What would you do if you accidentally left your verbal consent disclaimer in a published episode? Would you take it down or let it slide? That’s the question we’re tackling today from the listener mailbag. We weigh the pros and cons of verbal versus written consent, and share tips on editing videos after the fact. We touch on playlist fixes and how much order matters in your uploads. As always, we wrap up the week with our wins from the week and celebrate every bit of momentum that moved us forward.

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,040
Good morning, podcasting,
Morning chat.

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:14,240
Today is Friday, July 11th,
2025, and today we're tackling A

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,160
mailbag question about
accidentally leaving guest

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,080
disclaimers in videos and
whether or not to fix them.

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,880
Plus, of course, we're sharing

Morning again podcasting Morning

00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,120

Sharp.
Good morning again podcasting

16
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Morning chap, thanks so much for
being here.

17
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,680
I am your host Mark Ronick and
on stage with me currently we

18
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,800
have my Co hosts Dr. Fay,
producer Ashley Feller, Amanda

19
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Sharp and Nick Nallback.
I'm hoping Sid Meadows is

20
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,560
joining us today.
I don't think his Europe trip

21
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,800
up.
Yep, there he is.

22
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Before we kick off, just wanted
to say last night, those of you

23
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,280
who know me what relatively well
know I love my movies, my

24
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,080
superhero movies, my Star Wars
movies.

25
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,160
I went last night to go see the
new Superman movie and I will

26
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,080
say that I'm no spoilers and I
will say that it's a fun movie.

27
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,160
I enjoyed it.
I had a fun time and was a

28
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,160
little disappointed.
It's just doing what these comic

29
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,720
book movies are doing a lot more
of lately and just trying to do

30
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,560
too much.
I think the superhero movies

31
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,720
that the ones that have become
really staples icons, the ones

32
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,000
that really were popular are
those ones that it's just the

33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,800
superhero in the movie mainly,
right?

34
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,520
It's just that person who's, you
know, not only struggling to

35
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,760
beat the bad guy, but also has,
you know, human like challenges

36
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,480
along the way, right.
And and it's this movie.

37
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,520
He absolutely had a human like
challenge throughout the whole

38
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,680
movie, But it there wasn't a lot
of substance to it.

39
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,240
It just kind of there was this
overarching theme as far as what

40
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Superman was dealing with
personally.

41
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:10,640
And it's just, I don't know it,
it was a little too corny for

42
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:12,960
me, I guess.
So I'm a little bummed about it

43
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,160
because I was really hoping this
would kind of set the superhero

44
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,760
movie genre back on track.
And I don't really personally

45
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,440
feel that way again.
I would, I love these movies and

46
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,640
I would see it again.
It's fun.

47
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,360
It just didn't really pack the
punch that I was hoping for.

48
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,400
So there.
You know what?

49
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,000
The fact that you do love these
movies put so much more emphasis

50
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,400
and importance on your.
You know what I mean?

51
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,920
Yes, 'cause I am a little, I
tend to be a little more

52
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,160
forgiving with these movies
because I, I just love them so

53
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,960
much.
I just have such a good time.

54
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Takes me back to being a kid.
So yeah, that's true.

55
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,600
But you know, if you're excited
to go see it, go see it.

56
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,640
I'm sure you'll have a fun time.
Just my I don't go in with this

57
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,880
high of expectations as I had.
All right, so today we want to

58
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,960
dig into a couple of things.
So first Dr. found something on

59
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Reddit that we thought we'd
throw out at you and hear what

60
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,160
you have to say.
Then I want to go to a mailbag

61
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,040
question that I found in our own
Facebook group that came last

62
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,040
night by Chris.
Not any Chris here, but a

63
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,720
gentleman named Chris who is a
regular over there.

64
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,880
So we'll get to that too.
So first let me go to Dr. And

65
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,760
then, of course, we'll get to
the main question of the morning

66
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,600
that was inspired by something
earlier this week from Sid.

67
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,240
Go for it, Dr. OK, so this
question comes from Reddit and

68
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,640
it is from Mountain Mix 3618.
And he or she, I don't want to

69
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,640
make any assumptions, asks if
Apple Podcasts disappeared

70
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,440
tomorrow, what would you do?
So this should be like a rapid

71
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,640
fire kind of kind of answers.
Now I will go on to say he or

72
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,800
she says just a hypothetical,
but it made me think if Apple

73
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,000
shut down podcast tomorrow,
where would you shift your

74
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320
strategy?
Spotify, YouTube, private feeds?

75
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,480
Just trying to get a read on
where podcasters think the

76
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,280
future lives.
So would anyone like to take a

77
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,120
stab?
All right, Amanda's going to go

78
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,080
first.
Go ahead, Amanda.

79
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,960
Good morning.
I would throw every one of those

80
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,720
options out the window and just
focus and go 100% all on social

81
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,800
media.
And put the long talk.

82
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,160
Like everything on there, every
single piece of content.

83
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,320
I would have sworn you would
have just gone straight to

84
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,560
YouTube.
Well, that's I would consider

85
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,400
that part of like social media I
guess.

86
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,160
Yeah, Isn't that funny that
like, I I often think about

87
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,120
that, that YouTube gets lumped
into social media, but Apple and

88
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,360
Spotify don't.
But they're really the same kind

89
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,080
of platform, just, you know, in
a little bit of a different way.

90
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,280
Well, I think with YouTube, you
can leave the comments, you can

91
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,680
like it.
There's a little bit more.

92
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Up until recently, that was the
major difference between, say,

93
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,240
Spotify or Apple.
I know there's more engagement

94
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,680
options now, but yeah I would
just go social media because if

95
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,720
one of them go away you still
have the others.

96
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,560
OK, that's fair.
And anyone else?

97
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,600
Anyone else have any thoughts on
this?

98
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Dr. What about you?
Well, I didn't quite know.

99
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,160
I would have thought Spotify,
but then I went on to read some

100
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,920
of the answers in Reddit and of
course the best answer of all,

101
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,360
it made me change my mind.
It's from Danny Brown from

102
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,680
Captivate, and he says always
your own website, that's where

103
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,960
it should be.
That's a great point.

104
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,480
Yeah.
That's a great, great point.

105
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:57,640
Yeah.
I mean.

106
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,400
My new answer.
Thank you, Danny Brown.

107
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,800
But the question really is
though, yes, I think as far as

108
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,920
strategically, yeah, go more in
on your website at that point.

109
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,600
But at the same time, I think
it's harder for people to find

110
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,000
your website then maybe find you
on social media.

111
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,320
I don't know.
I mean, it depends on your SEO

112
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,640
strategy of course.
Yeah, I would guess that you'd

113
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,480
really have to up your
promotional, yeah, aspect of

114
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,720
your show and of your website.
Yeah, we encourage your website

115
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,560
because that's your home base.
You have that control, the most

116
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,880
control over that, especially
over social media.

117
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280
So we want, you know, we want
you to focus on that too.

118
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,720
And I think social media is a
promotional strategy that you

119
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,120
can't really ignore either.
Dan is on stage.

120
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,760
Let's check in with Dan.
Good morning to you, Sir.

121
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,200
Do you want to weigh in on this?
I wouldn't do much at all

122
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,200
because I'm fortunate to use,
well Buzz Sprout, and they make

123
00:07:54,200 --> 00:08:00,720
it really easy to default to
other podcast player entities.

