As someone else mentioned. It's called growth. Enjoy all that you've accomplished. 👍 Also, you can hear it in your voice. You sound completely happy and at peace.
I really dig this video. I can relate to you John, and your journey in a different way,. I think your why and story telling will keep your world connected to you and all you have going on. The business of entertainment, the life of a business owner that turned life around for the better, and the ability to support employees and family all are lessons so many people would enjoy and more. Keep climbing man, and do you, bc that is what matters. Much love. Jani.
What's happening with you, your decision to change direction; 'that's called growth'. Congratulations young man, do what's best for you and yours. I'm happy for you and good luck as you continue to grow. GOD Bless.
Go get you some chickens! Nothing better for our family and our five acres than a flock of chickens and getting the eggs every morning! Enjoy it Mr. Simmons! Can’t wait to take this ride with you!
John I've been here since I was researching EV EKX speakers and found your review. I think it's great how far you have come and I will be on the look out. Just please be as passionate about your videos as you are about your work .
Dude, I’m pumped for you and happy to go along for the ride and adventure! If you are worried about picking up the camera, maybe mount a few cameras in and around your new shop and if you forget the handheld camera you will still have some content! Congratulations on all your success and personal growth; sounds like you’re in a great place!
Keep up the good work man. I'm here for whatever and will always support. There's more than one lane on the road so having multiple lanes in life is a must. 🙌
I love you John, you've been a HUGE inspiration and example to me as I try to grow my live production business. Knowing you're available to answer questions in emails, your videos, etc., it's been endlessly valuable. You still have a subscriber and someone on your journey with you!
My bro, been with you for a while, have learned a lot and still here! Keep doing you and growing in your life with your family and your faith and we will still be here to support your channel and your business! Love ya bro, keep rocking!
Mr. Simmons, I gotta say that this was a dope intro to a new journey. We should all aspire to this mindset. It's what the dream is all about. So I'm ready. Because at the end of the day it's your name on the channel. LOL!. Looking forward to our new adventures sir. See you in the next one
I’m having the same issue with my channel. I have no idea where my channel is going and I have never known! There are vlogs. Some Dj content, some podcasting. Hell, The most popular video on my channel, I’m not even in it! We’ll be watching my guy!
It’s been a fun journey watching you go from talking about Seismic Audio speakers, to where you are today and going in the future. The whole come up, to starting a family and business just exploding. Looking forward to seeing where else life takes you.
Damn I just found you, really love you showing what matters to you most. So humble and chill. Would of loved to have you as a teacher or a friend. Hopefully life is treating you well, best wishes to you and the family.
Good to see ya back and leveling up big. As far as youtube, do what you want to do on here my man. I know one day I may have to change this channel direction when and if Kay says so. Totally relate though. Hard to keep up with the filming and editing with business booming and the family life.
Hey man, really glad i came across your channel. I’m from a jbl shop on the west coast and im so happy to see such a humanizing face for this industy. Ur just a great dude with nice rigs. Keep it up
New subscriber! I came over from @Nick Spinelli 's channel. He gave you a shoutout and said you need to post more videos, and lo and behold, here's a brand new video! 😁👍 Best of luck to you with your shop and business!! I'm excited for you!
I am along for the ride where ever it may be you have been my idle for many year John congratulations for your growth and i can’t wait to see what you have in store!
You've pretty much echoed how I feel about my life and my career. Especially being a fellow live production professional you and I both know this biz is rough and sometimes you just gotta take it easy and do you 😎 I'm excited for ya John and can't wait to see what you have coming down the pipeline!
John I've followed you for a couple of years now. I watched as you went from working out of a storage unit, to your office space, from DJing to running a full fledged sound company and you've been a total inspiration to me. I've bought gear based on recommendations you gave and your wisdom and even handedness about your experiences is much appreciated. I'm happy to see you branch out both in your life and channel and continue to look forward to what you post in the future regardless of the topic. You are an inspiration and you have made a difference in people's lives both directly and here on RU-vid. Keep fighting the good fight.
Good for u bro. Life changes with a bigger family. After having a kid, I raised my prices drastically and if I don’t get hired due to price, that’s more time with the fam. Be blessed
My Brother, My Brother. Allow yourself the freedom to make decisions that incorporate your transition to a new stage in your life. DJing will always have a sweet spot in your life. But now you are seeing that there are other things important in your life - family and friends is important. Please know that we love the technical DJ and production content, but we love your authenticity. As a Black man, I have to support you in any way I can. Live your life brother!!
