11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:01:00,800
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for being.

12
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,040
Good morning again podcasting
morning chat.

13
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,320
Thank you for being here.
I am your host Mark Ronik and

14
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:31,280
currently on stage with me.
We have my Co hosts Nick Naul,

15
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,080
back, Sid Meadows, Amanda Sharp,
producer Ashley Feller, Alex

16
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Baelish and Dr. Faye.
I was going to make a joke

17
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,720
because Dr. is usually not the
last one in the room and I was

18
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,120
going to call it out and say
let's see how long it takes Dr.

19
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,360
to realize it's Showtime.
Oh.

20
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Man, sorry.
Because I knew she was coming

21
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,840
because we, as we usually do the
hour leading up to the Showtime,

22
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,760
she's usually right here in the
room and, and she's usually

23
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,440
helping me, I should say, in
that first hour leading up to

24
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Showtime.
So anyway, today it's Friday.

25
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,000
So that means we are sharing our
wins from the week.

26
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,880
And first, since it's a Friday,
I want to loosen things up a

27
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,400
little bit, have a little bit of
fun.

28
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,800
And so one way I think we can do
that is talk about some of the

29
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,520
podcasts that we're listening to
may be new to us, and also what

30
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,680
we can learn from those podcasts
we're enjoying.

31
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,680
And we'll also talk about some
of your favorite podcasts that

32
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,560
you wish you could go back and
listen to again for the first

33
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,400
time.
So with that, why don't we open

34
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,800
the floor?
I have one, but I want to 1st

35
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,200
see if anybody else wants to
share, willing to share.

36
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:49,800
What is a podcast that you're
listening to right now?

37
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,320
It doesn't have to be a brand
new one to the world.

38
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,920
It could simply be new to you.
By the way, Dominic Lawson has

39
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,800
joined us as well.
And Dominic, I was just setting

40
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,760
things up for the room.
So we're first asking what's a

41
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,160
podcast that's new to you right
now that you're really enjoying?

42
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Sid, we'll start with you.
Good morning.

43
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Thank you for playing along.
What say you?

44
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,240
What's that new to you podcast?
Good morning everybody.

45
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,920
I have to admit I'm a bit of a
junkie when it comes to podcast.

46
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,320
We knew that already about you,
Sid I.

47
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,720
You always are talking about a
different podcast you're

48
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,120
listening to.
I love.

49
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,880
It yesterday based on Dr.
recommendation I did listen to

50
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,120
life after corporate, though I
don't think I'm the ideal

51
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,560
listener for that one.
I did listen to it because I'm

52
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800
building a community and I'm
looking for community tools and

53
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,440
so that was a recommendation
from yesterday.

54
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,880
I really enjoyed the one episode
that I listened to yesterday,

55
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,120
but one of the newest ones I
just found accidentally was a

56
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,640
new show called Real Estate
Investing with Coach Carson.

57
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,680
It's a really great, very
informative.

58
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,720
He's really easy to listen to.
And so that's one of the newest

59
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,800
ones because I'm very interested
in real estate investing and

60
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,280
trying to buy a couple of
properties now and then.

61
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,520
My favorite, I should have so
many favorites, but one of my

62
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,080
favorites is finding mastery.
I just it's a it can be a bit of

63
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,880
a deep podcast because he's a
psychologist, but Dang, this is

64
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,160
a really good show.
I really enjoyed Doctor Michael

65
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,440
Gervais and finding master.
He was a sports or is a sports

66
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080
psychologist and he worked for
the Seattle Seahawks when they

67
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,400
won the Super Bowl.
So he talks a lot about high

68
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,600
performance and growth and what
you need to do.

69
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,840
And he asked him really, like,
really deep questions.

70
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,400
Very cool and have you listened
to more than one episode?

71
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,600
Of finding mastery.
Yeah.

72
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,240
Oh, that's you said one of your
favorites.

73
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Yeah, that, that's on my weekly
playlist, that one.

74
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,720
Is there an is there an episode
1 particular one that you would

75
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,960
recommend to us if we wanted to
jump into it?

76
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,000
So I did a video about this one.
It's the one from this week, and

77
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760
it's about Taylor Swift.
And I almost didn't listen to it

78
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,440
because it's about Taylor Swift.
And I thought was when I saw the

79
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,320
title was, oh, he's jumping on
the bandwagon or they're jumping

80
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,000
on the bandwagon of Taylor
Swift.

81
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,320
And I don't know whether it's
gonna be good or bad.

82
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
And because of the title, I
prejudged it, which is wrong.

83
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,560
Let's be clear.
That's wrong.

84
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,640
But I hit play and Dang, it was
a really good episode because it

85
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080
didn't really, I like Taylor
Swift, right?

86
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,720
But it didn't really talk about
necessarily her music or things

87
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,280
of that nature.
But though it did, what it

88
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:32,240
really talked about was the
parallels to how she created her

89
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,040
success and how that can create
how that parallels to your life

90
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,960
and to your business.
And it was just real, so

91
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,080
powerful.
Literally, if you haven't seen

92
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,840
the video on LinkedIn, I'm
sweaty.

93
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,880
I've got my sunglasses on as I'm
talking because there were three

94
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400
points I wanted to make and I
just like grabbed my phone and

95
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,400
turned on record and in one take
recorded that video begins.

96
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Like during the video, I got
sweat dripping down my face.

97
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,960
And like damn said that was
awful video, but it did it did

98
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,520
really well.
But I was just hit with the

99
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,280
takeaways that how important
they were to me and how

100
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,160
important they are to other
business leaders.

101
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,200
And there's so much that his
purpose was there.

102
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,560
So much you can learn from her
and what she's been through and

103
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,880
you can apply into your
business.

104
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,600
And it was his guest was a guy
who wrote a book about Taylor

105
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,800
Swift, who never interviewed
her, but he wrote a book about

106
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,200
her experiences.
And it's all about what you can

107
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,520
learn from her.
I love that.

108
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,320
Thank you, Sid.
And I did see that video and I

109
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,800
did see you were sweaty and it
didn't bother me at all.

110
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,040
And it's just, it's funny how
when we're creating a video, we

111
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,320
think, oh, this is terrible
because of X because I just

112
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,160
finished a workout and I was
sweaty.

113
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,840
But those do tend to be the ones
that do particularly well.

114
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,000
And I don't think anybody really
cares.

115
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,680
Like I don't think, and I'm not
saying this to you directly,

116
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Sid.
I think I'm saying this to

117
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,160
anybody who feels that way at
times.

118
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,480
It does.
Nobody cares that you're a

119
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,000
sweaty mess.
And if anything, it might help

120
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,400
stop the scroll because they're
going to be like, what's wrong

121
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,560
with this guy?
Why is he sweating so much?

122
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,880
But then they're going to stop
when they stop.

123
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,920
Then if you're saying if you've
got a good hook, if you've got

124
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,840
good information, good insights,
if it's entertaining, that

125
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,240
sweatiness, for example, goes
away, they don't care about it

126
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,040
anymore.
I think it's really an important

127
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,320
lesson.
I agree with you and part of the

128
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,000
reason why I posted it on
LinkedIn is simply way it's a

129
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,120
business video.
But also I'm on this mission to

130
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,960
let's normalize video on
LinkedIn.