124
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:06,520
So if Apple Podcasts went away,
people would likely migrate to

125
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,640
another player or to YouTube as
was already mentioned.

126
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,120
And I don't know that I'd see
much more difference now.

127
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,120
I will add though, that recently
I've seen a spike in downloads

128
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,240
that has been a result of
joining the odd match network.

129
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,920
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.

130
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,040
So that has been a huge player
in and it's really competitive

131
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,880
with the downloads on Apple.
So that's been really good.

132
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,640
No wait a second, I'm kind of
confused.

133
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:36,840
Why is that?
Isn't pod match supposed to be

134
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,120
like you get you get guests and
you also put yourself out as a

135
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,440
guest?
Yeah, it's a matchmaker.

136
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,800
It's a matchmaking.
Yeah.

137
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,520
So they also have a network,
right?

138
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:51,800
So recently Alex, a couple
months ago announced a network,

139
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,880
a pod match network that you can
be a part of it, especially I

140
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,160
think if you are a pod match
user, then you can be part of

141
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,080
the network.
Actually, one of the first

142
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,840
shows, the podcasting morning
chat was one of the first shows

143
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,600
to be on that network and we're
still there today.

144
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,240
And then more recently, Alex
announced that he had figured

145
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:18,400
out a way to get us more real
listeners to our podcasts and

146
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,320
for specifically for his podcast
network.

147
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,120
And yeah, a lot of people are
starting to report that they're

148
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040
seeing a difference.
It's hard for me to say if we're

149
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,880
if we're seeing a difference,
especially just because our

150
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,960
numbers have been skewed.
Skewed is kind of the wrong

151
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,320
word, but I can't think of a
better one.

152
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,200
So you've been skewed ever since
we did the Steve from Blue's

153
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,240
Clues episode.
So that's really where I've seen

154
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,680
a big bump for us.
And now it's hard to say where

155
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:51,240
or if pod match is contributing
to those numbers lately.

156
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,360
So we'll that we'll wait and see
on that.

157
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,680
But that's very cool to hear
from Dan that that that's

158
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:59,680
working well for him as far as
pod match in the network goes.

159
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,800
And I think Dan's right too, in
the sense that I think for many

160
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,920
of us, we might hear this
question that that Dr. found on

161
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,720
Reddit and say, well, nothing
really changes if we're on

162
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,800
already more than one platform.
But I do think then maybe your

163
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,880
strategy changes as that at that
point, especially because if

164
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,560
Apple Podcast goes away
tomorrow, that means there are a

165
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:26,840
lot of podcast consumers out
there that need a new home.

166
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,280
And so you've got to direct them
to that new home.

167
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,920
It's your responsibility, your
strategy.

168
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,760
How are you going to get them to
go find you on that other

169
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,520
platform?
Because they're probably used to

170
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,960
just using, in this scenario,
just used to using Apple

171
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160
Podcasts.
So now you want to direct them

172
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,720
to their new home.
I saw Sid wanted to add

173
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,960
something.
And good morning, Sid.

174
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,560
Earlier when you just popped in
the room, I was going to ask

175
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,680
you, aren't you going away soon
with your wife for a little

176
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:57,280
vacation?
Yes, we are going away soon.

177
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,200
It's next Thursday night we
leave, headed to Europe.

178
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,040
We'll be gone for 12 days.
Nice.

179
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,040
Yeah, 12 days.
Yeah, we're looking forward to

180
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,160
it because she's already
stressing out about how to pack

181
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,920
and what to pack, the two outfit
today and all that kind of

182
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:13,600
stuff.
But yeah, we leave.

183
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,640
We leave in a week.
This time next week we'll be in

184
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,920
Barcelona, Spain.
That's cool, and you know, you

185
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,360
talk about her stressing about
packing, but I feel like packing

186
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,640
is a thing for you too.
Maybe that's just because of

187
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,840
your videos.
I don't stress about it.

188
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,400
I'm an organized Packer.
I wanted to add a couple of

189
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,560
things.
First off, with I'm not a member

190
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,840
of Pod Match.
I obviously follow Alex and know

191
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,240
what he's doing.
But I think the thing that's

192
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,520
important about what Dan just
talked about is first and

193
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,960
foremost, Pod Match is a
community, yes.

194
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,600
And it sounds like Dan has been
rewarded by that community for

195
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,760
joining that community by people
engaging in and listening to his

196
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,360
podcast, which is fantastic.
That's one of the benefits of

197
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,440
joining a community.
So I think first and foremost,

198
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,320
you have to remember it's a
community.

199
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,760
Network is second, finding guest
is second, right?

200
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,400
It's our third or whatever, but
it's really a community first.

201
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,800
And then to the listening
platform.

202
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,840
I mean, I think because I'm an
audio guy, I would probably go

203
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:18,000
to Spotify to start listening to
my shows that I have in my feed

204
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,680
to listen to every week, my
regular list that I'm, you know,

205
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,360
consuming.
But as it relates to my show

206
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,400
specifically, I would do exactly
what Dan also said, which is

207
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,640
lean more heavily into my
website.

208
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,040
Because right now when I look at
my analytics spot and see the

209
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:40,240
Apple is my first top download.
My website is my second top

210
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,720
downloads.
There are a lot of people go to

211
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,920
my website and listen to the
embedded player on my website

212
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,160
already.
So I would lean in heavily in

213
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,920
the marketing of going directly
to the landing page for each

214
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,160
episode.
All right, there's there you go.

215
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,440
Another vote for website.
Love that.

216
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,960
I see Nick is agreeing with you
there as well.

217
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,000
What about you, Nick?
I'm curious, where would you go

218
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,680
if Apple went away?
What would be the strategy?

219
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,560
Where would you direct your
audience?

220
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,720
My strategy has always been
sending people back to my

221
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,000
website.
That's been always the goal.

222
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,320
Like if they listen on Apple,
Spotify, go for it.

223
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,600
Like wherever you're going to
listen to you.

224
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,120
But every time I came out with
an episode, my goal was to get

225
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,680
them back onto my website.
So that strategy for me wouldn't

226
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,800
change at all.
If you think about it, if Apple

227
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:31,480
Podcasts went away today, it
wouldn't necessarily be on you

228
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,040
to find a new platform for them
to listen to.

229
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,280
As long as you are using your
podcast host, you're getting

230
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,280
your podcast on all of the
available directories that are

231
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,720
available to you.
They're most likely going to be

232
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,600
able to find you on any of those
platforms.

233
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:48,480
Yeah.
OK.

234
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,320
So it's up to them, the user to
basically decide what platform

235
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,800
do they want to use instead of
Apple podcast, right.

236
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,560
It's my yeah.
I do wonder, I do agree with you

237
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:02,400
and I wonder, you know, if we as
hosts, if we're asking our

238
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,520
audience to listen in a specific
place, wherever that is, your

239
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,320
website, YouTube, etcetera.
If we keep encouraging that, I

240
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,720
wonder if I wonder what
percentage would actually go

241
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,440
that way and would listen, you
know, despite maybe the player

242
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,280
that they prefer.
I wonder if we can sway the

243
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,400
audience to go use the player of
our choice and how we would do

244
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,880
that.
I think maybe that's another

245
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,560
conversation because we've got a
full plate today.

246
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,800
So let me keep things moving if
you don't mind.

