441. The Hidden Time Drains in Podcasting

1
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,760
Good morning podcasting morning
chat.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,640
Today is Friday, January 23rd,
2026, and today mail back

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,760
questions from frustrated
podcasters, recording setups,

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,000
platform freezes, posting
concerns, and we'll wrap up with

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,400
community wins from this past
week.

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,840
And I didn't hit the post, so if
you're listening live on

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,920
Clubhouse, hit the share button,

00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,720
screen and share it.
However, Clubhouse lets you.

9
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,880
And if you're catching us via
podcast, YouTube, LinkedIn,

please share this with a fellow
podcaster.

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,840
And now give us about 30
seconds.

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,800
We'll get things rolling.
Thanks for being here.

13
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:22,380
Good morning again, podcasting,
Morning chat.

14
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:26,020
Thanks so much for being here.

Faye, Sid Meadows and Nick

17
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:35,580
Nallback.
And if you want to learn more

18
00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:39,900
about those fine people, fine
podcasters, content creators,

just go to
podcastingmorningchat.com, go to

20
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,760
the about page, and you can
learn about each and every one

21
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,600
of them.
And you can connect with them

22
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,680
over there too.
We have links, all sorts of

23
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,560
different links, different ways
that you can connect with them.

24
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,040
And thank you to this team for
another great week of shows.

25
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,480
I'm looking forward to today's.
As I said, we're going to be

26
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,280
digging into the mailbag today.
I've got 3 questions from

27
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,680
listeners and our community,
like Dr. for example, that hit

28
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,320
on different things like tools,
workflows, and platform

29
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,480
decisions podcasters are dealing
with currently.

30
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,120
So we'll work through those
together, and we'll wrap up with

31
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,040
wins from the week at the end,
and we'll give that some real

32
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,360
time today.
So start thinking about

33
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,720
something that you want to share
from your past week.

34
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,000
Let's dive into the mailbag.
I should probably come up with a

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,560
sound effect where it sounds
like I'm rustling through papers

36
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,520
pulling out the next question,
right?

37
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,480
That would be here.
I'll do it myself.

38
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,080
What am I talking about?
All right, getting out the

39
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,520
mailbag.
And this one comes actually as

40
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,240
Adm that I received from a
listener.

41
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,880
His name is Jeff.
I got this over on LinkedIn.

42
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,000
I told him we're going to be
talking about it today, and he

43
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,840
was appreciative of that.
Jeff has been using Riverside

44
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,480
for a long time and says he
knows it well, but lately he's

45
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280
been running into what he's
calling serious issues.

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,800
He's using specifically the the
editing tool.

47
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,600
He's saying that it's freezing a
lot, that it's moving slowly,

48
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,160
and he's having trouble.
Well, not trouble, but he just

49
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,520
says support hasn't been able to
give him a quick, simple fix.

50
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,080
He's using the free version of
Riverside, and he does his

51
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,360
editing and publishing through
Riverside, but the twist is that

52
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,440
he actually records his
interviews on Zoom first, and

53
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320
then he uploads them to
Riverside to edit and publish.

54
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,160
One of the great features I
think, of Riverside is the fact

55
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,120
that, yeah, you can record in
whatever tool you're comfortable

56
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,120
with if you're not wanting to
use Riverside for whatever

57
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,200
reason, and then you can upload
it to Riverside and use all of

58
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,280
its great tools and features.
He says his computer, and I'll

59
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,040
explain why.
He says his computer is 3 to 5

60
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,000
years old.
He feels like it has plenty of

61
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,600
storage, memory, etcetera.
So from his perspective, he

62
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,640
feels like this is a platform
issue.

63
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,040
I'll explain a little bit more
why.

64
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,360
I'm sharing this part with you
in a moment.

65
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,400
He's frustrated because
Riverside has been one of the

66
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,320
biggest pain points in his
podcast journey, which really

67
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,360
surprises me.
But he's also hesitant to leave

68
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,200
because he knows the platform
well.

69
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,920
He says money is tight and he
really needs a free or low cost

70
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,560
option.
So if you were in Jeff's

71
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,440
situation, using Zoom to record,
needing a free or low cost

72
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,480
solution, and wanting to keep
things simple for non tech savvy

73
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,840
guests, that's one of the
reasons why he does what he's

74
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,680
doing.
Would you stick with Riverside

75
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,160
and troubleshoot?
Or would you change your

76
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,720
workflow or platform?
And if you'd switch, what would

77
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,560
you recommend and why?
And I see several people want to

78
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,480
chime in.
Let me just give you a little

79
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,840
bit more of the back story
there.

80
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:10,920
That whole thing about his
computer being three to five

81
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,280
years old, one of the things I
asked him was about his computer

82
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:17,640
because I used to have some of
these problems that he's

83
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,920
describing when I was using
Riverside on my old computer

84
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,200
that I had just over a year ago.
And I felt like it was a pretty

85
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,480
powerful machine.
It was a laptop, but I felt like

86
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,200
it was a pretty powerful
machine.

87
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,240
But I still was having trouble
and Riverside was telling me

88
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,600
they thought maybe it could be
my computer not being able to

89
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,840
handle it, but I just didn't
want to believe it.

90
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,680
But then it turned out I needed,
I wanted to get a new computer,

91
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,920
not be I didn't get it just
because of Riverside, I assure

92
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,240
you and I, it was time.
I felt like it was time to get a

93
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,720
newer computer 'cause I wanted
something more powerful as AI

94
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,240
really becomes more and more
prominent in the technology

95
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,680
space.
And that cleared up everything.

96
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,520
As a result, Riverside works
very smoothly for me now.

97
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,760
But clearly this person, Jeff,
is trying to save money.

98
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,520
So I don't think the solution is
go buy a new computer.

99
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,120
But I did want to point that out
that a lot of times I don't

100
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,040
think it's actually the
software, even though we want to

101
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,160
blame the software.
There's one more thing I wanted

102
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,720
to say about that and it's
escaping me.

103
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,920
OK, I'll let it go and I'm going
to go to BC 1st and get some

104
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,960
advice from BC.
What do you think Jeff should

105
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:34,760
do?
BCI.

106
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,160
Was going to ask about the
laptop too.

107
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,720
You know, I think for Riverside
right now, even with it being

108
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,520
five years old, so long as he
has like 16 gigs of memory, it

109
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,560
should run pretty smoothly.
So I was curious about that.

110
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,320
But I'm also curious about did
he happen to mention, because we

111
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,840
know Riverside, it handles so
much for us, we really just kind

112
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:57,640
of record or upload to it and
give it 15 good minutes, if

113
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,920
that, and it has most of the
things figured out for us.

114
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:06,040
So I'm curious as to whether or
not he happened to mention how

115
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,640
much of the creative lift he
might be willing to take on.

116
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,640
Because otherwise you could look
at options like Cap Cut,

117
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,560
Premiere Pro, which have nice,
you know, creative areas to kind

118
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,600
of Orient all the different
elements and make a really nice

119
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,560
polished show.
Did he happen to get into that

120
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,360
at all?
He did not, no, But a good

121
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,480
question for him to think about.
I think like cap cut, even free

122
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,680
should be a pretty I think it's
I think it's a bit simpler than

123
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,800
premiere Pro, but that might be
a better option.

124
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,080
It's it's pretty good on the
free version, and it's not quite

125
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,320
as confusing looking as, say,
Premiere Pro can be, so that

126
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,080
might be a good option for him.
Absolutely.

127
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,520
I know several people that use
it.

128
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,840
I'm guessing it's got to be
video since he's doing Zoom and

129
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,360
moving it over to Riverside.
Yeah, I think Cap Cut could be a

130
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,760
good one for sure.
I do remember what I was going

131
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,480
to say a moment ago.
One of the things that I think

132
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:03,240
was I was dealing with my old
computer and Riverside was the

133
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,960
fact that yeah, it did.
It was pretty robust it as far

134
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,040
as what was built inside of that
computer.

