As for the "You Can See My Light" tune, I think Team AG is uniquely talented and placed in a way that you all can collectively write this into a real song! With all of you contributing, maybe about the design process or your team members or what being on Team AG means to you, or *something* of the sort, you can come up with a Team AG theme song?!
I genuinely thought it was Taylor Swift or something and I just never bothered to Google it. I've woken up with it in my head many times lol. THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS.
I agree... you could come up with more lyrics and make it into a full song. Maybe one of your viewers is a songwriter and could help you if you wanted.
"It really is like a real makeover show." No, Alexandra, your show IS a real makeover show, and probably more real than some of the network shows. I've been following you since The Home Primp days and waiting for the day you announce you are bringing the team to Australia to do a Downunder series. Thanks for your honesty and transparency in this video, explaining how you generate income. Please, please stay as authentic as you are and never pick up the horrid false eyelashes that some other UA-camrs seem wedded to.
You inspire so many young people. Your a business woman, designer and artist. UA-cam is more popular than regular television to a certain age group. Congrats on your accomplishments. You are surrounded by exceptional people and I love to see your channel growing even more❤😊
Favorite line "I'm creative, she's reality". I hope young entrepreneurs see this video. Very informative. Inspiring. Revealing the initial slog of it all is important. Building a successful business from what you love takes patience, work, even more patience, flexibility, and a team.
This literally made me emotional - I have been a viewer since the beginning and have so much love for Team AG and all of your content! It’s absolutely incredible to hear the evolution and behind the scene of your business. You should be so proud of what you’ve built ❤
Not me coming to the comments to find the “see my light” petition! 😂😂 But seriously, I’ve been watching you for several years and have loved watching your growth and evolution!!! Love team AG
I want an episode where you interview your team and ask them detailed questions about working in the home decor/youtube field. Or a day in the life of team AG. Vlog a whole day!
I really appreciate that you feed your staff when working on projects. It’s important for employers to treat their employees well and I’m sure your staff are grateful.
What I loved the most about this is how very well aware you are of everyone's individual roles and who contributes what. I've never had a boss that seemed to have a firm grasp on what I even do. You really vaaaaaaalue everyone there and obviously work together so well. I too would like to hear more about how you built your business because it sounds so impossible to obtain. I love how down to earth you are about your success. And you're willing to share with others rather than brag, you know what I mean?
“You can see my light! See my light!” ✨ I always thought this was a proper song 😂 I wish you guys even more success, Alexandra! And thank you for giving us so much inspiration. Your work changes lives. It’s changed mine. Trust me… 💕
Ya!! Congrats to Graham :) young, young man, you are a dreamer/hard worker/talented?/handsome as hell!! (it's okay*I*am*old*enough*to*be*your*granny lol) and a great addition and you like to HELP PEOPLE !! I notice this in your humour and demeanor, at least on the film lol ...much success too you, and the rest of TEAM AG .. XICO🤗 (I hope the spelling is correct). We sure have missed you. And this is how I feel today ~ Good TALK Alexander~ no, no, no - it is a REAL REAL MAKEOVER SHOW!! if YOU could see YOUR light ~YOU SILLY GIRL !! PFFT!!
I honestly love the vulnerability you have with sharing this with us. Knowing your goals and just the work you've put into your business is more motivation for me to watch your videos every week. I learn so much from you and your team. You and your team rock and I hope your channel grows with you! :)
I've just watched this video Nov 2023. What an Awesome group. I have enjoyed you since I first found this vlog. Congratulations. Perhaps the best part is the laughter and friendship. Got today's download to watch right now. 🥳
Thank you for sharing this, Alexandra! I would love to hear more about how you built your business, so I hope we can look forward to an episode covering your journey in future. Appreciate you being so open!
The fact that you guys made up “you can see my light” is hilarious because I was helping my sister paint last weekend and out of nowhere I started singing it! She asked me what song it was and I’m like “I have no idea” 🤣
I really can see your light. By pursuing your joy, you’ve created so much light in the world. Love you, your team, and everything you do. Thanks for being you, Alexandra! Your light just keeps on spreading.
