Stop Believing These Myths About Podcasting

1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,760
Good morning podcasting morning
chat.

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:15,080
Today is Friday, Halloween, and
today we're spinning the wheel

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,880
of topics from what's working to
what's not, podcasting to

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,720
reviewing lessons that can we
shape how you grow and show up

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,320
as a player.
So if you're listening live on

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,120
Court House, hit the share
button, bottom left hand side of

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,759
the screen and share it.
However, Court House lets you.

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,800
And if you're listening to your
podcast, please share this with

9
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,680
the fellow podcaster.
And now give me about 30 seconds

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:01:22,480
and we'll get things rolling.
Good morning again, podcasting,

11
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,440
Morning Chat.
Thank you so much for being

12
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,800
here.
I am your host, Mark Ronick, and

13
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,600
currently on stage with me we
have producer Ashley Feller,

14
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Jonathan Howard, Nick Naulback,
Dr. Faye, Sid Meadows and Rich

15
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,200
Perry has joined us as well.
And happy Halloween to you.

16
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,000
It is that day.
And it really kind of snuck up

17
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,400
on me.
I mean, I knew all week

18
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,760
Halloween was coming, but when I
woke up this morning, I was just

19
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,720
going about my day.
You know, when you don't have

20
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,640
kids around the house anymore,
it's a holiday you often forget.

21
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,640
And I'm traveling today.
I'm going to be heading to

22
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,080
Indiana University to spend some
time with my stepson for the

23
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,760
weekend.
And yeah, so I just, Halloween

24
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,360
wasn't on my radar, but here we
are.

25
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,440
And I figured let's let's have a
little fun on this Friday before

26
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,400
we spin that wheel of topics.
And it's been a minute since

27
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,720
we've done the wheel of topics.
This is what we do.

28
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,520
It's a virtual wheel.
Think Wheel of Fortune that we

29
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,280
spin it lands on a wedge and
that wedge has a question, a

30
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,880
topic that will present either
to an individual here on stage

31
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,320
or maybe just for the whole
group to answer together.

32
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:39,840
DRI, See, you're off.
Mike, did you want to say

33
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,640
anything?
Good morning.

34
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,120
I'm sorry, you were talking
about if you don't have kids,

35
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,640
then you're kind of
discombobulated with when

36
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,720
holidays come up.
But you know, it's like

37
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,800
everything.
I don't know when school starts

38
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,800
anymore.
I don't know when school ends

39
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,760
anymore.
I don't know any of those

40
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,440
things.
Yeah, I hear you.

41
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,800
And I actually only know about
schools because lately I've been

42
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,200
researching Charlotte and the
school when schools get in

43
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,920
because we're trying to pick our
date for Empowered Podcasting 3.

44
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,520
I'm trying to make sure we do it
where it's not happening right

45
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,480
around school time to to not be
an inconvenience to people.

46
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:22,480
Yeah.
So here we are.

47
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,400
Let's talk a little Halloween,
shall we?

48
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Now, I think I've revealed in
the past I haven't always been a

49
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,600
big fan as an adult of
Halloween.

50
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,720
I think it's because as a kid I
always had super high

51
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,080
expectations about my costumes
and it was rare for me to ever

52
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,800
get the costume that I really
wanted.

53
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,120
Usually because it would just
cost a fortune and my parents

54
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,520
would be like, no, sorry, not
spending that kind of money on a

55
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,800
outfit you'll wear once.
So I am curious though, I think

56
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,400
as an adult I'm coming around to
it.

57
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Although I really, I think the
last time I dressed up for

58
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:04,560
Halloween was probably 7-8 years
ago when I was TV producer at my

59
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,760
TV producing job and I was Doc
Brown from Back to the Future.

60
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,800
But my question to everybody, my
little ice breaker for you.

61
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,480
Oh, and yes, one year Dr. just
said no lightsabers for you,

62
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,000
young man.
I was Darth Vader also, I think

63
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,320
one year at that same job.
So my question to you is, what's

64
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,880
your favorite Halloween,
Halloween costume that you've

65
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,000
worn ever in your life, whether
you were a kid, whether you're

66
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,320
an adult, whenever it was your
favorite costume.

67
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,400
One of mine as a kid was one
that my dad actually made for me

68
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,360
and my brother.
No.

69
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,440
Yeah.
I think for both of us, we were

70
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,000
Ghostbusters, and he made the
entire outfit other than the

71
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,360
clothing.
I think we just found some

72
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,120
clothing that matched the
uniform of a Ghostbuster, but we

73
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,160
decorated it appropriately.
He made this whole Proton pack

74
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,840
out of cardboard boxes.
He bought some tubing for the,

75
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:07,320
what do you call it, the shooter
attached to the proton packs.

76
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,280
I was very proud of it.
So I'm curious, tell me a

77
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:15,400
favorite costume or maybe it's
just one you've seen recently

78
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,760
that you thought was very
clever.

79
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Go ahead, Nick.
Mine was actually Ghostbusters

80
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,560
as well and I put it in this in
the chat, but my dad also made

81
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,400
my costume.
I think he had put like the

82
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,880
little name tag, whatever, but
no lock on the name tag that I

83
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,000
just thought that was.
Me too, and cool to know that

84
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,640
that Ghostbusters spreads across
many generations because I know

85
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,040
I am, I'll say, significantly
older than Nick.

86
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520
I don't know enough where we're
two different generations.

87
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,840
Go ahead, DRI.
Don't know if I can remember an

88
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:53,760
outfit that I wore.
I've done everything from a

89
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,960
witch to a fairy to a butterfly
to a gypsy or anything.

90
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,720
Anything that I could put makeup
on, I was in.

91
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,640
But my mom was a professional.
She was an entertainer.

92
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,000
She was a piano player, singer
and a comedian.

93
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,920
And there was always a large
group that would follow her from

94
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:19,440
club to club, from job to job,
and she would have these come as

95
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,520
your favorite song parties.
So there.

96
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,720
And these are all adults.
They're all drinking.

97
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:32,240
And one year my uncle came with
a hard hat and a slicker like a

98
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:40,160
fireman, but he sewed on to the
fly of his pants some flames.

99
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,160
He took some construction and,
and he drew some flames.

100
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,440
And it was, you know, great
balls of fire.

101
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:52,520
So little things like that, and
the game was that you had to

102
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,840
guess the song and there was
prizes and things like that.

103
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:00,280
So that's my fondest Halloween
memory is My Mom's come as your

104
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,000
favorite song parties.
I love that great balls of fire.

105
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,920
I like those creative costumes.
I just saw a video, I think on

106
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,640
Instagram and it was, I don't
know who, but some random person

107
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,160
was going around interviewing
these people that live in a

108
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,200
senior citizen's home and they
were celebrating Halloween and

109
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,560
all wearing creative costumes.
Similarly to that.

110
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,480
For example, there was 1
gentleman with a bunch of coins

111
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,360
taped all over his chest and he
was a treasure chest.

112
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,960
So there are things like that
going on that I thought was very

113
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,920
clever.
Yeah, I like that, that type of

114
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,760
costume.
Let's check in with Ralph.

115
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,960
I saw Ralph come off mic for a
second.

116
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,400
Ralph, good morning to you.
You got a Halloween costume

117
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,160
favorite for us?
I do.

118
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Good morning.
How are you, my friend?

119
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,200
I'm, well, I'm having, I'm
having flashbacks to that

120
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,400
ridiculous vinyl costume we used
to get in the box with the

121
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,720
plastic mask.
Yeah.

122
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,040
That's the only thing I can
remember at this point.

123
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,320
I just came across a picture in
my Photo Memories app of me and

124
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,400
my brother when we were kids
wearing those, those masks that

125
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,240
you slide over your face with
the little elastic cord in the

126
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,000
back of it.
And I think it would.

127
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,600
Yeah, it was Smurfs.
And again, another mostly

128
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,720
handmade costume.
The mask itself was one of those

129
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,000
that you buy.
But then the rest of the outfit

130
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,560
my mom had us in, like long blue
sleeve, blue, blue long sleeve

131
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,840
turtleneck shirts, white pants
and white shoes.

