There is a lot of turbulence in the mental health space. All kinds of mischief is going on and a portion of Americans who are trying to go back to 1862. It is crazy but I don't think that is a strong enough word for it. In this episode, I have a very simplistic definition of what is an AI Language Model and what is a scripted AI chatbot and a wee bit on what is or could be a generative A.I. chatbot or treatment option. We need to understand what is happening in the entrepreneurial mental health market place. There is a collision of problems; Not enough mental health providers. Financial access to mental health care. Geographical and transportation access to mental health care. and a whole bunch more.... There are serious, thoughtful ethically motivated research into using new technologies to provide access to anxiety and other types of mental health treatment. And then there is the bum rush of companies and private investors wanting to slap something up against a wall and hopes it sticks around long enough to make a profit. Ooh, almost forgot - opportunistic low life vermin as well. Case in point. I recently got an email that told me that mental health is the next hot niche. And that for x amount of money, I could have oodles of videos explaining about, mental health and wellness topics. My best and unsupported guess is that somebody somewhere has created a bunch of A.I. videos with A.I. voices that scraped content from multiple places and then have an AI video generator to create into various social media video formats. This type of income enhancement is nothing new. And the offer of private label content is a old as the printing press. Rich guy want to show he is impressive. Hires ghost writer to enhance his reputation. We are being flooded with crappy content for profit. My fellow travelers on the road, it is rough but our power and defense is being informed. Let's get to it. If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.

Who remembers seeing their first CommonCraft video? I remember seeing RSS in Plain English back in the day and thinking, "Wow, this guy if FANTASTIC!" That particular video is now considered a classic, and low budget, compared to today's Explainer Videos. But the cool thing is that it STILL works. It takes a relatively complex topic and explains it "in plain english". If you've always felt like you could never "do video", then this is a must attend event for you. Lee and his wife taught themselves how to do it and their unique style led to an entire industry.

Today, Common Craft produces educational guides, ready-made videos, and digital visuals that are used by educators in over 50 countries. Lee and his partner Sachi are Common Craft's only employees and work from their home off the coast of Washington State. Episode Highlights Why is it so hard for us to explain things? “We do it every day and we can take it for granted.” Lee went on to note that, just as learning to be a better runner, you can learn to be a better explainer. The curse of knowledge gets in the way. “It curses us by forcing us to use jargon, add examples, and more.” Lee notes that it's best to err on the side of being familiar. “We're not dumbing it down, we're making it familiar.” How to make an explainer video. Common Craft has produced explainer videos that have earned over 50 million views online. All of these are grounded in solid explanations. Where do you start? “Start like you're talking to your parents—explaining what you do and why it matters.” What brand has made Lee smile recently? On a recent trip to Costco, Lee got a new Winix air purifier that connected seamlessly to his home wifi.

Lee and his wife, Sachi, responded to the promise of the internet by building a home-based business, Common Craft, that was profitable yet small enough to pivot and innovate.

What is that? Whilst it may be difficult to achieve this, it is certain that we can work towards harmony with every area of our lives. As you contemplate scaling your business, the ideal is to have it do so as your own life scales. This week, The Entrepreneurial You podcast invites Lee LeFever to talk about building a business that scales with your life. Here is a snippet of what Lee shared: “I think that it's time for people to think differently about success and respectability in business. For so long, the only value that has mattered to a lot of people is the size of your bank account or the size of your paycheck, or the size of your home or how nice of a car you have. That stuff matters. I think sometimes people are prone to outsource their values to other people or to magazines or the things they see on TV and don't understand what makes them happy and what makes them satisfied with their life. And I think that if people do have an opportunity to step back and think about what they value and where their happiness comes from that they can find ways to orient their business to support those things and that might not mean money. It might mean family, it might mean Community it might mean faith it might mean Independence. There's a long list of things that you can be rich with and that your business can support that I think is respectable.” Listen to the episode and let us know what is your biggest takeaway.

