Good morning, podcasting.

00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,480
Today is Friday the 13th, 2025,

Certainly a full house.

00:01:38,690 --> 00:01:43,800

Clubhouse or maybe on YouTube as

23
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,720
Oh, and Alex Baelish has also
joined us this morning.
24
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,280
First, thank you all for holding
down the Fort, especially UDR
25
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,760
for taking the lead yesterday in
my absence, had a migraine.
26
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,520
It's been a mentally and
physically exhausting week for
27
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,040
me.
And I guess it all caught up
28
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,480
with me yesterday with that
migraine.
29
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,560
I got up, did my usual early
morning routine, at least I
30
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,800
started to until I get the the
warning signs of a migraine
31
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,200
where my vision just completely
goes to crap and I all of a
32
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,000
sudden I'm not really able to
see, especially peripherally.
33
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,840
And the best part about that, if
there is a bright side to it,
34
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,920
it's it is a fair warning.
And I can usually pop a couple
35
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:55,360
of Excedrin migraines and that
will that will make the pain
36
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,080
more tolerable.
And because if I don't, it is
37
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280
really unbearable.
So that is something that at
38
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,880
least helps.
But it does make me feel a
39
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,320
little drunk afterwards.
I feel a little Spacey, a little
40
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,880
cloudy and felt like that.
Have you tried any?
41
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Have you tried any of the
remedies that people come up
42
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:17,640
with?
How many remedies have you been?
43
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760
That's a great question.
And I don't know that I have
44
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,800
tried many remedies actually.
Have you heard of any?
45
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,080
I have heard a few but I just
can't now that you.
46
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Put me on the spot you put.
Me on the spot.
47
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,280
Yeah, I haven't tried any.
I'll go to Amanda because I know
48
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Amanda suffers from migraines
from time to time.
49
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,680
Actually, I think she told me
she suffered from one this week.
50
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,760
Amanda, what do you do when you
get your migraines?
51
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,240
So I get the two different kind.
I get the kind that you have and
52
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,280
you're so right.
When that vision starts going, I
53
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,760
can medicate.
And then when it's the other, it
54
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,440
just can take you totally
offline.
55
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,800
Like a lot of the remedies are
either like ice or shower or
56
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,440
peppermint oils and stuff like
that.
57
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,480
And I've not found anything and
honestly, even medication that
58
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,840
takes it away completely kind of
has to run its course for me.
59
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,640
But the first time I got an
ocular 1, I actually, I've been
60
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,760
getting migraines my whole life.
But the first time I got the one
61
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,880
where I couldn't sleep.
Do you know the first thing I
62
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,040
thought was this is so I'm bred
for me.
63
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,720
I may never see my child's face
again.
64
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,120
Wow, you really go to a dark
side.
65
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,760
I didn't know what was
happening.
66
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,680
I thought I was going blind.
Yeah, it's really scary.
67
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,840
How long have you had them?
Well, the first, I've had them
68
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:39,600
like my regular migraines since
I was probably like 8 or 10, but
69
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,680
the ocular ones didn't start
until I was probably like 27 or
70
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,720
28 and almost 2.
And he was the most adorable
71
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,600
thing.
So I thought I was going blind
72
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,280
and I was like, I might never
see my child again.
73
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,400
Not that I'm going blind, just
that I wouldn't be able to see
74
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:57,280
my baby's face.
Yeah, it is scary.
75
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:00,720
It is, especially for the first
time when you your site just
76
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,520
starts going in and out.
It's.
77
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Yeah, you don't know what to do
with yourself.
78
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,560
I get it.
All right.
79
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,280
Well, thank you again, all for
doing that.
80
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,880
And that actually leads me to a
little announcement.
81
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,600
I've been thinking this week a
lot, obviously dealing with some
82
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,440
physical and mental challenges.
I've got a lot going on, a lot
83
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,920
of balls up in the air, if you
will.
84
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,240
And you know, one of them being
the Empowered podcasting
85
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,640
conference come in another being
this show every single day and
86
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,760
all of that on top of my
day-to-day business, helping
87
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,320
other podcasters, podcast,
keeping it simple.
88
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,320
So I've decided for this summer
and I'm open to feedback.
89
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,080
I've decided for just the summer
Mondays we are taking off.
90
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:55,080
I need that extra day to really
prepare my week appropriately.
91
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,120
So I think that that's what
we're going to do.
92
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,640
And I'm is how does everybody
feel about that?
93
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,920
Is that OK with the gang?
Because I haven't really sprung
94
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,200
this on most of you yet.
Well, you're the boss, so.
95
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,280
OK.
Thanks, Alex.
96
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,000
Appreciate that.
Exactly.
97
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,200
What are we going to say?
No, don't do it.
98
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,800
You have to come in.
No, I was like you.
99
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,160
Know that's what.
You need to do, that's what you
100
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520
need to do.
And Dr. just wants to be a star
101
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,440
anyway, so it'll be the Dr.
Show.
102
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,840
Yeah, well, I don't think we
will do any show.
103
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,720
Coaxing.
It took a little bit of.
104
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,400
Coaxing.
Oh yeah, like we're twisting her
105
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,080
arm like, oh, I'll do it.
No.
106
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,280
Sometimes we do have to twist
DRS arm.
107
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:40,000
She gets a little hesitant when
I asked her to take over for me.
108
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:40,880
You could.
You could.
109
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,680
You know what you could do?
You could bribe her with eggs.
110
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,640
Oh yes, yes, or bribe her with
cooking eggs.
111
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,280
I'll cook her eggs for her.
Just like get her eggs because
112
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,000
I've got to tell you, there's a
whole market for eggs these
113
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,440
days.
I mean, like 1/2 a dozen eggs
114
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,480
probably make it.
You probably get off cheat.
115
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,200
That's right, Dan.
Good morning.
116
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,720
Welcome to the stage.
Did you want to respond to my
117
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,440
announcement?
I mean, yeah, first of all, if
118
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,200
that's what you feel is best, I
don't see anything wrong with
119
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,440
it.
However, I would say exactly
120
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,640
what Alex said.
There are probably a handful of
121
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,920
people who would be happy to
give you Monday off.
122
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Yeah.
Well, I appreciate the
123
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,720
opportunity to take off and
everybody being so willing and
124
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,840
assuring that that's OK that we
can, we can do that.
125
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,040
And look, if everybody wants to
keep it going without me on
126
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,720
Mondays, I'm open to that.
But we, you know, we got to make
127
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,440
sure of that.
So as of now, I'm saying Mondays
128
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,520
over the summer when we get back
to September, we will go to the
129
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,880
usual five days a week.
But as of now, no Monday shows
130
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,800
starting this very Monday.
And by the way, Speaking of days
131
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,920
of the week, happy Friday the
13th, everybody.
132
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,880
I don't really practice Friday
the 13th anymore.
133
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,240
And I know that a lot of people
are superstitious and that they
134
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,960
do.
So hopefully you aren't too
135
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,640
superstitious today and you get
out there and do all the things
136
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,200
you want to do and not let this
day affect that for.
137
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,040
This one practice Friday,
that's.
138
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,520
True.
I mean, you know, some people
139
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,640
may.
