Well, outy out there internet people, let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about change and

how things progress over time, evolution, old ideas, and new ideas.

You know, when this channel started more than half a decade ago,

almost immediately. than half a decade ago. Almost immediately it started to foster a community that had real world impacts that really got out there and did good.

That video the other day, I'll put it down below.

It really drove it home for me because that was just a fraction,

just a fraction of what this community has done over the years.

And one of the things that we've always said, it's been a, I don't know, a guiding principle on the channel

is that ideas stand and fall on their own.

Not because of some perceived authority of the person saying it,

not because of the messenger, but because the idea and the information is valid.

That has always kind of been the core here.

And luckily, as the community grew,

that stayed a part of it. It's why the channel never really succumbed to all the sensationalism, because that was a key element. And as the channel grew, and the community grew,

the team behind it did too.

As many of you have noted, I have been doing this for years without a day off.

And many of you cautioned that I was burning myself out.

You were right. You were right. So I am stepping away from the channel. As many of you warned,

repeatedly, I was going to over-exhaust myself. I did. The years have definitely

taken their toll but I am so proud of this community and what it has done and what it will do.

And that brings us back to the team.

You know, the people whose work and efforts, you all saw for years, but you never saw them.
