HELLO WORLD — The Beginning of a Much Bigger Story

So… apparently I’m writing a blog now.

If you’ve followed us for any amount of time, you’re probably thinking,

“Samantha, don’t you already have enough going on?”

And honestly? Absolutely not. Bring on the chaos.

Anyway — hello.

Welcome.

Grab a coffee, or a snack, or one of those little granola bars you pretend is a meal.

This is where the real story starts.

Where We Were (AKA: The 2019 Era of Pure Madness)

Back in 2019, I had no idea what we were building.

Gordon was building decks.

I was building… sanity? Systems? Something like that.

What started as “Let’s post a few videos” somehow three years later turned into:

  • over a million followers
  • a full-blown media company
  • sponsorship’s from companies I used to be too scared to email
  • events, competitions, build-offs, and whatever else we’ve accidentally invented along the way

Snowballed is an understatement.

Avalanched feels closer.

One moment we were filming in a backyard with one camera.

The next minute we had Chuck throwing out one-liners, Cameron editing ten videos at once, Gordon teaching the internet how to hold a hammer, and me running a company that somehow became… a thing.

Where We Are Now

Today, we run Bully Media Inc., a full media company that does everything from YouTube competitions to sponsored content to full-scale productions that somehow always involve sawdust.

I say “we,” because this entire operation is a team effort:

  • Gordon – The on-camera chaos generator, builder, storyteller, and sometimes the reason I need Advil.
  • Chuck – Our resident comedian/content machine.
  • Cameron – The editor who somehow turns 40 hours of footage into something people actually want to watch.
  • Shannon – Making sure we don’t miss any deliverables, all our contracts are up to date and TRYING to keep the competition series on some sort of schedule
  • Me – The one running the business, organizing the circus, and pretending I don’t have 47 tabs open at all times.

We’re a little dysfunctional, but it works.

Somehow.

Why This Blog Exists

Here’s the thing: social media doesn’t always show the real stuff.

This blog will.

The plan?

Everything. Literally everything.

  • The behind-the-scenes
  • The travel
  • The construction stories
  • The business stuff
  • The things we get right
  • The things we absolutely do NOT get right
  • The moments where we laugh
  • The moments where we nearly throw our phones across the room
  • The things Gordon says off-camera that probably shouldn’t be public but… here we are

This isn’t just an update feed.

This is the start of a much bigger story — the one we’re still writing, the one no one sees on Instagram or YouTube.

And honestly? I think it’s going to be fun.

What’s Next

This is just the “Hello World” moment.

The very beginning.

You’ll hear from me the most, but Gordon, Chuck and Cameron (yes, all of them, willingly) will be dropping their own posts from time to time — so buckle up for whatever that ends up looking like.

If you’re here, welcome to the chaos.

Welcome to the journey.

Welcome to the story behind everything we do.

Let’s see where this goes.
