I had high hopes for new products & software at NAB… Maybe a little too high.

There were so may amazing products at NAB…but what about something that was truly 🤯

Not gonna lie…

The products showcased at NAB were a little underwhelming.

But many of those products didn’t pertain to me. While NAB was all parts impressive and spectacular, I was disappointed that I didn’t see products, software, or services that would have a huge impact on my own content creation and filmmaking.

And of course NAB’s intended audience isn’t entirely “YouTube Creators”, but I still had high hopes for the companies that are wanting content creators to use their products on their channels.

Did I have a great time at NAB? Absolutely.

I was fortunate to attend with friends and fellow YouTubers Josh Sattin, Brandon Talbot, Tyler Edwards, Dylan Bates and Doc Rock.
