341 - How to Use Platforms to Create Two-Way Conversations and Build Community Connections

1
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,040
Good morning podcasting Morning
Chat.

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:14,240
Today is Friday, July 18th,
2025, and today we're exploring

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,120
how to turn your podcast into a
real two way conversation with

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,640
tools, platforms and creative
ideas that go way beyond just

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,680
publishing.
So if you're listening live on

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,960
Clubhouse, hit the share button,
bottom left hand side of the

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,600
screen and share it.
However, Clubhouse lets you.

8
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,880
And if you're listening via
podcast, please share this

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,960
episode with a fellow podcaster.
And now give us about 30 seconds

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,640
and we'll get things rolling.
Thanks for being here.

11
00:01:20,470 --> 00:01:22,350
Good morning again, podcasting
Morning chat.

12
00:01:22,350 --> 00:01:25,990
Thank you for being here.
I am your host Mark Ronik, and

13
00:01:25,990 --> 00:01:29,910
currently on stage with me we
have producer Ashley Feller, Dr.

14
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:34,150
Faye, Nick Nalback, Alex Baelish
and Amanda Sharp.

15
00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:37,830
And for those of you who are
regular listeners, no Sid

16
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:41,520
Meadows today.
Sid is off to Europe I believe

17
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,080
for his, I think it's a 10 day
or longer vacation.

18
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,680
So good for Sid.
Looking forward to hearing all

19
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,240
about his trip and he will be
greatly missed while he's gone

20
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,440
for sure.
And Dave, I'm looking at you

21
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,000
here flashing the Kermit on the
phone emoji.

22
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,480
I'm trying to figure out why.
What?

23
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,280
What is what's?
I love Kermit the Frog, so you

24
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,000
caught my attention.
And why do we have Kermit on the

25
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,200
phone?
I'm curious.

26
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,160
And by the way, Dave, let us
know.

27
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,240
You often decline the
invitations to come up on stage,

28
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,440
which is fine.
So if that is your preference,

29
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:19,800
let us know how yesterday when I
know you were part of Podcasting

30
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,960
Made Simple, that's with Alex
Sanfilippo of Pod Match.

31
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,920
That's his event that he does
quarterly.

32
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:27,560
And I know you were one of those
speakers.

33
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,720
So would love to hear from you
how it went, whether it's in the

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,280
chat or up here on stage.
Thanks for being here, Dave, and

35
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,160
thanks to all of you who are
here this morning.

36
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Bright and early.
Couple of housekeeping items, if

37
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,720
you don't mind.
Again, a reminder, the

38
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Podcasting morning chat is up
for a podcast award as a matter

39
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,680

And then you when you get there,

41
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,680
you just have to sign up to do

42
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,440
It's free to do.
It takes a minute to do.

43
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,760
And then go find us under the
Adam Curry People's Choice

44

nominees and look for us under
the T section.

46
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,600
It's alphabetically placed and
they put us under TS for the

47
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720
podcasting morning chat, and
we're also in the Education

00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,960
category, so look for us there
as well.

49
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,680
Search for the Education
category and then search for us

50
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,360
under T for the podcasting
morning chat.

51
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,880
Really would appreciate your
vote.

52
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,040
I know I'm sure you hear about
this kind of stuff from other

53
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,160
podcasters that you listen to.
And if we've provided any value

54
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,560
to you whatsoever in your
journey, whether it's today for

55
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,280
your first time joining us or
you've been part of this

56
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,480
community for years, would love
to get a vote from you if you

57
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,400
don't mind.
Now we have some other

58
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,560
housekeeping news.
I was hoping Jonathan would make

59
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,840
it here and perhaps he still
will.

60
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,960
But I say that because Jonathan,
as many of you know, he's been

61
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,640
very active over on the the
sister.

62
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,240
Well, it's not really a sister
app, the competing app to this

63
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,200
very platform on Clubhouse
Chatter and he's been killing it

64
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,120
over there.
I go and and follow him

65
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,200
sometimes and he fills up rooms
and lots of cool features over

66
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,519
at Chatter.
And here's the deal.

67
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,640
Before you panic, I will.
I'll just say it and then you'll

68
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,880
panic for a second.
We're going to be on Chatter.

69
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,840
The podcasting morning chat is
going to be on Chatter this

70
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,120
coming Tuesday.
However, if you don't want to be

71
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,800
a part of Chatter, we're also
going to be right here on on

72
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,560
Clubhouse, on YouTube.
We'll still do it.

73
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:43,880
We have a solution to simulcast
from here and Chatter and I'm

74
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,520
really excited about it.
It will be a little bit of a

75
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,160
challenge for me.
I'll be now navigating a few

76
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,120
platforms at once, but
Jonathan's gonna, I think, join

77
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,600
us and stay over on the Chatter
side just to help me maintain

78
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,400
manage that as we're doing a
show.

79
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000
So I'm going to give you
actually, Ashley, if you don't

80
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,880
mind putting in the show notes
and pinning it here on

81
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,320
Clubhouse, the link to our
empowered podcasting community

82
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,680
that I did start over at Chatter
to at least give you a head

83
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,200
start.
If you're interested and curious

84
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,840
about that platform.
If there's a lot of similarities

85
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:22,560
to it, it'll feel relatively
familiar with some additional

86
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,160
bells and whistles like video.
So now you won't necessarily

87
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,160
have to jump over to YouTube to
see yours truly.

88
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080
You'll be able to.
If you're already on Chatter,

89
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,640
you'll be able to see me and
whoever else wants to

90
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,080
participate on video over there.
Should be pretty cool.

91
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,720
And coming soon, I think I'll be
able to just go through Chatter

92
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,160
and simulcast everywhere.
I won't need any other platforms

93
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,800
to do it.
I'll be able to do it all

94
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,200
directly through Chatter.
Right now we've got multiple

95
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,320
pieces in play connecting
everything and some people over

96
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,080
at Chatter yesterday walked me
all through it.

97
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,720
So we're good to go.
I'm excited.

98
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,600
So go check that out and thank
you Ashley for sharing the link.

99
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,280
Now I told you that we had we do
have a topic today that we're

100
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,920
going to get to this comes
straight from our own Facebook

101
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,920
group.
And before I get to it, I just

102
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,360
wanted to go to Nick quickly
because Nick shared with us on

103
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,440
Newsday this past week about
something that Anthropic and

104
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Claude are doing over there.
They basically created AI

105
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,680
agents.
Well, not really surprising.

106
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,160
ChatGPT just a couple days later
announced their agents that are

107
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,520
now out.
And I think this is available

108
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,320
for pro users and plus users.
I'm not sure if it's available

109
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,000
for all users, but let's see
what Nick knows about this.

110
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,040
Admittedly, I actually I think
tipped him off to it first, but

111
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,840
I have a feeling he dug in a
little bit more than I did.

112
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,280
I have not tried it yet,
although I have the feature.

113
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,320
So with that, Nick, what do you
know about ChatGPT agents?

114
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:02,760
Morning.
Yeah.

