Great to see you are buiding inclusively for people with disabilities such as myself and my mum. I wish more commercial stores in Australia were so accomodating.
I can’t say this enough: Proof is an inspiration. Not just what you do but who you are. I’m consistently impressed by the direction of the business and the fact that you can so clearly communicate your goals. Keep it up, my friends!
Germany checking in. Totally rooting for this guy. Super glad he found a new place. Love his way of talking non stop without being boring for a second. Super soothing to listen to and exceptionally interesting.
Proof Bakery has inspired me to bake my first loaf of sourdough last week. I could listen to them talk bread for hours - in fact I have. Good luck in your new space!
You are providing INVALUABLE information for any folks that intend to build-out and open a new business. Too many people just jump in without doing due diligence. Thank You for being a Teacher!!! "Sell a Person a Loaf of Bread and You Feed Them for a Day. Teach a Person to Bake Bread and You Feed Them for Life". (yeah, you can use that LOLOL)
Found your channel 2 days ago and I have literally watched every single video posted! Such a great business with a mission, vision, drive, and passion that is incomparable! Love the baking content but also the life/business advice in every video and I know with your mindset and drive that this will be something you guys look back on as a great growth opportunity (like you always say, growth is always uncomfortable)! But wishing you and your team nothing but the best, can't wait to see the growth of Proof and hopefully visit one day!
Thank you Proof for the update. I am surprised that the contractors you approached were not willing to put in the time to map out electrical, plumbing and structural before compiling a bid. Having been in that business for a number of years it was the first step in the process. The only time we did not do it was when the customer wanted everything replaced and our bids reflected this. It appears to me that the high bid was by someone who really did not want the job. Keep doing what you are doing and you will get there. Take care and forge ahead.
Man you are an inspiration. You are an example of effort, dedication, sacrifice, patience and how doing the things da best you can do and love can reward you. God bless you and bless your business.
We're rooting for you guys. But get some rest man, you look tired. Praying for you and your family. Btw I love how much you love and know your craft. I'm amazed on how much i learn from all of your videos.
I'm not even in your city and I'm SO excited for you guys! You will do SO well. You sound like you're doing everything right and putting all the right thought into it. I'm SO excited to follow your success and see how this all turns out. Stay strong and you will get there! Greetings from Milwaukee...I hope you open up a branch here one day! All my best!
I have learned so much watching your videos. I love how you put baking business in a realistic way. I have been baking sourdough for 5 years and sell on a very small level. I realized through your educational videos that it takes a lot of business sense alongside of baking great product. You are helping people by posting these real life lessons. THANK YOU.
Speaking of brick you will notice that every seventh row has narrow brick. The brick is laid perpendicular to the regular pattern. This is the bond course. These bricks straddle the two walls of brick making one solid wall. There are various iterations of the bond courses depending on location and time period. That is all I know!! Congrats on all your hard work! Very exciting future ahead.
I believe whole heartedly in supporting small businesses. I've had my dreams in the baking world that I hope to one day achieve more as well too. Right now it's all on the back burner sadly... I'm also a home baker /homesteader and fermented sourdough is defenitly a true love here 😊 Big changes can be so scary and sometimes seem so financially impossible, so I get it... I'm personally so happy for you, your wife and the rest of your team on this next exciting journey for PROOF 🍞 Can I just say how incredibly natural and inspiring you are in front of the camera. Your words in how you speak to your audience of followers is incredible! You really are a natural.. and you know how to capture our attentions and keep us all engaged in watching your videos. It's quite impressive. You relate to the majority of us.... THANKYOU for keeping it it real! Never forget where you originally came from, you are truly going places! Looking forward to more updates 😉 I will gladly share your videos and I hope it gives you more support and donations. Happy Baking! Take - Care!
I believe thats God gift for you good people .. such a great news for all of us fans of your outgoingness and passion of baking .. my support is due .🙏
I believe it will be everything you are dreaming it will be. Your passion and kindness comes through and you are approachable. I’ve been quietly following your journey. I’m a small specialty cake designer business and we also do wholesale specialty gluten free items as well here in Georgia. The journey has been beyond tough but would not trade the experience. Rooting you guys on! And praying for your daughter Lisa Shepley LisaMae Cakes
I can already see this is going to be a blockbuster bakery. It’s going to look and feel amazing to walk in, buy your bread and watch how the ‘sausage’ is made. Best of luck, Jon. I can’t wait to see your new bakery.
I remember this video from when you made it. I am looking forward to visiting here later this week. Enjoy the atmosphere and enjoy my first load of Proof bread!