132
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,880
I think we were probably proud
of it, but I think in the back

133
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,080
of my mind, I'm like, this is
really kind of a lame costume.

134
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,640
But she made it work.
We made it work.

135
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,400
We got candy.
That's all that mattered.

136
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,800
As I have become older, shut up
everyone.

137
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,480
I have come to not like this
particular holiday.

138
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,320
I live in an area that's from
year to year.

139
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,440
I never know how many kids are
in this area that I live in.

140
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,080
And we have in the past we have
bought, you know, 30, forty,

141
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,360
$50.00 worth of candy and not a
single knock at the door.

142
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,600
In the past couple years, we
have not bought a single piece

143
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,320
of candy.
And I'm always so scared that

144
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,800
there's going to be a knock at
that door with one tiny little

145
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,960
kid.
And I'm like, Oh my God, let's

146
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,040
just, can we get out the bread?
Let's maybe give him a slice of

147
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,040
bread.
I don't know what else I could

148
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,160
do.
So I'm not really fond of this

149
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,520
because there's some years that
I just hide in my office and

150
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,480
just work throughout the whole
thing and I ignore any kind of

151
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,520
knocks on the door.
It's a weird holiday for me.

152
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,760
I hear you.
We definitely, I think I've

153
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,080
shared this before, we have, we
don't really do the candy giving

154
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,960
any more more.
And I don't think it matters

155
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,960
because I think where we live
right now, we're a little too

156
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,720
isolated to expect to have trick
or treaters.

157
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,160
Of course, we won't be here
either this year.

158
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,600
But yeah, I think the last
several years we haven't really

159
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,720
done a lot of trick or treating
things.

160
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,400
I'm going to go to Jonathan.
I saw he flashed his red pepper

161
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,640
and I also saw Jonathan in the
chat that Pam, that's Amanda,

162
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,200
yo, as Pam, if you follow her on
social media, you know who we're

163
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,560
talking about has also joined
over on chatter.

164
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,480
We yes, we are live on chatter
today.

165
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,600
Jonathan, good morning.
Good morning.

166
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,360
Good morning.
Yes, Pam is here.

167
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:30,600
Maybe Pamela say hi in a second.
But I also wanted to share that

168
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,840
I am very jealous of you people
that don't have trick or

169
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:39,640
treaters because my street is AU
and it's just in the city.

170
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,880
And yeah, hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds.

171
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,200
I spent $200 on candy this this
year and I will probably

172
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,280
probably be out of it halfway
through.

173
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,040
Trick or treaters 15 bags.
Don't you think in the past

174
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,040
several years that Halloween has
become really more of a holiday

175
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,120
for adults than kids?
I think.

176
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,120
Something I don't know.
Because people are so, you know,

177
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,920
they have church thing.
What is it Trigger trunk or

178
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,880
something like that.
All the church groups will

179
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,680
organize something in their
church and they'll go from

180
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,120
little, you know, booth to
booth.

181
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,120
But this has really become a
super big thing for adults.

182
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,720
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.

183
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,760
I mean, I know several parties
that I can't go to because I'm

184
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,400
going to visit my stepson.
But yeah, go ahead, Jonathan.

185
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,840
Nope, Pam has her hand up.
So I'm going to I'm going to let

186
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,720
Pam talk.
Hello Pam, welcome to the

187
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,600
podcasting morning chat.
I think it's your first time

188
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,400
ever here.
Oh my God.

189
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,800
Good morning, Mark.
Good morning, everybody.

190
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,320
How's everyone doing?
Happy Halloween trick or treat.

191
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,320
I can even hear the cigarette in
your mouth.

192
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,840
Yes, that's correct.
I have to have my morning cig as

193
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,080
far as candy's concerned.
What I do, Mark, is it's a

194
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,920
strategy which I call.
I have one bucket for kids that

195
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,960
I know and then I got another
bucket for kids that I don't

196
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,800
know.
And that consists of all the

197
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,440
things that we normally don't
like, such as, you know, candy

198
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,800
corn, black licorice, you know,
things like that.

199
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,120
Cause some of these kids around
here and they don't deserve it.

200
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,880
You know what I'm saying, Mark?
Yes, they don't deserve it.

201
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,760
That's what I do on, on
Halloween.

202
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,240
But happy Halloween, everybody.
To you, yeah, I saw you did a

203
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,520
video about that recently.
It was somebody was recording

204
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,080
you, I guess, giving out candy.
And I, yeah, I could tell that

205
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,480
some of the kids were driving me
a little crazy in that video.

206
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,640
And Pam, it's really cool that,
you know, I saw recently you did

207
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,440
the local late night show and
now you're doing the Internet

208
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,240
morning show.
You're really making your

209
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,840
rounds.
Yeah, you know what?

210
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,360
I was on that there at Fox 29
News with Mike Jerrick.

211
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,680
You know, he did ask me if I was
married.

212
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:53,480
So, you know, I think I think
he's got the hots for me.

213
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,120
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not trying to spread any

214
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,800
rumors, but I'm just saying, you
know, but that was a fun

215
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,600
experience.
It was really fun.

216
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,800
I brought on my potato salad
and, and what else did I bring

217
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,520
them?
They'll put his socks # cake.

218
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,120
If you're from the neighborhood,
you know, it's, it's, it's the

219
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,520
bakery of the neighborhood.
So he really enjoyed having me

220
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,120
on and it was a good time.
Very cool.

221
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,400
Well, we're glad you're here,
Pam, and maybe one day you'll

222
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,000
start a podcast.
We're here for you if you ever

223
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,800
need any help with that.
And good to have you here.

224
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,480
Happy Halloween and feel free to
hang out this morning.

225
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Hey, Rich, good morning.
And that.

226
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,640
Oh, and Ashley's been waiting as
well.

227
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840
Let me go to Ashley because I
know she's flashed her hot

228
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,760
pepper a few times.
And if you're wondering why I

229
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,400
keep saying that, that's how we
get each other's attention here

230
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,760
on Clubhouse.
Good morning, Ashley.

231
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,680
Happy Halloween.
Good morning.

232
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:44,640
Happy Halloween.
I wanted to say to Dr. If you're

233
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,440
scared about the candy thing, I
saw a news story where they give

234
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,680
out potatoes is kind of a joke
for the kids, so that might be

235
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,000
an alternative.
I've got my sack of potatoes

236
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,760
because I don't have any candy
either, But I remember a costume

237
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,680
my mom made me when I was a kid.
I was a bag of Red Hots.

238
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:08,320
I was wearing a red sweater and
red pants, and she took red

239
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,680
balloons and she blew them up
and she put a garbage bag, a

240
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:16,520
clear one, around me and filled
it with the red balloons and

241
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,280
made a sign that said Red Hots.
That was my favorite costume.

242
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,040
But I remember trying to ride in
the car with balloons.

243
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Oh my gosh, it was fun.
That's cute.

244
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,720
Have you ever been really super
scared that you remember it?

245
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Like even now, even many, many,
many years later, do you

246
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,240
remember being super scared on a
Halloween run?

247
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,360
For me, it was knocking on
someone's door.

248
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,040
It was it was wide open, but
there was a screen door there.

249
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,920
And inside there was a man who
was in a wheelchair and he had a

250
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,120
blanket over his knees.
And as we knocked on the door,

251
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,600
he leaned forward towards us and
fell out of his wheelchair and

252
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,600
kept crawling towards us.
Oh, my God.

253
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,840
And kept like, reaching.
I remember I was six years old.

254
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,280
And I remember that, you know,
60 years later, that's how

255
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,800
scared I was.
Dr. You just revealed your age.

256
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,320
That is terrifying.
As a kid, I would be completely

257
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,640
freaked out by that.
I don't have anything quite like

258
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,840
that.
I I just remember there was a

259
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,160
house that people used to talk
about that you really should

260
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,280
avoid at all costs.
And it was probably just a bunch

261
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,680
of BS, but I believed it.
And I was terrified to ever go

262
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,120
up to that house.
I don't think I ever did in my

263
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,080
history growing up in that
neighborhood.

264
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,720
All right, let's go one more.
Let's go to Rich.

265
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,960
Rich, Good morning.
You have a favorite costume.