247
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,760
Next, I want to jump into the
mailbag.

248
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,080
This is a question that comes
from Chris, Chris B.

249
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,360
Well, you know what?
He publicly posted it so I can

250
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,640
say his last name, Chris Baker,
and he posted it in our Facebook

251
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,360
group Empowered Podcasting.
If you want to go find that on

252
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,920
Facebook.
Chris asks.

253
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,640
I include a disclaimer at the
beginning of recordings for

254
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,920
guest consent, but I forgot to
cut it out.

255
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Actually, and this is an
abbreviated version here, I

256
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,120
summarized it.
I thought I would go that

257
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,880
direction, but I actually want
to read the whole thing to you.

258
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,680
So he says he asks his guests
during the beginning of the

259
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,920
recording.
So he hits record and he asks

260
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,040
them.
He says do I have your

261
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,760
permission to record, upload and
use this in perpetuity?

262
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,680
I wait for a yes and then
officially start the show.

263
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,520
And then he goes on here to say
I forgot to cut the disclaimer

264
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,960
on two different shows recently.
I can easily fix this on audio

265
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,560
sites by cutting this section
and then uploading it again.

266
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,080
Then he says it doesn't work
this way on YouTube, run rumble

267
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,680
and some other platforms.
He says all I can do is delete

268
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,320
everything and then re upload
everything.

269
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,720
I would lose all the views and
comments plus the video would

270
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,000
now be out of order.
Although he could do something

271
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,640
with a playlist if he wanted to
to correct the order and we can

272
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,800
get into that too.
And lastly he says I'm trying to

273
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,240
figure out how I missed these
two videos.

274
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,040
I'm also wondering if I should
just leave them up there as is.

275
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:11,920
Will anyone care?
To their credit, Odyssey ODYS EE

276
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640
does make it possible to replace
the video file without deleting

277
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,520
the video entirely.
And I am not familiar with

278
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,440
Odyssey or how that works, but
that's an interesting,

279
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,280
interesting suggestion from
Chris and what he's going to do.

280
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,720
But I'm.
Yeah, I don't know those

281
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,480
details.
So let's pick this apart because

282
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,840
it's kind of multifaceted.
And I think it's important that

283
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,640
we dig into everything.
So there's so many different

284
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,240
directions. 1st, it's like, and
I know probably no one here can

285
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,640
answer this unless you've talked
to a lawyer before, but does

286
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,880
that suffice?
Asking for verbal consent as

287
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,600
opposed to written consent?
And he didn't explain if he in

288
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,280
fact also has them sign
something for their consent.

289
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,640
But let's assume in this
instance that that's how he does

290
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,440
it.
If anybody has heard, if that's

291
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,560
enough, let me know.
My guess is it's probably not,

292
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,599
but let me check in.
Dr. wants to add something.

293
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,920
Go ahead, Dr. I do think it is
enough, just the way that he

294
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,240
framed it, blah blah blah blah
in perpetuity.

295
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,119
Is this good for you?
Yes or no?

296
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,520
And then they say yes I do.
I think it's good enough.

297
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,440
I wonder if it could hold up in
court.

298
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,640
I think it could.
I mean, I didn't know.

299
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,880
I can't imagine why it wouldn't.
There's only one time that I had

300
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,120
to use this like in instead of
because I usually do a contract

301
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:36,640
for speakers.
And the only time that I had,

302
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,200
there was a speaker that was
leery about signing a contract.

303
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,600
She was very, very kind of
homespun and the contract thing

304
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,360
scared her.
Oh my God, this is like really

305
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:52,640
serious, not serious, but you
know, And so before the

306
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,680
interview, I said, look, I said
I like to use these as a

307
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,440
training thing for, you know, my
fellow new producers coming on

308
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,000
the scene.
And so would that be OK with you

309
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,280
in perpetuity?
And she said, oh, yeah, that's

310
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,440
fine.
And I said great.

311
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,520
And then we continued on with
the interview that.

312
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,440
Makes sense.
Oh, who is that?

313
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,640
Alex?
I just, I just kind of googled

314
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,640
it and they said, you know, both
verbal and written consent are

315
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,520
considered legal.
OK.

316
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,960
It's just harder to prove.
Yeah, it is consent.

317
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,680
And Mike Short is in the chat
agreeing with you as well.

318
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,440
He says it's a record of a
verbal contract.

319
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,440
Verbal contracts are binding.
So there you go.

320
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,880
Amanda, you wanted to chime in?
Go ahead.

321
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,360
Well, I would have always
assumed that you a verbal

322
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,120
recorded, yes, would have been
enough.

323
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:46,400
But if all the conversations
that I have with say companies

324
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,600
when I'm on the phone, they'll
say, is it OK if this recording

325
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,760
was being recorded?
And so I feel like if companies

326
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,480
are doing that, companies that
have some serious lawyers behind

327
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,000
them, if that seems to be
enough, I think just on a

328
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,640
surface level we should be fine.
Totally agree with you there.

329
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,720
That's an excellent point.
And nobody has though mentioned

330
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:12,120
what about the fact that AI can
pretty much clone our voices at

331
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,720
this point.
I have a feeling maybe verbal

332
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,320
consent could change over time.
I it it's not going anywhere at

333
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,480
this moment.
But, you know, to get an on the

334
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,440
phone or over the Internet.
Verbal consent these days is

335
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,360
getting a little more muddy
because of AI.

336
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,240
Yeah, go ahead, Amanda.
So was forgery, right?

337
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,160
So that will just become like
verbal forgery, I think.

338
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,240
So it won't necessarily I think
not change.

339
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,280
I just think there's going to
become laws that are are going

340
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,160
to echo what, you know, just
general forgery would be.

341
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,720
So I don't think we ever can
control it.

342
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,520
They'll just have to be laws
evolving to protect consumers.

343
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,800
OK, Yeah, I think that's a good
point.

344
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,640
Forgery.
Yeah, they would just handle it

345
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,280
like forgery.
Go ahead, Sid I.

346
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,680
Just have a question about this
because isn't the fact that.

347
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,360
You're actually on the show
being recorded the actual

348
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:09,200
consent itself, without being
recording a consent or signing a

349
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,080
document.
The fact that you're on the show

350
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,960
being recorded in itself is
consent, is it not?

351
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,040
It it is, I suppose.
Again, we are not lawyers, FYI,

352
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:25,800
and I suppose it is.
However, you know, the whole I

353
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,320
said it right the first time,
but the point is, is that people

354
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,560
use the content that's recorded
in a lot of different ways,

355
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,520
right?
They're not just putting up the

356
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,400
the content as recorded.
A lot of times, most, many of us

357
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,680
are editing things and some, and
maybe a bad edit or an

358
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,480
intentional edit might take
something out of context or

359
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,080
might be sound like it was
manipulated into something that

360
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,240
the person wasn't trying to say.
Or again, back to the out of

361
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,080
context thing.
You isolate a certain portion of

362
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,440
what they say, put it out there,
and what if that it starts to

363
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,240
damage the guest's reputation?
Then they may come after you at

364
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,680
that point.
So it's maybe more about when

365
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,680
you're asking for consent.
It's also about the way in which

366
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,840
you're using the content.
You're asking for permission to

367
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,840
use it however the heck you
want.

368
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,400
So can we do so in former poll?
Then you can move on.