You.
140
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,240
You beat.
Me to it, Nick, because what do
141
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,559
you do?
Go by Blake and just wait to be
142
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280
killed.
I think it's funny that Nick is
143
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,000
asking because Nick, I know he
and his wife are big fans of
144
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,400
Halloween and scary movies.
And I do know people for Friday
145
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,280
the 13th that will make it a
point to watch scary movies on
146
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,160
that day, including the original
Friday the 13th movie.
147
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,720
So I guess that's how you would
how you would celebrate it.
148
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,080
Go ahead, Sid.
Good morning, everybody.
149
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,960
There's a lot of chat going on
about the emojis and I just
150
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,200
wanted to say they have moved so
that when you if you want an
151
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,040
emoji, you have to double tap on
that person's face.
152
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,040
So if I wanted to heart what you
were saying, Mark, I have to
153
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,520
double tap on your face.
And it should be noted that the
154
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,200
hand raise emoji is gone, right?
Oh, look, somebody just double
155
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,960
tapped on my face and did that
heart thing.
156
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,800
OK, but there's no hand raise
emoji anymore.
157
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,400
Oh, wait.
Dr. Where'd you find?
158
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,320
It well, that's normal.
Mine's normal too.
159
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,920
Mine's normal.
OK, there's an update that came
160
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,240
yesterday and you haven't
updated, that's why.
161
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,240
So I did an update yesterday and
so.
162
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,840
But actually I see the hand
raising, I see the little
163
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,080
clipboard down the bottom.
So I think what Sid is referring
164
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,840
to is the emojis.
So here on Clubhouse, if we
165
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,240
originally, if we tap and hold
our own faces, we can express an
166
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,200
emoji based on whatever
somebody's saying.
167
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,440
So somebody says something
really powerful, we might hit
168
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,040
that heart emoji.
And that's how we raise hands
169
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,400
when we're on stage.
We hit that emoji of a hand
170
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,760
waving, but that seems to be
missing.
171
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,440
According to Sid, this actually
leads into a good discussion
172
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,040
because Jonathan had put out on
our Facebook group, in the
173
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,320
Empowered Podcasting Facebook
group that chatter, which is the
174
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Clubhouse.
I guess we would call it a
175
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,360
Clubhouse competitor built by
people who were original
176
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,920
clubhousers and they felt that
when Clubhouse started making a
177
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,080
bunch of changes, they felt like
we need something new and
178
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,280
different.
And we've been talking about
179
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,840
Chatter here and there.
I've done some stuff here and
180
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,040
there on Chatter and they've
just released their Two Point O
181
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280
version.
And so far it looks pretty
182
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,480
sweet.
And Jonathan has been part of
183
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
the OG group, part of the Beta
group from the get go.
184
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,640
He's been on there building a
community over there, and there
185
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,400
are lots of people over there as
well, by the way.
186
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:16,280
And it's certainly tempting and
of interest to potentially move
187
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,120
this show over there.
And so I'm going to 1st
188
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,360
encourage everybody and we'll
give you some reasons for
189
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,120
encouragement here in a minute
as we ask Jonathan some
190
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,880
questions about it.
But I encourage you to get the
191
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,280
app and if you already have it,
remove it, uninstall it, and
192
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,360
then reinstall it.
Because I noticed that when I
193
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,360
updated the app that I already
had existing on my phone and
194
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,920
tried to sign back into it, it
wasn't working.
195
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,760
So I deleted it from my phone
and reinstalled it and then
196
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:53,840
everything worked brilliantly.
So Jonathan, let's start here
197
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,680
with you and discuss this new
app, or at least the new version
198
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,920
of the app.
You've been using it since the
199
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,080
beta, like I said.
So what do you think is the
200
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:10,440
biggest improvement to version 2
point O compared to the previous
201
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,760
versions?
Less glitches, although there
202
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,800
are still some glitches because
it is a new version.
203
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,280
We're working through some
stuff.
204
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,760
I know they're doing a couple
updates today that they're
205
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,440
pushing through, but I think
honestly the the biggest thing
206
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:31,160
is you've got a community there.
So when if you guys join, I put
207
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,640
the link in the Facebook group
that'll bring you right into
208
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,160
Empowered Podcasting and you'll
automatically be a member of
209
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,120
that group.
And that group will have a wall
210
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,760
where we can post just like in
Facebook, anything that we want
211
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,520
to talk about or anything that's
going on.
212
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,160
So right now there's just a
welcome like thing on the wall.
213
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,160
There's also a chat for the
entire group.
214
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,760
So you can have a actually
chatting with the members.
215
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,240
Everybody that's a member of the
group will get the notification
216
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,560
in the chat when you put
something in the chat.
217
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:06,560
So there's a group chat as well
as the wall, and then you can
218
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,000
run your rooms and you'll have
all the features that we have
219
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,080
here and more because you can do
video there, which is awesome
220
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,640
actually.
Yeah, so as I say right now you
221
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400
can see my video if you go to
the YouTube link.
222
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,080
Well, using the Chatter app, I
will be able to stream my video
223
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,920
right there to the room.
So just like you're in this room
224
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,680
right now live, you'll be able
to see me there.
225
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,840
And I'm seeing someone in the
chat here.
226
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,480
Kathy says don't switch.
Kathy doesn't like the new app.
227
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,760
And look, I think, I think just
like a lot of new apps, they
228
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,440
start out a little glitchy.
They start out with some things
229
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,160
maybe you don't love.
And the thing that I'm going to
230
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,200
do first is I'll say I'm not
going to just jump right into it
231
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,760
and make the switch.
If anything, we will ease into
232
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,680
it if that is ends up being the
plan.
233
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,320
But I think what we'll do is
we'll play with it for a little
234
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,640
while and see if we like it, see
if it has more benefits than
235
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:13,120
hang ups.
I'll call it.
236
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,720
You know what Kathy is saying
over there in our chat.
237
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,560
So yeah, we we won't do it
easily.
238
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,040
We will make sure we take our
time with it.
239
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Jonathan, with that video, can
we stream to other platforms?
240
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,240
Yes.
OK, so I'd be able to go to
241
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,520
YouTube simultaneously while I
was doing it in chatter.
242
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,080
Once, and I already have Studio,
so I'd probably be able to do it
243
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,440
for you now, but once it's set
up that everybody has Studio and
244
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,680
Chatter Pro, you'll be able to
stream to multiple locations,
245
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,520
including any place that has a
key streaming queue.
246
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,200
You'll be able to enter that
manually for yourself and put
247
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,000
stream all to all those
locations.
248
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,880
Now are those that you said
studio and you mentioned one
249
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,680
other thing, what was?
It Chatter Pro.
250
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,480
Chatter Pro.
So are those desktop apps?
251
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,760
I know somebody like Dr. prefers
using these apps as desktop
252
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,640
apps.
Are they available via desktop?
253
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,960
Studio is a full desktop app.
Once it yes.
254
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Once it launches, I think it's a
few weeks out.
255
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,880
A few weeks out.
OK, All right, well, that's good
256
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,480
to know.
OK, especially because like I
257
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,200
said, if we're going to ease
into it, there's time for people
258
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720
like Dr. who prefer those apps
instead.