115
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,240
You.
You broke the news to me.

116
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,240
I did not.
I was not aware of this.

117
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,640
And.
Always a proud moment for me

118
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:16,040
when I can beat you to it.
Yeah, I I didn't know it was

119
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,720
coming.
I didn't know the existed.

120
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,480
It just you sent it and then it
was like, oh, it's here.

121
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,160
Yes, ChatGPT release what
they're calling their agent, as

122
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,600
simple as that sounds.
From what I've gathered doing a

123
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,840
little bit of digging into it,
yes, this will be available to

124
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,240
plus Pro and potentially
enterprise users.

125
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Not available for the free
ChatGPT users from what I've

126
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,560
gathered, at least not yet.
And Nick, will you share for

127
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,760
those people who may not have
heard us talking at all about

128
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160
agents this past week, will you
share a little bit about what

129
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,640
that is?
AI agents, this is kind of like

130
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,480
the big thing of this year.
I would say essentially like

131
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,480
right now when you interact with
AI, it's all been chat based

132
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,160
interactions.
You have conversations with AIAI

133
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,320
converses back and that's about
the extent of what you can do

134
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,400
with it.
These AI agents now essentially

135
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:20,800
allow AI to take action on your
behalf and actually go out and

136
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,240
do things as opposed to just
giving you responses.

137
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:30,560
So if you want I to build a an
Excel document or a Google

138
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,960
Sheets doc or update a document,
it can actually go and update

139
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,360
that document as opposed to just
telling you how to update that

140
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,360
document.
That's a very simplistic example

141
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,200
of the AI agent as a whole.
But so we talked yesterday about

142
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:54,280
MCP model contacts protocol from
Claude, which essentially allows

143
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,040
you to connect Claude to
different apps through AP is and

144
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,520
things like that, or it can go
to those applications and take

145
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,720
actions.
This is slightly different in

146
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,800
the fact that the AI itself is
with ChatGPT, it's it's going to

147
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,640
the web, it's not necessarily
interacting with the dedicated

148
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,120
app, but it's going to the web
to make interactions and take

149
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,640
it.
And it's similar to I had shared

150
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,800
once before.
I was taking advantage of one of

151
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,560
the features.
It was the operator feature

152
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:30,160
where it has its own web browser
and you can give it an action

153
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,000
and it does that.
It wasn't perfect yet, but it

154
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,200
sounds similar to that.
From what I've gathered, again,

155
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,920
I have not played with this yet,
just from what I've seen online,

156
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,040
it's very similar to Operator,
which is what you've been using

157
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,320
and that was the only available
to the pro users.

158
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,680
So the the higher tier
subscription model.

159
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,440
And essentially you can tell it
to you could tell it to go to

160
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Facebook and post for you on
Facebook and it will actually

161
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,320
physically, you can watch it go
to Facebook and publish a post

162
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,760
to Facebook as an example.
This is very similar in that

163
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,560
effect like it, it pulls up like
a virtual browser, if you will,

164
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,800
and it will start doing things
in that virtual browser.

165
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:24,720
Now, so far what I've gathered
is that it, it combines operator

166
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,680
with deep research.
So it will more effectively plan

167
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:33,880
out how it is going to tackle a
given task, task that you assign

168
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:39,320
it and then again inside of a
virtual browser, go out and

169
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,000
fulfill that task.
You can tell it to go like an

170
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,040
example I gave earlier, you want
it to go to Google Drive and

171
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,480
update a specific sheet that you
have.

172
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,840
Maybe I don't know I'm I'm
racking my brain.

173
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,120
For, well, yeah, but you.
Could have it go to a specific

174
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,760
example to update sheets and it
will actually pull up that

175
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,320
browser, go to Google Drive,
open up that sheet and actually

176
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:06,280
fill out that sheet for you.
Or maybe it's a a form online or

177
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,280
an application online that you
wanted to go fill out and it can

178
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,200
actually go fill that out for
you as opposed to just saying,

179
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,600
hey, here's what you should fill
in that form.

180
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,800
That's really cool.
I think that's going to be

181
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,960
really that that could really be
something that a lot of us could

182
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,880
take advantage of and save us a
lot of time.

183
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:29,640
And I think ChatGPT Open AI has
said this new agent isn't

184
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,680
perfect yet, right?
It does make mistakes over time.

185
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,640
And they feel confident saying,
you know, if it can help you

186
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,880
with 90% of the lift, that's
still going to be a win for you,

187
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,680
right?
It's still going to save you a

188
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:46,080
ton of time, a ton of effort,
etcetera.

189
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,640
So it's worth worth checking
out.

190
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,520
And it should be noted that this
agent, it's not something that

191
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,080
like, I mean, since chat GPD
came out, I mean, everyone can

192
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,760
kind of attest to how quick
ChatGPT is to spit out

193
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,920
responses.
I guess it's within seconds.

194
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,080
And this agent it, it will take
a little bit longer.

195
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Like it's going to take, from
what I've read about online, it

196
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:16,600
could take anywhere from 15 to
potentially 30 minutes to

197
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,080
complete a specific task,
depending on the complexity of

198
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,960
it.
But it's something that the way

199
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,120
I, I view these agents, I want
to assign these agents a task

200
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,000
that I can give it the task, I
can walk away, I can go grab a

201
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,480
coffee, I can go go make my
breakfast, do whatever and come

202
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,240
back.
And the agent has completed that

203
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,400
task or is like on to the next
step of that.

204
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,440
Task, right?
Think of it like you've given it

205
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,760
to a virtual assistant or
somebody, a person that's

206
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,560
helping you out, right?
It's like, hey, can you take

207
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,760
care of this for me?
And boom, they go and do it

208
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,880
while you go and do whatever
else you have to do.

209
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Exactly.
I've seen a lot of people like

210
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,360
throw complaints about some of
the AI agent stuff because like,

211
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,880
oh, it's too slow and it's
probably because they're sitting

212
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,680
there watching the agent do the
stuff.

213
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:06,520
It's like, right, why are you
watching the agent Go do other

214
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,160
things while the agent is doing
the things?

215
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,440
Nick, they're all complaining
it's too slow until their job is

216
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,320
taken away.
I do have a question for you.

217
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:21,720
Is it possible for the AI to be
where you're using just voice

218
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,960
only?
I don't want to say having a

219
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,720
conversation, but is it always
type or is it have they?

220
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,680
You mean for this particular new
feature?

221
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,560
In general?
No, Just in general.

222
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Alex, if I'm understanding your
question correctly, I think I, I

223
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,360
don't know about agents
specifically as far as can you

224
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,400
have the voice conversations
with it or is it text only?

225
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,280
My gut feeling is it's probably
text only, but then again, most

226
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,480
of the things you do on ChatGPT,
you can activate that voice

227
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,200
conversation.
So I'm not sure.

228
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,760
Adam Adam posted in the chat and
said yes, you can use voice.

229
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,000
OK, there you go.
Thank you.

230
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,360
Well, there's from Adam anyway,
so you can hold Adam to it if

231
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,480
he's wrong.
No, I'm kidding.