Thank you so much, Alexandra, for this comprehensive and extremely honest video. It was really interesting and so gratifying to get the answers to so many questions and in such detail. Often, when successful people are asked how they 'made it', their answers can be disingenuous and flippant, leaving you none the wiser and making you feel as if it all happened by magic and they're not really willing to let you in on their secrets, in case you 'steal' them. This was just so refreshing. Talking about money is very 'vulnerable' as you said, and I feel people shy away from it because they might feel it's too personal, and they don't want to admit how much or how little they make. Despite your discomfort, you addressed it, and again, I'm so grateful. I only recently discovered you, and I've been binge-watching your videos. I'm obsessed. 😍 BTW, I live in the UK, so if you're ever in these parts, do consider dragging your team and your goodies here and hooking me up; I'm pretty sure there are brands here who'd love to work with you too. (I get first dibs on a makeover, though.)
Alexandria, you are a BOSS! Thank you, for sharing your entire business model. I listen to this episode twice. It's a reality check for me and developing the kind of Podcast I want to produce. My topic is more about personal and spiritual development, however, I get why I need to give myself the time, effort and patience to build a solid business base.
I love your work and your channel. I am a 73 grandma and I am redecorating my condo with Boho Decor. I have gotten lot of ideas from your channel and I thank you for that.
I'm a 73 year old grandma too! I love sharing the videos with my daughter and 21 year old granddaughter! I have been searching for where You can see my light comes from because it's ALWAYS playing in my brain!! 😂
What a great video, answered so many questions I had in my mind that I never actually asked. Thank you for being transparent about your business, it's so interesting to your viewers who are invested in your show and your team. Just so happy to see a young woman grow her business from idea to what you have now, and I'm sure it will grow even further. So happy to hear Graham is on full-time, he is such a major asset to Team AG! Congratulations, and keep going and growing girl!
Hi Alexandra! As an avid / wannabe interior stylist, designer and aspiring UA-camr. I would LOVE to learn more about your process on how you built your business. Thank you for continuing to share your experience with us! It’s sooo inspiring and deeply appreciated
There are a lot of channels I watch regularly on UA-cam but I must say that this one is probably the only one where I know (of) the whole crew. I remember the episode when you made over James’ space, I recall Alanna’s graceful galloping from various videos, and we have ALL been loving the Graham cam recently. I think it’s so heartwarming to not only know you have this great team behind you, but that we know them too!
I LOVE love love business talk on UA-cam! It so interesting to hear the stories about people starting and building their brand, how they organise work & employees etc. It shows how much time and effort it takes to make things happen.
Id love to see a video about how you grew your business! Ive been watching your videos since you were a one person operation, and you inspired me to start my own this past year. It's so great to learn more about women-run small businesses.
This was so warm, optimistic and just happy. I’m amazed at how you’ve built your company from scratch with your creativity and hard work. Love your videos and kudos for your well-earned success! And “you can see my light” just as it is would make a great ringtone.
I LOVED this breakdown of how things work behind the scenes. I’ve been watching for a few years now and I have noticed such a positive evolution of this channel. You’ve done a fantastic job of putting together the team you have… the more you work together, the better your videos are. The chemistry between all of you is precious and I find myself laughing so much more, lately. I love the choices to keep the outtakes and laughing fits and overall goofy times as part of the episodes. I love watching home shows on HGTV but I am most excited to watch Team AG on UA-cam because you guys are so down to earth and natural. By far my favourite channel to watch. I hope your business grows in a way that will one day allow you to bring your makeovers to the Niagara Region, where I live! 😂
It is literally amazing how many people are on your team! I totally did not realize it was so many, and everyone feels essential. You've got a great team, and I always love the videos you guys put together!
As a business and marketing strategist, I LOVED this! So fun to hear you talk about operations and behind the scenes look at how you run your business. Thank you for continuing to be a vulnerable entrepreneur! We need more authenticity in this space.
Your comment that the best thing you did was hiring good people to work with you really resonates and shows what a great attitude you have and some of the smartest entrepreneurs have said the same thing. It really is all about the people you surround yourself with and doing something you’re so passionate about. I love your channel and really enjoyed this video and all the background information and work that has gone into creating this channel and your company. I’m sure your employees love working with you.