259
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,920
Let's see.
So how is the video quality?
260
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,560
Because I know that early
reviews of Chatter 2 Point O
261
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,640
have it's had a lot of praise
for the audio clarity, the 4K
262
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,440
video support.
From your experience, does it
263
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,840
hold up in live sessions?
It holds up in live sessions and
264
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,280
last night in one of the rooms
they had like 20 some odd people
265
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,160
on camera and there was, it was
smooth.
266
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,480
I was very impressed with that,
yeah.
267
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,560
So people are even using it
similarly to how they might use
268
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,400
Zoom.
I finally got on it only took me
269
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,200
3 months.
Yeah, there you go.
270
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,720
That's that's.
I literally I haven't been able
271
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,960
to get on and I'm glad you say
to uninstall it and reinstall it
272
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,320
because it was not letting me
get on, so that's awesome.
273
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Yeah, good, Awesome.
I encourage everybody to,
274
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,160
especially those of you who are
regulars of this show, get that
275
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,960
Chatter app, check it out, play
around with it a little bit and
276
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,520
see what you think.
And I'm going to be very open to
277
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,320
feedback from everybody.
I'm not going to move the show
278
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,600
to another app if the majority
of our regulars say they don't
279
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,640
like it.
Now, I'll want to dig in deeper
280
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,280
what they do and don't like
about it to see if it's
281
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,520
something we can work through or
work around.
282
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,560
But ultimately, this is a
community and I think it's
283
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,800
important that we do this as a
community if that's what we
284
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,720
decide to do.
Let's see.
285
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,120
Any other questions for
Jonathan?
286
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:07,160
I know also that Chatter has.
I think what I read is that it
287
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:12,040
offers ticketed events, I know
it has subscriber groups, and I
288
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,920
think I heard something about
super chats.
289
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,400
Have you tried any of these?
Know anything about these?
290
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,200
John, all the monetization is up
and running right now.
291
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,319
Super chats are really easy in
in your chat, in your room,
292
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,720
there's a Little Rock.
It's actually rocket chat is
293
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,960
what they're calling it.
There's a little rocket next to
294
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,720
the the bar and people can pay,
you know, tip you for whatever
295
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,920
or have a comment that they want
up at the top of the room, you
296
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,560
know, kind of up at the top of
the room with the rocket chat.
297
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,880
So, and they're, they do have
ticketed events.
298
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:47,400
I have not tried that, nor have
I done subscript subscribers
299
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,920
yet, but you can have
subscribers to your channel
300
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,040
which pay a certain amount and
get special features there.
301
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,240
Interesting.
OK, cool.
302
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,800
I mean, who knows, maybe from
the Empowered Podcasting
303
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,360
conference, we would do
something like that with Chatter
304
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:04,560
and do do it as a ticketed event
for those who can't be there in
305
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,920
person.
Maybe we'll stream some of it
306
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,520
through Chatter and have people
join in that way.
307
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,760
That would be kind of cool.
Does it, Jonathan, do you know
308
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,640
if it does anything as far as
analytics, what analytics or
309
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,600
creators support tools, I'll
call them, stand out to you.
310
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,240
So chatter pro will have
analytics.
311
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:29,200
I have not signed signed up for
my chatter pro account.
312
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,960
I know I have, I have a bunch of
free things there, but it is a
313
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,480
$20.00 a month subscription.
But obviously if you're
314
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,240
monetizing, you should be able
to pay for it pretty quick.
315
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,880
OK, gotcha.
And the personal question if so,
316
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,960
right now our group does exist.
It's the empowered podcasting
317
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,600
group over there, just like it's
a house over here on Clubhouse.
318
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,880
My question is, does it let me
change the name if I wanted to
319
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,640
let's say call it Podcasting
Morning Chat instead of
320
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,960
Empowered Podcasting?
Yes you can change the name.
321
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,480
Cool.
And you can change all the
322
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,080
settings on on it.
When you go into the group.
323
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,000
You should have because I
couldn't change anything
324
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,720
yesterday but I could post.
You should have the access to
325
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,720
make the group.
Any changes to the group?
326
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,520
OK, cool.
Awesome.
327
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,400
Does anyone have any other
questions for Jonathan regarding
328
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,040
Chatter before we get into the
mailbag question and then we'll
329
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,960
get into WINS after that?
Anyone have any questions I have
330
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,040
I.
Have a question.
331
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:35,720
So I know that there was a
component of video that was
332
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,240
being talked about before.
I haven't heard it being brought
333
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,200
up lately like for this show.
We just talked about it.
334
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,160
You must have been making some
eggs.
335
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,680
That's OK.
OK, Ashley, cut that out.
336
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,160
Yes, video is available.
It can stream and up to 4K
337
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,400
eventually.
I think that's not right away,
338
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,880
but I think that's what the pro
app or one of the the add-ons.
339
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,880
But yes, you can do that and
stream live to other platforms.
340
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,920
So there you go.
OK.
341
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,880
Will we do it for this show?
Yes, I will it will not be
342
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,800
required of all of the Co hosts
to do it, but I will do it
343
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,760
because I'm doing it anyway on
YouTube.
344
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,800
So and those Co hosts who want
to be on video will be welcome
345
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,960
to join as video component as
well.
346
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,720
So we'll find out.
But again, we're not moving
347
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,600
officially over there just yet,
but we are going to start
348
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,840
playing with it a little bit
more until we decide.
349
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,840
OK, let's move into the mailbag.
I've got a question here.
350
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,400
Let me pull this up for you.
This is from someone named
351
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,680
Kevin, Kevin R from Tempe, AZ.
Hey Mark, love the show.
352
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,960
I've been listening for a while
and it's been super helpful as I
353
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,680
level up my podcast.
I'm transitioning my setup from
354
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,720
a two person show to a three
person format and could use some
355
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,960
advice.
Right now we're working with
356
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:08,320
just one camera and 1 angle.
And I think Kevin means with the
357
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,040
two person set up, they had A1
camera, 1 angle shot and they've
358
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,240
now added a third mic, but
that's about it.
359
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:22,000
What would you recommend to help
us set up our set up both audio
360
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,640
and video wise for a three
person show?
361
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,560
Thanks for all you do, Kevin.
Thank you for the question,
362
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,520
Kevin.
So let's talk a little bit about
363
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,440
what one does for an upgrade
like this.
364
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,680
Cause surprisingly, moving from
two to three people can
365
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,520
certainly add some layers to it.
It's not as simple as just
366
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,320
sometimes it's not as simple as
just plugging in a microphone,
367
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,240
especially if you have a video
component.
368
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,920
You do want to think about what
you're going to do.
369
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,760
Are you going to keep 1 camera?
Are you going to move to two or
370
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,480
three cameras?
And what's that going to look
371
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,720
like?
And I know Janaid has joined us
372
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,640
on stage here.
When Janaid is, this is his
373
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,160
wheelhouse.
Janaid helps people build their
374
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,360
home studio.
So this will be helpful to have
375
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,720
Janaid here.
Thank you for being up here,
376
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,400
Janaid.
Let's start.
377
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,120
I'm going to try to do this
methodically instead of just a
378
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:17,360
bunch of random suggestions.
