    Hey man it was great to meet you and chat a bit coming out of SD. Content is great and has a nice personal human touch. Your editing chop is on point too. I'm gonna ask that you get a better mic setup to improve audio volume, clarity, and consistent level. DJI makes a great LAV wireless pair that includes 2 mics on 1 receiver. You could wear one which will improve the audio when you are not talking directly at your camera and the other one you could hand off or sit somewhere when you chat the nice folks you meet. Thanks for sharing and keep it up.
