In this episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach," we dive into the nuances of adding enhanced content like slides to your YouTube videos. I discuss with Jim the evolving landscape of podcasting, the tricky transition from hobby to business, and the balance needed when offering personalized coaching.

We also touch on the significance of community-driven podcasting and the essence of constructive feedback. Additionally, we share our personal experiences with website migration and the tribulations of various hosting platforms. As always, we celebrate our supporters in our "wheel o' names" segment, encourage listener engagement, and humorously banter about everything from pizza pilgrimages to tight jeans, all while anticipating next week's exciting insights.

12
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:44,940
Anyways, welcome back. Yeah. It's, it's good to be back. It really is. I

13
00:00:44,940 --> 00:00:48,745
actually thought of sending you a message because it dawned on me.

14
00:00:48,745 --> 00:00:52,525
I forgot I was on West Coast time. So 10:30

15
00:00:52,665 --> 00:00:56,379
EST is 7:30 in the morning. I was awake. I'm like, oh, I could've

16
00:00:56,379 --> 00:01:00,219
done Ask the Podcast Coach. I would've been on the the

17
00:01:00,219 --> 00:01:04,000
slave of hotel Wi Fi, which is not always a good place to be.

18
00:01:04,345 --> 00:01:07,945
But I was like, you know what? It's okay. It it it was Easter weekend.

19
00:01:07,945 --> 00:01:11,625
I hope everybody had a great Easter weekend. And I I ended up having a

20
00:01:11,625 --> 00:01:15,410
birthday party to go to anyways. Oh, yeah. So it all worked out. It all

21
00:01:15,410 --> 00:01:19,170
worked out. Yeah. A fun one? Like, a a grandkid kinda thing? Almost like

22
00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:22,914
an adopted grandkid kind of thing. Like, you know, a family,

23
00:01:22,914 --> 00:01:25,555
they're out of they were from out of town, and they didn't have a lot

24
00:01:25,555 --> 00:01:29,330
of family here, so we were their grandparents. Nice. That's always fun. It was

25
00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:33,170
fun. I am, It was fun. I'm laughing because I'm trying to remember where

26
00:01:33,170 --> 00:01:36,905
the chat window is. I'm I'm rusty this morning. And you know

27
00:01:37,045 --> 00:01:40,884
what really helps when you're feeling rusty? Some coffee.

28
00:01:40,884 --> 00:01:44,725
Some coffee. Absolutely. And so, we will hit that. There

29
00:01:44,725 --> 00:01:47,880
we go. And that coffee, of course, is brought to you by our good friend,

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,720
Mark, over at podcastbranding.co. If you

31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,414
are, if you're looking to have artwork made like,

32
00:01:55,414 --> 00:01:59,255
I don't know, your podcast website.com, you know who you're gonna call?

33
00:01:59,255 --> 00:02:03,009
Mark from podcastbranding.co. If you, if you want

34
00:02:03,009 --> 00:02:06,549
personalized service where he's gonna sit down with you and make sure

35
00:02:06,770 --> 00:02:10,125
that it really fits your show, who you gonna call? That's right.

36
00:02:10,125 --> 00:02:13,965
Podcastbranding.co. If you need a PDF, if you need an

37
00:02:13,965 --> 00:02:17,025
entire website, who you gonna call? Podcastbranding.co.

38
00:02:18,570 --> 00:02:22,250
He gives you personalized service. He's also a podcaster, and I know

39
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:26,090
that sounds like so. No. That's huge because you don't have to

40
00:02:26,090 --> 00:02:29,905
explain what it is and things like that. And he's gonna just basically keep

41
00:02:29,905 --> 00:02:33,445
working until you get the stuff you need because you gotta remember

42
00:02:33,985 --> 00:02:37,810
they are going to see you before they hear you. And you gotta

43
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:41,410
grab that. You gotta stop the scroll. How do you stop the scroll? By looking

44
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:44,849
good, looking professional because, you know, if you do your

45
00:02:44,849 --> 00:02:48,595
podcast, artwork and whatever, it's gonna look like you did it with a

46
00:02:48,595 --> 00:02:52,275
crayon. And, you don't wanna look like a crayon. You wanna go to

47
00:02:52,275 --> 00:02:55,930
podcastbranding.co and, tell them,

48
00:02:56,090 --> 00:02:57,470
Dave and Jim sent you.

49
00:03:01,370 --> 00:03:04,915
Big thanks our good friend, Dan Lefebvre over there based on a true story, based

55
00:03:21,755 --> 00:03:25,595
does it. Pro podcaster, and you'll wanna check it out today based on a true

56
00:03:25,595 --> 00:03:29,099
story podcast.com. Dan, thanks for

57
00:03:29,099 --> 00:03:32,620
your sponsorship. I'm, I'm laughing because behind the

58
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:36,465
scenes, there is a window that I can pull up. Like, if anybody is in

59
00:03:36,465 --> 00:03:40,224
YouTube right now saying things, I surely can't find it.

60
00:03:40,224 --> 00:03:43,800
I'm looking. I got camera switching and interviews and

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,000
interview chat. All sorts of Can you see the livestream? I can Is that what

62
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,620
you're saying in the comment? Yeah. Usually, I have a window open

63
00:03:51,275 --> 00:03:54,875
or maybe I need to go to it's like I'm so rusty this morning. And

64
00:03:54,875 --> 00:03:57,995
I was like, well, usually, you open it up, and there's the stuff from the

65
00:03:57,995 --> 00:04:01,090
last time you used it. And I'm like, yeah. I got nothing. So if there

66
00:04:01,090 --> 00:04:04,690
was, like, an echo right now, Oh, they're just saying you're

67
00:04:04,690 --> 00:04:07,890
quieter than me. I'm quieter than you. Alright. Well, I will I will get they're

68
00:04:07,890 --> 00:04:11,425
giving. And it's so weird because I'm I'm

69
00:04:11,425 --> 00:04:15,185
looking, and I got While you're while you're tell you, while

70
00:04:15,185 --> 00:04:18,320
you're looking, let me tell folks what I do for this kind of situation because

71
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,760
I think if you're gonna livestream with Ecamm or or with

72
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,140
StreamYard or with any of the other ones, and if you're gonna go to YouTube,

73
00:04:25,544 --> 00:04:29,165
you probably should just go to your live page that you're streaming on

74
00:04:29,305 --> 00:04:33,100
and pop that chat out. It's kind of the easiest way to

75
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:36,940
get chat. I know all of those services have the ability to bring

76
00:04:36,940 --> 00:04:40,700
the stream into, like, StreamYard has an area where you

77
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:43,675
can you can talk back to the audience. It's

78
00:04:44,475 --> 00:04:47,675
I don't know. I I don't find it as as easy. I don't like it

79
00:04:47,675 --> 00:04:51,380
as much. The other thing I can't do is I can't ban folks. Like,

80
00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:55,080
on YouTube, if you start getting some, you know, you get some some racist

81
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:58,920
or something, you know, pornish, whatever that's out there,

82
00:04:59,145 --> 00:05:02,824
You can't, you can't delete it. And so I always find if you're

83
00:05:02,824 --> 00:05:05,965
streaming to YouTube, always best to have the YouTube

84
00:05:06,425 --> 00:05:10,120
chat open, signed in as the owner so you can

85
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,240
boot folks out. You can't I can't do that from StreamYard. I'm not sure if

86
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,824
you can do that inside of Ecamm, Dave. Could could you boot

87
00:05:16,824 --> 00:05:20,585
somebody from the chat room inside of I Cam. Let's see if I can boot

88
00:05:20,585 --> 00:05:24,185
Randy. I See you, Randy. Yeah. I

89
00:05:24,185 --> 00:05:28,000
think there is a way. Everybody's saying we're It's just easier

90
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,760
on YouTube. It's just easier. Everybody's saying we're all low, and I don't know that

91
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,595
there is a way to boost this whole thing.

92
00:05:35,595 --> 00:05:38,474
I'll just get up on the mic. That will will help. We do. I'll tell

93
00:05:38,474 --> 00:05:42,235
you what. This is how we'll make everything louder. We have a now here's the

94
00:05:42,235 --> 00:05:45,630
fun thing. When you're rusty is

95
00:05:46,730 --> 00:05:50,410
Jeff says, you know, when it comes to those, they're pesky, aren't

96
00:05:50,410 --> 00:05:54,175
they? That dang pornish chatters. Yes. Uh-huh. So

97
00:05:54,175 --> 00:05:57,955
it was fun. Oh, they call them pornish game hens. Right? I think that's

98
00:05:58,495 --> 00:06:02,110
the I think that's the name of them. But, Ralph from ask

99
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:05,789
ralphpodcast.com had sent a video in

100
00:06:05,789 --> 00:06:09,310
this morning. And I thought, oh, and I went in and I

101
00:06:09,310 --> 00:06:13,025
googled, how do you share a video on Ecamm and kinda got

102
00:06:13,025 --> 00:06:16,065
it to work after the picture and picture and the and I went, you know

103
00:06:16,065 --> 00:06:19,180
what? I think this will work. And that's when I went, you know what? We

104
00:06:19,180 --> 00:06:22,940
know how to do audio comments really easy,

105
00:06:22,940 --> 00:06:26,505
and I hope I get no notifications while I do this. But here is Ralph's

106
00:06:26,505 --> 00:06:30,265
question. It's a good one. We're gonna end up I've noticed this now, Jim. No

107
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:33,790
matter what we wanna do, we're gonna end up talking about

108
00:06:33,790 --> 00:06:37,390
YouTube. It's just Yay. Yay. It's just it's just the way it is. But

109
00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:40,750
here's Ralph. Alright. Here's a question for the ask the

110
00:06:40,750 --> 00:06:44,195
podcast coach today because I might not be able to make the whole show today

111
00:06:44,195 --> 00:06:48,035
because it's almost April 15th, and my business is busy today.

112
00:06:48,035 --> 00:06:51,640
But here's the question. I recently released my podcast

113
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:55,400
now on video on YouTube and Rumble. And my question

114
00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:59,055
for the 2 of you guys is should I really make a

115
00:06:59,055 --> 00:07:02,895
strong focus to do more slides and things

116
00:07:02,895 --> 00:07:06,630
like that to put on the YouTube and Rumble channel? I don't really see that

117
00:07:06,630 --> 00:07:10,390
this will make a negative impact on the podcasting audio

118
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:14,044
side, but I just wanted to get your guys' thoughts because I'm really pushing

119
00:07:14,044 --> 00:07:17,264
this, and I see my YouTube and Rumble audience growing.

120
00:07:17,725 --> 00:07:20,900
And if I'm seeing growth there, it makes sense to invest in that. So just

121
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:24,280
give me some ideas, and what do you think the best way to proceed is?

122
00:07:24,340 --> 00:07:27,540
Okay. So a couple things behind the scenes because Ralph's a member of the School

123
00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:30,935
of Podcasting. His show is typically 10 minutes or less.

124
00:07:31,715 --> 00:07:35,475
And one of the reasons his show is growing is because there's a

125
00:07:35,475 --> 00:07:38,770
thing on YouTube I didn't know about where you can basically buy

126
00:07:39,970 --> 00:07:43,430
not buying views, but you kinda are. It's a little bit like a Facebook

127
00:07:44,155 --> 00:07:47,595
boost, which never do a Facebook boost. But, yeah,

128
00:07:47,755 --> 00:07:51,435
Doctor says we're only getting the audio, not the video. Yes. That was I did

129
00:07:51,435 --> 00:07:55,229
I never not finish my point? I probably not. The reason I stuck with

130
00:07:55,229 --> 00:07:58,030
audio is because I know how to do it. When I when I was kinda

131
00:07:58,030 --> 00:08:00,830
like, I think I can do the video, I was like, you know what? But

132
00:08:00,830 --> 00:08:03,835
I do know how to do the audio, and we don't really need the video.

133
00:08:04,215 --> 00:08:08,055
And so he is he did pay for sponsorship or some sort of

134
00:08:08,055 --> 00:08:11,850
boosting promotion thing on YouTube. So not that his content wouldn't grow it

135
00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:15,370
anyway, but the reason it's growing is because he's paying for it

136
00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:19,035
potentially. He's getting more views with that. And Chris says,

137
00:08:19,035 --> 00:08:22,575
hey. Rumble views are extremely low. Yeah. He he did say that.

138
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:26,715
But he's also Ralph is, the reason he's busy, by the way, is

139
00:08:26,715 --> 00:08:30,370
because he he's a tax accountant. He's he's an accountant, but he does

140
00:08:30,370 --> 00:08:33,649
taxes. But she would do my taxes. I still have to do them. Yeah. I've

141
00:08:33,649 --> 00:08:37,235
been for That's what I've been doing in the law. Oh, jeez. And so

142
00:08:37,235 --> 00:08:40,995
the, but his thing is it's kind of

143
00:08:40,995 --> 00:08:44,450
taxing and accounting business advice for

144
00:08:44,450 --> 00:08:47,810
people and businesses from a Christian perspective. And I'm like,

145
00:08:47,810 --> 00:08:51,605
well, from what I understand, if you're leaning right,

146
00:08:51,605 --> 00:08:55,225
which most Christians do, but not always, don't wanna paint with that wider brush,

147
00:08:55,605 --> 00:08:58,980
you know, rumble might be where you wanna be. But getting back to the

148
00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:02,820
original question, so he started he he does a daily show, so they're

149
00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:06,435
short. He started putting them on YouTube. What do you know? There's more

150
00:09:06,435 --> 00:09:10,195
content on YouTube, so he started growing. And he's like, hey. Should I

151
00:09:10,195 --> 00:09:13,735
now start putting slides in my video?

152
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:18,470
And I was like, because it's only 10 minutes. And here's

153
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:22,149
my thing. Anything with video, if you've got the time and

154
00:09:22,149 --> 00:09:25,515
the budget, sure. If you're a tax

155
00:09:25,515 --> 00:09:28,655
accountant the week before April 15th

156
00:09:29,595 --> 00:09:32,575
you know, there was a in fact, let me tie this in with another question.

157
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,640
Because I saw this and was like, well, I'm not really

158
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,485
sure. Yeah. And they get really I

159
00:09:40,485 --> 00:09:44,005
mean, YouTube people get really nerdy. They're they're dropping

160
00:09:44,005 --> 00:09:47,845
names. Hey, guys. Of course. We're just looking for some advice

161
00:09:47,845 --> 00:09:51,570
and other people's experience as to changing settings regarding where the podcast

162
00:09:51,570 --> 00:09:55,090
is recorded. This isn't the one I was looking for. I was

163
00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:58,925
somebody said basically about the way they

164
00:09:58,925 --> 00:10:02,065
edit the show in the style of, like, Alibaba

165
00:10:02,605 --> 00:10:06,225
or somebody. I was like, wait. What? Yeah. Here we go.

166
00:10:06,410 --> 00:10:10,250
I've been so I have clients as yeah. So I have clients of mine

167
00:10:10,250 --> 00:10:14,090
for 6 months now. I do mostly repurposing of this long form videos

168
00:10:14,090 --> 00:10:17,725
from YouTube and repurposing them into shorts and reels. That seems to be

169
00:10:18,025 --> 00:10:21,545
what people are doing now. Yeah. Be on YouTube, but mainly be on YouTube so

170
00:10:21,545 --> 00:10:25,380
you can cut them into shorts. Right. Some of these reels become viral and some

171
00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:29,220
aren't. Welcome to YouTube. It's called an algorithm. I use the same editing

172
00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:32,925
style like Ali Abdul. Sorry, Ali. Never heard of you,

173
00:10:32,925 --> 00:10:36,685
but, okay, I'm assuming Ali does really good editing. So the first thing

174
00:10:36,685 --> 00:10:40,529
came to mind is because of the guest topic. But when I did

175
00:10:40,529 --> 00:10:44,370
the same guest and topic with different editing style, the one with

176
00:10:44,370 --> 00:10:47,970
minimal editing has more views and likes and comments than the one

177
00:10:47,970 --> 00:10:51,795
apparently that has all sorts of flashy stuff. My question is

178
00:10:51,795 --> 00:10:55,555
more likely a survey for seasoned podcasters. Which

179
00:10:55,555 --> 00:10:59,060
editing do you prefer? The one with lots of editing animations

180
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,040
or the minimal approach? Your feedback is appreciated. And

181
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,400
so kinda going back to to Ralph's question in

182
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,144
this, is it just me, or it seems like

183
00:11:10,144 --> 00:11:13,845
they're kinda focusing on the icing and not the cake?

184
00:11:14,144 --> 00:11:17,820
Like, if it's good content and you're just it's a talking head,

185
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:21,720
crap. Something buck. There's a guy on YouTube that does

186
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,240
microphone reviews. Tom, Tom Buck. I think that's his last

187
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,004
name. Anyway, he talks into the microphone. Now he occasionally

188
00:11:29,065 --> 00:11:32,665
will switch camera angles, but for the most

189
00:11:32,665 --> 00:11:36,139
part, he's not doing anything too too crazy.

190
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,220
And so when Ralph is saying, should I add slides?

191
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,625
If he got time, sure. But in a way, it's kind of that's to

192
00:11:44,625 --> 00:11:48,305
me, that's kind of backwards. If I was just doing slides, I would

193
00:11:48,305 --> 00:11:52,130
go, should I do live video and and put my face

194
00:11:52,130 --> 00:11:55,329
there as opposed I've already got my face. I've gone as video as I can

195
00:11:55,329 --> 00:11:58,825
get. I'm a 100% video. Now do I want to put in slides? If I

196
00:11:58,825 --> 00:12:02,425
was gonna put anything, I I guess if I wanted to put icing on this,

197
00:12:02,425 --> 00:12:05,945
it might be b roll because that's I I think if we go I don't

198
00:12:05,945 --> 00:12:09,529
know. I'm I'm rambling, Jim. Thoughts? No. You're fine. You're at

199
00:12:09,610 --> 00:12:13,290
you're you're bringing up a lot of good points in the YouTube

200
00:12:13,290 --> 00:12:16,945
construction process. And, you know, you watch there's a couple different

201
00:12:16,945 --> 00:12:20,645
variety. Right? I mean, there's folks just doing stuff. There's,

202
00:12:20,945 --> 00:12:24,779
you know, highly produced stuff. There's AI created stuff.

