    John this video made me impulsed to comment. Your videos years ago in Cincinnati and beyond helped my recovery from full neuropathy. I learned how to walk again. I learned how to write again. I learned how to live again. I discovered andys channel, and myself being one of the few to ask him if he was okay in his falling skateboarder videos. I had the balls to hop on a skateboard for the first time in my mid 30's and immediately broke my wrist lol. And I'm happy. Your positivity was a driving force when I discovered you on UA-cam whilst laying in a hospital bed when I was repeatedly told I would never walk again. Now years later I am ever thankful for your vlogs. Just keep doing you man. Whatever you do, just know you're appreciated in ways you can't imagine. You deserve all the happiness that life can give you. I respect your grind and I can't thank you enough for the positivity you have spread to myself and thousands of others. Keep doing you man. :)

    Love John Hill and his content but I think he has bad ADHD plus he’s an over thinker. The last 5 videos after this all skateboarding😆. I’m not trying to criticize what he’s trying to say but I think at the end of the day, You should just ride the wave of success on UA-cam until it crashes. Then move on. Do whatever you want financially and professionally when it ends.

    So proud of you. I don't know you personally or anything but it's hard to make the call where you acknowledge that the thing your making isn't for the joy of it anymore. Only skate for the love of skating. It makes me happy to see you evolve and continue to find whatever makes you happy while earning your livelihood. Congrats on the new addition to the family! All the best!

    The thing here is John is you do have support from those that are skateboarders that do genuinely just like you as a content creator. You used Garrett as a reference in this video and hell, I think his house project is some of the best content that dude has made in years. Being a dad puts a lot in perspective and skateboarding will always be there. Just be you and the genuine you which is what you have always done and the success will follow. Im here for the new chapter and excited to see what you create!

    Congratulations for adding a new member to the family. You’re really feeling the pressure and we can all tell that you’ll do everything you can for your family. I honor and appreciate your dedication and insight into your life (even when you advise against sharing beliefs) so thank you for all the videos. But if it ever feels overwhelming and you can’t handle it remember God has our back, fights our battles and gives us peace so you can trust his word.

    John, you are going to be alright (I am only a few months ahead of you) my little one turns one next week. The first 6-ish months are ROUGH. It gets easier and you WILL get more sleep. You will find your passions again, you just need some time. If you do decide to completely stop skating content, I understand, but this may be temporary, be okay with that too.