135
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,520
But I also had a lot of things
running multiple heavy apps, you

136
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,040
know, that really take a lot out
of the computer, probably

137
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,880
multiple running at the same
time.

138
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,800
And I had multiple hardware
devices plugged into it.

139
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,040
And at the time that was my
MacBook Pro.

140
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,120
And that too can also really
'cause a machine to slow down.

141
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,640
Did you want to say something to
BC?

142
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,520
Yeah, and I was going to say if
it's possible, have him check to

143
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,840
see how much memory he has and
if he happens to have maybe not

144
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,400
quite as much.
I think even 8 gigs should allow

145
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,920
Riverside to be pretty
functional.

146
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,800
But I would say even though it's
five years old, see if have him

147
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,360
look into seeing whether or not
his memories upgradeable, if

148
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,720
that's an option for him, maybe
a quick little, you know, decent

149
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,560
investment 16 to 32.
And if that happens to be the

150
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,160
core issue, then that's going to
pretty much fix everything.

151
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,320
Fair enough.
BCA, lot of people want to chime

152
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,040
in here.
I'm going to try to go in order.

153
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,520
Sid, I believe you were next in
line.

154
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,080
Good morning to you.
What did you want to add to

155
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,400
this?
Can I just pop in real quick?

156
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,480
Just a clarification on what BC
said.

157
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,880
When he when BC is talking about
memory, he's talking about RAM.

158
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,080
He's not talking about storage
memory, he's talking about RAM

159
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,000
memory.
Yeah, that is a big difference.

160
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,080
Thank you, Nick.
Appreciate that.

161
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,920
Yeah, Sid, go for it.
Good morning, everybody.

162
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,440
I want to be super clear, this
is above my pay grade.

163
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:38,920
I don't do this.
I don't use this tool, but in

164
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,920
the essence of problem solving,
one of the things I might do is

165
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,480
a test and record inside of
Riverside like a 10 minute, like

166
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,640
just a test, talk to somebody
right and see if whatever, if

167
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,720
it's a see if the problem might
be originating with the Zoom

168
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,280
recording.
If the same things happen, then

169
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,520
he knows it's not his actual
recording.

170
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,600
So I might do a test like that
just to see.

171
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,720
But I think that's a great idea
and we know that Jeff is using

172
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,560
the free version, which it
should be no problem.

173
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:14,560
He should still be able to
record and like you're saying

174
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,000
and then yeah, once he that
recording has processed, pull it

175
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,840
into the Riverside editor and
start playing and see if you are

176
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,040
experiencing the same issues.
I think that's a good one.

177
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,440
And just and going back to what
BC and I were talking about,

178
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,880
same idea.
I would go into Riverside.

179
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,560
If you want to use your Zoom
recording, shut down all other

180
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,200
apps that are running.
Make sure that you don't have

181
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,360
everything plugged into your
computer, every port plugged in,

182
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,360
and just try to do it as simple
as you can and see if that makes

183
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,280
a difference too.
OK, let's go to Ashley.

184
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,640
Ashley, did you want to add
anything?

185
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,160
Good morning.
I agree.

186
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,840
I would check your processes
running on your computer to see

187
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,120
if there's anything bogging down
the speed.

188
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,880
And I would also go to, I think
it's Internet speedtest.com.

189
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,160
I would just put that in the
Google search and that will let

190
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,600
you know how your Internet
connection is performing.

191
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,680
Because if I'm not mistaken,
Riverside kind of works in the

192
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:17,800
same way the script does where
you actually upload a file to

193
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,280
the Internet and it runs off of
an Internet connection.

194
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,120
So if your inner speed's not the
greatest, then that can cause

195
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,000
your video to freeze and have
interruptions.

196
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,840
And I'm what said I would try to
take Zoom out of the chain

197
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,400
because maybe there's something
up with the recording itself.

198
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,480
Maybe there's something up with
the compression rate.

199
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,400
I would try all those things and
as far as you know, finding a

200
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,080
low cost replacement editor
software, I would try Davinci

201
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,800
Resolve.
There's very little automations,

202
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,160
a lot of those are manual
processes, but it can save you a

203
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,280
lot of money.
I love that.

204
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,240
Thank you, Ashley.
And I think why this is so

205
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,800
important, why we're not saying,
you know what, just dump

206
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,120
Riverside.
Maybe I'm making assumptions and

207
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,720
not shouldn't speak for
everybody, but I think most of

208
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,720
us agree that Riverside is a
powerful tool and it works

209
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,240
really well for the majority of
us.

210
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:17,920
I don't want to see this guy
leave Riverside because a he's

211
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,640
seems like he's very comfortable
with it and BI know it's a

212
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,640
really powerful tool.
So we want him to at least first

213
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,760
try to test everything he can
before he walks away from

214
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,440
Riverside because it it's going
to be hard to find a tool like

215
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,800
that if you're used to working
with that tool.

216
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,960
Nick, did you have anything else
you wanted to add or were the

217
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,720
emojis flashing because you
really wanted to make sure?

218
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,920
We were.
We were specifying RAM memory.

219
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,320
Yeah, I actually did want to
add.

220
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,000
I put it in the chat for one of
the things I wanted to say.

221
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Check how many Chrome tabs you
have open as well.

222
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,720
I was just playing with this the
other day.

223
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,960
If you hover your mouse over a
Chrome tab, it'll tell you how

224
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,080
much memory that one tab is
using.

225
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,200
And if you have a ton of tabs
open, each tab could be 100

226
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,280
megabytes, 203 hundred.
Riverside's probably using 5 to

227
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,680
800 just on its own.
And if you have a bunch of

228
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:16,600
really heavy working tabs, that
could be slowing everything down

229
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,600
for you as well.
So I would totally make sure

230
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,440
Riverside is the only tab that
you have open when you're using

231
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,840
it.
But the other thing that I

232
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,360
wanted to say, and this is on
the budget side of things, it is

233
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,000
you're kind of balancing right
now of like cost versus

234
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,200
usability, ease of use,
convenience.

235
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,080
It's going to be really tough
unless you're willing to spend

236
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,360
the time to learn something like
Davinci Resolve and like

237
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,280
actually said, kind of learn
more of that manual process.

238
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,800
It's going to be hard to get
something that's anywhere close

239
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,040
to what Riverside does without
paying money.

240
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,320
That's kind of the balance you
you face here with convenience

241
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,600
versus.
Cost.

242
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:57,320
Yeah, Thank you for pointing
both of those things out.

243
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,000
The tabs thing, yes, I agree
wholeheartedly.

244
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,320
Your second point too, I think
that's really important.

245
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,760
You get what you pay for, as
Dave Jackson likes to point out

246
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,960
many times when talking about
these tools and people getting

247
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,880
frustrated with those situations
when you're trying to go low

248
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,840
budget or free, that's fine.
If that's your situation and

249
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,720
that sometimes comes at a cost,
a workflow cost.

250
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,440
And Ralph wants to chime in.
Let's go to Ralph.

251
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Go for it.
Good morning, everybody.

252
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,200
I'm going to trumpet what you
just said and ABS one more

253
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,080
thing, and that's my whole
point, Mark, is, you know, what

254
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,040
can you expect from free
software versus paid software?

255
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,440
And I don't mean to be smart,
ALDI about that.

256
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,160
If you're doing a hobby podcast,
I get it, you don't want to

257
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,280
spend a lot of money, but I
think there's an expectations

258
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,640
gap there.
And I would just say personally,

259
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,080
I use the script.
And the reason that I like the

260
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,800
script is you can actually port
your Zoom calls right into that.

261
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,040
So you can record right in the
script.

262
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,680
Excuse me, I'm mixing software
that's ecam.

263
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,520
I'm sorry.
The reason I like the script is

264
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,760
that you can both use it online
and you can bring those files

265
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,320
back locally as well.
So you're not beholden to that

266
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,120
bandwidth of the Internet.
So I use actually use ecam to

267
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,640
record.
And then the way what I was

268
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,520
going to say is you can actually
add your Zoom meetings to ECAMM

269
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,840
and do it all there.
But my whole point, Mark, was

270
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,040
the whole counterpoint of like,
you get what you pay for.

