The silly wild west intro was an idea that popped into my head late at night, and so instead of finding some copyright-free music that was "good enough" for it, I made it. Well, my friend Tim Yona on the guitar, and me on the mixing + mastering and sounds effects. More details on that coming soon in my newsletter (join here https://www.taykbell.com/newsletters/the-bell-brief/subscribe )

Had so much fun making this video. This New York City apartment has really become my home, and I'm thrilled to share it virtually with so many of you. I can confidently say my outdoor/terrace time has increased 10 fold since I finished this transformation. Drop a comment on what your favorite change was, I'll be responding! 😊