369
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,240
I'm just curious.
Like raise of hands or thumbs

370
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,200
up.
How many of you actually use a

371
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,880
consent form, either verbal or
written, for your show, for your

372
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,960
guest?
I'm just curious in this ring.

373
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,240
I do.
I'll say that just to fill the

374
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,520
silence while everybody's giving
their emojis.

375
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,040
I definitely do when I've had
guests on, you know, when I do

376
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,720
those one-on-one guest
interviews, I definitely do.

377
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,000
It looked like most people said
that they do here in the room.

378
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,280
There were a couple that said
no.

379
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,720
Anyone on stage.
If you said no will you come off

380
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,560
mic for a second because I
forgot who did?

381
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,760
Amanda said no.
Or Alex, go ahead.

382
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,160
Yes, I don't have a consent.
OK.

383
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,840
I don't have a consent.
You don't worry about it.

384
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:05,080
No, I don't, OK.
Because at the end of the day,

385
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,480
people are saying yes to the
podcast.

386
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,480
And if they've got kind of like
what Sid is talking about, like

387
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,440
if they're there and they're
recording and we can talk about

388
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,840
the, I've talked about this
situation before.

389
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,720
Guests have asked me to take
stuff out.

390
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,520
And within reason, you take it
out and, you know, you try to do

391
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,120
the right thing.
And I think doing the right

392
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:33,160
thing is never the wrong thing.
Dave in the audience and in the

393
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,560
chat says that he's never asked
for consent.

394
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,920
And I know Dave does multiple
podcasts.

395
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,440
He doesn't do just one.
I Dave, I forgot what I saw you

396
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,440
say recently was like 6 or 8
different podcasts, something

397
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,360
like that.
And he doesn't ask for consent.

398
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,640
So there you go.
And Sid said the same thing, 09

399
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,360
different podcasts Dave does.
Dave very impressive.

400
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,160
I don't know that I could keep
my sanity if I was doing 9

401
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,800
different podcasts, you know,
like at all Active.

402
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,520
And Dave, one of these days we
come up on stage.

403
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,400
We got to get you up here on
stage and get to know you a

404
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,680
little bit better as a
community.

405
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,400
And he's now showing us the
cuckoo sign, I guess, for

406
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,480
himself.
Jeff, good morning.

407
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,120
Thank you for joining us on the
stage.

408
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:20,200
What did you want to add about
this whole area of consent,

409
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,880
verbal, written, etcetera?
I just want to say Dave is

410
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,480
awesome.
And anyway, but nine podcasts is

411
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,280
impressive.
I don't ask.

412
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,240
I never have.
I'm of the mindset that when I'm

413
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,520
reaching out to a publicist or
direct to this person, here's

414
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,880
the zoom, you know, I'm video,
we're going to video it.

415
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,720
And then we get on and we're
looking at each other and we

416
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,600
spend an hour together.
Like to me, that's that because

417
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,880
what are we getting it for?
Because what you said earlier

418
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,760
about the manipulation of
something, even if I had

419
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,920
consent, they're not consenting
for you to manipulate it.

420
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,960
Make me look bad.
You're still going to get sued.

421
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,760
So you know, the thing about
protecting yourself and getting

422
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,080
sued is even if you pay for
trademarks, do all these things,

423
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,160
if you have to defend it or do
it, it's going to cost you

424
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,880
thousands of dollars regardless.
So whether you have the consent

425
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,280
or not doesn't prevent you from
being sued and losing.

426
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,320
That's true.
Tons of money in the process.

427
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:24,680
I don't think anyone here is
doing anything egregious or that

428
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,320
we are running these crazy
gotcha interviews and stuff like

429
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,840
that.
So I don't, you know, I don't,

430
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,280
you know, to me it's we're all
in the safe zone.

431
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,840
But, and again, not a lawyer,
but you know what I mean.

432
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,640
Yeah, I do.
And I'm surprised.

433
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,840
I thought for sure Jeff's answer
was going to be that he does

434
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,640
have people sign something
because Jeff's interviewing a

435
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,400
lot of actors and, and what,
what do we call them?

436
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,480
Jeff B List Celebrities.
I call them.

437
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,640
I say they were really famous
when they were famous.

438
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,160
Yeah.
Right, right.

439
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,680
Yeah.
But a lot of times they're

440
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,520
asking me to be on the show too,
right.

441
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,000
So you know it, you know, if you
have guests reaching out to you,

442
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,840
you know, to me, that's like
it's not consents, but it's

443
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,240
like, you know, if you were to
create a paper trail of hey,

444
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,240
judge, here's here's all this
game to be, you know, it's like

445
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,960
it seems like the reasonable
thing would be like everyone

446
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,480
here knew what they were getting
into.

447
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,480
Everyone.
You know, Sir, did you know what

448
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:24,600
a podcast was?
Yes.

449
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,400
And you agreed to be on Mark's
show?

450
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,720
Yes.
Then then what?

451
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,640
Why are we here, you know?
Right.

452
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,360
Yeah, and here I was saying, you
know, with celebrities, like, I

453
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:36,720
was surprised that you didn't
have them sign anything.

454
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,320
Then I'm looking in the chat and
Dave has gone on to share that

455
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,200
he's had AUS federal judge on
his podcast and didn't ask for

456
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,400
consent.
And then he went on to say I run

457
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,960
with scissors.
So Yep, there you go.

458
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,360
So a lot of us just don't really
care.

459
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,680
I'm sure Gordon Firemark is his
ears are ringing right now and

460
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,280
I'm sure he hates this
conversation because I know he

461
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,400
would probably want us all to do
the consent form thing, but OK.

462
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,120
And then there there's another
facet of this question here,

463
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,920
right?
So he can't remove Chris Baker,

464
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,320
can't remove the YouTube video
without losing all of the data,

465
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,920
all the comments that comes
through on the existing video

466
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,440
that has the question at the
very beginning asking for

467
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,640
consent.
So should he care?

468
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:31,720
Should he just move on or take
it down and just lose those

469
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,840
numbers?
Let's go to Billy first as as

470
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,600
our guest on stage.
Yes, Billy, go ahead.

471
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:38,520
Repay.
That.

472
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,960
I'm pretty sure YouTube has an
editor within its own software

473
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,360
that you can pull that right out
because he can go in and clip

474
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:49,000
out old ads and stuff and
replace them so.

475
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,800
That's a great point.
And that's so funny because

476
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,080
that's like the one thing
thinking when I was thinking

477
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,480
ahead about this, it's the one
thing that never even went

478
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,440
through my mind.
And I know that it has its own

479
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,200
editor.
You think that that would

480
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,960
probably solve the whole thing?
Yeah.

481
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,960
Yeah, I know people will pull
ads out and replace them, so

482
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:07,000
it'll definitely.
Work.

483
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,640
Yeah.
And that editor kind of sucks.

484
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,440
I think they've improved it
recently.

485
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,520
I think I read something and I
haven't looked at it yet, but I

486
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,760
can't stand their editor.
It's not easy to find those

487
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,400
precise cuts.
It's a little sloppy.

488
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,040
Go ahead, Ashley.
Well, I guess now knowing that

489
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,320
the.
Editor is there.

490
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,400
If you can, if you can make a
clean cut, do that.