Lee LeFever is todays guest joining us on the inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. He has a belief similar to us at Join Up Dots, whereby he believes that more often than not big enough is good enough when it comes to online business. He's inspiring entrepreneurs to rethink business success and design businesses to be intentionally small, scalable, and focused on a healthy quality of life. As he says "I'm fortunate that doing something I love has become my career. In 2003, I founded Common Craft, which is recognized worldwide as starting the “explainer movie” movement, and it has employed me as a media maker ever since. More than anything, I am a writer. Sometimes my words become scripts for Common Craft videos, chapters in a book or issues of a newsletter. Other times, they're used for mediocre attempts at humor in text messages. I wield my words with great care and benefit from having my wife, Sachi, as my editor. How The Dots Joined Up For Lee Most people consider me personable and easy-going. I smile a lot, maybe too much. My natural setting is optimistic and generally happy, with a side of anxiety. If we met in person, I would ask you a lot of questions. I try to live my life with great intention and a focus on quality. To me, this means remaining in control of my time and being willing to take risks and accept trade-offs in order to craft the life I want. Isnt that what everyone wants in life and in business. Get away from the ego driven, how big is it all movement, and focus on building a business that supports the life that you love. So did he start with this mantra to life, or was it the same as most of us, when the monster we create starts squeezing the life out of the reasons we wanted to build it in the first place? And what would be the simplest way of creating this in our lives? Focus on the business or the life that we want to lead? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Lee LeFever

On this episode of the podcast is Lee LeFever. He and his wife (Sachi) co-founded the company Common Craft. Lee is the author of the Art of Explanation. He recently published his second book, Big Enough. The inspiration for the book comes from Lee’s personal entrepreneurial journey. Despite the opportunity for growth, he and Sachi made a commitment to keep their company small. He is living proof that success and happiness doesn’t come from being bigger, it comes from being big enough. We discuss the pivotal moment when the Common Craft video style was born and how their groundbreaking explainer videos went viral. We dive into the creation of their new niche and the demand that ensued. We talk about how putting goodness into the universe shouldn't be for the karma. We get nerdy with our new favorite software suggestions.

Welcome to episode #749 of Six Pixels of Separation. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #749 - Host: Mitch Joel. In the early days of blogging and podcasting (2004/2005), I spent a lot of time teaching business professionals about digital marketing and media. One of the more confounding technologies to explain was RSS - the way in which someone would subscribe to a blog/podcast, and how they would be notified when something new was published. RSS stood for Really Simple Syndication, but it was really hard to explain. I came across a video on YouTube that was called, RSS In Plain English, by a company called, Common Craft. They used a whiteboard and paper cutouts to explain RSS, and followed it up with countless other videos. These videos became so popular that their format was then copied by many until it became a genre unto itself. Lee LeFever was the founder (and maker) of those videos. Known as the "explainer video genre," Lee (along with his wife, Sachi) have continued on growing this business. In 2012, he published his first book, The Art of Explanation, and more recently his sophomore effort, Big Enough - Building a Business that Scales with Your Lifestyle. Big Enough will help you chart a different kind of career path. If you're interested in entrepreneurship, business strategy, and e-commerce, this show is perfect for you. Enjoy the conversation...

Jill and Jeff sit down with Sachi and Lee LeFever, the co-founders of Common Craft, the originators of the (now) ubiquitous whiteboard explainer video. Despite massive success, they’ve remained small, a two-person shop – Lee’s book on the subject, “Big Enough,” was just released – and they couldn’t be happier. Topics include how having entrepreneurs as parents may have helped with navigating the early days, particularly the decision to stay small (10:48); why they’re playing a different game, why that’s OK and why an alarm clock doesn’t matter (21:50); why traveling with your partner – longer than two weeks – before going into business together is VITAL (24:58); where their love story began – Vegas, baby! – and a first date… with Mom?!? (31:50); Sachi’s unofficial title of CPP – Chief Party Pooper (38:33); is training necessary to do this? (44:45); and how much of our lives should we reveal?

Today’s guest feels that entrepreneurship is about giving yourself the freedom, the freedom to live the life that you want. I’m fascinated by him because Lee LeFever co-created Common Craft, a site that makes technology easy for people to understand. Here’s are some examples: Google hired him to create a video to explain Google drive. Dropbox famously featured his video to explain the new idea of Dropbox. I thought all these new video apps would have crushed his business. But they didn’t. He kept evolving. We’re going to find out how in this interview. Lee LeFever is the co-creator of Common Craft which produces ready-made videos and visuals that help educators explain complex ideas quickly. He’s also the author of Big Enough: Building a Business that Scales with Your Lifestyle.