266
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,600
I will preface it by saying
Halloween just isn't my hollow

267
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,440
isn't just isn't my my holiday.
So I don't really get too

268
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,840
excited about it.
But the one year a couple years

269
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,920
ago, this was about over 10
years ago, I went as a Jedi

270
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,760
knight and my then girlfriend,
we did like one of those

271
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,920
partners thing.
She went as Natalie Portman's

272
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,000
character from from attack of
the attack of the clones.

273
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,240
So she was Queen Amidala in the
in the white outfit when they

274
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,600
were like held prisoner on what
was the planet?

275
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,760
You know what I'm talking about.
Which it was at the end.

276
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,880
It was at the end.
Yeah.

277
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,760
Yeah.
During the big battle scene.

278
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,040
I know.
Yeah.

279
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,480
It was kind of Princess Leia
esque.

280
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,000
Correct that.
Yeah.

281
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,040
But it was a little sexier than
Princess Leia's white outfit.

282
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,360
Very much so, yeah.
Yeah.

283
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,920
And then real quick in my town I
don't know if they do trick or

284
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,320
treating anymore.
I know they do like what Dr. was

285
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,240
saying, the trunk or treat, like
that's pretty big around my

286
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,600
area.
The trunk or treat.

287
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,720
Yeah, especially for like the
younger kids just to keep them

288
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,720
safe and all that stuff.
So that's in my area.

289
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,680
Yeah.
I mean, I do see more and more

290
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,920
of that.
You see that malls, at least the

291
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,400
ones that are still around and
other areas, shopping areas, you

292
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,680
see that kind of stuff too.
Yeah, absolutely.

293
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,680
And Tim in the chat says they
keep their Halloween decorations

294
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,839
up all year.
I mean, you hear about some

295
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,240
people saying this for like
Christmas time.

296
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,079
There are people that put up
decorations and leave them up

297
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,680
way too long or maybe just leave
them up all year.

298
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,560
He said that they have a zombie
Flamingo at the front door.

299
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,160
I love that.
Oh, and Nick says same with him.

300
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,160
It's less Halloween decorations
and more just decorations.

301
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,440
Yes, Nick and his wife are big
Halloween people, so that

302
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,760
doesn't surprise me.
OK, looking at the clock here,

303
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,280
we will spin the wheel.
Only because I said we were

304
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,080
going to spin the wheel of
topics this week.

305
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,840
But I was feeling like, you know
what, we've spent a good amount

306
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,000
of time having some fun, which
you know what, we don't have

307
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,920
enough of.
So I don't mind that once in a

308
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,240
blue moon, we go off script and
don't talk a ton of podcasting.

309
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,960
So that's OK with me.
But I do want to spin this wheel

310
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,720
and the way that this works
again, I shared already, so I

311
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,160
guess I don't have to go too
far, but I will spin this

312
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,640
virtual wheel.
We use it.

313
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,760
We use picker wheel.com.
You can use it for free.

314
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,320
You don't have to pay for it and
you can create your own.

315
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,600
If you ever want to do something
like this, whether it's for your

316
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,520
show or for a party or whatever,
this works really well.

317
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,080
I also use this sometimes to
pick winners.

318
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,880
If you guys remember, it's been
a long time.

319
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,080
I need to maybe do some prizes,
some giveaway things again.

320
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:33,880
But sometimes I use this when we
do some kind of random drawing.

321
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,480
I put everyone's names on the
wheel and spin it and whoever it

322
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,560
lands on, that's the winner.
But today we have a bunch of

323
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,040
random podcasting topics,
questions, topics for podcasters

324
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,760
like you to get your answers and
hopefully offer some insight to

325
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,720
others who might be questioning
the same thing.

326
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:59,600
So let me spin the wheel, see
what the first one.

327
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,640
I will open this to the room.
What's a podcasting habit that

328
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,440
you're proud of or one that you
want to improve?

329
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,120
And I'll tell you what, I'll go
first to help you think about

330
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,800
your answer.
A podcasting habit for me, I

331
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,320
think that I'm really proud of.
I think it's my consistency.

332
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:26,160
I think it's the fact that I
make a five day a week podcast

333
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,880
go round.
Of course, I do that with your

334
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,680
help, with the people you see
here on stage, with you in the

335
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,360
audience, You all help me do
that.

336
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:39,680
But I think it's my consistency
that really that I'm really

337
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,560
proud of.
And yes, I know, granted, I've

338
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:47,680
had some mishaps along the way
lately with my insomnia issues,

339
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:51,200
but overall it's I'm really
proud of the fact that we do a

340
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,960
show for podcasters and content
creators five days a week.

341
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,520
It shows a commitment to
community.

342
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,560
And I'm really proud of that.
I'll think about one that I'm

343
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,080
not that I'm still working on,
one that I want to improve.

344
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,000
I think it's probably if
anything.

345
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,360
It's monetizing this podcast,
which I've talked about even

346
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:15,480
recently, but it's not a habit I
practice.

347
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,680
I don't, I haven't gotten out or
I should say I haven't gotten

348
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,520
into the mindset of really
wanting to monetize the show.

349
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,200
And I think it's time.
I think I need to do that.

350
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,360
Aside from the fact that yes, it
does bring me some business here

351
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:33,360
and there and that is a way to
monetize, but I think I need, I

352
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:36,560
want to monetize the show in
other ways as well.

353
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,160
I think there are opportunities
there.

354
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,360
Who else would like to share?
I'll share, yeah.

355
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:44,600
And by the way, Pam is really
excited that there's a wheel for

356
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,920
gambling.
But I will share that I'm proud

357
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,880
of the fact that I can record as
many episodes in advance as I

358
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,880
do.
It makes my life a lot easier.

359
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,240
And the one that I need help on,
the one that I need to do much

360
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,000
better, is show notes.
My show notes are terrible,

361
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,440
terrible.
So.

362
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,600
And I forgot to put a link in
the other day.

363
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,520
What do you do for your show
notes right now?

364
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,080
Nothing really.
I take what Buzz Sprout gives

365
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,960
me, I take out the things that
sound really weird, and I leave

366
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,360
it.
I see.

367
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,440
OK.
So I need to be better.

368
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,800
Do you have an idea of one thing
you'd want to do differently

369
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,200
with the show notes?
Besides, you know, maybe not

370
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,480
using Buzz Sprout if that's not
working for you.

371
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,560
Yeah, just at least write them
myself and come up with, you

372
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,000
know, the topics I want and then
have AI optimize it and make

373
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,880
sure I put the links in there
and stuff like that.

374
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,800
OK, because I missed that too.
Yeah, I think show notes in

375
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,480
different ways would will
probably come up for other

376
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,600
podcasters as well wanting to
improve that or maybe just

377
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,520
wanting to feel differently
about show notes.

378
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,160
It does seem relatively common
that show notes are a thorn in

379
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,360
our sides as podcasters.
Yvonne's on stage.

380
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:55,160
Good morning, Yvonne.
I want to go to you next.

381
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,760
I saw you flash your mic.
What say you?

382
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,720
What's a habit podcasting habit
you're really proud of?

383
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:07,320
I'm really proud of the research
that I do that brings me awesome

384
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,640
guests.
I have somebody I'm interviewing

385
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:15,360
today who's been on my guest
wish list for quite some time.

386
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,400
I got her book.
It finally came in the mail

387
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,280
yesterday, and I've been up for
a couple of hours already this

388
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,400
morning and prepping for the
interview with her.

389
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:32,400
I actually went to New York to
an event just to meet her and

390
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,880
that's what I had like a 2030
minute conversation with her at

391
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,480
the event that was amazing and
I'm so excited to talk to her

392
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,680
today.
Oh, so there you go, there's my

393
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,080
win for the week.
Congratulations.

394
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,360
And yeah, that's that's really
cool.

395
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:51,120
I like that.
Do you have any habit or thing

396
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,440
in podcasting that you really
think needs improvement?

397
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,080
I think a number of things,
gosh, when you said you know the

398
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,640
monetizing thing, that is
something that I am working on,

399
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,160
you know how to monetize in a
way that feels on point for me.

400
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,160
I think that is that is an area
where I need improvement and I'm

401
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,520
working on that.
It's coming along OK.

402
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,360
All right, that's fair.
Yeah.