271
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,720
I'm a trumpet with, Jackson
says.

272
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,000
But free is not always free when
you look at your time

273
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,360
investment.
Agreed.

274
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,520
Anyone else want to chime in or
shall we move on to the next

275
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,160
mailbag?
Yes, Dr. I'm in the kitchen, but

276
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,200
this is kind of an important
thing for me.

277
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,240
I am having my own issues with
Riverside right now and it has

278
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,680
to do with one of my own clients
not in OK.

279
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:47,080
I won't worry.
What used to happen is that my

280
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,160
client would e-mail me and say
the interview is in Riverside.

281
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,200
I said great, so I would go to
my LastPass, I would click on

282
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Riverside, I would get into her
account no problem.

283
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,000
But now because she had to
change her password, now she's

284
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,320
given me her password.
But ideally I would still like

285
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,200
to get in the way.
I used to get in, so when I go

286
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,360
to Riverside now it tells me to
login.

287
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,000
When I click on login, it goes
directly to that black screen

288
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,880
that says welcome and how will
you be using Riverside today?

289
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,120
So there's no link for customer
service?

290
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,240
There's no link for it to log
out.

291
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,160
I I found that page where I
could log out.

292
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,160
So I logged out, logged back in,
shut down my computer came back

293
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,880
up.
I have cleared all my cookies,

294
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,200
I've cleared my cache.
I don't know what else to do,

295
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,440
but it's not working and I
can't.

296
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Even if I were to use her
password, I never land on that

297
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,360
page with the login and password
field that I can put it in.

298
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,760
And I've tried to go to
Riverside's Facebook page and

299
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,640
message them.
And I've also tried, you know,

300
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,599
that front page with the guy's
face in it up above.

301
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,520
You can get customer service
that way.

302
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,079
And I've tried to put in, but
that's a bot.

303
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,240
So I've tried both ways and I'm
not getting anywhere.

304
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,680
Well, I'll try to find a way for
you because I know there's a

305
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,640
way.
You can more or less through the

306
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,240
website, send an e-mail to
customer service and I'll try to

307
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,080
find that way for you.
And if I can't, or if it's not

308
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,880
working still, I'll connect you
with somebody at Riverside

309
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,920
'cause I have a few connections
there and.

310
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:36,880
Yes, you do.
Thank you.

311
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,000
I appreciate.
It no problem.

312
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,160
Yeah, I just, yeah, that's just
a bizarre one.

313
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,680
It sounds like a really isolated
issue with just one client

314
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,360
because like you said, it's not
happening say with some of the

315
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,320
our ironic media clients.
Yeah.

316
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,880
Those clients give me, ideally a
direct link, yeah.

317
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,000
Go make some eggs and we'll come
back to you because you have

318
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,640
something you wanted to share
with the group.

319
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,040
So we'll do that.
But but first, let's go.

320
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,040
Oh, wait, let's go to our next
mailbag question.

321
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:11,120
All right, got it out here.
And this one actually comes from

322
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,000
the Buzz Sprout Facebook group,
comes from someone named

323
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,040
Catherine.
Catherine said for podcasters

324
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,760
who have guests, what's the most
effective way you found for

325
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,480
gathering and storing guest
information like BIOS, headshots

326
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,880
and links?
I'm curious if there's a best

327
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,160
practices workflow or specific
software people are using.

328
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,920
So I'll throw this to the room.
If you're regular, if you

329
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,680
regularly have guests on your
show, how are you handling guest

330
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,720
intake right now?
And let's also discuss how you

331
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,320
research your guests, if at all.
Like I think that's part of it,

332
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,800
even though that's not
specifically what she asked, I

333
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,440
think that's relevant to this
question.

334
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,840
So really, again, if you
regularly have guests on your

335
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,120
show, how are you handling guest
intake right now?

336
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:08,880
And I wasn't looking at my
monitor or my phone when I said

337
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,760
it.
So if you want to speak, go

338
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,280
ahead, Ralph, we'll go to you
first.

339
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,040
Yeah, I don't do a lot of guest,
but one of the great features of

340
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,280
Pod Page is they actually have a
really great guest intake form

341
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,040
that you can send a link to the
person and they can upload their

342
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,520
bio, they can put their picture
on there, they can Add all their

343
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,080
social links.
And when I was doing a lot more

344
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,000
hosting of bringing Pete guest
on, I found it to be really

345
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,080
useful.
And the other thing that I'm

346
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,600
going to say, Mark, while we're
talking about guesting, one of

347
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,840
the best ways I think you can
you collect that information is

348
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,960
do a pre interview.
I know I talked about that

349
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,880
before, but I think that's the
secret sauce to the whole thing

350
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,040
is do that pre interview, not
for the sake of, you know, all

351
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,960
the things you're going to talk
about during the during the

352
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,440
interview, but to get to know
the person, get their top

353
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,840
information, learn how to say
their last name.

354
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,160
That's always the good one.
Because I don't know how many

355
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,920
times I've been on shows lately,
people are like, so how do you

356
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,440
pronounce your name in the
middle of the show?

357
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,920
So those are a couple things
that I would recommend.

358
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,560
Love that.
Thank you.

359
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,280
Yeah, Pod Page does have some
great features for that sort of

360
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,040
thing.
And I'm sharing a link both here

361
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,880
on Clubhouse and in the show
notes.

362
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,320
And just Full disclosure, it is
an affiliate link.

363
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,720
So if you decide to click it and
ultimately go with Pod Page,

364
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,840
that just gives me a little a
little kickback for referring

365
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,560
you.
It doesn't do anything, change

366
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,360
anything with your price.
It just is a thank you from Pod

367
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:39,040
Page to me for referring you.
And I am a user of Pod Page as

368
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,040
well.
So I'm not just pushing them on

369
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,520
you to make some money.
It's a genuine, it's a genuine

370
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,560
push because I use it and love
what they do there.

371
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,680
It makes life so much easier.
And so same with my clients.

372
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,680
A lot of my clients are using it
as well.

373
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,920
Ashley, I think you wanted to
say something and then BC as

374
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,200
well.
So go for it, Ashley.

375
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,440
I have two potential systems.
If you're an Apple user, you can

376
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,000
definitely use Apple Notes.
What I would recommend is you

377
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,600
can make a guest profile pages,
you can make a folder and then

378
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,560
within that folder you could
gather all your guest

379
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,640
information and you could even
add voice memos.

380
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,960
So for example, if you need to
remember how to pronounce a

381
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,760
guest name, you can make a voice
memo of you correctly saying

382
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,720
their name and listen to it back
later.

383
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,080
You can put their picture in
there, etcetera.

384
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Now, if you don't have Apple
Notes, the closest thing I could

385
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,080
think of would either be Notion.
Notion I think is a little bit

386
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,520
more advanced for lack of a
better word.

387
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,920
Or maybe another alternative
could be a Google's Sheet

388
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,920
spreadsheet.
Oh yeah, love those suggestions

389
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,240
and really like the idea of the
using the Apple notepad for

390
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,920
exactly what you said.
It's pretty versatile and I like

391
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,960
the idea of leaving yourself
voice notes too.

392
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,400
And you can do that all within
that particular app.

393
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,960
Great idea Ashley, go for it BC.
So similarly to you, you got pod

394
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,200
page.
I'm also on personally on Pod

395
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,600
and Match, which is another
great platform for guests and

396
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,960
hosts to connect.
Another thing that I would

397
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,000
mention, assuming that Catherine
is sharing her show on socials

398
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,600
and therefore this would really
benefit her, and I told my

399
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,120
clients this all the time, is if
you have a links hub, link tree,

400
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:27,520
beacons, all my links, whatever
it is, those typically provide

401
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,800
you the ability to create lead
forms.

