Creator's Key Takeaways
We are almost at the 100 million view mark, which uh will be a cool milestone to celebrate.
I got a nasty cut on my foot on the uh, lava rock outside of the Fairmont, Oregon Hotel by the beach there.
It was totally worth it. Um, it was uh, not cheap, but it was great.
I have over a thousand nights at Marriott, which makes me a lifetime titanium member with Marriott.