You may remember the clever explainer videos of social media and Internet culture from back in the mid-2000s by Common Craft. That business, run by Lee LeFever and his wife Sachi, continues to produce clever explainer videos for clients and its community of subscribers still today. LeFever's new book Big Enough chronicles his entrepreneurial journey and explains how others can build a business on their own terms. He joined Jason Falls on Digging Deeper to talk about his company's path, his insistence on shaping a company built to suit him, his wife and their lifestyle and not falling victim to the predicable choices of bigger, faster, richer capitalism often projects.

My biggest competition has always been myself. Additionally, I'm a spender. Or, at least I used to be, and I've put a lot of thought into my spending habits and what that means for my lifestyle and business. Entrepreneurs often feel pressure to have as big a business as possible because of the competition or the false notion that a business isn't “real” unless it's a certain size. I battle with this quite a bit. My business as a photographer was much bigger than my current business. And despite being very happy with both my professional and personal life, I sometimes feel driven to have a bigger business than I do. Many of us who are self-employed are constantly trying to figure out: when it comes to our happiness, what is ‘big enough?' If your business doesn't make you happy, is it worth it? Better yet, how can you optimize your business to live the life you want but also keeps you happy in ways other than money? To dive deeper into this I've brought on the co-founder of Common Craft and author of The Art of Explanation and Big Enough, Lee LeFever. Since 2007, Common Craft has won numerous awards; worked with respected brands like LEGO, Google, Intel, and Ford; and created original explainer videos that have earned over 50 million views. Today, Common Craft produces educational guides, ready-made videos, and digital visuals that are used by educators in over fifty countries. Lee and his partner, Sachi, are Common Craft's only employees and work from their home off the coast of Washington State. Learn how to manage an abundance that is right for you, by downloading this episode now. THE WARRIOR OF SATISFACTION “People are seeing that ‘the good life' comes with other factors.” - Lee LeFever Highlights - Choice is power. The “good life” can come with being rich in ways other than money. If you're going to have a business that's ‘big enough' you have to come to terms with the money that is just enough as well. Having your financial house in order gives you the power to choose what size business is enough. Gamifying your spending and saving can help put it in perspective. Studies show that making around $80K/year is where most feel satisfied with their lives whereas making over $200K/year often provides less satisfaction. Deciding on constraints up front can drive you to end with the business you truly want. Having a Lifestyle business doesn't mean it's not scalable. Self-employment brings more personal development than you might expect.

When GoDaddy hired Christopher Carfi at the start of 2014, it caught my attention. GoDaddy was a company that, at one time, I thought I would never want to be a customer of. I didn’t like the brand, didn’t like marketing, didn’t like upselling, didn’t like the old CEO. But after Blake Irving was hired as CEO, I noticed positive change. That was nice, but they still didn’t have my business. When they hired Christopher, it caught my eye because here was an experienced community mind that I respected joining a company I once didn’t. I watched their continued cultural shift and their embrace of community. Through 5+ years of solid work, GoDaddy has washed away that old perspective I had and, somehow, they won me over, where my previous registrar, Enom, had neglected me. I am now a GoDaddy customer. Christopher joins the show to talk about this shift, plus: What community means in a world where we’re interacting with Alexa and Google Assistant How community fits into content marketing The things we can learn from Burning Man, which Christopher is a veteran of Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Higher Logic. Big Quotes “Working with and engaging with communities and community members and customers and prospects and employees is an ongoing, iterative, never-ending process, as opposed to a campaign.” -@ccarfi “[Content marketing for community means] being able to provide a platform for our community members to share their stories, whether they are on the blog, whether they are interacting in our online community that we have onsite, whether they are interacting with each other in other spaces like WordCamps, for example. Those are all different facets of that kind of community engagement and where community and content intersect, and the interesting stories, the things that are really engaging for customers and prospects, and really energizing for us, are hearing all of those great stories and making sure that we can help to really be an amplifier of those stories.” -@ccarfi “If the only metric that you’re looking at is first month sales from traffic that came in from Google via SEO and search, the results are just not going to be there, because it doesn’t work that quickly. If you look at the arc of the amount of time it takes, it’s three months, six months, nine months, in some cases, before a piece of content really starts to catch on. And I think community is the same sort of thing. “If you’re planting a garden and you want a whole bunch of great things for Thanksgiving in the fall, well, you don’t plant them in October.” -@ccarfi “Looking at things in a year-over-year type of frame, as opposed to week-over-week, is the place you need to get to really start to see, ‘Oh, wow, this investment [in community] – and it is an investment – it takes that long to really start to mature and start to get the benefits.'” -@ccarfi About Christopher Carfi Christopher Carfi heads up global content marketing for GoDaddy. Over his career, he spent nearly ten years as part of the advanced technology group at Andersen Consulting/Accenture; has headed up product, marketing, and product marketing groups, at a number of early stage companies; has been a startup founder; and was part of the early team at Ant’s Eye View, which was acquired by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. He joined GoDaddy in 2014. He holds a degree in computer science from Northwestern University and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon, is originally from Chicago and currently lives in Silicon Valley with his family.

