Mr MPW Mr MPW Hi everyone,Welcome to the channel - I'm Matt Williams, Founder of the ICARUS Drone Course.I'm an ex RAF Helicopter Instructor and I've been flying model helicopters and planes for more than 20 years. We were flying our custom built, large model helicopters with gimbals and cameras attached to them, for the FIlm and TV industry before the drone revolution even began and we now run ICARUS - the world's largest and fastest growing Commercial Drone Training School.I've been obsessed with aviation and business since I was a child and we've set up this channel to help educate those who are in, or entering, the exciting world of aviation and business and are building an awesome community of like-minded people.Welcome to the channel - we've got content coming out all the time (and we're going to be building content on manned aviation soon, too...

Dale Throneberry There I Was... is an open mic opportunity for veterans to tell their stories. Raw Vegan Lens Sheri Meshal Join me for an authentic raw vegan journey. I will never sugar coat my experience. If you're searching for a pristine, flawless, skyrocket to raw perfection, this is not it. My raw journey resembles a big pile of knotted zoodles. I bought my first raw book, Juliano's RAW in 2000. In 2006, I finally realized that raw was an actual lifestyle, not just a handful of freakishly disciplined people. Then I started 'going raw.' I've gone raw and careened off it hundreds of times. But I'm always learning and honing my skills. I will not stop. I can't. There's nothing like raw. I believe it gives me the absolute best version of myself - hands down, the person I was always meant to be. How can you discover your full potential, if you're not consuming the best fuel you can get your hands on? Raw veganism is an incredibly healing path. It's also the way I choose to manage my ADHD and the most effective way I've discovered since being diagnosed at age 6. In 2005 at hypnotherapy school, I experien Wine on the Street Wine on the Street I started covering the wine world back in 2010 for Fox News. I was an anchor for Fox Business, but I really wanted to learn about wine – mainly because I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I loved to drink it. So I started a column called Wine with Me. After many interviews and podcasts with some amazing wine professionals, I realize I still don’t know much. I also realize that there are lots of people feel the same way.To learn about wine, you need to drink it. Lots of it – and all different kinds. Shall we?