I think the "You can see my light" should stay as an inside joke in videos lol. I knew exactly where that song came from because I've watched so many of your videos lol and it's kind of like a AG video inside joke...!
I always love when UA-camrs share their business “bts” because it also makes the whole idea of UA-cam more accessible for more people. I’ve always admired your “business structure” from the little bits that come through in videos… so cool to have it all explained!
You do have a special light! I happened on your channel about a year ago and look forward to your videos. I am probably your oldest follower...love to see what the young folks are up to.
I think between your previous work experience and the fact you had a fully thought out vision of what you wanted to achieve you were able to really grow this amazing network! I think its really kind that you decided to make this video and I appreciate how well explained it is. You clearly have a knack for marketing and learning from those around you and identifying the right people for the job, which is a very hard skill, let alone natural talent, to have. You've worked really hard and are incredibly gifted (as is your crew!) and giving us a layover of how you have done this is amazing
As someone who has a small youtube channel, I really appreciate you talking about all the behind the scene things that have to happen in order to make your channel work! 🧡
Hello!!! PLEASE TURN ON CLOSED CAPTIONS all the times. When next time your new video & everyone can read on UA-cam as CC ok. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! 🦃🍽 🍁🤟🏻👍🏻🍷🎶👏🏻😀
Scheduling must be huge and intense because you have projects all staggered at different stages of completion… and to keep them all on time and flowing would be a big endeavour. Let alone the mental switching between them. Well done team!
I really enjoy seeing the team members and hearing you credit their hard work and talent. So many youtubers pretend to work alone, when in fact they probably have even bigger teams behind them
Love this video! One video idea is to compile your tips and tricks into one video like your lighting hacks (sconces or ceiling fixtures), renter friendly wallpaper application and removal, how to choose paint colors, hardware, and your advice on choosing rug sizes for different spaces. They're all trickled into your amazing makeovers, would love to have one go-to video! Amazing job, Team AG.
Thank you for the transparency and for sharing what your path and vision are. Love your aesthetic and energy and it shows in the team you’ve put together and the homes and lives you’ve transformed!!
So interesting to hear a young voice with such an amazing bunch of ideas,talent and energy, able to create a business and make it thrive.Congratulations
Thank you for sharing so candidly. It’s rare to get a simple, “inside look” into a UA-camr’s business. It felt like you were having a one on one convo with us. 💛
I can see your light! You are able to articulate so much of your extremely complicated process so that it makes perfect sense to your viewers. Thanks so much for this.
So sweet of you to answer these questions. I’m making over my sister’s kitchen right now and 95% copying a makeover you have done. I am gonna email each business from the links in the video and let them know team AG sent me. Bc I want you to make tons of $$ so you can keep making these amazing videos bc they are awesome and (kinda cringe) but has like changed my life. You and lone fox and DIY w KB….😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
There is something truly decent about you Alexandra and about your entire team. Besides your amazing creativity and style, that is one of the biggest reasons why I subscribed and why I love getting notifications that a video of yours is out. So happy that Graham is going full-time with the team - congrats!! Love to all of you.
Knowing that James edits the final video and adds the finishing touches and that he chose that pic of himself in the red glasses as his profile photo for the team pics has me ROTFLMAO !!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I started watching your channel early on in the pandemic, and it's been such a treat watching your team and brand grow! It's honestly my comfort channel when I'm working, or sometimes I'll put it on when I'm cleaning my apartment and hoping for some inspiration! It's so refreshing to see a video like this, breaking down the real production and business side. It really does take some vulnerability to be so transparent about delegating, and needing a well rounded team to make this sustainable. I love your team's energy so much, and as someone who has worked in various production/entertainment roles, it's so validating to see them get their kudos! It's all about the gratitude, and it shows.
Your success and growth is phenomenal, sister. I worked today and just listened to videos in the background and it made me laugh to think about how much I know about your episodes. I pretend I’m part of Team AG when I’m re-doing my apartment. Channeling my inner Gater. 😂
It's great to learn more about the team and what each person does as part of the makeover process. I would love to see more makeovers in the team ag members' spaces - really loved the ones for Alessandra and Carla's studios. Maybe Amanda next?