403
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:22,080
And Yvonne, I know I owe you a
scheduled session.

404
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,040
I know you said you invited me
to your podcast to be a guest

405
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,920
and I know I haven't done that
yet, so that is on my list of

406
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,760
things to do.
Get on it, man, Get on it.

407
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,880
I will.
I was thinking by the way of

408
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,200
another angle for us, if we
wanted to explore it is improv.

409
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,640
You know, I think yes, yeah,
that's.

410
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,000
Some I.
Feel like.

411
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,080
Fits well, yeah.
Cool, Yeah.

412
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,800
Cool.
So we'll we'll talk a little bit

413
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,440
about that too.
All right.

414
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,280
I saw Sid had something.
Good morning to you, Sid.

415
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,040
What's a habit in podcasting
that you're proud of?

416
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,840
Good morning, everybody.
I'm going to actually say

417
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,320
organization.
We are extremely organized with

418
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,560
the way that we use the Click Up
app, with the way that we use

419
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,840
our Google folder and we're just
family organizing.

420
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,920
It makes everything really easy
to make sure that the next step

421
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,400
in the process is getting done.
And then I don't have to worry

422
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,040
about the timelines because
they're all there and

423
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,160
everything's done when it's
needs to be done and we can send

424
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,240
it over to our guests for them
to listen to.

425
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,680
So organization for me.
Sid, is that something that,

426
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,600
what took time for you to
develop that organizational

427
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,720
structure or was that something
that you just you like to stay

428
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,320
on top of right away?
Do you know what I'm?

429
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,680
Do you know what I'm getting at?
It was a journey to get to where

430
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,560
we are today for sure.
Just like understanding what we

431
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,400
needed to do and writing out all
the steps and then learning the

432
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,040
software and how to use the
software and create a checklist

433
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,440
was a pain in my butt and took
me forever to figure out how to

434
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,360
add the checklist to the app.
I mean, so, but yeah, it was a

435
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,040
journey.
But once we got there, we got

436
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,680
everything, you know, organized
and mapped out the way we wanted

437
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,160
to do it and we started using
it.

438
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,480
Then it just became this amazing
tool to help keep us on track.

439
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,400
Very cool.
Thank you for expanding on that,

440
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,520
Sid.
By the way, gang, those of you

441
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,160
listening live, I recognize that
you can't hear the sound.

442
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,480
Thank you, Nick, for sharing
that, me sharing that with me.

443
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,600
Our podcast audience will hear
it and I'm not sure why.

444
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,480
I actually was streaming live
this morning and I stopped the

445
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,600
stream because I noticed you all
weren't being heard on YouTube

446
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,280
and Facebook.
I'm not sure why my settings all

447
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,440
of a sudden aren't playing
what's coming from my computer.

448
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,360
So I'll have to figure that out
at some point.

449
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,320
So bear with me and just pretend
that you're hearing a wheel

450
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,200
spinning and you're hearing the
fancy music when it lands on one

451
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,080
of the wedges.
I promise you our podcast

452
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,840
audience hears it.
Did anyone else want to answer

453
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,280
something they're proud of
regarding their podcasting?

454
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,040
Go ahead, Ralph.
I'm proud of doing a Daily Show,

455
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,760
and bigger than that, though,
I'm proud that I always keep my

456
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,880
episodes at no more than 10
minutes to honor my listeners.

457
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,320
Very cool.
I like that.

458
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,160
And I how did you figure that
out?

459
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,760
How did you figure out that 10
minutes was the sweet spot?

460
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,440
I have a talent coach that I
work with that has been 40 years

461
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,720
in radio, Christian radio
specifically, and we kind of

462
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,440
arrived at that just based on
what most people's limited

463
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,680
amount of time that they can
handle something.

464
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,560
I talk about a typical a
financial topic each time.

465
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,800
So I don't want to burden them
with a list of 10 different

466
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,240
things.
My goal is to give them one pain

467
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,240
.1 solution, say a prayer and
let them move on with their day.

468
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,240
So that's my whole focus of that
particular show.

469
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,360
I, I do 4 shows, so this is my
Daily Show, but that's the one I

470
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:46,600
really try to hem down to just
10 minutes.

471
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,120
I figure people can grab it when
they have time, and I just

472
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,120
really make that honor, that
commitment to them.

473
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,240
I love that.
Thank you, Ralph.

474
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,680
Yeah, And I mean that you do
have to consider that when

475
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,720
you're doing multiple shows like
that.

476
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,960
I'm sure Dave Campbell in the
audience can relate.

477
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,400
I know he has like 3000 shows
all going at the same time.

478
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,440
That's an important thing too,
is thinking about what's what's

479
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,520
enough that we can handle.
I know we talk a lot about our

480
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,040
audience, but I think it's also
important to think about what's

481
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,440
going to work well for us too.
And I really believe we're going

482
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,320
to see over the next year or two
years, we're going to see more

483
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,480
of those, I'll call them bite
sized episodes, those shorter

484
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,040
1015 minute episodes.
I think that's going to be more

485
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,840
and more popular in the near
future.

486
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,120
OK, I'm going to spin the wheel
again.

487
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:47,960
All right.
Now, this one is actually a

488
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,880
question that Doctor submitted
and added to the wheel this

489
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,720
morning.
Which podcast inspired you to

490
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,360
start one of your own?
I think a lot of us, and I think

491
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:01,720
a while back we may have talked
about this, but it's been a

492
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,760
minute.
A lot of us started a podcast

493
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,720
because we would listen to other
podcasts and sometimes there is

494
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,960
one in particular that really
just pushed us over the edge.

495
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,640
And we said, yeah, we want to do
something like that.

496
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,800
So what say you?
What's the podcast that Maybe

497
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,280
it's not the only one, but
what's a podcast that inspired

498
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,800
you to get started?
I was not listening to a lot of

499
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,960
podcasts because of social
audio.

500
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,720
I would say the podcasting,
Morning Chat, Podcasting Morning

501
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,800
Chat and Coffee Social is the
ones that actually made me start

502
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,760
my own podcast 'cause I was, you
know, I was here doing this

503
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,160
stuff with Coffee Social.
It was great.

504
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,400
I loved it.
But yeah, doing my own was a

505
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,520
scary jump.
So I made that scary jump and

506
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,200
thanks to you guys here because
I knew I would not be able to

507
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,200
fall too far and coffee social,
very cool.

508
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,040
But now I'm actually doing a
whole lot more listening to

509
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,360
podcasts because I'm doing that
whole series of stuff.

510
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,560
Yeah, it's, you know, what I was
thinking about that just the

511
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,560
other day, that one of the
things I'm appreciating about

512
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,800
doing these evaluation episodes
is that it's actually forcing me

513
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,320
to listen to other podcasts
besides my clients.

514
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,680
I think a lot of podcast
producers, those of you in the

515
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,920
room and elsewhere, I think you
can relate to that.

516
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,440
I think a lot of us get so tied
up and listening to our own

517
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,720
clients stuff that we then run
out of time to listen to new

518
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,680
stuff.
I've been appreciating that.

519
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,920
Go ahead, Ashley.
I've shared this before, but

520
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,920
that would be S Town, which is a
NPR production.

521
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,560
I believe the guy's name is
Brian Johnson.

522
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,200
It's a narrative podcast.
And while I've had a couple of

523
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,080
narrative experiments on my
podcast, I wouldn't call it that

524
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,200
now, but just the sheer
storytelling, you go in thinking

525
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,000
that it's true crime, it turns
out to be something completely

526
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,640
different.
It's brilliant.

527
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,200
It was the only thing I had to
listen to while recovering from

528
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,680
Hurricane Michael and.
That's what got me started.

529
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,160
Very cool.
Thank you Ashley.

530
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,840
And I see here in the chat, Tim
said that there were two

531
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:17,280
podcasts that he listened to
back in 20 O 6/1 was a poetry

532
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,600
podcast that published his work
and the other was a coffee

533
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,840
barista podcast from Canada.
Both of them have since pod

534
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,000
faded.
It's been almost 20 years since

535
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,440
since then, so I don't blame
them.

536
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,240
I'm not doing the same podcasts
I was doing 20 years ago.

