I always learn something new from Gary. Highly recommended too!

Agreed. I love Gary; you can tell he is superbly passionate about these videos.

I’m glad you find them helpful. But I always find a blog post or article that takes less than 5 minutes to read and you can refer back and forth to while you’re following instructions or trying multiple tips much more useful than a video covering the same information that takes 20 minutes to watch even if you don’t have to stop or rewind any of it.