Love all the transparency!! This has seriously not just been my favorite UA-cam channel but my favorite home decor series/channel since the early days of TLC (Trading Spaces). Y'all are so much fun and I get so many ideas - love it!!
It's a very long shot, but it would be great if your company could come to SW Florida, particularly in Ft Myers. So many ppl have lost homes and are moving to apartments and having to start all over from scratch. It would be cool if some of them could have a gorgeous home done by Team AG. I love your channel and am so stinkin proud of you, Alexandra!
OMG I'm so glad you explained "You Can See My Light" 🤣🤣🤣 I have searched high and low for this song, I really hope you make a full length song out of it!!
I admire your work so much! love your energy and the team work vibe, you are a very smart business woman! very thankful for this channel and for getting to watch you grow over the years
I loved this video! Pulls the curtain back on how you make it happen! Very motivating and informative! Good luck to growing your business, well deserved! Love how you value your team as well ☺️
This adds up the story of your journey and I have been following your channel since the time you were much younger and doing things on your own, yes Alana was there with you. The fact that you shared all the intricacies means a lot for people who follow your work. Also a special mention of the "ego" means a lot for me personally cos we all need to check ourselves first. It's very easy to say I have a great team but we all have our temperaments and to ease them out is a big things and you mentioned it on your vlog...goes a long way to show you really are honest with your craft/ skills...all of you at Team AG. Wish you the best. We understand your hardwork and it is paying off. Lots of love from India.
I definitely would love to know how you've built up your business. I've been following you on UA-cam since you started and have been impressed and thrilled at how you "pulled yourself up by your bootstraps" after being laid off by La Chatelaine. You are a true inspiration.
i think it is great that you share all this - it is very interesting, but also makes us realize how much work goes behind the camera and appreciate it even more. You and your team are amazing!
I would love a video on how you built this business from the start! I only just found you yesterday. One of the things I love about you and your channel so far is that you are filming everything even mess ups, laughter and real life which I think everyone should do because we do not live in a perfect world, like tv portrays, and because of that it is so easy to relate to all of you. Of course what you all do collectively and the finished product is beautiful and functional or this wouldn't work. What I love is these ideas, even if it's on a larger space would still work on a larger scale, but I found you because you work on smaller spaces which I have at the moment which is so amazing! I personally appreciate all your teams' hard work and your finished product thank you!!! ❤
I think you can even give advice regarding home designs for some commission for extra cash flow. Like if some one has a room with some furniture and want to improve something you can give them ideas or color palette to match what they have (maybe creating mood board so they might follow it on their account). I don’t know if my idea is clear or not. But it will give people outside the city to have a chance to have your touch. With your own roles so you can protect yourself and your team
Thank you for taking your fans so seriously and answering so thoroughly! This video was so eye- opening and informative, very interesting and has made me appreciate you guys even more as a team! GO TEAM AG! You're awesome!!!
Very interesting video. Love hearing that Graham is a full time AG team member! He really has elevated your makeovers. Thanks for sharing how your business works and what everyone does. Take care!
Thanks for having this video! I heard from someone that some ppl who do makeovers dont leave/gift everything to the recepient and that made me curious/sad at what's really happening behind these makeovers. I mean i can understand why some ppl would. Thanks for being honest and transparent abt your practices (that u are one of those who truly gift everything, wysiwyg) and it kinda made me feel like there's still hope in this world. Lol
Been around since the Chatelaine and Buy or DIY days. I loved this video -- it is so cool to hear just how much you've grown in the past few years! You and your team are so inspiring and fun. Thanks for sharing with us!
This was so great, the behind the scenes is so interesting! It’s also nice to know as a viewer that the employees working on the videos we watch are treated well. One of my favourite parts is your videos is your team dynamics! Your set looks so fun! I have been watching you since the beginning and have enjoyed the journey!

Thumbs up people!!!
@@AlexandraGater Pin the comment! I want it as a ring tone! ❤
I need it as a ringtone 😭😂
Who’s going to add up all the different petitions??
