Good morning again, podcasting

14
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,480
Morning Chat.
Thank you for being here.

15
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,360
I am your host Mark Ronik, and
here with me on stage we have on

16
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,480
the clubhouse.
Stage Dr. Fey producer Ashley

17
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,520
Feller and Amanda Sharp.
I believe Nick and all back will

18
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,560
be joining us.
Shortly also.

19
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Shout out to someone who's not
here, Sid Meadows, who is still

20
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,200
on vacation and if you're
following him on Instagram, you

21
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,560
are enjoying and maybe a little.
Envious of his trip, he's.

22
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,680
Definitely going all around the
world and we wish him and his

23
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,680
wife.
All the best.

24
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,920
While they are enjoying that
vacation and of course on stage

25
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,880
with me on Clubhouse.
Oh, of course I didn't.

26
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Look, I'm sorry.
And on Chatter, I should say

27
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,680
Nick is over here on Chatter.
So Nick Naulback is here with

28
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,160
me, and so is Jonathan.
Howard good to have Nick.

29
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,840
Here and we've also got Amanda
Yoa and Nozzle.

30
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,640
Amanda Yoa, we all know from at
least on the clubhouse side and

31
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:23,480
Nozzle is a.
Chatter person, he's helped.

32
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,040
He helps with all the tech
builds.

33
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,760
The tech does all the things and
helped us get comfortable here

34
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,000
on Chatter this week.
Shout out to Mike Short in the

35
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,320
audience right now.
Chatter, good to see you over

36
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,280
here.
Mike, OK, so here's what I want

37
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,120
to do.
I've got a couple of quick

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,400
housekeeping items, then we're
going to get into the topic of

39
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,000
guests.
And of course then we'll wrap up

40
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,680
with our wins from the week.
But I it's really important to

41
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,720
me to.
Start with yesterday.

42
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,320
I want to take a moment to
acknowledge something that went

43
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,240
on yesterday so it looks like
most of you who I'm seeing here

44
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,880
live know.
But we also have a.

45
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,720
Podcast audience.
And maybe they didn't.

46
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,680
Hear Yesterday we had a.
Passionate discussion around

47
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,080
feeling like a fraud and public
speaking and at several points

48
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,400
Paula, who brought this?
To the table shared that.

49
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Public speaking is something
that she genuinely doesn't want

50
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,040
to do.
Despite her being clear about.

51
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,520
That, and saying it honestly, a
few times throughout that 20 or

52
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,960
so minute conversation, several
of us, including me, continued

53
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,320
to encourage her to reconsider.
That moment understandably

54
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,320
caused her some frustration and
confusion, and maybe some of us

55
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,240
were confused too.
After the room ended, Paul and I

56
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,720
did speak a little bit about
what came up and I've taken some

57
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:55,320
time to reflect since then
because ultimately I feel it's

58
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,280
my responsibility to make.
Sure, that.

59
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,280
Anyone who joins our
conversations on stage or in the

60
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,280
audience in the chat, feel safe,
feel seen.

61
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,200
And comfortable sharing whatever
they choose.

62
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,600
To bring to the table and I know
that.

63
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,079
I did hear.
And acknowledge Paula's stance

64
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:19,480
later in that conversation, even
prior to Amanda, which I'm

65
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,600
grateful Amanda brought it back
mentioning the fact that Paula

66
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,520
had said that she didn't want to
public speak and where I

67
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,760
misstepped was in not stepping
in sooner.

68
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,080
To redirect the conversation.
Once it kept circling back to

69
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,440
encouraging her.
Now I also want to say this.

70
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,080
I know that every one of us who
chimed in yesterday.

71
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,000
I know.
This to be true.

72
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,600
This is my truth.
We all did.

73
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,840
So with the best intentions and
I mentioned.

74
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,720
That to Paula, too.
We're a community built on

75
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,560
encouragement and empowerment,
and I truly believe the energy

76
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,000
in that room came from a place
of wanting to uplift Paula and

77
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,520
offer.
Her what we thought might be

78
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,240
helpful support that said,
here's.

79
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,000
Where I believe we missed the
mark and where I take ownership,

80
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,560
we could have done a better job
of listening first.

81
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,800
Of.
Hearing Paula's original, I'll

82
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,520
call it a concern, asking a few
clarifying questions, meaning us

83
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,880
we should have been asking a few
clarifying questions and.

84
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,200
Giving her the space to tell us
whether she.

85
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,960
Wanted input or encouragement
before jumping in with our

86
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,680
perspectives and as a person
that's.

87
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,200
Guiding the conversation it's.
On me to read the moment and

88
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,160
help steer the conversation
accordingly.

