00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:08,719
two years ago I took my unboxing YouTube channel hired two guys that I've been

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:12,480
working with for a little while awesome guys Luke and edel and founded lonus

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,039
Media Group with the objective of creating a company that really cares

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:21,760
about the well-being of its employees in the early days things were

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:26,439
rough we worked endlessly we didn't sleep and between the benchmarking rigs

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,200
workstations and all our filming sets being in my garage working conditions

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:36,640
were not ideal and adding Brandon to the staff a few months in didn't help

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,840
matters either so after only 6 months

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:45,280
we've had to move our headquarters into an entire house complete with kitchen

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,280
thanks off awful and I mean given that

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:52,879
the 5-year outlook for lius Media Group was six to eight employees this seemed

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,039
like a ton of space then we added Taran

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:58,039
how you doing buddy what are you doing to help with fast as possible as well as

14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,480
on the video editing side we added Nick here to help on the vendor and you know

15
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:06,080
sponsor relationship side of things you're doing a great job buddy yeah just

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:10,960
like that man then we realized we needed more video editing and more filming so

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:16,600
we added Burl and now here we are all of a sudden who who wo seven employees and

18
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:20,000
if Luke and I are going to be able to keep up on the content side we're going

19
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,759
to need another couple to help with scripting and benchmarking before much

20
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,560
longer so it's moving time again but this time we want to do it

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:35,560
properly in instead of moving into a place again with the intention of

22
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,799
repurposing one of the bathrooms as a server room we want somewhere that we

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,840
can really grow into as we continue to evolve lonus Tech tips ramp up

24
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:47,960
production on Techquickie reinvigorate Channel Super Fun and explore some of

25
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:53,719
the other amazing content ideas that we've been itching to try out least I

26
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,719
think it's what that itch

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,200
is now you might be asking yourself why should I help with this to which I would

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,880
respond good question and honest we're only asking because we want to take

29
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:10,360
things to the next level rise to new challenges and Elevate our game faster

30
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,800
than we'd otherwise be able to afford to and we figured if that's something you

31
00:02:11,959 --> 00:02:16,560
guys wanted to see maybe you'd be willing to help us

32
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:24,400

33
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,360
have dealt with thank you ages ago if

34
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,560
we' had the space and the money like what's up with us filming stuff in the

35
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,840
kitchen instead of having a nice set for review

36
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,959
