😊 ABOUT
Howdy! My name is Scott. In 2017, I was unhappy with a traditional house (aka, storage unit) and a long Chicago commute. In 2018, I reinvented my life which included buying a Winnebago Travato GL Camper Van. In February 2019, I chose full-time travel in my Class B RV for five years. Now, I take trips of days, weeks, or months and share those experiences to help others achieve their travel dreams more quickly and more fully. Thanks for watching and being part of our Go Small. Live Large! Community.

Scott, I’ve been watching you since 2019. Don’t change a thing. You have one of the best channels on UA-cam.
Everyone I talk to that has a B Van watches you. Everyone loves your content. You present it excellently.
All the content creators are stuck with slow growth. The boom of RVing is over. But the fun is not.
I have been watching you for years and am looking forward to your future videos. You’re always fun to watch!
Scott it was great to meet you in person at the Roadtrek 50th Anniversary Rally. I found your channel last Spring after buying my “new to me” Roadtrek. My 🚐 has allowed me to explore and hike extensively, all over Canada (planning US trips in the future), which in turn has done wonders in helping me control my (sometimes severe) depression. I know you rely on this channel as part of your “job”, but I think putting too much emphasis on the number of followers just adds stress to life.
Keep great content coming and we’ll keep watching.
Linda! So great to meet you at the Rally Home. Thx for your thoughts
Exciting chapter ahead for GSLL! I’m in…🎉
Hi Scott. This is Bob from Pennsylvania. Been with you since the very beginning. Think I will like the new format you are going. Best of luck! 😘
Don’t be sorry. Thoughts and ideas evolve - that’s life! We are with you. We like your tips and suggestions and the videos adventures you take us on. Glad you are going to keep going on!
My planned RV purchase failed my cost/benefit analysis so I'm going to be looping through Arizona and New Mexico next month in my little pickup truck stuffed full of camera gear, a computer, a two-suiter, my National Parks Lifetime Pass, and a cooler full of vegetable juice, sodas, and sandwiches. I'll be staying at four funky little 3-star hotels (two of them within a block of local rail transit stations) for less than $120/night over the course of 10 days. I think this fits within your conception of Compact Travel? I hope so, because that's a groovy name for it!
I was with you since the beginning when you first got your van! I feel like we’re friends even though we’ve never met. I just know I could sit down and have a great conversation with you about travel and I too have quite a passion for it in all forms. I just spent a month hitting some national parks in Wyoming and the main thing I feel is I can’t wait to come back out here and explore more. Two of the best learning experiences I had was visiting Heart Mountain and Wind River Horse Sanctuary. Since both places amazed me, I follow up with audible books about what I have seen while I drive. Anyway, I love your style on the channel and I’ve learned and applied info from it. It encouraged me to get to get my Winnebago Solis in 21 and so glad I did. I love visiting the national parks in a small van that I can maneuver like a car I wish you spent more time on the West Coast! I think opening up your channel to all forms of travel is a great idea!
Scott I found you because of your reviews of the Travato & your B-van specific travels.....I'm a fan for life
Happy to try to help you grow your channel, please know the content you create is High Quality & your presentation skills Top Notch
Love the live WUW (when it's a good connection) just need to set a reminder!
Honestly, I find it amazing that the UA-camrs I watch - including you - have been able to sustain their channels. It must be exhausting.
No apology necessary, providing info on this channel is a job for you, and some people work for the same company their entire career, but many more change jobs and some change more than once. People need change sometime and there is nothing wrong with that. What ever info you present I am sure it will be good. I think you helped alot of people looking to buy a camper van by pointing and comparing different features on the vans. I looked at two vans based on your videos. Winneabago Travato and the Coachman Nova. Stay true to yourself.
Scott, wish I could help you out by subscribing but I’ve been with you all along! Looking forward to ALL the new content! Keep it coming… thanks. Dan😊
Your van tours are helping me define what I am looking for in a van!
I'm glad you have come through the issues you've had. I enjoy watching you! Keep it going. Thanks Scott 😊
Thank you! Will do!
We, too, are van travelers but so often we "travel" via other methods and we're curious about other means of travel. So definitely looking forward to your new direction and upcoming videos.
Scott, thank you for help in helping me to learn to dream and travel through your channel at a time I have lost both of my parents. God bless you!