Let's first talk about some
379
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:19,160
equipment.
Janae.
380
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,720
What's your, I'll start with you
and then anybody can chime in.
381
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,840
What's your favorite budget
friendly audio interface that
382
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,880
handles 3 or more microphones?
Because we know we can't just
383
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,120
plug in microphones to most
computers.
384
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:37,240
It's not going to work that way.
You've got to have something
385
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,360
that's bringing in all the
separate channels, a third party
386
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:42,160
device.
So what?
387
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,160
What do you suggest to people,
Janae?
388
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,680
Good morning everybody, good
morning.
389
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,680
You know what gear do I use to
do this other thing?
390
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,640
And it all comes down to their
budget and the best equipment
391
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,880
right now on the market for
three plus, again, depending on
392
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:04,160
how automation, on how clean
they want the audio, of course,
393
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,640
is a Rd.
Caster Pro because it can handle
394
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,840
two to four to six microphones,
especially if you bring in
395
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,360
wireless microphones as well.
If you want to get to go with
396
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:21,600
the Pro, you can do the Duo,
which will again bring in two
397
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,600
interface mics or two XLR
microphones as well as a road go
398
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,000
wireless microphone.
So you have up to 4 inputs in
399
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,880
there as well.
So that's the first hardware,
400
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,480
yeah.
Now and I wanted to jump in and
401
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,920
also suggest the a cheaper
alternative to the road caster
402
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,560
pro like the pod track P4.
That's what I use when I'm
403
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,680
traveling and away from my home
studio and it works great.
404
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:53,680
It it has four XLR inputs, it
has four headphone outputs as
405
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,520
well, and it even has sound pads
on it, which I love the sound
406
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,720
pads.
Even though I tend to hit the
407
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,360
wrong buttons, I still love
having that at my disposal.
408
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,040
And also I'm curious if you've
heard or know anything or if
409
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,960
anybody here has heard or know
any more about the new Pod Track
410
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,760
P8, which is basically an
upgrade of the P4.
411
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,760
Have you heard anything about it
yet, Janae?
412
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,360
Yeah, so the P8 is a of course,
you know, with the number 8, it
413
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:26,520
can bring it up to 6 high gain
XLR plus two additional
414
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:32,240
microphone connections.
We are software or you know, two
415
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,760
additional tracks through you
can plug in your phone to it as
416
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,960
well as external audio music
track.
417
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,720
So that's, that's the that's the
new one.
418
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:47,000
It's it is a lot cheaper of
course 349 that people can use 9
419
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,120
sound pads.
It's a pretty good device if
420
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,800
somebody wants to get started on
audio specifically.
421
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,480
Yeah.
So it's kind of almost, I would
422
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,120
say in the middle as far as
pricing goes between the P4 and
423
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:04,080
the Roadcaster Pro as far, yeah,
as far as the pricing goes.
424
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,320
And it's got some other
additional bells and whistles
425
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,680
too.
I know like I mentioned.
426
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,640
I have a question, I have a
question about it.
427
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,720
Is it going to still be where
you have to use an SD card for
428
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,120
recording?
The P8.
429
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,040
Yeah.
I think it does require an SD
430
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,800
card and so does the Road Caster
Pro.
431
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,480
Oh, it does.
Oh, that's like the biggest, my
432
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:31,720
biggest problem with it is
trying to make sure you have the
433
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,560
right sound on the SD card.
Plus, taking the recording off
434
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,800
it, it gets a little.
I know what you're saying,
435
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,560
Ashley.
I just didn't know if there was
436
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,160
a way to just have it record
through the computer right?
437
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,000
Well, Ashley, so Ashley's asking
how can you record without an SD
438
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,760
card?
And the two ways that I
439
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,320
immediately think of is some
devices might have a built in
440
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,800
hard drive, so you don't need
the SD card.
441
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,640
And what Alex is saying, some
devices you might be able to
442
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,360
plug in and record directly to
your computer, which.
443
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,120
My, my biggest challenge, and
again, it's it's I know it's
444
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:13,120
user, user failure is trying to
figure out like which channel is
445
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:15,800
what.
And then you got to go back and
446
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,520
it's just it's a with the with
the request.
447
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,960
I mean, that's the best or the
before.
448
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,560
Yeah.
It just gets so confusing.
449
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,200
And I know it's user failure
because I know you guys.
450
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,440
I mean, I know you use it Mark
and actually uses it and I just,
451
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,360
it gets frustrating because
you're constantly trying to
452
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:35,000
figure out what's what, but
that's just probably me and it's
453
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,760
probably just needs to sit down
and use it more.
454
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,280
So all of these devices have a
multi track USB output.
455
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,880
So let's say you don't want to
record on an, on an SD card.
456
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:55,520
You can map out, let's say
Audacity or Garage Band or any
457
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,320
of these software DAW interfaces
on your computer and say, hey,
458
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,960
I'm always recording track one
on track one on the computer.
459
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,360
So once you've got that plan and
you've saved that template, then
460
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:12,440
you can always come back.
Hey, we're recording for audios,
461
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,280
3 audios, and they're going to
map out to these individual
462
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,000
tracks on your computer, so you
can always set up a template so
463
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,320
then you know exactly where to
go.
464
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,440
Yeah, great advice.
Thank you, Janae.
465
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,920
And that's why Janae is super
Janae and the rest of us are
466
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,400
just Miramar.
Thank you so much.
467
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,760
That's right.
I'm being serious.
468
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,120
It really gets confusing and I
don't know how many times I've
469
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:38,440
renamed stuff.
I got to talk to you after when
470
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,560
I'm ready to do this because
it's it's a pain.
471
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,920
There you go, Alex.
All right.
472
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,360
And Janae, there you go.
And Kathy has joined us on
473
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:45,240
stage.
Good morning.
474
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,960
Kathy.
Did you want to add to this?
475
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:54,680
I put a suggestion in the chat
before I actually used this
476
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,200
piece of equipment yesterday
because my open mic.
477
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:07,320
It's a mixer and an interface.
You get free software to be able
478
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:14,600
to control the levels remotely
via iPad or whichever tablet or.
479
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,200
Phone you've got and.
It's just about whatever
480
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:25,920
software you're using to record.
Make sure you've changed the
481
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:33,880
inputs and outputs to the device
that you're using and then on
482
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:39,920
each track it should be able to
allow you to select which input
483
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,880
it is.
Awesome.
484
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,080
Thank you, Kathy.
Good to have somebody who's got
485
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,560
some fresh experience using the
devices we're talking about.
486
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,280
So thank you.
I appreciate, appreciate that.
487
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,880
And I think I saw somebody else
had a question.
488
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,720
Oh no, it's Ashley.
Would you mind sharing what
489
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,440
you're sharing in the chat about
another device as as an
490
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,640
alternative to the P4 or the
Road Caster Pro?
491
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:13,520
I would say the Yamaha MGXU.
It's a mixer and I believe it's
492
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,520
got 6 channels.
But what I like about it is you
493
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,840
can tune the effects on your
voice from the board itself.
494
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,280
So you can add or take away
reverb.