89
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,600
And I want to be.
Clear this.

90
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,360
I'm not.
Frustrated.

91
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,480
This isn't about being
frustrated with anybody not.

92
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,920
At all.
I'm proud of the heart that

93
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,840
this.
Community has and I'm proud of

94
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:07,200
how we often.
Get to do this right?

95
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,720
Have these conversations right?
99% of the time we can have the

96
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,320
respectful and open
conversations even when we

97
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,280
don't.
Agree.

98
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,720
So yesterday reminded.
Me of something important.

99
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:26,280
Even with the best intentions,
we still need to listen closely.

100
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,920
And I want you to hear me when I
say this.

101
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:35,200
Empowerment, which is like I
said earlier, what we're built

102
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:42,320
on means meeting people where
they are, not where we think

103
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,880
they should be.
And without listening to them

104
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,400
and really understanding them,
we're not able to meet them

105
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,200
where they are.
So for me, I'm taking that

106
00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,720
yesterday as a moment, a
learning one, a reminder of what

107
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,160
it means to lead this community
with care and to hold space with

108
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,160
good intention.
I appreciate.

109
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,120
Paula for expressing how she
felt and I appreciate all of you

110
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,960
for the love and support that
you constantly show not.

111
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,200
Just to each other, but to this
whole space that we've built.

112
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,000
And continue.
To build together so let's.

113
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Keep growing, let's keep
empowering, and let's keep

114
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:35,320
listening just a little bit
better every time that we show

115
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,040
up.
And I don't want to have a big

116
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,360
conversation about this today, I
really think.

117
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Out of respect for Paula.
Out of respect.

118
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,240
For the conversation and.
Out of respect.

119
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,600
For moving forward, I really
don't want to keep digging into

120
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,000
this because it was an
emotional.

121
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,960
Day yesterday.
I know it was for Paula, I know

122
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:03,880
it was for me and some others.
And like I said, with some

123
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,240
reflection some time, this is
where I've landed and I'd like

124
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,920
to move on.
So with that being said, let me

125
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,640
share a quick.
Update with you guys and reopen

126
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,960
the floor if you.
Will on the dopey podcast band

127
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,360
that I.
Shared with you yesterday if

128
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,120
you're.
You're new to the conversation.

129
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,520
Yesterday I.
Shared I know a guy who has been

130
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,880
doing this.
Podcast dopey for almost. 10

131
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,720
years now and it's.
A podcast he started with a

132
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,600
really.
Close friend of his on drug

133
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,360
addiction and recovery and being
able.

134
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,640
To also share.
Stories and be able to laugh

135
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,040
about it as much as they can and
it has grown wildly since they

136
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,640
started 9 1/2 years ago.
And unfortunately, most.

137
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,480
Of that growth.
Came after the passing of.

138
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Dave's Co host Dave is.
A family member of mine and I've

139
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,360
worked with him and Chris a
little bit, but mostly with

140
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,320
Dave.
After Chris left us.

141
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,280
On his podcast, helping him out,
helping him figure things out, I

142
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,360
on occasion he would call me and
we would have good conversations

143
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,280
about it.
And he's grown that podcast to

144
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,760
22 million plus downloads since
then.

145
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,960
He's had major celebrities on
that show that were are

146
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,400
recovering addicts and he's had
everyday people on that show as

147
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,720
well.
He's really made.

148
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,960
Something of it and Instagram on
the week of the anniversary of

149
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,200
Chris's passing.
Decided to.

150
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,680
Take down his 50,000 follower
account because they felt that

151
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,720
he was promoting drug use.
Not the case.

152
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,040
And so I.
Shared about this yesterday

153
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,640
morning and surprisingly, just a
few hours later, the ban was

154
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,200
lifted.
Instagram gave it back.

155
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,200
It's so funny too, because I say
it's funny because they don't

156
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,280
even communicate with you.
Not when they take it down.

157
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,280
They don't give you warnings and
when they take it down, they

158
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,920
really don't even say anything
about.

159
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,080
It it's just you're.
Magically gone from their world

160
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,640
and the same happened when they
came back up, all of a sudden it

161
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,640
was there and.
Rightfully so, because yesterday

162
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,760
was the.
Actual anniversary of Chris's

163
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,960
passing.
Which they over.

164
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,560
In that dopey community, they
call it Christmas,

165
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,720
appropriately.
Named, so they had their.

166
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,120
Christmas miracle yesterday and
got their account back and.

167
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,080
Dave is very grateful and
appreciative of us, of our

168
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,120
efforts even.
I don't know how much of an

169
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,800
impact we personally made
because he clearly, I know, was

170
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,960
working behind the scenes to get
that account back.

