    Thank you, Adam. All you videos means a looottt for me.. I’m still in the process of saving money to buy my first pizza oven while working as employee. The very first time I make pizza was in covid 2021, the feelings of making pizza that I never felt before is the only thing that keeps me going and I really cant wait to make it happen. But the same time I’m too scared to open my own small street food pizza that I dreamed of. Looking at you videos and live, brace me up a lil bit. Hope to hear more about your complete journey story, and keep making videos and live!! It gives me joyyy 🙌🙌

    Awesome!!! That's the dream!! Again I want to do burgers, just no idea where to start. My problem is, in 2016 I suffered a brain tumour and only just got back into work last year, I have three kids and have again no idea where to start, I worry and panic to much about things and again just wouldn't know where to begin. The end game for me is getting a burger van, doing great smash burgers, and everything that goes with it, so burger, fries, onion rings, as like meals and hopefully doing what you do, few days a week, some events maybe down the line. But my head is so all over the place it's unreal 😓. Great inspiring video, but I need like an action plan, and wouldn't know where to begin.
