The content of his rants is fine but I don't care for his presentation or style in the car. He doesn't engage the camera with any kind of excitement but comes off rather dull. He doesn't make proper eye contact with the camera which means he's not trying to engage his audience or show that he appreciates those who are tuning in to listen to him. He has a dull charisma and a rather grating voice. It kind of reminds me of a bunch of old cigarette butts in an ashtray.
In summary, I just can't endure him because he comes off as uncaring and rather annoying.
Now with that said, I would love to see the same kind of presentation given by Kerry Shirts. That would be fun. Popcorn would be popping.
Even more so, if I were to do them those presentations would go viral and cause quite a stir. But I don't want to. At least not now.

He'd be a lot easier to follow if you posted a link to his YouTube channel.
Hint, hint.

His most popular video is the one in his car, telling his story. I just finished watching it.
Have spent more than a decade in the investment business.
His point about the church not disclosing material facts to new members is just huge.
LDS, Inc. is very much like a business selling shares to investors. Tithing... is an investment of money now in exchange for the promise of something greater in the future. The very definition of an equity investment.
It does not matter if the product being sold helps you live a happy life or have meaningful experiences. If there are material facts or material risk factors, those have to be disclosed clearly and thoroughly to investors.
Mentioning a material fact in an obscure place 40 years ago does not count as fair disclosure.
IF the essays are the church's effort at fair disclosure, then those documents should be presented to all new members along with their free Book of Mormon before baptism.

Being severely technically challenged- I guessed wrongly the Apple II E
was simply a fad- I have paid the price.
The guy is 444age on You Tube and has over 300 videos in 15 months. Guess he is living in his car because he has no time but to hammer the