537
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,520
And that was that fantasy
football podcast that I did.

538
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,040
And I think the one that
inspired me to start that

539
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,080
podcast was actually something
that is still around to this

540
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,720
day, 20 years later.
Football guys, if you go to

541
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,080
football that got sorry
footballguys.com, they are a

542
00:30:55,080 --> 00:31:00,720
fantasy football advice website
and they were podcasting from

543
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,960
the get go and when I heard them
doing it after a little while, I

544
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,000
said I could do that too.
So that was my inspiration.

545
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,680
I'm going to spin the wheel once
more and then we're going to go

546
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,640
to wins from the week.
I want to leave us a little bit

547
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:18,080
of time to share some wins today
because we missed it last

548
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,440
Friday.
And in general, I was saying to

549
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Dr. this morning, I feel like
we've just been breezing through

550
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,320
when we share wins on Fridays
and I'd like to give us a little

551
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,160
more time to do that.
So I am spinning the wheel.

552
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:38,000
For those of you that can't
hear, here's the last one.

553
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:44,560
What's a big myth in podcasting
that you don't agree with?

554
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,360
It's over saturated.
Yeah, that's a big one because

555
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,760
again, I know I've maybe said
this before too, but yet for

556
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,880
some reason, a lot of people are
quick to start a social media

557
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,560
account, yet there are 10s of
thousands, maybe hundreds of

558
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,320
thousands more of those than
podcasts.

559
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,720
But I do feel like more people
are resistant to starting a

560
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,520
podcast.
And I think maybe also that has

561
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,480
to do with, and this is my maybe
one of my myths is that it goes

562
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,680
back to something that Ralph was
talking about.

563
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,160
People think it has to be a
certain length.

564
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,880
Well, I can't commit to doing a
podcast because it's going to

565
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,880
take it's, I got to spend at
least an hour recording it.

566
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,720
But that's just not true.
You can do 10 minute podcasts if

567
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,520
you want to, just like Ralph
said, pick one thing, talk about

568
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:40,000
that for 10 minutes and move on.
It doesn't have to be a time

569
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,480
suck.
It can be whatever you want it

570
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,880
to be.
So yeah, I, I'm piggybacking off

571
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,480
of that Jonathan I and I
appreciate your answer.

572
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,600
Anyone else want to share a myth
around podcasting?

573
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,640
I will.
And then Dr. had her hand up

574
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,440
too.
Go for it.

575
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,600
Podcasting is easy.
Please elaborate.

576
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,760
Each Uncle Oh podcast is easy.
That's easy to do.

577
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,560
Podcasting is a job.
Podcasting takes work.

578
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,400
It takes research.
Like Yvonne talked about, it

579
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,000
takes time.
It takes strategy.

580
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,960
You need a plan.
I mean, people say, oh,

581
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,560
podcasting is easy.
Yeah, the grabbing the mic and

582
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,280
hitting record is easy.
But all the stuff that actually

583
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,440
makes up a successful show.
Podcasting is a lot of work.

584
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,560
Can't really argue with you
there if you're taking it

585
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,560
seriously.
If you're doing it more than

586
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,560
just a hobby, you have to treat
it like work.

587
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,120
There's no way around it.
If it's just a hobby for you,

588
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,360
sure, then I would say maybe it
is easy or easier because there

589
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,760
are no big expectations I don't
think in most cases.

590
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,640
By the way, coming back to Dave
Campbell, when I was joking

591
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,240
about his 3000 shows, he
corrected me and I'm quoting

592
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,720
him.
Only 9 ongoing shows, 9 shows.

593
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280
Dave, when are we going to get
you on stage so we can talk to

594
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,600
you more about this?
I appreciate that you're often

595
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,160
here in participating in the
chat, but I think one of these

596
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,280
days it's about time to get you
up here on stage.

597
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,400
And I know I've said that before
too.

598
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,280
We got to talk to you Dave, so.
And I know you've done Alex's

599
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,159
show, Alex Sanfilippo.
So you can come do hours driving

600
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:11,719
home from working overnight.
That's OK.

601
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,520
There's something called
speakerphone you can use.

602
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,400
I know he's commuting.
I.

603
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,360
It can't sound any worse than
Nick's audio, that's exactly.

604
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,800
Right, Nick's not here to defend
himself, but I don't think he

605
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,360
would anyway.
Now let's jump into it.

606
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,679
Let's celebrate some wins from
our past week.

607
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,120
Sid, if you don't mind, I'm
going to come to you to ask you

608
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,560
why do we do this?
What makes it so important to

609
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,120
celebrate wins from the week?
And I'm coming to you because I

610
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,360
just saw recently you posted a
video a little bit about

611
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:48,560
stopping to celebrate the wins.
It was a little bit different, I

612
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,080
think, but around along those
lines.

613
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,520
So if if you're open to it,
would you share what makes this

614
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,600
so important?
Yeah, absolutely.

615
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,840
That video was about team
building and marketing and sales

616
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,560
coming together and sharing
their wins.

617
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,960
So I think the biggest aspect
about wins is it has the

618
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,280
opportunity to change your
mindset about things and get you

619
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,040
into a into a better place.
Also, I think that, you know, do

620
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,880
what we do, especially those of
us that are entrepreneurs slash

621
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,160
solopreneurs.
This is not for the faint of

622
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,280
heart doing what we do.
And it's just so important to

623
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,640
acknowledge all the good things
you're doing and the things that

624
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,400
you're winning at because it's
super easy to get hung up on

625
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,960
something really negative or
something bad happened.

626
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,200
It's really easy to get, you
know, brought down and just

627
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,120
acknowledging how you're winning
because you have a win every

628
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,080
day, you're doing something good
every day.

629
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,600
And just acknowledging that
really can put you on the path

630
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,240
to continue to push forward, to
continue to go change your

631
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:45,840
mindset.
I mean, there's so many positive

632
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,280
things about why you want to say
out loud what your wins are.

633
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,680
Thank you, Sid.
I am totally with you there.

634
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,080
And maybe some of you will think
to piggyback on this, maybe some

635
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,560
of you will think that this is a
little woo, but there is

636
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,720
actually science behind this
too.

637
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,960
What we focus on grows.
If we're not stopping and

638
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,920
focusing on the accomplishments,
big or small, then we're not

639
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,160
going to see more of that.
And I've shared before, you

640
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,320
know, how when sometimes you're
talking to somebody and they

641
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,280
tell you maybe like, oh, I just
got a new dog.

642
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,720
I got a French poodle.
And then the next thing, you

643
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,680
know, after talking all about
that dog with them, the next

644
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,040
thing you know, everywhere you
look, you feel like you, you're

645
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,400
seeing French poodles more so
than you normally would.

646
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,480
You're like, that's so weird.
You know, so and so just got a

647
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,640
poodle.
Now I'm seeing your brain

648
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,800
gravitates to the things you
focus on.

649
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,880
And if you're focusing, if
you're not focusing on your your

650
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,160
wins, if you're not celebrating
and there's not a lot left to

651
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,720
focus on, but maybe the things
that aren't going so well.

652
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,560
And if we're focusing on the
things that aren't going so

653
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,240
well, we're just going to see
more things that aren't going

654
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,680
well for us.
So let's do it.

655
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,120
It's like a natural algorithm,
isn't it?

656
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,800
It's like a natural. 100% it's
our own built in algorithms and

657
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,960
it's genuinely, I know it's
funny, but it's really true.

658
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,840
Our brain works like that.
Yes, Jonathan, thank you.

659
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,280
I was grasping.
I was trying to find the words

660
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,240
and they slipped my mind.
Your reticular activating

661
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:21,840
system, that is what what gets
pinged in these situations that

662
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,480
I'm describing.
Let's go to some of our audience

663
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,760
who have joined us on stage.
Ralph, I'm coming to you first

664
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,600
and if you want to add on to
what we're saying, feel free and

665
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,520
then please share any wins from
your week.

666
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,240
Thank you and I appreciate that
because my win with my show

667
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:42,440
being a Christian podcast is to,
to reach one person and

668
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,960
something happened this week on
my I do a weekly show called

669
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,920
Truth on Veil with rabbits,
basically a weekly sermon show

670
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,400
where I compare what's going on
in culture to biblical truth.