402
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,560
So I would say everywhere you're
sharing your show on socials,

403
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,880
make sure there's a CTA to if
you want to be a, if you want to

404
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,200
be a guest and you fit this
parameter of the show, go to my

405
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,960
link tree, fill out the form.
That way when that comes into

406
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,400
her inbox, she already has all
that stuff, the name, the bio of

407
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,520
the breakdown, what good topics
are good for this person, And

408
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,000
she just saves all that in her
inbox.

409
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,040
Pod match definitely helps you
keep things organized between

410
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,360
you and a guest.
And it, yeah, yeah, you can find

411
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,800
the guest bio, you can find
their intake form, and it keeps

412
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,000
it all organized accordingly.
It's pretty nice.

413
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,080
And yeah, if you're taking
advantage of it, yeah, it's not

414
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,440
just about connecting with
guests, it's helping you manage

415
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,640
your guests, too.
I wanted the second Notion.

416
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,600
Just probably no surprise to
most people in here, when I was

417
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,960
doing the 95 podcast, Notion was
like my entire podcast

418
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,200
management system.
Like I would organize all of my

419
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,880
episodes.
I would have an entire guest

420
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,920
database set up that was linked
to those episodes, and that was

421
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,200
where I basically put all of the
guest information, emails,

422
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,360
links, anything that pertained
questions that I was going to

423
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:45,080
ask the guests.
Like it all lived there and I

424
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,080
could just easily search by
episode, or I can search by

425
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,840
guest name and then just have
all the information that I

426
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,720
needed on the guest right there.
Personally, that's my favorite.

427
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,920
Like Ashley said, it's probably
a little bit more on the

428
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,960
technical setup side.
There are so many YouTube

429
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,840
tutorials and things like that
they can walk you through and it

430
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,440
doesn't have to be anything
super complex.

431
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,000
It can be a very simple, almost
like a table, but a little bit

432
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,840
more information gathering
inside that table.

433
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,360
Love that.
Yeah, thank you Nick.

434
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,080
And I'll go to Dr. Oh, actually
Tide 1st.

435
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,680
And but before I do Tide, I just
wanted to share one way that

436
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,320
I've been playing around with
this, although clearly lately I

437
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,880
haven't, we haven't had any.
Well, I guess we've had a couple

438
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,040
guests so far over the past
couple months.

439
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,320
But the way I like to do this
sort of thing is with ChatGPT

440
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,280
projects.
So that's a little bit different

441
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,000
than just a general conversation
that you have with ChatGPT.

442
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,560
You can actually set up a
project and then what you can do

443
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,160
is feed it information within
the project.

444
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,560
You can create a conversation
that is about your, let's say,

445
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,240
next guest and you can give it
all the information.

446
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,720
You can have it do some research
for you.

447
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,000
You can have it organize it in a
very specific way to your

448
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,120
workflow.
And what's cool about it is, is

449
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:08,960
it also learns everything about
what you're doing within that

450
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,240
project, you know, develop some
memory and it becomes more and

451
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,880
more intuitive to your process,
your podcast guesting processes

452
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,240
from workflow to research and
everything in between.

453
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,600
It's pretty cool and pretty
intuitive.

454
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,080
And I would recommend trying
that if that's if you're

455
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,000
comfortable enough using AI at
this point.

456
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,640
All right, Tide, I'm coming to
you.

457
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,800
Welcome to the stage.
What did you want to add to all

458
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,000
this?
Well, I've been podcasting for

459
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,200
three months now.
It's really an exciting

460
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,000
adventure.
And when I joined Buzz Sprout, I

461
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,920
guess someone got my contact
information and they were from

462
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,840
Pod Match and I had never heard
of them before, but I decided to

463
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,880
jump on their platform.
It was $6 a month.

464
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,480
So I pay $6 a month to basically
be matched.

465
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,720
It's almost like, I don't know,
like a tating app, but for

466
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,160
podcasters if know about it.
I love it.

467
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,960
And so I get matched with all
these different individuals.

468
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,560
But they recently just added
their own CRM.

469
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,880
So this was probably as of two
weeks ago or so.

470
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,800
And they have all of your
guests, they have their profile

471
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,360
BIOS, there are BIOS, they have
a section where you can add

472
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:19,200
information about them,
important details like the name,

473
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,760
pronunciation, like someone
said.

474
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,120
And it's really nice for me
because it's all in one place.

475
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:26,520
And I just wanted to, if anybody
didn't know about it, I just

476
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,680
wanted to let people know that
if you're not a super organized

477
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,360
person like myself, it's nice
just to have it all there.

478
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,400
Pre populated under pod match.
And it was a pretty reasonable

479
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,880
price.
Love that.

480
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,120
Thank you, Tide.
And my guess is you probably

481
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:43,840
heard from Alex Sanfilippo.
If if, yeah, if I we were a

482
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,360
betting man, that's what I
guess.

483
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:49,880
And I know that Alex is also
personally close friends with

484
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:55,240
Buzz Sprouts CEO Tom.
So yeah, there could be some

485
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,640
synergy there.
That could be what you what how

486
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,440
that happened.
But yeah, again, pod match is

487
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,160
awesome.
I'm sharing a link here on

488
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,680
Clubhouse and in the show notes.
It is also an affiliate link as

489
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,840
well.
And I am also a user of Pod

490
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,480
Match, so again, not just
pushing a product on you, this

491
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,800
is something that I use as well.
Thank you, Todd, for that.

492
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,120
And thank you for that.
Yeah, sharing some of those

493
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:21,640
details of how it works besides
just matching you with a host or

494
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,320
a guest.
All right, DRI, know you wanted

495
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,440
to chime in.
Go for it.

496
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,200
I am a Trello girl through and
through, so that's where I keep

497
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,480
the information.
And also I am 100% on board with

498
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,800
the pre interview.
But before that free interview,

499
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:43,120
I try and do a little research.
Like I look them up on YouTube

500
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,320
to see if they, you know, maybe
they have such a thick accent

501
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,680
that it can't be understood.
Or maybe just because they write

502
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,920
a book doesn't mean they have
the ability to speak very

503
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,440
clearly.
So I make sure that they can put

504
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,320
one word in front of the other
in a cohesive manner, if you

505
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,400
know what I mean.
I usually check them out on

506
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,960
YouTube.
I also go to my regular podcast

507
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,360
playing apps and put their name
in to see if they've done any

508
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:18,440
podcasts before and then if they
have then we graduate to the pre

509
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,680
interview.
How do you organize all of that?

510
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,080
Because that is the kind of the
main question that this person

511
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,320
had.
How do you what's your workflow

512
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,360
look like?
Oh, I loves Mitrello.

513
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,400
I do.
I loves Mitrello so hard.

514
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:39,360
So yeah, everything, everything
is on a guesting Trello board

515
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,680
that I've created.
And, you know, that's like,

516
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,120
that's like a great Rolodex that
you can put all your notes in

517
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:54,400
and even stuff to call back.
You know, some of them to stay

518
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,840
in touch, especially if they're
really good guests, you know, to

519
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,320
stay in touch with them, get
their birthday to, you know,

520
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,840
any, any kind of thing that
comes up in conversation that

521
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,480
you can use as a touch point.
Trello is is my best.

522
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,440
Friend Trello is a great
suggestion for that organization

523
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,360
that workflow specific to guests
or really to all different

524
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,680
workflows for that matter.
All right, I'm going to go to

525
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,640
Sid.
Sid, what do you want to add to

526
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,920
this?
As most of you know that 90% of

527
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,160
my podcast is interviews.
And this is a very interesting

528
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,600
conversation because I don't
know if how many of you noticed

529
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,360
Katie Brinkley's post last night
where she's thinking about

530
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,040
Facebook.
She's thinking about giving up

531
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,880
her show after 500 episodes
because of her issues with guest

532
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,360
and not showing up for
recording, not sharing any

533
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,240
information.
I mean, for me, that's kind of

534
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,240
tragic because I love her show,
right?

535
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,880
But I, I try to be the easy
button and not make my guest do

536
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,640
a lot of work.
I don't ask them to share

537
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,000
anything.
I say to them if you want some

538
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,800
assets, we're happy to do that
for you.

