    You are amazing bro, your channel is one of the best definitely. I can say that being a UA-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman offers product/service that people need. And you are doing that. For some beginners it could be tough to start channel (Use a lot of Famester to help start your channel). I was like that, and if I didn't found out about it, I probably wouldn't be able to type this comment today.

Honestly, I feel so lucky because every time I’m struggling with something, I check your channel, and you’ve already uploaded a new video that addresses it. Also, huge congratulations to you and your wife on the pregnancy! Wishing you all the best as you get ready for fatherhood and this amazing new adventure in your life.

      the background needs to say something about his personality/ business he is not a realtor :) or some kind of stockbroker so he wants to show knowledge, creativity, productivity(guitar) art etc having skyscrapers doesnt fit his vibe and could actually put off or confuse new viewers arriving plus he may move countries so better have a background that could be anywhere also he mentions he need to film at night- would be very hard to light it (window glass reflecting his light is just one) and would need lots of changes between day and night filming so loses speed and efficiency
