I'm having a lovely time hanging out with our parents at their house in very damp North Carolina.

It's lovely.

It's just very wet.

Sickening a step back for me is important and very nice, especially right after Vidcon, where I'm always like hanging out with people who are doing really cool things.

And I start to think that they're doing cool things to mean they're smarter than me making good decisions that I'm not making taking opportunities that I'm not seeing.

And I bet a lot of people can relate to this feeling that you look around other people and think, Oh my God, they actually they actually know what they're doing.

But I have that thought all the time, which is ridiculous.

This is the biggest secret of online video.

Of course, no one has any idea what they're doing.

I'm standing in the rain with my computer.

Basically, I'm saying, if the person who started the conference that you're at, I can feel this way than any person can in any circumstance, it's just a human nature thing, I guess.

One thing One thing to remember is that over time my drive has changed shadings that I once wanted to do.

I don't want to do as much anymore.

And then I looked back, and I think how I missed the opportunity to do that thing, but intentionally because I didn't want to do is just talking with our dad while standing on a bridge watching my son throw rocks into a creek.

It was nice, and I told him an idea I had for a business, and he said to me, She ain't gonna do that, are you?

And I said, Of course not.

No, just because a business opportunity exists doesn't mean that I'm going to go and do it.

But there was a point in my life when that actually was how I felt.

I felt like if I wasn't creating all of the economic value I could then, in a sense, I was I was failing society.

I still feel obligations to society.

Of course, I just don't feel that particular one anymore.

I run a bunch of different businesses.

One of the less glamorous ones is one of the ones that I like the most.

It's a shipping company.

We create great products for content creators that they can sell to their communities.

Started it with my friend Alan in 2008 and now I'm running up my friend Dave.

It sounds a little boring.

It's not an app, but it's found a niche, is doing its thing, makes people happy and helps creators grow their businesses or go full time.

And the success of that business relied on me realizing, accepting and actually being excited about the fact that I didn't want it to make billions of dollars and gets sold to Amazon or some terrible thing.

And so I have two pieces of dft.

Be a dot com related news one.

John You and I as great as we are, lots of things have too much stuff on the shelves in the d.

F.

T B a warehouse, and nobody ever comes to me and tells me this because I'm the CEO of the company.

So we're doing a thing for 17 99 and this includes shipping anywhere in the world.

We will send you a big old bag off Log Brothers stuff up to 10 items, and that includes shirts and hats and posters and decals and pin.

This is gonna last two weeks unless we run out of stuff.

And also other things are on sale.

For example, the bobbleheads which we made too many of.

Let's just be honest and we're selling those for $2.

Now they're $2 everybody.

You'll also have to pay for shipping on those obvious reasons why and wherein.

Dft be a socks right now I am wearing Do you have to be a socks right now?

They're so comfy.

Can I show you my socks without falling off a mountain?

I kicked leaf onto my head.

The other piece of dft be a news.

We decided that since we have like pretty big goals for what we would like to do with regard to maternal health in Liberia, with partners in health that we're gonna take the vast majority of the aftertax profit of D of t v dot com and give it two partners in health toe work on that project, which we will have more information on soon.

This is D of T B AIDS money, the money that it makes doing its business, whether that money comes from Kurt's, Qatar, Lindsay Ellis or the McElroy Brothers or Life's Library, and we'll still be doing the rest of our business.

Exactly.

The same repair employs the same well, bonus from the same.

What is gonna take the profit and start giving it to something that mattered more?

Because that those are the obligations that I feel now.

It's just about people coming together to solve problems and make things that people like and also to get some space in our warehouse.

Kanaan is mad.

He wants us to make some space.

So big sale.

That's what's happening.

John.

I'll see you on Tuesday.

It's so pretty out here.

Enjoy everyone.

I should always log in the middle of the woods.

Beautiful.

God, I didn't start raining harder.

I'm lucky.
