We absolutely have to shout out Mr @Houston Bernard! This man has been on a tear. 🔥 - won not one but TWO big awards in the country music space in the last month (try watching this without getting emotional) - posts every video he makes, welcoming brutally honest feedback, then actually uses that feedback - has stayed consistent in his posting despite a hectic schedule - increased his view count by 21% and watch time by 38% since joining Grindstone - won the last TWO Grindstone Games (will anyone dethrone this man??) BIG congrats man. Super glad you're part of this community. 😊 ••• PS—every month we're going to have a new theme, question, challenge, or prompt. This month is a two-part question: 1. What are you doing that you know doesn't work? 2. What are you NOT doing that you know works?

Hey guys, I just uploaded a documentary style video that I always wanted to make, learning how to fly FPV drones. All feedback is welcome 🙏🏼

Huge shoutout to @Scott Clampet. 😎 In his first few months here in Grindstone, he: - grew his Instagram following by 33% - got the blue checkmark (verified on Instagram) - just did his first stream The stream was a bit laggy and clunky on his van's wifi. But I attended for ~2 hours while finishing some work at the end of the night. It was awesome to listen to him build great songs from scratch. He was funny. Shouted out all viewers and comments in intense reverb and auto-tune. Excited to see your continued growth my man! 🥳

Hey all. I'm in Thailand and not sure if I have food poisoning or what. But let's just say my stomach has seen better days. Going to cancel the call today. See you soon! ✌️

It may not seem like much, but with my goal of being 2 videos per week, I did record a bunch in one day, but the editing makes it take a long time to get it done. I ran out of Vids, so I powered through and recorded 9 vis in one day. I Do a song and story, I sing the song and tell the story about why I wrote it or where it came from, what it means to me etc. The win is, yesterday I recorded 9 songs. And Im making plans for more projects, I figure the goal is to be consistent and keep improving. Thanks for reading.