203
00:12:24,779 --> 00:12:28,459
They're where they're using a lot of b roll. And I I still

204
00:12:28,459 --> 00:12:32,245
contend on YouTube. People follow people,

205
00:12:32,945 --> 00:12:36,705
and I think getting a personality out there is

206
00:12:36,705 --> 00:12:40,100
why I mean, everyone loves Joe Rogan because he's Joe

207
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:43,640
Rogan. If I did Joe Rogan's exact show,

208
00:12:44,339 --> 00:12:48,025
it wouldn't be it wouldn't get the traction because I'm not Joe Rogan. I mean,

209
00:12:48,025 --> 00:12:51,065
they love Joe Rogan. They love his background. They love who he is and what

210
00:12:51,065 --> 00:12:54,900
he does, the way he interviews, all those kinds of things. Right? I think,

211
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:58,660
yeah, put some slides. I mean, that's better than nothing. If you have a

212
00:12:58,660 --> 00:13:02,120
style that people like in their helpful slides,

213
00:13:02,435 --> 00:13:06,195
yeah, put them in there. Absolutely. But is that

214
00:13:06,195 --> 00:13:09,875
gonna you know, I don't know. Do it do it and try. See what

215
00:13:09,875 --> 00:13:13,380
happens. Experiment with it. That's the beauty of all of this is you can

216
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,519
you can give it a shot and and give it a try and see see

217
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:20,514
what works. I was I was in a I was in a podcast meeting this

218
00:13:20,514 --> 00:13:24,194
week at work, and we're kinda questioning everything right now, which is good.

219
00:13:24,194 --> 00:13:27,074
Every once in a while. You know those Yeah. Cycles that you go through where

220
00:13:27,074 --> 00:13:30,100
it's like, do we tie our shoes to the left, or we tie them to

221
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:33,720
the right? You know? And you're kinda like, oh, we don't need to question everything,

222
00:13:33,940 --> 00:13:37,525
but we are. And, and so I was in a in a podcast meeting, and

223
00:13:37,525 --> 00:13:40,905
we were talking about and and one of the podcasts we do has these

224
00:13:40,965 --> 00:13:44,380
varying topics. And and somebody was making a

225
00:13:44,380 --> 00:13:48,160
comment, nothing's consistent. It can't ever be the same. We're

226
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:52,000
interviewing different people all the time with different backgrounds and different topics.

227
00:13:52,605 --> 00:13:56,305
And I didn't say it, but I wish I would've said, hello, Joe Rogan.

228
00:13:56,685 --> 00:14:00,445
Like, Rogan is not there's not one consistent thing except

229
00:14:00,445 --> 00:14:03,850
him and maybe him smoking weed in the podcast

230
00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:07,210
or cigars. I I always come back to

231
00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:11,795
people want to follow people. You need to

232
00:14:12,255 --> 00:14:16,014
be interesting. Right? You need to have an opinion. You need to have

233
00:14:16,014 --> 00:14:19,855
a personality. You need to be consistent with it, and people need to

234
00:14:19,855 --> 00:14:23,680
like you. Now that has a that has a asterisk on it

235
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,520
because some people like to watch things that they don't like the person on.

236
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,345
And I don't understand that, but it it is a thing. Like, it's

237
00:14:31,345 --> 00:14:35,185
a thing. Right? People, like, they'll watch it and then complain about it, and then

238
00:14:35,185 --> 00:14:37,905
they'll come back the next week and watch it again. You see this on YouTube

239
00:14:37,905 --> 00:14:38,645
all the time. Virgin River on Netflix is the dumbest show ever where they have

240
00:14:40,370 --> 00:14:43,890
Netflix is the dumbest show ever where they have

241
00:14:43,890 --> 00:14:47,330
drama. Like, what do you mean you

242
00:14:47,330 --> 00:14:50,995
farted in church? I can't I don't know if I can forgive

243
00:14:50,995 --> 00:14:54,595
you for this. And I'm like, really? It's, but I watched that

244
00:14:54,595 --> 00:14:58,089
show to make sure it's still stupid and

245
00:14:58,089 --> 00:15:01,870
dumb. And I wanna punch that one woman in the face because

246
00:15:02,170 --> 00:15:05,529
her drama is so, yeah, I get the whole people watch

247
00:15:05,529 --> 00:15:09,235
things because they, you know Yeah. They watch it for people. Yeah.

248
00:15:09,235 --> 00:15:12,435
And they wanna they like, the we listen. We have 30 people or whatever it

249
00:15:12,435 --> 00:15:15,649
is in our chat room right now. And this is the same thing on the

250
00:15:15,649 --> 00:15:18,769
podcast that I do at Gallup. We get people that come out to join us

251
00:15:18,769 --> 00:15:22,610
live. They're joining us, and I I don't wanna sound no. I'm

252
00:15:22,610 --> 00:15:26,095
just gonna say it. You guys like hanging out with us. You like us

253
00:15:26,235 --> 00:15:30,075
in most cases. You know, bangs, naughty bits may have been an

254
00:15:30,075 --> 00:15:33,710
exception. Right. The the you know, most of you like

255
00:15:33,710 --> 00:15:37,390
hanging out with us. That's why you're here. When either one of us are gone,

256
00:15:37,390 --> 00:15:40,510
we hear about that, those kinds of things. Welcome back when you're here. We missed

257
00:15:40,510 --> 00:15:44,014
you. That kind of stuff. You like hanging out with us. So

258
00:15:44,014 --> 00:15:47,635
be more than than gimmicks

259
00:15:47,774 --> 00:15:50,830
on your podcasts, be interesting.

260
00:15:51,530 --> 00:15:55,210
Be an approachable, interesting person who

261
00:15:55,210 --> 00:15:59,055
people like. And and I think and then and that's you, by the way, because

262
00:15:59,055 --> 00:16:02,815
you can't sustain that. You can't sustain a fake person very long. We have

263
00:16:02,815 --> 00:16:05,295
somebody who wants to chime you. We have somebody who wants to chime in on

264
00:16:05,295 --> 00:16:09,040
that. Glenn, go go right ahead, Glenn. Don't be boring.

265
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,800
There you go. Yeah. But no. Right on. Well and I would reverse that and

266
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,385
say, just be interesting. You know? Be interesting in your

267
00:16:16,385 --> 00:16:19,825
way. Be you. Be who you

268
00:16:19,825 --> 00:16:23,500
are. Yeah. The the one you'll attract to people who are interested in that, and

269
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:27,300
the ones that don't like it will go away, generally. Yeah. So yeah. I

270
00:16:27,540 --> 00:16:30,900
for the cake. Exact well, I don't know that I would add

271
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:34,024
slides. To me, that I think that's a step backwards. But

272
00:16:34,485 --> 00:16:37,925
Well, you know you try. Try it. Yeah. Try it. And then, you know what?

273
00:16:37,925 --> 00:16:40,964
Say, give him give me some feedback in the comments. Hey. I'm doing this thing

274
00:16:40,964 --> 00:16:44,730
new. I'm trying this on YouTube. Give me some feedback in the comments.

275
00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:48,070
It's if you don't get any comments or the numbers don't go up, just stop

276
00:16:48,070 --> 00:16:51,210
doing it because that's a that's a huge waste of time then at that point.

277
00:16:51,495 --> 00:16:55,275
I don't know many people who are putting on YouTube videos and lose

278
00:16:55,495 --> 00:16:59,335
just just to listen to them. So I, again, I I don't

279
00:16:59,335 --> 00:17:03,000
know. It depends on the audience. Well, that back to, you know, coach

280
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,760
Dave. I has to agree. My answer to this question is, it

281
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,300
kinda depends. Yeah. Yeah. As always, it does. I

282
00:17:11,005 --> 00:17:14,765
I was at Podcast Movement, and I'm I'm just

283
00:17:14,765 --> 00:17:18,125
so tired of YouTube because people are

284
00:17:18,125 --> 00:17:21,820
saying people are discovering video podcasts on YouTube.

285
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,180
And to me, a video podcast is a YouTube.

286
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,465
So they're saying, people are watching more YouTube on

287
00:17:29,465 --> 00:17:33,005
YouTube. And, oh, by the way, we're going to cure cancer.

288
00:17:33,465 --> 00:17:37,005
We are going to do your laundry. We will, you know,

289
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:41,160
free sexual favors to all. It's just it's YouTube will do everything.

290
00:17:41,540 --> 00:17:45,365
And I'm just like, no. Dan, here's one. Dan, I tried

291
00:17:45,365 --> 00:17:48,965
YouTube promotion thing for an episode just to see. Got rejected for

292
00:17:48,965 --> 00:17:52,805
being political for a war history episode. There's your

293
00:17:52,805 --> 00:17:56,299
algorithm. There's your brand safety. Congratulations.

294
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Ugh. Brand safety. Don't get me going. Let's see here. Speaking

295
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,715
of shorts, Jeff says, the king of creating shorts for

296
00:18:04,715 --> 00:18:08,555
podcast is at castahead. Yeah. Castahead.net, if I remember right. The

297
00:18:08,555 --> 00:18:11,950
one and only Chris Stone, member of the School of Podcasting. If you haven't checked

298
00:18:11,950 --> 00:18:15,790
out his channel, you need to I I, by the way, just embellish that. So

299
00:18:15,790 --> 00:18:18,850
some of that was Jeff and some of that was me. Chris does great work.

300
00:18:19,414 --> 00:18:22,934
Gary Stockton says, I like to mix up podcast interviewing using Stream

301
00:18:22,934 --> 00:18:26,554
Deck in Ecamm. The problem is he's not doing interviews. It's just Ralph,

302
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,440
being Ralph talking about taxes, and he changes on like, on

303
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,200
Wednesday, it's it's wacky Wednesday. And Sundays, he does something a little

304
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,895
more spiritual. And then here we go. I don't know who

305
00:18:37,895 --> 00:18:41,035
Ali Abdaal is, but according to Craig, he has great content

306
00:18:41,415 --> 00:18:44,715
and engaging editing. So here's the thing, though.

307
00:18:45,679 --> 00:18:48,960
I I think we see this a lot. And and tell me if I'm wrong.

308
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,720
It seems like we're not doing the Wayne Gretzky. Everybody knows the

309
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,465
the great Wayne Gretzky, the hockey guy. And he had this quote. They

310
00:18:56,465 --> 00:19:00,165
said, how how do you score so many points? And he goes,

311
00:19:00,465 --> 00:19:04,309
most people skate to the puck. I skate to

312
00:19:04,309 --> 00:19:08,150
where the puck is going to be. And so I think so

313
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:11,929
many of us see Ali Abdaal, and they're like, oh,

314
00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:15,675
this guy's famous. Look what he's doing. I'm gonna do what he's

315
00:19:15,675 --> 00:19:19,055
doing. So we're skating at the puck instead of,

316
00:19:19,595 --> 00:19:23,035
like, okay. That's gonna like, remember when audiograms first came

317
00:19:23,035 --> 00:19:26,530
out? We're like, oh, this is a everybody. Everybody do audiograms.

318
00:19:26,669 --> 00:19:30,270
Come on. Get on. This is the thing that's gonna give us 10,000 downloads. Come

319
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:33,285
on. On. And then all of a sudden, we all went, yeah. It's a squiggly

320
00:19:33,285 --> 00:19:37,125
line. Like, I'm in Ohio. We got the, the

321
00:19:37,125 --> 00:19:40,780
big eclipse thing coming up here. And, like, on the news, they're

322
00:19:40,780 --> 00:19:44,620
like, lock down the house. Thousands of people are coming here because it's

323
00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:47,920
gonna get dark in the middle of the afternoon. And I'm like, yeah. Okay.

324
00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:51,455
So, You know? But I I I had a thought.

325
00:19:51,835 --> 00:19:55,674
Oh, it's no big deal. Right? And No. It's just funny. It's gonna get dark

326
00:19:55,674 --> 00:19:59,480
in the middle of the afternoon. Is it? That's really I mean, because

327
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,760
to me, like, what is it? Well, the the the moon and the earth, and

328
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,195
all of a sudden about 3 o'clock is gonna get dark. And I'm like, and

329
00:20:06,195 --> 00:20:09,315
this is a big deal. I get it because it normally doesn't get dark in

330
00:20:09,315 --> 00:20:12,674
the middle of the afternoon, but I'm like, why are thousands of people

331
00:20:12,674 --> 00:20:16,340
driving from Florida to go to Ohio to put

332
00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:19,639
on how much money was made on the cheap sunglasses.

333
00:20:20,179 --> 00:20:24,019
And then, b, the forecast is it's going to be overcast, so

334
00:20:24,019 --> 00:20:27,545
we might not be able to see it. So that's kind of fun.

335
00:20:27,845 --> 00:20:31,605
But yeah. So give it a shot. You know, if you

336
00:20:31,605 --> 00:20:34,950
have the time, do it. I'm just not sure.

337
00:20:36,210 --> 00:20:39,890
And this is where like, that guy there with the editing. If people are

338
00:20:39,890 --> 00:20:43,735
losing subscribers unless that was it.

339
00:20:43,735 --> 00:20:47,095
There's one of the questions I I picked, I can't find it. The guy changed

340
00:20:47,095 --> 00:20:50,615
his background. Like, he changed from one office to another

341
00:20:50,615 --> 00:20:54,159
one. And he's like, I'm losing subscribers. And I'm

342
00:20:54,159 --> 00:20:58,000
like, so and I'm like, unless your background is a bunch

343
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,794
of backlight that is hard to look at or you've got blood and gut,

344
00:21:01,794 --> 00:21:05,475
something that's just disturbing to look at, I don't know that

345
00:21:05,475 --> 00:21:09,270
your background has a lot to do with to me,

346
00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:12,790
that is, again, icing. Now granted, when we eat cake, we

347
00:21:12,790 --> 00:21:16,545
eat we eat cake for the icing, but I just think some of

348
00:21:16,545 --> 00:21:19,905
this stuff I go, I don't think if if the cake is no

349
00:21:19,905 --> 00:21:23,620
good, if there's no good ingredients, you know, better

350
00:21:23,620 --> 00:21:26,520
ingredients, better pizza. Right? Papa John's. And I'm like

351
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:31,059
so I I I think sometimes we get focused. There were I'm here to tell

352
00:21:31,059 --> 00:21:34,315
you, there were no less than 10 questions about microphones.

353
00:21:34,934 --> 00:21:37,995
And I'm like, I I don't think that's it. You know?

354
00:21:38,934 --> 00:21:42,660
I do. I I've gotten a resurgence, excuse me, in questions

355
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,400
from folks about microphones lately. And I don't

356
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,065
know what caused it, but all of a sudden, everybody's like, hey. You've

357
00:21:50,065 --> 00:21:53,825
been talking for a long time about improving your sound by using a better

358
00:21:53,825 --> 00:21:57,585
microphone. Can you walk me through that process? So I wonder sometimes if

359
00:21:57,585 --> 00:22:01,260
those come in waves. Yeah. I think I think,

360
00:22:01,260 --> 00:22:04,860
Dave, give it a try. Like, I don't let

361
00:22:04,860 --> 00:22:08,644
us determine what your show becomes. You do it the way you

362
00:22:08,644 --> 00:22:11,044
wanna do it. Make it fun. If you wanna add the slides, if you think

363
00:22:11,044 --> 00:22:14,644
they add value and you get feedback that they do great, you get feedback

364
00:22:14,644 --> 00:22:18,100
that your background is causing people to be disengaged, well,

365
00:22:18,100 --> 00:22:21,940
consider changing your background. Here's the deal, though. You're never gonna please

366
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:25,625
everybody. So you're always gonna get somebody that says you know, I

367
00:22:25,705 --> 00:22:29,385
at work all the time. When I podcast from home, my audience likes

368
00:22:29,385 --> 00:22:33,090
this background. They tell me this all the time. And when I go to

369
00:22:33,090 --> 00:22:36,610
work, it's that gray. It says gallop. You know, it's like the corporate

370
00:22:36,610 --> 00:22:40,450
background that we put in. And my the guy who built the studio

371
00:22:40,450 --> 00:22:44,135
thought that would be super cool. And it does kinda look cool in person.

372
00:22:44,435 --> 00:22:47,955
Doesn't look great on camera, and the audience doesn't like it. And they tell

373
00:22:47,955 --> 00:22:51,650
me all the time. So I think we're gonna we're gonna change up the background

374
00:22:51,650 --> 00:22:55,410
there. It just looks a little sterile. You know? But you can't as

375
00:22:55,410 --> 00:22:59,170
you listen. You will chase your tail till the till the end

376
00:22:59,170 --> 00:23:02,995
of days if you try to make everybody happy

377
00:23:02,995 --> 00:23:06,675
and please everyone with the feedback. At some point, you just

378
00:23:06,675 --> 00:23:10,500
gotta do do what works for you and and, and let the chips fall.

