I got some sad news to share with you. I will be shutting down The Show Starts Now streaming service. The online video library subscription service didn't get the traction needed to make this venture profitable, so I'm having to make a pivot. I know not every business succeeds, but I am proud that I did try.

As for what I will be doing next, I hope you continue to follow me in my journey. I plan to do a more formal announcement next month of what's coming.

Thank you for your support!
