    So true what Mark says about KZread, so often your best videos barely get watched and then some little throwaway video does relatively well. It’s frustrating at times but we’re not digging ditches for a living at the end of the day. Great podcast guys!

    What a fantastic interview Mark. Was totally hooked and fascinated by your life story and how humble you are despite your success in life. Also all credit to you for keeping the family business alive with your brother on top of everything you do on youtube. Dont put too much pressure on yourself to be a youtube hero, we love your videos when they come out but family comes first and you come across as a great husband and father which is the real win ❤

    What baffles me is how Mark doesn't mention how he came into KZread. Which was first featuring on Ryan Taylors Channel as the complaining neighbour, and then going on to have Jordan (Ryan's guy) as his videographer for the first year of his channel.