I came for the DJ content and through that, got to see a bit of who you are and witness the growth of your family. I'm sticking around. I'll consume the content that interests me and I'll skip what doesn't. You aren't going to lose this subscriber. As your content changes, you may lose some subscribers, buy I suspect you will attract new audiences, too. Keep at it. No need to apologize. I would be interested in understanding more about your company vision and strategy for moving forward. What is your roadmap? How are you thinking about continuing to grow it?
It’s crazy how everyone in the comments feel the same way about John, he’s been a great teacher in one way or another and has our respect and support I think it’s that he is just authentic and honest and humble
Been with you since the seismic review... I'm not a dj just a fan of good people with great views on life! Congrats on your success and thanks for sayin hello again!
Congratulations on all your growth! I'm looking forward to the same... since I lost my day job in October, I am now a full-time entrepreneur. So far, so good!
Bruh as a sound engineer from the ole school for Sugar Hill,Cameo,Funky 4-1 more you are a blessing to me…I have got you on my lists to watch I left you alone up intill recently when I want to see what it will take to build a portable sound system
I ran into your videos doing research on those thrash mackies just for extra wedges and it led me to all your other videos from 2017😂😂😂after my gigs I’ll come and watch all your journeys
Hi john - i grew up in the car business and love working on cars etc. I’m djing weddings and mobile gigs - maybe 15-20 events a year. I used to play drums for 11 years too. Ill keep following you for sure
Looking forward too it man! I'm a loader, stagehand/gear tech and all-round flunkie for a mid sized production company here in NW Florida. But above all, I'm jyst a good ol country boy like yourself. I loom forward to any content you feel like slingin' out. I don't care if you're flying trusses for lights and line array. Or floating jugs for catfish... I'll enjoy it either way.
What a great dude! I ran across John "DJ Woo Pig" Simmons on a 2019 video; I live right next door in Missouri. Anyway, I was watching a video from 2019 because I was looking for a power pack for my keyboard/amp rig. I made the decision to sub right away. In that video he was timing how long he could run his rig on a particular power pack, and he showed us the clock on his phone to prove how long the pack lasted. He spontaneously and unconsciously took a moment to complement his wife who was pictured with him on the background of his phone. Its obvious he works his ass of to take care of his family; I'd be willing to bet, without even knowing her, that his wife would take time out when he wasn't around to give him the same kind of impromptu affection. Unfortunately my marriage didn't work out other than 3 beautiful children that we both love very much. . . we are still friends and still joke with each other from time to time. I told her recently she was the best ex-wife a guy could have; she said thanks.....I...think?? LOL I'll definitely be looking forward to getting alerts when this guy posts new comments. Great work John!!
John That is one reason a long time ago I stopped making videos.. My wife asked you ever coming out of the office to spend time with me. The business almost cost me my happiness.. I am now finally in a good place all around.. Your growing in your later years and that's good... Keep up the work and you got a fan till the end!!!!!!!!
Bro without the house company your already rich. You have something that's priceless. Your blessed more than you know. No worldly items can compare to family. Beautiful wife & son. Do what makes u happy in life and he'll bless u with the riches of life ✨️
You know John I’ve been with you for a about 2 years, I’ve learned a ton from you. While I’m in my last year of high school, I do some major theater productions where I work on lighting and audio. A lot of the stuff I’ve learned, I’ve learned from you. I’ve got to say, you have definitely earned where you are now. And I can guarantee that I will still be with you, man stuff is cool, I’d love to see you make some vids where you work on cars. And I’d also love to see what you plan to do with your new shop space. I’m excited to be going to college next year for a bachelors in electrical engineering, and a minor in theater technology. I really would love to be a part of designing some new products for the live entertainment industry.
All good man keep posting on here I’m still looking 👍🏽 even my channel has changed from all DJ related things years ago to RC planes, drones & astronomy 😉
That's growth for ya John. To be perfectly honest with you; I'm amazed you found the time to do the content you did do with all you have going on with family, the business and everything else. I had thought about starting a RU-vid channel, but with a full time job, a family and a business; I just don't have the time to do it, certainly not well. People who are interested in what I do will have to make do with what I can post on Instagram (I follow you there too), or they can come to the events. Which are coming in thick and fast now people are relatively free to roam again. Got 9 dates booked in June so far, and all are festivals except one. I'm hoping I can be doing this full time in the next couple of years. Looking forward to the cool shit that's coming. 👍
Hello sir we understand this is your Channel but you don't have to explain or give us any reason why you're changing your channel and you don't owe anybody any explanation just do your thing and grow and we will grow right along with you sir. One love to you and your family, now let the journey begin.
Seen this shit before people forget the shoulder they rode to the top. And its not hate. I watched the guy for long time and i dont dj or am in the music bizz. Came to see whats new amd saw this. I get that people change and grow but the. Change the channel dont hang on to the past if u saying ur moving on to bigger things burn the bridge.
