I'm with you, EyeofEddie. I learned a lot from this video and will try using these tips for upcoming projects. Thanks, Andrew! Great work 🙌🏾 Keep it up!
I’m a 70 year old ranch broker in Central Oregon. I come from a time where we used 20 or 36 exposure rolls of black and white film. My first aerial video work took place in helicopters with the door removed. I shot weddings and made 16X20 prints with a Nikon D70 - 6MP! I eventually went to Lumix M4/3 cameras for video and kept my Nikon D90 for still photography. I now use a Nikon D850 and. Lumix GH5 & G9II for my video along with a DJI Mavic 2 pro for the aerials. I’m getting ready to retire now and wondered where to go and what to do with my camera and video gear. My first idea is to do a mini-documentary about the people I worked so closely with for years - farmers and ranchers - to show “Where Your Food Comes From”. (Twinkies being but one exception). Your video has truly inspired me, Andrew. And also motivated me to stop planning and get busy with a shot list and start shooting the video, I’ve subscribed and so glad I found your channel. Like having my son explain this stuff. I’m grateful. Sorry to write War and Peace. Jim in Oregon
@ I went to junior high with a wonderful guy by the name of Mike Souza. His dad was my PE teacher and I always looked up to him. Any relation? Not a very common name. And thank you for your comment!!
"Fail often, and fail a lot". THAT right there is what holds me back! I don't even try because I want to be perfect right out of the gate, but that's obvi getting me nowhere, FAST! Thank you Andrew!
Andrew I discovered you a few days ago, hooked immediately. I am 54, African female, my son is 22. I am learning a lot from you and super inspired. You're so authentic and good. Your confidence in this video is elevated 😉 😊 keep up the good work 👏
Here, a part of the 20%. Working on creating content around my album. I released my self produced album TWENTY THREE. 23 songs of multiple genres. My mom was murdered at 23 years old and telling her story was my inspo. It took me years to craft the project and im just not in a space to MOVE ON from it. Being independent means your music is still new to a lot of the world, So I’ve been building production sets and performing acoustic versions of the songs with just my guitar or piano, my version of like a TINY DESK. Recording, editing, coloring, and designing the sets can be tedious, time consuming, and expensive at times. So videos like this are such inspo for me to just keep going focusing on the vision, with patience and persistence. I always feel like HA SOMEONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS ME, when i watch your videos.
Well, how can you know for sure? Indeed it has style that crosses with gawx, but it doesn't mean it was influenced by him. Some people go the same way without even knowing that there is someone doing the same.
I’m a migrant creator from Myanmar, currently living in Bangkok, starting everything from zero again. I was kinda burn out these days. and I found out your channel. you really inspires me a lot to continue my creations.
I don’t comment on TH-cam much, but this is one of the best cinematic “how to” videos I’ve seen in a full year. Thanks, Andrew for a great video that I’m sure I’ll reference over and over again. 👊🏼
this video was amazing man!! i def. got a LOT from this. your way of explaining and showing the b-t-s really gives the people insight on how to do this, lets get some dope shyt out in 2025 creators! and oh yea...stayed until the end;)
This was extremely useful. I’ll be buying your preset pretty much as a thank you for all the value I’ve gotten from your vids over the last year 💖 Keep at it!
Andrew you are one of my biggest inspirations, I love how you can be so real, loved the video and taking a peak behind the scenes. Thanks for all the help Andrew! 20% fam
I'm glad to be in this 20%. It's nice to see your process and learn from it. I'm in a place, where I want to write and shoot my first short film and your help is priceless. I always struggle with the initial idea, I always fall into a trap of trying to make something big and meaningful to the others, but I never made something really small and meaningful to me. I think this is the most important thing from your video - to write stories I'd like to hear. Thank you!
