be a loyal follower. Thanks for the work you put in to giving us great content. I believe in the long run, you and Tim might co exist in worlds that work for both channels. Love you guys!!’
Hate to see people jump to conclusions without knowing all the info or even when you do have all the info. I agree we need to be united not divided in all areas of life. If you have beef with someone tell it to there face or in private. Not in a public comment (referring to your nasty comments you got). Like our parents told us growing up if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say it at all. Much respect for all you do Dan and the way you do it. Keep up the good work, and keep ignoring the haters for their will always be some. Good luck Tim! Will be following all your endeavors as well and god bless both you guys and all you do
Two sides to every break up it's been awesome watching u all together now it will be fun to see u all grow on your own even more then before MFJJ has his channel as well so to all the guys wish you all the best of luck I will continue to be a sub of all you guys channel's
You are an amazing person, what you have taught me in life a persons trail is always changing Thanks for the transparency and with that you will always prosper
Being a business owner, I learned very early, there’s a business hat and a friend hat. Never get the 2 confused. There’s no reason separate relationships can’t exist, but at the end of the day, what we do feeds our family
Great video Dan, nothing but absolute respect for you and Tim for that matter as well. Always good to see two business minded individuals like yourselves handle things so honorably, its truly refreshing. I always enjoy all of the elkshape content, keep it up.
Look as the owner of Bulletproofwelding. You both bought up what happened. More or less, you have told your stories both tried hard to stay on the high road. ( Good job ) Good luck try to stay friends.
Hey dude, Got nothing but positive vibes your way. Parting company is always hard no matter what the circumstances. I appreciate the openness on both sides. Hope you don't get wrapped up in the negativity. Got positive vibes sending your way. Keep workin hard and I will keep watching the content. You guys share the same pashion I have recently discovered in the last 3 years of archery and want to just pass on that you guys make a positive impact. Keep the arrows flyin straight!!!
Stated off awkward and I'm glad I finished it. Couldn't agree with you more Dan- A joint going away video would have been a cool send off LOVE TO SEE A FUTURE JOINT - with you guys at some point.
I love both these gentleman and part of me is sad they split, the other side is happy they're pursuing their own dreams and going to put even more content out. Based on what I heard and saw, the business man in me feels Dan's offer was very fair considering he had an established business prior to Tim's entry. Equity negotiations are never easy and more often than not, the current outcome is what we see. Kudos to both parties for taking a high road and continuing to uplift one another. "Rising tide lifts all boats" Best of luck to Dan and Tim.
Dan, 100% class and 100% agree with everything you said. Well done. I'm sure you and Tim learned a lot from each other, and you will both be better going forward. Ignore the trolls and keep doin' what your doin'!
Bro, been watching you all for a while now. Watched Tim’s intro video. Your reply was great. I also saw Tim’s comment. Business and friendships are tough. You guys are both looking for the best in your lives while helping others. Haters will say anything and make a judgement with little to no actual knowledge. Keep putting it down and taking the high road. Elk shape will shine through and through. Love the channel and the content. Bows, hunts, family, and fitness. Sty true my brother!
Change is the only constant..I like your take on this situation, hoping you both do well. Enjoying what you’ve created with Elkshape and looking forward to more.
It's to bad you had to make this video! Always like your guys stuff. I have had to deal with this multiple times over the years with this type of business issue keep up the great work guys. Change is good!
Wholesome 👌 watched both videos and got the same vibe from both, Tim wanted to persue his own thing, or be compensated enough to lay that dream down. As someone that's run his own thing for a long time that is literally what these decisions come down to. Can't believe that people were jumping in the comments accusing you without having sat in those meetings. Haters gonna hate, but I'm gonna enjoy both channels 🤘
Dan from what I have seen you are a very good friend and person in general. I don’t think it’s right for anyone to be putting in any kind of comment negative about you or Tim. No one knows what truly transpired and for them to make comments especially negative ones just shows what type of a person they are. You keep doing you bro you do an awesome job man and love the contact and the transparency you project. Looking forward to TAC and hopefully ending up on the mountain shooting some arrows with you.
At the end of the day I have a ton of respect for both of you, Dan and Tim. And I completely understand why both of you made the business and life decisions that you did for the future. I feel like no matter what, the experiences both of you gained from working with one another is only going to progress and further your future endeavors. I’m excited to watch both of your channels grow and achieve success.
I was waiting for your take on his video, there are two sides to every story! Keep up the great work! ABT isn’t just about archery, it’s about making yourself better in life!
Probably better for you to each have your OWN channel. ! Better for him and better for you ! Thanks for clarifying . I saw Tim commented below so that was great ! I will follow both of your channels. Both of you took the high road !