495
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,120
You can pan one voice one way to
the other, and like I said, you
496
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,720
can use it without the computer
and that you can't record to it,
497
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,400
but you could hook it up to
another recording device or you
498
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,320
could also connect it to your
computer.
499
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,320
Very cool.
Thank you for that one.
500
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,400
And Billy has joined us as well.
Billy knows a thing or two about
501
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,120
equipment.
So Billy, good morning.
502
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,760
What do you got for us?
I think you had a question for
503
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,440
Ashley because I used to have
that board, but I got rid of it
504
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,400
because I didn't think it had
mix minus.
505
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,000
Does it have mix minus?
Did I sell it for no reason?
506
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,760
I.
Don't think it has mix minus.
507
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,000
I think you're right.
Oh, OK, OK, so that might be
508
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,240
problematic if you're doing
virtual stuff, but I was like,
509
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,440
dude, I used to have that board.
I love that thing.
510
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,680
And it was great for in person,
but I think I was like, why did
511
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,200
I get rid of it?
And I think that's why.
512
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,200
Billy, I'm going to, no, not at
all.
513
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,800
I'm going to put you on the spot
and ask you because I get this
514
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,760
question a lot.
So I'm just going to ask it to
515
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,400
you, what is mix minus?
When do we want to use it?
516
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,480
And you started to allude to it.
So could you expand on that?
517
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Well, so I mean, I'm not an
audio file or audio pro, but
518
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,560
it's basically when you're doing
like a virtual interview, the
519
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,920
audio is not going it.
It's like your mix or whatever
520
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,520
it is, it's mine.
It's like it's not going to loop
521
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,280
back and echo into the other
person or echo back into you
522
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,760
your own voice.
So if it goes into their system,
523
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,440
it's going to stop there, not
come back.
524
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,440
I mean, that's whatever.
It doesn't make an echo.
525
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,080
That's all I know, Mark.
I mean, that's kind of why I
526
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,080
asked you because that's
probably the way I would have
527
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,680
answered the question too.
And Ashley says here, Ashley,
528
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,200
you want to just share with us
what your definition of mixed
529
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,320
minus is?
Yeah.
530
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,200
I believe it's the ratio of how
much you hear of yourself and
531
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,600
the monitoring mix versus how
much signal you're getting from
532
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,000
the other person.
That's the best way I can put
533
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,600
it.
Yep.
534
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,440
OK, there you go.
I appreciate that.
535
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,560
And that's also probably coming
from her music background as
536
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:27,720
well.
All right.
537
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,720
And Sid, I think I saw you come
off.
538
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,640
Mike, did you have something?
Just wanted to check to make
539
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,280
sure.
OK, then let's if I came.
540
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,880
Up.
I'm sorry if I came up, Mike, it
541
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,880
was because my phone was just
put in my pocket.
542
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,840
So sorry about.
That OK, no problem, no problem.
543
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,960
It was, it was to make fun of me
for going.
544
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640
Oh, I don't know.
I can't hear myself back though.
545
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,000
I literally texted him and said
that's clear as mud dude.
546
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,080
I like to know that behind the
scenes they're jabbing at each
547
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,280
other too.
All right, Janae, I saw your
548
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,440
hand come up.
Did you want to add on to this
549
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,840
or make some other suggestions?
Yeah.
550
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,280
So the mix minus is, you know,
primarily using to prevent
551
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,880
feedback or audio coming back
to.
552
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,520
So for example, if I'm dialing
in, I don't want to be hearing
553
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,840
myself back from the main
channel that you have running,
554
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,920
right.
So that's where the mix minus.
555
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,400
So I'll put up a mix minus
configuration is again you need
556
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,520
to the different scenarios but
it's to mainly reduce or remove
557
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,120
the echo or the feedback loop
essentially.
558
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,600
OK, OK, I get it.
And then let's jump into because
559
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,760
we do have some other stuff to
get to and I want to make sure
560
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,720
we answer this question.
Let's talk a little bit about
561
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,520
video.
When it comes to this person
562
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,080
going from Kevin going from two
to three people and currently
563
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,320
only using 1 camera.
Let's let's say they're only
564
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,160
going to use one camera or they
have no intention to go out and
565
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:01,680
buy more cameras if they're
using just one, but they need to
566
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,320
make it a three person show more
dynamic.
567
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,000
How would they do that?
What do you say, Janae?
568
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,240
Yeah.
So I've seen this question
569
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,120
before.
And essentially, if you're using
570
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,400
1 camera and you have both of
the guest and the host or both
571
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,680
of the host in the shot, then
the third person would probably
572
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,360
come in the middle of the two in
facing the camera, so they can
573
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,920
all turn a little bit to face
the single camera.
574
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,560
And then to make it more
dynamic, because each person is
575
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,080
recording their own audio and
it's coming on a different
576
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,400
track, you can easily sync it
with the video.
577
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,640
And anytime one specific person
is talking, the video cuts into
578
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,680
that person and and so on, so on
and so forth.
579
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,480
And the application, I think
yesterday it was Jonathan or
580
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,040
Nicholas that had shared an app
yesterday, Eddie dot AI, which
581
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,000
lets you do video editing.
You can easily tell it, hey,
582
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,080
this is a three person video
shoot with one camera and three
583
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:10,280
audios and it'll you, it'll help
you to, you know, cut in closer
584
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,080
to 1 which person is talking.
All right, cool.
585
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,239
Yeah.
And if we don't know what kind
586
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:22,000
of camera Kevin is using and if
it's a 4K camera and it's one
587
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,600
shot throughout the whole
interview, that or the whole
588
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,520
show, let's say it's a 60 minute
episode one, if they've got the
589
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,840
high quality camera there,
there's a lot of editing you can
590
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,239
do to make it more dynamic in
post production.
591
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:39,800
You know, you can zoom in, do
close up shots of each person
592
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,520
while they're talking if it's in
4K, because that quality isn't
593
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,800
going to suffer when you zoom in
and isolate just one small area
594
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,199
of the video.
So that's that's one way to do
595
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,280
it.
It saves you money by not having
596
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:58,120
to buy new cameras, but you do
have to sacrifice some time for
597
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,200
that money because you've got to
spend time doing that post
598
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,520
production work unless you're
paying somebody to do it.
599
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:06,640
But again, if you're paying
someone to do it, then it's you
600
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,360
know, it's taking them more
time.
601
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,400
You maybe more money out of your
pocket.
602
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,520
And I also want to say if you do
want to add other cameras but
603
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,760
don't have the budget for it,
think about the camera on the
604
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,040
back of your phone as another
option.
605
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,760
The the quality on the
smartphones these days are top
606
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,480
notch and they work just as well
in my opinion, as some of these
607
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,480
really fancy expensive cameras
that people are using for video.
608
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:38,600
So you could absolutely use your
iPhone, your Android camera,
609
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,320
especially if you're using like
if it's an iPhone, like when I'm
610
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,240
using, I've got the iPhone 16
Pro Max.
611
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:47,520
Those cameras are top notch,
excellent cameras.
612
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,320
Yeah.
Janae, did you want to comment
613
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,120
on that?