I’m a 2005 film school graduate , and as I watched your video it reminded me a lot of one of my favorite movies from back then. Amelie. I loved that at minute 12:00 you had it on your whiteboard! Keep making good shit my man! 🤜🏻🤛🏼
Hey Andrew, I’m apart of the 20%!! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos and it’s wonderful to see your creativity shine. I have been afraid to post due to being a complete beginner, and not as good as the people I look up to. I really want to get better though, so I will fail on until I find my way 😂!! Thanks again for your encouragement in these videos. I can only dream to create something as beautiful as you do one day. Keep going bro
This is perfectly edited for a adhd people. I love it. and the milanote board is genius for my brain to get finish all the video ideas and beat projects. :D
what a great milano section, they must be happy having you as a client because damn it made me want to use it haha Thanks for the whole video, something I wanna add about when you said about failure in the end, we often complain of art block when it's actually a fear of failure
endless flow of cuts under two seconds,and special effects. it is that kind of "filmmaking" everybody today thinks is the best thing. BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN THE BUSINESS IS DOING IT! their work will be forgotten and people will be watching "stalker", "reservoir dogs", "Turin horse" etc still in the year 2544.
🔥Just discovered this video, and you really. Hooked within the first 2 minutes because of clearly an awesome and genuine personality. Love the honesty and transparency througout the vid, hope you'll keep that always. More so that you are adressing what were the struggles you experienced in your journey, too few creators do this and only show a perfect result for copy pasting. I personally learn so much more from how you do it and what you choose to share. And you still manage to keep it so concise and relevant, crazy!🤯🤙 🌱Needless to say, I'm part of that 20% and after hitting react on this post, a sub. Keep it up, keep making mistakes/"failing"/learning and growing, and keep enjoing your journey! 🙏Thank you for sharing!
13:34 Allowing myself to fail is the part I’m working through now. Trial by error but I can’t be scared to fail. Love your videos! I want to make my own content, I’ve just put off writing and filming myself. Your videos help me be confident it’s going to be okay, I just have to try
Just came across your video and from the beginning I was hooked until the last second, technically part of the 20%. You gained a follower and made me motivated.
I watched the entire video. Not sure if you’ll read this comment, but I’ll go ahead and write it anyway. Yes, it’s true I have noticed many of your videos in some of your shots you may repeat a shot, or even a line or two from Gawx videos or other people (I don’t know). To be clear, when it comes to the visuals, your work stands out with your color contrasts and your film grain nostalgic vibes. Visually however, yeah many of these shots have been done before and there’s really nothing new under the Sun, But here’s where you shine Andrew, In being yourself. Even though you have used many shots that are similar to other channels, it’s your willingness to be vulnerable and share with others what you are going through that really shines through. Even this video, for instance, the Gawx video was really well made, but it still maintains that air of mystery that he loves to have. The “how did he do that?” Or “How is he getting these kinds of shots?” Or “How is he putting out that much work?”, and sure there’s a place for that, but with your version, you have been more open and sincere about the ACTUAL Literal process, particularly with those BTS shots of you sharing your creative process, that’s awesome man and those are the kinds of shots that will help you shine through whatever imposter syndrome or feelings of not being good enough that may arise in you. Keep being authentic and being yourself, show us who don’t know but want to learn, what you know, and watch how others will have a bit of your work in their work. Wouldn’t it be great to see others sharing their inner most thoughts in a cinematic way just like you? Or sharing behind the scenes and being themselves just like you? That’s where your work shines. Authenticity, not visually, though very compelling and very well made, but in yourself and your willingness to be vulnerable. Great video, GOD Bless man
Thank you to my 234 incredible subscribers! 🙌 I appreciate you!! Today’s a bit rough, but it’s another step forward. Just wanted to remind myself - and anyone reading, to stay strong and keep going. We’ve got this! 💪✨
I like that you’re showing how much work goes into filming when you’re dedicated. A whole week of filming this video that’s only 18 minutes. .This shows how much work it takes to film a project
@@TZOBIEntertainment he builds it on film look lut (kodak 2383) in davinci resolve so u know what to expect. But it’s very convenient so I dont have to worry too much about color grade.
Not sure how he did it, but he can be remote controlling the camera through his laptop. Clicks the zone he wants to focus on, it takes time for the computer to transfer the signal to the camera, and for the camera to react and finish the re-focus. So when he takes his hands off the keyboard that’s when he clicked, and just had 2 seconds to grab his head and settle into frustration Not sure how crisp his setup is, but that’s how it would work for my a6500 with a WiFi connection to an external controller like an iPad, iPhone or computer.
