I missed you guys 😃 For those of you who are sticking around, Thank you! You are absolutely amazing, and I cant wait to post more videos! For those who are leaving, Thank you! You made me who I am, and I'm so grateful for you! I hope you go on to do amazing things!

Ahh thanks for sharing man! Looks like a lot of healthy things are in your future. Proud of ya man!

Good to see you back man! We’ve missed ya!

Good to see you back Billy! Amazing video!

What a genuine account. I'm just seeing your videos for the first time and the 18 minutes flew by, feeling like I was spending time with an old friend. Keep it up, your new path gives you so much more to share. It's clear that your struggle has come with lessons to teach others, what a gift... 🙌🙏

Oh, Wow! You have struck a cord for me. I quit my channel for multiple reasons and I've been trying to regain the confidence to start up again. Your story has inspired me greatly! Thank you so much for being vulnerable and for sharing your true experience and feelings. Think Media is one of my favourite channels! Good for you for getting in there and gaining some new experience. I'm glad that when you departed that there was no bad blood. I look forward to seeing what you come out with next. I'm a new subscriber. All the best! Janice.

Thank you so much for this video. I had tears in my eyes and could relate so much. Im not at 150k, just recently crossed 10k on this channel. But in the KZfaq and Online Business Game since 2015. Always Pay-check to Pay-check. 2020 all my income from my first Travel Business stopped…. 5 years of grind. And i guess where the tears came… is when you mentioned you did not have friends. Just employees. I travel now since 2015. Always hustle… And this constant feeling of no meaning inside of me… but somewhere has to come the money to eat food. I totally relate. Cheers Daniel ❤

God bless you, man. Great to hear your story!

Thank you for sharing. You are very young and able to be so honest about these personal things, which is something some of us wait until our late 40s to lower our ego enough to do. I appreciate that. It is good to see @JasonYadlovski and @CasayFaris supporting you here. All three of you have been very helpful to me. Thank you and God bless.

Man good to see you back! I saw the way you grew from less than 1k to over 150k 😁 I'm glad to hear that even though a lot of negative things happened to you there's a new chapter in your life with you wife and baby so congratulations on that. I really hope you keep growing and achieving all of your goals.

Miss you Billy. You are one of the best Davinci Resolve mentors for me. Don't push yourself too much. You and your family must come first. Greetings from Thailand ❤

I'm actually a missionary in Japan, started a KZfaq channel as a hobby, now it's turned into a little bit of a "tent making" scenario, but I definitely feel the tension between trying to balance the channel, ministry, and family. Looking forward to seeing what you got coming up next!

Hey Billy, God bless you for your transparency! Let me encourage you by saying I watched dozens of your Da Vinci video tutorials during COVID and you helped me keep my church online through the pandemic. I’m a Pastor in Toronto and You were a rock for me during that crisis, and I am eternally grateful.

I had wondered what had happen, good to see you are back and I can relate although on a much smaller scale. I learned a lot about Davinci Resolve (and still learning) from you but when you disappeared I actually unsubscribed but the good news is I have resubscribed and look forward to learning from you again !

Going through all of this and emerging with your passion, smile AND marriage intact is a remarkable achievement! Happy to see you back here!

impressing story billy, wish you good luck and much success for the future, you deserve it & your tutorials helped me to grow with davinci resolve, so thanks for this journey, I will support you and your videos in the future🎥✌

Probably one of your best and most useful 'tutorials' Billy.... a lot of people don't see beyond the screen and don't realize that time is our most valuable asset. This video will help a lot of people, it certainly helped me keep things in focus.... I am not a youtuber but what you shared today applies to any job or activity you do. Dude you are really young and have learnt so much in so little time, you are already rich, in knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for sharing.

Still using all the resolve purchases I made! So they’re still to good use. Sorry to hear you’re burnt out. Know from experience it’s not fun. But glad to hear that you’re bouncing back and look forward to seeing your new content!

