Colin and Samir, the guys that run the YouTube channel where they interview creators like Mr Beast, need to read this.

This is an awesome 😎 post. Thank you!

I think some of these "influencers" would do well to familiarize themselves with this emerging art. Thanks for reading, Michael. :)

I confess: I am captured by your texts. I am for sure part of your real audience. You always plant a seed in my brain. I enjoy its effect. Thanks.
