Team Update - A Farewell to Javed!
Hey folks,
Javed, or better known as Good Blood on the channel, is heading off to his next adventure! He was offered a job opportunity he couldn't refuse and is leaving Second Wind to pursue it and continue on his professional career path.
While you may not have seen much of Javed's face on the channel, he was instrumental in getting Second Wind off the ground. Javed and I worked together through the early nights after my firing to get the branding ready for Second Wind in record time.
He was also the editor for our excellent Animal Well doc, the Adventure is Nigh intros, did a ton of work for Lost & Found and so much more. When I chased him down after seeing his work on his own YouTube channel, I was ecstatic that he decided to take a chance on me and the team.
Without his work, we wouldn't have been able to launch as quickly as we did and look professional while doing it. I'm forever grateful that Javed decided to join us when he did and I'm so excited for him and the opportunity he's been offered.
He's an immensely talented creator and our whole team is lucky to have gotten to work together with him and we all wish him well. He's also left a little video message for the community to say goodbye himself.
From the whole team at Second Wind, we wish Javed the best of luck in his next adventure!

Good luck Javed! Go for it!!
So long Javed! Thanks for all and good luck in your future endeavours!
Sad, but in a good way. I think I'll add a few thoughts on the Discord (just so I can link to videos), but damn if Javed isn't an integral part of the 2W DNA Good blood, indeed. Best of blood, you might say, and best of luck in your future career, man! Really, you were a true gift. Hope I might stumble upon some of that work of yours in the future!
Sad to read, but for all the right reasons, so happy for him. Good onya, mate.
Best of luck, man. Thanks for all your work.
Wish you well on your new journey sir!
Good luck, best wishes, you will be missed. Feel free to pop in from time to time =)
Sorry to see you go! Your animation work is very good.
Your work is amazing and you deserve all the best. What you did to provide a space for our community to continue to thrive is worth more than can ever be said!
Best of luck Javed! I love all the Second Wind folk and hope your new position makes you happy & gives you wealth beyond dreams of avarice!
Bravo and farewell! Thanks for your work, Javed!
Thank you for all your amazing work and wishing you the best for your new horizon!
Thank you, Javed, for all the beautiful work and good luck in your next adventures!
Mate, see ya round. You're chockers with skill already, and everything you make is a beauty.
I really appreciate all the work Javed has done, watching the "How I Designed Second Wind's Branding" was incredibly insightful and it showed how much thought and care was put into things that most people might not even pay attention to. While I probably won't know every little design or edit that I loved while he worked here, hard to just tell by watching at this point, I can imagine his work undoubtable was some of my favorites. If you haven't watched "How I Designed Second Wind's Branding", then you are missing out everyone. Best wishes and your voice and talent will not be forgotten. Hope the new career does amazing things for you!
Best of luck to this guy - selfishly, my only hope is that Adventure Is Nigh isn鈥檛 impacted going forward 馃槄
Best of luck. Your work has been truly appreciated and will of course do well for you in the future!
Thank you for all your amazing work, Javed, and all the luck and well-wishes going forward!
Best of luck Javed. We may not have seen much of your face, but we see and love your work every day at Second Wind.
Good luck, wish you all the best!
Best of luck, Javed! May your future opportunities be bright! And if not, come on back and we'll gossip about how crap they were.
For an independent channel, the Second Wind branding is so clean and impressive (and the video behind its creation was real cool), so props to Javed and good luck
Love a happy goodbye 馃挌

Good luck Javed! You'll be missed, it's the behind the scenes crew that does so much important work no one knows about. Losing a part of that important team always hurts but you helped get Second Wind to a great place. Thank you for all you did to get Second Wind up and running.

The branding video you guys released ages ago was really interesting and impressive. Good luck going forward, to Javed and SW.