@@AlexandraGater if you don't make the song , i will lol
I would love for Graham to have his own series teaching us how he makes the different pieces
Exactly, so he can explain in detail how he does the certain project.
@@SavySweetie that would create a third again as much content as well
I’d watch a series of Graham shorts where he just talks about which tools are for which jobs. I want to know more about brad nailers!
@@angelaglaros, yes! I’d love a tutorial on power tools!!
💯

Yes please we need a full recording of you can see my light
A full song would be awesome, but I could see (hear!) it as a ring-tone..? Record!
I agree... you could come up with more lyrics and make it into a full song. Maybe one of your viewers is a songwriter and could help you if you wanted.
make it a full song with viewers help, but also release it as is as a ringtone or text sound?!! PLEASE DO THIS
"It really is like a real makeover show." No, Alexandra, your show IS a real makeover show, and probably more real than some of the network shows.

I would fully watch a show where Graham teaches about the different tools he uses and how to make DIYs.
You inspire so many young people. Your a business woman, designer and artist. UA-cam is more popular than regular television to a certain age group. Congrats on your accomplishments. You are surrounded by exceptional people and I love to see your channel growing even more❤😊
This is a lovely comment thank you!!!
You inspire older people too, and we also watch UA-cam more than regular TV 😊
@@lisawende5161 :) I was dropping in to say the same! Then thinking, not OLD. but definitely oldER. :)
@@MyFocusVaries Totally agree. I’m older and an AG fan. Great work team, lovely make overs and fun content. ☺️
@@MyFocusVaries doing peel and stick wallpaper this weekend cuz of episodes from this channel.
Graham mini series?🤞
Yessss
Yes please
Now THIS is the petition I’m on board with! No studio single please, we just want Graham 😁
Congratulations to Graham for coming full-time! That's excellent. I'd love to hear more about how you grew your business.
I really cannot believe you don't have more followers.
Favorite line "I'm creative, she's reality".
I hope young entrepreneurs see this video. Very informative. Inspiring. Revealing the initial slog of it all is important. Building a successful business from what you love takes patience, work, even more patience, flexibility, and a team.

I was so impressed by "You Can See My Light" story )))))))
“You can see my light” would make a great ringtone or alarm notification.
it makes me so happy that the recipients don't have to pay for the makeover! That's so generous of team AG. I love that!!!!!!

As a business and marketing strategist, I LOVED this! So fun to hear you talk about operations and behind the scenes look at how you run your business. Thank you for continuing to be a vulnerable entrepreneur! We need more authenticity in this space.
This whole time I thought “you can see my light” was a Canadian church hymn. Always makes me laugh!
😂😂😂. I though it was a church song too.
Love how candid and REAL you are and have always been!
I was typing an email as I was watching and accidentally typed, "Please see my light". ROFL. DYING.
Your comment that the best thing you did was hiring good people to work with you really resonates and shows what a great attitude you have and some of the smartest entrepreneurs have said the same thing. It really is all about the people you surround yourself with and doing something you’re so passionate about. I love your channel and really enjoyed this video and all the background information and work that has gone into creating this channel and your company. I’m sure your employees love working with you.
Petition For: "You Can See my Light." I can listen to it while doing my rehab exercises.
Somehow I always thought „you can see my light“ is something out of a T. Swift song 😂. Now I really want her to create a song around that line 😂😂😂
Yes, I would be interested in knowing how you built your business. Thanks!
Everyone sings ‘u can c my light’ beautiful / we all love it
I think the "You can see my light" should stay as an inside joke in videos lol. I knew exactly where that song came from because I've watched so many of your videos lol and it's kind of like a AG video inside joke...!
I always love when UA-camrs share their business “bts” because it also makes the whole idea of UA-cam more accessible for more people.
I’ve always admired your “business structure” from the little bits that come through in videos… so cool to have it all explained!
You do have a special light! I happened on your channel about a year ago and look forward to your videos. I am probably your oldest follower...love to see what the young folks are up to.