Okay, So I wasn't going to say anything until I realized you're still doing this in your latest video release. As an audio guy, I work for a radio station, and I'm an audio reporter, one thing you need to do is work on your vox, you voice track. You're obvious really reallly good with the visual aspect, and I know you care about sound design, you just haven't gone to the next step of audio just yet. It's not a criticism per say, as you're already doing ten times better than most people by even being considerate enoug to think of soud design and to use at least a yeti. That being said, I would reccomend two things, first, when you're recording your voiceover remember you have two parts, actualities and vox. The human ear can tell that you're not actually speaking in the clips where you mouth along in time and fill it in with the same vox track you use during shots where it's obvious you're not supposed to be speaking in the shot. The parts where you speak and mouth along are your actualities, the parts where you're not speaking and the voiceover is just that are your Vox portions. Seperate these two, and when you record your actualities do so with a slightly different recording set up. Literally move to a diffrent part of the room, move the mic position, use a diffeent mic, or all of it. That way, the parts where you mouth along will sound different from your Vox and it will really sell that you're not just mouthing it in the video, or at least that the audio track might be real. When it's all the same, there's nothing to sell and the effect doesn't work. Second, upgrade your mic. Blue yeti... I mean, I get it, but a real mic will make a huge difference, as big a jump as the yeti is from the internal mic on most cameras. Anyway, genuienly, not meant to be hating or negatively critiquing, just trying to encourage you to improve your already stellar work.
Really enjoyed this deep dive into the creative process! It's always inspiring to see how much effort and thought goes into making something that resonates. The tips and BTS insights were super helpful. Definitely worth watching till the end.
Odlični savjeti! Naučiti kako snimiti filmske kadrove kao profesionalac stvarno podiže razinu svakog projekta. Inspirativno i korisno za sve ljubitelje videografije! 🎥✨
hi andrew, this is the first comment i've ever left on youtube. You inspire me. when I started coming up with an idea for my film, I found you and it was confusion in my career and ideas weren't coming, you were and still are the place I go to when I feel bad, uninspired and anxious about the future. You have an authentic shooting and editing style, I love it. Please release videos more often, even short ones, 2,3,4 minutes, it doesn't matter, the world needs to see it!!!!
20% here. You just added some more motivation for me starting to create cinematic videos and in general creating more videos, for me and for others. Loved everything about the film, especially the colors! Thanks.
Hi Andrew! I am so glad I found this video and I will subscribe to your channel for sure! this video has inspired me a lot, I am 46 years old now and recently I started to study filmmaking. Dont know where to begin or how to do it so this content is like a gold mine for me. Thank you so much for letting us know your thoughts and your process for creating real, personal, and emotive content. Keep going! I will follow you!
I just started shooting videos, just for myself for now but it is thanks to you. I watched one of your videos and I am obsessed with them because I like colors so much. I am painting my own portraids because I can create new colors by blending some of them. Like I said your videos feels like I saw a beautiful dream and wake up with it's taste. Please keep making new videos, they are so cinematic and satisfying and sincere
Thanks for putting this together man, it's magical stuff. I strayed away from creative projects completely for years after going corporate career-wise and feel like it's time to come back to it (even if that means starting from scratch). Big ups for sharing your process in so much depth.
Hi Andrew! I wanna take some time and just say thank you for inspiring me and helping me through this cinematography journey. I am a 17 year old high school student who is currently brainstorming their first film in hopes of getting accepted to film school! Your work is amazing and your visual storytelling is out of this world. I’m currently struggling in a lot of areas right now, from the way things look to how they feel. I know I’ll get over it, because every time I watch you I feel empowered. Like you said, that small 20% who stays for the end of the video definitely feels like you’re gonna go great places. I find it helps to watch to the end, especially if the person’s work helps me (i mean the fact that I can get his level of assistance for free is inane). Just so you know, your work is simply amazing and inspires me to do better. I hope one day, after I make my film of course, we can get in touch. Thank you again, and I’ll be looking forward to your next video.
milanote is the new discovery also I LOVED THE VIDEO will obviously use all the tricks you gave, you"re making things easier and cheaper for us to try thank you ❤❤❤
great mini masterclass.... very helpful... i'm just finishing up pre-production for my first comedy short - film..... story, story, story.... all the best
Hey, I’m an airline pilot who tries to be an inspiration for people especially girls. So I’ve been waiting for so long to start to shot videos again. Now luckily I’ve found you and you inspired me:) Just wanted you to know that and thank you China
The perfect remedy for a bad day and the cure for a corporate illness. I've been trying to figure out how to put on paper or digital the things going around in my imagination, I've been really needing this and it just comes in the perfect moment. Thank you, you have this amazing gift to transmit your feelings through every frame and that's rare nowadays ❤
One of the best visual details you have! with a reminder, to be aware of the part of the video that gives time for the viewer to think something else. like the part were you explained about Milanote...