232
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,080
Thank you, Adam.
Appreciate that.

233
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240
And I want to keep things moving
along.

234
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,480
And before I do, thank you,
Nick.

235
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,600
By the way, for the update,
ChatGPT agent, you'll see it in

236
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,680
the little field where you type
to ChatGPT.

237
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,960
There's a little plus button in
that field.

238
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:26,480
If you tap that, you can choose
to activate Agent FYII.

239
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Want to first before I move any
further, say hello to Paula who

240
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,040
has joined us on stage.
It's been a minute since Paula's

241
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,440
come up on stage.
Welcome Paula.

242
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,960
Anything you wanted to say or
are you just up here for the

243
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,960
conversation?
Hello.

244
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,920
Hello.
And I have something to say.

245
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,200
Cool.
Hi, Nick.

246
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,080
I miss more than you.
That's why I'm over here to be

247
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,240
honest.
And hi, Alex, I miss Alex

248
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,240
Sarcasmus.
So I'm here.

249
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,080
And Amanda, my sweetheart, and
then y'all, you know, it is what

250
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:56,880
it is.
Now I'm joking.

251
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,920
No, I miss you.
I miss you guys.

252
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:08,560
I just wanted to to be on the
stage and share some love and

253
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,120
feel the love.
So yeah.

254
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,320
I'm feeling the love, Paula.
Thank you.

255
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,400
I love it.
Yeah.

256
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,040
Feel free to hang around on
stage.

257
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,520
And.
And that goes for anybody in the

258
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,280
audience.
I figured since you embraced me

259
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,200
on my life, I should return the
face.

260
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,440
Aww, thank you, thank you.
It was great joining you and

261
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,120
loyalty up there on Instagram
doing your live.

262
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,120
It's awesome and congratulations
for pushing yourself to do more

263
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,240
of those lives.
Again.

264
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,320
It's been a little while since
you were doing those, so it was

265
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,760
good to see you on there.
I had to come support.

266
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,760
OK, so with that, I want to jump
in to the Facebook question that

267
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,400
we got.
So this came through to our very

268
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,520
own Facebook group and kind of
fitting based on the question.

269
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,640
This comes from Kim Young.
Kim, who has asked a question

270
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,240
that we've answered in the past,
not too long ago, I'm not sure

271
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,920
when, but not too long ago, Kim
Young says, how are y'all

272
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,040
connecting with your audience?
I've heard of podcasters having

273
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,480
Discord groups, Facebook groups.
Clearly he's in one of them

274
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,240
right now.
He said, I know Gary Vee was

275
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,520
really big on texting.
Don't know what he's

276
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,640
recommending now.
I think I, I don't know.

277
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,880
I think he still talks about
texting every so often as I

278
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,880
stopped listening to him.
Oh, OK.

279
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,520
So Kim Young stopped listening
to Gary Vee.

280
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,880
I'm sure some of you have built
up an e-mail list.

281
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,840
And then his two questions are,
is there any format I'm missing?

282
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,800
What's been working for you?
I have so much I want to share

283
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,560
with my audience that doesn't
shoehorn well into a podcast

284
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,080
episode and also want it to be
more of a two way conversation.

285
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,320
Thanks.
I want to help answer this.

286
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,960
And if you don't have your own
group, right, If you're not

287
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,280
using a Discord, if you're not
using a Facebook for your

288
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,640
community specifically built
from your podcast, maybe you're

289
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,080
part of 1 and you can share a
little bit about what the tools

290
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,280
that they're using to make that
happen.

291
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,599
So let's kick it off with that.
I'd love to hear from anybody

292
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,040
here.
If you're using a platform or a

293
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,280
tool that helps you build an
actual back and forth with your

294
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,640
listeners, go ahead, Alex.
Part of the podcast network

295
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:23,640
we're on started out Patreon
slash Facebook and it's always

296
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,520
been Facebook.
It's what's really interesting

297
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,400
is the the gentleman that's that
runs it, he's tried to do

298
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,000
Discord and it took off when it
first started.

299
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,840
Then it was kind of like nobody
did anything.

300
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,320
Then it got busy again.
It keeps trying to force people,

301
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,680
not force people, but direct
people to Discord and it just

302
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,400
always comes back to Facebook.
I just think it's funny because

303
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,360
everybody really does have their
own community way of doing it,

304
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,080
and I think it's what your
people really gravitate to.

305
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,720
I don't think there is one
answer like this Community is

306
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,960
all that clubhouse.
I mean, as much as the Facebook

307
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,840
group is important, I think more
people just keep coming back to

308
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,360
here and that's the best way of
communicating.

309
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,440
I could be wrong.
You're saying that the community

310
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,680
really engages more with the
podcast than with the group that

311
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,520
you provide them.
Is that what you're saying?

312
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:24,760
I think that the Facebook group
is very active, but I think, you

313
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,680
know, everybody's like trying to
hit whatever trend is in, like I

314
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,760
said, Discord or whatever, and
it just really depends on your

315
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,440
community.
Like some people really try,

316
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:39,160
like I just use Discord for one
thing and just don't find value

317
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,920
in it at all.
But that's just me.

318
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:45,120
Maybe I'm just not engaging it
the right way, but I just find

319
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:50,160
it very telling that no matter
how much you try to force groups

320
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,760
to go to certain places, people
are creatures of habit and

321
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,040
they're creatures of what is
easy.

322
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,200
Like you just said before about
chatter, about the chatter's

323
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,200
good or bad, as though chatter's
the just the example.

324
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,480
I mean, chatter's great, but at
the same time you're like, oh,

325
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,720
yeah, with the, with the big
cringy, Oh my God, we might go

326
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,440
to chatter.
No, I mean, it's just another

327
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,280
platform.
I'm interested to hear what

328
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,680
everybody else does say.
I appreciate what you were just

329
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,200
saying there about I'm kind of
paraphrasing, but you got to

330
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,600
sometimes, well, not sometimes,
probably always or at least most

331
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,080
of the time, you got to meet
your audience where they are,

332
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,360
right?
Like it, it could be more

333
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:29,760
challenging if you're trying to
get your audience to come over

334
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,280
to join your Facebook group.
If they are not particularly

335
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,480
active on Facebook, to get them
to come over there to do that

336
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,440
could be difficult.
And even sometimes the ones that

337
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,240
do, because they don't use
Facebook very often, they forget

338
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,400
about it and then they don't,
they may not be as active in

339
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,520
your group because they just
forget to even go there, right?

340
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,200
So that's one key feature.
Key thing to remember is no

341
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,640
matter what you're doing, make
sure you keep talking about it,

342
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,640
right?
No matter where it is.

343
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,840
If it's a Discord, if it's a
Facebook group, wherever, make

344
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,920
sure you are talking about it
often.

345
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:09,400
On your show and ideally you're
bringing some of those

346
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,720
conversations that are happening
in those groups outside of your

347
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,680
podcast, you're bringing them to
your podcast.