131
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,560
It doesn't have to be so
curated.

132
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,080
It doesn't have to be so
professional and having my

133
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,080
sunglasses, my business coach
picks on me about doing videos

134
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,480
of my sunglasses.
He goes lose the sunglasses, Sid

135
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,560
because we want to see your
face.

136
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,160
And so I actually called him out
in the video.

137
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,320
I'm like, no hate Rex.
Oh, I heard that.

138
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Yes.
I was wondering who that was.

139
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,120
OK, cool.
Well, thank you, Sid.

140
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,560
I appreciate you sharing all of
that, and I'm going to go back

141
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,560
and, well, you know what?
I'm going to ask you one more

142
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,560
question, Sid, since you are
such a connoisseur these days of

143
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,800
podcasts.
Is there a podcast that you

144
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,480
enjoy that you wish you could go
back and experience it for the

145
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,160
first time?
That's a really good question.

146
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,960
And my first thought in my my
brain is the Serial podcast

147
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,880
because that's what got me into
podcasting that right?

148
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,680
That was the hook for me that
got me listening.

149
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,799
And so I would love to go listen
to that story again one more

150
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,360
time.
But in current times, I would

151
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,120
say the one that I would like to
go back to listen to again is

152
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,559
it's called How Leaders Lead
with David Novak.

153
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:44,920
I've mentioned this podcast
before.

154
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,120
It's also my weekly playlist.
There's an episode that he did

155
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,640
with, I don't remember her name,
but she's the CEO of Enterprise

156
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Mobility, which is what we know
is Enterprise rent a rent a car.

157
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,760
And she's a third generation
CEO.

158
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,520
Her grandfather started the
business and then her father

159
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,680
took over and then she's taking
over.

160
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,080
And it's just a really powerful
store of family of a family

161
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,120
business because they're still a
private company, just gives a

162
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,760
lot of lessons in leadership and
in life.

163
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,960
And it was just a really
powerful episode.

164
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,000
And I tell a lot of people about
that particular episode because

165
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,680
it was so good.
And, you know, I finished

166
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,000
listening to it and I'm not
looking for a job.

167
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,320
My first thought was, damn, I
would go work for that Lady.

168
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:29,880
Like she was just that good,
right?

169
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,080
And who she is as a person.
There's things about like

170
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,800
building a culture and hide.
And she doesn't necessarily talk

171
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,360
about this, but you can hear
like how they built the culture

172
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,240
enterprise rent a car, why they
hire college students or college

173
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,480
athletes right out of college,
what it is about being a family

174
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,760
business and how she, you know,
stays connected to the business

175
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,480
of, what, 10,000 employees.
I mean, it just was really great

176
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,800
to hear a very successful leader
talk about what she's doing and

177
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,280
how she's building because all
of us are building something.

178
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,000
And there is a lesson that we
can take away from successful

179
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,280
leaders, regardless of the size
of their company.

180
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,080
Thank you, Sid.
Love that and I want to keep it

181
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,360
going now.
So who else would like to share?

182
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,880
What's a podcast that's new to
you?

183
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,600
We got a couple people wanting
to go.

184
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,160
Let's go to Dr. Good morning,
Dr. Yeah.

185
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,040
What's a new to you podcast?
Well, it's not new to me, but I

186
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:31,520
do listen to it and it's
actually not even publishing

187
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,160
anymore.
It's kind of been pod fade, but

188
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,120
it's called history of Stand up
and it's just a history of stand

189
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,200
up comedians and how they got
started and where they got, you

190
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,200
know, started from.
So I listened to that one.

191
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,120
Normally I listen to podcasts
about podcasting because I feel

192
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,680
like it's my classroom and I go
to class every day, you know,

193
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:57,680
that kind of thing.
But I am a SNL freakazoid.

194
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:00,400
I love, I love SNL even the bad
years.

195
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,880
I love the bad years.
And so anyone who has a podcast

196
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,240
that's connected with SNL, I'm
kind of crazy about flying on

197
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,600
the wall with Dana Carvey and
David Spade.

198
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,720
I love that.
You know, it's an interesting

199
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,600
thing.
I found that Seth, what's his

200
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,440
name, Seth Meyers has a podcast.
It's called The Lonely Island

201
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,880
and Seth Meyers podcast and I
tuned into it and I left it a

202
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,200
couple, but it's just about,
it's just like 4 Bros sitting

203
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,240
around talking, laughing at each
other's jokes.

204
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,440
And I kept listening because I
thought surely it's going to get

205
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,920
better.
It's going to get better.

206
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,400
It's come on, it's going to.
And I wound up it's going to get

207
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,000
bettering probably for about an
hour.

208
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,440
No, it's not going to get
better.

209
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,960
Wow, I'm surprised because you
know, Seth Meyers is a funny

210
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,960
guy.
I know he's, he's very funny.

211
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,280
I didn't connect with it.
I don't know.

212
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,440
I don't know why I didn't
connect with it, but I was

213
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,840
really disappointed.
You know, when's the last time

214
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,680
you had expectations of a show
and you listen to it and you're

215
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,160
kind of a little bit crushed, A
little bit crushed.

216
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,840
And so I had that feeling
yesterday.

217
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:22,160
So my first question to you,
Dr., is do you think that's

218
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,760
because maybe, and I don't know
this, but perhaps you're not

219
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,400
their target audience, right?
Because the first thing you said

220
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,560
was it's like 4 Bros sitting
around making each other laugh.

221
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:39,320
And to me, that's probably a
more male oriented audience.

222
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,920
Yeah.
The only reason why I turned

223
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,560
tuned into it is because all
four from SNL, yeah.

224
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:52,560
And I thought, OK, I'll be able
to relate to this and Nope.

225
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,040
Nope.
All right, let's.

226
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,840
Well, Dominic looks like he
wants to chime in.

227
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Let's check in with Dominic.
Go ahead, Dominic.

228
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,120
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.

229
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,080
I hope everybody is well.
I just had a quick question.

230
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,320
You say it's called the Lonely
Guys and Self Myers is that's

231
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,920
what it's called.
It's called The Lonely Island

232
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,120
and Seth Meyers podcast.
Is that The Lonely Island crew?

233
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,280
That's yes.
OK.

234
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,040
Oh, that's highly unfortunate
'cause I love The Lonely Island

235
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,400
crew.
What is that?

236
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,520
I don't even know what that is.
The Lonely Island crew.

237
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,000
And it was short, right?
Yeah, it's it's this crew pretty

238
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,240
much led by Andy Samberg.
And remember those.

239
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,560
He's one of the four.
Right.

240
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:36,000
And so remember those skits
where they did a whole bunch of

241
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,920
music stuff like blanking up,
blanking a box?

242
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,280
And yeah, that that was The
Lonely Island crew's brainchild.

243
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,680
And I love all those shorts.
So if you telling me that.

244
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,240
They, they talk about all of
them, but in fragments.

245
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,160
So it's like, do you remember
the car that I drove in?

246
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,480
And they he mentioned something.
Got you.

247
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,520
Oh yeah.
So now I'm conflicted.

248
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,080
Well, see, Dominic, I again, I
go back to maybe it's more for

249
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,600
guys than it is for women.
Fair enough, fair enough.