171
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,480
For the past several days, but
maybe I'd like.

172
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,560
To think we'd had a little
something to do with it.

173
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,240
So kudos.
Congratulations to the Dopey

vote.
And as.

197
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,080
DRDR. What's?
You want to share?

198
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,040
Your hack for us?
It's I've been talking so much,

199
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,840
I feel like I need to get
somebody else involved.

200
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,280
My hack is that if you have more
than one e-mail address, most of

201
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,040
us do to use that as a way to
vote more than one time.

202
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000
Yes.
Please, we need your vote.

203
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,080
It would be awesome.
For us, it would be a community

204
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,760
win for us for sure, 'cause this
is not all me doing making this.

205
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,360
Show the what it is.
So this would be a win for all

206
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,400
of us that I would.
Yeah, that I would absolutely

207
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,720
share with you.
So please.

208
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,960
Do what you can.
Let's let's continue to put this

209
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,160
show on the map.
By the way, welcome to the stage

210
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,360
to Co host Alex Baelish.
Also, Sharon is on stage with us

211
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,040
over on Clubhouse.
Wait, so if we win, since it's a

212
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,200
we a thing, is it like the
Stanley cop where we get to like

213
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,680
each have the the the award at
our house so we can do whatever

214
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,440
we want for like a week or
something like that?

215
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,840
Sure, sure if.
There's a physical award.

216
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,080
I would be happy to.
Pass it around.

217
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,200
Well, good thing Billy's not
here, because he'd probably try

218
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,800
to sell it on eBay or something,
but the rest of us might have

219
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,040
some.
Yeah, and hey Alex, by the way,

220
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,800
this is not podcasting related,
so I will give it just a minute,

221
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,120
Alex.
Yet last night I saw Fantastic

222
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,480
Four and loved it.
I want to see it, I just don't

223
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,720
know if I can get over Pedro
Pascal.

224
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,240
As you will, you will.
I liked it better than Superman.

225
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,800
I know I told you guys when I
saw Superman, I was a little

226
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,880
disappointed.
I still enjoyed the movie.

227
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,760
I just did.
It didn't live up to my

228
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,400
expectations.
Fantastic Four wasn't my

229
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,560
favorite ever superhero movie
and it's one of them.

230
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,080
It's up there on the list.
So if you're a superhero.

231
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,360
Fan I say go to it and if you're
a.

232
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,960
Casual superhero.
Fan but don't like to go to a

233
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,680
lot of these movies 'cause you
feel like.

234
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,200
There's a lot of back.
Story you have to cut catch up

235
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,520
with.
This is not one of those.

236
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,880
Movies.
There's no big back.

237
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,440
Story You don't have to know
the.

238
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Whole Marvel Universe to enjoy.
It and it's very much a grounded

239
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,360
movie, very much about family.
Clearly.

240
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,640
Because it is a movie, they are
a family, so check that out if

241
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,080
you're interested in it.
I give it my stamp of approval.

242
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,680
Now let's talk.
About Earlier this week we had

243
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,800
a.
Really good conversation about

244
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,480
guests gone wrong and how to
handle them and I've even heard

245
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,720
from people reaching out that.
Don't listen.

246
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,360
Here live that our podcast
listeners that have reached out

247
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,320
saying that it was a.
Really helpful episode.

248
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,280
And I thought that today we
could discuss what makes.

249
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,400
A great guest.
Great.

250
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,480
So there was a recent.
Success.

251
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,120
That's the name of the.
Site article titled.

252
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,720
Podcast guest tips that Dr. had
found and the.

253
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,760
Advice focused.
On how to how guests can make a

254
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,880
strong impression by being
professional, being prepared,

255
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,320
engaging, those are kind of.
The three that I think.

256
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,400
Most of us assume if we're going
to be a guest right, to show up,

257
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,920
be professional, be prepared, be
engaging.

258
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,920
You may question that
Professional 1.

259
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,560
I might substitute it with
authentic.

260
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,640
But the article stresses the
importance.

261
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,320
To podcast guests of doing your
homework on the host on the show

262
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,080
promoting.
The episode after it airs.

263
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,920
Building rapport with the host
and not just treating the show

264
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,520
as a marketing tool, which we
talked about.

265
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,480
Some guests do that, but as
hosts, I want to see if we agree

266
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,920
with this list.
What's missing or misunderstood

267
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,640
from a podcaster's perspective?
So I think we'll start.

268
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,080
With I'll open the floor.
I'll.