348
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,880
Thank you.
Go ahead, Amanda.

349
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,560
Good morning.
I agree with everything Alex

350
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,640
said.
You got to find what your

351
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,200
community will go to, but also
you have to keep in mind what

352
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,080
your preferences are.
Because if you're trying to send

353
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,200
them to a community that you
don't even like utilizing or

354
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,160
using or it's not your favorite,
I think the bigger risk is

355
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,880
choosing something that works
for your community but doesn't

356
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,240
even work for you because then
you're not going there and

357
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,880
actually meeting your community.
So.

358
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,360
Yeah.
And Amanda, while I have you,

359
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,840
thank you for that, while I have
you here, So what are you?

360
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,080
Will you share what you and
Chris are doing for Song Swap

361
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,960
Showdown as far as engaging with
your audience outside of the

362
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,000
podcast?
Well, because we're a live show,

363
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,520
I feel like we have a lot of
engagement within the episode

364
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,880
itself.
So I feel like YouTube for us is

365
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,640
a place of our engagement, even
though it's not necessarily a

366
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,080
form like group, but I feel like
within that alone we we have

367
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,120
probably our most
communications.

368
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,120
And then Chris and I both like
Facebook.

369
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:16,560
So there is a group on Facebook,
but it's we are on a summer

370
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,880
break.
So it's a little inactive at the

371
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,400
moment, but that's OK.
Our typical audience hangs out

372
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,800
in Facebook and knows how to
utilize Facebook and a Facebook

373
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,920
group.
So it was kind of just adding

374
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,960
one little thing to what they
were already doing.

375
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,680
It wasn't like they had to
download a new app and then

376
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,920
search out the community and
then go into there separately

377
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000
every time they want to engage.
You know what I mean?

378
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,120
They're already there, they're
already able to engage 'cause

379
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,840
they're right there and it's not
their first group, it's just one

380
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,960
more group.
So I think it was a, it's a much

381
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,080
easier sell for our listeners.
Yeah, and I think that live

382
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:59,280
streaming is an an example of at
least of what what we're talking

383
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,640
about today, right.
Like that might be some

384
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,040
podcasters main way of
communicating with their

385
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,000
audience.
And I don't see anything wrong

386
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,160
with that.
I mean, the only thing that

387
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,320
makes that challenging is is if
people are commenting, maybe

388
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,680
finding you for the first time,
that could and that they could

389
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,760
come and go, right?
Like they'll come in there,

390
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,320
watch the live and leave.
And then you may never know who

391
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,440
they were or have never
connected with them.

392
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,920
So I like having a group
somewhere, a digital group

393
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,040
somewhere where you have a list
of all your members right there

394
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,560
that you could reach out to
privately if you so choose.

395
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,200
I feel like that's a really
important.

396
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,720
And I think I think this this
room is like our Facebook or

397
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,640
our, you know, live recording.
I think it's very similar.

398
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,560
You know, you're doing it here
well in on YouTube, but we do it

399
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,840
exclusively for the most part on
YouTube.

400
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,760
So you've gathered your live
listeners here and you hope that

401
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,640
they'll go to the Facebook
group, but I think there is way

402
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,480
more engagement in this group
every morning than there is

403
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,720
even, you know, in the group on.
Facebook.

404
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Yeah, there is that.
That's very true.

405
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,840
And yeah, I mean, it works both
ways too, right?

406
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,440
Like some people will find me on
one of my live streaming

407
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,440
platforms and then they were
going to follow us and be a part

408
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,280
of it that way.
And then they'll find out about

409
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,120
the Facebook group and often
times then they join over there

410
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,040
and then vice versa.
Some people find us on Facebook

411
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,200
first in that group, participate
for a while.

412
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,120
I mean, Matt Bliss, who is on a
break right now with us, but

413
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:34,160
he's he'll be back.
But Matt Bliss, that's his story

414
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,880
is that he found us as a
Facebook group 1st and actually

415
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,560
wasn't even connecting the dots
that were also a podcast.

416
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,360
He just thought we were a
Facebook group.

417
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,600
And after some communication a
little while, he discovered,

418
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,640
yeah, in fact, we also have a
podcast.

419
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,600
We also do it live.
And he became more active there.

420
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,600
So it can help you on both sides
of the coin.

421
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,120
DRI know you've been waiting to
say something.

422
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,040
Go ahead.
Well, if I'm going to spend time

423
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,600
on a platform, it has to be
aesthetically pleasing to me.

424
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
And there is nothing
aesthetically pleasing on Slack

425
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,280
for me.
So I tend not to go to the

426
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,440
platforms that are not
aesthetically pleasing and

427
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,880
enticing to me.
Hey Dr. you said the most no

428
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,040
honest to God, it is so right
what you just said and I'm not

429
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,280
talking just about Slack like
all these platforms if.

430
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,360
Discord I and I meant discord
also really horrible.

431
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,960
I use discord for one thing I I
game with friends of mine.

432
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,400
We just basically use it as a
phone and I don't understand the

433
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,720
rest of the whole.
I don't see what the whole like.

434
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,840
It's almost like a call.
I don't get it.

435
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:52,760
So lately I have been getting a
lot of advertisements on my feed

436
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:57,080
for apps.
You can have your own app where

437
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,920
you can keep your community, you
can do live streams, you can

438
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,760
keep all of your courses that
your community can take.

439
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,360
So the one that has been in my
feed lately is called Passion

440
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:16,720
dot IO and and I understand that
there are others out there just

441
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:22,080
like it, but that's also another
way to have a community.

442
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,440
Thank you.
Dr. And Paula actually brought

443
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,120
up something in the chat here
and this was directed to Amanda,

444
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:32,600
but I think this is really
something that we all could take

445
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,720
away.
Is she saying that YouTube now

446
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,120
has YouTube community and have
you guys been using or

447
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:40,560
experience experimenting with
that?

448
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,720
And my answer I think for Amanda
is no, based on the fact that we

449
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,160
know they're on a summer break
right now.

450
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,720
But that is a great a great
point, Paula.

451
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,400
I think that if you are actively
using YouTube to go check out

452
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,560
their new communities feature
and see if that works for you

453
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,000
because if you're building your
audience over there, you may as

454
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,120
well keep a community over there
as well.

455
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,720
Go ahead, Amanda.
I didn't know there was such a

456
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,240
thing, so as usual, thank you
my.

457
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,960
Yeah.
What's the difference?

458
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,640
What's the difference between
commenting under your video and

459
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,840
YouTube community?
Well, they rolled it out I

460
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,240
believe a month ago.
I think you have to have

461
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,040
specific followers, subscribers,
whatever, 'cause I know a lot of

462
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,840
YouTube creators were getting
it, were getting the e-mail.

463
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,160
So it's just another community
like creating on Facebook or

464
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,520
anything where I guess those
people comment on your post or

465
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,600
whatever.
If you guys want to have a more

466
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,760
in detail or share more things
in there that you can share out

467
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,680
there, I guess I don't know.
I'm not part of it, but I know a

468
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,040
few friends who had it and they
were sending us emails to join

469
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,080
their community.
I'm not big on YouTube so that's

470
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:54,680
all I know.
Yeah.