Yeah, fun fact about iPhone
614
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,280
cameras, Apple themselves have
not used any of the camera
615
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,640
outside of the iPhone 15 Pro Max
when that was introduced to
616
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,800
shoot any of their production
stuff.
617
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,040
So everything that you see that
Apple puts out is shot on an
618
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,080
iPhone.
So if they're doing it, then you
619
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,280
know it.
It doesn't.
620
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,920
Yeah, why can't you?
We are, why can't we?
621
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,520
And because there are three
people between the three people,
622
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,440
they already have three iPhones
or three phones that they can
623
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,560
record video from and then sync
it in post.
624
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,960
So absolutely all the options
are are at their disposal.
625
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,880
Yeah, and the little trick, for
those who don't know, I'm sure
626
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,000
many of you on stage here do
know the little trick to handle
627
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,480
the syncing up of all three
cameras.
628
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,200
If you're doing something like
what Janae just described is you
629
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:50,920
all count to 3123, you clap, and
then you can see and hear where
630
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,040
to sync up all three tracks.
It's a little easy trick.
631
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,960
That's why when some people may
not realize, but they've seen it
632
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,800
100 times, When you see somebody
coming out from behind the
633
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,080
scenes of say, ATV or movie set
and they say, you know,
634
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:11,160
podcasting, morning chat, Take 3
and that Clapper goes, that's
635
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,880
exactly why they're doing that.
It's to sync everything up
636
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,800
appropriately.
I saw several people wanting to
637
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,920
chime in.
I'll go back to Billy.
638
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,800
Billy, did you want to add on to
this portion about video?
639
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:27,520
Yeah, real quick on the phone
and using multiple phones, there
640
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,760
isn't a cool app called, I think
it's called Switcher app or
641
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,080
something like that.
Let me see.
642
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,120
Yes, Switcher Studio app for iOS
and I have a really good friend
643
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:43,560
of mine actually live streams
like local sporting events and
644
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,120
things like that with just with
all phones.
645
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,320
It's crazy.
So you have 5 phone production
646
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,360
studio set up and he uses that
app and he's been doing it for
647
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,000
years and gets some really crisp
content out of it.
648
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,120
So it might be a easy way to
connect all those phones and and
649
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,160
go live to drive.
Because editing sucks.
650
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,440
Agreed.
Danae, did you want to add on to
651
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,160
that?
Yeah, on that stream yard,
652
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,400
sorry, stream.
Stream Dad.
653
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,640
Stream Yard.
The one that Billy just messed
654
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,320
up, the one that Billy just
mentioned had been on the
655
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,280
Switcher.
Switcher Studio has been around
656
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,200
for a while.
And what's cool is Apple
657
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:26,840
introduced the Final Cut Pro app
for your iPad, which also
658
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,480
connects up to four iPhones
together to do a multicam video
659
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,960
recording, which will again,
sync all of your shots, sync all
660
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,080
of the video.
It's pretty cool from Apple, of
661
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,520
course it works with all of
their devices.
662
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,560
It's again give you the same
kind of experience, just
663
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,040
Switcher Studio's giving.
Except now you're just paying
664
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:54,360
the $50.00 for the Falca Pro for
the iPad per year and everything
665
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,880
else is free, whereas Switcher
Studio has a much higher
666
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,440
subscription fees to use their
stuff.
667
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,720
Thank you, Janae.
Appreciate that.
668
00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:05,760
I know Ashley wants to chime in
as well.
669
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,960
Go for it, Ashley.
Yeah, thank you.
670
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,040
I just wanted to add a couple of
tips for those who might be
671
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,440
filming with their iPhone, and
that is make sure you turn off
672
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,480
the HDRA.
Lot of times when you get a new
673
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,400
iPhone, you haven't done this
already.
674
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,000
The HDR is on by default.
And if you leave it on, I think
675
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,720
you'll find that your colors
look a little bit more saturated
676
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:31,280
than what's most people prefer.
I just don't think the video
677
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,280
quality looks so great with the
HDR turned on.
678
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:39,720
So that's just a suggestion and
100% with the with the clapping
679
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:43,000
a few times to line up the audio
and video, I would do that no
680
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,440
matter what.
But another thing you can do is
681
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,560
if you have cap cut, even the
free version, you can put in
682
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,480
like let's say you've got your
audio and your video files
683
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,800
recorded separately.
You can put those in and it will
684
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,240
take a reference file from the
audio that you don't want.
685
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,240
And then you can mute it and you
can sync up those two files and
686
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,680
it will sync up your audio and
video for you.
687
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,280
And one more thing, the script,
once you get it, your audio and
688
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,680
video synced up and it's in your
descript project.
689
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,960
If you use the script, it will
remember your scenes.
690
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,920
So once you get like we went
back to saying you can do
691
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,960
different.
Cuts to make it look like
692
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,520
there's different angles.
If you only have one camera,
693
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:32,360
once you set up those pseudo
shots, you can kind of treat the
694
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,800
script like a camera Switcher.
I just copy and paste the scene
695
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,200
so that you don't have to
manually set up that shot every
696
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,360
single time and that'll really
save you some time.
697
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,680
Very cool.
I'm hearing more and more lately
698
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,120
about the scripts, features,
newer features and yeah, that
699
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,760
they're they continue to impress
me.
700
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,520
I'm still a Riverside guy and
I'm I'm loyal to Riverside and
701
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,920
those are some pretty cool
tools.
702
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,200
I will give you that.
All right, let's see here.
703
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,040
Janae, anything else you would
suggest?
704
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,240
What about it?
Which is, I know this question
705
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:08,280
will end on this one and I know
it could be challenging based on
706
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,440
the fact that we don't really
know this person's setup well,
707
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,920
but lighting has to play a role
in this.
708
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,400
If they're using 1 camera or
three cameras, we still have to
709
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,000
think about lighting.
So how What's the minimum
710
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,160
lighting setup that you'd
recommend for a good looking
711
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,320
three person video podcast?
Janaid.
712
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Your best way to do it is to
start with a Lantern light, and
713
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,560
that's going to make sure
everyone is lit up properly.
714
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,320
There are inexpensive lights
that you can get.
715
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,720
I know these days a lot of a lot
of experts will tell you don't
716
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:46,480
use ring lights.
And I really wouldn't use ring
717
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,360
lights in a three person setup
just because I you need
718
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,960
something more powerful than
that.
719
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,200
Those ring lights are designed
to be more or less right across
720
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,600
from you in front of you.
It's not really meant for a
721
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,040
studio setup.
So, yeah, you want to get
722
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,720
something more like the key
lights.
723
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,360
Those are those rectangular
lights.
724
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,440
What I like about the ones that
I use, I get mine from Elgato.
725
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,720
What I like about them is you
can change the adjust the
726
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:16,200
brightness and adjust the
temperature.
727
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,520
So you could use more of a white
light or you could use more of a
728
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:26,200
soft yellow light if you prefer.
I I really think that those are
729
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,960
the easiest and best ways to go.
Lighting is super important.
730
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,840
If you're going to use video,
you want to make sure that
731
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,160
you're seen clearly and cleanly
and the lighting is what it's
732
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,720
all about.
Even more so than a super
733
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:42,120
expensive fancy camera.