671
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,440
And this week now I've only done
this show for like 2 months.

672
00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:57,000
I hit 1 million views on
YouTube.

673
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,360
So for me, that was massive and
I have one particular short that

674
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,440
is up to almost 700,000 views.
So for me that was just massive

675
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,280
because that tells me that.
And my subscriber list is almost

676
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,240
at 50,000.
It just tells me that people are

677
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:14,720
hearing a message of positivity,
they're hearing a message of

678
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:17,600
hope.
And if I can reach one person

679
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,960
today, then I feel like I've
done my job.

680
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,600
So thank you for letting me
share that because that was just

681
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,120
huge for me.
Yeah, congratulations.

682
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,400
Million total views.
Can you tell me real quick what

683
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,520
was the the one video, the short
that's doing so well that's got

684
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,160
that 700,000 views?
So it was actually kind of

685
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,360
funny.
It was just a view about Jesus

686
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,920
is the real king.
I was doing a a little bit of a

687
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,760
political satire on the whole,
you know, Kings March.

688
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,320
And I just said I made a simple
video.

689
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,160
And like I said, I'm not trying
to get political with everybody.

690
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,560
Don't get the wrong idea.
But I just said, look, if you're

691
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,440
a Christian, Jesus is the only
king.

692
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,640
And let me tell you right now, I
posted that Mark and like within

693
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,920
15 minutes I had like 50,000
views and I was like, wow.

694
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:04,000
And so to me, that was just huge
because it wasn't negative.

695
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,160
It wasn't anything like calling
anybody out against it, just

696
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,800
saying, hey here, as a
Christian, this is what we

697
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,040
believe.
And obviously that resonates

698
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,120
with people.
Ralph, was it the type?

699
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,240
Thank you for sharing that.
Was it the type of video that

700
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,880
you put out there and didn't
have any expectation for, or did

701
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,480
you put it out there and think,
yeah, I I bet you this one's

702
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,640
going to really do well?
I honestly wasn't sure and the

703
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,480
other problem that I'm kind of
battling and I'm going to get

704
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,520
into a whole discussion, but you
know, YouTube kind of restricts

705
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,280
the stuff that I put out there
because of it being Christian

706
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,960
based, believe it or not.
Because I've actually spent some

707
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,400
money trying to promote videos
on YouTube and they actually

708
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,680
give me what's called active
limited status where they're

709
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,840
only show up to so many people.
So I really wasn't sure what to

710
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,800
expect when it kind of took off
and the channels taken off.

711
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,920
It was just amazing to me that
like, even in spite of, you

712
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,280
know, people not wanting to
promote it, it's going on.

713
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,160
It's on its own.
So it has kind of has its own

714
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,400
energy, which has just been
amazing.

715
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,400
Yeah, Thank you, Ralph.
Thank you for sharing that.

716
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,480
And congratulations again on 1
million views on YouTube.

717
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,040
That is awesome.
And where can we find you on

718
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,760
YouTube, Ralph?
That was called Truth Unveiled

719
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,200
with Ralph.
So if you just search Truth

720
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,560
Unveiled with Ralph, I'd love it
if you subscribe to that.

721
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,400
I would like to hit 50,000
subscribers in the next day or

722
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,400
two.
That would be really cool.

723
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,200
So Truth Unveiled with Ralph.
There you go.

724
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:21,920
We.
Oh, I said.

725
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,920
There you go again.
Janae, you wrote.

726
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,080
There you go.
Were you?

727
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,560
I saw you wrote that in the chat
a few moments ago.

728
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,720
Did I say it earlier and you're
calling me out?

729
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:33,520
Or did you happen to use the
same term that I have deemed as

730
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:38,680
one of my worst crutch words
that I constantly say?

731
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,760
I'm curious, Janae.
Let me know.

732
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,200
Thank you again, Ralph.
Yvonne, did you have any other

733
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,160
wins?
I know your wins slipped out

734
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,880
there earlier.
Did you have anything else you

735
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,160
wanted to share?
My episode this week is an

736
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,720
episode that I have been wanting
to do for probably at least two

737
00:40:56,720 --> 00:41:00,920
years, and it's very funny.
I talked about the reticular

738
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,840
activating system, and my
example was that if you know

739
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:10,960
somebody who drives like a blue
Honda something and that

740
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,920
person's important in your life,
you're going to find them.

741
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:19,560
The episode is about asking good
questions, asking questions that

742
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:26,040
allow for possibility, that
allow for you to have a creative

743
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,360
response to what you need in
your life.

744
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,680
Instead of asking questions like
what am I doing wrong?

745
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,280
Why does this always happen to
me?

746
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,480
I got this idea from another
podcast and I didn't want to

747
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,720
steal her content, which is what
kept me from doing it for so

748
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:44,960
long.
But I've been using this

749
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,760
practice for for years now and I
finally felt like I could speak

750
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,720
to it on my own terms.
And so it's out in the world now

751
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:54,280
and I'm, I'm real proud of it.
Awesome.

752
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,000
Congratulations.
We will check that out.

753
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,640
And it reminded me of a book
that I read not too long ago

754
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,320
that I thought I'd share since I
think it's along the same lines

755
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:09,960
as what you were sharing about
asking questions, how to ask the

756
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,160
right questions, good questions,
etcetera.

757
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,360
There.
The book I read was Stop Asking

758
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:21,240
Questions by Andrew Warner, a
podcaster who shared from lots

759
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:25,240
of different personal podcast
interviews that he's hosted.

760
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,480
What made the interviews go
well, what maybe didn't make

761
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,400
them go well, and all about
really the art of questions and

762
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,360
how to ask questions or how to
say things in a way to get the

763
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,000
most out of your guests.
I read it because quite frankly,

764
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,400
I was thinking of writing a
similar book and I found it, so

765
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,400
I wanted to read it and
surprisingly, it's actually very

766
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,640
similar to what I was thinking I
would do.

767
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,000
So I if and when I'm ready to
write a book, I just have to

768
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,040
kind of tweak how I would do it
because I would don't want to do

769
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,560
it exactly the same way.
But it's a great book.

770
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,520
Stop asking questions.
Andrew Warner, if anybody is

771
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,680
interested, I'll keep it moving.
Tim, Brian, welcome to the

772
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,960
stage.
Please share any wins with us.

773
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:13,240
Hey Mark, thanks for having me
on here.

774
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:18,320
Today is the 30. 1st, I'm a
federal employee, so it's been

775
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:23,120
an interesting month for me.
But last night I decided to, you

776
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,760
know, go ahead and do an episode
just to get out of my funk and

777
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,080
all that kind of good stuff.
And it's funny because the

778
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:36,040
episode that I'm doing for my
Create Art podcast is measuring

779
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,360
growth as an artist.
I will be coming out on a

780
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,680
Sunday, but it felt really good
to do that episode because next

781
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,680
year I celebrate 20 years, and I
did it 10 years horribly.

782
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,600
And then since 2016, I've been
doing it pretty good.

783
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,560
Congratulations, Tim.
That's very cool.

784
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,800
And yeah, congratulations on
almost 20 years of podcasting.

785
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,680
Let me go to Jeff.
Jeff Dwoskin, good morning to

786
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,520
you, Sir.
Good to have you back on stage.

787
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,720
You want to share some wins with
us?

788
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,520
Hey, what's up?
It's.

789
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,360
More like a just a personal win.
Do I sound OK?

790
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,600
You sound fine.
Well, it's just the guest that I

791
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:18,760
have on this week was one that I
tried to get for years and it

792
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,320
was just somebody who I really
liked.

793
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,080
And so anyway, that was it was
nothing a big deal, but just

794
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,440
that, hey, keep trying.
You know, anyway, I was excited

795
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,520
about that.
Congratulations, Jeff.

796
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,720
Yeah, thank you and thanks for
being here this morning.

797
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:37,240
Appreciate it.
And Jonathan, I see you made a

798
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:40,880
comment that Leah and Amanda are
on stage.

799
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,240
Did they want to share any wins
with us, or did you for that

800
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:45,840
matter, since we're going to
you?