471
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,880
No, that's really helpful
though.

472
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,840
No, that's very helpful, Paula.
Thank you.

473
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,600
And watch out for oncoming
traffic, OK?

474
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,720
My morning walk with my Red Bull
and I'm enjoying you all in my

475
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,280
ear.
Perfect Friday.

476
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,600
We're enjoying you being here.
Go ahead, Nick.

477
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,440
One minute.
Sorry, Nick.

478
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,520
Nick, can you say hi to me?
Fine.

479
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Hi, Paula.
Hi, Nick.

480
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,840
It's actually it is.
Good to see you in here.

481
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,440
It's been a while.
I haven't felt uncomfortable or

482
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,480
poked at for a while, so it's
nice to have you back.

483
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,240
In here.
Oh my God, I'm going to make

484
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,400
sure that all of next to come
here, so just to give you what

485
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:37,360
you want.
I agree Janae posted in the the

486
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:40,560
chat as well about it.
But the the YouTube community

487
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,840
thing I think unless they've
made updates and adjustments to

488
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,160
it, it has been around for a
while.

489
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,800
I've actually on the next Gen.
podcaster YouTube channel.

490
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,600
I've used it and it it almost
seems like a Facebook feed from

491
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,840
what I've gathered.
Unless they've changed and

492
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,080
they've evolved it from that.
But it essentially allows you,

493
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,680
like within your channel to make
posts, whether it's text posts,

494
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,520
image posts, whatever, so that
you can actually have

495
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,840
interactions and engagement with
your audience.

496
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,960
To me, it basically looks like a
Facebook feed.

497
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:18,480
It is another way that users can
interact with you directly as

498
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,480
opposed to just in the comments.
But I've never interacted with

499
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,600
another channels feed.
Occasionally I've stumbled upon

500
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,640
it and just kind of scrolled
through just to see what other

501
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,280
people are posting, but I've
never actually engaged in them

502
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,200
and vice versa.
We haven't really had anybody

503
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,280
engaged back with us in our feed
either, so it might be

504
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,160
something.
It is fairly new, I guess maybe

505
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,120
people just aren't aware that it
exists or even relevant they can

506
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,280
do that, but I haven't had much
success with that yet.

507
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,680
OK.
And Janae is on stage and based

508
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,400
on some comments I'm seeing from
him in the chat, he may have

509
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,800
some additional insights on a
YouTube community.

510
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,360
Go for it, Janae.
Good morning.

511
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,920
Welcome back to the stage.
I've been seeing the community

512
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:04,360
tab on on YouTube for a while,
and they said that it's been out

513
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,160
since 2018.
They're trying to do the same

514
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,640
kind of communication or, you
know, kind of building a feed.

515
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,040
But again, it's dedicated to a
channel.

516
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,800
They initially launched it back
in 2018 and it required that you

517
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,400
had 500 subscribers or more.
So people with larger community

518
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,080
subscriberships only had access
to it, but I think recently

519
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,040
they've enabled it for all
channels because initially they

520
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,840
were just testing it like, hey,
who's going to use it?

521
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,920
And now it's available for
literally any channel.

522
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,320
I haven't seen the smaller
channels to see how it works.

523
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,360
Again, it all comes down to
YouTube is trying to keep you on

524
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,320
the platform and how many
different ways can YouTube use

525
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,320
to keep you on the platform?
Again, most people go in there

526
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,760
for the videos.
Hey, let's test this out.

527
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,880
Kind of trying to make it like a
social media platform.

528
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,280
That's it for me, yeah.
Thank you Janae.

529
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,320
I was.
I'm just sitting here scrolling

530
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,840
around YouTube.
I don't even see a place that

531
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560
says community.
True channel specific.

532
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,160
OK, that's.
What I think makes it more

533
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,360
difficult to find right, You're
not going to just go into

534
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,640
YouTube and just stumble upon
the community tab.

535
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,680
Like you have to be on the
specific channel and you're in

536
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,920
that channels community.
And did you say 500 subscribers?

537
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,320
Well, that was, I think what
Janae was saying originally when

538
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,080
this came out several years ago,
you had to have a certain amount

539
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,240
of subscribers, and I think he
did say 500.

540
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,360
Yeah.
But now the understanding is, is

541
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,160
that it's been opened up to just
about anybody.

542
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,200
But I guess they also probably
have to turn it on because,

543
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,600
like, I'm on our old next Gen.
podcaster YouTube channel right

544
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,120
now.
I don't see anything about

545
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,960
communities over there.
And maybe that's just 'cause we

546
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,200
didn't activate it.
Because I have posted in it

547
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,040
before.
OK, all right.

548
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,520
Well, oh, I see maybe it's
under.

549
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,960
Is it under posts?
I think maybe, yeah, posts has a

550
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,600
lot of, but that's just all of
our posts, not necessarily our

551
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,880
videos.
It's the posts, you know, you

552
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,480
can post polls and all sorts of
stuff.

553
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,360
There.
That is, That's exactly what

554
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:11,840
we're talking.
About.

555
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,560
OK, so there you go.
It's like a a wall or a feed

556
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,480
that you can post to and that's
where you could have

557
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,760
interactions with other
subscribers if.

558
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,960
Right.
So then it looks like it looks

559
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,920
like they can't, right.
It looks like only you as the

560
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,680
channel operator owner, you can
post stuff and then they can

561
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:36,520
comment and they can like it or
dislike it or repost it, but it

562
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,720
doesn't look like they could
start a thread over there.

563
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,400
Yeah, Nick is agreeing with me
about that.

564
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,640
OK, cool.
Well, that's good.

565
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,880
I mean, this is this is
definitely one answer to our

566
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,680
question from Kim Young.
So I'm sure that's helpful.

567
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,000
And I know we've mentioned
Discord and it sounded like a

568
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,800
lot of us here aren't big fans
of Discord and and I think that

569
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,520
goes back to D Rs point, right?
I think for some of us, I think

570
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,880
not just aesthetics, I think
aesthetics is 1 and also just

571
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,400
functionality, right?
How easy is it to use to

572
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,040
navigate?
How intuitive is it?

573
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,240
You know, can you just easily
know where to go on those

574
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,920
platforms?
That makes a big difference.

575
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,760
And I, I know that with Discord,
if it's a new to you thing, it

576
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:26,960
can feel really intimidating.
Chaotic is another way to put

577
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,120
it.
Nick yes.

578
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,680
Wasn't discord first developed
just for gamers?

579
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,400
That's.
Yes, yes.

580
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,480
I mean gamers were the ones that
really using it first and

581
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,600
there's often times some
crossover between gamers and

582
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,920
podcasters.
Elgato, the company I talk about

583
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,600
often that has a lot of great
equipment for podcasters that

584
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,800
all started for gamers and then
podcasters caught on and they're

585
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,200
like, oh, look at all this great
stuff that they're doing for

586
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,760
gamers.
We could use this too.