Students want more use of gaming technology in their learning. 64% of students report that they are gamers and consider that a must have in their schools. Only 15% of teachers see that as a means of effective teaching. Source: eSchool News. 2. DimensionM: Learn Algebra through a Second Life style interface and solve problems in the game that teach algebraic concepts. 3. Recommended game resources: * Create a graphic novel from a traditional novel using Comic Life or spice up your notes with creative visuals using the Comic Life software to mix up your notes and presentations. * Restaurant Empire: Create a restaurant, choose your recipes, hire your chefs and manage your empire in either a free limited version or a full pay version. More simulation games from this group here. (NMSA) * Oil Tycoon: start with a small plot of land, some cash and build your empire to rule the world! * Civilization: Take on the attributes of a past civilization and guide it through time. The always entertaining version of "what if" in History. Barzun, Graff, and Breisach (Historiographers and researchers) might take issue with it to a degree, but it gives the student a way to investigate what happened vs. what might have happened if they knew then what you know now. All that without worrying about messing up the space/timeline thingy and figuring out a Heisenberg Principle Compensator device . . . * Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom: Online simulation of China's Middle Kingdom. * Health Care simulators. Online Insight: Challenges beat Cheerleading Simply providing online discussion forums is not enough to keep students engaged in virtual courses, according to educators who are well-versed in online instruction: For real learning to occur in an online setting, virtual-school educators must establish clear rubrics and enforce rules for participation.