269
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Share The overarching question
today is what makes someone a

270
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,200
great podcast guest.
From a host's perspective,

271
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,160
because most of us here are.
Hosts have been hosts.

272
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,440
But I'll start with this.
What's?

273
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Something, a guest maybe, that
you've had on your show.

274
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,440
That they did that made your job
easier.

275
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,320
As the host, you had a guest on.
What's something that the guest

276
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,880
did?
That made your job easier.

277
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,600
And I see Jonathan already had
his hand up before.

278
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,360
I just asked that question.
So we'll put him on the spot,

279
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,000
but we'll also see let's.
What do you got to?

280
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,400
Say for us, Jonathan.
I will say that really it's

281
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,760
somebody who's ready and willing
to have the conversation,

282
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,560
whatever that conversation may
be.

283
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,680
So it may not be exactly what
the topic was, but something

284
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,600
comes up and you're ready and
willing to have that

285
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,200
conversation.
That's somebody that's a great

286
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,680
podcast cast guest because
they're on their toes, they're

287
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,160
able to talk about different
things and it just makes it a

288
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,040
lot easier.
I would say that especially

289
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600
because like with myself and
Mimi at the beginning of the

290
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,360
podcast, we chat about whatever.
So having you know somebody who

291
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,560
can chat about whatever like you
and Erica and we're able to do

292
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,200
is awesome.
Yeah, I like that.

293
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,600
I Yeah, Good guest.
You you feel like they're

294
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,640
already part of the show they're
already part of.

295
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,960
The they, they get it.
That's a big one for me too.

296
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,240
And how?
Do they do that?

297
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,000
I think that goes back to one of
the things I just said a moment

298
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,720
ago.
It's really doing your homework.

299
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,960
Listen to a few episodes, Get to
know.

300
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,160
Who the hosts are?
You may pick up on things like,

301
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,839
you know, like for example.
If a guest a future.

302
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:18,000
Guest were listening to today's
show and then I have them on

303
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,280
let's say next week they may say
to me hey Mark I saw that new

304
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,400
Fantastic Four movie I loved it
they latch on to some things

305
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,400
that may be.
You as the host.

306
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,040
Share personally or
professionally and then bring

307
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,920
it, circle it back and show.
Yeah, I I know some things about

308
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,640
you.
It really loosens things up when

309
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,760
a guest does that.
Now I'm looking over at the

310
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,600
clubhouse stage and Alex and
Ashley have something.

311
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,120
So I'm going to go to Alex and
then we'll check in with Ashley.

312
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,680
Go ahead, Alex.
Ashley was first.

313
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,120
She had her hand.
All right, what a gentleman.

314
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:54,720
Let's go to.
Ashley, go for it.

315
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,240
Aw, thanks, Alex.
I've had some really, really

316
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,040
nice guests.
I had one guest who was a video

317
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,480
editor themselves and they asked
for the raw video and they cut

318
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,480
their own clips, so that was
pretty sweet.

319
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,360
And then I had another.
Guest who?

320
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:13,760
Was involved in the spa industry
and the very next day they were

321
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,840
like, come by the spa and we'll
give you massages and skin care.

322
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,560
So that was pretty cool too.
Nice, I love that.

323
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,160
That's awesome.
Thank you for that share,

324
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,520
Ashley.
And I'll keep it going.

325
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,720
Let's check in with Alex now.
Go ahead, Alex.

326
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,040
So basically Ashley said she
just wants people to do her work

327
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,640
and give her stuff, and that's
what makes a good guess.

328
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:40,080
Hey, what's wrong with that?
Too bad the episode never aired

329
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,240
but they got free stuff.
I think that the best thing

330
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,720
about a guest, like when you
have a good guest, they

331
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,920
understand time and they
understand like how to answer a

332
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,400
question.
And I know that sound it.

333
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,120
It's just like one of those
things that is so important.

334
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,520
Like I'm not saying they
understand that it is sound

335
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,440
bites and that it's about
moments.

336
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,880
And yeah, but being I think what
you're getting at is like, you

337
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,280
know, being really concise to
the point and try to do them,

338
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,960
like you said, sound bites.
I wanted to stop you because I

339
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,600
think that's an important piece,
you know, being able to give

340
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,000
your answer valuable pieces of
information within like a 30

341
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,360
second time limit because then
they can easily, the host can

342
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:26,640
easily extract that and put it.
Out there as a social.

343
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,360
Media clip if you're giving
them.

344
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,760
Less work to do.
If you can get concise, is that

345
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,920
what you're saying?
Yeah, as well as you can have a

346
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,480
long conversation, you can have
an hour conversation, you have a

347
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,560
2 hour, whatever conversation it
is.