587
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,360
And, and that was at least for
me.

588
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,080
And now I'm riddled with Elgato
stuff.

589
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,320
Yeah.
There's also other places to go

590
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,360
if you want to create community.
Like many chat, right?

591
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,880
Many chat is 1 and then another
one.

592
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,520
And that's, you know, where you
can kind of build your own,

593
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,880
we'll call them Facebook groups,
but your own discord, your own

594
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,280
Facebook group, your own
community on your own website.

595
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,000
And we with Next Gen.
Podcaster, we used something

596
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,960
similar to it.
We didn't use many chat, we used

597
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,000
buddy boss.
And by the way, if you've

598
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,280
noticed I've been saying past
tense, Nick and I did decide to

599
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,920
officially close down next Gen.
podcaster.

600
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:43,160
It was great for the initial
rush of AI and how we could use

601
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,960
it as creators.
And after a couple years, I

602
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,880
think it lost its luster.
I think a lot of, I think what

603
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,200
it was serving, the purpose it
was serving was no longer

604
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,120
needed.
So we shut it down.

605
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,080
Little sad, but I think
appropriately so.

606
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,320
But anyway, that was a really
cool, that buddy boss product

607
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,800
was really cool.
The advantages is you have full

608
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,760
control over it and you can Add
all sorts of different bells and

609
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,239
whistles to it for your
community.

610
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:14,440
The challenging part is, again,
you're asking people to go to

611
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,880
another place, right, to have
these conversations as opposed

612
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,639
to being on their own social
media platform of choice or if

613
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,440
they're Discord users as an
example.

614
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,080
But so there that there are some
disadvantages to it and some

615
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,360
advantages to it.
I think it just depends on what

616
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,800
you're going for.
I personally like building

617
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,159
communities on platforms that
already exist.

618
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:39,960
And I know that that's a risk
because of that platform goes

619
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:45,600
away tomorrow, you lose it.
But I feel like I want to meet

620
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,000
my community where they are.
I don't want to force them into

621
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,440
doing something else.
Another thing.

622
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:56,400
Yeah, Dr., go ahead.
Well, Speaking of, if it goes

623
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:01,680
down, you lose them forever.
This is a good reason to start

624
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,400
your own mailing list.
You can.

625
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:10,160
You can create, you know, like a
newsletter or an e-mail list,

626
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,880
and that can be your community.
That's yours forever.

627
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,120
As long as you have that list,
that is yours forever.

628
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,080
Yep, absolutely.
And I'm sorry to backtrack for a

629
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,680
second, but Paula, thank you for
texting me.

630
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,320
She's showing me that there's
one creator that she's following

631
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,920
and there that she's shown me
screenshots that there is a

632
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,160
button that actually says visit
community.

633
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,200
So it could be a whole separate
thing than what we were just

634
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,280
thinking it was 'cause yeah,
it's an actual button that says

635
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,320
join the community.
And then she's showing me inside

636
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,120
the community.
It looks, yeah, it looks

637
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,760
different.
Yeah.

638
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:48,880
YouTube.
YouTube.

639
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,880
Sorry, did I not say YouTube?
Yeah, on YouTube.

640
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,200
So it looks like we're all
learning something new today.

641
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,760
And thank you, Paula, for
bringing it.

642
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,520
All right, anything else?
Oh, go ahead, Nick.

643
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,960
And then I wanted to hear if
anybody has any, any other

644
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,880
solutions.
And if you want to chime in on

645
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,480
newsletters, I know Dr. just
brought it up.

646
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,200
So if you want to chime in on
that, go ahead.

647
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,840
But Nick, you have the floor.
What I did like about the Buddy

648
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,160
Boss, yes, you're bringing
someone to a new platform if you

649
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:22,200
will, but there are options and
for anyone who's we, we were

650
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,560
doing it through WordPress.
So if you have a WordPress

651
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,520
website and you're wanting to
bring a community aspect, I

652
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,120
think Adam posted in the chat
about bringing a community to

653
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,440
your website as well.
That was what was nice is that

654
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,120
you're bringing people back to
your space.

655
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:42,240
Everyone's landing on your
website and buddy boss did have

656
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:46,440
a lot of functionality and
features built in.

657
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,880
So we had courses that we were
able to build into that

658
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,240
community section.
We were able to put like a

659
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:58,520
Facebook feed, like social media
type feed inside there.

660
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,680
There was a direct messaging.
You could even turn it into a an

661
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:07,840
actual mobile app if you wanted
to and it all just lived from

662
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,960
your website, which was really
cool.

663
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,680
I liked the freedom, the
flexibility that it offered and

664
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,840
to D Rs point, you could pretty
much make it a aesthetically

665
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,240
however you wanted to.
You could organize it however

666
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,000
you wanted.
And it didn't just have to be

667
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,760
like a, a slack feed that was
forever long and confusing and

668
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,840
stressful and anxiety.
But the idea that you could have

669
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,000
courses and things like that.
Like if you didn't have that,

670
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,160
you'd likely be buying another
platform.

671
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,200
Like think if it or Coursera or
something like that where you

672
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,560
were putting more content on
that people could purchase all

673
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:53,000
of that can live within buddy
boss, which was really neat on

674
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,200
top of the the social aspect,
the actual community features

675
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,320
that were involved in it as
well.

676
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,960
So it it is a really cool
application.

677
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:07,680
If anyone is I, I think it's
only WordPress, but I I could be

678
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:12,240
miss speaking on that.
But if anybody who has a

679
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:14,760
WordPress website that's
interested in that, I I would

680
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,120
definitely check it out.
It's yeah.

681
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,320
It was pretty cool.
Yeah, it was really cool.

682
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,960
It worked really well.
Agreed.

683
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,920
Thank you for digging into that
more, Nick.

684
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,800
I appreciate that.
I think that's a good option for

685
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,480
people to learn about.
And I want to Janae, I know you

686
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,040
wanted to comment and we're
running short on time.

687
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,080
I and I had to go back to
Ashley.

688
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,880
I forgot to go back to her.
We also have Yvonne on stage and

689
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,480
we haven't even shared our wins
from the week.

690
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,520
So I got to figure that out too.
So first, let me go to Ashley.

691
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,480
Go for it, Ashley.
Just a couple more platform

692
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,280
suggestions.
One is Patreon.

693
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,640
I've been running a Patreon
community for a

694
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,360
singer-songwriter for about two
years now and they have an RSS

695
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,000
integration feature And if you
want, you could really take it

696
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,000
egalitarian approach to your to
how you do your tiers.

697
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,680
You don't even have to do the
tiers.

698
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,160
You can just set them all at 0
and you can use Patreon as sort

699
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,360
of like a social media site in
and of itself.

700
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,520
You can set your post to go like
completely public to where

701
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,880
there's there's no pay wall
behind any of it and you can

702
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,160
really create some exclusivity
there.

703
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,800
And the other platform that I
was thinking of that works

704
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,600
similarly is Sub Stack.
You can completely host your

705
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,440
your podcast on Sub Stack and
grow your community from there.

