Yes, I know—subscriber counts can be a bit of a vanity metric.

But for me, this one marks something more meaningful: 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, sharing what I know, and helping busy professionals feel more confident using Microsoft 365.

Sure, there are channels in this space with 𝟭𝗠+ 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀, and that’s incredible. But this milestone is mine, and I’m celebrating it.

Thank you to everyone who’s joined me for the tips, the shortcuts, the “wait… I didn’t know that!” moments.🩵

Let’s keep learning. 🚀

What really excites me is knowing that tons of folks out there are saving time and learning how to master Microsoft applications like a pro, all thanks to my videos. 🤓💻

Sure, there are talented and amazing creators in my field (many of whom I recommend) with individual videos racking up millions of views and channels with subscribers in the millions, but you know what? I’d rather focus on the progress I’ve made and the unique perspective I bring to the conversation.

And I get a kick out of the positive feedback that keeps me creating videos, like this email from last week: “Your video lessons are outstanding! Super easy to follow, packed with info, and seriously, a lifesaver.”
Cheers to making software less confusing, one video at a time! 🎉