I think between your previous work experience and the fact you had a fully thought out vision of what you wanted to achieve you were able to really grow this amazing network! I think its really kind that you decided to make this video and I appreciate how well explained it is. You clearly have a knack for marketing and learning from those around you and identifying the right people for the job, which is a very hard skill, let alone natural talent, to have. You've worked really hard and are incredibly gifted (as is your crew!) and giving us a layover of how you have done this is amazing
As someone who has a small youtube channel, I really appreciate you talking about all the behind the scene things that have to happen in order to make your channel work! 🧡
Yay, more Graham!! He is SO talented, as are you and the rest of your team! So crazy to see how far team AG has coke. Cheers to the future! 🎉
Hello!!! PLEASE TURN ON CLOSED CAPTIONS all the times. When next time your new video & everyone can read on UA-cam as CC ok. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! 🦃🍽 🍁🤟🏻👍🏻🍷🎶👏🏻😀
Scheduling must be huge and intense because you have projects all staggered at different stages of completion… and to keep them all on time and flowing would be a big endeavour. Let alone the mental switching between them. Well done team!
I really enjoy seeing the team members and hearing you credit their hard work and talent. So many youtubers pretend to work alone, when in fact they probably have even bigger teams behind them
I love learning about the businesses behind UA-cam channels I subscribe to! Found this vlog really interesting.
Love this video! One video idea is to compile your tips and tricks into one video like your lighting hacks (sconces or ceiling fixtures), renter friendly wallpaper application and removal, how to choose paint colors, hardware, and your advice on choosing rug sizes for different spaces. They're all trickled into your amazing makeovers, would love to have one go-to video! Amazing job, Team AG.
I can just imagine there being a folder of team AG singing ‘see my light’ clips 😂😂
Why am I getting emotional listening to you talk through how your business has progressed?! I feel like I’ve watched you grow
Thank you for the transparency and for sharing what your path and vision are. Love your aesthetic and energy and it shows in the team you’ve put together and the homes and lives you’ve transformed!!
So interesting to hear a young voice with such an amazing bunch of ideas,talent and energy, able to create a business and make it thrive.Congratulations
Thank you for sharing so candidly. It’s rare to get a simple, “inside look” into a UA-camr’s business. It felt like you were having a one on one convo with us. 💛
Please PLEASE!! Do a video of how you started your UA-cam channel!! I’m so inspired by you and your team!
I can see your light! You are able to articulate so much of your extremely complicated process so that it makes perfect sense to your viewers. Thanks so much for this.
So sweet of you to answer these questions. I’m making over my sister’s kitchen right now and 95% copying a makeover you have done. I am gonna email each business from the links in the video and let them know team AG sent me. Bc I want you to make tons of $$ so you can keep making these amazing videos bc they are awesome and (kinda cringe) but has like changed my life. You and lone fox and DIY w KB….😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
There is something truly decent about you Alexandra and about your entire team. Besides your amazing creativity and style, that is one of the biggest reasons why I subscribed and why I love getting notifications that a video of yours is out. So happy that Graham is going full-time with the team - congrats!! Love to all of you.
Knowing that James edits the final video and adds the finishing touches and that he chose that pic of himself in the red glasses as his profile photo for the team pics has me ROTFLMAO !!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I started watching your channel early on in the pandemic, and it's been such a treat watching your team and brand grow! It's honestly my comfort channel when I'm working, or sometimes I'll put it on when I'm cleaning my apartment and hoping for some inspiration! It's so refreshing to see a video like this, breaking down the real production and business side. It really does take some vulnerability to be so transparent about delegating, and needing a well rounded team to make this sustainable. I love your team's energy so much, and as someone who has worked in various production/entertainment roles, it's so validating to see them get their kudos! It's all about the gratitude, and it shows.
Your success and growth is phenomenal, sister. I worked today and just listened to videos in the background and it made me laugh to think about how much I know about your episodes. I pretend I’m part of Team AG when I’m re-doing my apartment. Channeling my inner Gater. 😂
It's great to learn more about the team and what each person does as part of the makeover process. I would love to see more makeovers in the team ag members' spaces - really loved the ones for Alessandra and Carla's studios. Maybe Amanda next?
So impressed with your openess and honesty. I absolutely love your designs and your channel.