I have watched a ton of your videos and never subbed. I almost didn't watch this either because I'm busy... busy for the exact reasons you discuss being burnt out and drowned in stuff. Your story is shockingly similar to mine in a lot of ways, aside from the fact that I haven't become numb to what I'm doing and I've mostly just continued to branch out and chase the topics and ideas that fascinate me to stay inspired. However I do have all the "lack of processes, no procedures, no systems, etc" which I've been slowly fighting to build for the past year with a team of 6 people. This video made me sub though. Will be paying closer attention now and I think the pivot you have made is smart and valuable. Hats off, wish you luck.

Love to see ya back brotha. You were always my go to when I was learning Davinci and it's helped me out tremendously in my YT career so HUGE thanks for everything you've done.

Hey Billy, Thank you for all you are doing, I'm a fellow video editor and youth pastor. I really thank you for your tutorials. they helped me a lot. God Bless

You helped out so many people man, and were a part of their growth. I hope you know it. Youll find your balance for sure. Thanks for sharing a little bit of yourself, makes it even more important.

glad you found your peace again homie!! can't wait for the videos to start up again!! the yt struggle bus is def real, but it's also fun! welcome back!!

Go to hear from you and Glad you were able to get over those obstacles you and the family faced. Can't wait to see your next chapter. #1LOVE

Good on ya mate. You taught me heaps about Divinci. Glad you came out the other side and congrats to you and your wife on the new addition 😀

Just today I watched first video on your channel. And found attached this. You made BEST decision - not burn out. Because no one can learn and know everything. (20+y ago I was Youth pastor too)

Welcome back and God Bless! Thanks for sharing your story. Happy subscriber since July 2020 and looking forward to what's next.

it's been awhile since I watched a video from beginning to end. I've studied and watched a lot of your Davinci tutorials and have found them very helpful in my progression. I'm stoked for you and where you are today. Never knew that you were working for a company that was created from my hometown and I've followed for years as well. I'm excited to see what you're bringing to the table. Being a videographer and editor there are things I always wanted to learn about creating a KZfaq channel and can't wait to see your content. Cheers!

It's good to see you back Billy. Congrats on the baby

Didn't even know you were gone! why? because I just found you today on the last resolve video lol. Welcome back!

this is the first video I get to see from you, I don't know how you end up on my feed, but I hope you will teach me this in your future videos, I can't wait for your next video. no rush though, family and health come first so take your time, KZfaq is not going anywhere, we will wait for you

I just referenced one of your Davinci vids yesterday while editing one of my projects lol. Glad to see you are back, healthy, and doing well !

Glad to see you're doing well. Love the story and I feel the same way about being burned out. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel

Billy! Your story is relatable to me in so many ways. My channel started in Covid times. I was learning how to teach music online. Learning how to make videos (with a lot of help from you), had a two year old. I made a site and am selling a course. Each step brings so many new things to learn. The marketing part is the most annoying to me. But just to say - I get what it feels like to have too many irons in the fire. Oh yeah, my wife said she wanted a divorce in the middle of all of it. So now - half time single parent, full time job teaching at a middle school, still performing on Broadway (but only a little bit), teaching an online course, and marketing/creating for the course. Anyway....that's my story....I am glad to see you looking good and feeling good

Fantastic video. Burnout is real and something I've experienced myself. Excited to see what's next for this channel. Congratulations to you and your family as well!

thank you Billy for your honesty, you are a good person. Social networks are unfortunately modern-day slavers. You also have to know how to stay free. Jim From France

Ha, I remember 2020 Billy ;) Great seeing you

Wow! What a testimony. Thanks for being vulnerable. God bless your new direction!

You found a great barber I see haha good to see you

Great to hear an update from you. I have learned a lot from your videos, and you made it all so much easier to understand with your fast paste learning.

Welcome Back! I pray God blesses you and your family as you move forward!

Welcome back and thanks a lot for sharing your story !!!

Thank you for what you have already done and how you have helped in many problems. I congratulate you on what you have already achieved and wish you happiness, as they say in my country, "on the new path of life."

I’m fully understand your burnout. I’ve recently stopped posting videos to my main KZfaq channel. KZfaq is not the same as it used to be, also the revenue is much less. I used to enjoy posting the videos as a hobby but not anymore.

missed u so much friend and waiting for the next amazing tutorials 😍🥰

Thanks for the update. Wishing you and your family the best.