I think you like I like we were
734
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,640
saying you could get away with
and then some using an iPhone or
735
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,600
an Android camera from the back,
especially if you've got decent
736
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,040
lighting.
So I encourage that as well to
737
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,240
anybody who's looking to upgrade
their studio.
738
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:04,160
OK with that.
Let's shift gears and share our
739
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,000
wins from the week.
And I'm just going to remind
740
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,080
everybody again, just in case,
remember the summer schedule for
741
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,800
the podcasting morning chat, no
Monday show.
742
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,840
So we will be live every Tuesday
through Friday, 7:00 AM Eastern,
743
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,560
live on Clubhouse for now and
live on YouTube as well.
744
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,280
All right, so we're going to
share our wins from the week.
745
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,160
We will go down the line.
I'm going to encourage anybody
746
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,280
listening live in the audience,
come on up, share a win from
747
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,840
your week and don't judge your
own wins.
748
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,480
As I commonly say, yeah,
sometimes it's easy to hear the
749
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,080
previous person share some win
that we consider is really big,
750
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,720
really impressive.
And then we say, we can often
751
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:51,200
hear somebody come on and then
say, oh, how am I going to top
752
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,880
that?
Well, OK, granted, let's give
753
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,040
the that person a round of
applause for their impressive
754
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,680
win.
And yours is just as important,
755
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,240
just as big.
It's what's going on in your
756
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:05,360
life right now.
You're in a different place,
757
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:10,760
different part of your journey.
So we can't compare the size of
758
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,560
somebody else's win to yours.
I hope that makes sense.
759
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,120
And with that, let's just ask
everybody to share one or two,
760
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,440
not a big laundry list today
just so we can keep this to
761
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,800
time.
I'm going to start with Ashley
762
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,400
and we will go down the line.
So with that, Ashley, please
763
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,080
share a win or two from your
week.
764
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,440
So wins for this week are that
this is a big one.
765
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,440
I released another episode of my
podcast, Sunshine State Showcase
766
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,160
and it's video.
This is the first time in my 5
767
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,960
years of podcasting I've ever
released a full video episode.
768
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,560
It's on YouTube and I'm I'm
really happy with it.
769
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,200
It was a great time.
We recorded it live in person at
770
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,080
the Florida Americana Music
Festival, and I'm just really
771
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,480
happy I finally did a video
podcast and got back to it.
772
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:08,840
And second win is that my mom is
turning 60 and my sister is in
773
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,240
town from Dallas, and we're just
going to spend the whole weekend
774
00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:14,000
celebrating.
So that's my other win.
775
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,560
Awesome.
Congratulations on both.
776
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,720
Congratulations going to video
and happy birthday to your mom,
777
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,680
Dr. Will you share a win or two
with us?
778
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,600
OK, let's see.
So I am involved in two
779
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:34,480
different challenges at the same
time. 1 is my threads challenge
780
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,080
and the other is a newsletter
challenge.
781
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,720
There it's taught by the same
instructor and it's part of like
782
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:44,240
a flywheel that one kind of
feeds into the other.
783
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:51,720
And so I am deeply entrenched in
that and I'm I feel like I'm
784
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,480
really on the right track.
So I feel good about that.
785
00:45:55,080 --> 00:46:01,000
And tomorrow, tomorrow I have
someone coming over to give the
786
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,960
an estimate about redoing my
entire bathroom and I am so
787
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,640
excited.
There's like, there's like a
788
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,640
Jacuzzi in my future.
I know I like.
789
00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:16,200
So yeah, I'm looking.
That's.
790
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,240
Congratulations.
I know that's Adam Shively, that
791
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:22,880
you're that instructor and
that's great that he's teaching
792
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,680
that stuff.
I know he has a lot of success
793
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,880
with both threads and
newsletters, so very cool.
794
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,080
Keep us posted on that.
Let's go to Jonathan.
795
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,920
Jonathan, good morning again.
Please share your wins from this
796
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,400
past week.
Yesterday I helped my parents
797
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,840
move into their new townhouse,
so that was a win for them.
798
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,160
I'm still terrified that they're
moving into a new townhouse
799
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,080
that's bigger than their
original house, but it's OK.
800
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,640
It's OK, they're not 70
something years old.
801
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:59,680
And also I, I got all my stuff
set including my cold subscriber
802
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,320
e-mail for my intensive coming
up in July.
803
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,960
So that's all done.
Those emails start going out
804
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,520
tomorrow, actually.
Awesome.
805
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,680
Congratulations, Jonathan.
Always cool to see your.
806
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,040
It seems that you have lots of
different things going on with
807
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,320
your business, different
challenges, different activities
808
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,720
for your community.
It's very cool to see and
809
00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:24,200
inspiring as well.
Thank you for sharing.
810
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,400
And Sid, good morning to you.
Do you want to share some wins
811
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,280
with us?
Good morning again.
812
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,160
Everybody had a great week in
Chicago this week, connecting
813
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,440
with longtime industry friends,
meeting new people.
814
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,480
Had about 20 people sign up for
our programs this week and a
815
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,360
whole bunch of follow-ups to do
next.
816
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,400
So that's really good.
I got to record a live podcast
817
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:53,560
on Sunday where I was being
interviewed for a industry,
818
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,280
which is also a lot of fun.
And yeah, All in all it was a
819
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,200
great week.
And tomorrow my daughter's at
820
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:04,080
working at camp all summer.
And tomorrow morning my wife are
821
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,680
getting up to go visit her.
It's parents weekend or Parents
822
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,280
Day, so when I drive down there
and take her to go lunch and
823
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,680
then head back.
So we'll get to see her for the
824
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,560
first time in probably about 8
weeks.
825
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,600
So looking forward to that too.
Awesome love love anytime I hear
826
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,560
somebody is away at camp.
Camp is a is very near and dear
827
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,200
to my heart.
It's where I met my wife many
828
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,040
years ago.
Yes we went different our
829
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,160
different ways and then found
each other again.
830
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,680
But none the less we met at camp
and actually our kids are
831
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,400
currently Amy's kids.
My step kids are currently at a
832
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,200
one week camp and I'm sharing
this because I've shared with
833
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,640
you guys before.
I've had my best friend Jonah
834
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:50,080
join us before.
Jonah has a disease called CMT
835
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,120
Charcot Marie Tooth.
It's a neurological disease that
836
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,520
affects your extremities and how
well you can use them.
837
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:02,640
He has a he runs a camp for kids
with that disease and our kids
838
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,000
decided to go volunteer and be
counselors there for a week.
839
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,120
And we've been getting lots of
pictures and videos and it's
840
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,360
really cool to see.
And actually I'm doing that same
841
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,120
thing at another one of his one
week camps for the same 'cause
842
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,880
we'll be doing that in August.
So I'm looking forward to going
843
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,760
back to my roots as a camper,
camp counselor, and doing the
844
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,880
camp thing for a week long
should be fun.
845
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,160
Thank you for sharing, Sid.
Amanda, good morning again.
846
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,800
Please share any wins from your
week.
847
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,960
Good morning.
I just think this was just a
848
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,280
really good week.
Last week was a good week.
849
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,200
So just my win is just that the
week is good.