491
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,320
But I would also, you know, if
perhaps you just uploaded it and

492
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,320
you don't have that much
engagement or that many views,

493
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,200
how long does it take really to
just put it up again?

494
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,840
Not that long.
I would maybe consider doing

495
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,320
that.
And if you do have engagement, I

496
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,880
don't think it's that big of a
deal.

497
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,320
I think if anything it shows
that you're conscious of, you

498
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,600
know, so legal factors on your
podcast, I wouldn't worry about.

499
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,480
It.
OK, there you go.

500
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,040
And I think next in line, let's
go to Amanda.

501
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,200
And we're going to wrap this up
soon because we've got some more

502
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,680
stuff to get to.
So go ahead, Amanda.

503
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,000
I agree with Ashley.
I think if somebody heard that,

504
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,560
nobody would think anything of
it.

505
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,560
It's a recorded conversation and
and that makes sense.

506
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,400
But also to her point, if it can
be edited, clean it up and it

507
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,960
just kind of depends how many I
think interactions you've

508
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,840
already had.
But what he did put in that post

509
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,560
was it would make things out of
order and I can respect that if

510
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,520
he was wanting it to be in a
certain order of progression.

511
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,800
So I would say keep it 100% if
it if it causes use to have to

512
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,680
do a up like upload.
It wasn't like he started it.

513
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,560
Like, I'm so sad you're here.
I need you to agree to this.

514
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,360
All right, let's move on.
Like, as long as there's no, you

515
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,240
know, tone to the recording
conversation that would make

516
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,120
either one look bad or
inappropriate, I think it's

517
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,560
totally fine.
Yeah, good point.

518
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,920
And that was, I'm glad you
brought that up too, because I

519
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,040
was talking about earlier when I
first brought up the question.

520
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,960
You could do a playlist on
YouTube as an example.

521
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,200
So you could have your video
playlist of all your podcast

522
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,040
episodes and that can be
manipulated.

523
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,800
You can sort that accordingly
for public display.

524
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,920
So that's another option.
And if you are leaving the guest

525
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,680
consent disclaimer in there,
another thing you could do is

526
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,360
just address it as it is, right?
So we add chapter markers a lot

527
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,280
of times in over on YouTube,
right, to identify intro,

528
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,800
identify the different questions
or answers being shared.

529
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:39,880
Just start a 000 guest con
content disclaimer or guest

530
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,240
consent disclaimer, right?
Just put it in there.

531
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,640
And I think that almost I don't
know there.

532
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,600
It adds almost another facet to
it, right?

533
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,040
It just, it almost looks
intentional and I don't think

534
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,720
to, I think everybody's point, I
don't think the audience really

535
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,720
cares.
And now they can skip it if you

536
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680
do it in chapter form.
And if they want to just skip

537
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,800
right past it and go to to the
intro, they'll just tap on the

538
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,160
next time stamp and go right to
it.

539
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,920
That's another way to do it.
So let's say we take Billy's

540
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,240
advice and use the YouTube
editor and let's say you have my

541
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,160
experience with the YouTube
editor and it's just not working

542
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,960
well for you.
Then leave it in and don't lose

543
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,880
all the analytics, don't lose
all the comments and just put it

544
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,080
in as a time stamp.
Just acknowledge it.

545
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Chris Baker, I hope we've
answered your question.

546
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,120
I know I don't.
Forget Nick.

547
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,720
Don't forget Nick.
There you go.

548
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,480
All right Nick, you have the
final word.

549
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,040
Any anything additional you want
to add to this?

550
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,560
I was going to see what Billy
said.

551
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,280
You can edit it on YouTube.
If for whatever reason editing

552
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,080
doesn't work or maybe you don't
have access to the editor, you

553
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,720
could always mark the video as
unlisted and re upload a new

554
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,760
version of it.
That way you don't lose any of

555
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,560
the analytics that your video
has caught up to that point.

556
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,160
The only way someone would see
that video is if they had a

557
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,240
direct link to it.
And then your new video would

558
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,840
kind of take precedence over the
one that was there.

559
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,520
But not you.
You're not speaking about

560
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,720
YouTube specifically, are you?
Yeah.

561
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,920
Yeah, YouTube specifically
because you could mark the.

562
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,800
You can't replace a file,
though.

563
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,880
No, no, no, not replace it.
You just mark the video that

564
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,560
exists on there as unlisted.
That makes total sense.

565
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:19,720
OK, so there you go.
There's.

566
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,280
I have a quick question.
Sure, yes or no kind of

567
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,400
question.
Sure.

568
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,320
Does the order in which you
upload them actually really

569
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,280
matter?
The sequence of them?

570
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,360
Is that really a thing?
Good question.

571
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,160
I'm going to let Amanda take it
because I think my internet's

572
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,600
getting screwy and I'm going to
fix it.

573
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,960
Go ahead, Amanda.
I think for a lot of people

574
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,720
know, but there are sometimes
that maybe there are podcast

575
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,960
reference podcast episodes
referenced that if you're taking

576
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,400
somebody to another place and
you've already pre mentioned an

577
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,760
episode number, like go back to
episode 21 if you want to catch

578
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,080
this interview.
So I do think there are times

579
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,840
that there's a progression of
how they should have appeared or

580
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,320
you've referenced a number.
So I feel like yes and no, you

581
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,040
know what I mean?
Said.

582
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,200
Yeah, And I think that also
they, you know, another thing to

583
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,840
think about is there are a lot
of podcasters out there that are

584
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,680
strategically organizing their
episode order, right?

585
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,440
Like, like there's a reason for
it.

586
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,800
It's almost like chapters to a
book and they want you to go in

587
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,520
sequence.
I'm not saying this is every

588
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,680
podcast.
A lot of us, it probably doesn't

589
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,440
matter, right?
Like what last week's interview

590
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,800
or last week's episode was about
has nothing to do with this

591
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,280
week.
So it doesn't matter if they go

592
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,320
out of order.
But there are plenty of podcasts

593
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,440
that have a specific order for a
specific reason.

594
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,360
So I know you're trying to move
on from this topic, but one

595
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,880
thing that because this was kind
of stressing me out when I

596
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,440
started doing the AI briefing
because it was a daily podcast

597
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:55,360
and it would clutter up my the
channel feed and it would

598
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,960
basically drown out all the
other videos that I created.

599
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,120
But what YouTube actually does
is allows you to customize your

600
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,760
profile and if you use playlist
and things like that, you can

601
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,720
basically say, I want this
playlist to show up first.

602
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,120
So I had one playlist for all of
my like how to explain her

603
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,520
videos and I had another
playlist that showed up

604
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,120
underneath that with all of the
AI briefing episodes.

605
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,720
That way when anyone landed on
my channel, they were seeing

606
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,760
what I wanted them to see and
not necessarily what was the

607
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,680
most recent upload, right?
You can still see that in

608
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,400
chronological order, but I don't
think it's as important if

609
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,520
you're taking advantage of those
customization features on the

610
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,200
actual channel page itself.
You can't control that.

611
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,440
Right, Right.
OK, that makes sense.

612
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,960
And yeah, I just recently was
finally playing a little bit

613
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:49,360
more with my YouTube page and
fixing that landing page so that

614
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,520
people are seeing what they're
supposed to see and they're not

615
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,320
seeing videos that I posted like
15 years ago of my brother and

616
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,960
his band playing in New York
City, right?