379
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:14,179
Remind me of that later to talk about my I'm gonna re

380
00:23:14,340 --> 00:23:17,995
well, I'm I'm launching the one show about the website, and and that's

381
00:23:17,995 --> 00:23:21,195
fun. But they're saying in the chat here what they're doing. Ralph says, I do

382
00:23:21,195 --> 00:23:24,735
some interviews as well. Just did one with Mark from practicalprepping.info,

383
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,840
and he's done one with Craig. So what this would look like is this would

384
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,440
be ask the podcast coach where I do my thing. And then when Jim has

385
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,045
something to say, I do this. And then Jim talks,

386
00:23:36,185 --> 00:23:40,025
and then I talk, and then Jim talks. And then maybe occasionally do

387
00:23:40,025 --> 00:23:43,620
the split, and then back to Jim, you know, that whole 9 yards. And I

388
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:47,480
and what that does is it makes your brain you know, I'm I'm sure

389
00:23:47,780 --> 00:23:51,534
Chris again from castahead.net, there is a a

390
00:23:51,534 --> 00:23:54,975
thing that, like, the whole jump cut thing. Your brain goes, hey, what was that?

391
00:23:54,975 --> 00:23:58,740
What you know, so when all of a sudden something changes, all of a sudden

392
00:23:58,740 --> 00:24:02,580
your brain's like, wait. What? What's that? Holy cow. What? You know? So I

393
00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:05,960
get that it does help hold attention, but

394
00:24:06,905 --> 00:24:10,505
there is a part of me that goes, yeah, but I could sit here all

395
00:24:10,505 --> 00:24:14,299
day and go, blue. It's blue, I tell you. Let's talk

396
00:24:14,299 --> 00:24:18,140
about blue. It's one of my favorite colors. Actually, one of my favorite colors is

397
00:24:18,140 --> 00:24:21,905
black, but it's purple, and now it's blue. And you're like, yeah.

398
00:24:21,905 --> 00:24:25,745
If if the content is boring, it doesn't matter how much camera switching

399
00:24:25,745 --> 00:24:29,560
you do. It's you know? Again, what is it, Glenn? What

400
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,000
did you say? Don't be boring. Yeah. Don't be boring.

401
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,440
So I I think that's it. See? And, Chris, now we're making people

402
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,065
hungry. Chris is like, I want some red velvet cake. Me

403
00:24:40,065 --> 00:24:43,345
too. See, I'm not a fan of the red velvet. Oh, yeah. Give me chocolate

404
00:24:43,345 --> 00:24:47,040
all the time. Eat any cake right now. I'd eat any anything. And I hope

405
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,720
I am louder now. I am looking at VU meters, and according to the VU

406
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,560
meter on the RODECaster Pro Mini, whatever

407
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,105
the little baby one is, I'm actually louder than Jim now.

408
00:24:58,405 --> 00:25:02,085
So, What if there's a final out somewhere in

409
00:25:02,085 --> 00:25:05,700
the Ecamm that is misbalanced or something.

410
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:09,300
Because we get this feedback. Oh, you know what? I can check that here. Let's

411
00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:12,820
do that. Okay. So now you talk, Jim. Hello? 1, 2,

412
00:25:12,820 --> 00:25:14,895
3, 5, 7, 7. Am considerably lower. So let's turn

413
00:25:22,415 --> 00:25:25,910
interview channel. I am on the RODECaster deal chat. Sorry,

414
00:25:25,970 --> 00:25:29,810
people watching the video. There you go. There you go. More things. I

415
00:25:29,970 --> 00:25:33,745
as I say, more equipment, more problems. That's always fun.

416
00:25:33,885 --> 00:25:37,565
One thing that's happened for us is, YouTube shorts are

417
00:25:37,565 --> 00:25:40,925
driving new subscribers, so we'll continue to make short outtake

418
00:25:40,925 --> 00:25:44,560
videos. That seems to be the biggest reason to be

419
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,160
on YouTube now. And then this is the marketing strategy I

420
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,804
see is cut up YouTube shorts. I'm here to tell you

421
00:25:51,804 --> 00:25:55,565
anytime I click on shorts, how many shorts do you watch when you go

422
00:25:55,565 --> 00:25:59,390
to watch 1 YouTube shorts, Jim? Oh, a bunch. Yeah. A bunch. I

423
00:25:59,390 --> 00:26:02,610
click on 1, and I watch no less than 5.

424
00:26:03,550 --> 00:26:07,230
And it's usually about for me, it's that was a bad

425
00:26:07,230 --> 00:26:10,735
one. That was a bad one. Okay. What's the next

426
00:26:10,735 --> 00:26:14,575
one? I'm not really interested in the guitar right now. Next. And all of a

427
00:26:14,575 --> 00:26:18,020
sudden, I'd be like, nah. Okay. But if one of those hits, I'll be like,

428
00:26:18,020 --> 00:26:20,360
okay. It's there's a show

429
00:26:22,020 --> 00:26:25,815
on Netflix, and I was watching it because, a,

430
00:26:25,815 --> 00:26:29,654
again, word-of-mouth. Here, I don't want people to get bored. I'm gonna switch channels to

431
00:26:29,654 --> 00:26:33,490
me. I was watching it on, Netflix, and

432
00:26:33,490 --> 00:26:37,330
and it's called The Night Agent, and I like it. I

433
00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:40,530
had 3 people say, oh, that's a good show. You should watch it. I just

434
00:26:40,530 --> 00:26:43,585
got done bingeing it. And the whole number 1,

435
00:26:44,125 --> 00:26:47,485
it comes out and grabs you by the neck because you're like, wait. This guy

436
00:26:47,485 --> 00:26:51,320
works for the FBI, and there's, you know, they they have

437
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,720
a good opening scene to where you're like, wait, what's and that's the whole thing.

438
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,080
The whole thing is like, wait, what? Who is this guy? What's he

439
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,695
doing? It's the it's it's the whole thing is just, like, wanna know what

440
00:27:01,695 --> 00:27:05,455
happens next, and who is this, and why is this? And then I

441
00:27:05,455 --> 00:27:09,150
laughed because about 3 fourths the way through,

442
00:27:09,370 --> 00:27:13,130
you're like, okay. We're just getting to the story. And it turns

443
00:27:13,130 --> 00:27:16,925
out that his dad was accused of of being a traitor.

444
00:27:16,985 --> 00:27:20,585
His dad was in the FBI, and he wasn't a traitor. I'm like, okay. So

445
00:27:20,585 --> 00:27:24,250
we know along the line of the story, we're gonna figure out what really

446
00:27:24,250 --> 00:27:28,010
happened with his dad. And so anything that

447
00:27:28,010 --> 00:27:31,310
can get your audience, you know, here's a here's a little breadcrumb.

448
00:27:31,530 --> 00:27:35,075
Okay. Keep coming. Keep coming. Here's another little breadcrumb. Oh, but,

449
00:27:35,555 --> 00:27:39,235
now you need to know about that one. It's in terms of storytelling, I can

450
00:27:39,235 --> 00:27:42,840
see why people thought it was good, because you wanna know what happens next.

451
00:27:43,059 --> 00:27:46,519
And then this, they get in a situation

452
00:27:46,580 --> 00:27:50,315
where he's basically being someone's bodyguard, which I

453
00:27:50,315 --> 00:27:53,195
liked it the first time in the movie called what was it again? Oh, that's

454
00:27:53,195 --> 00:27:56,794
right. The bodyguard. Because it just it just so happens that he's

455
00:27:56,794 --> 00:27:59,850
extremely handsome, and the person that he is bodyguarding

456
00:28:00,550 --> 00:28:03,270
is is pretty attractive as well. So the whole time, you're like, oh, are we

457
00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:06,710
gonna do a moonlighting? And wonder the whole time, are they gonna hook up or

458
00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:10,495
not? And it just the whole time I'm laughing going, I really like this, and

459
00:28:10,495 --> 00:28:13,695
I know why I like this. I see what you're doing there. You're getting me

460
00:28:13,695 --> 00:28:17,509
wondering what's going on. And so if you need something to watch, it's

461
00:28:17,509 --> 00:28:21,210
it's fun, but it's and then you wonder, oh, is she gonna trust him?

462
00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:24,625
Because she doesn't know. It's yeah. Okay. Enough of that, Dave. We get it. But

463
00:28:24,785 --> 00:28:28,545
anytime you can anytime you can get your audience going, I wonder what

464
00:28:28,545 --> 00:28:32,225
happens next. Like, I'm sure with Dan on his show, when I've

465
00:28:32,225 --> 00:28:36,050
listened to it, he does a little bit of, like, wait. What? You know, that's

466
00:28:36,050 --> 00:28:39,650
information I couldn't get any place else. And I thought in the movie did this,

467
00:28:39,650 --> 00:28:43,375
and they're like, wait. Well, what's then what really happened? And so

468
00:28:43,375 --> 00:28:46,975
it gets you sucked in. So that's that's what gets people

469
00:28:46,975 --> 00:28:50,650
not that's what gets people talking about your content. I'm gonna I don't

470
00:28:50,650 --> 00:28:54,490
have the clip ready now, but in my, there's a guy named Rick

471
00:28:54,490 --> 00:28:58,155
Beato. Being a musician, I watch his stuff, and he will go

472
00:28:58,155 --> 00:29:01,755
in and, like, why is this song good? He talks a lot about the

473
00:29:01,755 --> 00:29:05,549
music business because he used to be a producer and how he

474
00:29:05,549 --> 00:29:09,230
did this one with a guy. And this is where I always wanna go remember

475
00:29:09,230 --> 00:29:12,909
people, Spotify is run by the music business. There there's a

476
00:29:12,909 --> 00:29:16,315
major ownership of that. And at one point, they're talking

477
00:29:16,315 --> 00:29:20,155
about how musicians come to them all the time. They're like, how do I

478
00:29:20,155 --> 00:29:23,990
get more listeners? How do I get more fans? And their answer

479
00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:27,670
was, make a extremely good record. Like,

480
00:29:27,670 --> 00:29:31,415
that's really where you gotta start. And nobody likes

481
00:29:31,415 --> 00:29:34,795
that answer. But, you know, I remember when

482
00:29:35,415 --> 00:29:38,395
did did you remember the the black album from Metallica?

483
00:29:39,299 --> 00:29:42,980
Mm-mm. No. That that's the one it had. You're not a Metallica person? No.

484
00:29:42,980 --> 00:29:46,740
When it came out, just the sound of it. The sound of that album was

485
00:29:46,740 --> 00:29:50,055
like it just sounded huge. It sounded like music

486
00:29:50,115 --> 00:29:53,895
Godzilla would walk into, and I was like, oh, this is amazing.

487
00:29:54,435 --> 00:29:57,555
And then I listened to it over and over and over, and everybody that liked

488
00:29:57,555 --> 00:30:01,230
that kind of music is like, have you got the Black Album yet? And, you

489
00:30:01,230 --> 00:30:04,909
know so here again, a really, really good album. So

490
00:30:05,230 --> 00:30:08,975
Well that helps. David, I think one of the things you know, you think

491
00:30:08,975 --> 00:30:12,654
about, taking a chance on your podcast,

492
00:30:12,654 --> 00:30:16,115
changing a format, doing something different, trying something Metallica. You know?

493
00:30:16,780 --> 00:30:20,539
Trying something new with it. And we we listen. The the

494
00:30:20,539 --> 00:30:24,380
examples we always pull from where that's super successful, you know, what do they say?

495
00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:28,144
History is written by the victors. Right? And sometimes

496
00:30:28,765 --> 00:30:32,445
what we think is best case or best scenario, they, of

497
00:30:32,445 --> 00:30:35,585
course, are always drawn in by those who were successful,

498
00:30:36,269 --> 00:30:39,950
but there have been plenty of attempts to do things that

499
00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:43,629
haven't been successful. New Coke is an example of one of

500
00:30:43,629 --> 00:30:47,275
those things where a multibillion dollar organization. Yeah. Did a whole

501
00:30:47,275 --> 00:30:51,115
bunch of research, thought they were doing the right thing,

502
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:54,635
were competing with Pepsi at the time, and thought, you know what? We're gonna do

503
00:30:54,635 --> 00:30:58,460
something. We've had an old formula, right, kind of thing. They honestly

504
00:30:58,460 --> 00:31:01,740
thought they were doing the right thing, you know, for for what they what they

505
00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:05,495
were doing, and it was terrible. And so but they learned. They brought

506
00:31:05,495 --> 00:31:09,035
the they brought original Coke back super fast.

507
00:31:09,175 --> 00:31:12,880
And and yeah. You just don't know. So I think you've

508
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,400
got to always be willing to try to, you

509
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,700
know, experiment, do things new, do something different,

510
00:31:20,245 --> 00:31:23,605
but also be able to go to pull back on something if it doesn't work.

511
00:31:23,605 --> 00:31:27,304
You know, you try something and you're like, yeah, this doesn't work

512
00:31:27,539 --> 00:31:31,380
to be able to, to backtrack and say, okay. Yeah. That that wasn't as

513
00:31:31,380 --> 00:31:35,195
good. But all that being said, if you're doing

514
00:31:35,195 --> 00:31:38,715
your podcast for you and things you like to

515
00:31:38,715 --> 00:31:42,414
do, your audience wants you to do something you don't wanna do,

516
00:31:42,554 --> 00:31:45,549
don't do it. You know? That's a

517
00:31:47,230 --> 00:31:50,909
stick with what you know, it's this it's this dance. At the end

518
00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:53,789
of the day, you have to decide what do I want out of this thing

519
00:31:53,789 --> 00:31:57,595
at the end of the day. Well, that's it. And here's an

520
00:31:57,595 --> 00:32:01,275
example. I cannot well, it's it's kind of weird. These are

521
00:32:01,275 --> 00:32:04,890
from Mark. Right? So we we kind of did this before where

522
00:32:04,890 --> 00:32:08,270
everybody said, hey, we like the artwork design. We just don't like the colors.

523
00:32:08,570 --> 00:32:11,530
So I sent out a form. I guess I could put this in the chat

524
00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:14,915
room as well, but I got 60 replies on

525
00:32:14,915 --> 00:32:18,515
this. Right? And so we've got blue. We've got red. We got

526
00:32:18,515 --> 00:32:21,710
white. We got one. I love the fact that the mouse is still hanging around.

527
00:32:21,710 --> 00:32:25,310
I was a big fan of the mouse. And the one that is winning the

528
00:32:25,310 --> 00:32:29,045
most right now, unfortunately, by 31%, is none

529
00:32:29,045 --> 00:32:32,845
of the above. Like, when they look at this and I was like, ah,

530
00:32:32,845 --> 00:32:36,365
crap. Sorry, Mark. Yeah. I was like, mhmm. Bummer. And

531
00:32:36,365 --> 00:32:39,750
so I I like the fact that this guy said, I like e,

532
00:32:40,050 --> 00:32:43,890
but with your name on the bottom, a blue stripe with white lettering. And whoever

533
00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:47,264
and that's not me, by the way, but that's my answer. I like the mousey

534
00:32:47,264 --> 00:32:50,304
thing. I would like to see the mouse, and this is probably one of my

535
00:32:50,304 --> 00:32:53,524
Excel Mark. Take the mousey example, which is e,

536
00:32:54,130 --> 00:32:57,250
and merge it with somehow if we can get I like the dark blue with

537
00:32:57,250 --> 00:33:00,690
the white letters. I think that looks cool. I'm not a huge fan of all

538
00:33:00,690 --> 00:33:03,905
the screens. I get it. And I do we need my name? Because if you

539
00:33:03,905 --> 00:33:07,745
think about it, the author of the podcast is gonna say Dave Jackson. So

540
00:33:07,745 --> 00:33:11,105
do we need it on the website? So I kinda like this or take

541
00:33:11,105 --> 00:33:14,900
this with the, the mouse and the your podcast website. Put

542
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:17,880
that over here, get rid of the screens, and put the gray on the bottom.

543
00:33:18,180 --> 00:33:22,005
And I think and here's the thing. On one hand, I've, for almost

544
00:33:22,005 --> 00:33:25,605
a month now, been asking people, what do they like? What do they

545
00:33:25,605 --> 00:33:29,125
like? Because the one that's getting the most that's not none of the

546
00:33:29,125 --> 00:33:32,870
above is d, which

547
00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:36,550
is this one. White background, blue. So

548
00:33:36,550 --> 00:33:40,034
red, white, and blue, basically. And but I just

549
00:33:40,255 --> 00:33:43,455
this is one of those where I'm like, yeah, but I really like the mouse.

550
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:46,560
I think the mouse is cute. I like the idea of the mouse. Thought if

551
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,680
we just made that dark blue on the background with like, if I combine this,

552
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,360
your website, with the mouse, I think I'm done. Because I

553
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,105
really wanna get this podcast going. I don't know.

554
00:33:57,164 --> 00:34:00,865
So here's my thoughts. The is it stupid then to ask your audience

555
00:34:00,924 --> 00:34:04,600
only to then ignore them? Because they I

556
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,820
this did rank okay. It's it's not you know,

557
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:12,040
unfortunately, none of the above is is winning, but this was

558
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,625
in, like, the top 3. And I was like, well, I don't

559
00:34:15,625 --> 00:34:19,304
know. I feel kind of silly. What if these if what if

560
00:34:19,304 --> 00:34:22,969
these were tight jeans? Like, tight or what are the skinny skinny

561
00:34:22,969 --> 00:34:26,170
pants? Is that what they call them? Skinny jeans? Skinny jeans. Here we go. And

562
00:34:26,170 --> 00:34:30,010
and your audience said to you, Dave, what we really wanna do is

563
00:34:30,010 --> 00:34:33,835
see you in skinny jeans all the time. And you are, like, I'm

564
00:34:33,835 --> 00:34:37,355
not gonna wear skinny jeans. Like, I'm not I'm not gonna the audience is, like

565
00:34:37,435 --> 00:34:40,735
but we would really love to to see you. In comparison. Yeah.