250
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,240
Who knows?
And I think that's a lesson too,

251
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,720
right?
It's like you just because

252
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,440
somebody recommends a podcast or
says a podcast isn't a good one,

253
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,680
it might just be because they
aren't the right audience for

254
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,560
it.
That's true 'cause like, like I

255
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640
said, I am a massive lonely eye
the crew fan, like I've seen

256
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,960
their movie with like the Jose
Canseco Mark McGwire thing they

257
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,960
did a few years ago.
Yeah, So I'll check it out.

258
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,560
I'll check it out, thanks.
I'm sorry about that.

259
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,440
No, not.
At all.

260
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,480
I appreciate the question and
Dominic, I'm going to keep you

261
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,280
here for a moment and ask you a
little bit about mental health

262
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Rewritten 'cause I know there's
a new episode coming, but really

263
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,600
my question is more about are
there any lessons so far that

264
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,880
you've learned from doing this
new podcast?

265
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,800
So new episode came out today.
OK, Just dropped it about an

266
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,640
hour ago.
Two hours, no hour ago.

267
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,680
I don't know if there's any big
lessons as far as like creating

268
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,640
the content.
I think I'm just learning more

269
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,360
and more about our our industry
and behavioral health and how

270
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,960
things are treated and things of
that nature.

271
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,320
I think one of the things I
talked about today is about EMDR

272
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,440
therapy.
Yeah, I'm doing that right now

273
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,400
actually.
Exactly.

274
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,720
So I learned a little bit more
about that is kind of mentioned

275
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,480
in the episode.
So I, I think it's just the

276
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,480
overall, which I know is a lazy
answer, but just the overall

277
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,360
acquire more knowledge about the
industry that I have kind of

278
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,160
come to love over the past
couple of years.

279
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,600
OK, I'm going to rephrase the
question.

280
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,720
How What have you learned about
promoting this new show?

281
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Because I know that it's
different.

282
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,760
It's different from the last
show.

283
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,680
It's a whole job, like just
promoting it is just a whole

284
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,040
job.
And this is with me hiring a

285
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,040
marketing firm to help campaign
in the launch and stuff like

286
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,560
that.
It's been stressful, but also a

287
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,200
great learning experience,
right, to understand just how

288
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,800
much promotion of your show is
super important, right?

289
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,640
Because you know, and I am super
grateful and then shout out to

290
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,000
the people at T Media who have
been astronomically helpful in

291
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,360
the launch of getting the word
out and stuff like that.

292
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,040
But it's been stressful, but
also a learning experience and

293
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,720
there's just how important it
is.

294
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,400
And so I'm super, super excited,
but it's been nerve wrecking.

295
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,440
It's been nerve wrecking.
Like there's days where it's

296
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,240
like, you know, guys, I really
just kind of want to work on the

297
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,160
actual podcast they're
promoting.

298
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,560
I don't want to promote it, but
I understand their their thing.

299
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,680
But yeah, it's.
Been a learning process.

300
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,000
Thank you.
And that's so relatable.

301
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,320
I think there are a lot of us
out there that will say, you

302
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,000
know, I just want to work on the
podcast.

303
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,120
I don't want to do all the other
things after I'm done with the

304
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,640
podcast, The promotion, whatever
it is we're like in, it just

305
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,680
feels like a heavier lift and
then have to do all the extra

306
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,720
things afterwards.
But it all counts.

307
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,000
It's just as important.
The production of your podcast

308
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,079
is just as important as the
promotion is.

309
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,880
Yeah, it's just one of those
those tough ones that we just

310
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,880
have to face.
Sid, did you want to ask a

311
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,319
follow up or did you have
anything else?

312
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,880
You have a question for Dominic
if that's OK Sure.

313
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:22,000
So Donna got really enjoyed the
first episode.

314
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,760
Look forward to listening to
this episode, man, that, that

315
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,960
that show makes you really think
about your life.

316
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,240
And I know that's the point,
right?

317
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,080
So thank you for encouraging
deep thought.

318
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:35,960
I noticed in the first episode
that you used AI in voice

319
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,920
generation, which honestly was a
little unexpected for me because

320
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,400
of your other show and how
you're using people voices,

321
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,120
right?
But So what was it like

322
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:49,520
incorporating that component of
AI into the show because of this

323
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,920
was I think new for you, right?
It was and thank you for

324
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,640
pointing that out.
And Nick may not remember this,

325
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,040
but me and him had a
conversation kind of offline

326
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,720
kind of talking about this
usage.

327
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:03,160
It's been helpful and
challenging, right, because I

328
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:09,640
think AI doesn't always give me
the emotional tone I'm looking

329
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,400
for, right, You know, and it and
it and it's gotten better,

330
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,800
right?
But I found myself as the

331
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,440
creator having to make up for
their lack of emotional tone.

332
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,040
So I had to frame my script
around that part that I'm going

333
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,240
to use AI in a certain way, and
I have to use the correct sound

334
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:35,280
design during that part as well.
So it's actually kind of

335
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,680
challenged me in a good way as a
creative to work a little bit

336
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,960
harder and a little bit deeper
in order to correctly convey the

337
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,960
emotional tone of the moment
that I'm trying to relate to the

338
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,040
audience.
And so I was a bit hesitant to

339
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:59,400
use it, but I knew that I wanted
to make sure that I framed the

340
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,040
content in a proper way.
And what we're talking about,

341
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:07,480
you know, sex, not everybody
wants to openly talk about that.

342
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,880
So it's hard to get people on a
podcast sometimes, not all the

343
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,040
time.
Sometimes you talk about the

344
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,560
particular nature of sex or
aspect of sex that I want to

345
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,040
talk about, right?
Especially when you slap an

346
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,920
addiction or something shameful
or something stigmat

347
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,200
stigmatizing about it.
So AI doesn't have that

348
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,000
emotional connection.
So I kind of have to lean on

349
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,600
that, if that makes any sense.
Oh, absolutely it does.

350
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,120
But I will tell you, I don't
know that the average listener

351
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:40,240
would realize that that was AI.
I'd heard those voices before

352
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,280
because of this room.
So I think you did a great job

353
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,560
in masking them as you were
talking about with your sound

354
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,880
design and other things and
setting them up because I don't

355
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,800
know that the average person to
realize those were AI generated

356
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,800
voices.
I appreciate that.

357
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,840
So clearly it's coming across
nicely and there's times where

358
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,320
I'm using AI as a clinical type
of voice to relate something

359
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,320
clinical.
So sometimes that emotional

360
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,400
stalemate, I guess it's perfect,
right, Because I want to keep it

361
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,200
unbiased and kind of clinical.
But yeah, there are times where,

362
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,960
and that challenge came up in
today's episode where it's like,

363
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,760
I really need to frame this a
little bit more than normal.

364
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,680
So that way we can understand
just how serious, but also how

365
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,320
human a particular disorder is.
So I appreciate that said, I

366
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,520
appreciate that question.
Thank you.

367
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,600
And.
What AI tool are you using

368
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,480
specifically Dominic?
11 labs that that I think it was

369
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,000
Nick who shared that with me.
So I played around with it a

370
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,680
little bit that particularly the
tech speech function, right?

