So, Here's What's Happened...

Well, it's been a while since I last put out a blog post. It's been just around a year now, so I figured it was time to check back in and say hello! Here are some updates that might interest you:

1. Gouda LLC has relocated! After a little over a year of living in New London, Connecticut, I have relocated back to my home state of Florida and brought the company with me. This time, I'm living in my birth city of Tampa:

2. Running Gouda LLC is my full-time job. Just like any other industry, running a company takes a lot of time and energy, and so I'm devoting well over 40 hours per week to grow this company. While I know I haven't been the most active on here, I still see all of your messages, Instagram comments, and support. I am super grateful for it all, and I want to make sure I provide you guys with the best, most consistent (I'm working on it!) content that I possibly can!

3. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with some pretty big Instagram pages! During my brief visit to Texas, I was able to capture some interesting drone hyperlapses of downtown Fort Worth and of downtown Dallas. For these, I was able to collaborate on Instagram posts with travel agencies from both cities. Here's the one from Fort Worth:

The one I made with the Dallas travel agency was especially exciting because I got to try out some new AI technology. Here's the Dallas one:

So, those were pretty exciting and fun to work on!

4. I have brought on another person to help me shoot! While she isn't a full-time employee of Gouda LLC quite just yet, she helps me out on some of the bigger projects that I am working on. As we take on more projects (and more complex ones), she'll most likely be joining me full-time as one of my first employees. This is super exciting stuff for me and for my company, as I haven't been to the point of hiring people yet.

5. I've added some new pieces of tech onto my fleet. Since living in Connecticut, I've added quite a bit of gear into my arsenal, including two new FPV drones. They've both already seen some commercial use, and I hope to make a lot more content with them soon!

6. The blog posts will be coming back! Hopefully, they are here to stay this time. I have struggles a lot with consistency with these, but hopefully with my new content strategy I will be able to stay consistent and continue creating more content. In addition to these blog posts, I will be sending a weekly newsletter. It will be similar to the one I used to have, with a brief synopsis of the articles with links, and maybe some other updates to keep you all in the loop.

Thank you so all so much for sticking with me! I am super grateful for your continued support and I'm excited for all that there is to come!