Watching from upstate New York. You are the reason I chose a Travato 59g NPE, thank you. Been full time since February. It’s all about growth, expanding ideas and enjoying the experience. Currently parked by a river enjoying a quiet breeze 😊and a bourbon
No apology necessary…I travel ina Class C. Love your new approach. You have always come across a a truly sincere guy, so appreciate YOU!!!!
Scott you are a very cool guy. Great communicator, your personality is what people are here for. It has always been unfathomable to me how you don't have like 10x the views. When you went on sabbatical in March I was stunned to hear how tough UA-cam has been for you with all this great content and all your talents!! I'll listen to the podcast. Thanks Man!
I was broken hearted when I wasn’t able to carry through with my dream of getting and traveling in a camper van. You have been my inspiration and I have continued to follow along but haven’t commented recently because I’m left with this feeling of just being a “cling-on”. I was sad when you stepped back from van life but I have continued to be around and have been a subscriber from the day I first visited your channel. Tonight you helped me to realize that I can still enjoy travel with you! Thank you so very much for letting me tag along❤
I have this exact experience with you KK! I’m getting things ready to start exploring next year Fall car camping! I’m open to others who want to travel in caravan in their vehicle! I’m not letting the disappointment of no Van or rv stop me and I’m old! Maybe Scott will let us camp in our cars with his group!
Very nice. I`m looking to get into the Teardrop Travel Trailers, for future travel
Hey Scott! have been following you for a year and you are simply pleasant to listen to. Discovered you because of my interest in Wingamm mobile homes! Still not sure what to go for, because I have to trade in my second car for commuting and want to combine this with weekend holidays and long vacations here in Belgium, Europe. Your advice and well-being about campervans has been an inspiration! Please continue Scott and thank you for the many anecdotes. Frankiboy
I have loved enjoying your podcasts and hope to join the lifestyle soon. Don’t stop being you!
Hi Scott, I’ve been a subscriber for a few months now, watching your van reviews and such. They have been very helpful. My husband and I will be buying next spring either a Winnebago Solis 59PX or an Ekko 22a. We’ve still got 8 months to figure it out. Within the next few years, once I retire at 65, we will be full time vanlifers, so it’s really important to get the right one for us. I look forward to following you on UA-cam and however you take the channel is a-okay with me. You seem like a great guy, look alot like my dad who passed away when he was 47, and seem very honest and caring. Peace out to you as well. ✌️♥️
I think the emphasis on the “business” of UA-cam and referring to us as customers is off-putting. We are watching you live your best life, and we are your friends. If you stop worrying about views and just enjoy the journey, you’ll be happier.
I'm not a customer. UA-cam creator's have made a business of UA-cam videos. Some do much better naturally than others.
thanks for that
I somewhat agree. I apologize for playing internet shrink, but…
You seem to have an inner struggle between the business of UA-cam (eg views, subscriptions and content) vs. your mental health.
I’ve never met you (hope to someday), but I think you need to focus on your mental health. Don’t know you well enough, but what I figured out recently is that van life is very “bimodal”, there are times together in a group where we’re sharing with our “people” and then there are lonely times. Times where we’re alone in our vans and it feels very isolating.
I think recent life events may have highlighted the importance of relationships. So maybe figure out how to build stronger relationships with your SO and other #vanlifers in the real world.
And then let the views and the likes and the content take care of itself.
I’d also recommend reaching out to folks you’d like to emulate. Hear their struggles and journeys.
I know you talk about expanding content. But even Kevin (30 and a Wake-up) just seems to focus on one thing at a time. My concern is that without organization and expectations, it’ll be hard to create content for your broader audience.
In the end, I think the issue is you have to figure out what you want and then worry about what the viewers/algorithm wants.
One other thought is to “guest host” on other channels to get access to different audiences/content creator styles. Maybe you’ll learn something that sparks new energy for your channel?
Totally agree with this!
Been a subscriber for the past few years. I'm hoping to make some changes and really appreciate your posts. Best wishes to you as I'll keep watching and glad you're back.
got to say that I have always loved the way you have been travelling and exploring the United States. You definitely have something here that I can’t pinpoint it you my friend have something very special in you, in the way you tell a story that keeps me engaged. I love you man and I’d follow you across Ireland if that was an option and I would love to watch your journey. It would be totally amazing for us but I believe it would have profound impact on your life. Sláinte. Cheers brother
Hi Scott... I'm a subscriber and avid viewer. Happy to follow in any direction you'd like to take us! The most important thing is that YOU'RE happy with the direction. Settle in and enjoy!