371
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,400
And what I did notice is that
when I put things like an

372
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,000
ellipses or a comma or something
like that, that definitely does

373
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,200
help with some of the pauses.
I'm looking for some of that

374
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,120
emotional tone I'm looking for.
So that steep climb of the sound

375
00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:00,280
design or my script before and
after the usage of the AI allows

376
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,120
kind of makes it a little bit
helpful when I can put those

377
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:07,080
ellipses and commas and, and
other type of punctuations in

378
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,840
there because clearly AI can
understand, oh, I can't just

379
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,640
read this.
I need to frame it in a way

380
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,160
where it's kind of an
emotionally resonant, if that

381
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,240
makes sense.
Yeah, absolutely.

382
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,480
And we have people on stage who
want to chime in and I want to

383
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,080
go to Nick first because, well,
you called him out.

384
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,520
So Nick, good morning.
Did you want to add anything?

385
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,040
I was just going to say.
Dominic, if you haven't looked

386
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,800
at this for anybody, too, if
you're.

387
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Wanting to play with 11 labs if
you haven't.

388
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,160
Looked at the.
Studio option instead of just

389
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,440
doing straight text to speech.
Studio has a few.

390
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,640
More.
Options something crazy, but one

391
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,920
in particular that might be
useful to you is you can

392
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,800
actually put in pauses.
You can like insert a pause and

393
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,640
you can determine I want that
pause to be 1/2 a second or two

394
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,200
seconds or three seconds,
whatever it is, and it'll

395
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,960
actually embed that pause into
the audio for you and then

396
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,400
continue on with whatever the AI
is saying so that.

397
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,520
That could be something helpful
to you if you're walking a

398
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,040
little bit more of a dramatic.
No, no, that is that is that is

399
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,440
massively helpful.
It it really is.

400
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,080
I, I appreciate that because I
saw that like they've added even

401
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,560
new voices and stuff like that.
But even something as simple as

402
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,120
that for what I do is massively
helpful.

403
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:25,120
So thank you.
Thank you, Nick.

404
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:28,040
That's really cool.
I have not tried that studio

405
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,200
feature, so thank you for
bringing that up.

406
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,240
And I yeah, I know somebody who
just wrote a book.

407
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,600
She's a former client, good
friend.

408
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,280
Her name is Amy Stark.
And yes, she's in the woo

409
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,920
business, if you will.
But what what's cool is her book

410
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,920
is actually about bridging.
It's called Bridging the Divide

411
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,680
and it's really about the
science side of the woo.

412
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,800
So it's really helping.
I think it will help people who

413
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,080
may be either on the fence,
skeptical, don't believe in the

414
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,720
woo.
This book scientifically kind of

415
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,680
explains how the woo actually
does work.

416
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,800
It does other things too with
this book.

417
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,200
But the reason why I'm sharing
it is, is that it was a big

418
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,920
book, a long book.
And even with her podcasting

419
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,920
experience, doing an audio
version felt really daunting to

420
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,160
her.
So she went ahead and used 11

421
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,840
labs and paid the premium so
that it really sounds like her

422
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,280
and it works amazing.
And you would really wouldn't

423
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,080
know it if I didn't tell you.
Also really quickly, if I may

424
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,080
just want to point out, you
know, I know we're talking about

425
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,120
AI and stuff like that, but one
person who is not AAI voice Dan,

426
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:42,240
well, Heidi will make his mental
health rewritten debut in about

427
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,760
two weeks.
Is just wanted to make sure I

428
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,120
pointed that out in the room.
Yes, very cool.

429
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,560
Yeah.
And Dan's here in the room right

430
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,600
now.
Yeah, very cool.

431
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,800
I've seen the the teasers with
him.

432
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,720
So I've been looking forward to
hearing more about that episode.

433
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Can can you tell us a little bit
about the episode?

434
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,920
You don't have to tell us
details as to what Dan shared,

435
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,480
but what is that episode about?
So that's probably one of the

436
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,920
more difficult episodes, and I'm
super glad that Dan was kind of

437
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,440
there to kind of walk me through
it a little bit as well, because

438
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,000
we're talking about sexual
assault.

439
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,760
It's extremely problematic.
It's a problematic as we see

440
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,320
survivors for, you know, both
women and men.

441
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,240
And Dan really helped me kind of
frame a lot of the context as it

442
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,400
relates to being an advocate for
survivors.

443
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,600
And so that's the general
premise of that episode.

444
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,480
It's a tough one, but an
important one.

445
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,320
Very cool.
I'm going to go to Janae and

446
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,880
then I'm going to go to Matt
Bliss, who's joined us on stage

447
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,920
as well.
I think Matt wants to comment on

448
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,520
the Seth Meyers podcast.
So and I have a feeling Janae

449
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,040
wants to comment on the AI talk
knowing Janae as well as I do.

450
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,000
Janae, what did you want to add?
Good morning.

451
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,840
As I'm listening.
This is yes, but pull me in,

452
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,160
right, because it's it's so
powerful of a topic.

453
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,920
I use AI for my production, my
post production as well,

454
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:02,760
especially my team.
Look, going in and creating

455
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,520
those AI hooks at the beginning
of the episode and 11 Labs has

456
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,600
grown so much in the past two
years.

457
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,960
It's amazing to see all the
features that are in there and

458
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,680
it's just.
Really powerful, thanks.

459
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,760
Thank you Janae and Matt Bliss.
Did you want to comment on the

460
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,800
Seth Meyers Podcast?
No, I don't think that.

461
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,160
I think what what you guys said
was pretty spot on.

462
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,080
I listened to it as well.
Huge Lonely Island fan.

463
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,920
They actually did a film too.
Don't Stop Never Stopping was

464
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,560
like a Justin Bieber like, you
know, take kind of thing.

465
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,000
Very funny.
But that show is very

466
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,840
reminiscent of them sharing
their own stories with each

467
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,280
other.
So it's a bit hard to latch

468
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,880
onto.
No, I wanted to share a podcast

469
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,920
that that kind of changed things
a little bit for me.

470
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,720
Not personally, but the void
that's really hard to fill is

471
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,840
when video games are adapted
into television and film.

472
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,760
And often people that either
come on board and find one

473
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,880
better than the other, or it
completely reimagines what it is

474
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,800
and misses the mark for certain
groups of people, or it just

475
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,680
fails miserably.
Some of you might be familiar

476
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:22,040
with The Last of Us that came
out I think 2023 for season 1

477
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,640
and last week it just wrapped up
the end of season 2.

478
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,120
Brilliant show.
But part of the reason that it's

479
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:34,720
brilliant is not only because
the director of the game is also

480
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,680
on as a Co director and writer
for the show.

481
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,640
But the way that they create the
fascia that connects the game

482
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,600
with the television show is
largely addressed through the

483
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,760
official The Last of Us HBO
podcast that is hosted by Troy

484
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,920
Baker, who is the voice of Joel
in the game and also appears in

485
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,200
the show in season 1.
Not as Joel.

486
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,720
That's Pedro, our our best pal
from all the shows you can

487
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,920
imagine.
They unpack every episode

488
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,760
together.
And the thing about The Last of

489
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,120
Us, if you've ever looked at it
and thought, I'm not up for a

490
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:10,920
zombie TV show, there's too many
of them.

