So I remember listening to an interview that Larry King was doing, and he was talking about his very first show, and I believe it was a radio show. And the advice that somebody gave him was just go on, be yourself, and be honest with the audience. And so he did. He went on and he told everybody, hey, my name is Larry King, this is my very first show, I'm super nervous, I'm probably gonna make a lot of mistakes. And he did make mistakes, and it wasn't a fantastic show, but the people who called in They supported him. They said, "Hey Larry, you're doing a great job. Keep going. We believe in you." It was really interesting for me because a lot of times, you know, you try to put your best foot forward. You try to maybe seem better than you are. You want people to think a certain way of you, where often the best way to be is just honest and authentic, and it doesn't have to be perfect every time. People like to take shots at what's perfect, and if you show some vulnerability and humanity, people are more likely to listen to your message. So that's a quick backstory. This is a Christmas message. I wanted to make a really special Christmas video and had all these big ideas, and none of them kind of came to fruition, and I started running out of time. Then I thought, okay, I'm not gonna do any video, and I can just do a regular video, not a Christmas video. But I thought, you know, like, I really appreciate you guys watching, the audience, so I'm just gonna have an honest, heartfelt message. And, you know, the past year YouTube has been such a huge area of happiness for me. It's part of my daily routine. Every morning I wake up and I look at your comments, and you guys are the fuel for me. You guys keep me excited and motivated and energetic and happy and believing in myself and what we're trying to do. And I'm so grateful for all of your comments, for all of your love, for all of your sharing. I really mean that. That's That's coming from here. And it's really been one of the best parts of my business and of my life for the past year. So I wanted to just send a Merry Christmas message to thank you guys for all of your love and support. I hope you have an awesome Christmas. I hope you are able to spend some time with your family. Do something nice for somebody, even if it's a total stranger. And take a little bit of time, recharge those batteries, because we're going to all have an awesome 2015. And I will see you guys on the other side. Thank you again so much for your viewership, your loyalty, your love. Merry Christmas, continue to believe, and I'll see you soon.