Sad to see Tim go, he was a great part of the channel. I understand Tim wanting to go out in his own thing. He said it himself, that HE didn’t see a way moving forward and having 50/50. There’s no side to take here. It’s just a business relationship that both sides wanted to change terms and responsibilities and couldn’t meet eye to eye. Keep doing what you’re doing, which I think is great. Looks like I’ll have to go follow Tim as well.
Well handled. Id like to say that I think ELKSHAPE was always going to move well towards 100K subs with or without fancy production. In fact I would say I prefer raw and real over polished any day of the week. Keep slaying it Dan and I also wish Tim well and will watch his channel too as he is a cool guy as well
I'm stoked you made this video and also that Tim commented on it. You do such an awesome job with all the videos you put out and all the information you give out as well. I've only been shooting a bow for almost a year and a half but watching your videos want me to get better. I know I have a lot of shooting to do to improve but you guys make it so much easier for me to try harder and get better....thanks for the content and can't wait to see what the future holds with y'all
It does sadden me to see Tim part ways as I came into this channel with both of you being a big part of it. At the end of the day, business is business and I totally understand that. You are both really good dudes and I wish nothing but the best for both of you. Who knows, maybe we’ll see some colabs in the future🤷🏻♂️
Both ya'll are studs! I know I watch this channel to become a better elk hunter! As long as this channel stays its course as I believe it will, I will continue to sub and watch! Business is dynamic and some of us have been in the exact shoes and understand how hard partnerships can be a times. You watch, these 2 will both continue to kill it! Why can't you just fire MFJJ!!! lol lol lol
This was a fair video. I’m glad you made it. Production Tim says good back drop and lighting too 🤙 keep doing what you love and it will shine through into the vids. All good dude. ✊
Thanks Tim - learned a lot from you! Linked your channel in the video and description. Cheers to a bright future! -DS
Respect. Glad you commented. I'll be following your channel as well. Here's to a great 2023.
Very classy comment Tim! Both of you guys are top notch!
Very tasteful fellows. The hunting world is full of fine fellows.
@@ElkShape 2 dudes can disagree and still show respect. Well done!
This has become real junior high. This is an essential "he said, he said" and something that viewers really don't need to worry about, nor hear about from either side.

Dan thank you for your humbleness. It could have been real easy for you to trash talk. But you showed great professionalism.
I keep following what Elkshape is doing for several years now, because this is the definition of transparency and honesty. I can’t imagine how hard this video would be to record. Great work as always Dan!
Thanks Bryon - all good homie! -DS
Change is inevitable. We don’t know when or where at times, but it will eventually happen. A chapter can be 5 pages long or 25 pages long. Enjoy that chapter and be thankful for it, learn from it and grow.
I watched Tim’s video and I like your breakdown as well. I liked your idea of an announcement video so that there wouldn’t have been so much confusion from some folks and those who were upset about a “handshake” deal without context.
I hope for continued success and growth for you both and God Bless. 🙏😇🏹
Dan well said. I think is great that you addressed the situation. Life is full of hard decisions and business decisions are very tuff. Just keep rolling out the great content.

Thing’s don’t always work out the way we expect. Life goes on and the sun will shine tomorrow. Stay positive and keep hammering, life is short even on it’s longest days.
This is pure and honest and why you will continue to succeed!
Nothing but respect for you! Well handled.
That video was a class act!! I think it shows how humble and transparent and how real you are!! Keep up the content!!
I've been waiting for this video to come out. You are awesome, man, and keep up the good work.
You are a class act... Nothing else needs addressing , thanks Dan
Dan, really appreciate the transparency on your part. This kind of stuff is always hard but this might be for the best. Elk Shape is your dream and your vision, and your offers to Tim were really generous. I think in the end, Tim just has to find follow his dream. I wish you both success in the future.
Dan you work hard in many different pursuits that lead to ElkShape and have been building your brand for many years. Please keep the wisdom coming 🏹

Much respect for both of y’all.
This video is great, well spoken and makes me like elk shape more. Congrats on great content 👏🏼
Great video Dan. Thanks for doing this video and sharing your points and perspective. You honestly don’t owe any of us any explanation for making business decisions for your company. Good luck to Tim and his new adventures. Stoked for the Elkshape crew and what’s happening next.
Well said, respect you both for the openness!
No need to have hard feelings towards each other! Life’s too short, forgive and forget.
Dan, you are the next Randy Newberg (meant as a compliment). Take the high road here as you always do. Keep up your good work.
Thank you! I wanna be the next Dan Staton! Appreciate the support! -DS
Glad you made this video Dan. Tim’s video definitely needed a little more context from your side. I’m a long time subscriber to your channel and now it will stay that way. I like how you roll.