Dude. Welcome back. I loved your videos and couldn't believe you just stopped. You don't owe anyone an explanation but glad you posted this and let us know. I loved your DVR tutorials, learned a lot. Looking forward to what's next.

Good to hear from you man! I've been following think media for a bit now and it's cool to hear about your involvement there!

I was wounding what happened to you mate, Good to see your still alive. You deserve a piece of the cake as you was a OG of the Resolve space. I watched you from the start and you helped me in part with my 7 years journey and relationship with Resolve.

Thank you for sharing your Story. You were one of my favorite Channels for Davinci Resolve - learned so much from you. Looking forward to hear more from you and your journey! All the best from Germany

Thank you so much Billy for sharing your story. I hope you are spending quality time with your baby and family, which is the most important. God bless you!

God Bless u dude! I'm glad you where a bit more open about your faith!

Glad you are back! Also, glad I stayed subscribed over the years, I knew one day you will be back and I'll learn a few more tips and tricks on DR.. Awesome to see you again! Congrats to you and your wife with the baby as well!

Amazing to hear from you after suchhh a loonggg time!

Billy, watched your stuff long time ago. Glad to see an update. GOD IS GOOD ALWAYS! Can your knowledge help a family content channel?

I literally just went through your channel yesterday, thinking where you have gone. And see here you are🎉

Loved this video. Thanks for Sharing. Wishing you all the best in your new direction

Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you are well. I have personally benefited from you channel as well as your templates. You were so gracious to me when you helped me out with some issues I had with the templates and you also gave me some valuable tips on using Resolve. Thank you for all you do. Bless you and your family.

Good to see you again. Congrats on the baby... to me that the best part! Glad u are well!

Great to see you back on KZfaq... Really looking forward to whatever comes next!!

I stumbled upon this video and I listened carefully until the end, the story was so inspiring and relatable in some way. The struggle is real. I am happy to see genuine people that inspire others, counting on the what you teach in this platform from now on. God Bless you and your family.

Great to see you again. All the best for the future plans! It sounds interseting what you plan to show us.

Welcome back dude, looking forward to the new videos!

Hey Billy, great to have you back! Congrats on the baby! Man, it takes a lot of courage to be so vulnerable. I've been posting on KZfaq for almost 2 years now and facing some similar issues around burnout and doing other business to support my content creation. Your Da Vinci Resolve tutorials were super helpful, so thank you! I'm excited with your new direction and am rooting for you!

I have been looking for you as I've grown my Da Vinci Resolve proficiency - great to have you back. I can't wait to pick up some of your templates! God Bless the work of your hands. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

So good to see you here again! I was kind of wondering what happened. Congratulations on becoming a father, and God bless you! 😀👍

Missed you a lot Billy. I'm so glad you were able to learn so many big lessons out of all this. You are stronger because of it. I really appreciate your candor and filling us in.

Good to see You are OK and I wish you good health and well-being 👍

There are many take aways in your story for many other professional areas as well. Really appreciate your openness and transparency. Family time never returns and your decision might even have saved you from other, harder consequences. Good choice and good for you! 🎉

Wow, what a ride. I work 6 hours a day at a court, and started to develop an app (SPEAK OUT KIDS) to stimulate speech for my autistic son, Heitor. It started growing, and is now helping thousands of autistic children, but it takes a lot of my time, and also not making much money yet. But still, I won't give up.

Wow I feel this! Good to hear from other people who go through the same things I do. Not a subscriber but I am now. I went the route of starting a 2nd channel to try to do 100k again, and while doing it am trying to help other creators in my industry grow their channels. Thanks for this video!

Definitely missed your videos, I love your style and thank you for your honesty and sharing what has been going on! I pray God will continue to guide you and your family

Thank you for this video. I feel the same for so many of these points. One put so much effort in a channel and then you look at it and think is all the time worth it? You feel tired. Then you try to reach out to people and companies, but you don't get any feedback. This also why running a day job. And then you think you want to do this permanently, but what you are getting is basically nothing. Is it worthwhile to keep on going? And sometimes you just don't enjoy it anymore.

Thank you so much Billy for all your help and answering to my emails. I started watching your KZfaq channel since you had a very tiny amount of subscribers. I did learn a lot from you 😊

Good for you billy. you are doing better than you think. you have learned so much and you are still very young.