566
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,320
So I think, yeah, this is one of those cases for you too. At

567
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,080
the end of the day, you've gotta you gotta live with this logo. It may

568
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,875
not be the most popular one that the audience picked, but

569
00:34:52,875 --> 00:34:56,715
if you like it, I think go with it. If you if you're

570
00:34:56,715 --> 00:34:59,420
in a situation where, like, you know what, I can go with what the audience

571
00:34:59,420 --> 00:35:02,860
says. I don't particularly like it, but they did. Go that

572
00:35:02,860 --> 00:35:06,705
direction. I'm not sure it's a make or break for you. That's probably it. I'm

573
00:35:06,705 --> 00:35:09,925
not sure. You know what? Right. You nailed it, Jim Collison.

574
00:35:10,465 --> 00:35:14,085
This is I'd see. This is where you're too close to the trees

575
00:35:14,690 --> 00:35:18,530
to see the forest or however that stupid saying goes. This is a

576
00:35:18,530 --> 00:35:22,290
classic example of overthinking. Really. Because in

577
00:35:22,290 --> 00:35:25,885
the end you know what I mean? So, yeah, I just need to pull the

578
00:35:25,885 --> 00:35:29,325
trigger, go to town on that, and then we got some

579
00:35:29,325 --> 00:35:32,765
comments on this already. Where did Craig go? I had

580
00:35:32,765 --> 00:35:35,470
it. We did get some great stuff with,

581
00:35:36,430 --> 00:35:40,270
Well, again, on that logo, think about New Coke. Like, they

582
00:35:40,270 --> 00:35:43,964
had all these Yeah. Yeah. They had all these indicators that

583
00:35:43,964 --> 00:35:47,484
this is what people wanted, and they followed it, and then the

584
00:35:47,484 --> 00:35:51,240
people rebelled. And they said, you know? Yeah. It's

585
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:55,020
true. And so right? I mean but they did make a decision.

586
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,715
I mean, they could've they could've they know now. Right?

587
00:35:58,715 --> 00:36:02,555
Don't change the formula. They know that now. And and, yes, we've

588
00:36:02,715 --> 00:36:05,615
this is an example we always bring up, but it because it was huge.

589
00:36:06,609 --> 00:36:09,570
So I I think go with what you like. If you're comfortable with it, make

590
00:36:09,570 --> 00:36:12,369
that decision. I'm, like, go go with the audience or what I like. Then if

591
00:36:12,369 --> 00:36:15,744
you launched it and it was a terrible decision, you've got Mark's other

592
00:36:15,744 --> 00:36:18,944
things. You can always just swap it back out. Yeah. I could say, let's go

593
00:36:18,944 --> 00:36:22,484
back. Did you throw away that? Yeah. That's true. And I just

594
00:36:22,660 --> 00:36:26,500
I just had Craig's point. And this is something that

595
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:29,640
I am uncomfortable where'd it go?

596
00:36:30,435 --> 00:36:34,195
See, everybody's chatting. Here we go. Craig says Oh, they wanna see you in

597
00:36:34,195 --> 00:36:37,795
skinny jeans is what That's it. Of course. I wanna see me in skinny

598
00:36:37,795 --> 00:36:41,609
jeans. Well, we could go into a whole jeans tyrant,

599
00:36:41,609 --> 00:36:45,450
but I won't. Craig says your name reinforces your brand,

600
00:36:45,450 --> 00:36:49,295
and you're very very well known in the podcasting space. And this is

601
00:36:49,295 --> 00:36:53,135
something that my brain has a hard time grasping. I

602
00:36:53,135 --> 00:36:56,690
remember once I was in a mastermind, and he said, Dave, you know what your

603
00:36:56,690 --> 00:37:00,530
problem is? And I go, what? He goes, you don't know you're Dave Jackson. And

604
00:37:00,530 --> 00:37:04,369
I go, like, what? And, like, he goes, no, man. Like and I went

605
00:37:04,369 --> 00:37:07,875
to, Kevin Schmidlin had a a

606
00:37:07,875 --> 00:37:11,635
webinar, 4 hour thing on, you know, growing your podcast. And I I like

607
00:37:11,635 --> 00:37:15,200
Kevin. He's I I don't consider him competition because he's going after a completely

608
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,800
different audience guy. But I went in not for the content,

609
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,575
although the content towards the end, especially, the beginning was kind of, you

610
00:37:22,575 --> 00:37:26,415
know, stuff for everybody. Towards the end, it was some good stuff. I went

611
00:37:26,415 --> 00:37:30,010
in there to watch the chat room. I wanted to see what the questions

612
00:37:30,010 --> 00:37:33,550
were that people were getting. So because one, I think

613
00:37:33,610 --> 00:37:37,265
somebody he works with kind of went, why are you here? And I said, I'm

614
00:37:37,265 --> 00:37:41,025
just here to lurk. Like, I'm just really looking at the chat room. I

615
00:37:41,025 --> 00:37:44,660
would never poach Kevin's, you know, potential clients. I know people have

616
00:37:44,660 --> 00:37:48,340
come here to this this chat room and poached clients, and I think

617
00:37:48,340 --> 00:37:52,029
that's, oh, I want a curse. It's not nice to poach other

618
00:37:52,029 --> 00:37:55,851
people's clients, and and you will get banned for that if you openly do that.

619
00:37:55,851 --> 00:37:59,309
At least do what everybody else does and send them a DM. You know, you

620
00:37:59,309 --> 00:38:03,069
could always get your own show. But, anyway, that's a

621
00:38:03,069 --> 00:38:06,210
thought. But

622
00:38:08,065 --> 00:38:11,685
but I I love this rant. This is awesome. Yeah. So,

623
00:38:12,785 --> 00:38:16,599
but and I forget why I was talking about Kevin. Oh, crap. See,

624
00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:20,200
I I derailed myself. Sorry. My laughing threw you off.

625
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,025
No. Crap. What were we talking about? Oh, I was I went

626
00:38:24,025 --> 00:38:27,785
over there to to watch questions, not really to poach. Yeah.

627
00:38:27,785 --> 00:38:31,385
And going back to rebranding, since we're on I'll take

628
00:38:31,385 --> 00:38:34,810
rebranding for 200. I, I just did episode

629
00:38:34,810 --> 00:38:38,570
500. Somebody on the chat room were like, you were talking about this, Dave. Oh,

630
00:38:38,570 --> 00:38:42,170
thank you. I just did episode 500 of the podcast rodeo

631
00:38:42,170 --> 00:38:45,935
show. And for years, I've been saying that really needs rebranded.

632
00:38:46,315 --> 00:38:49,355
And then my audience was kinda like, no, no, it's fun. It's cute. I'm like,

633
00:38:49,355 --> 00:38:52,740
yeah. But in terms of, like, does it pass the Dave test, which

634
00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:55,940
is, hey, I'm doing a show called podcast rodeo show. What do you think it's

635
00:38:55,940 --> 00:38:59,539
about? And everybody goes, the rodeo? And I go, nope,

636
00:38:59,539 --> 00:39:03,214
sorry. That's not what it's about. And then I put on, like, first

637
00:39:03,214 --> 00:39:06,894
impression reviews, and I thought about it. I thought what I should rename the

638
00:39:06,894 --> 00:39:10,680
show is podcast hot seat. He's like, that's kinda that seems

639
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,799
to me I don't know. What do you think, Jim? Is that obvious enough? That

640
00:39:13,799 --> 00:39:17,345
sounds more like the hot wings show where they bring people on and eat hot

641
00:39:17,505 --> 00:39:21,345
wings to me. Like, they're on it's like a person on the hot seat. Well

642
00:39:21,425 --> 00:39:25,200
And I get it. I get what you're saying there. My thought. So we'll

643
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,960
we'll throw this out and brainstorm together. So

644
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,940
it's me, and then I bring on maybe 2

645
00:39:32,635 --> 00:39:36,395
tops 3, because this show is normally 15 minutes. So that's the first

646
00:39:36,395 --> 00:39:39,455
thing I have to get my head around. I'm blowing out the format.

647
00:39:40,130 --> 00:39:43,089
Right? And this used to be a short show that took no time. That was

648
00:39:43,089 --> 00:39:46,849
the whole premise of it. I'm not doing any research. I'm listening to 5

649
00:39:46,849 --> 00:39:49,325
minutes of your show and then saying this is what I liked and this is

650
00:39:49,325 --> 00:39:53,025
what I didn't. And as a marketing tool,

651
00:39:53,085 --> 00:39:56,445
it has failed miserably. It has brought 0 well, I shouldn't

652
00:39:56,445 --> 00:40:00,230
say maybe a handful of clients to the School of Podcasting.

653
00:40:00,369 --> 00:40:03,890
So, Dave, why did you keep on doing it? Because it was fun. Alright. Is

654
00:40:03,890 --> 00:40:07,375
it not fun as it used to be? Kinda. Because I I can't

655
00:40:07,375 --> 00:40:11,135
remember the last time I said I like this show. It's all like

656
00:40:11,214 --> 00:40:14,994
and, like, I just listened to LeBron James has a new pod a new podcast

657
00:40:15,290 --> 00:40:19,130
where his website is, of course, the YouTube. Right? There's

658
00:40:19,130 --> 00:40:22,570
no website for the actual podcast. I listened to 10 minutes of this

659
00:40:22,570 --> 00:40:26,215
thing and never heard the voice of LeBron James. So that

660
00:40:26,215 --> 00:40:29,994
got the old, like, hey. Now if you're if you're a basketball

661
00:40:30,055 --> 00:40:33,720
player and you wanna talk serious, like, level

662
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:37,099
3, like, podcast or basketball

663
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,025
strategy on how to play and how to guard, that's the show for

664
00:40:41,025 --> 00:40:44,725
you. I liked it for that. Like, early in, they started talking serious

665
00:40:45,105 --> 00:40:48,750
basketball jargon. But I just, like, I I I just seem

666
00:40:48,750 --> 00:40:52,030
like I'm I wanna get a T shirt that says curmudgeon on it because it

667
00:40:52,030 --> 00:40:55,410
just seems like everything I do is just, oh, here's that old guy.

668
00:40:55,724 --> 00:40:59,484
You know. So my thought was getting back to that, man, I'm really

669
00:40:59,484 --> 00:41:03,325
all over the place today. You are wound up. Yeah. Yeah. I like it.

670
00:41:03,325 --> 00:41:06,990
Well, I missed the show. Have maybe maybe 3 people,

671
00:41:06,990 --> 00:41:10,210
probably 2. So if we could listen to 10 minutes of each show,

672
00:41:10,430 --> 00:41:14,005
although and then so it'd be like this. Alright. Jim's here. You

673
00:41:14,005 --> 00:41:17,845
know, Ralph's here. Craig's here from Live Well and Flourish, and

674
00:41:17,845 --> 00:41:21,660
we're all gonna listen to each other's shows. So Jim has given me an episode,

675
00:41:21,660 --> 00:41:25,340
so we start listening to Home Gadget Geeks. And if for some reason you

676
00:41:25,340 --> 00:41:29,020
don't like it anymore, maybe I'd have to figure out. Maybe you you turn off

677
00:41:29,020 --> 00:41:32,605
your camera if that was easy to do or something. That would be your way

678
00:41:32,605 --> 00:41:36,204
of going. Right? But as long as there are people and then

679
00:41:36,204 --> 00:41:39,990
eventually, when I determine, you know, it's enough of that, we're

680
00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:43,349
5, 10 minutes in, then we stop and I ask you, Jim,

681
00:41:43,349 --> 00:41:47,025
okay. On a scale from 1 to 10, what would you give the audio? On

682
00:41:47,025 --> 00:41:50,705
a scale then, you know, Jim, you you turned off your camera at,

683
00:41:50,945 --> 00:41:54,720
maybe there's something they hold up, a buzzer. I don't know something. And, you

684
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:58,500
know, you turned off your buzzer about 2 minutes in. What made you

685
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,840
bail? And then you could say, I don't know. I just wasn't getting anything out

686
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,355
of it. Blah blah blah. Okay. Was there anything you liked about so we basically

687
00:42:05,355 --> 00:42:08,635
then all go around and say, this is what I liked about the show. And

688
00:42:08,635 --> 00:42:12,210
if there is something that you would change, what would it then be? And

689
00:42:12,210 --> 00:42:15,890
so then, Jim Jim comments on it. I

690
00:42:15,890 --> 00:42:19,410
comment it, and the other person comment. The person who show is just

691
00:42:19,410 --> 00:42:22,945
listening. Then we go to, you know, Ralph Show, and we listen a

692
00:42:22,945 --> 00:42:26,705
little of ask the Ralph ask ralphpodcast.com, and then

693
00:42:26,705 --> 00:42:30,500
Jim comments on it. You know, Lisa comments on it. I comment it.

694
00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:34,339
Ralph listens. Repeat. Repeat. What's good? What's bad? Audio. Did you

695
00:42:34,339 --> 00:42:37,240
listen to the whole thing? And so you end up with

696
00:42:37,975 --> 00:42:41,735
4 podcast reviews. This would be done live on YouTube and

697
00:42:41,735 --> 00:42:45,435
then later turned into a podcast. What say you, Jim Collison?

698
00:42:45,495 --> 00:42:49,109
That's so here's what I'm thinking. A, it'd be I think it would be

699
00:42:49,109 --> 00:42:52,950
good YouTube content even though, you know, we're not well, we

700
00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:56,710
could. We could switch the serenes every time somebody talks just to keep people

701
00:42:56,710 --> 00:43:00,525
awake. So it'd be a live show. It's kind of the gong

702
00:43:00,525 --> 00:43:04,145
show in a way without putting the word gong in there.

703
00:43:04,690 --> 00:43:08,450
And in and then here's Ralph. I I threw this idea out, and Ralph

704
00:43:08,450 --> 00:43:11,650
said what you should do because originally, I was gonna charge people to be on

705
00:43:11,650 --> 00:43:15,405
a panel because you're getting your podcast reviewed. Ralph said what you should

706
00:43:15,405 --> 00:43:18,585
do is anybody that agrees to be a panelist

707
00:43:19,205 --> 00:43:22,805
gets a free week, gets a free month, something at the School of

708
00:43:22,805 --> 00:43:26,590
Podcasting. And I went, That's

709
00:43:26,790 --> 00:43:30,550
because now, instead of hoping they join the school of

710
00:43:30,550 --> 00:43:34,155
podcasting, you just throw them in for free

711
00:43:34,375 --> 00:43:38,055
and then see how long they stick around. And I went, then talk about playing

712
00:43:38,055 --> 00:43:40,775
with something? I was like, I would like to test that one just to see

713
00:43:40,775 --> 00:43:43,589
how it would work. But I've talked a lot. Now I'm gonna shut up, and

714
00:43:43,589 --> 00:43:46,950
I'm gonna switch Jim to a solo show so he can answer. Oh, don't don't

715
00:43:46,950 --> 00:43:50,329
make me solo. I'm not I'm not comfortable solo.

716
00:43:52,075 --> 00:43:55,755
There's a I see a few problems in that kind of format. Well, one

717
00:43:55,755 --> 00:43:59,480
is Timing. In a review form. We no. No.

718
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,160
I think all that I actually, I think the way you go you're going

719
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,920
about it isn't as important as the why and and the who in

720
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,375
this case. So listen, people want a people want

721
00:44:10,375 --> 00:44:14,055
your opinion because you've been podcasting, you know,

722
00:44:14,055 --> 00:44:17,835
forever, and you've got, you know, you you this is what you do. Right?

723
00:44:18,230 --> 00:44:21,050
So you have a you've you've got a reputation.

724
00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:25,750
If you have other podcasters come on whom they may or may not know,

725
00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:29,494
they may have not signed up for those folks. They don't know who

726
00:44:29,494 --> 00:44:33,035
they are nor do they really value their opinion. And so I'm not sure

727
00:44:33,734 --> 00:44:37,520
that a rotating panel of

728
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,280
podcasters is all that helpful. Listen. If you're doing this,

729
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,095
the Gong show worked not it worked because it

730
00:44:45,095 --> 00:44:48,934
was entertainment, not helpful. Mhmm. They no one

731
00:44:48,934 --> 00:44:52,714
was no one was on the Gong show to improve their comedy

732
00:44:52,790 --> 00:44:56,550
or improve their music. It was just it was

733
00:44:56,550 --> 00:45:00,010
entertainment. Right? And they picked people on there

734
00:45:00,310 --> 00:45:04,105
to to be because in the at the end of the day, it was pure

735
00:45:04,105 --> 00:45:07,885
entertainment. I think you're trying to blend entertainment

736
00:45:08,025 --> 00:45:11,660
with helpfulness, and I'm not sure those 2

737
00:45:11,660 --> 00:45:15,170
go together. This is why the rodeo show has a weird rub. It does have

738
00:45:15,170 --> 00:45:18,994
a weird rub. Yeah. Because you're trying to be

739
00:45:18,994 --> 00:45:22,515
entertaining and interesting and helping people at the same

740
00:45:22,515 --> 00:45:26,270
time. And I don't know if those all work together.

741
00:45:26,270 --> 00:45:30,030
Right? I don't know if that's a cocktail that you wanna mix up on a

742
00:45:30,030 --> 00:45:33,790
regular basis. I think having a show where you bring people

743
00:45:33,790 --> 00:45:37,375
on to have a had to have a very serious conversation about the oops,

744
00:45:37,375 --> 00:45:40,355
sorry, about the quality of their of their podcast,

745
00:45:41,055 --> 00:45:44,850
is very valid. I think having a show

746
00:45:44,850 --> 00:45:48,070
where you make fun of other podcasts is very entertaining.