617
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:03,680
I get great video.
I'm very proud of my brother and

618
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,880
totally irrelevant now to the
content that I'm putting out

619
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,520
there.
So I've since hidden that video

620
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,040
also, but also organized my page
in such a way that makes more

621
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,159
sense to what I talked about now
these days.

622
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,400
Good point, Nick, thank you for
sharing and thanks all to all of

623
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,600
you for sharing around this
topic for Chris.

624
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,040
I'm sure this is a lot of good
info.

625
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,560
And now I'd like to start
inviting everybody who's

626
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,360
listening live to come up on
stage and share with those of us

627
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,560
who are here.
And I said come up on stage and

628
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,320
I was trying to avoid that.
Come join us on stage.

629
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,360
And those of us who are already
here are going to share our wins

630
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,679
from this past week.
So this is your time to shine,

631
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:53,320
your time to stop and recognize
the things that you are

632
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:58,040
accomplishing, big or small.
If it's a bad week and you get

633
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,400
out of bed every day this week
and face those days and that's

634
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,200
the only when you can conjure up
right now, go for it.

635
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,240
Let's hear it, let's talk about
it and let's celebrate.

636
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,280
And if you've got a big
podcasting win, that's the those

637
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,280
are the big ones I want to hear.
And it's OK if you have wins

638
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,080
from other areas to share with
us.

639
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,040
So let's dig in first.
I'm going to go to and and Nick

640
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,000
bounced right at wins from the
week.

641
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,560
He just disappeared from the
room and I know that he's

642
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,200
probably just getting to work
right now.

643
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,560
I'm going to share.
Nick's win is he had a great

644
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,840
family vacation this past week.
There's Nick's OK with that.

645
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Dr. I'm coming to you first.
Please share.

646
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,920
Dang it.
Are you unprepared?

647
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,160
I have a backup one because I
was trying to think of a better

648
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,360
one, but the better one did not
has not come to mind.

649
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:50,760
Yet.
OK, well then I'm going to get a

650
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,600
backup.
One, hold on dear.

651
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,320
There's no such thing as the
backup win.

652
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,120
There's no such thing as a
better win.

653
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,600
A win is a win is a win.
Mark says this in the beginning.

654
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,240
Regardless of how small or how
big it is, it is a win.

655
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:06,880
So welcome and you need to jump
in and share and let's

656
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,240
celebrate.
Thank you, Sid.

657
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:11,240
Well, you might be eating those
words after you hear mine, so

658
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:12,520
stop it.
My win.

659
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,240
My win is that I had a new
toilet and stuff.

660
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:19,920
I love it.
Oh.

661
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,600
My gosh.
Oh my God.

662
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,680
This is pause here and dive into
why she needed a new toilet and

663
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,960
who actually broke they.
Were drilling through the floor.

664
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,840
It was just so weird.
Oh my God.

665
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,800
Yeah.
Oh, and Dave gave me a little

666
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,680
toilet emoji.
Thank you so much.

667
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,840
Yes, yeah.
And Speaking of Dave, I'll share

668
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,680
Dave's win out loud since he
shared it in the chat.

669
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,920
Dave's win is he episode 600 was
recorded for his podcast Living

670
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,920
the Next Chapter.
And this is a podcast that's

671
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,480
three years old.
So congratulations Dave. 600 is

672
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,080
a huge milestone.
So yeah, certainly worth

673
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:04,360
celebrating.
Not a lot of us get to 600

674
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,040
episodes.
So kudos to you for doing that.

675
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,480
All right, we're going to keep
it moving and go to let's, let's

676
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,240
mix it up a little bit.
Let's go to Dan.

677
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:16,280
Dan, good morning to you again.
Would you share any wins from

678
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,320
your week?
We had a wonderful July 4th

679
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,480
weekend.
So I am a board member here for

680
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Cocoa Beach Main St. and we had
three extremely successful

681
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,400
events that took place this past
weekend.

682
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:37,080
I connected with the owners of
Caltech and a few other great

683
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,520
people, but pulled off a golf
tournament, a pickleball

684
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,720
tournament, and an exciting St.
party with a drone show that

685
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:48,080
everybody's been talking about
instead of fireworks for Cocoa

686
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,880
Beach.
So I'll take all of those as

687
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,440
wins.
That's awesome.

688
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,880
Congratulations and thanks for
coming up with those wins.

689
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,880
It's certainly worth
celebrating.

690
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,800
And yeah, drones in the
fireworks or as the fireworks I

691
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,840
saw recently, has anyone else
seen it 'cause I know it's gone

692
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,880
viral.
There's a video of a guy who

693
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,880
sent off his drone into the
middle of a fireworks show.

694
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:14,080
So it was literally up there
with the with the fireworks as

695
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,160
they were bursting.
So you get to see it in a whole

696
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,560
new perspective.
And it was really cool to see.

697
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,560
I'll see if I can find that.
And if I can, I'll put it in the

698
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,560
show notes if anybody's
interested in seeing that.

699
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,680
It's really impressive.
And I guess a little risky too

700
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,800
because if I guess if those
fireworks hit, hit the drone, it

701
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,520
probably wouldn't be a good
situation.

702
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,200
Thank you, Dan, appreciate your
share.

703
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,720
Let's check in with Billy.
Billy, good morning.

704
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:42,440
I know you've got at least one
win because I think you shared

705
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,760
it publicly earlier this week.
Go for it.

706
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:52,080
So wins, wins, wins couple.
So one personal business win is

707
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,480
I uploaded my 4000 piece of
content on Amazon.

708
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,520
So it's always fun.
So actually over over 4000, but

709
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,760
hit that mark.
And then I've been running a

710
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,520
little mastermind group for a
little over a year.

711
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,120
And so I had one of my
mastermind members come to a

712
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:16,040
meeting last week and they close
out a $9000 month last month.

713
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,120
Wow.
Using some of the strategies

714
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,720
that that have been shared.
So yeah, it was, it was good

715
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:24,520
because, you know, the whole
thing with that group was like,

716
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,200
I'm just testing to see if
people can get the same or

717
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,000
similar results that I do and
they do.

718
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,360
So it's amazing.
So it was a big win for her and

719
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,520
a big win for me.
That's awesome.

720
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,240
And real quick, Billy, although
I know you're not currently

721
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:43,440
taking any new mastermind
members, you want to share just

722
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,080
briefly, what is that
mastermind?

723
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,880
So basically it all it is, is
where I get together with

724
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,760
content creators who are part of
the Amazon Influence program and

725
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,760
just teach them how to leverage
these, these, you know, selling

726
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,760
programs or affiliate programs
or whatever to work directly

727
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,880
with brands and create multiple
streams of revenue.

728
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,240
And so that's what I've been
doing.

729
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:07,080
And and yeah, so the mastermind
is going to be replaced by.

730
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,600
Like a three to.
Five day intensive or challenge

731
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,720
or whatever.
So I'm just seeing how how what

732
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:16,640
the interest is in that.
But then I may reopen the

733
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,960
mastermind later on or or
something, I don't know.

734
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:20,880
I'm in the brainstorming phase
of that.

735
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,320
So.
Well, congratulations and

736
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,640
congratulations to that member
of your mastermind, $9000 a

737
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,400
month and there's nothing to
sneeze at.

