Our firm began publishing videos on the Debt Coach Silverthorn YouTube channel in late February of this year.  You can watch these videos on the Videos webpage on this website.  These videos cover a variety of topics including consumer debt, the Canadian collection industry, the Canadian debt relief industry, and specific ways that individuals could eliminate their debt--often at huge discounts.

​

In mid-March of this year, several individuals encouraged me to create more YouTube videos with higher production values than I could achieve utilizing Doodly, a $69.00 piece of video software.  Don't get me wrong, I love working with Doodly!  It is a wonderful software program for creating videos but you wouldn't use it to create a television commercial.

​

These "fans" suggested that I produce videos addressing various personal finance issues--with much higher-production values--by hiring a freelance videographer and several production professionals.  I was flattered when I was encouraged to produce these videos but I was in no financial position to do so.  These fans were asking me to spend significant sums of money producing YouTube videos that could potentially help hundreds of thousands of Canadians avoid making poor decisions when it comes to handling creditors, collection agencies, and choosing the optimal debt relief response given their unique debt situation.

​

I decided to accept this challenge and to begin this journey but it would be absolutely necessary for me to seek the public's assistance in financing the production of these YouTube videos.  Accordingly, on March 19th I launched a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign.   My goal was to raise $10K within 90 days.
