Thank You for 1M Subscribers

I just hit 1 million subscribers today. I posted my first video 720 days ago. I was a fresh college grad who had moved from Illinois to Salt Lake City, and I had no idea what I was in for. I remember filming with a $30 webcam and no microphone. People in the comments were begging me to upgrade both. I even kept a towel under my keyboard so you wouldn’t hear me banging on the desk when I typed. Those early videos were rough, but people still watched. That meant the world to me. Since then, I've had some of my lowest lows and some of my highest highs. I've learned so much, met people I'm so grateful to know, and made plenty of mistakes along the way. Every day feels like a new adventure. I get to wake up excited to work, learn something new, and share it with people who are figuring things out alongside me. I feel really lucky to call that my job. To my parents, thank you for always being in my corner. Just knowing I have your support is all I really need. Jon Morrow, thank you for being the first person to join the team, becoming a mentor to me, and helping me figure out who I want to be. Yash Chauhan, you’ve been here since around 8,000 subscribers. Thank you for caring so much about this community long before it was ever your job. To my family and friends, thank you for being there through all of it. To the entire AIS team, I appreciate you all more than you know. And to everyone who's spent part of their day watching my videos, thank you. Hearing that something I shared helped you build something or take a chance on yourself makes my day. I still have so, so much to learn and so much growing to do. I know there are plenty more mistakes ahead, too. But I'm excited to wake up tomorrow, see what the day throws at me, and try to tackle it as best as I can. Thank you for being part of these past two years. - Nate