Love all the transparency!! This has seriously not just been my favorite UA-cam channel but my favorite home decor series/channel since the early days of TLC (Trading Spaces). Y'all are so much fun and I get so many ideas - love it!!
You can’t believe how often I catch myself singing “You can see my light”
You can see my, light. See my LIGHT! 😃🙂🥰
This is the best breakdown of how a business works that I’ve seen. Well done team!
It's a very long shot, but it would be great if your company could come to SW Florida, particularly in Ft Myers. So many ppl have lost homes and are moving to apartments and having to start all over from scratch. It would be cool if some of them could have a gorgeous home done by Team AG. I love your channel and am so stinkin proud of you, Alexandra!
OMG I'm so glad you explained "You Can See My Light" 🤣🤣🤣 I have searched high and low for this song, I really hope you make a full length song out of it!!
I admire your work so much! love your energy and the team work vibe, you are a very smart business woman! very thankful for this channel and for getting to watch you grow over the years
I loved this video! Pulls the curtain back on how you make it happen! Very motivating and informative! Good luck to growing your business, well deserved! Love how you value your team as well ☺️
This adds up the story of your journey and I have been following your channel since the time you were much younger and doing things on your own, yes Alana was there with you. The fact that you shared all the intricacies means a lot for people who follow your work. Also a special mention of the "ego" means a lot for me personally cos we all need to check ourselves first. It's very easy to say I have a great team but we all have our temperaments and to ease them out is a big things and you mentioned it on your vlog...goes a long way to show you really are honest with your craft/ skills...all of you at Team AG. Wish you the best. We understand your hardwork and it is paying off. Lots of love from India.
I definitely would love to know how you've built up your business. I've been following you on UA-cam since you started and have been impressed and thrilled at how you "pulled yourself up by your bootstraps" after being laid off by La Chatelaine. You are a true inspiration.
i think it is great that you share all this - it is very interesting, but also makes us realize how much work goes behind the camera and appreciate it even more. You and your team are amazing!
Also I wish we had Article here in Australia, I love the sofas and beds featured in this channel so much.
I would love a video on how you built this business from the start! I only just found you yesterday.
One of the things I love about you and your channel so far is that you are filming everything even mess ups, laughter and real life which I think everyone should do because we do not live in a perfect world, like tv portrays, and because of that it is so easy to relate to all of you. Of course what you all do collectively and the finished product is beautiful and functional or this wouldn't work. What I love is these ideas, even if it's on a larger space would still work on a larger scale, but I found you because you work on smaller spaces which I have at the moment which is so amazing!
I personally appreciate all your teams' hard work and your finished product thank you!!! ❤
I think you can even give advice regarding home designs for some commission for extra cash flow. Like if some one has a room with some furniture and want to improve something you can give them ideas or color palette to match what they have (maybe creating mood board so they might follow it on their account). I don’t know if my idea is clear or not. But it will give people outside the city to have a chance to have your touch. With your own roles so you can protect yourself and your team
Thank you for taking your fans so seriously and answering so thoroughly! This video was so eye- opening and informative, very interesting and has made me appreciate you guys even more as a team! GO TEAM AG! You're awesome!!!
Very interesting video. Love hearing that Graham is a full time AG team member! He really has elevated your makeovers. Thanks for sharing how your business works and what everyone does. Take care!
Thanks for having this video! I heard from someone that some ppl who do makeovers dont leave/gift everything to the recepient and that made me curious/sad at what's really happening behind these makeovers. I mean i can understand why some ppl would. Thanks for being honest and transparent abt your practices (that u are one of those who truly gift everything, wysiwyg) and it kinda made me feel like there's still hope in this world. Lol
Been around since the Chatelaine and Buy or DIY days. I loved this video -- it is so cool to hear just how much you've grown in the past few years! You and your team are so inspiring and fun. Thanks for sharing with us!
This was so great, the behind the scenes is so interesting! It’s also nice to know as a viewer that the employees working on the videos we watch are treated well. One of my favourite parts is your videos is your team dynamics! Your set looks so fun! I have been watching you since the beginning and have enjoyed the journey!