348
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,440
But also understanding that give
and take, I know we talked about

349
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,320
this earlier with other
episodes, You know, how do you

350
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:52,080
get a guest to give up the mic,
so to speak, if they have a long

351
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,600
answer?
Or.

352
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,400
They go on a tangent.
It's the same type of thing.

353
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,200
You have to be able to juggle
that.

354
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,320
And I think especially with this
type of forum on Clubhouse Blast

355
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,000
Chatter, it's really important
because we're we're like ping

356
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,840
ponging all over the place and
everybody wants to get their

357
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,200
little two cents in and you have
to manage it.

358
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,440
You know, whether you're someone
that like you, Mark, who's

359
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,680
hosting it or us who are just
kind of in the background, we

360
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,200
all have to be respectful of
that.

361
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,400
So that's why I'll shut up now.
Thank you, Alex.

362
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,320
I see here on Chatter, we've got
Nick wanting to chime in.

363
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,520
Go for it, Nick.
Good morning.

364
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,200
Good morning, everybody.
Some of my favorite guests are

365
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,800
the ones that enthusiastically
share your episode or their

366
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,600
episode on in social media.
I tried to make it as simple as

367
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,960
possible when I was doing the 95
podcast with every guest that I

368
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,040
had, I would create different
social media posts and I do it

369
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,960
some sizes and things like that
that I could give to the guest

370
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,280
to help promote and share the
episode.

371
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,440
And even doing that it he was
hit or miss on whether or not

372
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,040
people would share and the guest
that would go out of their way

373
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,640
and like even not even use the
posts that I share, but post

374
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,160
their own stuff to say, hey, I
was on this podcast.

375
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,480
That to me was the best because
everyone knows promotion is the

376
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,240
hardest part of podcasting,
getting your name out of there.

377
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,080
And when a guest will do that
and help lift each other up like

378
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,160
that to me is the best.
Yeah, I'm with you, Nick.

379
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,760
And I think one of the things.
That I get really happy.

380
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,360
About from a guest after.
The show is over.

381
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,800
When they asked me.
If I would be.

382
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,560
Willing to share the file with
them of the episode so that they

383
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,640
can go and pull out what they
want to pull out from the

384
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,760
episode and share it to their
own social media.

385
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,760
I love that.
Because I know what they're

386
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,640
doing.
I at least a lot of them, I know

387
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,600
what they're doing.
They're doing that so that they

388
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,920
can put it together in a way
they can brand it in.

389
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,880
Their way.
So that it really looks and

390
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,960
feels like it's their content so
that when their audience lands

391
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,120
on it, they can connect with
that and say, oh, that's so and

392
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:06,920
so's post.
I'm stopping the scroll.

393
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,200
I want to hear what they have to
say.

394
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,400
I'm with you there, Nick.
I think any guest who really

395
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,920
makes an effort in some way to
to promote.

396
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Their episode that makes our
lives.

397
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,040
Easier and really I think.
Helps the growth of the show, or

398
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,160
at least.
Of that episode, I see Janae

399
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,720
wants to chime in.
Janae's on stage over on

400
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,880
Clubhouse.
Go for it, Janae.

401
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,800
Good morning.
Good morning, everyone.

402
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,400
Happy Friday.
So excited to be here and this

403
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,760
is my favorite question.
You do have a lot of guests on

404
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,800
your show.
I do have a.

405
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,920
Lot of guests on my show excited
to talk about this because some

406
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,200
of the things that people don't
realize and, and I've, I've seen

407
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,880
these guests, they actually tell
you stories when you ask your

408
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,800
question, right?
They tell you stories, they go

409
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,320
and be vulnerable when they're
sharing that.

410
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,600
When they do that, you feel more
open and the audience who's

411
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,040
listening, they feel more open.
And all the things that you guys

412
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,320
mentioned about researching the
host, how they talk about facts

413
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,840
about who the Hostess, these
things are excellent.

414
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:19,040
But being vulnerable, being time
effective, those things are

415
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,560
absolutely some of the things
that make them a go from a good

416
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,760
guest to becoming a really great
guest.

417
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,320
And thank you for this question
or or, you know, bringing this

418
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,560
up because it's inspired me to
do an episode on this as well.

419
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,760
Yeah.
Nice, but you made you have your

420
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,440
your piece of advice about being
a guest that you put in the

421
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,800
chat.
It's the greatest piece of

422
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,600
advice ever given.
What is it?

423
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Tell me, Junaid, either one of
you.

424
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,840
Says don't be a tool.
That's pretty much it.

425
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,280
That's pretty much.
Don't be a tool.

