🚐 MY NEXT CHAPTER...Carpe Diem
They say change is the only constant in life and I firmly believe that. I'm also a big believer in living life to the fullest and not waiting on doing those things you've always dreamed of doing. This next step is me doing exactly that.
-My wife and I are under contract on selling our house, we will be out by August 1st provided the final steps go smoothly.
-LATER TODAY! My Dad and I are heading to Virginia later this morning to pick up a skoolie bus conversion to turn into a traveling Youtube studio. AHHH!!! It's been a dream of mine to do this for years, I can't believe it's happening TODAY!
-My wife and I will begin our next chapter of traveling America to find our next home base, attending live music shows, doing reviews from the road, and reacting to your requests along the way! AHHH!
*More about all of this at the bottom of this email, but first, I have something really exciting I've been working SUPER HARD ON to make all of your lives easier in the community.
🚨POSSIBLE SCHEDULE CHANGE
(I'm filming this morning before we go, and I'll try to film Tuesdays content after we drive back, but thank you for being patient with me if Tuesdays content is pushed back a couple days 🙏. I'm not sure how I'll feel after this long couple days of driving.)
THE NEW WAY TO REQUEST CONTENT
As you likely know, we have grown so much as a community that my old method of having you all comment on a monthly posts has become challenging to say the least.
So I decided to get some help with building a solution, and I'm BEYOND EXCITED to say that it works! A few community members have been beta testing it with me and have helped me tweak it to be far more functional than I expected at launch. THANK YOU SO MUCH to those of you that helped out!
🏆NO MORE MONTHLY SONG REQUEST POSTS! Use this webpage/app instead...STARTING NOW! 👇
https://requests.timwelchmusic.com
(💥all of your current and past requests have been migrated to this new webpage/app, simply login with your PATREON account.)
HOW IT WORKS👇 Should be pretty straight forward.
-login with you PATREON account
-claim the past content request you made when the prompt pops up.
-Explore the tabs, sort by genre to find your preferred content to uptick with hearts, and start requesting!
-It updates IN REAL TIME and you get notified when I've reacted to one of your songs as well as when someone upticks one of your requests!
- Mobile: open in Safari/Chrome if login stalls. Save the webpage to your homescreen so it functions like an app on your phone.
-FREE MEMBERS: You'll be able to observe the real time voting and requesting on the app but you need to be a paying member to participate.
🥳NO MORE SCROLLING THROUGH HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS ON A PATREON POST! 🎉
🎬Watch the video attached to this post for more info, but it should be pretty intuitive. PLEASE leave comments on this post if you have any issues so I can bounce them over to my crew to for possible updates.
MORE NEXT CHAPTER STUFF
There are lots of possible futures my wife and I are considering. She's been a middle school English teacher in Manhattan for almost 20 years and is retiring early to come work with me.
Once I get the skoolie conversion bus up here, I'll be working with a builder to convert the van into a filming space so I have a consistent dedicated way to shoot content no matter where we decide to stay. We hope to have it ready to go by August 1.
We don't have set plans on where we will be heading next exactly, but we do have a general trajectory of places we'd like to check out.
MY WIFE'S INJURY
My wife injured her back working out in December and is still recovering from 2 annular tears in her spine, so we may hang out in the Tri-state area for a couple more months before we hit the road. We found her a great physical therapist here that we'd love to have her work with a bit more, but we think he could work with her from the road remotely. If that's possible, we might leave sooner.
THE TENTATIVE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS
I'm stepping back from full-time teaching, I'll still keep some time to work with my clients and future clients from the road online, but most of my time will be dedicated to content creation now. I have a wonderful small team that is slowly getting up and running to help me more as we grow.
Once we are done in the Tri-state area, we will likely head down to Asheville, North Carolina first, then to Nashville, Tennessee, and then down to Austin, Texas. The current idea is that we would become residents in a no tax state like Texas, and get out of New Jersey.
Once we've traveled the states a bit and have residency in a no tax state, we are considering traveling abroad while reacting and filming the whole way. It's our dream to slow travel around Asia and Europe to start, but we are really open to traveling the world.
And I am VERY EXCITED to bring you along with us!
💥We are even considering starting a second channel, more of a vlog style channel to share about our adventures!
Anyway, there's so much more to this, but I'll leave it there.
I am having such a blast doing this new type of work with you all. It's amazing how much my life has changed in two years, and it's largely because of the support of all of you. NONE of this would be possible if it wasn't for you supporting me here on PATREON, I can't thank you enough. 🥹
I certainly didn't imagine all of this would be happening by now when I did my first Youtube reaction June 13th 2024.
Wow, what a ride! So much more to come, and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING ME! 🙏
Cheers,
Tim

I honestly love your channel! Something that is always intrigued me is “why do people react the way they do for certain types of music?”, and seeing you explaining just that was so exciting. I see myself being subscribed for a long time, can’t wait!!
Amazing work on the requests app, it's going to help you and your team manage those much more efficiently! I wish you the best with your new adventure as well, it sounds really exciting! I hope your wife's injury heals promptly :)
I can't find the Discord link anywhere to join! If anyone knows, please link it for me? That's a lot going on, Tim~ Good luck with the move. I am going through it as well - I am a first-time house owner - really a dream come true. Can't wait to see more of your reviews, especially Evan and Enhypen's.
https://discord.gg/ZwWzVE84wW You can always find the discord links under the newest bundles of Tim.
Sounds like a lot of great possibilities for you guys
Congratulations Tim! If you started a vlog channel I would definitely follow along! Also the song requester is really nice.
Best wishes to your new adventure! If you plan to have a visit to China in the future, I am very happy to provide you some basic ideas and suggestions.
So excited for the both of you!
So exciting! It'll be fun to see videos on the road!
This all sounds awesome! Very happy you're chasing your dreams! Congrats, man!
Hey Tim, I like the ease of use on the new app version. Just a question one of my requests that got ported over. Seems that the artist name was changed and I lost a couple of likes. The song was from the group Walkure, I did mention in the description that the main idol singing in the song was basically doing a solo, maybe that is the reason?
I’ll check
Congratulations on your future adventures. Expansion is so exciting! Love the new request form page since I tend to forget to include the genre when making my request. And I’m psyched about the Bundle Study option because I have ideas. muhahaha…
Good luck with all the new stuff. Summer in Michigan is lovely. If you haven’t seen the Great Lakes, now through the fall colors is the best time.
Congratulations Tim. That all sounds so exciting for you
Slightly confused about the month roll over. Should we recomend the same thing again each month to get more hearts or is the point that we don't have to?
Great question, let me check that with the dev team. I believe you can re-request the same song once we move onto a new month so you can accumulate more hearts in the fresh month.
Thank you, would it be possible to add information to your own request? I requested Mir//or by Ayunda Risu and today she has added two versions of the song where the duet parts are separerad. It would be a important resource if the reaction is done, why would be obvious when listening to the original.
On the website you can add notes to your own requests
Exciting news! I've never made a request before, but now I might have to with the app. It's really cool!
Good luck on your new adventures Tim! Also the app seems great!
incredible plans ahead! Hope everything goes smoothly for you both! Excited to come along with you, I'd love a vlog channel! Btw, I already requested a couple of songs through the app, it's really easy to use!
So exciting!
This will be a great adventure! Lots of new things to discover and it will be a lot of fun to watch for us all
This is an amazing thing . Wow !!! Congratulations
Congratulations tim
Oh wow — these are some of the coolest plans I've ever heard! Congratulations, and kudos on the new request site. Well done, you 👏🥳
So excited for you this sounds like such an adventure!!!