738
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,320
Very cool that you have been
able to help people accomplish

739
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,400
big things like that, Billy.
And we're going to put a link in

740
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,720
the show notes to Billy's short
form video that he put out all

741
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:42,120
about that this very thing that
he's sharing with us.

742
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:48,000
So check that out to learn more.
Thank you, Billy, and let's go

743
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,880
to Ashley.
Ashley, please share some wins

744
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,680
from your week.
So these are shared wins with my

745
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,800
client Karen, who's the host of
My Happy Ass Life.

746
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,200
We are back in production.
We filmed 3 episodes this week.

747
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,760
We'll be launching the new
season in August.

748
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,520
And the other win is that we are
fully sponsored.

749
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,560
We have 6 sponsors for the
upcoming season. 1 is a clothing

750
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,960
brand, there's a hair stylist,
there's a pine straw company, a

751
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,600
tax strategist.
There's a nice variety of

752
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,080
sponsors.
And I just want to, you know,

753
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,560
share with folks that we didn't.
We don't have a big audience.

754
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,760
When you look at our numbers,
it's really nothing to be all

755
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,240
that impressed with, but these
folks just believe in the show

756
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:33,720
and Karen, and they really want
to support her and that's our

757
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:35,160
wins for the week.
Yeah.

758
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,120
And I'm going to take a guess
that another reason why the

759
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,520
sponsors are interested is
because big or small of an

760
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,240
audience, it's probably their
target audience.

761
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:46,280
And that's valuable to them,
right?

762
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,040
They want to be in front of
those people.

763
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,200
So whether it's, you know, 100
people, 1000 people, 10,000

764
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,080
people, the bottom line is if
it's their people, there's some

765
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,640
value to that.
And if they, which it sounds

766
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,800
like they probably have, if
those sponsors have done their

767
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,640
homework, they know just how
powerful podcast advertising can

768
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,480
be.
OK, Amanda, coming to you.

769
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:11,080
Please share some wins with us.
So if you've been a listener of

770
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,120
the show for a long time, you
know, I try everything and

771
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,440
anything to get people into my
little community to help support

772
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,440
the community, pay into the
community and help us survive

773
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,080
during very lean time.
That this week it was so simple

774
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,480
because just a little Petunia
popped up in the sidewalk in

775
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,360
front of my store, like right in
front of the store and Barber

776
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,200
shop that I just love my Barber
lady.

777
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,240
She's so great.
And it's kind of, I looked at

778
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:40,280
that and I was like, I can do
something with this.

779
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,320
This little Petunia in this
crack on the sidewalk has now

780
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,840
caused people to like, come and
take pictures with it.

781
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,760
Wow, it's famous.
It is, and people are leaving

782
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,880
things by the sweet little
petunia.

783
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,600
So it started with the sweet
little petunia.

784
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,760
And I had a little bench that I
put a little frog on and I took

785
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,200
a picture and that's what
started it.

786
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,160
And I just told the story, did a
little poem with it.

787
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,040
And I just think people are
needing that sweetness, the

788
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,080
wholesomeness.
There was just something special

789
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,320
about it.
And so it's it's caused just in

790
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,760
the last couple of days, this
little bit of extra attention to

791
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,000
Ida.
That's good attention.

792
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,880
And so I wasn't expecting that
kind of little win this week.

793
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,000
But hey, you just kind of pay
attention to your surroundings

794
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,960
sometimes and the opportunities
right in front of you.

795
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,480
So it's just been a fun weekend
and I can't wait to kind of see

796
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,080
where this journey takes it
until, I'm sorry, but all

797
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,080
flowers eventually die in
Michigan.

798
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,120
And anywhere.
Or anywhere, right?

799
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,400
And so I'm kind of just
documenting the journey because

800
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,440
I think there's even some beauty
in when that Petunia goes away

801
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,520
and what will pop up next.
So I'm I'm just excited to be on

802
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,600
this journey.
And my poor mom thought I was

803
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,640
losing my mind when I was
explaining it to her.

804
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,640
She didn't understand.
So much of her life is like,

805
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,760
gosh, this child of mine.
I mean, I wish there could be a

806
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,400
podcast between the two of you.
She.

807
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,640
Never would.
But she was like, Amanda, I'm

808
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,200
looking at you like you're my 8
year old child who picked a

809
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,080
flower and it's going to die and
you think it's going to live

810
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,080
forever.
I'm like mom, I'm aware it won't

811
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,680
live forever, but that doesn't
mean we can't enjoy it's

812
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:23,080
tremendous beauty and story
today and for however many days

813
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,920
it's going to live.
So here she thought I was losing

814
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,840
my mind.
I'm like, I promise I'm good mom

815
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,080
and it's bringing joy to the
community.

816
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,240
It's just it's special.
So I don't have any regrets

817
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:35,720
about the Petunia.
We're and we're sharing a link

818
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:39,160
to your TikTok video, the first
one of the Ida Petunia.

819
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,880
We're going to put that in the
show notes so people can see

820
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,920
what she's talking about.
And I love the little bench you

821
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,920
put next to it, although it I
think that's a cat that's on the

822
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,280
bench.
Although it just looks to me

823
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,280
from at least from the picture
and from a distance it looks

824
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,000
like a little piece of poop.
Oh, it's there was a little

825
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,560
frog.
OK, it's a frog.

826
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,000
And then yesterday, Jesus
appeared.

827
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,600
Oh wow.
And to today, I already have a

828
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,480
sneak peek of what somebody's
leaving.

829
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,840
They sent me a picture and it's
a Lego set of Jamie from the

830
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,640
Rusty Cup, myself from Pressed
Rose and Amy the Barber.

831
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,720
And they have yellow flowers,
little scissors and a little

832
00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:18,640
coffee cup.
So little like Lego figurines

833
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,760
are going to be out there today.
So it's just going to be super

834
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:22,640
sweet.
I just love it.

835
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,560
OK, there it is.
Thank you.

836
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,280
Congratulations on your win,
your Petunia win, Amanda, love

837
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:30,920
that.
And it looks like we've got a

838
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,720
couple more people that have
joined us from the audience.

839
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:37,480
And then I'll share after them
my wins from the week.

840
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,920
So let's go to Yvonne.
Yvonne, welcome back to the

841
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,080
stage.
It's been a minute since we've

842
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,040
had you up here.
I see you popping in in the

843
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,360
audience from time to time.
Good to have you up here.

844
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,680
Please share your wins from this
past week.

845
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,800
Thank you.
Well, I love the Petunia series.

846
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,480
Amanda, I have been following
very good.

847
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,440
And yeah, I am.
One of the reasons you haven't

848
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,480
really heard from me lately is
because my very soon after my

849
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,960
kiddo graduated from high
school, my mom, who had driven

850
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:15,120
from Texas to be here for it in
Connecticut, then drove up to

851
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:20,160
Maine to visit her sister and
ended up having a heart attack

852
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,600
and then had to have open heart
surgery.

853
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:28,800
So I have been in Maine kind of
being here and, and figuring out

854
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,720
logistics with thank God it
happened here because we've got

855
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:37,560
family support and they were
able to help us find an

856
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,400
apartment for her and her
husband to stay in for the

857
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,600
recovery.
So, so I've been busy and part

858
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,760
of my win is that I am here and
able to help.