Hola, soy de Panamá y no hablo ingles, que bueno que compartas este tipo de videos, había usado la aplicación anteriormente y no me había gustado. pero de la manera que la explicaste me ayudo a ver la joya que es y estoy seguro que me cambiara la vida, Gracias!
Hi Andrew, really want to thank you for posting these pieces of valuable education about filming. Recently, my interest for film making began to grow and I've been watching these scenes breakdown got to know a lot about color management, editing, importance of sound design and cinematography. Your video kinda gave me a roadmap of how can I start with my film making journey. Right now I'm a graphic designer and I've done some video editing and shot short insta reels and I think with the knowledge I've got from these videos I would be able to add more depth, character and relatability to our content. And thanks for reminding me that it's okay to fail and how important it is to fail to learn. ❣ Love from India
I'm part of your 20% it seems. :P I'm a 38 year old artist with 15 years of 'industry experience' in crafting packaging, graphics, marketing materials, etc. for a variety of companies. I quit nearly 2 years ago because I honestly couldn't take it anymore. I felt like a tool for implementation - not an artist. I barely got to be creative, and that just wasn't what I wanted to put into the world. So I've been re-finding my creativity, unlearning things, learning new things, and figuring out where to go and what to do - this video, and especially your 'start before you know how' have been wonderfully helpful at letting me feel like I'm not alone, that I CAN do this even if I don't know all the steps, and even if I suck at it at first. It's a very solid and helpful reminder that 'failure' is not a noun - as an individual you aren't and can't be a 'failure'. Failure is a transient state towards something better, it can be messy, not great, and that's ok. It's that fear of failure/perfectionism that holds one back from actually getting into the nitty gritty of creating, growing, and learning. So thank you for posting such wonderful and beautiful content. For reminding others that failure is to be expected and absolutely ok, and please do keep creating!
I'm in the 20 percent! Love what you do. Discovered you this evening after a long day and I've related heavily with each video. Your unique style, frank openness, gifts and talents have translated clearly to me and I've been inspired to continue engaging in my creative outlets again. Perhaps even reigniting passion. One Love from Jamaica.
You know a lot of things about cinematic look and video production in general, but what's even better you are free to share your knowledge with other creators, it's dope man! Thank you for your content and approach to that
Just found your dream chase video, which led me here, while working on a project I'm not passionate about for work. You have given me inspiration where no one else could. Instead of focusing on my work, I have starting thinking I can too do what my dreams tell me to do. Maybe along the way I'll get happier. Either way, watched the video all the way to the end. Thank you for existing.
Dude!! My mind is blown that the TH-cam algorithm happened to put your video on my recommended feed… Feels like another lifetime being at The Ranch but definitely good memories. Well I’m a part of the 20% for sure and subscribed to your channel too. Keep up the good work! 💪🏽
Here, part of that 20% who watched the whole video. I love your style. Thank you, Andrew.
I'm with you, EyeofEddie. I learned a lot from this video and will try using these tips for upcoming projects. Thanks, Andrew! Great work 🙌🏾 Keep it up!

I assume you filmed most of this by yourself, how do you manage to change the focus the way you did in 1:10 without interacting with the camera?
Not sure how he did it, but he can be remote controlling the camera through his laptop. Clicks the zone he wants to focus on, it takes time for the computer to transfer the signal to the camera, and for the camera to react and finish the re-focus. So when he takes his hands off the keyboard that’s when he clicked, and just had 2 seconds to grab his head and settle into frustration
Not sure how crisp his setup is, but that’s how it would work for my a6500 with a WiFi connection to an external controller like an iPad, iPhone or computer.
Hands down the best video I've seen on this subject.