539
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,840
We're going to share it.
We're going to tag you it on

540
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,160
Instagram and LinkedIn.
If you feel like you want to

541
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,520
share, please do.
I don't ask them to do anything.

542
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:10,880
I tell them what we're going to
do.

543
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,720
I don't ask them to fill out a
form because I don't take random

544
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,280
guest.
So most of the people that are

545
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,040
on my show with a few exceptions
come to come to the show because

546
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,240
I have sought them out.
I've done my research, I've been

547
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,720
following them or I'm connected
to them or I got introduced to

548
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,000
them and I know what they're
doing and so I bring them up.

549
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,160
So they've been, in my opinion,
they've been fully vetted.

550
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,160
So there's no form to fill out.
All that I ask is that we do a

551
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,120
pre call together and they send
me a headshot.

552
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,040
And in the pre call I take a lot
of notes.

553
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,880
I have my Otter in there and I
use that to, in order to help me

554
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,760
create the run of show and come
up with some ideas and

555
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,120
frameworks and titles of things
I want to talk about.

556
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,360
And that's it.
So the heavy lifting is on me,

557
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,960
the host, which is where it
should be.

558
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,200
I think part of our problem is
we try to put heavy lifting on

559
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,240
the guests in order to help our
show grow.

560
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,880
It's not our guest
responsibility to help our our

561
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,200
show grow.
It is our responsibility to grow

562
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,400
our show.
We have to take ownership of

563
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,200
that.
So I am the easy button for the

564
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,760
guests.
And I think if we look at how do

565
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,960
we make it easy for the guests
rather than all this stuff that

566
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,440
we need them to do or want them
to do, we might actually see a

567
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,880
different outcome as it relates
to how the guest supports us,

568
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,280
how they show up and how what
they do to promote the show.

569
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,520
I can, by the way, we use click
UPS in Google Drive.

570
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:31,920
Everything goes into Google
Drive.

571
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,200
It's organized really well.
And we use click up as our

572
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,920
management system in order to
manage the process of getting a

573
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,160
show ready to go.
So I'm off my soapbox now.

574
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,960
Thank you, Sid, I, I appreciate
where you're coming from there.

575
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,920
I think sometimes as podcast
hosts, we might, we might come

576
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,320
off a little annoying trying to
get our guests to do the things

577
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,200
right, share the episode,
etcetera.

578
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,560
And I, I appreciate you just
taking the responsibility,

579
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,320
taking the ownership yourself
and saying, here's what we're

580
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,680
going to do.
We're going to promote you and

581
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,160
we're going to promote your
episode.

582
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,760
And if you feel like doing the
same, we'll send you stuff to do

583
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,720
it.
And also, I want to just call

584
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,240
out and I'm not saying you don't
do this, but I just want to call

585
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,000
out.
Besides tagging, more and more

586
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,000
of these social media platforms
are allowing collaborations.

587
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,960
YouTube, Instagram specifically
where now it if they accept the

588
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,560
collaboration offer the content
appears on their profile it as

589
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,720
if they posted it and all they
have to do is click 1 button and

590
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:35,280
say yes I accept, I I want this
to appear on my profile page.

591
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:41,360
It works really well and again,
it's much less obnoxious

592
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,280
annoying to have to keep asking
somebody to do it.

593
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,120
If they don't accept it, they
don't accept it.

594
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,280
I agree with you.
It's our responsibility to

595
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,000
promote our episodes, not our
guests, as much as we'd like

596
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,800
them to.
I'm going to come to BC in just

597
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,480
a second.
I do want to share with you all

598
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,520
real quick.
I know I did this earlier this

599
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:08,280
week, but I was a guest on
Yvonne's podcast, her podcast

600
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,720
Late Bloomer Living, and it came
out earlier this week.

601
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,640
And I'm sharing this with you
not because I want you to listen

602
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,120
to my episode, but if we're
connected, if you feel like we

603
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,400
have some sort of relationship,
I think you might find this

604
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,160
interesting this episode.
And by the way, Yvonne is a

605
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,440
fantastic host.
I think she just, she knows how

606
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,800
to make a guest feel comfortable
and ask great questions.

607
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,080
So much so that there is even a
part that you'll hear where I

608
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,440
get a little bit emotional, as a
matter of fact, a little bit

609
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,000
emotional talking about this
very community.

610
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,760
So if you want to hear Mark get
a little choked up as I talk in

611
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:50,080
the third person, go check out
episode 257.

612
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,920
That's the one with me joining
Yvonne.

613
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,720
I think you'll enjoy it.
And I think, yeah, it'll be nice

614
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,760
for you to get to know me a
little bit more.

615
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,920
So go check that out and let's
support a fellow community

616
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,400
member.
Was that before or after we won

617
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:10,320
the award for best educational?
Yes, that was before that was.

618
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,639
Yeah, that was you.
Should go on now you'd be a

619
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,080
blithering idiot.
That'd be great.

620
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,320
Yeah, I don't know, I think I'll
still get more emotional about

621
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,920
just talking about how wonderful
this community is, but yeah,

622
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:24,480
yeah.
So go check that out.

623
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,639
Thank you, Dr. All right, so BC
you wanted to say something

624
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:32,360
about this whole guest workflow
process, is that what we're

625
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:33,920
talking about right now?
Yes, we are.

626
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,040
Go ahead.
Yes, yes.

627
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,560
And I 100% agree with both of
you and Sid regarding we're the

628
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,480
podcasters.
We're the ones who chose to

629
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,440
enter this incredibly sometimes
complex world of storytelling

630
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,239
and digital content development.
That being said, and and this is

631
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,560
a hill I I will die on is that I
do still at the same time

632
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,760
believe that there is an
etiquette to being the guest to

633
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,400
that even we should feel
comfortable holding non

634
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,160
podcasting guests too.
The number of times I have, for

635
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,240
instance, doing in person
interviews have, you know,

636
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:11,520
planned well ahead.
I've taken care of all the

637
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,840
things, made sure I've
coordinated with the person,

638
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,920
made sure that the schedules
lined up and they got a

639
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,360
podcasting space just to sit
there in the booth an hour into

640
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,680
my, you know, reservation time.
Reached out to the guest who's

641
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,280
again, has known for at least a
couple weeks that we got this

642
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,480
on.
I've double checked they're good

643
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,800
to go.
They've told me they're good to

644
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,680
go.
And then I reached out to them

645
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,400
after being some way into, let's
say our time and they say, oh,

646
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:42,960
I'll be there in the next 45
minutes.

647
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,400
What do you mean?
This is been on the books for a

648
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,160
while, this and you know, studio
reservation time is money.

649
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,960
What do you mean you'll be here
in 45 minutes?

650
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,360
We're we're going to be done
here soon.

651
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,720
So yes, we should assume to take
on the creative lift as

652
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:00,120
podcasters.
That's our thing.

653
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,200
But there's still an etiquette
system that I think anyone who

654
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,040
wants to be on a show should be
prepared to meet.

655
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,000
And it's not a super high bar,
you know, it's just coordinate.

656
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,840
Make sure you still have the
time, get there on time and

657
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,560
engage as much as you can as the
guest to make sure that the

658
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,160
podcaster who's going to produce
this whole thing has something,

659
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,520
you know, actionable, has
something valuable to provide to

660
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,160
the audience that they're going
to try to expose you to as well.

661
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,720
Great point.
And I'm going to keep it moving.

662
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,800
So please forgive me for not
responding in more detail

663
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,560
because I do want to try to get
to some wins from the week as

664
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,200
well.
But we also, Dr. had a question.

665
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,680
So what we're going to do is
Dr., I'm just going to allow you

666
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,680
to ask the question and we'll
keep it to like one or two

667
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,320
responses so that we have a
little bit of time to share wins

668
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,480
from this past week.
This happens to be about the

669
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,880
same client that I was talking
about with the Riverside thing.

670
00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:03,520
She is on Lipson now Lipson in
the past six months or so has 1

671
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,960
by 1 eliminated or they walked
out on their own.

672
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,880
Some of their personnel that
some of us know personally and.

