Early Access | The Other Side of Tokyo 2020

Here's the latest video. I could have kept adding to it but hey - it's the weekend and I need some rest. Thank you for waiting for this and I promise the next video will be coming much sooner! Leave me a comment on the video :) Hope you like it? This is made more for us, a memory of a place in time that was pretty rough but the games went on and somehow so did we all in Tokyo. I know you couldn't make it but maybe this episode brings you a little closer to Tokyo. I really appreciate it! -john...

Leo’s Olympic Moment 🎌🥇

Tokyo 2020 has officially ended and I’m editing the final scenes of an edited video on living through the games as a resident of the host city — before taking the rings away, we had to get a family shot. Leo slept through almost all the photos except a few from this angle ☝️ born during a pandemic and an Olympic year in the host city! The games were disappointing to me as a resident and someone who’s been looking forward to this since 2007, but we made the most of it and can move on...