It's so intoxicating (in a positive way) hearing you talk and seeing you struggle for your dreams. You are such an inspiration to me and I hope I can be a fraction like you in the future and work hard for my family. God bless you!
I have not been fortunate to have gone myself but I love the restaurants and bakeries that allow you through glass to see them working and producing the food that you are eating. Its also great entertainment for those of us single people who like to go out for a nice cuppatea and meat pie or lunch but don't want to be interferring with staff by trying to have a decent length conversation with them.
can't wait to see the space fitted out and have the bakery provided the soul to this empty shell. I already know it's going to look brilliant !!! love the brick walls
Just found your 9 month old start to finish video & before it was finished, I subscribed. Then I saw your channel & already donated. Your honest, sincere, hard working, generous & pursuing your dreams while enabling others to pursue theirs. I’m sorry you’ve been forced into this major move but you are making sour dough out of lemons (or something like that). I hope to come visit some day & wish you and your family all the best in business & more importantly, in life. You’re inspirational. Once you settle in, please keep up the RUclips videos for those of us who can’t take in person classes. ☮️💟😷🥖
Thank you, and we certainly will! I can’t believe how many have started their own related journeys, and we want to do what we can to help. Certainly, so many have helped us along the way.
For the to-do list: run computer network plenum cabling to where needed: point of sale terminals, ceiling-mount wireless access points etc. Pull it back to a labeled patch panel in a dedicated closet in conditioned space. There it can be plugged into a PoE switch & router & the ISP's demarcation point. Seems daunting but it's SO worthwhile to do this in the construction stage.
I am excited for your future. And I know you will overcome these challenges and do it well. Because you have done it before. All you have done up to this point has prepared you for this moment. And you will nail it. I know it. I wish you only the best. God bless.
Good luck, I am looking forward to see the result of the makeover. Hope you give us a peek on the steps that will lead to the new shop, updates, and again good luck.
Best of luck with the move. Both of your enthusiasm and drive will make it great. Thanks for sharing your story and inspiring my baking. Even bought my own Rofco.
You speak loud and clear and enunciate well. I wouldn’t have noticed the rustling jacket. 😄. That space is huge for a bakery. You are incredibly lucky to have found it.
Hey, way to go, getting your business grow! I wish to visit you some day, maybe will drive to Arizona from Chicago. I’ve been watching your videos about bread making, love all of them! I’ve became a home baker myself recently, has been practicing for six months now. People like you inspire people like me! Good luck guys! John, you are very talented and kind person! All the best too you and your crew! Grow big and warm, like the loaf of bread!😁
I like your new building 🏪, I think it will be very unique after it us completed, it will be a great place to hang out and watch the baking process, you will attract a lot of people. Thank you
wishing you guys the best of luck, you definitely deserve it. everyone should take an example of your devotions and hard work, and most of all, not giving up. well done mate.
These videos are really good! I find it great how Jon can talk you through the process and explain everything just as if you were right there in person. Started watching the Sourdough bread process video from start to finish from months ago. Suddenly what turned into hours turns into days later..... I feel like i'm right there on this journey! New place looks really great the brickwork looks awesome!
Your video came up on my RUclips a day ago and I’m really liking your RUclips. I’d like to visit your bakery when the borders open again. Lots of luck to you guys! Hi
Those side walls need re-pointing, probably with lime mortar. Your idea of a hatch so people do not have to enter the shop to buy is brilliant, particularly given the current health problems...
I'm so excited, like so many of your friends I'm living with your hopes and fears whilst living on a different continent. Its encouraging seeing you, your family and team developing in to something new for your business and community. I really wish you all well - thank you for sharing your story and the encouragement it brings to others.
I'm so happy for you and family, YOU ARE BY FAR THE BEST EXPONENT OF SUCCESS I KNOW, because I see all your videos and at the same time I'm buying a Bakery and I had never even make a cake in my life, but I love bread and I love the fact that I can include my Kids on this business and be together every day, doing something we fill passionate and happy to learn and make a living from it. You give us HUGE motivation seeing the efforts and the dedication you put in everything you do and I KNOW NOW THAT I'M NOT CRAZY, THAT I'M JUST MAKING MY DREAM COME TRUE. Thank you very much and the best for all of you. From Canada with love and respect.
I'm so incredibly happy y'all have this wonderful place! Proof has taught me a lot about sourdough baking (just finished my 4th batch) and your insight has taught me a lot. I cant thank you enough and I wish y'all the best!
I am so happy for you guys! I’ve been watching your videos for a long while and it hurt hearing you’d have to move. But this is fantastic news. What a wonderful location! I’m sure 2021 will be wonderful for you.