Good to have you back! I have learned alot from your channel! Thank you 🙏🏻

Billy! This is a great video. I had no idea you were a youth pastor. As a fellow pastor and KZfaqr you have been my go to channel for learning Davinci. I’ve also enjoyed your templates. Thanks for sharing all this. Looking forward to continuing to follow your journey and learning something different from you!

Not a subscriber but learned from you, best of luck. And thanks for videos

I know it can sometimes seem like failure and things like that, but the reality is, you have what it takes. Your accomplishments are great, but may not have been all that you had hoped and dreamed. The trouble was, you didnt create a scalable business. You owned a job. I hope you have learned that portion from the journey you have and your plan for the future is with a scalable business in which you will be able to allow others to take over for you and grow it bigger than you had ever imagined... You have done great for us! I appreciate all of the things I have learned from you and am excited to see the next chapter!

😢 wow I know how it feel try and try and don’t make it the way we want to , God bless you and keep fighting

Thanks for sharing your journey ~ first time to your channel, and I just subscribed. I look forward to the next one. 😊

Bro got the magic zoom glitch😭 I feel you. Great video nun the less brother, you’re helping me create to pursue my dreams. Love from South Africa

Fair play for posting this video. It’s so hard to balance work and life. I thought growing my KZfaq channel would be easy. Wonderful to hear you have a child and you are enjoying being present for your family.

So happy you're still alive and doing good! I kept checking back and was worried after the recent trend of KZfaqrs packing it in.

I am so glad you posted again. I always liked your style and teaching skills, let alone your enthusiasm. We'll be praying for you and your next season in life.

As much as I like think media, I also love your channel too bro. Keep it up. Love your content.

Welcome back man! I was just thinking about what is happening and why you don't post videos anymore. Great to hear you are doing well now. Keep up the good work and stay healthy. 👍

Amazing story, especially a peak into others going through similar difficulties even though it looks everything is so perfect and shiny from the outside. Thank you for sharing! Hope the best for you 💪🏻

Your honesty !! Waw!! Thank you brother! God has great things for you! I've been discouraged with my channel because of my lack of knowing an this video was awsome!

Very nice to see you again. Around 2021 till last year Mai i worked and learned at a local film studio and started to use davinci because they used it. You helped me a lot learning davinci and also using fusion and tracking stuff ;) Glad your doing well. Sadly to hear you made the same mistake as many youtubers but good to hear you care now also about yourself 😊 Thanks for your generous help this whole time😊

Hi Billy, I'm glad you're back. Missed you. And indeed all glory to Him. Amen

Thank you for the update. Your videos and the Starter Kit have really helped me when it comes to editing for my YT videos. I look forward to your pivot helping other KZfaqrs. I hope to learn a lot. I want to grow my channel as, like you, I love helping and informing people as well. It's definitely hard with a full-time job on top. Wishing you many successes!

Good to see you back dude, seems like you've gone through a lot of ups and downs. hopefully the future will be a lot better.

Thank you so much for this video. I have seen many channels come and go in the years since youtube started, but I always wait and hope that my favorite channels will come back one day, when they go silent. And listening to your story now warms the heart of an almost 60-year-old computer nerd. All the best wishes to you and your family, from northern Norway. :)

A great story which shows that being a KZfaq creator is not always an easy money. It's very inspiring what you are saying, thank you Billy and all best for You and your Wife.🤗

I've enjoyed learning some things from you, bud! Glad to hear you making the main things, the main things! 👊

Congrats on getting a gig with THINK MEDIA. I really appreciate this video. It’s hard and as small channel Im always thinking where to go next. I really enjoy the hustle and grind you have. It’s undervalued!

Best of luck on your journey!!

Brother this is a good video. I'm learning to edit video, make my own videos, making my own music tracks ...you know how they run all the credits at the end of a movie ...put my name in all of those rolls. lol I've spent 5 years learning ...time to get rolling out some videos. Thank you man. I learned a lot about Davinci Resolve from you.

Hey Billy, I have 5 favorite KZfaq content creators about Davinci Resolve and you are one of those. Good to hear that you are not leaving at all. Glad to hear that you find a way to recover. Wishing you more funy time with your family.