491
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,800
It's the game and the TV show
are a story about love and

492
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:21,440
relationships, and all of it is
the zombie stuff being a

493
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,320
backdrop to the relationships
that get created in the post

494
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,920
apocalypse of of America.
And the way that they explained

495
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,040
the changes between the game and
the TV show and the way that

496
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:38,120
they give the TV show its own
message, its own personality

497
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,080
that arrives at something
different but just as valuable

498
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,560
to anyone who's up for finding
those things is just

499
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,800
unbelievable.
So if you've watched The Last of

500
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,120
Us and you weren't aware of the
HBO the Last of Us official

501
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:55,000
podcast, I would suggest even
doing a watch along or if you

502
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,040
remember enough just listening
to them all.

503
00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:59,240
There's one for every episode
that got released.

504
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,000
But the way they unpack it and
the personal stories that went

505
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,040
into the game that they share as
part of the TV show as well and

506
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,680
even the little things like the
music selection is all just it's

507
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,640
an amazing set of stories.
So while firstly, it doesn't

508
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,640
change much for me, it does show
the power of podcasting to be

509
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,440
the connective tissue for other
parts of life.

510
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,280
And I think it's a really good
example of that.

511
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,880
I'd suggest anyone check it out.
Thanks, Matt.

512
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,320
I appreciate that.
And yeah, I'm with you.

513
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,320
I'm hearing what you're saying
and what I'm also hearing the

514
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:39,640
lesson in there is that, OK, so
zombies, it is probably the draw

515
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,480
for a lot of people right when
they heard this was coming out

516
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,760
and the fact that it's the video
game, you know, it's based off

517
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,920
the video game as well.
Those are the two factors that

518
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,960
are the draw or maybe it's even
kind of like the hook, if you

519
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,040
will.
It gets the audience there, but

520
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,080
it's the storytelling that
really makes it successful.

521
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,800
Like you said, it's the
development of the

522
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,680
relationships.
It's a love story.

523
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,920
It's other things as well it,
but ultimately that's what's

524
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,680
keeping people there.
And that to me is the big lesson

525
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,800
for any of us as content
creators.

526
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,280
You can have your underlying
theme, right?

527
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,320
Like in my case, it's about
podcasting, but I don't believe

528
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,200
we have built the community that
we have without the

529
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,200
storytelling, without the
personal stories, the personal

530
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,800
touches.
That's what really gets this

531
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,640
show to where it is right now
and where it will continue to

532
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,000
go.
Thank you for that, Matt.

533
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,760
Yeah, just because I was just
going to say too, that for for

534
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,360
this context, there are always
going to be people who play the

535
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,520
game who are coming up to the to
the mic to point out all the

536
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,400
things that are wrong with the
TV show adaptation.

537
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,440
And the podcast addresses that.
But it's like you said, it's the

538
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,840
stories that interconnect
absolutely everything.

539
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,800
A couple, the main actor who
plays Joel and Ellie in the

540
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,320
game, the way that they
emotionally connect with each

541
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,240
other and the director and the
game kind of emerges through the

542
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,160
story and the TV.
Yeah, but basically what you

543
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,200
said, storytelling, huge thing.
And the biggest part is it's the

544
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,200
little things that you don't
realize are valuable that you

545
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,280
could share that creates that
story connection for people

546
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,960
listening or watching.
It's like a little industry

547
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,560
secret, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.

548
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,320
Thank you, Matt.
Great example.

549
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,600
I'm so proud of the example I
wanted to share.

550
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,640
As far as new to me podcasts go,
I'm proud because, well, I am

551
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,800
going to share.
Screw it.

552
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,480
This.
I was connected to this guy who

553
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,560
I believe he's in college or
maybe recent graduate.

554
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,400
I think maybe a recent graduate.
It's been a minute since we

555
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,480
talked and I just heard from
him, I think it was yesterday or

556
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,720
the day before.
I just came across the e-mail

557
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,760
yesterday.
He might have sent it, might

558
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,880
have sent it actually while I
was away on vacation.

559
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,400
He originally, I was connected
to him through somebody I know

560
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,920
in the Asheville area and he was
looking to start a podcast and

561
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,040
she thought I'd be a good person
for him to talk to.

562
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:11,800
And we talked and I gave him a
bunch of advice and with the

563
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,600
understanding, and he did
confirm it that he wasn't in any

564
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,160
position to work with me full
time or, you know, work hire me

565
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,480
to help him with the podcast.
But that's OK.

566
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,360
I mean, I do offer those free
calls and those are not surface

567
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,640
level calls.
It's, it's, it's a free

568
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,600
consultation coaching producer
call.

569
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,960
And you know, he wanted to know
cuz he had no idea about how to

570
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,560
put on a podcast and what that
looks like.

571
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,840
He had a vision of his own, but
wanted to see, you know, if that

572
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,440
vision jives.
And I gave him a lot of advice

573
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,960
and it's, it's really, well,
I'll tell you the description

574
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,560
here.
It's basically he left his home,

575
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,520
he left his job.
So yeah, he had just finished

576
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:02,200
college and was working at that
point and he wanted to learn

577
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:08,240
life with first hand experience.
So he set out hitchhiking across

578
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,840
the world, embracing, as it says
here, the unexpected and let go

579
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,240
one step at a time.
So this is his journey.

580
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,480
And the cool thing is, is that
similarly Tao Dominic does a lot

581
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,120
of his podcasts.
It's not a an interview, just

582
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,680
like with him and the people
that are part of his life or

583
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,080
that became a part of his life
through his travels.

584
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,560
He is storytelling and I think
it's something that I just want

585
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,320
to play a little piece of it
because here's why I'm so proud.

586
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,800
It's because he didn't know a
thing about how to podcast.

587
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,120
He educated himself.
He found resources like me and

588
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,760
found other resources online and
he put together something really

589
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,280
I'm really impressed with.
The audio quality is good.

590
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,560
The sound design is really
impressive.

591
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,760
I'm going to just play like 2
minutes of it for you and it's

592
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:05,760
called Go and Find out and the
podcaster is Johnny Wright.

593
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:12,920
Here it is.
Leaving it all most of my life

594
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,080
has been a series of
experiments.

595
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,600
Not the kind in labs with white
coats and microscopes, but

596
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,160
experiments with my body, my
mind, and the world around me.

597
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,600
I blindfolded myself for 24
hours in a basement on a piece

598
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,440
of frayed cardboard.
I painted blueberry jam and Oreo

599
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,280
pie onto my T-shirt.
For months.

600
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,680
I tried to touch the back of my
head to my heel.

601
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,720
I was my own lab rat.
What would happen if I dropped

602
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,760
out of school to study the
history of cinema?

603
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,800
What would happen at this meal
if I were to only speak with my

604
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,720
eyes?
What would happen if I broke

605
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,440
with the tiny assumptions of
normal life to see what lived

606
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:58,400
outside them?
But somewhere along the way.

607
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,640
I stopped asking at some point,
without realizing it.

608
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,159
I'd let myself settle the
experiment stopped.

609
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:12,600
The questions got quieter and
life once.

610
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:17,520
Full of unpredictable edges.
Started feeling manageable,

611
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:22,400
comfortable.
And that was starting to terrify

612
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,960
me.
Because the world isn't flat.