Your van tour floorpan tour meh became boring and tired. You need a major shake up.
We have enjoyed your videos. You are the reason we chose Embassy to build our van, best decision we made in Van life so far. As far as UA-cam goes, once we moved past being new the content became less relevant but we still watch each video, and enjoy the WuW the most and the community you have built is your biggest achievement so far. And you’re fun to hang with, Bisbee was great. In my short time doing UA-cam videos and getting a look behind the curtain, it’s easy to become a slave to it and I’m decided I don’t like what it elevates negative fear based videos the most. I won’t continue to make videos and use it as a platform for long form videos. Keep it up beat and optimistic, you will get less views but a larger quality community. Just my opinion 🤷♂️.
I’ve been following you since early on. Your content has been fun and informative and helpful as my husband and I took up van travel-occasional trip style. Your new direction sounds great! We all change-no apologies necessary. Will follow your new adventures!
I like the new direction you are going. My husband and I now travel in our SUV with our dogs and stay in vrbos. I now feel more a part of your channel. Thanks!
Scott! I'm excited for the adventures to come! You're living, learning and expanding, I love it!
Loved the channel from the start...you are the reason I got interested in this way of life. Hearing your video into music (back in the day), always made me smile...and my day. Thanks, mate.
Scott… I’ve followed you since August of 2019… that’s FIVE YEARS for anyone counting!
You introduced me to the Embassy and Terry Minix, you encouraged me to make my channel more than just a personal one “for family only”, and in all that time, I’ve seen you grow your own channel to over 40 thousand members. That is an amazing accomplishment.
If I am any indication, you have transformed lives, giving people hope and positivity, and a path to follow towards their own happiness.
Your videos are thoughtful, insightful, and just plain entertaining, and you have been open with your struggles, having gained a loyal following.
You are not an influencer, at least not the marketing kind that tries to sell unnecessary products and services. Instead, you are a trustworthy “inspirer”, one that provides the information for others to make their own informed decisions and the motivation to explore and discover their own path.
Keep up the good work and know you are on your own path of discovery.
Be seeing you!
Scott, you are well loved and we want you to be excited about what you do on UA-cam because I’m sure we’ll be excited too! I’m not so excited about the booze stuff, but I can see it’s a passion of yours. Enjoy your reviews on new products/vans. Keep on keeping on - we’ll be here for you! 😊
I’ve been watching you since I started looking into Class B vans and RV travel. Love your travel videos and Embassy interviews and reviews. I came so close to ordering one, but was looking for a bit more space and the wait time was too long for me. I was also looking at the Travato, but with my wife and I, I again was looking for something a bit larger.
Now all that said, I have. Even watching for years enjoying the places you travel and the people you meet and the tips and tricks etc etc. I have learned much.
I really enjoy watching because you’re a great person, traveling to great places, meeting great people. Great content as well.
Love you, Scott!!! You changed my life by inspiring me to do the van life experience. Wishing you well!!
Scott, the channel kind of lost me when the emphasis on van floorplan tours took an increase. These videos are incredibly important to someone purchasing a new van every year, but that’s not us. I love the videos involving travel on small, quiet, “non interstate” highways and roads, and the towns and people that enrich our travels. Moving away from van and/or RV travel may or may not be an answer to increasing channel engagement.
No apologies needed Scott! You have always been totally yourself and have been authentic and honest with us. I appreciate your vulnerability and you allowing us to watch how your travel and priorities change. Change is part of life and thank you for letting us come along with you. ❤
Scott change is part of life. Looking forward to your new content.
BTW we’re Embassy owners, so thanks for the informative videos.
I’m a wanna be because of Scott and the others who talk with Terry and learn more than on most other sites
I agree with you and will continue to learn/travel with Scott and others🌺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bummer.....van channels have all but disappeared and one of the reasons the van channels don't prosper is that they stop focusing on living in the van and start focusing on the travel, . Glad you are finding a new energy and that you prosper in your new direction.
Glad to see you back. I'm happy to see you are including travel aside from campers, vans etc. I'm a world traveler, and as much as I would love to have a van or trailer, it would financially have to be one or the other. I choose to watch you, and I look forward to your new diversified content.