747
00:45:48,610 --> 00:45:52,194
I don't think you can mix the 2 together. Right? I that that

748
00:45:52,355 --> 00:45:56,115
my my personal opinion. No. That's a good well, that's always been you hit the

749
00:45:56,115 --> 00:45:59,680
nail on the head is when I first

750
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,440
started, I was tired when I was doing it, and I was much more

751
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,660
honest than I am now. I I now literally will take

752
00:46:07,565 --> 00:46:11,405
15 seconds to kinda come up where before I was just right, you

753
00:46:11,405 --> 00:46:14,685
know. And that's one of the situations where just because you think it doesn't mean

754
00:46:14,685 --> 00:46:18,420
you should say it. And so I still I still give honest

755
00:46:18,420 --> 00:46:22,260
opinion like LeBron James got the I'm like, dude, I'm 10 minutes in. I haven't

756
00:46:22,260 --> 00:46:25,905
heard LeBron James yet. I'm like, what the heck? I tuned in to hear LeBron,

757
00:46:26,045 --> 00:46:29,665
not some guy talk about what LeBron thinks. I'm like, that that was kinda

758
00:46:29,885 --> 00:46:33,359
crappy, but I think you hit the nail on the head. What's the goal of

759
00:46:33,359 --> 00:46:37,119
the show? The goal of the show is to drive members to the school

760
00:46:37,119 --> 00:46:40,180
of podcasting. Is that gonna work?

761
00:46:40,485 --> 00:46:44,325
Because and Larry had a great point. He said, he has a

762
00:46:44,325 --> 00:46:48,025
mastermind, and he was saying they just removed the hot seat

763
00:46:48,369 --> 00:46:52,049
because, you know, people are pooping on their art. And that's

764
00:46:52,049 --> 00:46:55,890
not really as much as you should let people poop on your art because

765
00:46:55,890 --> 00:46:59,665
how is it gonna get better? But on the other hand,

766
00:46:59,665 --> 00:47:03,265
you know, if it's it it might kind of especially in a

767
00:47:03,265 --> 00:47:07,070
mastermind where you're trying to build community and somebody's honest and

768
00:47:07,070 --> 00:47:10,910
said, I don't know. I just was kinda bored, you know. Yeah. Here he is.

769
00:47:10,910 --> 00:47:14,295
He says, we just eliminated the hot seat from our mastermind due to negative

770
00:47:14,295 --> 00:47:18,055
emotions people were having towards being in it. Yeah. And that's where

771
00:47:18,055 --> 00:47:21,275
you you need to find just like any mastermind,

772
00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:25,210
you need the right people. And that's where,

773
00:47:26,230 --> 00:47:29,510
you know, it it would be people have to know. This is what's going in.

774
00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:33,335
Like and, unfortunately, all think about a review is gonna be, oh, they're just

775
00:47:33,335 --> 00:47:37,015
gonna rip my podcast to shreds. And I'm like, well, not if

776
00:47:37,015 --> 00:47:40,710
there's not anything to rip to shreds. You know what I mean? But, like, I

777
00:47:40,710 --> 00:47:44,410
I was, working with a member of the school of podcasting last night.

778
00:47:44,950 --> 00:47:48,625
And this isn't wrong. It's just, it's something to think about.

779
00:47:48,685 --> 00:47:51,905
But at the end, he pointed people towards his patreon.com/whatever.

780
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,440
And then he pointed people towards facebook@facebook.com/whatever. I

781
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:01,060
said, I would reverse those and go, hey, if you wanna join our community,

782
00:48:01,305 --> 00:48:05,065
go to my website.com/community. If you wanna join our

783
00:48:05,065 --> 00:48:08,825
our Patreon, if you wanna join if you wanna be a supporter, like, we go,

784
00:48:08,825 --> 00:48:12,410
ask the podcast coach.com/support. So that was my

785
00:48:12,410 --> 00:48:16,010
negative feedback. You know, I said the audio was

786
00:48:16,010 --> 00:48:18,670
good. He he he did one thing where he was asking

787
00:48:19,535 --> 00:48:23,295
somebody about their divorce, and it's kinda sensitive. Right? We're,

788
00:48:23,295 --> 00:48:26,835
like, going, maybe this guy doesn't wanna talk about this. So what he did

789
00:48:27,420 --> 00:48:31,260
was he shared a vulnerable story first. And

790
00:48:31,260 --> 00:48:35,100
I'm like, that's absolutely, like that's the blueprint. If you want

791
00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:38,925
your audience to be vulnerable, if you want your guest

792
00:48:38,925 --> 00:48:42,464
to be vulnerable, then you should kind

793
00:48:42,925 --> 00:48:46,580
of demonstrate that, and he did. The show is, around the

794
00:48:46,580 --> 00:48:50,420
layout. Dot com is his website. It's a show it's a show. Talk

795
00:48:50,420 --> 00:48:54,195
about a niche. It's a show for people that are into

796
00:48:54,575 --> 00:48:58,415
model trains, and they are deep into it. And all it is in

797
00:48:58,415 --> 00:49:01,295
fact, you'll hear me talk about this on the next episode of The School of

798
00:49:01,295 --> 00:49:05,119
Podcasting. Like, Jim, what's a like,

799
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:08,720
you you smoke cigars. So, like, you hang out with Ed Yeah. And Dave.

800
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:12,480
Yeah. And you guys talk about cigars. And and suddenly, you're not surrounded

801
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,974
by people like, oh, they stink. Oh, I hate it. Like, no. You're on people

802
00:49:15,974 --> 00:49:18,375
that are like, oh, I love that. Have you ever smoked this type or that

803
00:49:18,375 --> 00:49:22,089
type? So it's model trains, but it's a whole bunch

804
00:49:22,089 --> 00:49:25,849
of people that love model trains. And so that's one of

805
00:49:25,849 --> 00:49:29,315
the benefits of that that show. But he was the guy who was like, oh,

806
00:49:29,395 --> 00:49:32,375
you know, I said, no. Make that, around the layout

807
00:49:33,315 --> 00:49:36,915
dot com slash, you know, community. Around the layout dot com slash

808
00:49:36,915 --> 00:49:39,980
support. So sometimes now

809
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,380
some people might go, thank you so much. I had a guy,

810
00:49:44,655 --> 00:49:48,494
new member of the School of Podcasting, met him at podcast movement, so that was

811
00:49:48,494 --> 00:49:52,095
awesome, but the name of Vishal was his name. And I

812
00:49:52,095 --> 00:49:55,590
go, if people don't know you, they don't know what the it'd be like, you

813
00:49:55,590 --> 00:49:59,130
know, oh, it's the it's it's the Jeff, you know,

814
00:49:59,190 --> 00:50:02,705
Jamango show. Right? Well, if you don't know who Jeff Jamango

815
00:50:02,705 --> 00:50:06,465
is, then I'm not really wanting to click on that. I said, you need

816
00:50:06,465 --> 00:50:10,005
a tagline. And he's act and he's got an amazing show already.

817
00:50:10,309 --> 00:50:13,750
It's about church planting. And so his

818
00:50:13,750 --> 00:50:17,529
audience is not only there's an example of they know his why,

819
00:50:17,670 --> 00:50:21,335
like, why he's doing the show. And then he said, yeah. Last year, somebody

820
00:50:21,335 --> 00:50:25,015
donated $65,000 to his podcast. I was

821
00:50:25,015 --> 00:50:28,635
like, that is a because of my podcast story, my friend. Holy cow.

822
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,000
But he didn't have a tagline. I go, you need a tagline because if people

823
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,840
search for your show, unless they know who you are, they're not going

824
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,305
to, you know, find you. Randy says about

825
00:50:39,305 --> 00:50:42,745
mastermind groups. Many mastermind groups have no clue how to facilitate being

826
00:50:42,745 --> 00:50:46,530
helpful. They jump to tell mode and should and should

827
00:50:46,530 --> 00:50:50,130
mode instead of helping others figure it out for themselves. There you

828
00:50:50,130 --> 00:50:52,790
go. Wise man, Randy Cantrell.

829
00:50:54,245 --> 00:50:57,525
Dave, you know so as you've been talking about this, I've been thinking about, like,

830
00:50:57,525 --> 00:51:01,225
what would I do? What would I do differently? Is your you're contemplating.

831
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,700
Now listen. You're contemplating the format of this, and so you're open to suggestions.

832
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,280
I'm not coming out of the blue and saying, you know, I've told you I'm

833
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,128
uncomfortable with that rodeo show because it's It's I was gonna kill it. I

834
00:51:13,128 --> 00:51:16,928
was like, 500. You know what? We're done. I'm gonna start this other

835
00:51:16,928 --> 00:51:20,630
show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. I I I think it comes

836
00:51:20,630 --> 00:51:24,470
from a motive. The motives are good. I think the the execution for me

837
00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:28,085
was for me, was it was just it was too confrontational.

838
00:51:28,385 --> 00:51:31,984
I can't take that confrontational format, you know,

839
00:51:31,984 --> 00:51:34,980
the the jackass stuff. The Right. You know, the

840
00:51:35,540 --> 00:51:39,220
even candid camera was a little bit now it's going way back. Is it

841
00:51:39,220 --> 00:51:42,740
was a little bit right you know, too con too confrontational for

842
00:51:42,740 --> 00:51:46,525
me. I say that tongue in cheek, cheek, of course. But, you know, what you

843
00:51:46,525 --> 00:51:50,285
could do is so you got a podcaster that wants a review or you're doing

844
00:51:50,285 --> 00:51:53,950
a review on. Are you you're not. You were just randomly picking these.

845
00:51:53,950 --> 00:51:57,630
Right? These weren't you weren't working with people. Here's the thing where

846
00:51:57,630 --> 00:52:01,285
it's probably a pricing issue because I was just having fun. It's

847
00:52:01,285 --> 00:52:04,904
$5 to get reviewed. I just didn't wanna do it for free.

848
00:52:05,285 --> 00:52:08,645
So I made it $5. Isn't everybody would do it? What you would think.

849
00:52:08,645 --> 00:52:12,270
Right? But it's I I've had it's $5. It might as well be

850
00:52:12,270 --> 00:52:15,950
free. And I still don't have people signing up. There's no line

851
00:52:15,950 --> 00:52:19,665
there. And I went, okay. So, you know okay. So what? Either

852
00:52:19,665 --> 00:52:23,505
raise the price on that because they they say there's no perceived value probably.

853
00:52:23,505 --> 00:52:25,825
That would be my that if I was coaching me and be like, oh, you

854
00:52:25,825 --> 00:52:29,109
need to raise your price. People think this is crap because it's only $5.

855
00:52:29,569 --> 00:52:32,849
So I see The goal was the goal was always to drive people to School

856
00:52:32,849 --> 00:52:35,809
of Podcasting. Right? Like, if you need it the goal on this? Yeah. It was

857
00:52:35,809 --> 00:52:39,455
like, hey. If you don't even have a podcast, you know, come visit me, school

858
00:52:39,455 --> 00:52:42,255
of podcasting.com, kinda thing. And so I

859
00:52:43,375 --> 00:52:47,220
so I think what you you could try Yeah. Pick this pick

860
00:52:47,220 --> 00:52:50,740
this is so you get a podcast. Somebody wants this kind of

861
00:52:50,740 --> 00:52:54,515
review. Have them do some of the homework and say, hey. Present to me,

862
00:52:54,515 --> 00:52:58,035
give me your your best show, and tell me 3

863
00:52:58,035 --> 00:53:01,494
points in the show that you think where you're the best,

864
00:53:01,940 --> 00:53:05,000
at, like, where you're the strongest in this,

865
00:53:05,620 --> 00:53:08,740
then they'll give you those, you know, they can give you those timestamps and you

866
00:53:08,740 --> 00:53:12,235
go listen. You're gonna listen to the show anyways. Then you could go through

867
00:53:12,435 --> 00:53:15,715
in the first half of the show, you could you could critique those best

868
00:53:16,595 --> 00:53:20,170
and not from a not trying to tear them down, but trying to build them

869
00:53:20,170 --> 00:53:23,609
up. People love to hear, like, what we do here on the show. I mean,

870
00:53:23,609 --> 00:53:26,715
we do some tearing down. But we're trying to we're trying to build people up.

871
00:53:26,715 --> 00:53:30,395
Right? We're trying to encourage people to do this. So build them up. Hey.

872
00:53:30,395 --> 00:53:33,995
Let me play this clip, then you could do a little coaching. Hey. Why why

873
00:53:33,995 --> 00:53:37,610
did you you submitted this. What did you think? Then you could say, here's what

874
00:53:37,610 --> 00:53:41,450
I think. I think in the midst of that conversation, because you've listened to the

875
00:53:41,450 --> 00:53:45,194
show, you could also spend some time pulling out

876
00:53:45,194 --> 00:53:49,035
some things that aren't working so well. It it puts a more positive spin

877
00:53:49,035 --> 00:53:52,750
on it as opposed to coming out and it being like

878
00:53:52,750 --> 00:53:56,510
that that they get some they get a little input on what you talk

879
00:53:56,510 --> 00:54:00,289
about, but you still get the opportunity to work with them

880
00:54:00,694 --> 00:54:04,375
and show people, like, that you've got an opinion on

881
00:54:04,375 --> 00:54:08,180
some of these things and that you can talk positively about it. I bet

882
00:54:08,180 --> 00:54:11,940
I bet you get a lot more people to listen to something that

883
00:54:11,940 --> 00:54:15,619
way that they know because they know they're coming in and the

884
00:54:15,619 --> 00:54:19,405
person's not on the hot seat. They're gonna be encouraged for

885
00:54:19,405 --> 00:54:22,845
the best 3 spots in the show. Then you can still coach them. You know,

886
00:54:22,845 --> 00:54:26,204
it's the it's the, what, the the, the criticism sandwich.

887
00:54:26,204 --> 00:54:29,930
Right? Something good, something bad, something

888
00:54:29,930 --> 00:54:33,470
good. Right. And I I think it gives you it may give you the opportunity

889
00:54:33,529 --> 00:54:36,845
for a little more constructive, a little more positive.

890
00:54:37,225 --> 00:54:40,985
I don't know. Thoughts on that? What do you think? I I definitely agree. I

891
00:54:40,985 --> 00:54:44,685
always try even if it's a horrible show, on the rodeo show,

892
00:54:45,020 --> 00:54:47,660
the first thing I'll say then because I always try to start off with, here's

893
00:54:47,660 --> 00:54:51,359
what I liked. And if it's horrible, if it's tremendously

894
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:55,944
bad audio, like, it's just bad. It's just like it's it's like you

895
00:54:55,944 --> 00:54:59,785
should stop podcasting bad. I will say the good news is

896
00:54:59,785 --> 00:55:03,085
while many people have been thinking about doing a podcast for years,

897
00:55:03,530 --> 00:55:07,290
you actually pressed record. So kudos for that. That's good. I'm

898
00:55:07,290 --> 00:55:10,330
glad you're up and running. Now let's see if we can shape this a little

899
00:55:10,330 --> 00:55:13,070
more effectively, and then I'll go into them.

900
00:55:13,965 --> 00:55:17,505
I I just don't think outing people, and I know you're not doing that intentionally.

901
00:55:17,565 --> 00:55:21,325
Right. I just don't think out some people really like that. I don't

902
00:55:21,325 --> 00:55:25,050
think most people do. No. I think I think You

903
00:55:25,050 --> 00:55:28,890
know, there are folks who can tolerate that. I can't. I I can't

904
00:55:28,890 --> 00:55:32,675
I can't watch people be embarrassed that way. Yeah. I just can't. I

905
00:55:32,675 --> 00:55:35,955
could I could barely this is serious. I could barely watch The Office at times

906
00:55:35,955 --> 00:55:39,715
because it was so embarrassing, some of the things people would

907
00:55:39,715 --> 00:55:43,460
do. You know? And it it's just maybe sometimes it hits too close to

908
00:55:43,460 --> 00:55:46,599
home. Well, and So and now you're really leading me to think,

909
00:55:47,619 --> 00:55:51,285
maybe I should just shut her down. I really like, it you know, it's like

910
00:55:51,285 --> 00:55:54,164
this this really isn't geared to do, you know

911
00:55:54,885 --> 00:55:58,585
Chris says Does it match the does it match the goal? My brand. Yeah.

912
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:02,420
Yeah. Because I almost shut it down once. Yeah. Chris says, SWOT

913
00:56:02,420 --> 00:56:05,940
analysis. I like that. And then there are people like this.

914
00:56:05,940 --> 00:56:09,775
John Jamango says, having Dave Jackson telling my podcast

915
00:56:09,775 --> 00:56:13,535
dinks would break my heart. See, again, this is where, to me, it's just an

916
00:56:13,535 --> 00:56:17,360
opinion, and then other people go, no. No. You're Dave Jackson. I'm

917
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,880
like, yeah. I'm just a dude. And they're like, you know, Chris, again,

918
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,694
strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, you know, that whole 9

919
00:56:24,694 --> 00:56:28,375
yards. Right. That's a slot. Yeah. Yep. No. You could go that. I I just

920
00:56:28,375 --> 00:56:31,810
really think it comes at the intention. Are you trying to help the person, or

921
00:56:31,810 --> 00:56:34,770
are you trying to out the person? Yeah. I'm I'm always trying to help. It

922
00:56:34,770 --> 00:56:37,970
may sound like I'm trying to out them. Yeah. It it

923
00:56:39,175 --> 00:56:42,775
yeah. It would it would yeah. See, that's exactly the same

924
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:46,535
thing. That reaction, Craig says, good teachers always lead with praise

925
00:56:46,535 --> 00:56:50,030
before speaking about the negative stuff. No. But the fact that

926
00:56:50,030 --> 00:56:53,550
we're all kinda going, well, it's

927
00:56:53,550 --> 00:56:56,610
tricky. And you really need the right people

928
00:56:57,385 --> 00:57:00,905
to do that. Dave just run my podcasting hopes and dreams many years

929
00:57:00,905 --> 00:57:04,665
ago when I first got started. And Larry ignored everything I said,

930
00:57:04,665 --> 00:57:08,410
and he is kicking butt and taking names right now. So although if I

931
00:57:08,410 --> 00:57:12,170
remember right, Larry had a show. It was like everything about everything. I forget

932
00:57:12,170 --> 00:57:15,050
the name of it. But it was just I wanna talk about whatever I wanna

933
00:57:15,050 --> 00:57:18,744
talk about. And I was kinda like, shouldn't there be a theme in here somewhere?