613
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,719
It isn't shallow, it has depth,
it has layers.

614
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,719
And if I stayed here, if I
stayed comfortable, uncurious,

615
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:40,239
afraid I might never reach below
the surface, I'm going to stop

616
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,679
right there.
I don't know about you, but I'm

617
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:45,639
really impressed for somebody
who's never podcasted before,

618
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,480
this is really such great
storytelling.

619
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,679
And you know, he, he does
interview people, He interviews

620
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,560
his mom.
But again, it's not just AQ and

621
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,120
a back and forth typical
interview.

622
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,360
I say he interviews his mom
because that was the first

623
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,760
interview I heard when I started
listening to his episode.

624
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,000
And he'll tell the story and
then all of a sudden you'll hear

625
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,280
his mom adding to that story.
And then when she's done adding

626
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,240
to it, he'll be like, oh, by the
way, that's my mom, you know,

627
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:15,800
And then it'll he'll continue it
on.

628
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,280
But he's he's telling the story
from the sound bites of the

629
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,640
different interviews.
That is a beautiful thing.

630
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,040
In my opinion.
It makes it different than what

631
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,880
are what so many podcasts are
out there.

632
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,680
I think extremely impressive,
massively well done, and I think

633
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,000
it just goes to show the power
of ambient sound design.

634
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,280
Like it doesn't have to be
extremely detailed, but all of

635
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:46,080
those tones, all of those, all
of that Foley extremely it it

636
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,800
really does a great job of
pointing out the moment that

637
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,880
we're in with him, right.
So it's that was really cool.

638
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,080
I just wanted to say that.
Yeah, thank you.

639
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,360
I'll definitely share this
episode with him so he can hear

640
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,760
the positive feedback.
And if he doesn't know Dominic,

641
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:06,400
that's a big compliment coming
from a 20 plus time

642
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,920
award-winning podcaster who does
a very similar style of

643
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,480
podcasting.
Janae, did you want to add

644
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,680
something?
Absolutely.

645
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,480
That was beautifully done.
And as I'm listening to it, you

646
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,480
know, I'm drawing into his
conversation through through the

647
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,600
music.
And one thing that I noticed, he

648
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:27,120
took a whole year off to learn
filmmaking and was filmmaking,

649
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,240
it's storytelling, right?
So him having that experience

650
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:35,000
already, I think would have
massively helped them do

651
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,040
podcasting the same way.
I love that.

652
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,880
Yeah.
Thank you, Janae.

653
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:41,320
Appreciate that.
So yeah, that's called go and

654
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,800
find out.
And he's already got, he reached

655
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,560
out to me to say, hey, Mark, I'm
really excited.

656
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,200
I want you to hear what I've
done.

657
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,240
Thanks for all the help you gave
me.

658
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:52,040
And yeah, now he's 6 episodes
in.

659
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,400
And if you want to check it out
again, go and find out Johnny

660
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,640
Wright and we'll put that in our
show notes as well.

661
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,120
Does anybody want to add
anything, share a podcast?

662
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,040
I know we've got Kate on stage.
Kate, did you want to play

663
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,680
along, share a podcast that
maybe is new to you?

664
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,280
Or did you have something else
entirely you wanted to ask or

665
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,680
share?
Hi, good morning, everyone.

666
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:21,760
Yeah, two things, Two things.
One at what a beautiful podcast.

667
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,560
Oh my gosh.
It felt very like almost like

668
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,640
This American Life S, which is
amazing for someone who's never

669
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,240
done it before.
Of course, guess what?

670
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:33,960
I have a question.
Go.

671
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,040
Ahead OK, so I have found a
couple of podcasts that I really

672
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,320
like, and one of the things that
I started recognizing was, you

673
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,320
know how some people do those
and this is more like YouTube

674
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:45,920
videos, but I think they're
podcasts as well.

675
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,040
They have reaction videos of
things.

676
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,160
Like there's this.
One guy that does a lot of

677
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,280
reaction videos to like a song
and he has like 1,000,000 of

678
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,360
subscribers.
He's a, he's a musician.

679
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,560
And what I'm curious is I wanted
to take pieces.

680
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,680
I don't want to do a reaction
video, but I wanted to take

681
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:11,440
pieces of songs and play them
and talk about the just how it

682
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,320
relates to creativity and
poetry.

683
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,360
But being able to take those
songs, and I don't know how

684
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:23,800
these reaction videos take, take
musician songs and then play

685
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,880
them on their channel.
Like isn't that a copyright

686
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,680
thing?
Like what can you use and not

687
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,680
use?
Yeah, good question.

688
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,200
And so first, I could actually
speak a little bit to this

689
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,280
because it's coincidentally, my
daughter works for a music

690
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,560
publisher.
And one of the main things she

691
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,600
does is So what happens, she
works with YouTube a lot.

692
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:50,240
And what happens is, is that the
music that's under their

693
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:56,120
company's label publishing, if a
podcast, if a YouTube video is

694
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,120
using one of their songs, what
my daughter's doing is basically

695
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,920
saying, yeah, that's one of our
songs.

696
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,600
And she's making sure that their
company gets properly

697
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,280
compensated for it.
They're not going after the

698
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,760
YouTube for using it, but they
are making sure that, you know,

699
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,240
they're basically ads get added
into that video because then

700
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,880
YouTube collects the money from
the ads and the publisher

701
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,120
collects that money.
So in some ways there are

702
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,880
companies publishing big name
music out there that you can use

703
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:36,120
on YouTube videos, but I think
it's it's unclear as to all the

704
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,640
time as to which ones to use.
So honestly, I think it's a

705
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,960
slippery slope to do something
like that without knowing the

706
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,720
rights to that music, without
having the rights to that music.

707
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:54,680
I think it's a slippery slope
because YouTube may just mark it

708
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,600
as a copyright issue that
happens with this very show all

709
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,240
the time because of our theme
music.

710
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:02,600
Because it is licensed, I have
the rights to it, but.

711
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:06,760
They see it as music that's
officially published by a

712
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,000
musician and so they mark it as
a copyright issue.

713
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,720
I could go and say tell them I
have it, I have rights to play

714
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:16,680
it.
I just don't care because just

715
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,160
because it's marked as a
copyright issue doesn't mean I'm

716
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,600
going to get in trouble from the
musician or from YouTube.

717
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,560
It just means that it's not
going to play in certain

718
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,320
countries because of that
copyright issue.

719
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,480
So I would personally avoid
doing it.

720
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:37,240
Otherwise you could try to get
away with it by playing 5 to 10

721
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:40,680
seconds of the song.
But I I'm sure Amanda can speak

722
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,480
a little bit to this too because
they're playing music all the

723
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:48,320
time on their show and I know
Chris has has to work hard for

724
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,240
that.
Go ahead, Amanda.

725
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,400
So it kind of varies how YouTube
or how, I guess artists in the

726
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,880
publisher companies handle it.
So on YouTube, YouTube's pretty

727
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,200
good at grasping even the
smallest amount of music as a

728
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,400
copyright thing.
And so we at least want the

729
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,560
Chris has this form, he has to
appeal it all the time.