Hi Scott, Margaret from Sarasota here. You helped me confirm my choice of an Embassy van, and my dog Bailey and I have been on the road now since May. We are traveling the northeast, visiting National Parks, Sites and monuments. Just stopped by to say thanks, and that I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a couple of years. I applaud you for trying different approaches with your channel, and wish you success and happiness.
Scott, do what you do best in your van. Just explore more places in different states.
Hi Scott! Under my circumstances there will be no van or rv so I hope I’ll be able to join you in my car camping! Hope to be ready next year! In the meantime you know I’ll be hanging out and enjoying your channel! 👍🏻
I have found so many comments auto deleted by UA-cam, so many of my favorite subscriptions that I realized I hadn’t seen recently, only to find it said “SUBSCRIBE” that my mind is blown. 🤯
i think what every youtuber in this space eventually finds out is that doing free PR commercials for these companies is awesome for the companies but terrible for creators. you are flat out being taken advantage of.
You have a point. That is why I am changing things up a bit !
I just got interested in a van last fall when my son said "you're getting too old to be backing up your small camper. Look at vans." In my looking, I found your channel. I especially needed your Tampa RV show videos. I felt I was at the show and it really helped me narrow down my search. After I bought my Travato 59G, I saw that you had a boat load of how to videos and I really have found them useful. You have the makings of a video book for wannabes and new owners. I think there is real value in your 700 video library. Every time I look I find something useful. The trick is getting me and others to look. I don't mind your enthusiasm for van life (or really, small RVs) in your videos. You show that it's possible for 2 to 4 people to get along nicely in something smaller than a 5th wheel. I know from trying to make my own videos that shooting material is only a small part and editing is most of the job.
Great supportive comments here.
I found you recently floating around RV UA-cam; immediately liked your vibe/style.
Had no idea you were back on from a pause only a few vids in and already inspired!
Your new Travel_Vision alngs with me + I dig your humbly excited demaonour.
Those who appreciate and harmonize will always suround thee when the frequencies align.
You do you; share+inspire.
》See you down the road!! ✌️😎🤙
Hi Scott: Good to know it's all about me...I mean us! Lol😅
Sorry, I have to disagree with you. I have been a fan since day one….you were one of the only few, WHO gave us the straight truth about floor plans and rigs to look at. I hope you continue with some of that format. Using your rig as a base template gave us the base for other vans to look at. Stay strong and keep going with your plans….we enjoy your comments and travel. A fan for life.
Hang in there! We will keep on looking out for your content. Thank you!
You missed me didn’t you Scott 🙂 I enjoy your travels, 2 more years and we’re going all in ✌🏼
have enjoyed your channel for years. Always wishing you well.
I appreciate that!
Just listened to the Podcast with the Russo’s. Great talk. Thanks for sharing.
Thank YOU Scott. I have been following you for so very long and love your videos. I caught the van bug, but health issues have nixed that life experience. Whatever you do, I am going along with you. Hugs.
Hey Scott, Good video I enjoyed meeting & camping with 19 other great vans at Oshkosh WI in my class P-RV (Prius) is very compact ;-)! Subscribed & been watching your vids, Happy Trails~~~
Already subscribed. Love Joe & Kait. They are really good folks.
Enjoy you (met at GNR, pre-covid) and your journeys, just as we have enjoyed our many full-time years in our ‘19GL (46 states, well into six-figure mileage). It is hard to maintain a fresh energy for full-time vanlife as it demands a very intentional way of being and navigating each day. Adding the workload of vanlife creator to that in a solo travel mode - it’s impressive you haven’t taken a break sooner!!
This past year, I pushed for us to have our own home base again. And now we do.
I simply wanted to be able to go home, be near our family, develop daily community, have healthy workout routines rain or shine, have a garden, play piano, etc. We will still meander. We love the Travato Nation. But I know I had to re-balance. I think that’s healthy to take stock of how things are going or not going and act on that to find peace of mind.
Safe travels through life no matter the vehicle or the miles.