Introduction: In this podcast we take a look at some of our recent blog content.Gordon: Mike, you recently published a blog titled Web 2.0: RSS Explained. You did not actually describe RSS but referenced some online content that is just excellent. Can you fill us in?Here's a link to a great video created by CommonCraft - a consulting company focused on helping companies and organizations integrate online communities into their businesses.All organizations would be wise to adopt CommonCraft's core belief: "that, in the future, organizations will rely on their community of customers to remain competitive".Amazon, YouTube and digg are great examples of businesses that not only value their community of users, but have built a business model around that community.In just under four minutes, the video provides a simple, easy to understand explanation of RSS - a technology that I and many other have become dependent on to get our news and information. The video also uses a a really clever presentation method - yet another alternative to the overused powerpoint slideshow.Mike: Gordon, you wrote an interesting blog on Proximity Marketing and the use of Bluetooth devices. Can you fill us in?Gordon: Most of us have a pretty good idea of what Bluetooth is but before I talk about proximity marketing maybe you could give us a quick primer on Bluetooth. Wikipedia defines it as follows:"Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency. The Bluetooth specifications are developed and licensed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group"."Bluetooth is a radio standard and communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent: 1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters) based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device"."Bluetooth lets these devices communicate with each other when they are in range. The devices use a radio communications system, so they do not have to be in line of sight of each other, and can even be in other rooms, as long as the received transmission is powerful enough".Simply put - short range, two-way and, up to this point for most of us in the United States, personal device to personal device communications. Many of us have Bluetooth capable cell phones and are using wireless earpieces for talking while driving or with our hands full. Most laptop PC's come with Bluetooth now and allow wireless attachment and sync with cell phones and other devices.Mike: Gordon, how is this technology being used in Proximity Marketing?In other parts of the world it's been a little different. Companies like BlooZone, are using Bluetooth applications to provide "location aware services" such as proximity marketing. BlueBlitz is another good example of one company that is developing some interesting Bluetooth applications. Here's a piece from their website:"With MagicBeamer you can transfer any information or advertisment to a mobile phone or PDA. It's even possible to sell products or create prize games! And all that 24/7, all year long and through walls and shopping windows"."The transfer of the data is done with Bluetooth(TM) technology. Your advantage: no transfer fees of any kind! It doesn't matter, whether you reach 100 or 100.000 customers. No matter what information you offer for download, the transmission is always free".So what you may say - no big deal - it's like sending a text message. Well sort of - some of the content may be that simple however, the key word for the retailer is free! Think in terms of a retailer in a mall and let's say this retailer has purchased one of these Magic Beamers and placed an ad on it. Everyone that comes within range with Bluetooth enabled on their phone, PDA, laptop, etc and with the device in "discoverable" mode will get a message asking if they want to receive an ad from the retailer. Everyone! The retailer does not need to know email addresses or phone numbers - the customer just has to be in range with Bluetooth in discoverable mode. And..... it does not cost a penny in transfer/data fees.Mike: Gordon, you recently blogged about something called Road Apples. Can you tell us a little bit about that?I had an interesting experience while traveling a couple of weeks ago. I was in DC for the day and walking through Regan National Airport to catch my flight back home. I have a tendency to look down at the ground when I'm walking - as a result I find a lot of stuff (sometimes even money!) Well, I found what looked like a brand new 1G USB thumb drive. I scooped it up, went to my gate and, not really thinking twice, turned on my notebook and popped the thumb drive in my machine. I caught myself and said wait a minute, pulled it out and ended up tossing it into a trashcan.On the flight back I got thinking about how careless I had been. I realized I could have picked up a Road Apple and am a little upset I tossed it because it would have been interesting to take a closer look. Here's how Wikipedia defines Road Apples:"A road apple is a real-world variation of a Trojan Horse that uses physical media and relies on the curiosity of the victim. The attacker leaves a malware infected floppy disc, CD ROM or USB key in a location sure to be found (bathroom, elevator, sidewalk), gives it a legitimate looking and curiosity piquing label - and simply waits.Example: Get corporate logo off target's web site, make a disk label using logo and write "Executive Salary Summary Q1 2007" on the front."Let's think about this a minute. Was it a plant? It could have been. Here's my logic - I'm in Regan National Airport in DC - this is the quickest airport to get in and out of and is frequented by Congressmen, Senators, staffers, etc. I've run into my Congressman Richie Neal on a few occasions at National - they all use this airport.A quick search on Amazon indicates I can buy 1G thumb drives for under $10 each and you can get through airport security with thumb drives without a problem - I think I've got 5 or 6 in my bag almost all of the time. Let's say a "social engineer" wants to do a little social engineering and decides to setup a bunch of drives with some malware that does something malicious. This person walks around and drops a drive on the floor every once in a while. For airport access these people would not even have to get through security which requires a ticket purchase - they could just scatter them around the baggage area.Now let's say a staffer picks one of these drives up or a contractor, etc - someone with access to secure government networks. They pick the thumb drive up, bring it to work and plug it into their work computer. Or maybe they plug the thing into their laptop with classified information on it when they get home. Doing so they may have bypassed millions of dollars of perimeter security, firewalls, etc and provided malicious people with content, access, control, etc, etc.We've all heard the stories about laptops being stolen with identification databases on them. Using a method like this computers don't have to be stolen any more. Transfer this same scenario to downtown Manhattan on a beautiful spring day like today or London or Tokyo.....I low-level formatted the drive and then wrote back a bit image I had as backup. I wish I had saved that thumb drive....Gordon: Mike you have some quick updates you wanted to share with us:Apple NewsMay 18th: FCC approves iphone - asked to hold pics and manual fro 45 daysMay 16th: Tech blog Engadget posted a rumor on iphone Mac os x - apple stock price drops, many sell short, 4 bill market value dropiphone release delayed from June until October and leopard OS from October until next yeariPhone and Apple's Leopard OS is on schedule for a June and October release respectivelyMay 13th - AT&T Wireless CEO Stan Sigman gives iphone to president of West Texas A&M University at commencement - Sigman is a 1970 WTAMU graduateMarch at CTIA - AT&T Chief Operations Officer Randall Stephenson showed off an iphone during his keynote speechJoost friends and family - lots of invites!Google universal search - includes YouTube results - puts yahoo and Microsoft further behindGmail - PowerPoint integration begins to roll out