Thanks for making this video Dan. The transparency is always appreciated and I look forward to both the channels.
Business is business and it def can be messy. Appreciate the clarity as Tim's vid was a bit surprising. As you said doing a send off would have been cooler but what evs .... looking forward to what is coming in the near future!
Great vlog. I feel you both did a good job at staying positive. I did see Tim’ s post last week and didn’t take it negatively at all. I do see where some things might have sparked emotion however for people to slam you was unacceptable. The details are between the two of you. I would like to see you guys occasionally be on each channel just for the mutual respect. Keep it up . Heading OTC Colorado this year and dissecting everything on your hunts. Bugle On!
Good luck in CO OTC!!!! -DS
Thanks for sharing. Real. Transparent. It's better for you guys to be together... on "this" channel. Tim brought a story line that most can relate to and liked. The chemistry between you, Tim, and MFJJ was really good. I think you did everything you should've in trying to keep him.
Good video, definitely staying with your channel !
Glad you did this, I saw his video and something felt off about the projected result on it. I knew there was more to it then what was said and hearing both sides I can see how I felt that way.
You both are good dudes, you had no reason to give up the ES % of any number as the YT is portion of the brand not it's entirety.
I was here before, I will be staying as well.
I vote for a producer Tim and Elkshape collaboration in the spring. Maybe the follow up to the future of both channels and adventures in both. Forever a fan of what you guys have accomplished as a team and beyond excited to see the separate adventures from both channels 🤙🏼❤️
Really love your channel and you have inspired me to get back into archery and go on some elk hunts!! Keep up the great videos god bless!!
That's really the main goal - inspire people and champion hard work! -DS
I'm excited dude, love the Elkshape Channel, can't wait to see what Tim does with his endevours. All of you guys have been a massive help and motivator in my journey into the world of archery. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This makes perfect sense to me. IF you find that an employee wants to own part of the company but wouldn't be able to bring an equal or proportionate amount of time and value to that business, ownership simply shouldn't be an option.

Nice clarification, agreed it left people wondering & assuming.
You guys are both awesome. Both of you have answered questions I have and know you both will succeed!
Well done gentleman. I am even more of a fan now seeing how you guys handled this respectfully! Love everyone’s content! Keep on shawacking! 🤘
Much deserved vid to bring the proper context. I agree that Tim’s vid lacked the proper context and could potentially sow seeds of doubt in some viewers minds. I never questioned you for a second. You’re a stand up guy Dan and I myself have much respect! Keep it up man 👊🏻
So glad you made this video Dan, I believe it clears everything up for certain people, Glad everything went the way it did and there was no bad blood!
Glad you both cleared the air of what was going on. I have learned so ouch from this channel and will continue to support you both.
Usually when stuff like this happens I feel like one side is bashing the other or they both lie to make themselves look good but I feel like this was far from that. This was genuine and truthful. Awesome job by both of you

Let’s go Dan! 👊🏻
115K subs td ! we are all here for you Dan !
Great video Dan, nothing but absolute respect for you and Tim for that matter as well. Always good to see two business minded individuals like yourselves handle things so honorably, its truly refreshing. I always enjoy all of the elkshape content, keep it up.
Well that’s wild as hell best story I ever heard on elkshape
Look as the owner of Bulletproofwelding. You both bought up what happened. More or less, you have told your stories both tried hard to stay on the high road. ( Good job ) Good luck try to stay friends.
Hey dude, Got nothing but positive vibes your way. Parting company is always hard no matter what the circumstances. I appreciate the openness on both sides. Hope you don't get wrapped up in the negativity. Got positive vibes sending your way. Keep workin hard and I will keep watching the content. You guys share the same pashion I have recently discovered in the last 3 years of archery and want to just pass on that you guys make a positive impact. Keep the arrows flyin straight!!!
Keep grinding Dan and ABT.
Dude, your a genuine guy. Keep up the good work. Hope it goes well for the both of you
Well said, you are a classy guy.
Keep on rocking. You have a great channel. I respect your hard work. I wish you and Tim the best.
Nothing but much respect to you both. Keep doing you both and ya both are going to succeed!
Dan, you were always the star of the show as long as we have you I don’t care who accompanies.
Stated off awkward and I'm glad I finished it.
Couldn't agree with you more Dan- A joint going away video would have been a cool send off
LOVE TO SEE A FUTURE JOINT - with you guys at some point.
I love both these gentleman and part of me is sad they split, the other side is happy they're pursuing their own dreams and going to put even more content out. Based on what I heard and saw, the business man in me feels Dan's offer was very fair considering he had an established business prior to Tim's entry. Equity negotiations are never easy and more often than not, the current outcome is what we see. Kudos to both parties for taking a high road and continuing to uplift one another.