934
00:57:18,744 --> 00:57:22,585
But, you know and, of course, all you needed to do, and it's

935
00:57:22,585 --> 00:57:26,240
brilliant. It really is. You talk about we all think we have to

936
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,520
write our name in the sky or something like that. Larry put on a red

937
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,365
hat and invented Red Hat Media, and it's I'm

938
00:57:33,365 --> 00:57:37,045
here to tell you, it's it's like genius. Because if I go to an

939
00:57:37,045 --> 00:57:40,390
event and I walk into a room and there's 800 people and I see a

940
00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:43,990
red hat, I instantly know that's Larry, and it's not some

941
00:57:43,990 --> 00:57:47,565
MAGA guy. Like, I because also Larry's tall. And

942
00:57:47,565 --> 00:57:51,325
so is the minute I see a tall it was, yeah, really random was the

943
00:57:51,325 --> 00:57:54,445
name of the show. And I was kind of like, do we all, you know,

944
00:57:54,445 --> 00:57:58,050
and there are people. That's a that's a niche, by the way. The

945
00:57:58,050 --> 00:58:01,890
niche is I want multiple topics. That's a niche. I've

946
00:58:01,890 --> 00:58:05,270
had people, like, I can't pick 1. But Larry's red hat

947
00:58:05,565 --> 00:58:09,405
is genius because I know right where he is, everything in

948
00:58:09,405 --> 00:58:13,165
his marketing material, you know, he'll have a picture of him in in

949
00:58:13,165 --> 00:58:16,829
black and white, but his hat is still red. So, you know,

950
00:58:16,829 --> 00:58:20,670
consequently, I'm gonna start wearing a, a graduation robe to

951
00:58:22,924 --> 00:58:26,224
a and a blue hat, you know, blue you know, I could do that. Sure.

952
00:58:26,365 --> 00:58:30,144
Dan says says nothing wrong with going on hiatus to give you some time

953
00:58:30,204 --> 00:58:33,430
away from it and see if I miss it. That's not a bad idea.

954
00:58:33,970 --> 00:58:37,410
But I just the the more we talk about this, the more I'm like, you

955
00:58:37,410 --> 00:58:41,170
know what? I'm not sure this works. You know what I mean? Without the right

956
00:58:41,170 --> 00:58:44,734
people, I need people willing to because, you know

957
00:58:45,755 --> 00:58:49,435
and and and the thing is, again, most of the shows

958
00:58:49,435 --> 00:58:53,180
have something to improve on. I mean, the

959
00:58:53,180 --> 00:58:56,780
school of podcasting can improve. I'm always one of my mantras is

960
00:58:56,780 --> 00:59:00,080
constant improvement. You know? Randy says,

961
00:59:00,464 --> 00:59:03,905
the podcast rodeo show is one of my immediate listens. I know that I will

962
00:59:03,905 --> 00:59:07,744
either find a good podcast to listen to, like living up in a down world,

963
00:59:07,744 --> 00:59:11,560
or a bad one to avoid. Yep. It is kind of that. And there are

964
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,400
plenty of people that will eat well, I've and I

965
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,760
always play this. So when somebody's like, hey. You missed the boat. Because I listen

966
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,255
to 1. I because I've been reviewing popular shows

967
00:59:22,795 --> 00:59:26,555
that, like, if I don't get somebody in that's why I re reviewed LeBron's

968
00:59:26,555 --> 00:59:30,180
show because people are looking for that show, And so then they'll find mine.

969
00:59:30,319 --> 00:59:33,599
And I've had people say, yeah, you missed the boat. You gave that one the

970
00:59:33,599 --> 00:59:36,960
old and if you would listen to another 4 minutes, they hook you in. I'm

971
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,474
like, yeah, but I'm not listening to 20 minutes of a show to to do

972
00:59:40,555 --> 00:59:44,234
it's a first impression thing. And I don't know. So it's it's

973
00:59:44,234 --> 00:59:47,770
something to to think about. Well,

974
00:59:47,770 --> 00:59:51,250
this is you know, the chat room is a great example of

975
00:59:51,530 --> 00:59:54,830
there's some folks who love that show. There's others who don't.

976
00:59:55,145 --> 00:59:58,985
Well, do if you you can't listen to everybody Right. Are

977
00:59:58,985 --> 01:00:02,745
you you know, is it fulfilling the needs and the purpose and the

978
01:00:02,745 --> 01:00:06,589
mission of what you intended it to do? I gave you know,

979
01:00:06,730 --> 01:00:10,190
my advice was I think it's a mixed message, but you

980
01:00:10,410 --> 01:00:14,214
you ultimately have to decide what you what

981
01:00:14,214 --> 01:00:17,974
you want that to be. It's not my decision. It's yours. Yeah. I I I

982
01:00:17,974 --> 01:00:21,720
do think, you know, if the if the goal was to to provide

983
01:00:21,859 --> 01:00:25,559
coaching, I think, you know, the old adage about leadership where you

984
01:00:25,700 --> 01:00:29,475
praise in public and criticize private. Yeah. Absolutely. I think

985
01:00:29,555 --> 01:00:32,915
I think some like, if the intent is to show that in

986
01:00:32,915 --> 01:00:36,275
coaching, I don't think we would come in here and on this

987
01:00:36,275 --> 01:00:40,000
show. We criticized. It's not like we don't criticize things. We

988
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,519
just criticize companies that do things weird and, you

989
01:00:43,519 --> 01:00:47,235
know, situations like that. But I if we all of a sudden,

990
01:00:47,235 --> 01:00:51,075
you know, say say one Saturday we brought in, Dan's a sponsor,

991
01:00:51,075 --> 01:00:54,670
so I'll use him as an example. So we bring on, you know, his

992
01:00:54,670 --> 01:00:58,270
show and and start tearing it, you know, start tearing it

993
01:00:58,270 --> 01:01:01,630
up. And he didn't ask for it, and he didn't want

994
01:01:01,630 --> 01:01:05,335
it, wasn't ready for it. I'm not sure we'd

995
01:01:05,335 --> 01:01:09,095
see Dan for a while at that point. Right? Not

996
01:01:09,095 --> 01:01:12,580
the intent to is that coaching? Sure. We could hide

997
01:01:12,580 --> 01:01:15,240
behind the the the the,

998
01:01:16,420 --> 01:01:20,120
you know, that idea of coaching. Well, I'm just I'm just trying to help you.

999
01:01:20,445 --> 01:01:24,125
Yeah. I didn't I this isn't army basic training. You know? This I

1000
01:01:24,125 --> 01:01:27,885
I I didn't sign up for this. I so I think it's

1001
01:01:27,885 --> 01:01:31,700
getting those those I mean, if you wanted to I think if the

1002
01:01:31,700 --> 01:01:35,299
intent was to drive people to school podcasting or to to

1003
01:01:35,299 --> 01:01:38,885
your coaching stuff, I think a more

1004
01:01:39,025 --> 01:01:42,724
coach approach oh, I kinda rammed. A more coach approach

1005
01:01:42,785 --> 01:01:46,480
to to it would would actually

1006
01:01:46,539 --> 01:01:50,299
show would show them what you can do. Yeah. The the

1007
01:01:50,299 --> 01:01:53,420
thing that caught Maybe you're doing that. I haven't listened to one, to be honest

1008
01:01:53,420 --> 01:01:57,035
with you, because I was afraid of the content. You know? You gotta

1009
01:01:57,035 --> 01:02:00,795
cringe. Yeah. Craig has a great point. He goes,

1010
01:02:00,795 --> 01:02:04,570
it's either a hobby or a business. If it's not bringing you leads

1011
01:02:04,710 --> 01:02:07,910
and you don't enjoy it, then Bennett. Yeah. That's me. That's why that's why I'm

1012
01:02:07,910 --> 01:02:11,605
like, you know so I like the idea that Ralph

1013
01:02:11,605 --> 01:02:15,205
said, maybe give people a month. And I was like, that might be

1014
01:02:15,365 --> 01:02:19,180
that might backfire, because my whole thing is unlimited 1 on 1 consulting. And

1015
01:02:19,180 --> 01:02:22,980
if I get a bunch of new people with a bunch of questions, that could

1016
01:02:22,980 --> 01:02:26,340
be an issue. You know, John says, I disagreed with you on the Kelsey Brothers

1017
01:02:26,340 --> 01:02:30,135
podcast, New Heights. Even though what you said was correct, I

1018
01:02:30,135 --> 01:02:33,895
still am one of their fans. Yet, they they have a lot of advertising at

1019
01:02:33,895 --> 01:02:36,760
the beginning of their show. And I was like, as a new listener, I was

1020
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:40,280
kinda like, really? And then coach Dave, sometimes the benefit is not

1021
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:44,039
realized by the people or the person in the hot seat, but those in the

1022
01:02:44,039 --> 01:02:47,325
wings, which kinda goes back to Jim's point of sometimes it's

1023
01:02:47,785 --> 01:02:50,205
your your your coaching

1024
01:02:51,705 --> 01:02:55,380
you're trying to coach in public, but in the process, you have to

1025
01:02:55,380 --> 01:02:59,220
criticize in public, which is not great. And but it's the people in the

1026
01:02:59,220 --> 01:03:02,925
wings who aren't because you're not talking about their show that

1027
01:03:02,925 --> 01:03:06,525
get the benefit, you know. So it's it's it's

1028
01:03:06,525 --> 01:03:10,365
kinda tricky. So it's it's but I like Dan's idea. Maybe just put

1029
01:03:10,365 --> 01:03:14,030
it on hiatus for a bit. The thing I hate about that is there are

1030
01:03:14,030 --> 01:03:17,550
people like Randy that listen when it first comes out. And if I put it

1031
01:03:17,550 --> 01:03:21,345
on hiatus, it's not like Randy's going to work going, why? I'd listen to

1032
01:03:21,345 --> 01:03:24,385
a show today on the way to work, but, you know, podcast radio. So I

1033
01:03:24,385 --> 01:03:27,184
was I guess I'll just sit here in silence. No. They're gonna go find something

1034
01:03:27,184 --> 01:03:30,240
else. And then when it comes back, it's up to you

1035
01:03:30,779 --> 01:03:34,220
to, you know, get them to go, well, is this show better

1036
01:03:34,220 --> 01:03:37,885
than the one I've I've replaced you with? John says, if Dave

1037
01:03:37,885 --> 01:03:41,585
called me privately and told me what he thought of my podcast,

1038
01:03:41,645 --> 01:03:45,140
I would love it. If he did it publicly, it would kill me. Yeah. That's

1039
01:03:45,140 --> 01:03:48,980
the problem. It's the public thing. Randy says one of the best

1040
01:03:48,980 --> 01:03:52,819
podcast rodeo episodes was the garbage day podcast, one of

1041
01:03:52,819 --> 01:03:56,305
the worst shows ever. So, again, it's entertaining.

1042
01:03:56,924 --> 01:04:00,525
I did have a guy the very first episode that I did. I

1043
01:04:00,525 --> 01:04:04,290
forget what it was, but it was horrendous. And the guy finally

1044
01:04:04,290 --> 01:04:07,010
figured out that I had reviewed his show and said, hey. Can you take that

1045
01:04:07,010 --> 01:04:10,550
down? And I very politely did. I'm like, sure. Fine. Whatever.

1046
01:04:10,795 --> 01:04:14,555
I could have said it's my opinion. See, this is this is

1047
01:04:14,555 --> 01:04:18,315
what I tried. Randy says, have you ever released a show where you're actually coaching

1048
01:04:18,315 --> 01:04:21,730
a client 1 on 1? Because I I recommend that

1049
01:04:21,730 --> 01:04:24,869
strategy to my my clients.

1050
01:04:25,170 --> 01:04:28,069
Like, offer discounted coaching

1051
01:04:29,095 --> 01:04:32,855
and say, hey. We're gonna record this. And at the end, I will

1052
01:04:32,855 --> 01:04:36,615
ask you, are you okay with me releasing

1053
01:04:36,615 --> 01:04:40,460
this? Because I'm gonna point out what you're doing good. But if there's

1054
01:04:40,460 --> 01:04:43,980
things you might wanna try differently because usually, it's not your show is

1055
01:04:43,980 --> 01:04:47,735
bad. It's like you're missing this, or, you know, your

1056
01:04:47,735 --> 01:04:51,255
audio could be benefited by doing this. I've tried that. I

1057
01:04:51,255 --> 01:04:54,960
interviewed 2 people, and it

1058
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,019
wasn't really good content. You know what I mean? It was like,

1059
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:02,000
okay. So maybe I'll try that again. Because I wanted to do that for the

1060
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,285
school of podcasting, have consulting

1061
01:05:06,225 --> 01:05:09,745
episodes. I thought that would be something different, you know, that whole 9

1062
01:05:09,745 --> 01:05:12,725
yards. And then what happens is

1063
01:05:14,079 --> 01:05:17,920
people like Natalie Eckdahl does bizchix, b

1064
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,280
I z c h I x. She did interviews for

1065
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,984
years because, well, that's what everybody did. Right? Start a

1066
01:05:24,984 --> 01:05:28,505
podcast. You interview entrepreneurs and wasn't driving any

1067
01:05:28,505 --> 01:05:32,030
business. And so she started doing solo shows.

1068
01:05:32,570 --> 01:05:36,329
That helped a little because it really connected her with her audience, but

1069
01:05:36,329 --> 01:05:40,155
then she offered people discounted coaching. Couple people

1070
01:05:40,155 --> 01:05:43,455
took it up, and she would just say, here's some things you can do better.

1071
01:05:43,595 --> 01:05:47,170
Wasn't so much, here's what you're doing right. Here's things you can do better. And

1072
01:05:47,170 --> 01:05:50,770
she said, all of a sudden, my audience went, oh, that's

1073
01:05:50,770 --> 01:05:54,150
what coaching is. And she goes, and the floodgates open.

1074
01:05:54,785 --> 01:05:58,244
So I wanna use that thing, but you need kind of the right person.

1075
01:05:58,785 --> 01:06:02,589
You know, Rich says, Ask Me Anything by Josh Spector

1076
01:06:02,589 --> 01:06:06,270
does that. Guest comes and asks him questions. Yeah. I I've

1077
01:06:06,270 --> 01:06:10,085
actually tried I did an Ask Me Anything, whatever it was, show

1078
01:06:10,085 --> 01:06:13,685
700, show 600, and I don't know.

1079
01:06:13,685 --> 01:06:17,205
Something went we I mean, they didn't ask bad questions. I just it was, you

1080
01:06:17,205 --> 01:06:20,490
know, what's the best microphone? Kind of the stuff we do here.

1081
01:06:20,790 --> 01:06:24,550
Yeah. Yeah. But, anyway, speaking of the awesome supporters. Oh,

1082
01:06:24,550 --> 01:06:28,145
I've mentioned I I was in the middle of saying this, that

1083
01:06:28,445 --> 01:06:32,045
Ecamm has a cool option where I can basically

1084
01:06:32,045 --> 01:06:35,770
go, hey, keep the live stream going over here, but

1085
01:06:35,770 --> 01:06:39,610
show me the back end over here where I went in. So now

1086
01:06:39,610 --> 01:06:43,050
when I go to the slide, we're at the first slide because it dawned on

1087
01:06:43,050 --> 01:06:46,695
me we were on the last slide and I needed to rewind this.

1088
01:06:46,755 --> 01:06:50,375
So I was able to go, hey, Ecamm, keep doing what you're doing.

1089
01:06:51,110 --> 01:06:54,650
And I'm gonna go over here and back up these slides

1090
01:06:54,870 --> 01:06:58,390
so I can now go, hey. If you like to be an awesome

1091
01:06:58,390 --> 01:07:02,155
supporter, it's super easy. You know, you can do that, and and my slides are

1092
01:07:02,155 --> 01:07:04,555
now in order. Where before, I would have to go hold on and go to

1093
01:07:04,555 --> 01:07:08,220
back these up. So that's pretty cool. ECAM ECAM for the win. But

1094
01:07:08,220 --> 01:07:11,740

01:07:56,005 --> 01:07:59,710
a week without Jim Collison. That's hard to do, man. Just go over to the

1108

average guy dot tv and check out Home Gadget Geeks.

1109
01:08:03,710 --> 01:08:07,234
And it's time for the wheel o'

1110
01:08:07,234 --> 01:08:10,295
names. So let me Yes. Depart.

1111
01:08:11,394 --> 01:08:15,220
Here we go. I wait for this every week. I missed it last. You're just

1112
01:08:15,220 --> 01:08:18,740
like, hey, Dave. What's the website? I wanna spin the wheel, just for fun. Could

1113
01:08:18,740 --> 01:08:21,540
you just spin the wheel for me? Could you just spin the wheel? So will

1114
01:08:21,540 --> 01:08:25,285
it be Max? Will it be Felix? Will it be Ross? Will it be,

1115
01:08:25,345 --> 01:08:28,785
you know, all these fun people will hear just just so people don't think it's

1116
01:08:28,785 --> 01:08:32,145
fixed. I will click on shuffle, and now I will spin the

1117
01:08:32,145 --> 01:08:35,600
wheel o' names. Round and round and round it goes.

1118
01:08:36,300 --> 01:08:39,359
And it is the one and only?

