Everything's Changing - Life Update

Hey friends 😃 It's been a while - this is a somewhat rambley video where I update you about what's going on in my life, the business and this YouTube channel. I talk through a bunch of challenges that this new move and direction is bringing, and use the camera to think out loud about various issues. This video isn't a directly useful one, so if you've got something better to do with your time, please don't feel bad about doing just that.