Dan, 100% class and 100% agree with everything you said. Well done. I'm sure you and Tim learned a lot from each other, and you will both be better going forward. Ignore the trolls and keep doin' what your doin'!
Respect Dan, you're a good dude. You tried your hardest to keep him along.
Bro, been watching you all for a while now. Watched Tim’s intro video. Your reply was great. I also saw Tim’s comment. Business and friendships are tough. You guys are both looking for the best in your lives while helping others. Haters will say anything and make a judgement with little to no actual knowledge. Keep putting it down and taking the high road. Elk shape will shine through and through. Love the channel and the content. Bows, hunts, family, and fitness. Sty true my brother!
I think Dan handled this absolutely perfectly. Props to you Dan great video
Dan, great job modeling the Beatitudes here. Keep your focus sharp.
Good on ya Dan.
Good job keeping a level head and avoiding wild talk. I'm glad you cleared the air 👌
Change is the only constant..I like your take on this situation, hoping you both do well. Enjoying what you’ve created with Elkshape and looking forward to more.
It's to bad you had to make this video! Always like your guys stuff. I have had to deal with this multiple times over the years with this type of business issue keep up the great work guys. Change is good!
Great channel and I'll keep following both of y'all! Keep up the great work!
Wholesome 👌 watched both videos and got the same vibe from both, Tim wanted to persue his own thing, or be compensated enough to lay that dream down. As someone that's run his own thing for a long time that is literally what these decisions come down to. Can't believe that people were jumping in the comments accusing you without having sat in those meetings. Haters gonna hate, but I'm gonna enjoy both channels 🤘
I think you hit the nail on the head at the 9:50 ish mark. Would of helped both to do it together…Good luck to you both and keep up the good work 👊🏻
Dan from what I have seen you are a very good friend and person in general. I don’t think it’s right for anyone to be putting in any kind of comment negative about you or Tim. No one knows what truly transpired and for them to make comments especially negative ones just shows what type of a person they are. You keep doing you bro you do an awesome job man and love the contact and the transparency you project. Looking forward to TAC and hopefully ending up on the mountain shooting some arrows with you.
At the end of the day I have a ton of respect for both of you, Dan and Tim. And I completely understand why both of you made the business and life decisions that you did for the future. I feel like no matter what, the experiences both of you gained from working with one another is only going to progress and further your future endeavors. I’m excited to watch both of your channels grow and achieve success.
Good react video! Love this channel
Very professional way to handle the issue. Moving forward with class. Respect.
I was waiting for your take on his video, there are two sides to every story! Keep up the great work! ABT isn’t just about archery, it’s about making yourself better in life!
Probably better for you to each have your OWN channel. ! Better for him and better for you !
Thanks for clarifying . I saw Tim commented below so that was great ! I will follow both of your channels. Both of you took the high road !
Well done Dan. Keep crushin' brotha as I know you will!👊
Sad to see Tim go, he was a great part of the channel. I understand Tim wanting to go out in his own thing. He said it himself, that HE didn’t see a way moving forward and having 50/50. There’s no side to take here. It’s just a business relationship that both sides wanted to change terms and responsibilities and couldn’t meet eye to eye. Keep doing what you’re doing, which I think is great. Looks like I’ll have to go follow Tim as well.
Well handled. Id like to say that I think ELKSHAPE was always going to move well towards 100K subs with or without fancy production. In fact I would say I prefer raw and real over polished any day of the week. Keep slaying it Dan and I also wish Tim well and will watch his channel too as he is a cool guy as well
I'm stoked you made this video and also that Tim commented on it. You do such an awesome job with all the videos you put out and all the information you give out as well. I've only been shooting a bow for almost a year and a half but watching your videos want me to get better. I know I have a lot of shooting to do to improve but you guys make it so much easier for me to try harder and get better....thanks for the content and can't wait to see what the future holds with y'all
I feel that he was fair and respectful. Hope you guys can remain friends and also collaborate together.
It does sadden me to see Tim part ways as I came into this channel with both of you being a big part of it. At the end of the day, business is business and I totally understand that. You are both really good dudes and I wish nothing but the best for both of you. Who knows, maybe we’ll see some colabs in the future🤷🏻♂️
Both ya'll are studs! I know I watch this channel to become a better elk hunter! As long as this channel stays its course as I believe it will, I will continue to sub and watch! Business is dynamic and some of us have been in the exact shoes and understand how hard partnerships can be a times. You watch, these 2 will both continue to kill it! Why can't you just fire MFJJ!!! lol lol lol