850
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:44,160
Lots of like tiny wins, like it
just feels good.
851
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,640
Awesome.
I'll take it.
852
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,240
Congratulations Jackie.
Welcome to the stage.
853
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:50,800
Good morning.
I know you've been sitting here
854
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,080
quietly listening.
Please share any wins from your
855
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:58,000
week.
Hello wins from my week.
856
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,600
It was a good week.
I'm just going to say that I'm
857
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:06,320
trying now to figure out how I
can tie my fitness into my
858
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,280
podcast, and that will be
another one.
859
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,120
It's just.
I don't know, it feels good in
860
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,360
the position I'm at right now.
Finally, feel like things are.
861
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:16,680
Starting to go normal.
Sorry.
862
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,200
We're out of Oreos, everybody.
Yeah, I know we're going to have
863
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,760
to go to the store today
anyways.
864
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:26,840
Yes, trying to tie that in.
Just a quick little thing to
865
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,080
share.
I've been coaching now for two
866
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,840
weeks long time coming.
I got my, you know,
867
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,960
certification six years ago,
finally got certified to the
868
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,960
place I wanted to originally.
And helping people in this way
869
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,880
is one of the most fulfilling
things I've ever done in my
870
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,560
life, and I feel the need to
talk about it so people
871
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,560
understand.
Like just.
872
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,360
How am I?
Awesome, it is so.
873
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,600
That's my spiel.
I miss you guys.
874
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,520
I'm so sorry.
I've been working so much I
875
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,880
cannot get in any other days
right now, but I am here.
876
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,280
And have a good weekend,
everybody.
877
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:05,120
Congratulations, Jackie.
I can hear the enthusiasm and
878
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,040
energy every time you talk about
coaching and your fitness
879
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,240
journey and working with
Orangetheory and all the things.
880
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:16,320
It's very cool.
Congratulations to you and we do
881
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,640
miss you and thanks for coming
whenever you're able to join.
882
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,800
That's all we ask.
OK, we're going to go to Billy.
883
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,960
Good morning again.
Please share a win from your
884
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:25,880
week.
Morning.
885
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,320
Well, hopefully in about an hour
I'm going to have a moving truck
886
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,320
in my front lawn.
So that's like the biggest win.
887
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,840
That's about two or three weeks
in the waiting.
888
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:40,760
That's a personal win.
And then I'm also relaunching my
889
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,680
creating daily podcast because
I've been challenged to create a
890
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,600
five day challenge around my
business model.
891
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:54,360
And so I'm going to use the
podcast to help build and
892
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,280
through that thing.
I I guess that's the strategy
893
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,920
I'm dealing with.
So anyway, so yeah, man, I've
894
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:04,440
mapped out about two years worth
of content because I was like,
895
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,520
dude, if I don't, if I don't map
it out, it's never going to get
896
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,200
done.
So I can create content and
897
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,480
quickly, but I just got to have
all the ideas.
898
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,160
So yeah, we'll see how that
goes.
899
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,800
The little relaunch.
Awesome.
900
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,840
Congratulations, Billy.
Very cool to hear you're going
901
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,920
to relaunch that podcast and
talk about the things that you
902
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,120
have been doing so well.
So yeah, keep us posted on that.
903
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,240
We'll definitely want to check
it out when you officially
904
00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:32,760
relaunch.
OK, let's go to Janae.
905
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,800
Janae, please share some wins
with us.
906
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,480
Maybe it's that you got your
crying child to settle down, but
907
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,160
you tell us.
Good morning.
908
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,280
Yes, he's.
He's calm and you know I'm in
909
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,320
the car.
But the great week again today,
910
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,480
the schools ending for all the
kids.
911
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,200
And then next week we're
planning to see my parents for a
912
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,040
couple weeks.
So that'll be a great when you
913
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:02,200
know, get away from everything
and good to see family and
914
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:06,760
another tool when there's
there's a local gentleman,
915
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,160
Justin Kavanaugh known as Coach
Kav.
916
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,400
And so Ham and I were building
out a local podcast studio.
917
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,120
So that's another win.
And I got to see the place
918
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,640
yesterday.
So we're going to be setting
919
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,800
that space up so we can invite
people that are local to us and
920
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,440
also invite other entrepreneurs
in this space to say, hey, come
921
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:31,000
start a podcast, come be a guest
on the show and start them out.
922
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,760
Easy less.
So those are my little wins for
923
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,000
me.
Thank you.
924
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,120
Yeah, congratulations on all of
those wins, Janae.
925
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,040
Appreciate it.
And Victoria coming to you,
926
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,640
welcome to the stage.
Do you want to share some wins?
927
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,160
Thanks for the invite.
When this week was I was invited
928
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,600
to keynote at a conference this
week, which you know, my podcast
929
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,480
is the chemical shows very much
a business podcast.
930
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:02,400
And that keynote opportunity
came largely as the result of
931
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,680
the podcast and the exposure
that I've gotten with it and
932
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,960
that insights I've developed
through other through speaking
933
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,840
to different guests and stuff.
So I would say, you know, for
934
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,760
all the podcasters, your
platform is bigger than your
935
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,560
podcast and your podcast helps
develop your platform.
936
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,400
So that's a, that was a cool
win.
937
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:25,560
And then my win #2 is I've made
a decision that I am setting up
938
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,680
a podcast studio not in my Home
Office.
939
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,400
So I am at the beginning of the
journey and in Faction, I'd love
940
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,640
to learn about what you're doing
because I have a gazillion in
941
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,480
one questions and I have a
vision for where that's going,
942
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,400
much like you to not just for my
own podcast and a podcast in my
943
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,680
network, but for other local
businesses.
944
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,920
And I think there's a great
opportunity here.
945
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,040
And I have no idea what I'm
doing, so I'm going to need some
946
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,520
help with that.
But that was my other win of the
947
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,120
week.
Well that is very cool.
948
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,640
Thank you Victoria for sharing.
And yeah, I have.
949
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,560
I've had this bug lately of
wanting to investigate opening
950
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:09,400
up a studio in the Asheville
area, and so it's cool to hear
951
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,360
you saying that you've got that
itch to do the same.
952
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,160
I'll be curious to hear a little
more about your journey.
953
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,480
And yes, I think Janae's a great
person to listen to, connect
954
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,120
with and yeah, see where that
goes.
955
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,520
So congratulations, Victoria.
As for me, my wins for this
956
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,480
week, I will say it's definitely
getting through the week that's
957
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:33,000
been really challenging for me
personally, professionally,
958
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,800
etcetera.
Just kind of, I think the win
959
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:42,520
out of it all really is that I
am practicing giving myself
960
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,800
grace.
I think I've been really stuck
961
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:53,600
for a long time in this go go go
mentality and not giving myself
962
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,680
any time to myself or for
myself.
963
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:02,320
And I think it's catching up
with me and hence the decision
964
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,960
to do Mondays off for the rest
of the summer.
965
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,880
And hence why I had to take two
days off this week, even though
966
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:16,720
I was resisting that at first.
But this is the whole practice
967
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:19,400
of learning how to give myself
grace.
968
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:24,640
So I am honoring that and
celebrating that as my win for
969
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:28,720
this week.
