A few days later I got an email from Resend (who I'm using to send emails) that I was almost hitting the max allowed emails in a day. Strange...that's gotta be a lot of users. Did I go viral 🤩

Someone sent me a $5 donation for the YouTube guitar lessons videos I’ve made under my music education business Lightning Lessons

YouTube is so cool because I haven’t made a new video in over two years and people still consistently watch every week.