As an audio guy, I work for a radio station, and I'm an audio reporter, one thing you need to do is work on your vox, you voice track. You're obvious really reallly good with the visual aspect, and I know you care about sound design, you just haven't gone to the next step of audio just yet. It's not a criticism per say, as you're already doing ten times better than most people by even being considerate enoug to think of soud design and to use at least a yeti. That being said, I would reccomend two things, first, when you're recording your voiceover remember you have two parts, actualities and vox. The human ear can tell that you're not actually speaking in the clips where you mouth along in time and fill it in with the same vox track you use during shots where it's obvious you're not supposed to be speaking in the shot. The parts where you speak and mouth along are your actualities, the parts where you're not speaking and the voiceover is just that are your Vox portions. Seperate these two, and when you record your actualities do so with a slightly different recording set up. Literally move to a diffrent part of the room, move the mic position, use a diffeent mic, or all of it. That way, the parts where you mouth along will sound different from your Vox and it will really sell that you're not just mouthing it in the video, or at least that the audio track might be real. When it's all the same, there's nothing to sell and the effect doesn't work. Second, upgrade your mic. Blue yeti... I mean, I get it, but a real mic will make a huge difference, as big a jump as the yeti is from the internal mic on most cameras. Anyway, genuienly, not meant to be hating or negatively critiquing, just trying to encourage you to improve your already stellar work.
Great work
ur videos feel like gawx
Really enjoyed this deep dive into the creative process! It's always inspiring to see how much effort and thought goes into making something that resonates. The tips and BTS insights were super helpful. Definitely worth watching till the end.
oh. I thought it was Gawx for a sec! 😅 Great Video !
I wish!
Odlični savjeti! Naučiti kako snimiti filmske kadrove kao profesionalac stvarno podiže razinu svakog projekta. Inspirativno i korisno za sve ljubitelje videografije! 🎥✨
im at 4:34 and already learnt so much.🤯
wtf im out at exactly 4:34 and i see this lmao
hi andrew, this is the first comment i've ever left on youtube. You inspire me. when I started coming up with an idea for my film, I found you and it was confusion in my career and ideas weren't coming, you were and still are the place I go to when I feel bad, uninspired and anxious about the future. You have an authentic shooting and editing style, I love it. Please release videos more often, even short ones, 2,3,4 minutes, it doesn't matter, the world needs to see it!!!!
20% here. You just added some more motivation for me starting to create cinematic videos and in general creating more videos, for me and for others. Loved everything about the film, especially the colors! Thanks.
solid video, I watched till the end and valued the insights given. Great job dawg
Part of the 20% - I just found your page and you inspired me. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Hi Andrew! I am so glad I found this video and I will subscribe to your channel for sure! this video has inspired me a lot, I am 46 years old now and recently I started to study filmmaking. Dont know where to begin or how to do it so this content is like a gold mine for me. Thank you so much for letting us know your thoughts and your process for creating real, personal, and emotive content. Keep going! I will follow you!
I just started shooting videos, just for myself for now but it is thanks to you. I watched one of your videos and I am obsessed with them because I like colors so much. I am painting my own portraids because I can create new colors by blending some of them. Like I said your videos feels like I saw a beautiful dream and wake up with it's taste. Please keep making new videos, they are so cinematic and satisfying and sincere
Thanks for putting this together man, it's magical stuff. I strayed away from creative projects completely for years after going corporate career-wise and feel like it's time to come back to it (even if that means starting from scratch). Big ups for sharing your process in so much depth.
Made it to the end! You're Awesome!
Beautifully made! Wonderful color correction.
Hi Andrew! I wanna take some time and just say thank you for inspiring me and helping me through this cinematography journey. I am a 17 year old high school student who is currently brainstorming their first film in hopes of getting accepted to film school! Your work is amazing and your visual storytelling is out of this world. I’m currently struggling in a lot of areas right now, from the way things look to how they feel. I know I’ll get over it, because every time I watch you I feel empowered. Like you said, that small 20% who stays for the end of the video definitely feels like you’re gonna go great places. I find it helps to watch to the end, especially if the person’s work helps me (i mean the fact that I can get his level of assistance for free is inane). Just so you know, your work is simply amazing and inspires me to do better. I hope one day, after I make my film of course, we can get in touch. Thank you again, and I’ll be looking forward to your next video.
milanote is the new discovery also I LOVED THE VIDEO will obviously use all the tricks you gave, you"re making things easier and cheaper for us to try thank you ❤❤❤

Hey, I’m an airline pilot who tries to be an inspiration for people especially girls. So I’ve been waiting for so long to start to shot videos again. Now luckily I’ve found you and you inspired me:) Just wanted you to know that and thank you China
Andrew!!! This is amazing. Another beautiful video congrats on 100k! 20% gang foreverrrr
The perfect remedy for a bad day and the cure for a corporate illness. I've been trying to figure out how to put on paper or digital the things going around in my imagination, I've been really needing this and it just comes in the perfect moment. Thank you, you have this amazing gift to transmit your feelings through every frame and that's rare nowadays ❤
One of the best visual details you have! with a reminder, to be aware of the part of the video that gives time for the viewer to think something else. like the part were you explained about Milanote...
