    I found your videos last year and watched them on repeat as I was designing my space. We've been up and running for 8 months!!! I'm excited about the studio owner community. Looking forward to connecting with you all. Thanks for what you've done and will continue to do!

  • @IamMannyLaws
    Honestly, I came across your channel and videos about a month ago as I was researching about doing a video podcast studio myself. Having watched your previous videos and seeing the growth to now, you’ve definitely inspired me even more. I will definitely be joining that waiting list. Much appreciated for sharing.
  • @AaronFigueroa1
    Needed this! I just started haven’t my first customer yet but im excited
  • @ANDJVisuals
    Funny we got "almost" same logo but backwards.. Anyways I'm subbed and your video came across because I'm been doing a podcast for my friends and wanna build a studio for rental as well as photo/video editing "My office". great content and very helpful. Thank you man!
  • @dickstarrbuck
    I saw your studio on the Squid Game Challenge interviews! Thank you for making an update. You were one of the inspirations when I started my studio. I have a dream of owning an entire building and shooting in multirooms, but i had the HARDEST time finding a location at my price point. So I'm glad to hear you're doing well, I'm still in the design phase, ready to move into marketing this or next month.
  • @CFB-Pod
    Thanks a bunch, Tom. This is great stuff. Very informative and helpful
  • @Ozeal
    Love that you're doing this brother. A much-needed space for up and coming studio operators and creators. Joined the waiting list! Cheers!
  • @BrainStemStudios
    I found this channel while we were revamping our own podcast studio, and we LOVE the transparency and breakdowns of everything 🙌🏼
  • @zekerempel
    Love the videos, you and Omar Eltakrori were some of the individuals inspiring me to start my podcast studio about a year ago here in Phoenix. Jump to now and owning my own business has changed my life, thanks!
  • @AaronFigueroa1
    Bay Area owner here!! Would love to be apart of the community i signed up 🎉for
  • Thanks for your vidéos, I loved them ! I’m building a podcast studio in France (Toulouse, southwest) and your advices are precious. For my first cameras set up I’m going with Panasonic GH5. I know sony has better autofocus, but with the price of one camera, I can buy 4 GH5. What do you think about this choice ? (And I know lightning and sound are more important 😂)
  • @JohnnieVibes
    Thanks for making these. Curious where I can find the black trapezoid shaped acoustic panels in the opening scenes of this video. They look great!