Wow, an inspiring video. Its interesting - to think. UA-cam is giving way to other mediums (insta, etc.) but I love long form videos (being over 40). I loath 30 second video reels and I prefer to listen to thoughtful, in depth reviews. I sub'd today (9/28) and Im planning to join your wed live stream. Thank you for your honesty
Hey, we've all been in that place! Here's to discovering and happiness! I do want to say, that I appreciated your trips and your van life mods. Going to get my lift for my travato at OHV/Darkstar in SLC; and get a back razor rack and tire carrier from Vanup in Davis CA. Thanks!!!!!
Sounds like you’ve experienced an eventful year. Self reflection is always a good thing. I’ve enjoyed watching you over the past few years. I’m sorry you felt sad and somewhat disjointed. Seems you’ve found your way back and that makes it all worth the journey. Peace. ☮️
Hey Scott. Glad to hear you're in a better state of mind after your break. I've been following since the beginning. Our means of travel is with a travel trailer but I still enjoy your content and never felt you were an asshole about the van being the only way to go. Look forward to more content. Thanks.
We have enjoyed your videos. You are the reason we chose Embassy to build our van, best decision we made in Van life so far. As far as UA-cam goes, once we moved past being new the content became less relevant but we still watch each video, and enjoy the WuW the most and the community you have built is your biggest achievement so far. And you’re fun to hang with, Bisbee was great. In my short time doing UA-cam videos and getting a look behind the curtain, it’s easy to become a slave to it and I’m decided I don’t like what it elevates negative fear based videos the most. I won’t continue to make videos and use it as a platform for long form videos. Keep it up beat and optimistic, you will get less views but a larger quality community. Just my opinion 🤷♂️.
Good to see you Scott. As you know, I'm an OG follower. I stopped watching mostly because the "Van Life" is very expensive and we just could not get there. Loved your adventures but just lost interest. I've been on the road now for 2 years myself and pulling a travel trailer. Happy with the program so far. Lots of "room". Wish I could help you with some ideas but honestly I've got nothing. I think its a "van thing" lol Good luck Scott and I'll be here watching.
Sept 20, 2024. New subscriber to your channel. I am planning on purchasing a Travato G very soon, came to UA-cam for some knowledge. Glad I found your channel as you have answered some of my questions and I enjoyed your humor. Plus a kitty in a video is always nice!
Man what’s so hard to say… You know what this isn’t working for me financially. I gotta do something else! Just get a remote job and stop apologizing and telling ppl to subscribe.
Thanks Scott. I enjoy your content and look forward to seeing more fun stuff in the future. Really appreciate what you do!
I have been a watcher since around 2020. But I have re watched many of the past videos several times. They have been informative.
There are different reasons why people get into watching the vast amount of UA-cam videos. I like automotive things and van builds. I'm not too interested in the travel part. And sometimes I get into the creator's. Could be a couple or a single person. Their personality is striking to me. George of Humble Road has good content as well as Patrick on New Jersey Outdoor Adventure.
I enjoy your videos but not a big fan of your "go live" videos. Sorry, but the quality makes it hard to watch and hear. Otherwise, I do like your work and am a subscriber.
Most, if not all UA-cam channels these days are failing. I mean no disrespect but how does one, and many have rely on this income. I read all the time about UA-cam burnout, understand that a 40hrs work week is the standard, and it burns many of us out. UA-cam is technology, here today and gone tomorrow. As a source of extra income it’s great. As your only source of income is IMO foolish.
The opinion of a full time van traveler is all I have to offer and I have no interest in travel by means other than a vehicle. Do what you have to do to feed the algorithm but back packing flying and hiking aren’t of any interest to me. I wish you well from my van traveling through South America ( PS: not exactly popular among my fellow Americans to see South America from a Promaster. Don’t you don’t do it to increase your audience!).
Ok I could go into detail about how I got to retire in 2014 as a business owner! But to get there I had a saying that I often pass on, (It is best to have “Tried and Failed then to have Failed to Try”) ! Have a Blessed Weekend! 🙏👊
I enjoy your videos. We have a 25 ft LTV because we thought a B was too small. We miss having a van small enough to easily explore some places we want to go to. Your van tours have been great as we consider downsizing.
Hey Scott! I've been with you for 2-3 yrs. I'm excited to take this new adventure with you. You should always do what makes you happy. That energy will show through your videos and inspire others. Blessings my friend 🦋✨
I always thought you were limiting your reach by focusing on travel in an expensive van, just my opinion.
I love the idea of you covering all types of travel it’s nice having a home base. That what I do.