673
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:18,200
And long time personnel.
Long time personnel and high

674
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,840
profile personnel, you know, you
have to take a look at the

675
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,880
situation and say what is
happening.

676
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,840
I don't feel good about where
Lipson is going or where I

677
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,080
perceive it to be going and the
general public perceives it to

678
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,200
be going.
So I would love to change her to

679
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,680
probably captivate, but there's
consequences with that.

680
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:49,800
And I don't know how do I get
ahead of the situation?

681
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:54,560
Or do I just wait until we get
that dreaded e-mail saying that

682
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,320
we regret to inform you with
heavy heart we are closing our

683
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:00,800
doors?
You know what I'm saying?

684
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,720
I hear you.
Dave asks consequences and I

685
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:06,720
think what Dr. might be
referring to, and by the way,

686
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:09,440
Dave is in the chat.
That's why that's what I'm

687
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,080
calling out here.
He's questioning consequences

688
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,960
and one of those consequences
being that sometimes

689
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,240
transferring from one podcasting
host platform to another can be

690
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:21,800
challenging.
One of the things that often

691
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,400
happens that people can't stand
is you generally then lose all

692
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,600
your stats.
You're kind of starting over,

693
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,200
which you can absolutely go into
Libsyn right now and download

694
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,000
all of those stats so that you
have that history that you're

695
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,440
basically starting over, but you
still have that data.

696
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,400
So it's not like all is lost,
but a lot of people get annoyed

697
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,920
with that.
It's kind of interesting to me

698
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,040
that there are hurdles like
that.

699
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,840
Still to this day, it feels like
it should be a lot easier to

700
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,440
just go from one hosting
platform to the next, but that's

701
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,840
just not the case.
So I get the the hesitation that

702
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,600
you have Dr. Ultimately, at some
point, if Lipson, look, we have

703
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,240
no idea if Lipson's going to go.
Who knows, they could just be

704
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:10,360
doing a complete overhaul of
their business and starting over

705
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,040
and, you know, wanted something
fresh.

706
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,120
We, we have no idea what's going
on there, but a lot of people

707
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,240
are feeling the same as Dr. Like
it's a matter of time before

708
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:21,080
they go.
Again, all speculation.

709
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,160
So I want to just be clear about
that.

710
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,640
But if they were to go, then
you're going to be in that

711
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,520
situation and have to scramble
anyway.

712
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,560
It's really more of how much of
A gambling person are you?

713
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,320
Are you, do you want to just
roll the dice and wait and see?

714
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,840
Or I don't know, I think a lot
of people might just feel like

715
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,120
they want to just get ahead of
it and just do the switch now

716
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,600
where you have theoretically
much bigger window between now

717
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,400
and if and when Lipson goes
away.

718
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,160
Lipson, by the way, probably one
of the very first podcast

719
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,600
hosting platforms.
I was using them 20 years ago

720
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,160
when I started podcasting.
So I want to bring up something

721
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:07,040
that Matthew, who is not with us
today, he put in our producers

722
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,600
chat, one of our chats and he
said this is relevant.

723
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,880
For the past few months, Lipson
has been unable.

724
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:18,200
To correctly offer a three O 1
redirects for all customers,

725
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:23,000
meaning that it's hard to switch
away from the podcast host.

726
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,640
Pod News has learned that the
issue, which started in October

727
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,440
last year, is being fixed in
messages from support.

728
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,320
Lipson has been blaming the
other companies for this issue.

729
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,720
Now the behavior that that, a
company spokesperson tells Pod

730
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:44,680
News quote, UN quote doesn't
meet our bar for customer

731
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,760
support.
Interesting.

732
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:52,120
And that's just like one more
log on the fire as to why my

733
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,120
client and I should switch over.
Ralph, I see you commenting in

734
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,120
the chat.
I wanted to give you a minute to

735
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,120
share it here and then we're
going to move into wins from the

736
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,640
week, so go for it.
Yeah, I want to say two things.

737
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,000
Number one, from a business
perspective, I don't think

738
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,200
Libsyn just going to all of a
sudden one day say, oh, we're

739
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,080
not doing hosting anymore.
I think what would probably

740
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,960
happen is they're going to sell
that off or someone's going to

741
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,520
acquire it.
But bigger question than that.

742
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,600
And I actually was on Libsyn for
the longest time and I'm not

743
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,480
promoting Captivate, but I
switched to Captivate and it

744
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,280
really had to do with the
features.

745
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,360
So I think the better question
to ask is which hosting platform

746
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,600
best serves the needs of your
show.

747
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,600
I do 4 shows.
So for me Captivate was great

748
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,120
because you don't pay per show.
You put as many shows on there

749
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,480
as you want.
You pay per the number of

750
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,880
downloads and I'm nowhere near
there, 30,000 download per month

751
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,920
number.
But really ask yourself what are

752
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,400
the functionalities that you
need because that is really the

753
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,560
question you want to ask.
So, Dr. when you're looking at

754
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,200
your customers, look at the
functionality of some of the

755
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,160
other hosting platforms and see
what that serve their needs

756
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,400
better.
Yeah, great advice.

757
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,280
And I know I said last word, but
I did see a couple people want

758
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,560
to quickly chime in, including
Dominic, who's on stage.

759
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,800
Welcome back, Dominic.
What did you want to add?

760
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,080
I don't know if Lipson is going
away, maybe they will sell off

761
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,600
part of business.
Seem like it's just a

762
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,440
restructuring to me.
Like I put it in the comments.

763
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,560
Shout out to Elsie Escobar who
is no longer with the company

764
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,000
who was fantastic with Lipson
for a long time.

765
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,200
But if I were to switch.
I know a few of my friends have

766
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,760
mentioned rss.com as a platform
that you can probably land on.

767
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,920
And so I've been kind of looking
into that and I've also.

768
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,360
Heard great things.
About Captivate.

769
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,880
So that's all I want that you
haven't.

770
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,600
Yeah, thanks for bringing that
up, rss.com.

771
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,080
I've gotten to know Greg
Wasserman, who works with RSS.

772
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,960
Actually, he was the speaker
right before I spoke at Pod Fest

773
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,640
as well.
But yeah, they are a good

774
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,000
company.
They really care about

775
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,800
podcasters.
They they really make an effort

776
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,840
to serve podcasters and help
them not just as a platform, but

777
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,160
really as a resource to help
podcasters grow.

778
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,560
So yeah, I would, I would look
at something like rss.com as

779
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,560
well.
And Ashley, I'm giving you the

780
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,840
final word.
Go for it.

781
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,360
Thank you.
I would suggest waiting but

782
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,920
having a solid escape plan of
course.

783
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:18,320
It sounds like this is a little
bit of a mix of of political and

784
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,040
technical.
We're not 100% sure why these

785
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,840
folks are no longer with Lipson.
And you also mentioned the

786
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,280
redirect feature.
I would in that escape plan do

787
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,920
what Ralph suggested.
That sounds pretty solid.

788
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,520
But I would also sometimes the
porting doesn't go so Smith.

789
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,680
So I'd be really sure to have
everything backed up.

790
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,600
And that means, you know, the
recordings of the files, the

791
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,640
show notes, everything that has
to do with the show.

792
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:50,440
And even if there's a way, find
a way to put the stats on file

793
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,520
and so whether that's in a
spreadsheet screenshot,

794
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,680
something like that.
Thank you, Ashley and I got to

795
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,960
say, Ashley, thank you for all
the insight today.

796
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:04,720
It's nice to hear more of you
sharing here in the mornings.

797
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:08,560
Usually Ashley is behind the
scenes taking notes for the edit

798
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,720
for the podcast and busy doing
the behind the scenes stuff.

799
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:14,760
So good to have all your
contributions today, Ashley,

800
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,480
Thank you.
And thank you all for answering

801
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,000
all of these mailbag questions
this morning.

802
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,120
It's time for wins from the
week, so let's start

803
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:30,480
celebrating.
This is your time to shine.