Hola, soy de Panamá y no hablo ingles, que bueno que compartas este tipo de videos, había usado la aplicación anteriormente y no me había gustado. pero de la manera que la explicaste me ayudo a ver la joya que es y estoy seguro que me cambiara la vida, Gracias!
part of the 20%. great video and thank you for introducing milanote for me!
Hi Andrew, really want to thank you for posting these pieces of valuable education about filming. Recently, my interest for film making began to grow and I've been watching these scenes breakdown got to know a lot about color management, editing, importance of sound design and cinematography. Your video kinda gave me a roadmap of how can I start with my film making journey. Right now I'm a graphic designer and I've done some video editing and shot short insta reels and I think with the knowledge I've got from these videos I would be able to add more depth, character and relatability to our content.
And thanks for reminding me that it's okay to fail and how important it is to fail to learn.
❣ Love from India
I'm part of your 20% it seems. :P
I'm a 38 year old artist with 15 years of 'industry experience' in crafting packaging, graphics, marketing materials, etc. for a variety of companies. I quit nearly 2 years ago because I honestly couldn't take it anymore. I felt like a tool for implementation - not an artist. I barely got to be creative, and that just wasn't what I wanted to put into the world. So I've been re-finding my creativity, unlearning things, learning new things, and figuring out where to go and what to do - this video, and especially your 'start before you know how' have been wonderfully helpful at letting me feel like I'm not alone, that I CAN do this even if I don't know all the steps, and even if I suck at it at first. It's a very solid and helpful reminder that 'failure' is not a noun - as an individual you aren't and can't be a 'failure'. Failure is a transient state towards something better, it can be messy, not great, and that's ok. It's that fear of failure/perfectionism that holds one back from actually getting into the nitty gritty of creating, growing, and learning. So thank you for posting such wonderful and beautiful content. For reminding others that failure is to be expected and absolutely ok, and please do keep creating!
I'm part of the 20 percent who watched your video throughout. I'm a writer but I wanna learn how to create my own videos. Thank you for this video. ❤
In a barrel filled with videos about photography and videography, this was really really great. Thank you
I’m a part of the 20% and I really enjoyed what you’ve done and subscribed
this is the best break down of videography iv seen
Great content, Andrew. Thanks for all.
I'm in the 20 percent! Love what you do. Discovered you this evening after a long day and I've related heavily with each video. Your unique style, frank openness, gifts and talents have translated clearly to me and I've been inspired to continue engaging in my creative outlets again. Perhaps even reigniting passion. One Love from Jamaica.
Woah! This is exactly what I needed! Thank you for taking the time to not only explain but show us!!
You know a lot of things about cinematic look and video production in general, but what's even better you are free to share your knowledge with other creators, it's dope man! Thank you for your content and approach to that
Man, you are a hero. Your color grading just makes me so happy and warm inside. I true feast for the eyes!
Wow, thanks!
I cam across your page a few months ago, but I’ve still learned a lot from each of your videos. also top %20!
Just found your dream chase video, which led me here, while working on a project I'm not passionate about for work. You have given me inspiration where no one else could. Instead of focusing on my work, I have starting thinking I can too do what my dreams tell me to do. Maybe along the way I'll get happier. Either way, watched the video all the way to the end. Thank you for existing.
I'm in the 20%
Shoutout to you for maintaining the engagement throughout the entire thing!
20% let’s go. I like the way you continuously think about improving and different ways to do or implement creativity treasure your videos. Keep it up.
Dude!! My mind is blown that the TH-cam algorithm happened to put your video on my recommended feed… Feels like another lifetime being at The Ranch but definitely good memories.
Well I’m a part of the 20% for sure and subscribed to your channel too. Keep up the good work! 💪🏽
