It's been some time since I last posted a video. I'm going through some personal things. Some of you might have a clue based on my last few videos. However, other things are also happening in the background. An important project I am working on is writing a new book on a topic I've never tackled before. I can't give any clues for now. It's my hope that finish this book before the end of the year. And perhaps publish it in January 2026. Also, this channel will be shifting and changing directions in the months to come.

This weekend, I was at a creator event, #Vidfest2025. It's the first live creator event I've ever attended. It was conveniently in Atlanta. A fellow attendee ‪@EdVenturesVlog‬ continuously livestreamed his entire experience for over 10 hours at a time. It was mind-blowing to me. It was a live reality show on both Twitch and Youtube courtesy of his two streaming accounts. As Ed explained to me, I (among others) was a recurring character because I made several appearances and conversations on camera.

It was a new experience for me. I never intentionally inserted myself into his livestreams but I was genuinely curious, fascinated and in awe what he was doing in front of all of us the entire 3 days. I also found Ed smart, insightful, interesting, and just an all-around likable guy. He stretched my brain as a creator. He gave me a lot to think about.

During the course of 3 days, when I saw him, I would say hello to him. But when I did, he would always be recording. I was initially a bit cautious but I decided to just relax and go along for the ride.

It's one thing to read or hear about IRL live streaming but it is another thing to be there live and participating first hand. It was a fun, interesting, and a mind-expanding experience for me. I am grateful to ‪@EdVenturesVlog‬ for including me as part of the 3-day experience.

Anyone curious about #vidfest in general should watch check out his #Vidfest2025 livestreams. He did a great job documenting the experience and capturing the spirit of what happened and the energy there.

I enjoyed meeting ‪@heartonfire.podcast‬ , ‪@bizwithbecs‬ , ‪@RobertoBlake‬ (Creator Industry Pioneer), ‪@LandTheTalk‬ , ‪@DavidCBarnett‬ (thanks for the great books!) , ‪@jaycameronofficial‬ , ‪@drchrisloomdphd‬ , ‪‪@godandgigs‬ ‬, and many others.

Below are direct links to my "appearances" with ‪@EdVenturesVlog‬ at #Vidfest2025 #Vidfest during the 3-days. Some start out "voice only" and then I end up on being on camera for a few minutes. Enjoy!

If you are over 50 years old, and ever kicked around the idea of starting your own Youtube channel, you might want to hear the "hidden" message I "found" by Dr. McCoy. :-)

In the last 3 years, there has been growing community & viewer interest in learning how to control property tax expenses & engage the property tax appeal process. However, my main channel was never intended to become a property tax channel. Because of growing viewership, increasing book sales amzn.to/3LLAiNW, and YouTube algorithm reasons...

My new channel, TAX FREEZE COMMAND, youtube.com/@taxfreezecommand, was created just to cover specialized property tax topics. As of today, there are 4 new videos uploaded to that new channel. Going forward, any property tax & IRS tax related videos will post on the new channel...

HOWEVER, I NEED your support. For me to put more resources into creating videos on the new channel, please SUBSCRIBE to that new channel youtube.com/@taxfreezecommand. I would be GRATEFUL for YOUR viewership & subscription so that I can eventually monetize videos on the new channel...

My main channel, MattCommand1, will then embark forward into a different direction with experimental videos. I hope you will continue to stick around and give me feedback.

It's going to be challenging to expand my time into two channels but I think I am up for it. Thank you for your viewership & continued support!

A quick update. I'm working on two book projects that will affect my video posting schedule for the next couple of months. My 1st publishing project is to finish writing my new book before the end of 2023. My 2nd publishing project is to convert one of my Kindle books to a print version in preparation for 2024. I will have more info to share by late November.