1119
01:08:40,060 --> 01:08:43,585
No. Pro so close. Yeah. Radio Free

1120
01:08:43,585 --> 01:08:46,965
Pro Wrestling. So if you're into pro wrestling,

1121
01:08:47,665 --> 01:08:50,989
it's the place you gotta go. I'll put a link in the show notes later,

1122
01:08:50,989 --> 01:08:54,590
but thank you for being an awesome supporter. We

1123
01:08:54,590 --> 01:08:57,489
deeply appreciate that, and

1124
01:08:58,405 --> 01:09:02,245
we switch back. Oh, wait. I gotta go here. This is the

1125
01:09:02,245 --> 01:09:05,205
one thing it's I can't get the wheel of names off the screen. I want

1126
01:09:05,285 --> 01:09:09,109
there we go. So with that said, you know, does this show save

1127
01:09:09,109 --> 01:09:12,310
you time? Does it save you money? Does it save you headaches? Does it keep

1128
01:09:12,310 --> 01:09:15,750
you educated? Well, then maybe you should consider being an awesome

1129
01:09:15,750 --> 01:09:17,995
supporter at ask the podcast coach.com/awesome.

1130
01:09:20,854 --> 01:09:24,694
So thanks for all those people. We do appreciate that. The chat room is,

1131
01:09:25,790 --> 01:09:29,630
you know, we got them going today. John Domingo again. I just bought

1132
01:09:29,630 --> 01:09:33,229
Hindenburg Pro. And now I'm going through the

1133
01:09:33,229 --> 01:09:37,055
how do I do that blues. I would pay for an hour of coaching.

1134
01:09:37,435 --> 01:09:41,114
You know, if you join the School of Podcasting, use the coupon code

1135
01:09:41,114 --> 01:09:44,560
coach. There's a class on Hindenburg

1136
01:09:44,859 --> 01:09:48,380
Pro. So and in fact, there's a especially for

1137
01:09:48,380 --> 01:09:51,695
editors, one of the coolest things is

1138
01:09:51,835 --> 01:09:55,675
somebody sends you a file, and you were hoping you would

1139
01:09:55,675 --> 01:09:59,520
get separate files, but doggone it, you didn't. You go into Hindenburg.

1140
01:10:00,060 --> 01:10:03,900
You have it transcribed, and you name the different people.

1141
01:10:03,900 --> 01:10:07,660
So it's, you know, track 1 is your this person when this person's talks, it's

1142
01:10:07,660 --> 01:10:11,485
Dave. When this person talks, it's Jim. So now Hindenburg knows

1143
01:10:11,485 --> 01:10:15,265
there are 2 speakers, and you can go take that transcript

1144
01:10:15,740 --> 01:10:19,340
and that audio and split it into 2 separate tracks. And when I saw

1145
01:10:19,340 --> 01:10:23,180
that, I was like, that is magic mojo kind of stuff. So now I

1146
01:10:23,180 --> 01:10:26,635
can, you know, mute the dog barking on Jim's track.

1147
01:10:27,255 --> 01:10:30,875
All sorts of, stuff. Wait. Did you do this, Jim?

1148
01:10:31,350 --> 01:10:34,949
Chris is saying you went on social media news live.

1149
01:10:34,949 --> 01:10:38,695
This coming up. Ah. Next week. There you go. Next week. I'm on. The

1150
01:10:38,695 --> 01:10:42,295
one and only Jeff was on my Jeff was on Home Gadget Geeks. We talked

1151
01:10:42,295 --> 01:10:46,030
about the VR stuff, the Apple VR stuff. Vision

1152
01:10:46,030 --> 01:10:49,309
pro, I think is what they call it. And then, a couple weeks ago, and

1153
01:10:49,309 --> 01:10:53,150
then well, 5 weeks ago now maybe. I took 3 weeks off,

1154
01:10:53,150 --> 01:10:56,875
so it's weird how how all of a sudden time can catch up to you.

1155
01:10:56,875 --> 01:11:00,155
And then so, yes, I will be on his show. Tough looking forward to it.

1156
01:11:00,155 --> 01:11:03,054
Talking about being, Rusty. Right?

1157
01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:07,350
We didn't forget that. It will be interesting. I'm not sure I've taken 3 weeks,

1158
01:11:07,350 --> 01:11:10,250
but I don't know, in a way. It's usually one here, one there. You know?

1159
01:11:10,470 --> 01:11:14,215
It felt really good. It it did. It was hard, but it took it felt

1160
01:11:14,215 --> 01:11:16,935
real and I didn't plan it 3 weeks. It's just I took 1 week off,

1161
01:11:16,935 --> 01:11:20,055
and then the next week, I was like, I think I wanna take another week

1162
01:11:20,055 --> 01:11:23,860
off. And then we've I've had a lot of stuff going on personally, and so

1163
01:11:23,860 --> 01:11:27,220
it was just nice to to have the you know, I have a group that

1164
01:11:27,220 --> 01:11:30,825
joins me live, and they just say, hey, I'm I'm on a spring break. You

1165
01:11:30,825 --> 01:11:34,585
know? And they were like, enjoy your time off. It was nice. Well, Jim, are

1166
01:11:34,585 --> 01:11:38,425
you ready to, run with scissors? I'm going Yes. I'm going to try I'm

1167
01:11:38,425 --> 01:11:41,910
going to drag a sound bite. Don't stream copyrighted

1168
01:11:41,910 --> 01:11:45,350
music is what Ecamm is telling me. I'm not well, it's funny that question comes

1169
01:11:45,350 --> 01:11:48,985
up. But, we got this question from Bread to Perfection

1170
01:11:49,125 --> 01:11:52,804
with Kenny, tro Troy. And, boy, I really need new

1171
01:11:52,804 --> 01:11:56,610
glasses. Troiano says, if someone were to mention your name in their podcast,

1172
01:11:56,610 --> 01:12:00,370
is it okay to take the sound bite and play it on yours?

1173
01:12:00,370 --> 01:12:03,510
So, like, if Adam Curry was on

1174
01:12:04,235 --> 01:12:07,035
decentralized TV and the guy said this

1175
01:12:10,955 --> 01:12:14,639
this was cool, by the way, in my opinion, except I don't think

1176
01:12:14,639 --> 01:12:18,420
that's the clip I want. It's not. So we'll fade that out.

1177
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,725
It's named Adam Curry Says Nice Things, but apparently, that's the whole thing,

1178
01:12:22,725 --> 01:12:26,245
not just the clip. But Adam Curry said very nice things about me on

1179
01:12:26,245 --> 01:12:29,739
decentralized TV. And so I went to

1180
01:12:29,739 --> 01:12:33,440
decentralized TV, which is on the Brighton, Brayton,

1181
01:12:33,579 --> 01:12:37,135
something with a b network. And when you go there, there are so many

1182
01:12:37,135 --> 01:12:40,894
squares of shows that they have on this network. And the one thing I could

1183
01:12:40,894 --> 01:12:44,530
not find, and it kinda drove me nuts, was the button that

1184
01:12:44,530 --> 01:12:47,970
said contact. Like, nothing. No

1185
01:12:47,970 --> 01:12:51,570
contact at all. And so I looked and looked and clicked on

1186
01:12:51,570 --> 01:12:55,175
this, finally found they have their own decentralized

1187
01:12:55,395 --> 01:12:59,175
I think it's TV, might be dot TV. Found it. Still

1188
01:12:59,315 --> 01:13:03,070
no contact. So I went to Twitter, found, the

1189
01:13:03,070 --> 01:13:06,750
host name, said, hey. I saw where Adam was on your

1190
01:13:06,750 --> 01:13:10,592
show. If I put a link to to your

1191
01:13:10,592 --> 01:13:14,140
website and to Adam's website, can I play this

1192
01:13:14,140 --> 01:13:17,550
clip? And I got no reply. And so

1193
01:13:18,090 --> 01:13:21,849
there are times I don't know if it's legally I'm not a lawyer, nor do

1194
01:13:21,849 --> 01:13:25,505
I even play 1 on TV. But when Adam Curry says nice things about

1195
01:13:25,505 --> 01:13:29,344
you, I'm going to play that until somebody tells me not to at this

1196
01:13:29,344 --> 01:13:33,100
point. I'm I'm going now does that make it right? I did my

1197
01:13:33,100 --> 01:13:36,860
due diligence. I did reach out. I will check again today. But,

1198
01:13:36,860 --> 01:13:39,739
you know, maybe they're not on Twitter, but I don't know. Maybe if you had

1199
01:13:39,739 --> 01:13:43,485
a contact page You know? Now on the other hand, this might be it's

1200
01:13:43,485 --> 01:13:46,125
it's big time. If you,

1201
01:13:47,405 --> 01:13:50,900
if you are not a fan of right wing politics, this is not the

1202
01:13:50,900 --> 01:13:54,740
website for you. It's so right. It's almost left kind

1203
01:13:54,740 --> 01:13:58,395
of thing. And Full circle. Yeah. Exactly.

1204
01:13:58,695 --> 01:14:02,535
Which is fine by me. I don't really care. It just they somebody said, look.

1205
01:14:02,535 --> 01:14:06,340
If I'm looking to get started, and I just needed simple

1206
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,400
path to start a podcast, and Adam's like, hold on. Let me interrupt

1207
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:14,145
you. I got it. I should have mentioned this guy earlier, Dave

1208
01:14:14,145 --> 01:14:17,265
Jackson, blah blah blah. And he went on, you know, train more people than I

1209
01:14:17,265 --> 01:14:20,865
know and yada yada yada. So it was really, really nice because he said that

1210
01:14:20,865 --> 01:14:24,560
before, but I was sitting next to him. And so the fact that he

1211
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,080
said it just out of nowhere, I was like, man, that was really cool. I

1212
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,840
gotta grab that clip. So I don't know what If you if you use

1213
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:35,574
it but you tried. That trying doesn't count. Yeah. It doesn't

1214
01:14:35,574 --> 01:14:39,335
matter. That's not gonna save me in court. That's yeah. It's you

1215
01:14:39,335 --> 01:14:42,454
could claim fair use, but that's what you would say if they've

1216
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,559
if legal proceedings was again, I'm not a lawyer, and I didn't Right. Stay at

1217
01:14:46,559 --> 01:14:49,300
a Holiday Inn Press last night, so this is not legal advice.

1218
01:14:50,455 --> 01:14:53,815
If they and then, you know, you listen, it's just if they choose to do

1219
01:14:53,815 --> 01:14:57,574
something about it. If they if they're like, hey, wait a

1220
01:14:57,574 --> 01:15:01,239
minute. We didn't give you permission to do this. Then it's

1221
01:15:01,480 --> 01:15:05,159
then the fight is on. Right? So, you know, you did all the right

1222
01:15:05,159 --> 01:15:09,005
things. I I would still I'd be hesitant to make sure it was

1223
01:15:09,005 --> 01:15:12,605
in some places that I could pull it back Yeah. If I

1224
01:15:12,605 --> 01:15:16,225
needed to. Right? Those kinds of things until you get a 100%

1225
01:15:16,445 --> 01:15:20,270
permission to be able to Yeah. I'm I'm gonna insert it into the school

1226
01:15:20,270 --> 01:15:24,110
of podcasting using the dynamic tools in Libsyn so

1227
01:15:24,110 --> 01:15:27,070
that if they go, hey. Hey. Hey. I can just go take that out of

1228
01:15:27,070 --> 01:15:30,765
rotation. Never mind. I think he's already left. Craig

1229
01:15:30,765 --> 01:15:34,364
left us a question here. Would you No. He he's he's already at

1230
01:15:34,364 --> 01:15:38,120
stake. Oh, okay. I think. Anyways, go ahead. Would you what would you recommend for

1231
01:15:38,180 --> 01:15:41,080
migrating a podcast website from WordPress to Squarespace?

1232
01:15:44,485 --> 01:15:48,245
A, what are you doing on WordPress? Is there ecommerce going on? Is

1233
01:15:48,245 --> 01:15:51,765
it a lot of a b split? If it's just a website and it's a

1234
01:15:51,765 --> 01:15:55,330
podcast, and I don't say this because they're they're

1235
01:15:55,330 --> 01:15:58,550
technically not a sponsor. It's just my affiliate tripodpage.com.

1236
01:15:59,330 --> 01:16:03,105
I would, if nothing else, put the feed in there. See because you

1237
01:16:03,105 --> 01:16:06,725
can see what your website would look like. I would move to podpage.

1238
01:16:07,825 --> 01:16:11,640
Squarespace, Wix what else is out there? There are a

1239
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:15,340
few other ones. Elementor now offers hosting.

1240
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,940
It's been a while since I played with Squarespace. Wix,

1241
01:16:19,885 --> 01:16:23,725
back when they they remember when they had all sorts of, commercials on

1242
01:16:23,725 --> 01:16:27,470
and how easy it was to build a website with Wix. And, look, I've

1243
01:16:27,550 --> 01:16:30,590
you know, I go back to the days of Dreamweaver. I I know my way

1244
01:16:30,590 --> 01:16:33,710
around building a website. I'm no master guru, but

1245
01:16:34,395 --> 01:16:38,235
and Wix, I just was like it just seemed like 3 different teams

1246
01:16:38,235 --> 01:16:41,775
built their platform. Like, this is the one for the blog.

1247
01:16:42,150 --> 01:16:44,710
And, like, all of a sudden, the interface would change because I was doing a

1248
01:16:44,710 --> 01:16:48,550
blog, and then I would go to make something else in the

1249
01:16:48,550 --> 01:16:51,815
interface. It just seemed I was like, wow. Who designed it? It really looked like

1250
01:16:51,895 --> 01:16:55,655
3 different teams built it. Now that may have changed, but that was

1251
01:16:55,655 --> 01:16:59,015
probably a year ago. Squarespace is

1252
01:16:59,015 --> 01:17:02,820
pretty. The thing that I found somewhat

1253
01:17:02,820 --> 01:17:06,260
frustrating with Squarespace is all their templates are

1254
01:17:06,260 --> 01:17:09,560
for consulting or hotels

1255
01:17:10,375 --> 01:17:13,835
or restaurants or knickknacks.

1256
01:17:14,215 --> 01:17:17,755
Like, there was no podcast Squarespace template.

1257
01:17:18,530 --> 01:17:22,210
And so you're kind of trying to squeeze a podcast

1258
01:17:22,210 --> 01:17:25,970
into a template that isn't really meant for it. And the other thing

1259
01:17:25,970 --> 01:17:29,605
that got me out of Squarespace was you know, you're always like, if you do

1260
01:17:29,605 --> 01:17:32,985
PayPal, right, it's 2.9% plus 30¢.

1261
01:17:33,605 --> 01:17:37,450
Well, I I kinda went, wait. That can't be right. Squarespace

1262
01:17:37,510 --> 01:17:41,350
then tacked on more fees. And I'm like, but I'm already paying it

1263
01:17:41,350 --> 01:17:45,125
$20 a month. Why are you dinging me on my ecommerce? And

1264
01:17:45,125 --> 01:17:48,965
their answer was because we can. I would double check that. I

1265
01:17:48,965 --> 01:17:52,585
haven't played with Squarespace in about 3 years. It's been a while.

1266
01:17:53,220 --> 01:17:56,739
But and then the other question I would ask

1267
01:17:56,739 --> 01:18:00,580
is, what are you using on WordPress? Because I'm I'm not a huge

1268
01:18:00,580 --> 01:18:04,415
fan of WordPress, but in fact, I was laughing. And how old is

1269
01:18:04,415 --> 01:18:08,015
it? How old is your WordPress instance? Yeah. Because there are some themes that are

1270
01:18:08,015 --> 01:18:11,690
like I saw somebody the other day that was

1271
01:18:11,690 --> 01:18:15,470
using there I forget what it was. There was a software you could buy,

1272
01:18:16,250 --> 01:18:19,370
and you would put in the colors and some artwork, and it would spit out

1273
01:18:19,370 --> 01:18:23,125
a theme that you would then upload to WordPress. And

1274
01:18:23,745 --> 01:18:26,645
it it looks very 1994ish.

1275
01:18:27,505 --> 01:18:30,600
And I went to somebody's website. I'm like, oh my god. I haven't seen that

1276
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,440
layout in forever. So the the thing I hate

1277
01:18:34,440 --> 01:18:37,785
about most WordPress like, I like Elementor.

1278
01:18:38,324 --> 01:18:42,005
To me, there's, like, Divi, which is what Mark uses when he designs

1279
01:18:42,005 --> 01:18:45,740
your website, gives you so much insane control over your

1280
01:18:45,740 --> 01:18:49,200
website that I just go, I don't need that much control. And then there's

1281
01:18:49,740 --> 01:18:53,215
Gutenberg, which doesn't do enough, at least for

1282
01:18:53,215 --> 01:18:56,755
me. And then I found Elementor, which is pretty cool.

1283
01:18:56,895 --> 01:19:00,560
They're very much the 3 bears. It's kind of in the middle. I just hate

1284
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,940
the fact that with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi,

1285
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:07,780
some of these site builders that, like, once you go, I'm going with you,

1286
01:19:08,159 --> 01:19:11,555
you kinda married it. Because if you turn it off,

1287
01:19:11,935 --> 01:19:15,615
any page you used, unless there's a trick that I don't know of yeah. Larry

1288
01:19:15,615 --> 01:19:19,440
says I love Elementor. Everybody's like, Elementor? Well, you know, I

1289
01:19:19,440 --> 01:19:22,400
don't know if I have. It's if you I'm almost gonna guess if you go

1290
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:26,085
to support this show dot com /elementor. Yeah.

1291
01:19:26,145 --> 01:19:29,665
Everybody's loving Elementor. So that may be Dan says there

1292
01:19:29,824 --> 01:19:33,605
there's a lot of customizations WordPress can do that Squarespace can't.