730
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,480
So we get the rights restored.
It just can't be monetized

731
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,840
essentially.
So it kind of goes with the

732
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,560
strategy you want behind putting
the music in there and do you

733
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,640
want that video to be monetized
and, and whatnot.

734
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,160
But on the other social channels
like Facebook and Instagram, if

735
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,760
we're monetizing on those, we
just have to share ad revenue

736
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,840
with them.
So we'll get a notice like an

737
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,040
alert that says, you know, we
have a copyright infringement or

738
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,600
something like that, however it
says it.

739
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,000
And then we just have to go in
and say I accept like revenue

740
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,840
share.
So that way they're getting

741
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,920
proper money for it, but we're
also getting our shares.

742
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,920
So especially on Facebook, it's
very generous that it can be

743
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,160
used.
The artist just wants a little

744
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,360
money to you know as well, and
that seems super fair.

745
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,880
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Thank you for that, Amanda.

746
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,080
Kate, does that answer your
question?

747
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,720
Yeah.
Look, it's basically one of two

748
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:05,280
things.
It's really either don't use it

749
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,480
or be prepared to do some work
to be allowed to use it.

750
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,240
And Ashley, by the way, it looks
like she wants to chime in.

751
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,800
Go ahead, Ashley.
I just wanted to say everything

752
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,200
you said, Mark, but there is
also a service that you can

753
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,760
subscribe to Kate.
It's called Licked and I will

754
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,960
put the link in the chat.
And it is a subscription service

755
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,120
in which you can use License
Music.

756
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,600
And apparently it's supposed to
be cleared so that you don't get

757
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,240
flagged when you upload it.
I don't know how vast their

758
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:40,800
catalog is, but I was talking to
somebody the other day who uses

759
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,240
it.
And they do have like, I guess

760
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,640
you could say, for lack of a
better word, right of the mill

761
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,360
commercial music widely known
available.

762
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,720
So maybe that'll help you.
That's a great tip.

763
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:53,640
Thank you, Ashley.
And that's called Licked.

764
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,000
And yeah, we'll put that in the
show notes as well for our

765
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,480
podcast audience.
OK.

766
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:03,400
So listen, we have about 15
minutes ish and I it's Friday,

767
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,640
so I want to do wins from this
past week.

768
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,160
And I think we'll try to do it
rapid fire.

769
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,600
I will invite anybody listening
in the audience live right now

770
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,560
to come on up.
If you want to share a win from

771
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,040
your week.
I don't care if you think it's

772
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,960
big, if you think it's small,
whatever it is, come on up and

773
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,600
let's celebrate it.
And bonus points if it's

774
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:28,840
something podcast related and
we'll do this popcorn style or

775
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,240
actually, no, we will do it
rapid entire style where we'll

776
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:37,680
just go straight down the line.
I will do my best not to comment

777
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,720
like I always do.
It's just so that everybody has

778
00:43:40,720 --> 00:43:44,120
a moment to be able to share.
So what we'll do is Amanda will

779
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,800
start and then she'll pass it to
Dr. and Dr. will pass it on to

780
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,800
Sid.
Pull down your screen here on

781
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,520
Clubhouse to refresh and see the
proper order.

782
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,760
And let's kick it off because
now I just pulled to refresh and

783
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,640
it's Sid who is appearing first.
So Sid, good morning again.

784
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,600
Please share a win and then pass
it on to Amanda.

785
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,960
Dude, I'm like pulling the
screen down, Pulling the screen

786
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,560
down.
Like Amanda is not in front of

787
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,360
me, she's behind me.
Yeah, My God.

788
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,160
My win for the week is just the
success of our new venture and

789
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,400
how well it's going.
We've got about 20 customers

790
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,520
already got our contracts worked
out yesterday.

791
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,280
I'll be sending out the
contracts for people to sign.

792
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:29,440
We've had great sign ups on our
e-mail newsletter, great follows

793
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,720
on our LinkedIn page and we've
had people reach out to the

794
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:35,080
contact us to learn more about
our program.

795
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,440
So I'm just really excited about
how well that new business is

796
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,960
going.
So that's my win for the week.

797
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:44,160
Amanda, take it away.
The win for me this week was I

798
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,640
have been working with an older
gentleman that's been coming

799
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,280
into my store to drop off some
items that he makes and it's

800
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,760
just beautiful craftsmanship,
woodworking.

801
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,560
And I did a video yesterday for
my Facebook page for the store.

802
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,960
And then I also put it on my
personal on TikTok.

803
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,120
And the country has just
accepted the story of this

804
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:09,240
gentleman and it's on track to
get 20,000 views, which for me,

805
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:13,440
I've had more, but for some
reason this particular video

806
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,120
just seems so important.
He's going to be 90 in July.

807
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,120
And he had said yesterday he's
like, well, the goal was to

808
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,480
travel country and sell these.
And that's just not going to

809
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,000
happen.
And I said, but it will you

810
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,120
happen to know somebody who has
people all over the country

811
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,040
looking to support people that I
know and want to like support.

812
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:37,800
So the country has just checked
in and said seeing this from

813
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,360
Alabama, said seeing it from
Texas, and people are just

814
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,120
wanting to buy these beautiful
pieces of woodworking.

815
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,720
And it's just so, so special.
I can't wait to call him and

816
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:51,480
say, listen, maybe you didn't
physically make it over the

817
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,920
country, but your products have.
And I just think that's so

818
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,400
special.
So I'm just grateful for the

819
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,760
opportunity to be able to do
that for him this week.

820
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,080
Congratulations, I'm going to
share the link and pass the mic

821
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,160
to Ashley.
Not so cool Amanda.

822
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:12,520
My win for this week is I got to
perform my original music at the

823
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:18,640
73rd annual Florida Folk Fest.
It is the oldest and longest

824
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,800
running festival of its kind.
I air United States.

825
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:27,640
I got to see so much music.
My music was very well received.

826
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,760
I got to play my song there
about river right in front of

827
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,840
the Suwannee River.
And that's my win for the week.

828
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:41,760
OK, my win for the week is that
today is onboarding for a new

829
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:47,880
client, a launch client.
And the topic is very sexy.

830
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,680
Here we go.
Industrial automation.

831
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:57,840
Oh, doesn't it just get you?
So yeah, that's my that is my

832
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,520
win for the day.
And Dominic, what you got?

833
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,920
Dr. You know how much industrial
automation really gets my gears

834
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,560
going?
Baby come.

835
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,280
Up and.
Get my gears.

836
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,520
Gears.
I got it, absolutely.

837
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,920
Sorry, bad joke.
Really quickly.

838
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,640
I'll share a quick tip about
promotion and then also I'll

839
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:20,280
share with if you can get your
podcast featured in pod news, do

840
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:25,120
it because I definitely received
a bump when that happened.

841
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,640
So you do with that information
what you will when for the week.

842
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:35,360
I can't share all detail, but
there may be a big feature for

843
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,240
Mental Health Rewritten here
coming soon.

844
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,160
And just to give you a clue, if
you go to the Apple podcast feed

845
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,560
and look at Mental Health
Rewritten, the pod art shows up

846
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,360
a little differently than normal
pod art.

847
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,200
So I'll leave it at that.
Very interesting.

848
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,600
Congratulations.
Go ahead Janae, when the week.

