    Dont forget Adam, being a better human being is not about getting more and more material thing's...its the inner work and understanding and mastering your emotional self in regards to your relationship with yourself and towards other's on a day to day basis..

    Hi Adam, I grew up in Oceanside, Calif in the late 50s and 60s . I had so much fun, hiking, swimming, and biking the Southern Calif mountains and beaches. Continued success and stay humble.

    Things like this are where I draw in my motivation and positive attitude, not everything is relevent to me but the parts that are just soak in and give a lot of perspective especially where I am now in life after coming out of a really deep depression that's lasted almost 3 years. I'm almost ready to get back to living a normal life again!
    Have a good one :)

    Great video Adam! I am a brit (well, nowadays a dual citizen) who moved from the Cotswolds in 2001 to hot & sunny Scottsdale AZ. Really enjoying following your journey and your adventures (with Producer Michael too!). I admire your down to earth nature and agree with your comments and advise for others looking to possibly do the same. Yes it is a lot of hassle to get a visa/sponser etc but I am so glad I took the plunge to create a better life for myself (and my family).

    Really liked this one Adam. The point about scripting...ya know, the thing I like about your videos is that I feel like when you are talking to us, we are hanging out and having a beer. Just really casual. That's your style and it works really well. This is a great thing you are doing because it gives you the opportunity to connect with people. I discovered you through a video you did about dirt track racing photography. That's a huge passion of mine and through that one video, I then discovered your work for the Producer Michael channel. So, what you do, is you open up to people and even though I don't know you personally, I feel like if I were to meet you in person, I would be able to have a conversation with you because I know a lot about you. Make sense? I also like the fact that you engage with us by commenting here or answering DMs on Instagram. That shows you are a good dude and care about the people that watch your videos and follow your work.

    You and Michael inspire me to work hard everyday and go back to school to get my music degree. I know i won't make it big in the music industry but thats not my goal. I just want to know as much as their is about music. Id love to open up my own guitar store or open up a coffee shop in my town. I travel to the beach and plan on going to Vegas once this virus goes away and ive never been to Vegas so its a win win for me. I love you guys so much and i can't thank you two enough. If it wasn't for you guys id probably would have been just a normal working guy with no reason to chase my dreams. So again thank you Adam and thanks to Michael for being so positive and showing us what hard work gets us. 🤘🤘🤘

    I am so happy you don't script your videos anymore, I can totally understand in the beginning you kinda 'had to', because we know you from Producer Michael and so you want to do it right.
    But I think I can say you now entered a stage that your followers (at least it counts for me!) like to see what you do, who Adam is. I really enjoy seeing you succeed and enjoy life, so no matter if you go drink a tea staring at the wall 😅 or you going for an adventure. Your personality will make it fun anyway!

    Adam, you are a very intelligent and wise person. This was an excellent video (although it left me feeling sad and depressed about my failures in life) and I came away thinking that you should be a motivational speaker (oh great, something else to take away your precious time, right?). I can see why Producer Michael and you are such good friends.

    Adam enjoyed this video and all that you have spoken about life learnings. I am 73 years old and retired and an ex pat and it has taken me most of that time to learn what you know at such an early age. My business reached a level that most would be happy with but I wanted more. Tried all sorts of things to make this happen but never found the magic button. In contracting its price at the end of day and the reward by working cheap would not equal effort and getting more to that place. Does that make sense

    Cool video and information.
    Loathe the "taking advantage"of young and naive people.As an old bag,I had the pleasure of working with a young man who would change mobile phones in the 1980s,he was on a visit to a shark without any protection.Fortunately he told me about needing the day off and the reason,I introduce him to my lawyers,they helped,A LOT.The shark had every intention of taking his ideas for a miserly sum of money which the lawyers helped him protect and still hold as a great product.The shark was not best pleased,even turned up at my side job to berate me for daring to put a young man to rights,he chose to pick on the wrong one.Why not give a helping hand ,I am not saying it will always work out but don't trod on the young and starting out,we have all been there.
