For five year now, I've a made a thank you video recapping the year prior to my birthday on November 14th 2024. The year never really brings what you expect, and I found myself in very seedy places, but thankfully, I had amazing people in my corner that got me through it.
Much love to you all and let's hope 2025 is the one!

New documentary alert! I followed a suspicious Craigslist post to a group selling controversial Trump merchandise.
A report on a fatal stabbing at the Pershing Square Metro station and a story of when Elvis Leon disarmed a knife-wielding homeless man.
Thank you for all the birthday love! I have too many people to thank but I'll start with the people I mention in the video. Much love to my family, my niece Isabel for being the first to message me, Diego for being the last to post on my wall (at the time of filming), the Guitar Center video crew, and Dillon.
My birthday weekend is always tough because it lands on Veterans Day, the anniversary date of when I returned from my Iraq deployment, AND then my birthday. This year was exceptionally tough, but you guys made LA more tolerable. Many more stories to tell about 2023, but for now, here's a quick recap video from a rooftop in Hollywood, CA 🌴 Thanks for reading, and thanks for watching. Sincerely, EL "Todd Schowalter's guest is Elvis Leon, whose father was kidnapped while transporting vehicles from Denver to Guatemala. U.S. authorities refused to help, even though ransom demands were being made from within Denver itself."

I was a gameshow contestant on The Gameshow! Unfortunately, I couldn't get footage of the competitions, but I got AI to tell me a story of what happened! 👀🤖My first experiment with using AI!
For all my video editors out there, I used AI tools to cleanup audio issues and for voiceover work. I include a section where I toggle between Davinci Resolve's AI audio cleanup software.