804
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,560
Doesn't matter if you're
thinking your win is too small,

805
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,840
too big.
We want to hear what you're up

806
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,920
to and what you're celebrating
this week.

807
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,200
Every win deserves a moment to
celebrate.

808
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:48,640
And with that, we're going to
check in first actually with our

809
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,640
guest who's on the stage.
Let's go to Meg first.

810
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,200
Good morning, Meg.
Good morning, and I want to

811
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,840
consider this a big win because
I hired Tide, also known as

812
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:04,000
Nikki, for some work.
And she's done some ghostwriting

813
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,280
for me in the past and now she's
going to be helping me with some

814
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,360
other things, which I won't go
into the details, but it has to

815
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,520
do with podcasting.
And I'm just super excited about

816
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:18,000
it because I always say there's
a few, No, no disrespect to

817
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,000
anyone, but I always say there's
a few diamonds in the Ralph on

818
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,200
Clubhouse.
And I definitely think she's one

819
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,520
of them.
And I would highly recommend her

820
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,640
to anyone.
And I know, you know, sometimes

821
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:34,240
people really have to do your
due diligence when working with

822
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:37,200
some people on Clubhouse.
And I just feel like it's a huge

823
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,560
win for myself and my company.
Harmony with food.

824
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,760
That's awesome.
Congratulations.

825
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,120
And one more time.
What's her name?

826
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,240
Tide tutoring.
Nikki Fernandez.

827
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,880
Oh, that's awesome.
Well, that's cool.

828
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,040
That's a nice little win for
sure.

829
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,600
And I don't mean it figuratively
when I say little.

830
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,400
That's awesome.
Very cool that here are two

831
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,320
community members collaborating,
connecting and making things

832
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,440
happen.
Very cool.

833
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,720
Thank you for sharing that, Meg.
Appreciate it.

834
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,080
And I'm going to go to Janae.
Janae, good morning to you.

835
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,400
Please share a win from your
week.

836
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,800
I've been working on something
in the Pat in the back and I've,

837
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,480
I've been messaging you back and
forth.

838
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:20,040
So I got to showcase the app
just a little bit for like 2

839
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,280
minutes to Pat Flynn and I got
some good feedback.

840
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:28,400
So I'm working on some demo
videos for it to see, hey, this

841
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,120
is what it does.
This is a problem that is

842
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,880
solving.
I'm just so excited to like make

843
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:39,120
a one stop shop for what I was
looking for, for my own podcast.

844
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,320
Thanks.
Yeah.

845
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,640
And Janae, very quickly you want
to just give us like a one or

846
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,200
two sentence explanation of what
you're building.

847
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,720
I'm calling it the podcasters
operating system.

848
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:54,280
It helps manage your podcast
from episodes, guests, calendar,

849
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:58,120
e-mail marketing, you name it.
Anything that goes with your

850
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,280
podcast, the things that you
need to do with your podcast, it

851
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:06,200
goes inside of here.
So and it's really helping my

852
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,640
team to keep everything in place
because I would like, hey, I

853
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,280
have this spreadsheet.
Please keep a note of all the

854
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,640
things that we've already
published.

855
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,920
Keep a note of all the things
that are going out, you know,

856
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,600
inform the guests.
And we're using like 5 different

857
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,360
tools and it was becoming very,
very hard because we're all

858
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,880
working and so many different
paces.

859
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,920
So I built the tool to solve
those problems for me.

860
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:33,920
Awesome.
Congratulations Janae.

861
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,320
I know how excited you are, and
I appreciate you sharing this

862
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,840
with me along the way.
This wasn't the first time I've

863
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,640
heard about this clearly, and
I'm really excited for you.

864
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,880
So cool.
Janae and I geek out over Pat

865
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,320
Flynn every so often, so he
texted me yesterday.

866
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,040
Hey, guess what?
I just showed this to Pat Flynn.

867
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,080
I, I'm so excited for you,
Janae.

868
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,960
Congratulations.
And I'm going to keep it moving.

869
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,600
Billy, good morning.
Please share a win with us.

870
00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:04,240
One quick win was I called Sid
and he answered the phone.

871
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:05,400
Actually, that's more of a
miracle.

872
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:06,080
I guess.
Wow.

873
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,840
Yeah, clearly, yeah.
Sure, I always.

874
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,840
Answered the phone.
That is okay, I'm not gonna

875
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:18,400
argue on here, but that's a lie
anyway, a podcasting win.

876
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,120
So I've been on the guest side
of podcasting for the last year

877
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,200
and so I hit my goal of being on
the amount of podcasts I wanted

878
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,800
to last year and on pace to do
it again this year.

879
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,280
So that's kind of fun and
different.

880
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:32,640
The only other thing in business
are in content.

881
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,000
I'm trying to do strategy
January February as my business

882
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,880
is normally.
My business normally slows down

883
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,360
and so far I'm having a lot of
success and already doubled the

884
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,120
amount of deals I normally do.
So that's going to be a busy

885
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,480
year.
Awesome.

886
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,520
And Billy, we had recorded an
interview toward the end of last

887
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,480
year I believe, or maybe even
longer than that.

888
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,920
And it never came out because at
the time you ended up thinking

889
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,760
you were going to be shifting
gears, I think at some point.

890
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:02,320
So it started to become a little
outdated.

891
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,680
But I would love to do maybe a
one-on-one interview with you at

892
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,160
some point to get an update on
what you're doing and show

893
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,480
people different ways that they
can actually make money as

894
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,200
content creator.
So I'll reach out to you

895
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:21,240
privately to discuss that.
Brian is also on stage.

896
00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:22,800
Welcome back to the stage.
Brian.

897
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,440
Do you want to share a win with
us?

898
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:31,920
My win this week is that I am
getting back into going to in

899
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,960
person events for the first time
in about two months.

900
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,200
I had to step away from doing
them.

901
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,680
For those that don't know, my
father died last month and I had

902
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,880
to step away from doing events
while he was sick and then the

903
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,160
holidays came so there was
nothing there.

904
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,120
And then my mom had an episode
of being sick.

905
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:01,680
Now I'm back into the swing of
things and I'm happy to be doing

906
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,760
that.
So that's my win this week.

907
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,200
Thank you so much.
Brian, congratulations on

908
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,080
getting back up on the horse, as
they say.

909
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,840
And if you haven't noticed in
the chat, you're getting a lot

910
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:18,240
of love and we're all sending
you our love and condolences.

911
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,080
I personally can't even imagine
what that's like.

912
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,240
I'm fortunate enough that I
still have both my parents right

913
00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:27,400
now.
And I'm sure that was

914
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,320
challenging.
And we're thinking about you.

915
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,520
I've been following along as
you've been sharing a bit on

916
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,560
social media and thinking a lot
about you.

917
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,120
So thank you for coming here
today.

918
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,280
Congratulations for pushing
forward now and getting back

919
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,440
into some of the things I know
you love to do.

920
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,680
I know you love going to those
networking events.

921
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,240
So it's great to see you back at
it again.

922
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:48,960
And we're all thinking about
you, Brian.

923
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,920
Thank you for sharing and being
open and honest with us here on

924
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,240
stage this morning.
OK, I also want to hear from the

925
00:50:56,240 --> 00:50:58,560
moderators and we're short on
time, so here's what we're going

926
00:50:58,560 --> 00:50:59,560
to do.
We're going to do our little

927
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,400
rapid fire and I'm going to
actually go backwards.

928
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:07,800
So if you are on Clubhouse, pull
down your screen to refresh.

929
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,400
And let's start with Dominic,
who we haven't really gotten a

930
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,160
chance to talk too much over the
past.

931
00:51:13,240 --> 00:51:16,040
I don't know how it probably at
least few weeks since Dominic

932
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:17,880
has joined us, maybe a month or
two.

933
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,800
Dominic, good morning.
I have a feeling I know the

934
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,240
winds you would like to share
and looking forward to hearing

935
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:24,240
it.
So go for it.

936
00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:28,000
Floor is yours.
My wins for the week is that

937
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:33,200
Ambi nominations were announced
this week and we were fortunate

938
00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:37,040
to get 2 Emmy nominations, 1 for
Best DIY.