706
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,200
Yeah, thank you.
And I saw some activity in the

707
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:39,400
chat about sub Stack as well.
I know Dave, he says that he's

708
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,520
starting, let's see, starting on
Sub stack as an e-mail capture

709
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,920
starting point.
I think that's a great way to

710
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,680
start getting involved with Sub
Stack.

711
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,320
Yeah, that's an area that's one
that I haven't dug into yet

712
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,880
either.
I mean, I play with it a little

713
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,160
bit here and there and look at
what other people are doing.

714
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,480
I'm just in observation mode
over there until I feel a little

715
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,200
more comfortable with how I
would potentially use it.

716
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,040
But definitely a great option
for sure.

717
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,560
Let's go to Yvonne.
Yvonne, good morning.

718
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,360
Welcome back to the stage.
What did you want to add to all

719
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,880
this?
Good.

720
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,840
Morning, I don't know if
anybody's brought up Kajabi, I

721
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,120
came in a little bit late.
Nope, that is where I host.

722
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:24,800
I moved my my website to it and
it is on the expensive side but

723
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,440
it can do everything it can do.
Website hosting, community.

724
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,000
I can even have a private
podcast in there if I wanted to,

725
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:39,400
which I have thought about doing
emails, products, courses.

726
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,200
It's it really has all of it and
I am under utilizing it.

727
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:49,480
Let me just say my, my community
is in there and when I the

728
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:54,920
reason I went there is because I
hosted an online summit and put

729
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,600
all the recordings into that and
then had them released as the

730
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,000
summit went on.
So it's been, it's been a really

731
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:08,360
good platform and I post my show
notes as blog posts there.

732
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,120
So it keeps feeding the SEO
through blog posts.

733
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,160
It's been good.
I am thinking of exploring

734
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,040
Substack more and I did get an
invitation or e-mail from

735
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,480
YouTube to explore the community
and just I haven't had the

736
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,240
bandwidth lately.
Yeah, those are things I'm I'm

737
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,080
thinking of.
I love the idea of sub stack as

738
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,800
an e-mail collection idea.
So now I need to dig into that.

739
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,240
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.

740
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,520
And I appreciate you bringing
that up, Kajabi.

741
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,520
And yes, it is expensive.
And I think if you're one of

742
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:44,080
those creators who has a lot of
different tools in your toolbox

743
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:49,040
that you're paying for, I think
Kajabi could be still worth it,

744
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,440
even though it's expensive
because in the long run, you

745
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,520
never know, it could end up
saving you money.

746
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,040
If you add up all the different
services that you're paying for

747
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,240
with, you know, the separate
services that you're paying for

748
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,840
it, it may end up being similar
to what you'd pay for Kajabi.

749
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,640
It could be comparable, could be
a little more, a little less.

750
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,360
But I have a feeling, you know,
once you do that comparison, it

751
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,480
may still be worth it.
It's worth looking into.

752
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,960
And there are other alternatives
to Kajabi as well.

753
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:21,120
So you could always just Google
or ask AI, you know, give me

754
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,800
some alternatives to Kajabi and
you'll find a bunch out there.

755
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,720
Thank you, Yvonne, appreciate
that.

756
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,280
All right, Janae, I'm going to
come to you.

757
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,480
What did you want to add on
while Nick was sharing?

758
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,240
The first question I wanted to
ask was what was the main

759
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,000
question that started this
thread?

760
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,800
The main question was from
somebody in Facebook, our

761
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,280
Facebook group who was looking
for options, ways of having two

762
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,520
way communication with his
audience.

763
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,960
So talking about communities,
talking about what makes sense,

764
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,160
and I like what you said, Mark
earlier, is you like to go where

765
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,000
the audience already is.
And The funny thing is every

766
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,720
single platform has your
audience.

767
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:02,960
We just don't know who they are.
Or maybe it's the same people on

768
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,440
the other platform.
Like you and I were connected on

769
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,960
six different platforms already.
Yeah, TikTok, Facebook,

770
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:10,920
Instagram, LinkedIn, you name
it.

771
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,960
And I remember back like 15
years ago when we had YouTube

772
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,320
Messenger, we or Yahoo
Messenger, we had MSN Messenger,

773
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,320
AIM, all of these platforms.
And it's interesting to see that

774
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,080
one article that I read was
you're not bringing all the

775
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,720
people that are on one platform
to another platform.

776
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,480
What essentially ends up
happening is you find new people

777
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,800
in your community or don't want
to be part of your community

778
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,080
when you go to a new platform.
So all of these new platforms

779
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,840
actually exposes you to new
people.

780
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,600
So when people are saying I'm
going to go to sub stack, I'm

781
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,680
going to go to LinkedIn, you're
actually finding new people to

782
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,880
join your community.
Now it's up to you if you create

783
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,080
a community or a group in that
new space or bring people back

784
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,320
to let's say your website or
your e-mail list.

785
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:07,360
It all comes down to, hey, how
focused are you on your thing to

786
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,000
be able to do that?
Yes, there are different ways

787
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,960
that you can bring people
together.

788
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,720
You can have a community on
money networks, you can have a

789
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:17,640
community on circles, you can
have a community on Discord,

790
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,840
Slack.
It all comes down to what type

791
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,840
of people are we attracting and
which one makes most sense for

792
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,160
you as well as I'm, I'm sure
somebody mentioned.

793
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,000
Are you spending time on that
those platforms yourself?

794
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,280
Because if you are, then you're
going to be more engaged as

795
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,000
opposed to you trying to create
a new community on that

796
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,360
completely new platform and you
find that you're not really

797
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,240
spending a whole bunch of time.
So that was that's what I wanted

798
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,680
to comment.
And yes, I did experiment with

799
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,480
buddy boss.
It's really cool if you have a

800
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,280
WordPress website and we have a
tons of people that are already

801
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,080
coming to your website.
That's the way to capture those

802
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,360
people.
So that's it for me, thank.

803
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,360
You.
Thank you, Janae.

804
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,120
And yeah, good point, right.
Yeah.

805
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:05,000
If you set up a community on a
platform, you're going to

806
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,680
hopefully start attracting new
community members.

807
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,320
And that's kind of back to what
we were talking about earlier,

808
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,960
how we've had people find the
podcasting morning chat on

809
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,120
Clubhouse, People find it as a
podcast and people find it

810
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:22,880
through our Facebook group.
So yeah, when you go to a new

811
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,600
platform, yeah, you're opening
up those doors to more potential

812
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,360
community members.
Absolutely agree with you there.

813
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:34,080
OK, listen, so we only have
about 10 minutes to do wins.

814
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,280
So I, I and I would love to do
do this.

815
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,280
So we'll try to rapid fire this.
And if you're listening live

816
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,680
right now, please feel free to
come join us up on.

817
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,800
I said up again, I'm trying not
to say up on stage.

818
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,480
Come join us on the stage this
morning if you'd like to share

819
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,560
any wins from your past week,
big or small.