426
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,960
That about thumbs it up.
Tool is an amazing band, but

427
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,760
don't be 1.
And when you mean that, when you

428
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,800
say that, now are you saying?
It in the figurative.

429
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,560
Way of, you know, it's almost
like I want to say a nickname,

430
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,720
but it's a nickname is
endearing.

431
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,000
It's more of a an insult, if you
will.

432
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,320
Or do you mean it more literally
in the sense like?

433
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Don't come on there to be just a
tool, just a.

434
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,520
Machine that just spits out
robotic answers.

435
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,920
Be something you know.
Be more human.

436
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:28,000
Yes, being more human.
Just earlier today I was on

437
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,120
LinkedIn and this gentleman
posted a screenshot from from

438
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:35,080
Riverside and he's asking like,
here's a really awesome

439
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,560
interview, but Riverside never
takes endearing photos of you

440
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,280
when you're recording.
Always the most awkward ones.

441
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,600
I'm like, yes, that makes us
more human.

442
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:47,600
There you go.
Yeah.

443
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,520
And I think the storytelling
aspect is certainly A+ when you

444
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,240
have a guest on a guest that can
tell you.

445
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:57,200
A story.
Especially, let's say you have.

446
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,600
Some guest expert on who's there
to pour?

447
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,120
In to your audience to give
advice to that's going to be

448
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:07,760
actionable that they can really
take away and do something with.

449
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,520
I think that if they can do it.
In.

450
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,560
Story if they can tell.
You their own stories of how

451
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,200
they.
Overcame something or how they

452
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,120
learned a lesson as opposed to
just telling you how to learn

453
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:24,240
your own lesson or how to.
Do a certain thing that.

454
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,400
Lands a lot more on most people.
They're able to put themselves

455
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,320
in the story, and they're able.
To relate and they're able.

456
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,480
To then tie together.
How can I use this to my

457
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,760
advantage?
I'm so glad that I took that the

458
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,200
wrong way.
Evidently what you wrote to me,

459
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,880
I, I got to tell you, that's not
where I was going with it

460
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,600
because unfortunately we've all
had guests that were not the

461
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,680
tool that you were talking
about, but the tool that I was

462
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,760
thinking about because.
And it applies just the same,

463
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,520
Alex.
If you'd say.

464
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,800
So it does it applies just the
same.

465
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,440
Don't be a tool.
Yes, in that in that figurative

466
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,840
sense, I'm with you.
Go ahead, Jonathan.

467
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,720
No, because I was just going to
say that it applies in the sense

468
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,280
that, you know, don't be a tool
for Jackass, whatever you want

469
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,800
to say.
Or Jackass, Sure.

470
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,480
How do you know right away when
someone is a?

471
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,080
Great fit for your show.
Whether you've connected with

472
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,320
them as a potential guest.
Or.

473
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,680
Maybe as their guest.
Like what is?

474
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,960
What are some other?
Ways that you know instantly.

475
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,640
This is a great fit for the
show.

476
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,560
They offer to let you edit your
podcast at the spa.

477
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,880
Oh wow, yeah, that.
Would like Ashley gets to do.

478
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:47,360
So for me to share the podcast
appearance that I did, that

479
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:51,360
means that the host would have
to ask me something that's never

480
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:55,600
been asked before because my
followers have heard everything

481
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,160
about me.
So let's be a little bit

482
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,600
ingenious and let's talk about
something that maybe my

483
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,120
followers have never heard
before.

484
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,960
I think that's important and
that's going to help that

485
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,200
particular author be more likely
to share.

486
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,000
The other thing I was going to
say is that I think you always

487
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:21,080
have to be aware of the
situation where the host and the

488
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,920
guests are really good friends.
One of the things that I hear

489
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,000
all the time is remember, it's
just a conversation.

490
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,840
It's not an interview.
But that's not always true if

491
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,720
you have two friends who are
talking.

492
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,600
I had the experience, and I
think I've told Mark this.

493
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,880
I had the experience a couple
months ago of editing a show

494
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,960
where the hosting guests were
really good friends.

495
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,560
And then all of a sudden the
host said, you know, I'm trying

496
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,920
to get Tony to come on the show.
Oh, Tony's great.

497
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,240
You know what?
I went to temple with Tony.

498
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,760
You really went to temple with
Tony?

499
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,160
Yeah.
And oh, you know what?

500
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,960
It's not the same Tony.
I think we're thinking of two

501
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:00,880
different Tonys.
That's OK.

502
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,320
I went to temple with two
different Tonys.

503
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,760
And I mean, all of a sudden this
show was like, where where are

504
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,760
we going?
What is this?

505
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,160
What's happening?
What's happening?