859
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:53,360
So that's been great.
And I timed out perfectly with

860
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:59,280
my podcast break.
So that's when that was already

861
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,520
planned and I've already got a
lot of the work done to keep

862
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,160
some stuff rolling while I am on
break.

863
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,920
So got little things to do, but
mostly things are are in good

864
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,280
shape.
So those are some major wins,

865
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,040
man.
And she's she's recovering

866
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,480
pretty well.
So yeah.

867
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:23,240
So that's my win and I'm in the
meantime, I have found beautiful

868
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:26,400
river walk in town.
Your Petunia like appreciating

869
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,640
that beauty.
Amanda is kind of what brought

870
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:33,680
me up because this river walk is
is just gorgeous here and I've

871
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:38,960
been skating or walking it.
The other bonus is that I'm

872
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:44,160
staying with one of my cousins
and his family and just getting

873
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:46,760
bonus time with them.
It's been incredible.

874
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,000
So yeah, big wins.
Awesome.

875
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,240
Thank you for sharing those wins
and I'm glad recovery is going

876
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:57,120
well and wish her all the best.
And yeah, glad that she was

877
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,680
there in an area where there was
family to help support.

878
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,480
That's great news and really
scary.

879
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,360
So I'm I'm glad it sounds like
it's all working out.

880
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,560
Thank you for sharing, Yvonne.
Let's go to Brian.

881
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,960
Brian, good morning.
Welcome back to the stage.

882
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,360
Did you want to share some wins
with us?

883
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:19,800
Yes, Good morning, Mark.
First, on the weekly live show

884
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:26,000
thing I am testing out putting
what the theme of the show will

885
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,320
be.
As you know I do the Brian

886
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:35,800
Coletto show but I'm putting
some more words into the title

887
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,800
they what the topic or topics
will be.

888
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:44,600
I'm testing that out to see if
that can get more traction to my

889
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:53,640
videos on YouTube specifically.
I've ran at least a mile for 10

890
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:59,920
straight days, so I'm kind of
spilling a little bit of a goal,

891
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,040
but I'll be posting more about
it soon.

892
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:09,440
And the other one is that last
night I got to meet a celebrity

893
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:14,240
chef at a networking event.
He was just inducted into the

894
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:16,120
New Jersey Hall of Fame.
Cool.

895
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,840
Do you know his name?
David Burke is his name.

896
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,320
Thank you, Brian.
Congratulations on all those

897
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,440
wins.
Always fun to meet a celebrity.

898
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,520
Did you get a chance to talk to
him at all?

899
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,520
Like, like in depth?
I mean, not really so much in

900
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,320
depth, but you got to meet him.
Yeah, I got to meet him.

901
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,320
I didn't even know his name
until I saw the promo from the

902
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,960
chamber.
So I don't pay attention to much

903
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,800
to to food stuff.
I thought it was cool and it and

904
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,960
I did get the photo op.
That was the most stressful part

905
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:53,360
of last night was getting that
photo op for my socials.

906
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,080
Otherwise, I had a good time.
Congratulations, Brian.

907
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,720
Thank you for sharing all those
wins and keep us posted on your

908
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:03,720
strategy there and let us know
how that's working out I'd love

909
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:08,440
to hear more about that thank
you you're welcome all right so

910
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,280
I'll share quickly my.
Wins.

911
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,760
Don't forget Sid.
Oh, did we skip Sid?

912
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,120
Oh my goodness.
I think so, unless I'm making

913
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,120
no.
I think you're right.

914
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,840
I think you're right, Sid.
Please forgive me, please.

915
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,480
And please share any wins from
your past week.

916
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,080
Oh.
My gosh, you're too funny, man.

917
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:29,840
Our friend and my friend Stacy
Sherman has been pushing me to

918
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,960
get outside of my comfort zone
and she's been telling me, like

919
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,680
said, you need to do more public
speaking.

920
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,400
You need to get more stages, you
need to read this book.

921
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,320
And so I finally read the book
and she goes, you need to go to

922
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:41,840
these events.
What book?

923
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,640
The referable speaker is really
good book.

924
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,320
I read it over the 4th of July
weekend.

925
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,640
And then I read another book.
So I listened to another book

926
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,040
Stacy told me to listen to.
And when she mentioned the book,

927
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,320
I'm like, well, yeah, you told
me about that book like 6 months

928
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,800
ago and I, I bought it.
It's sitting here, so I'll read

929
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,080
it now.
So anyways, that led me to

930
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,640
signing up to go to the heroic
speaker event called Core.

931
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,080
It's a free event that you have
to pay deposit, you get it back

932
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,240
when you show up.
So I signed up to go to that to

933
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:13,000
really start diving into public
speaking.

934
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:17,560
And so I'm being, I'm
celebrating being pushed by a

935
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,440
friend to do something that I
want to do right, pushing me a

936
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,760
little bit outside my comfort
zone.

937
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,080
I'm going to an event that I
don't know a single person,

938
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,640
which is also really cool.
And I'm leaning into doing

939
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,960
something that I want to do.
So those are my wins for the

940
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,320
week.
Very cool.

941
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:35,680
Sid, please share with us a link
to the core program just because

942
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,120
I think that would be a cool
thing to include in our show

943
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:39,320
notes.
Thank you.

944
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,960
Awesome.
And congratulations to you on

945
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,520
all of your wins and for pushing
yourself to be uncomfortable and

946
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:51,360
setting a good example for us
that yeah, we are it where the

947
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:55,280
magic happens is where we push
ourselves to be uncomfortable.

948
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,280
So I am looking forward to that.
And I see you as being a really

949
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,280
powerful public speaker.
Looking forward to following

950
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:07,080
this journey with you.
As for me, I've been sharing

951
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,000
over the past couple months
really that business hadn't been

952
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,720
as strong as in months and years
past and I was certainly getting

953
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:17,800
a little frustrated about it.
And I have since over the past

954
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,880
few weeks been sharing some wins
that have shown a turn around

955
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:26,840
and that continues.
This week I got a current client

956
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:31,320
who a consulting client who I'm
helping with their podcast.

957
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:36,480
It's a couple they have hired or
really purchased an add on

958
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,760
service that we provide here at
Ironic Media where we are

959
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,280
helping them with their Meta ads
campaign.

960
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,120
So this is our second client
now, a current client of my

961
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,560
company who has purchased this
new add on program that we offer

962
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:57,400
to help people affordably get
onto Meta ads to end to get more

963
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,560
eyes and ears on their podcasts
and or businesses.

964
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,320
That's one and second, I wish
she was still here.

965
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:08,600
I saw Renee was in the audience
earlier and Renee often joins us

966
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:13,200
up here on stage as well.
Unofficially, I've been hired by

967
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,280
Renee and her business partner
to launch their podcast.

968
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,000
I say unofficially because we
just haven't signed the bottom

969
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,040
line yet, but we had a great
call yesterday and they said

970
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,400
they do in fact want to move
forward with my help to launch

971
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,760
their podcast.
And there may be some future

972
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,640
business that comes out of that
too with me helping their other

973
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,040
clients launch their podcasts.
So to be continued.

974
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,200
Their two, two wins, I'm really
excited about.

975
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,600
Again, it's nice to have a bit
of a turn around here when

976
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,160
business has been a little
challenging, to say the least.

977
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,440
I'm excited to celebrate that
with you all.

978
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,600
I'm glad to share that with you
and we are back again next week.

979
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,920

you.