820
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,280
Maybe it's that you launched
your podcast that might.

821
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,080
You might consider that big.
Maybe you've had a lousy week

822
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,560
and getting up out of bed every
day is your win.

823
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,280
You might consider that small.
We're not judging.

824
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,120
We're not putting labels on
those.

825
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,680
We just want to celebrate
whatever it is that you're

826
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,920
celebrating because it's
important to be celebratory no

827
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,040
matter what the win is.
It's important to stop and

828
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,880
recognize the things that you're
able to do, that you're doing

829
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,240
that's making a difference.
And again, even if that's

830
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:27,240
getting out of bed every day,
that's still a win for you,

831
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,680
right?
If this week is lousy, sure,

832
00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:32,240
it's going to be harder to get
out of bed.

833
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:37,280
And that in itself is the win.
OK, so with that, I will go 1st.

834
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,520
And I think we're just going to
try to rapid fire this and go

835
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,720
down the line.
I know Nick had to bounce.

836
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:44,080
So that's pretty typical at this
time.

837
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:48,320
But Nick doesn't get always get
to share his wins from the week.

838
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,120
So anyway, I will start.
I'd say the biggest win of the

839
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,760
week is we got through the
speaker announcements.

840
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,000
We reached out to our speakers
for the Empowered Podcasting

841
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,920
Conference and let them know
that they are in fact speaking.

842
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,280
We unfortunately had to let some
people know because we had so

843
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,720
many applications that we
couldn't do it this time around

844
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:14,080
with them.
But I will tell you it was a

845
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:18,240
little sticky getting all of
this information out correctly.

846
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:25,120
We started the process last week
and then realized that the way

847
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:29,040
because some people had applied
more than once with different

848
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,800
presentations, which was totally
acceptable.

849
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:36,120
The problem is, is that we were
only accepting one of multiple

850
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,240
applications.
So for example, Jannade can

851
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:42,440
relate to this.
Jannade applied more than once

852
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,080
and we had to accept 1 and
reject the other.

853
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:50,480
And unfortunately our system
didn't realize, didn't realize

854
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,280
that.
And so Jannade ended up getting

855
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,320
a rejection letter and then our
system didn't send out the

856
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,000
acceptance letter.
So Janae thought he wasn't

857
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,000
accepted and he was as a
speaker.

858
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,720
So we had to pause because we
didn't, we caught it as we were

859
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:09,720
as we were sending all this out.
So we paused it and made sure to

860
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:12,840
clean everything up.
We had to send a few oops

861
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,640
letters to some people as well,
but not many thankfully.

862
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:22,000
So the win is, is that we
successfully got everything out

863
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,720
and everybody now knows if they
are speaker at the conference at

864
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:29,720
the end of September.
That's probably my win to share

865
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,160
for this week.
And with that, I'm going to pass

866
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,640
it over to Ashley.
Ashley, you want to share some

867
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,280
wins?
My wins for this week is just

868
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,360
getting to be here with y'all
everyday Tuesday through Friday.

869
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,440
I love podcasting with y'all and
my other win for the week is I

870
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,160
get to play with the band
tonight.

871
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,120
We only play about once a month
now these days and we recently

872
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,080
got our drummer back.
He would been recovering from a

873
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,520
really bad back injury for a
couple of years so I'm just

874
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,760
really happy to have him back
and we're playing tonight.

875
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:01,120
Awesome.
Congratulations.

876
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:06,520
Go ahead, Dr. OK, so my win for
the week is that I've talked

877
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,720
about the fact that I have a new
launch client.

878
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:16,320
His genre is all about robots.
He is an autumn automation, an

879
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:21,520
industrial automation expert,
and I finally got some.

880
00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:26,200
I finally got him to record a
couple of episodes for the

881
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,480
launch and I started in with
editing those.

882
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,480
So that's my win for the week.
Amanda, what's your win?

883
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,280
Dr. I'm so glad that was your
win this week and not just the

884
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,800
toilet.
So I'm so glad you have a good

885
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,960
toilet.
I was debating should I?

886
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,880
For those of you who may not
have been with us last week, DRS

887
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,040
Toilet broke down and had to get
a new one.

888
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,720
That was her win last week.
And.

889
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,640
Toilet.
And to be clear, that's an

890
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,600
excellent win because we all
need toilets for sure.

891
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,120
My win was last Friday night.
I pulled off a sip sounds and

892
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,840
sidewalks in my little town and
it was super successful and

893
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,680
everyone loved it so much.
And so just kind of still riding

894
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,920
on that high that it was a very
good community event.

895
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,760
Yeah.
And I'm going to point out also

896
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,440
one of Amanda's wins with that
wild petunia that grew out of

897
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,920
the cracks of the sidewalks and
how much that really was a big

898
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,040
booster for your local
community.

899
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,120
Yeah, I mean, people are just
coming in to take a little peek

900
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,760
at it, take a picture at it, add
things.

901
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,800
We had a little chicken added
yesterday, a little raccoon.

902
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,160
So it just keeps growing.
It's so fun.

903
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:35,080
That's so cool, so cool.
Paula, would you like to share

904
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,880
any wins with us?
Yeah, sure, Amanda, you make me

905
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,160
want to move to you.
Me too.

906
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,640
I'm just saying, OK, I've always
wanted to live in little towns

907
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,840
until I went to Alexandria, LA,
and I was like, never mind.

908
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,080
But you make me want to move
there.

909
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:56,280
My win is I had a meeting with
my fellow panelists yesterday

910
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,920
and it went amazing.
So it got me excited to moderate

911
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:02,440
this panel, as you all know.
What panel is it?

912
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,240
It's a podcast creator summit
happening in Atlanta in August

913
00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:11,320
and it's with PXR.
They just came back from I

914
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,360
believe Austin, they did it last
month and I believe last year

915
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,440
they did in Atlanta and DC.
They move around.

916
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,760
They're amazing what is on my
panel.

917
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,960
So I am excited about that.
I also got accepted.

918
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,840
They do an incredible creative
design workshop.

919
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,560
It's a very three days intense
workshop, but amazing

920
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,560
opportunities come back from it.
I've spoken to few people who

921
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:40,080
got accepted last year.
The application was intense so I

922
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,680
wasn't even sure if I was going
to get it, but I got it.

923
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,080
So I'm excited about that.
I signed a new client yesterday,

924
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,440
so there's that.
And August is going to be a busy

925
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,760
month for me.
So I'm that's a slow win, but

926
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,240
I'm also not looking forward to
it.

927
00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:57,600
So yeah.
Yeah, congratulations Paula.

928
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:02,320
And also a cover girl as well.
As you say this week, you know.

929
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,240
I know, but we didn't hear from
you last week so I wanted to

930
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,640
shout that out.
Yes, officially a cover girl for

931
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,560
the edition of Female
Entrepreneurship magazine.

932
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,760
By the way, they're amazing
people and they're looking for

933
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,000
more females to feature and
highlight.

934
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,040

Thank you, Paula Janae, please

946
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:57,760
My win was I get to speak at

Excited.