506
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,600
So it is not always a
conversation, sometimes it is an

507
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,760
interview and you really have to
be cognizant of that.

508
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,560
Yeah, I'm with you there, Dr.
And I think really for me what

509
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,600
what it comes down to.
Is it's.

510
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,240
Always, if it's a podcast and
you are bringing somebody into

511
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,320
that episode new to the show,
that's a guest and it's an

512
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,800
interview first, in my opinion,
it's always.

513
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,800
Interview first.
And then yes of.

514
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,280
Course it's a conversation but
you have to remember their your

515
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,080
reasons for doing.
This podcast.

516
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,040
You're doing it for an.
Audience right you and if you

517
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,840
want to put on a good show for
your audience it's.

518
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,360
Got to be an interview. 1st and
then how do I make this quote UN

519
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,880
quote?
Interview feel like a

520
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,160
conversation.
That's the art.

521
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:05,880
Of hosting a guest on a podcast,
Jeff is on the stage here on

522
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,120
Chatter.
Good morning.

523
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,280
Jeff, did you want to add to
this good guest conversation?

524
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,080
Yeah, I said to me, it's great
if the person watches the show.

525
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,920
And frankly, if someone says,
hey, Jeff, I listen to these two

526
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:24,200
episodes, my demeanor changes
100% with that guest, but I

527
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,120
don't count on that.
And if they're coming on to my

528
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,920
show, So it's like, I always
think like it's my role to

529
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,640
ensure that they're going to
guess.

530
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,800
Now, do they have to be
gregarious and answer questions

531
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,720
and not go, yes, you know, one
word answers.

532
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,440
Yes, I think those I think being
a good conversationalist, they

533
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,800
have to come to the table with.
But if the ultimate end of it,

534
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,040
whether it's a good show or not,
I think is the role of the host,

535
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,680
I mean to guide it and
eventually edit it and kind of

536
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,360
take it that way and make them
them feel comfortable.

537
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,080
Everything so far we've talked
about is them making the host

538
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,160
feel comfortable.
And I think it's the host job to

539
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,880
do that.
That's why we're the host.

540
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,720
Yeah, I'm with you there and
I'm, I appreciate you making

541
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:06,800
that distinction.
And I.

542
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,040
I think it's really.
On both people.

543
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,120
And you're right, I think in the
big picture.

544
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,520
If I had to put.
The onus on one more than the

545
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,280
other I.
Would say it's the host.

546
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,760
Job to make the guest.
Feel comfortable.

547
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,200
And maybe one of the ways that a
host can do that is to.

548
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,880
Encourage the guest to go.
Back and listen to an.

549
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,560
Episode or two or host that pre.
Interview with the guest first

550
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,640
so that they can feel
comfortable.

551
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,360
Yeah, I'm with you.
Thanks for that, Jeff.

552
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,840
All right.
Listen, we have about 20 minutes

553
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,560
left.
I want to Does anybody else want

554
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,400
to chime in on this conversation
of what makes a good guest

555
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,080
great?
OK, then here's where.

556
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,400
I want to take this.
It is Friday, so let's.

557
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,920
Share our wins from this.
Past.

558
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,800
Week and this is the first time
doing this on 2 platforms

559
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,480
simultaneously, so I have to
figure this out on the fly.

560
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,240
I did not think that.
Through.

561
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,000
Fully admit and I think.
Where I will start is here.

562
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,880
On chatter with Jeff since we
were just talking to him.

563
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,400
So Jeff, go for.
It just across 500,000 views,

564
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,400
you know, it's just, it's just,
it is what it is.

565
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,600
It's just a number.
I mean, it was big enough for

566
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,840
you to buddy to make a little.
Graphic for you.

567
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,200
Graphic for it.
So it must be a big deal, right?

568
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,040
I've been having a lot of luck
lately with YouTube Shorts.

569
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,880
That's how really helped kind of
make that growth happen as

570
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,320
quickly as it has.
Thank you for that and I know

571
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,280
Jeff's also been seeing some
success on TikTok with some of

572
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,200
his videos.
Over there as well, so Jeff's.

573
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,960
Definitely getting some traction
with his podcast content.

574
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,840
Congratulations to you.
Jeff and look at.

575
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,080
That, and here's a win.
I'll share with.

576
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,760
Jeff, he got somebody from.
Clubhouse to jump over here.

577
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,000
On Chatter we've got Janae who
was was over on the clubhouse

578
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,680
stage.
He jumped stages.

