I love how you edit the videos, the transitions, sound effects, and graphics really hold my attention!

I like that you don't skip/shorten down the information needed; you explain it all of the way through (I don't mind longer videos if the information can be helpful). I've watched several other content creators that forget that we don't know what we don't know (it may be common knowledge to someone that does that task a lot but not to us). Thanks, as I can always fast-forward if I feel I already know some of the content.

[MrChandon]

Always found your content so much easier to digest, plus much more in-depth compared to others.
Keep up the great work mate!

Great video, Mike! Thanks for sharing your experience and roadmap 🧡☁✨

The tangent to the Security specialty is really a new and valuable insight, I think I'll do just that. I'm well on my way to the SAA, hoping to take the test next month.
And again, I really agree with the Practitioner advice. 🌟

[VicMansaMusa]

I say go for the solutions architect associate then you can go back and easily pass the practitioner if needed. I agree with going straight to security after the associates, actually the professional can be the last ones you take b
