Happy Weekend Everyone!

Spent the whole day yesterday responding personally to each and every comment on the new APP launch video and every single email that came in.

Thank you all SO much for your support. This is just the beginning of the app, and I appreciate everyone here who believes in what I’m doing and takes the time out of their day to comment, reach out or leaves a review on the app. You guys are AWESOME!

I’ll continue to respond personally - I want to let everyone know they can always get in touch with me, no matter how big the channel and brand get!

Your friend,
DJ

I'm looking to open a Closed Feedback Group for my KNOT TYING APP.
What medium would you prefer - if you're interested? - Please skip the poll if you are not interested.

This is a place where a small group can chat with me and provide feedback, suggestions, and spot glitches in order to improve the app. I want it centralized so we can all track what im working on and what is high priority to fix or new features to add! I'll share vids of what im working on and why!

(Feel free to email me at app@thebearessentials.com if you are interested in being one of the first to join)

QUESTION to my friends on here for my next video edit: Do you prefer JUST the answers, straight to the point...or would you like to see the testing? (AKA me getting eaten alive by mosquitos)
Context: I've done a Mosquito Repellant Video (Testing about 20 of them to find which works)

Spoiler: I receive 100+ bites lol and only a few actually work.
