I'm not dead. I just have had the most difficult last three months of my life in a long time. I wanted to make sure I got in here and participated, because @Stu Lees is one of the best humans alive, and he's become a friend and a mentor, even when I don't listen to him because I'm stubborn and impulsive!

Hey all, this is the video that was the key part of success in that campaign that we talked about in the Bootcamp today.. turn up sound and give it a watch. Key points: - It's only 2:14 but it tells a story - The hook is about success and celebration - The 'sitting down part' is an excellent hook model for any video - It ends with a strong emotional pause which is masterful - The Jet boat moment creates tension and humour and then ends with a coaching lesson - The they use an assumptive close in the "Welcome to the Crusaders...." part.

I feel way more confident doing videos but now I'm worried about the reflections in my glasses and that's preventing me from posting the videos I am filming. So I guess what I am asking is to 2 things... 1. Do people watching videos actually care that the things in reflected in my glasses - like is that distracting or does that make me look unprofessional? A lot of the videos I tend to watch, people aren't wearing glasses so my inner critic is really having a field day with that to drive home some of that negative self talk. 2. Is there a way I can film these videos that reduces the reflection in my glasses? It's a problem I have often had when doing brand photos as well. Thanks!