Impressive to hear and see your undertakings. Daunting but also inspiring and cool and adventurous so keep going. The hump might be big but you'll get there. I'm 100% sure. Respect from a wannabe baker in Belgium!
I've just spent a cold and snowy maine winter afternoon watching your various baking videos. they're wonderful. you are adorable, a generous explainer, and a natural born teacher. so fun to watch you expanding your business . . . I have complete faith. wish I lived closer to mesa, arizona! (ps: one thing . . . I just wish you'd dealt with a hairnet in the sourdough video. I chef in a soup kitchen and hairnets are a big deal.)
Good day to you and the team Been watching your videos for several months now. And have really enjoyed the process being explained. You seem to keep coming up against obstacles, my thoughts are with you. Coming to you from North Vancouver Canada so although I may not to try your bread I have so much respect for how much work you all have done. Try not be to get discouraged as the way you make your product is becoming a lost Art. Good luck and happy holidays to you and your family.
HONESTLY, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE DISLIKING THE VIDEOS? HOW RUDE. THIS MAN,HIS FAMILY AND EMPLOYEES ARE EXTREMELY HARD WORKING PEOPLE. THESE VIDEOS ARE AN INSPIRATION. ONCE, THE PANDEMIC AND COVID MESS IS OVER I'M COMING TO VISIT.
Wow Jonathan, this is an awsome step up in what your doing gret to see the inspirational groth. Were watching fro CT. TODAY YA ITS A LITTLE CHILLY OUT SIDE 25/8 wind chill. With expected snow this afternoon. We be thinking about warm mesa. Were subbed. To watch.
I will say I wish I had a similar concept bakery near me, when I was on vacation near where you are I was super impressed that your area even has bakeries.
Wow, funny how things work out. 😍 Especially, when we least expect it and when we think we aren’t ready for it. Seems to me like this was a blessing in disguise. Good luck. Looks like from your latest video that you are gonna kill it 👍🏻 Sending you positive vibes
Kudos man. I aspire to do markets, to accomplish a small portion of what you're doing with sourdough, and surviving throughout such pressures, with such amazing poise. Thanks for amazing vids and sharing your journey!
In New York City there are a lot of great bakeries shaped like yours and I’d highly recommend you take a trip out there and take a look at the designs. One thing a lot of them have is work tables up against the front window so pedestrians can stand and watch work being done from the street. In Thessaloniki, Greece, there were also a lot of public spectacle bakeries cafes and patisseries. One really great thing they had was large flat screen TVs at the entrance with excellent eye-candy style slow motion video of the production process. I really enjoy your long, detailed, personal videos and wish you the best of luck.
Cool. Barrio bakery are friends of yours. My sister brought me some of their sourdough starter when she visited. It made my starter so strong and amazing.

You should make a bread cookbook!
The audio is actually really good, better quality than many other RUclips channels.
Did the city of Mesa/or your city of residence make you move? Did they pop up some code violations or something like that?
I am looking forward to seeing the building progress updates, will be very interesting to watch :) Thanks.
Great to see you are buiding inclusively for people with disabilities such as myself and my mum. I wish more commercial stores in Australia were so accomodating.

Me, a guy from across the pond in Europe, Slovenia... Watching video about bakery in Arizona, US.
I feel you ahahahahh Amsterdam here
Germany checking in. Totally rooting for this guy.
Super glad he found a new place. Love his way of talking non stop without being boring for a second. Super soothing to listen to and exceptionally interesting.
A baker from Greece (me) is watching this guy and his knowledge and efforts from the start of Proof.
Wish i could visit the bakery ...one day..
Hi from Spain ❤
Europe is in love with Proof Bread videos

Sounds like the landlord's responsibility, but I trust that the lease has been reviewed carefully if only to know who is on the hook for what.
Oh, the scamdemic?
Congratulations guys! Best of luck!
I’m so excited for you guys! The walk up window is an excellent idea, especially right now. Best of luck at the new location!
How exciting that you found a place for your bakery. Hope for the best and can’t wait to see your new journey.

Wow congrats on the new place. Looks like a perfect place. Love the brick. Best of luck. Tell your existing customers to spread the word!
Great to hear about the good progress you are making. And the chandeliers are such a nice touch!

This is so exciting and I'm so happy for you. It sounds like it's going to be a real positive move for your future
I'm so incredibly happy y'all have this wonderful place! Proof has taught me a lot about sourdough baking (just finished my 4th batch) and your insight has taught me a lot. I cant thank you enough and I wish y'all the best!

Impressive to hear and see your undertakings. Daunting but also inspiring and cool and adventurous so keep going. The hump might be big but you'll get there. I'm 100% sure. Respect from a wannabe baker in Belgium!