579
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,840
Janae, good morning.
Do you want to share any wins

580
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,160
with us?
Good morning, gentlemen and

581
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,840
ladies.
I got to be a guest on David

582
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:09,120
Campbell's show last week and
Kate Wohlman was a guest on my

583
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,040
show last week.
Super excited for that and of

584
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:17,160
course, getting to the 800,
speaking out a few stages and

585
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:23,320
just so excited to take this
journey on as we grow together.

586
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,480
Also secured a couple of clients
for building their studios.

587
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,800
So that's for me.
Thanks so much guys.

588
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,960
Awesome.
Thank you, Janae and.

589
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,560
Cool to hear you.
Collaborating with some

590
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,360
community members as well.
Nice to hear you and Dave did an

591
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:43,040
interview together recently.
So I'm going to let you guys

592
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,200
over on Clubhouse share your
wins and I will go ahead.

593
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,480
But first I'll.
Go ahead and share mine.

594
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,480
So first, although today is a
little.

595
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,960
Bumpy.
We've had a very successful

596
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,920
first week of.
Simulcasting to Clubhouse to.

597
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,360
Chatter to YouTube Live and.
Chatter has been awesome.

598
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:07,000
That's one, one win.
And then I also finalized a new.

599
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,400
Sale this week I am.
Creating and managing another

600
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,240
meta AD campaign for one of my
clients, my existing podcast

601
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,320
clients.
So that's one.

602
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,280
And then the next one is, is
that we?

603
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,240
Started another previously to
this sale we already.

604
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,200
Had another meta ads campaign
running for another one of my

605
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,880
podcast clients and it's going
really well and I thought.

606
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,680
I would share the results with
you.

607
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,480
So this is.
Only within about a.

608
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,120
Week or so of.
The ad campaign running since

609
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,080
this at these ads are running
674 clicks.

610
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:50,800
This is all going through meta
3709 reach so it got to.

611
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:56,440
In front of 30. 700 people,
they've only spent 23.

612
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,880
Dollars to do that so.
Out of 674 clicks, 118 of those

613
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,880
clicks are attributed to the
ones that.

614
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,160
We have two places that they're
clickers can.

615
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,440
Go 1 is to their website,
another is to their podcast

616
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,719
player.
You know, the podcast itself.

617
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,760
So 118 of those 674 clicks.
Are attributed to the.

618
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,560
Ones going to the website, so
that means 556 are going to the

619
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:27,679
podcast player and out of those
118 clicks, just about 100 of

620
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:30,080
them.
Are actual verified legitimate

621
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,679
traffic.
Through the meta Facebook.

622
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,360
Pixel.
So that's the little.

623
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,719
Tracking code that you put on a
website so that you can.

624
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,600
See the actual traffic.
Coming in to your website.

625
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,280
So those are three big.
Wins this week and of course I

626
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,440
got to go see Fantastic Four,
which was awesome.

627
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,040
Now let me just check in real
quick with Clubhouse Dr. I'm

628
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,520
asking you if you don't mind.
Take the lead.

629
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Well, my win for the week is
that I have learned how to get

630
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,040
on chatter.
That's my win for the week.

631
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,640
I, I got to tell you, that's a
pretty huge win because I had

632
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,040
such a huge hard time trying to
get on.

633
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,240
I was on and then it wouldn't
let me get back on.

634
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,360
So when's the last time you
tried?

635
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,800
Now I can get on a lot, but like
there was a period there for

636
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,240
like about like 2 months where
it wouldn't let me log on,

637
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:25,720
right?
But I'm so happy because it's

638
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:27,760
pretty neat.
The thing about Chatter is I

639
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,480
just wish they had more rooms
all the time.

640
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,800
But it's definitely a fun
platform and there's a lot of

641
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,120
great features on it that I
think a lot of people all enjoy.

642
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,880
Ashley, what are your wins?
Oh my wins for this week is just

643
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,320
simply making it to today.
I've had a very busy week, got a

644
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,040
lot of great editing done, and
today is Friday.

645
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,160
You can't go wrong with that.
Amanda, what's your wins for

646
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,000
today or week?
I had a good TikTok video kind

647
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,040
of go a little bit viral, so
that was nice.

648
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,520
And I do get paid on TikTok now.
So it's not a lot of money, but

649
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,360
it's fun when you make some
money off of doing something.

650
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,920
So that was fun.
And then I'll also throw in a

651
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,920
win that even though Chris and I
are on a break, our downloads

652
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,760
continue to like continue to
rise, which is really fun since

653
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,240
we haven't really created
anything new in a month.

654
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:20,840
So to see our numbers still
continue to grow and let all of

655
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,560
our hard work in the past few
years like kind of work for us

656
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,440
during this break has just been
a lot of fun.