You are just so slow to get to your point. It is extremely hard to watch you. I have been full-time in my van longer than you have been full-time nomad.
Always love following your content and adventures. I love the down to earth approach…will follow on!
Also, we put our deposit on the non Sob no wood van back in July, put you down as "how we heard" about them. We should take delivery in 2025.
Hi Scott I was wondering are you going to Overland Expo East Oct 4-6 in VA ?
Welcome back Scott. I love van life & that form of travel. I have no interest ( at the moment ) of ever getting on a cruise ship, but interested to see it from someone else’s eyes & maybe change my mind 🤪 Bring on the new version of your channel. Cheers from 🇦🇺
I started watching you early and you are the reason i had the courage to buy a van (Roadtrek Zion) and travel aolo. I look forward to your future videos, including anything new!
I'm a fan no matter what you are covering as long as you keep doing it. 🙂
We have camped somewhat for our adult life, My wife and I are retired. We have had 12 RVs. We started in a l972 Ford Chateau Van. I dad put a bed in the back. After my Dad passed away, It was our first vehicle. We gone on to many Rvs but I have watched you and I have been wanting to get back to a Van. We pull a Rockwood 24 foot Trailer now with a Tundra. I wanted to come to see you in Dade City last year but as you know, it rained and rained. I like your style, you are very easy to listen to, you are nice and you dont bragg like some utubers. We will meet you one day. Appreciate your video today Thanks. God Bless. Charley and Laura, Ocala. fl.
There are so many channels on van life...seems the successful ones tens to focus on living in the van, fixing issues, how do they survive money wise, unique places of a wild hot spring, something weird and wonderful in their travels. I find the ones that are more travel focused reach a number and stay there...probably because there are so many of these channels, each with a certain taste of travel. People like to live through a channel that they can relate too, to entertain them, and maybe even to give them hope they can do the same.......
I am excited about the new format and content.
Looking forward to it!!
We have a van but love other types of travel as well, so I look forward to your new content!
👍
I love van floor plan videos, but until I can afford one, I like the idea of seeing what’s out there beyond vans. Let’s go!
We are loving our Embassy Class B van thanks to you! Would love to learn more about urban RVing. We plan on moving quickly from place to place. We just purchased a home so we will be part time travelers. One of our first big trips will be with RV FANTASY TOURS Lewis and Clark trail! We will watch no matter how you travel! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Wonderful!
Hello Scott!
I watched you for you and your van stories. Not really into the other things. But that is just me. There is nothing wrong that you are planning on branching out. You need to do what makes you happy. I will peak in here and there. Thanks Scott
thx Wing :)
I look forward to whatever direction you take your channel. I think there’s a focus on rig comparisons on UA-cam because it can take years of dreaming and saving to make that first step into RVing. So viewer count is probably highest on those. (It’s where I am now.) But eventually, we’ve seen all the comparisons we need from westfalia to storyteller, so it’s time for the next step.
I’d love to see videos about dealing with whatever limitations any rig has, customizations, destinations, inexpensive camping spots, calm retreats and meetups.
I can’t get my rig for another year and a half, but until then, I’ll be RVing vicariously through your channel. I hope to get to meet you one day, no matter what brand of rig I eventually settle on.
@gosmall.livelarge
My apologies. Feel free to delete my comment. Or I can delete it.
I’ve listened to the podcast. I had no idea how much time you had to spend creating content. It sounds exhausting.
As someone who has had significant burnout several times in my career (and is also currently in that state) I get it.
I can’t retire any time soon, so I’m doing everything I can to lower my stress and recover. I have to hang in there!
There’s so much beauty in this world that I don’t want to stay frazzled and unable to enjoy it. No one can live just to provide for and please others.
Good luck to you and may you rediscover joy in travel and adventure. If you post less content, that’s cool. It’s all good.
‘’CUSTOMERS’’!
Looking forward to the new ways and places to travel! I have enjoyed your content form the beginning, and will continue to do so. Hope to meet up again and share a beer!
Awesome! Thank you!
Growth is what it’s all about.
The van is just a tool, a metaphor, that enables us to literally, but more importantly, mindfully, pivot. Being flexible and open to change is the name of the game.
Thanks, Scott, for being vulnerable, for being you.
Well said
Been watching for awhile. Best wishes to you and your channel as you move forward.
Thx for watching and for continuing to watch!