1293
01:19:33,820 --> 01:19:37,660
So migrating can't always work. It depends. And I was laughing last night because I

1294
01:19:37,660 --> 01:19:41,360
was like, I haven't really played with Elementor in a while. And, oh,

1295
01:19:41,420 --> 01:19:45,105
good, has that. It's you now have and this is a lot of things I'm

1296
01:19:45,105 --> 01:19:48,784
seeing in podcasting where they have a core service. Like, here's your

1297
01:19:48,784 --> 01:19:52,489
Elementor. And for an extra $5 a month, you can go Elementor

1298
01:19:52,710 --> 01:19:56,389
Pro, and it's just every widget you could think of. Like, I didn't

1299
01:19:56,389 --> 01:19:59,989
realize I've been looking for the perfect pop up because I hate my pop up

1300
01:19:59,989 --> 01:20:03,765
on my website. I can make one with Elementor. I was talking with

1301
01:20:03,765 --> 01:20:07,365
somebody, and he uses quizzes on his website. I go, what are you using to

1302
01:20:07,365 --> 01:20:11,150
make the quiz? He's like, Elementor. So I was actually thinking

1303
01:20:11,150 --> 01:20:14,530
of moving the school of podcasting onto PodPage.

1304
01:20:15,389 --> 01:20:19,010
And after playing with Elementor, I'm like, I think I just need to

1305
01:20:19,615 --> 01:20:23,315
spend a weekend, and I could kinda get things where I want to

1306
01:20:23,615 --> 01:20:27,155
on WordPress. Because I don't wanna get completely off WordPress because

1307
01:20:27,700 --> 01:20:31,460
that's a good skill to have even though mine is pretty rusty. Jim, what do

1308
01:20:31,460 --> 01:20:35,060
you I mean, I know you have a pod page for something, but do you

1309
01:20:35,060 --> 01:20:38,785
have any WordPress sites anymore? Yeah. The the average guy dot tv is all

1310
01:20:38,785 --> 01:20:42,545
WordPress. Okay. And then I'm using PodPage as just a

1311
01:20:42,545 --> 01:20:46,340
landing page for, homegadgetgeeks.com. There you

1312
01:20:46,340 --> 01:20:49,560
go. So It's great. If I had to move,

1313
01:20:50,260 --> 01:20:53,699
I'd probably move the pod page Yeah. Just to be honest. But because it's low

1314
01:20:53,699 --> 01:20:56,994
maintenance. If you if you listen. If you if you want to do a lot

1315
01:20:56,994 --> 01:21:00,835
of things to your website, doesn't matter who you use. They're all

1316
01:21:00,835 --> 01:21:04,480
they're all lacking. You're you're all gonna write some code. I think that's

1317
01:21:04,480 --> 01:21:08,239
the the most common complaint I I hear from developers, I used to

1318
01:21:08,239 --> 01:21:11,815
work with a bunch of them, is they would always say, you know, no matter

1319
01:21:11,815 --> 01:21:15,655
what, if you're if you can customize them, none of the platforms are

1320
01:21:15,655 --> 01:21:19,435
easy. If it was easy, everybody would do it. It takes kind of a developer

1321
01:21:20,210 --> 01:21:23,330
to, you know, to work through some of the problems that you would have on

1322
01:21:23,330 --> 01:21:26,790
the sites. So, of course, Piepage and Squarespace are

1323
01:21:26,850 --> 01:21:30,395
kinda designed for the average person or at least that's what

1324
01:21:30,395 --> 01:21:34,235
they say they are. Right? And so, you know, the heavy

1325
01:21:34,235 --> 01:21:37,835
customization people are like, oh, I can't customize this stuff. Yeah. It's not designed to

1326
01:21:37,835 --> 01:21:41,500
be customized. I mean, the developers would say, yes. Just contact

1327
01:21:41,500 --> 01:21:44,460
me, and we'll figure out how to get it done Right. In some of those

1328
01:21:44,460 --> 01:21:48,165
cases. But where WordPress was tried literally

1329
01:21:48,165 --> 01:21:51,925
tried to be everything to all people. It would try to be, like, hey,

1330
01:21:51,925 --> 01:21:55,285
one click setup, or you can have 10 clicks setup, or you

1331
01:21:55,285 --> 01:21:59,090
can have a million clicks setup, you know, kind of thing. And it

1332
01:21:59,090 --> 01:22:02,770
it it it and then it allowed and this is

1333
01:22:02,770 --> 01:22:06,275
always the case on open source that it

1334
01:22:06,275 --> 01:22:09,955
allowed ultimate customizations. There's

1335
01:22:09,955 --> 01:22:13,395
many anybody could write anything, any plugins, any

1336
01:22:13,395 --> 01:22:17,120
stuff. Then people, the average the average guy comes to it, and they're

1337
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:20,800
like, god, what plugins do I use? Then that you have to start all

1338
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:24,215
the about all the plugins Yeah. And all the you're right. And

1339
01:22:24,215 --> 01:22:27,735
then the a whole ecosystem is built around that, and then there's a few

1340
01:22:27,735 --> 01:22:31,010
people. I mean, so it's just it's it's insanely

1341
01:22:31,630 --> 01:22:35,470
difficult. It's insanely difficult. And then you better have a backup. I

1342
01:22:35,470 --> 01:22:38,955
always tell people, like, if you're using WordPress, and make sure

1343
01:22:39,655 --> 01:22:43,015
I had a card on I use I think it's

1344
01:22:43,015 --> 01:22:46,695
WP manager. I have something like that. Whatever it

1345
01:22:46,695 --> 01:22:50,489
is. And it makes an automatic backup every day because I'm always waiting for the

1346
01:22:50,489 --> 01:22:54,329
white screen of death. And my card had expired,

1347
01:22:54,329 --> 01:22:57,935
and they had since not backed up my stuff. And so luckily,

1348
01:22:58,075 --> 01:23:01,675
Christian over at Maple Grove Partners because I totally wrecked my website one

1349
01:23:01,675 --> 01:23:05,195
day. And I emailed him, like, dude, this is urgent. The website's just I it's

1350
01:23:05,195 --> 01:23:08,460
my fault. I clicked the wrong button, and he had me back up on real

1351
01:23:08,460 --> 01:23:12,300
quick. But, he he has backups. He doesn't he doesn't believe in other he doesn't

1352
01:23:12,300 --> 01:23:16,115
believe in other people's backups. So would you recommend migrating a

1353
01:23:16,115 --> 01:23:19,795
pile? That's the first one. He had another question saying, should I here it is.

1354
01:23:19,795 --> 01:23:23,150
Would Mark be the person to reach out to help me move off WordPress? Yeah.

1355
01:23:23,150 --> 01:23:26,910
If you're going off WordPress, I guess, I'm not sure how versed Mark

1356
01:23:26,910 --> 01:23:30,614
is on Squarespace, but he can definitely help you move. In some

1357
01:23:30,614 --> 01:23:34,235
cases, I think Mark's working on a service where he'll actually

1358
01:23:35,255 --> 01:23:38,860
kinda be your like, for a monthly fee. Like, he'll

1359
01:23:38,940 --> 01:23:42,700
he's gonna have, like, podcast websites where you like it's almost

1360
01:23:42,700 --> 01:23:46,405
like a template. And then he'll pay you pay him a

1361
01:23:46,405 --> 01:23:50,005
monthly fee to host it. You'll still own it, but it's it's

1362
01:23:50,005 --> 01:23:53,700
WordPress based. Because he realizes the WordPress is great. As Jim

1363
01:23:53,700 --> 01:23:57,220
said, it does everything for everyone, and then you're like, I just need, like,

1364
01:23:57,220 --> 01:24:01,060
this. So, the chat room's throwing in their things. Dave said I

1365
01:24:01,060 --> 01:24:04,895
used Thrive Themes, had to get married to it and spend a good amount

1366
01:24:04,895 --> 01:24:08,735
of money. He says I I use PodPage for my current show only

1367
01:24:08,735 --> 01:24:12,320
because of our web team is under contract and they don't know podcasting.

1368
01:24:12,699 --> 01:24:16,380
PodPage gave me an easy to use, easy to manage platform. And

1369
01:24:16,380 --> 01:24:20,085
then, Larry says, I push all my clients to PodPage to get

1370
01:24:20,085 --> 01:24:23,785
them started. And since I've just said PodPage 50,000 times,

1371
01:24:24,085 --> 01:24:27,925
don't forget tripodpage.com the next time you're signing up. That would be great. That's

1372
01:24:27,925 --> 01:24:31,320
my affiliate link. Jeff says back in the day, I used to host Tailwinds

1373
01:24:31,380 --> 01:24:34,900
show. And when we reviewed people's Pinterest pins I think this is a

1374
01:24:34,900 --> 01:24:38,675
different conversation. People's Pinterest pins, they were the most

1375
01:24:38,675 --> 01:24:41,975
yes. I have no I I clicked the wrong button. It said

1376
01:24:42,114 --> 01:24:45,849
wacky chat room. Hello, Jeff. Yeah. Get your comment in.

1377
01:24:45,849 --> 01:24:49,210
There you go. Well, he's he's one of the kings of Pinterest. I had him

1378
01:24:49,210 --> 01:24:52,905
on my show talking about Pinterest. So but yeah. So it's

1379
01:24:53,285 --> 01:24:56,665
it's tough. You know, I like WordPress.

1380
01:24:57,125 --> 01:25:00,630
It can do everything in Elementor. It just was one of the things where when

1381
01:25:00,630 --> 01:25:03,530
I went to make my pop up last night at, like, I don't know,

1382
01:25:04,150 --> 01:25:07,930
12:30, I was like, yeah. You know what? If you start this,

1383
01:25:08,185 --> 01:25:10,824
gonna go to bed at 3 o'clock in the morning because you need to go

1384
01:25:10,824 --> 01:25:14,364
watch a video. And that's really the key with all website stuff.

1385
01:25:14,585 --> 01:25:17,980
So as much as they go, it's super easy. Build a website with 3

1386
01:25:17,980 --> 01:25:21,579
clicks. You know, the only thing I know that's that easy is, again,

1387
01:25:21,579 --> 01:25:25,099
PodPage. I've walked somebody through making a website in about 10

1388
01:25:25,099 --> 01:25:28,805
minutes. Craigslist, I'll check out with Mark. I'd love to have everything

1389
01:25:28,805 --> 01:25:32,645
under the Squarespace roof. Well, yeah. It's definitely doable. The the one

1390
01:25:32,645 --> 01:25:35,840
thing since we mentioned Wix and it's so dumb

1391
01:25:36,619 --> 01:25:40,380
Wix. Wix Wix has this really Oh

1392
01:25:40,380 --> 01:25:43,685
my god. Yeah. That and you bring up a good point. Can you can you

1393
01:25:43,685 --> 01:25:46,985
pay Squarespace to help? Yeah. There there's they should have a team

1394
01:25:47,605 --> 01:25:51,290
that goes, oh, moving from WordPress, we can help. Yeah. Because I know.

1395
01:25:51,290 --> 01:25:55,050
They'd be they'd be motivated to help you. Just I

1396
01:25:55,050 --> 01:25:58,810
mean, when I moved to Maple Grove Partners, Christian moved me for free. Why

1397
01:25:58,810 --> 01:26:02,535
wouldn't he? It took him you know, because he's, you know, master guru. It's like,

1398
01:26:02,535 --> 01:26:05,995
oh, database call, and there it is. You're done.

1399
01:26:06,375 --> 01:26:10,075
So yeah. I love I love when I work with him. He goes, wait.

1400
01:26:10,340 --> 01:26:13,940
He just says wait. And then you hear click click click click the

1401
01:26:13,940 --> 01:26:17,220
keyboard, you know, doing its thing. And then he's like, okay. Check it now. I

1402
01:26:17,220 --> 01:26:20,744
love that. I love that. Now he brought up a whole point

1403
01:26:20,744 --> 01:26:24,585
here. I'm nervous about moving my feet over there.

1404
01:26:24,585 --> 01:26:28,010
I would not move my feet over there. So if you're on Lipson or Podbean

1405
01:26:28,010 --> 01:26:30,590
or Buzzsprout, uh-uh. Because

1406
01:26:31,450 --> 01:26:35,085
yeah. In in the same way that, you know, I don't have my

1407
01:26:35,085 --> 01:26:38,925
dentist fix my car. I don't want Squarespace. They make beautiful

1408
01:26:38,925 --> 01:26:42,545
websites. Their feeds not so beautiful.

1409
01:26:43,290 --> 01:26:46,970
And, yeah. So depending now, if your

1410
01:26:46,970 --> 01:26:50,810
feed is on WordPress, I would redirect it to my

1411
01:26:50,810 --> 01:26:54,425
host. That's where I'd I'd be back in the day. Oh, your

1412
01:26:54,425 --> 01:26:57,724
host might go out of business. Okay. If you're using, you know,

1413
01:26:58,025 --> 01:27:01,730
Bill's House of Podcast for your host or your yeah.

1414
01:27:01,730 --> 01:27:05,490
But if don't use those people for your your feed,

1415
01:27:05,490 --> 01:27:09,215
but I would I would redirect it back to your host. Your host isn't going

1416
01:27:09,215 --> 01:27:12,495
out of business, and if they do, they'll give you at least a week to,

1417
01:27:12,735 --> 01:27:16,255
to move it. So and then, somebody says here

1418
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,600
I realized we gotta wrap up here. Am I gonna be at Podcast Movement

1419
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:23,820
Evolutions in 2025? That'll be in Chicago, by the way.

1420
01:27:24,405 --> 01:27:28,085
Then, as far as I know, it should be. John Domingo is now a

1421
01:27:28,085 --> 01:27:31,685
member of the School of Podcasting. Well, hallelujah, buddy. Yeah. Check out the

1422
01:27:31,685 --> 01:27:35,040
history courses. Was that the bell? Was that the bell, somebody joining School of Podcasting?

1423
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,040
Don't know. I heard that. It might Let's just say it was. Let's say it

1424
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:41,745
was. If not, it was great. Let's say Yeah. And Welcome, John.

1425
01:27:41,745 --> 01:27:45,345
Yeah. And then somebody says, I humbly applaud Maple Grove for their help in

1426
01:27:45,345 --> 01:27:48,949
migration. Yep. He's a good guy. Nobody better. There's

1427
01:27:48,949 --> 01:27:52,309
nobody better on the back end. And He's a me. I know I'm talking about

1428
01:27:52,309 --> 01:27:56,114
Bill's house of podcasting. Larry says, look. Don't don't attack Bill. He's

1429
01:27:56,114 --> 01:27:59,875
a good guy. Alright. I won't. Enough attacking on people today, but,

1430
01:28:00,435 --> 01:28:04,230
Jimmy d's hosting. Yeah. Jimmy d. So, Jim,

1431
01:28:04,230 --> 01:28:07,990
speaking of, the average guy dot tv, what's come

1432
01:28:08,070 --> 01:28:11,750
what's coming up? Yeah. Took, I like I said, I mentioned I took

1433
01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:15,365
3 weeks off, and I actually have nothing scheduled right now, which is

1434
01:28:15,365 --> 01:28:19,045
kind of scary and freeing all at the same

1435
01:28:19,045 --> 01:28:22,650
time, you know. So so this weekend, not only do I need to work on

1436
01:28:22,650 --> 01:28:25,630
my taxes, but I need to start lining up some guests,

1437
01:28:26,900 --> 01:28:30,594
for with Aaron Lawrence has been posted. It was super popular. Check it

1438
01:28:30,594 --> 01:28:34,275
out today. Home gadgetgeeks.com. Yeah. On the school of

1439
01:28:34,275 --> 01:28:38,110
podcasting, I was gonna play an interview with

1440
01:28:38,110 --> 01:28:41,950
Katie Brinkley. She's a social media guru. And I think

1441
01:28:41,950 --> 01:28:45,070
I'm going to do kind of a what I learned at podcast movement kind of

1442
01:28:45,070 --> 01:28:48,695
thing. Some of the things I liked, some of the things I didn't like,

1443
01:28:49,635 --> 01:28:53,340
probably a rant on YouTube again, because, you know, those are always fun.

1444
01:28:53,580 --> 01:28:57,040
And, just there's a lot I have a cool because of my podcast story,

1445
01:28:57,580 --> 01:29:00,780
you know, all sorts of little pieces parts, and sometimes I call those like a

1446
01:29:00,780 --> 01:29:04,505
stew because it's like, here's like 6 things I wanna talk about. None

1447
01:29:04,505 --> 01:29:07,945
of them are big enough to be an entire episode, so I smoosh them all

1448
01:29:07,945 --> 01:29:11,559
together. And then, we'll use Katie for the

1449
01:29:11,559 --> 01:29:15,320
following week. But as always, thank you to the awesome chat room that

1450
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:18,824
is here. We are here live every Saturday. Ask the podcast

1451
01:29:18,885 --> 01:29:22,505
coach.com/live10:30 EST.

1452
01:29:23,125 --> 01:29:26,949
And, I'm not going anywhere that I know of. I'm go I'm gonna

1453
01:29:26,949 --> 01:29:30,489
be at, the, mhmm, Content

1454
01:29:30,550 --> 01:29:34,230
Entrepreneur Expo in Cleveland, but I'm not going as a Libsyn person. I'm that's

1455
01:29:34,230 --> 01:29:37,755
coming out of my pocket. That's May. So if you're in Cleveland

1456
01:29:38,215 --> 01:29:41,335
and you're going to that event, let me know. I might even drag you down

1457
01:29:41,335 --> 01:29:45,100
to Akron for some Luigi's pizza, but that would be a drive.

1458
01:29:45,100 --> 01:29:48,220
That'd be like 2 hours an hour down to get pizza and then an hour

1459
01:29:48,220 --> 01:29:51,875
back. So it'd have to be really good pizza. But, anyway, we will see

1460
01:29:51,875 --> 01:29:55,554
you next week with another fun filled episode of ask the

1461