801
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,360
I will share a win, but Lee and
Amanda if you got wins to share,

802
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,760
please open your mic.
Am I win for this week?

803
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:58,040
So I had a show last week at a a
venue in Philly and I, you know

804
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,280
what?
I think I was scouted I think, I

805
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,240
think there are people there
watching me without my

806
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:04,240
knowledge.
Because after that I

807
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:09,920
coincidentally got a message in
my DM from a pretty big comic in

808
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,000
Philly asking me to open for him
at the punchline.

809
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,400
Which one is 1 of Philly's
biggest comedy venues.

810
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,840
So that is my win for this week
and and actually I have two wins

811
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,200
if I want to share, if I can
share too.

812
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,680
My Harper girl, for those of you
who who may follow me, I've been

813
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,600
having some issues with my dog
and we found a mass in her

814
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,360
mouth, the roof of her mouth.
So we took her to a specialist

815
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,600
because we got really bad news
from her primary.

816
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,600
But her specialist said that he
thinks that it may be benign.

817
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:43,360
So keep my girl in your thoughts
and prayers and send her good

818
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:44,640
energy.
But that's a win for me this

819
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,840
week.
Absolutely.

820
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,040
We'll send you lots of good
energy and see that.

821
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,400
Amanda, Amanda and I talked a
little bit yesterday morning and

822
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,840
she was telling me about her dog
and I said my dog Harley A2 year

823
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,640
about two years ago, a year and
a half ago he had this.

824
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,120
We found this huge tumor growing
out from his paw.

825
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,880
And our the the primary vet was
concerned and said they were

826
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,000
pretty sure it was cancer.
And then we went to a

827
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,920
specialist.
They weren't as convinced.

828
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:18,400
But once they removed it and
tested it, it was not cancer.

829
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,400
And so I'm glad that gave you a
little hope.

830
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,960
And then you got a little bit of
good news after that, Amanda.

831
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,200
So congratulations there too.
Thanks.

832
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:31,720
Very cool about the opening is
being an opener at a huge club

833
00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:34,120
in Philly.
That's really, really cool.

834
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,200
Now, did they ask you, or did
they ask Pam?

835
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,760
A little bit of both.
It's a package deal.

836
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,760
You get me and you get Pam.
So I actually said, if you don't

837
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,720
mind, would you care if I just
did myself because I'm only

838
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:49,400
getting 10 minutes?
To which they said absolutely.

839
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,680
So it was nice to see that
Amanda's appreciated as well.

840
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:53,560
You know what I mean?
Yeah.

841
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,880
Yeah, exactly.
Amanda, have you ever thought

842
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,120
about in those situations where
you have limited time and you

843
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:02,280
feel like you can't bring out
Pam, that you could still do a

844
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,320
bit about Pam or about Philly
moms?

845
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,480
Because, I mean, that's really
what Pam is, right?

846
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,520
Yep, so that's funny that you
said that cuz I just wrote

847
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,280
something for those instances.
Just explaining the character

848
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,640
and where she comes from and
throwing a joke in there about

849
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,320
her.
Yep, cool, just did that.

850
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:21,520
Awesome.
Awesome.

851
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,800
Congratulations, Amanda.
Excited for you.

852
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,800
Thank you.
You're welcome.

853
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,040
All right, let's keep it moving.
We do have some time left.

854
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,160
See, I like what's the word
resonating with these different

855
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,080
winds.
Jonathan, did I think I heard

856
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,240
you?
I didn't give mine about 3 weeks

857
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:41,960
ago I joined a mastermind with
Jasmine Star, been doing been

858
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:46,920
working a lot on that and I
finished my offer that I'm

859
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,640
putting together and it will be
coming out into the world on

860
00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:52,640
Monday.
I'm actually doing doing the

861
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,240
things that need to be done in
the mastermind.

862
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:56,280
So I'm proud I'm at least
getting that done.

863
00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:59,040
So yeah, congratulations
Jonathan.

864
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,520
And Jonathan, do you want to
share a pre win about Monday's

865
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,800
episode of PMC?
I've also been doing over on on

866
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,760
Chatter where I am right now a
series of obsession worthy

867
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,320
podcasts.
And they are different podcasts

868
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,400
that are they have something
about them that, you know,

869
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,960
create their special, their
special sauce.

870
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,080
And I've been kind of breaking
that down for users over there.

871
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,600
And I'm going to be sharing one
of them over here on Monday and

872
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,320
hopefully everybody will be able
to participate.

873
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:29,720
Very cool.
Yeah.

874
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:31,600
So.
And that will be an episode of

875
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,720
Smart Lists, right?
Yes, an episode of Smartless,

876
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:37,320
the episode with Julia Roberts.
I think it was on two or three

877
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,120
weeks ago.
Yeah, I saw that.

878
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:40,640
OK, cool, cool.
Awesome.

879
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,760
So, yeah, you know, now we're
doing these weekly evaluations

880
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,120
of independent podcasters and
what they're doing and giving

881
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:48,920
our advice.
This is a little bit of a

882
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,480
different spin.
Now we're going to look at some

883
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,960
of the most popular podcasts
that are out there and break

884
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,160
those down as to why they're
doing so well, what makes them

885
00:48:57,240 --> 00:49:00,440
obsession worthy.
Looking forward to that,

886
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,640
Jonathan.
On Monday, 7:00 AM.

887
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,200
Eastern, live on Clubhouse and
Chatter.

888
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,320
And then of course, available as
a podcast episode a few hours

889
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,280
later.
Janae is on stage.

890
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,480
Good morning, Janae, it's been a
minute since we've had you on

891
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,480
stage.
I know you've been active in our

892
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,920
chat regularly, but it's been a
minute since we had you up here.

893
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,080
Good morning.
Welcome and please share any

894
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,080
wins with us.
Good morning, everyone.

895
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:28,080
So one quick win, I've been
working with a friend of mine

896
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:34,040
defining and building my impound
podcast blueprint is and

897
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,960
refining that three phase
framework, which is again,

898
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,720
something that helps you figure
out what all of the things that

899
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,040
you need to be doing to have a
successful podcast.

900
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,680
So it's something coming along
or some comprehensive training.

901
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,440
So that's something I've been
working on as well as, you know,

902
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,640
record podcast recording has
been paused.

903
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:58,200
So that gives me a lot of time
to focus on working on these

904
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,720
things.
So that's been a great win for

905
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:00,520
this week.
Thanks.

906
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,160
You're welcome.
Thank you.

907
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,520
Thank you for sharing, Janae,
congratulations.

908
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,560
And yeah, I get it with the with
the kids and all that.

909
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:09,640
You can't always make it up here
on stage.

910
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,840
And that's a win for me.
I'm glad that you're still able

911
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,600
to make it when you can and
participate in the chat or

912
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,080
participate.
However, you can always

913
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,720
appreciate your contributions.
And especially, I do want to

914
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:24,640
shout out, shout you out again
for your help yesterday with

915
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,800
Matt Bliss, the two of you
creating some really nice

916
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:32,320
looking cover art on the spot
for Magdalena and her podcast

917
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,080
that we evaluated yesterday.
That picture you found I thought

918
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:39,440
was perfect worked really well.
So thank you for pouring into

919
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,160
our community as you normally
do.

920
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,680
Janae, we appreciate you.
All right, I'm going to keep it

921
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,080
moving and let's go down the
line.

922
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,640
Ashley, do you want to share any
wins from your week?

923
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,840
My win for this week is that we
had a great wrap up session with

924
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,760
My Happy Ass Life.
We needed to start filming the

925
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,160
first few episodes for season 7.
We got that done and yesterday

926
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,880
was particularly special because
my host name is Karen.

927
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,920
She interviewed the mayor.
Yeah, We were concerned because

928
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,360
he was running late.
He said.

929
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:14,520
I don't know if I'm going to
make it.

930
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,120
It's a little bit longer of a
drive than I originally thought.

931
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,320
I've got a ribbon cutting right
after how mayoral, but he made

932
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,920
it just on time.
I had everything ready to go.

933
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,680
All I had to do is hit the
buttons.

934
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,680
We did the show and he was out
just in time.

935
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,120
Very cool.
Congratulations, Ashley.

936
00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:34,080
Let's go to DRDR. Any wins for
us?