849
00:47:54,600 --> 00:48:00,320
I have recorded podcasts that
really inspired me this week and

850
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,600
just received a trailer for the
podcast releasing next week.

851
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:08,200
For past Lens episode, so super
excited to share that on

852
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:13,800
LinkedIn and other platforms.
And I got to upload about 18

853
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,640
different videos that I recorded
last year so I can start pushing

854
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,360
them out as well.
So just a tiny bit of little

855
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,640
ones.
We record so much content.

856
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,360
We forget to share it, so moving
the needle on that one.

857
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,480
And I can't wait to use what
Dominic just shared about pod

858
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,240
news.
Maybe they'll pick Pat Flynn's

859
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:34,960
episode.
Now.

860
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,120
That's a great one.
I would say to submit or get get

861
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:39,960
on their radar.
Yeah, absolutely.

862
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,280
All right.
We're going to go to Kate.

863
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,400
Then we're going to go to
Yvonne.

864
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,000
And I will wrap it up with my
wins.

865
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,120
Go ahead, Kate.
My win was yesterday was

866
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,640
actually my podcast recording
day and my one of my guests did

867
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,280
not show up and I was so
disappointed.

868
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,600
So instead of doing an
interview, I did the most random

869
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,240
episode that I was like, I'm
actually kind of nervous to put

870
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:02,960
out.
But you know what?

871
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,000
I'm going to put it out because
it was fun to do and hopefully

872
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,800
it will be valuable to other
people.

873
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,840
Feels on point for a show called
Create for no reason.

874
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,960
It's OK that it's random.
I love that.

875
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,680
Thank you, Kate.
And by the way, Kate, check your

876
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,480
inbox.
Our friend Tyler sent you

877
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,840
something a day or two ago.
I just want to make sure you

878
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,800
know it's on your radar.
All right, Yvonne, let's hear

879
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,360
it.
Share a win or two with us.

880
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:32,960
My win is completely a mom when
we are continuing with the end

881
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,320
of year for my kiddo that's
graduating high school on all

882
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,960
kinds of lasts and celebrations
around that.

883
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,160
And yeah, that's that's, that's
my win.

884
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,440
Congratulations, Yvonne and
congratulations to all of you

885
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,320
for your wins.
Appreciate you sharing and I

886
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,280
will share mine before I let you
go.

887
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:58,520
So this week I'd say a win for
me is that I made a ton of

888
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,800
personal one-on-one requests to
people that I know personally in

889
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,800
this space that I want speaking
at the empowered podcasting

890
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,880
conference.
And I have more people I'm on my

891
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,440
list to ask as well.
But I what the reason why that's

892
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,920
a win is AI feel like we, we
don't have as many speaker

893
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,920
applications as we did last year
at this point in the process.

894
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:28,680
And it's a win for me because I
took the time to do it to reach

895
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,600
out because a lot of us, I think
when we're told, you know, a

896
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:37,000
greater effective way to do to
get more people interested in

897
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,400
say, your podcast, I, I tell
people one-on-one is really

898
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,800
powerful to have to reach out
to.

899
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:48,520
Actually, in my case, I left
voice messages and it resonates

900
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:50,600
with the person on the other
end.

901
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,240
It means something to them.
It's not just a, hey, listen to

902
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:56,360
my podcast or in this case, hey,
I want you to speak.

903
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:01,040
I shared my heartfelt reasons
for why I was asking people to

904
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,880
speak.
And I don't think I've gotten 1

905
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,600
rejection since then.
I've seen those people now

906
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,480
submit those applications and
I'm really excited about, for

907
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,280
lack of a better term, the
talent that we're going to have

908
00:51:13,720 --> 00:51:17,440
at the conference this year.
Another win for the Empowered

909
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:22,520
Podcasting Conference is that
Chris Baglio, Amanda's good

910
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,480
friend and Co host, he is now on
board with the Empowered

911
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,760
Podcasting Conference.
Helping me and Dan were Heidi

912
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:35,760
who's here with us today on
sales, finding sponsors for the

913
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,080
event.
And it looks like we've got a

914
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:43,240
local podcast company in, I say
local in the Charlotte, NC area

915
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,720
who's interested.
And I actually told them I would

916
00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:51,520
be happy to drive a couple hours
out just to go sit down and talk

917
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,640
with them about it.
But they are interested.

918
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:58,360
So I'm excited that we're seeing
progress, we're getting interest

919
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,880
and things continue to come
together for the Empowered

920
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,280
Podcasting Conference.
So those are some of my yes.

921
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:10,800
What's that link again if people
want to apply to be a speaker?

922
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,880
Thank you for asking.
That is

923
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:17,320
empoweredpodcasting.com/speakers
at

924
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,720
poweredpodcasting.com/speakers.
If you want to apply, by all

925
00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:24,520
means apply.
And if you're not sure you, you

926
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,440
know, if you've got the itch but
you're not sure what you want to

927
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,000
talk about, reach out to me, DM
me, e-mail me

928
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:36,160
markmarc@ironicmedia.com and
I'll be happy to talk it through

929
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,160
with you.
Really, I will say this, it's

930
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,640
just about anything that you
believe that you know, your

931
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,680
knowledge, your expertise that
could help a content creator.

932
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,000
It could be something on mental
health.

933
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,040
It doesn't necessarily have to
be directly related to creating

934
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,120
content, but our mental health
is just as important as anyone

935
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,520
else's is.
And I think that if we don't

936
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,440
keep our mental health in check,
if we are not taking care of

937
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,840
ourselves mentally, that's the
recipe for burnout.

938
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:08,040
That's a recipe for failure.
And sure, you learn a lot of

939
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,520
lessons from failure and I
believe you learn a lot, even

940
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,880
more by actually pushing through
learning about your personal

941
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,200
challenges and learning how to
work with them, learning in some

942
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,280
cases how to get rid of them
all, depending on what those

943
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,200
challenges are.
So yeah,

944
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:29,080
empoweredpodcasting.com/speakers,
if you want to come and share

945
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:34,440
with a really close, tight knit,
intimate community, I'd love to

946
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:35,960
have you there.
And if you haven't gotten your

947
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,880
ticket yet, just go to
empoweredpodcasting.com and

948
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,840
please purchase it at your
earliest convenience.

949
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,440
Don't wait till the last minute.
It really throws us for a loop,

950
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,040
right?
We don't know exactly how many

951
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,720
people are coming if you wait,
If everyone's waiting till the

952
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:54,120
last minute, we don't know
really the full attendance until

953
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,240
closer to the event.
And that just makes it a lot

954
00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:58,440
more challenging for us.
So if you're planning on going,

955
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,880
please go ahead and get your
ticket and at the very least put

956
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,480
it in your calendar so you don't
forget about it and then get

957
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:09,600
double booked later.
OK, so we are back Monday 7:00

958
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:14,560
AM Eastern Time as we are every
Monday through Friday live here

959
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,560
on Clubhouse, live here on
YouTube as well.

960
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,440
And if you can't make any of the
lives, no problem, just catch

961
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,560
the podcast on your favorite
podcast platform just a couple

962
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:28,560
hours after we go live.
So until Monday, make it a great

963
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,320
weekend everybody, take care.