I've just spent a cold and snowy maine winter afternoon watching your various baking videos. they're wonderful. you are adorable, a generous explainer, and a natural born teacher. so fun to watch you expanding your business . . . I have complete faith. wish I lived closer to mesa, arizona!
(ps: one thing . . . I just wish you'd dealt with a hairnet in the sourdough video. I chef in a soup kitchen and hairnets are a big deal.)
Love your bread but I love watching your growth even more. Im a Phoenix metro local and I cant wait to visit your new shop once its all done
Also how do I get a PROOF hat?
Good day to you and the team Been watching your videos for several months now. And have really enjoyed the process being explained. You seem to keep coming up against obstacles, my thoughts are with you. Coming to you from North Vancouver Canada so although I may not to try your bread I have so much respect for how much work you all have done. Try not be to get discouraged as the way you make your product is becoming a lost Art. Good luck and happy holidays to you and your family.
Excellent news. It's a shame you had to move out, but this looks like quite a decent building to show off your bakery talents.
Vent that Sour Dough aroma right on Main Street! That will bring in the walk by traffic.
all the best John.
I'm enjoy following your progress. Greetings all the way from Denmark.
Best of luck!!.Bread is life.
Looks like a great place to grow in, hope you do well and great in the upcoming year!
Very exciting and inspiring. ☺️
More power to your team. 💕
HONESTLY, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE DISLIKING THE VIDEOS? HOW RUDE. THIS MAN,HIS FAMILY AND EMPLOYEES ARE EXTREMELY HARD WORKING PEOPLE. THESE VIDEOS ARE AN INSPIRATION. ONCE, THE PANDEMIC AND COVID MESS IS OVER I'M COMING TO VISIT.
All the best! You deserve it!
Wow Jonathan, this is an awsome step up in what your doing gret to see the inspirational groth.
Were watching fro CT.
TODAY
YA ITS A LITTLE CHILLY OUT SIDE
25/8 wind chill.
With expected snow this afternoon.
We be thinking about warm mesa.
Were subbed. To watch.
I would make my bathrooms sing with praise, especially when providing food service.
They are a deal breaker for every member of the public.
AWESOME! CONGRATS! This place sounds like it'll become an amazing space for you guys.
I almost feel bad for sharing in your dreams, but not the headaches. Keep it up!
Congratulations with the move!!! You inspire many homes bakers like me 😊
Good luck with the move...
I’m excited for you guys. Build outs are exciting, excruciating events. You’ll have a lot of regrets, but in the end it’ll be yours.
I luv you guys!!!!
Life is FULL OF challenges!
My hopes are with you!!!!!
💯💯💯
I will say I wish I had a similar concept bakery near me, when I was on vacation near where you are I was super impressed that your area even has bakeries.
I am so proud for you!
Congratulations!
Inspiring man, inspiring team... Good luck with the new space! Support from Greece✌️
Wow, funny how things work out. 😍
Especially, when we least expect it and when we think we aren’t ready for it. Seems to me like this was a blessing in disguise. Good luck. Looks like from your latest video that you are gonna kill it 👍🏻
Sending you positive vibes
Kudos man. I aspire to do markets, to accomplish a small portion of what you're doing with sourdough, and surviving throughout such pressures, with such amazing poise. Thanks for amazing vids and sharing your journey!
This is super exciting, congrats on the progress!
God bless you I have found a building as well and I am getting a lot of info from you and your operation, I am in Detroit, MI
Looks like a blessing in disguise. Love the place and wish you nothing but success. You guys are the real deal.
"Getting cooler by the minute"
This New Englander thought he was talking about the weather.
In New York City there are a lot of great bakeries shaped like yours and I’d highly recommend you take a trip out there and take a look at the designs. One thing a lot of them have is work tables up against the front window so pedestrians can stand and watch work being done from the street. In Thessaloniki, Greece, there were also a lot of public spectacle bakeries cafes and patisseries. One really great thing they had was large flat screen TVs at the entrance with excellent eye-candy style slow motion video of the production process. I really enjoy your long, detailed, personal videos and wish you the best of luck.
I used to live in Mesa back in the late 90s. Near Gilbert and Main St. Nice area for sure.
Amazing. So happy for you guys!
You will do fine . You have a lot of good wishes from all of us :)
Cool. Barrio bakery are friends of yours. My sister brought me some of their sourdough starter when she visited. It made my starter so strong and amazing.
The chandeliers will definitely add a classy touch :)
Good morning from Belize!
congratulations, you will be very successful!!!
