A huge THANK YOU to all of our fans and supporters over the past year, we could not have made it this far without you!
To all of our Paid Patreon Supporters, Ben will be handling wrapping up the Patreon sponsorship levels and refunding everyone for there last month. He will also wrap up any perks that are due to our HAMMER TIME and STICK BUILT members.
You will still be able to follow along with Jaime and the crew on the Perkins Builder Brothers YouTube Channel, but there is no plan for the team to continue updating the Patreon page now that Let Jaime Talk has come to a close.
From Ben: I really appreciate the community that has been built around this brand, and it has been fun being a part of the expansion and growth. Thank you all so much for the engagement, encouragement, constructive criticism and more as I got to live out my Podcast Host dreams for a short time! We all learned a lot, and when one door closes...another opens! Who knows what will come next, maybe we can get Arlo to start a podcast...just kidding!