939
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,000
For black as.
America and the other one for

940
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,000
best Wellness and relationship
podcast for mental health

941
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,880
rewritten.
And with those nominations, I'm

942
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,880
still doing the research and my
person who does marketing for us

943
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,840
as doing the research.
I may have made ambi history In

944
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:57,040
doing that, I may have become
the first independent podcaster

945
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,440
with two different shows to get
Emmy nominations.

946
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,280
Especially with narrative shows.
We're looking to that to see

947
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,960
before I can make that claim.
But either way, it's a rare.

948
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,000
Feat.
It's extremely rare feat.

949
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,400
Congratulations, Dominic.
That is awesome.

950
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,680
No surprise, no surprise that
you were nominated, No surprise

951
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:22,320
that you at the very least have
a a rare situation, probably the

952
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:23,600
first.
And yeah, you'll have to come

953
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,600
back and let us know if that is
a first time thing.

954
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,000
Very cool.
Dominic always seems to be

955
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,120
making lots of noise in this
space.

956
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,600
And we're really proud of you,
Dominic.

957
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,760
And I know you're proud of
yourself as well.

958
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,120
And also check out some of
Dominic Lawson's social media

959
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,800
stuff because he's he's doing
way more than podcasting these

960
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,440
days.
So go check him out.

961
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,640
All right, I said this was rapid
fire, but I had to respond to

962
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,280
that.
That is awesome news, Dominic.

963
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,360
Thank you.
And Sid, I'm going to hand the

964
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,480
baton to you and we can just
pass it down the row and wrap up

965
00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:59,360
with me.
Go ahead.

966
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:02,080
So I have two wins.
First one is my marketing

967
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,760
coordinator started on Monday.
And she's already fantastic.

968
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,240
I already know that it was a
perfect decision, perfect

969
00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:12,320
person, and she's putting up
with all my shenanigans and my

970
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,280
craziness.
So I'm really, really grateful

971
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,840
for that.
The second one I thought about

972
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,440
last night is I was laying in
bed and you know, the last

973
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,600
couple, I mean, all you guys
know, building a business is

974
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,800
hard.
In the last couple of years

975
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:27,480
haven't been the easiest.
They haven't been the worst

976
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,720
either by any means.
But I just felt like this week,

977
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,480
my energy level and my
excitement level around what I'm

978
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:40,880
doing is back to how it felt
when I started my business in

979
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,640
2017.
And it just feels good.

980
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,680
It feels different and I wake up
more excited.

981
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,480
I have a lot more energy
throughout the day.

982
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,920
And it just, it feels good to be
back in this place again, doing

983
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,320
things that I love and really
leaning into this next chapter

984
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,240
of my life and doing the things
that bring me joy.

985
00:53:59,240 --> 00:54:01,320
So that's really a a big one for
me.

986
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,520
Dr. Are you ready?
Yesterday I had a little

987
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,240
one-on-one meeting from some of
the networking I've been doing,

988
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,920
and he had this beautiful
background in the back.

989
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,480
And I said, oh, the oh, that's
gorgeous, Where whereabouts are

990
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,040
you?
He said, well, I'm in the LA

991
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,480
hills.
And as he kept talking, he said

992
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,320
that he was from Northern
California.

993
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,800
And I said whereabouts.
And he said a small town called

994
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,720
San Mateo.
I said I'm from San Mateo.

995
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,840
He says, you're kidding.
I said, no, I went to Aragon

996
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,040
High School.
He says, I went to Aragon High

997
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,280
School.
So it's just such a small world.

998
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,600
Sometimes you just have to be
reminded when these little

999
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:40,120
things come up.
And you know, it was just such,

1000
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:44,200
so good to connect on that level
and BC Are you ready?

1001
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,000
Win for me is that I am just a
couple of weeks away from

1002
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,200
finishing my Masters of Science
program, so come February, your

1003
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,320
board will be a Master of
Science in Digital Marketing.

1004
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,160
So excited.
And then I have been going

1005
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,320
strong with my other show,
kicked off the week of

1006
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,200
Thanksgiving, have not missed a
single morning already at 32

1007
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,600
episodes, and I'm looking
forward to seeing where it goes.

1008
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,280
I got two big wins.
Big win number one was on

1009
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,360
Wednesday night.
I got to be live on the new

1010
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,160
media show with Rob Greenlee,
which was a huge achievement for

1011
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:13,840
me.
I got an hour and a half with

1012
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,320
him.
That was fantastic and even

1013
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,640
better than that yesterday I got
to do a recording for Jonathan's

1014
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,680
show which will be coming out
soon as well.

1015
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,480
So those are two big wins for
me.

1016
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,000
Go ahead, Ashley.
Was before Ashley goes Jonathan

1017
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,400
Howard's show.
Yes, Jonathan Howard.

1018
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,120
I recorded the show with him
yesterday.

1019
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,120
It's not quite the normal story
lab, so I'll just leave that out

1020
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:33,320
there.
It's going to be a good one

1021
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:34,400
though.
Awesome.

1022
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,040
OK, Thank you.
Go for it, Ashley.

1023
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,720
My Wins for the week is
recognizing that it has just

1024
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:41,960
been a fabulous week of
productions.

1025
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,760
Every day this week on PMC,
we've had great shows and I just

1026
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,720
feel so blessed to be able to
work on them.

1027
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,520
And also, right after I finish
PMC, every day I get in the car

1028
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,400
and I go work on another podcast
called My Happy Ass Life, where

1029
00:55:56,720 --> 00:56:00,400
I show up and I mic people up.
I move lights and mic stands

1030
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:04,480
around, fix people's hair, tell
them to take off noisy jewelry,

1031
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,080
and we've made some really good
shows this week.

1032
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,840
So my win is just, you know,
realizing what a blessing and

1033
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,960
privilege it is to do this for
my living.

1034
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,360
What a way to wrap up the wins.
Thank you, Ashley, appreciate

1035
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:17,960
that and thank you all for
sharing your wins.

1036
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,720
Congratulations to everybody.
For me, I will.

1037
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:23,840
I had a couple, but I'm just
going to go with one for now.

1038
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:29,400
My win is is that both BC and
Ralph have accepted my offer to

1039
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,960
join me on camera this coming
Wednesday for our News and

1040
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,640
comments segment.
I some of you may remember I put

1041
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:42,040
out the call that if anybody
wants to join me on camera in

1042
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,640
Riverside, they are more than
welcome.

1043
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:48,680
And both Ralph and BC jumped at
it and I figured, well that that

1044
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,920
makes perfect sense.
Let's have them on Wednesdays

1045
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,880
because they both now have their
own segments that we do in on

1046
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,920
Wednesdays for news and
comments.

1047
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:01,280
So will all three of us be on
camera live and then also

1048
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:05,440
available on YouTube later?
So that's a big win for me.

1049
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,920
It'll be nice to have some
company on the Riverside side.

1050
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,280
Thank you both for accepting
that invite and looking forward

1051
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:13,280
to that.
So stay tuned.

1052
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:17,160
Next week, programming note for
everybody Monday is going to be

1053
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,440
up in the air.
I will post in the Facebook

1054
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,560
group and on social media, but
Monday's up in the air because

1055
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:28,480
as many of you know, there is a
gigantic winter storm coming

1056
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,240
through and I haven't heard one
meteorologist say differently.

1057
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,760
They're all expecting pretty big
power outages due to a lot of

1058
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,840
ice, and that is especially true
here in the Western North

1059
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:47,920
Carolina area.
So I am hoping for the best, but

1060
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,640
we will see if we will even have
power on Monday.

1061
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,280
So that one is up in the air.
Normally we will be here every

1062
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:59,320
Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM
Eastern, live on Clubhouse and

1063
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,040
YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook,
etcetera, and of course

1064
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,320
available as a podcast just a
couple hours later.

1065
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:12,560
So until Monday, maybe make it a
great weekend.

1066
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:13,680
Everybody stay safe.
