Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Our First Video

Hi there and welcome to our first video. We are Deb & Matt. This video footage was intended to be just for some testing, but as a raw first take we loved it when we watched it and is keeping with taking you on the journey from the beginning. The video quality isn't perfect, but neither is a rose until it blooms. The audio isn’t the greatest. But for a first run that’s ok. We know where we went wrong. It is all learning! We are starting a journey setting up a new business together. We have chosen the #kajabi platform to help us launch. Flashy “expert” videos are great (trust us we have been watching plenty) but this is your chance to learn as we learn. If you haven’t heard about Kajabi as an online platform follow this link to check it out at https://app.kajabi.com/r/GzeU6QUq Be sure to subscribe! **Affiliate links disclaimer** As we go on our journey we may post the occasional affiliate link, which means we may earn a small commission. It helps us and we appreciate if you do click through, but you can always just use your favourite search engine and find the product or service that way too.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: “Confidential Discussions” 👀 Royal Caribbean’s BIG Plans for Australia?

We’re currently sailing on Anthem of the Seas and had the opportunity to ask a question during the Captain’s Corner… and the answer has us thinking 🤔

After mentioning he had recently visited Lelepa, the Captain spoke about “confidential discussions” regarding year-round cruising in Australia — and even hinted at the possibility of bigger ships.