937
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,640
You know, for the past three
weeks we've kind of been

938
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,760
roughing it here in the house
and today here it.

939
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,480
Comes it's another appliance, go
ahead.

940
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,800
Have a brand new dishwasher
arriving today.

941
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,240
I'm telling you, for the past
three weeks it's been like

942
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:51,640
living like a little house on
the Prairie.

943
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,640
We're very, very close to
churning our own but.

944
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:01,360
Congratulations Dr. Let me know
how it all goes and I do relate.

945
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:06,080
I know when we've once or twice
had a issues with our dishwasher

946
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:12,160
and days or weeks go by it you
realize how much you appreciate

947
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,640
appliances like a dishwasher.
But I've lost the ability to

948
00:52:15,720 --> 00:52:17,960
wash dishes.
I mean, there are times when I'm

949
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,280
getting out a dish that I've
washed and I'm like, what in the

950
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,320
I can't believe it.
I watched this.

951
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,960
I know I did.
So yeah, I've lost that ability,

952
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:28,760
I guess.
Yeah.

953
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,960
Congratulations, Dr. Sid.
You want to share any wins with

954
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,160
us?
Please do.

955
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:37,640
Last week I worked with Mark and
Nick on something that was

956
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,080
trying to figure out how to do
with Notebook LM and it was a

957
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,720
lot of fun in the process to
figure it out.

958
00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:48,040
And I got it figured out and got
it slated for my episode to come

959
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,480
out a week from Monday.
It'll be the wrap UPS episode of

960
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:57,640
season 6 of my podcast and using
the voices and all from Notebook

961
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,240
LM deep dive.
And so earlier this week while I

962
00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:04,080
was at the trade show that I was
at, I shared it with a listener

963
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:08,120
and I also, he's a guest on my
show and he was just blown away

964
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:13,880
by what that was able to do and
how it sounded and the content

965
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,840
that it produced.
It just underscored the fact

966
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,760
that it was the right decision.
So that was a win.

967
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,800
Just letting somebody like
preview it that like, wow, this

968
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,720
is a really cool thing because I
want to show my community what's

969
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:27,000
possible with AI.
And so I really enjoyed getting

970
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,600
that kind of feedback and that
excitement.

971
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,000
So that's definitely one for me
to this.

972
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,240
Congratulations Sid.
I can't wait to hear that.

973
00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:36,120
If I can get even a sneak peek,
I would love to hear it before

974
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,760
it's officially released.
I don't think you said it was

975
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,600
released yet.
I would love to hear.

976
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,480
That yeah no, it comes out on
November the 10th yeah.

977
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:43,520
I'll send it to you when it's
done.

978
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,240
It's not finished yet.
I still have to record the intro

979
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:48,080
and outro to it so it's.
Awesome.

980
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,680
Congratulations, Sid.
All right, we're going to go to

981
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,440
Rich and then I'll wrap things
up from there and share a couple

982
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,800
of my wins as well.
Richie, any wins you got to

983
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,480
share with us?
Hey, good morning.

984
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:03,200
Yeah, two quick wins.
I signed 2 new clients yesterday

985
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,680
on two in one day so it was a
good day and that's that.

986
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,960
Yeah, awesome.
Congratulations, you Rich.

987
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,280
Real quick, what what do you do
for these clients so people can

988
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,240
get a better idea of what that's
all about?

989
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,400
South, the one client is going
to be a LinkedIn coaching

990
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,000
client.
So I'm going to it's going to be

991
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,880
a private coaching all about
LinkedIn marketing strategy.

992
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,680
The other one is actually
something that I'm not

993
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,800
fulfilling with someone on my
team is, but it's going to be

994
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,880
graphic designs, thumbnail
images for the podcast and stuff

995
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,240
like that, so my graphics guy
will fulfill it.

996
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,520
Awesome.
Congratulations, Rich.

997
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,520
Again, Rich Perry.
Is it just richperry.com or Rich

998
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,640
Perry coaching?
Rich Perry dot.

999
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:51,480
Comrichperry.com Go check out
what Rich is up to for me, my

1000
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,520
wins.
I think yesterday's episode,

1001
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,600
another podcast evaluation
episode, our second in the

1002
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,840
series, went off really well.
And it was particularly nice

1003
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:06,120
having the podcaster there so
that we could really get some

1004
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:10,040
deeper insight on what she's up
to, why she's doing what she's

1005
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,720
doing, and be able to respond to
some of the feedback we gave

1006
00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:14,400
her.
I think those episodes are

1007
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,120
really strong.
And I have this feeling, I told

1008
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,400
Dr. yesterday, I have this
feeling if we can continue to

1009
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,240
improve upon them, continue to
do those, I think that it's

1010
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:27,880
going to become one of those
must see, must hear episodes,

1011
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,920
that appointment listening for a
lot of podcasters.

1012
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,600
I think it's going to be
something big for us and I'm

1013
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,760
really excited about it.
Yesterday, I had a wonderful

1014
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,520
phone call with one of my newest
clients, Renee, who you all

1015
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,520
know, if you've been a part of
this for any period of time,

1016
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,360
Renee and her business partner
Mark, and he even spells it the

1017
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,280
same way I do, Marc.
They are awesome people to work

1018
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,280
with.
It's really fun working with new

1019
00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:00,440
podcasters that have a ton of
marketing experience.

1020
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,520
It just makes it a way more
interesting conversation when we

1021
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,400
do these sessions.
So big win for me for sure.

1022
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:15,200
Also, I've been making a variety
of content this past week or two

1023
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:19,120
that I'm really proud of.
I've continued to do those short

1024
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,120
blog style posts that I put up
on in our Facebook group

1025
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,240
Empowered Podcasting.
And also I put up on my LinkedIn

1026
00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:28,360
page almost daily my short form
content.

1027
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,600
I'm trying out some different
things than I've been doing

1028
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,440
lately that I think are working.
I mean, it's a slow burn, it

1029
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,360
seems, but they do feel like
they're working.

1030
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,400
But more importantly, I'm I'm
proud of them.

1031
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,360
And also I'm starting to
experiment with some longer form

1032
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,200
content.
In other words, still stuff that

1033
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:51,840
qualifies as Tik Toks in Reels.
So like 2 minute, 2 1/2 minute

1034
00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:54,360
videos.
I'm working on those because I

1035
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:59,560
do know that TikTok loves it.
If you can create something like

1036
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:03,120
that that keeps people attention
for that long of a period of

1037
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,320
time, I've seen it first hand do
really well for others.

1038
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,200
So I am experimenting and I'm
proud of myself for allowing

1039
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:15,840
myself to experiment and not
feel so confined to the usual

1040
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,040
rules I've set for myself.
And then the last thing I'll

1041
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,360
just say briefly, I'm really
excited behind the scenes.

1042
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,080
We're building a new system for
ironic media from behind the

1043
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,120
scenes to make everything not
only run more smoothly,

1044
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,440
consolidate it all, but also it
will ultimately save me a lot of

1045
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,000
money because it has a lot of
the built in tools that I pay

1046
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,880
for separately.
As an example, Calendly being

1047
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,400
one of them.
I pay something for Calendly all

1048
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,800
the time every month.
Well, this is it has its own

1049
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:51,440
calendly system built in and
will save me money each and

1050
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,200
every month.
And there are multiple tools

1051
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,200
like that this applies to.
So I'm I'm super excited about

1052
00:57:56,200 --> 00:58:00,000
that and looking forward to it
launching for me in 2026.

1053
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,080
All right gang, we've gone
overtime.

1054
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,320
Thank you.
Thanks for another awesome week

1055
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:05,760
of shows.
Appreciate it.

1056
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,240
Looking forward to another great
week of shows next week.

1057
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,400
As I said Monday, Jonathan
Howard will be leading the

1058
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:16,720
charge, sharing what makes
Smartless so obsession worthy,

1059
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,160
and we'll want you to chime in
and share your thoughts on it as

1060
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,160
well.
So like he said, just go look up

1061
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,400
Smartless and look up the Julia
Roberts interview.

1062
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:29,880
It's only a couple of episodes
from the most recent, so you

1063
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,920
should find it pretty quickly
close to the top until Monday.
