In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette  and guest Sam Waines from Barn 2 Plugins dive into the world of video content creation within the WordPress community. They discuss practical tips on equipment, editing software, and the importance of audio quality. Both share personal experiences, challenges, and lessons learned, emphasizing storytelling and authenticity as keys to audience engagement. The conversation also covers adapting to trends like short-form video and balancing technical skills with creativity. The episode offers actionable advice and inspiration for aspiring content creators looking to improve their video production and connect with viewers.Top TakeawaysContent Is King—Even with Imperfect Production: Across the discussion, Michelle and Sam stress that storytelling, relevance, and usefulness matter more than having flawless lighting, audio, or editing. Viewers are drawn to authentic, valuable stories, not just polished visuals. Imperfection is not a deal-breaker if the message resonates.You Don't Need Expensive Gear to Get Started: Michelle began her podcast with just her built-in Mac mic; Sam started with a $12 lav mic. Both reinforced that starting with what you have—whether it's free software like Audacity, basic webcams, or a phone—is more than enough. You can upgrade incrementally as your content and skills grow.Audio Setup and Environment Make a Big Difference: Simple adjustments like mic placement, soundproofing with rugs or curtains, and checking input levels (especially after software updates) can dramatically improve audio quality. Sam recommends keeping recording levels around 25–50% and watching for clipping using tools like OBS or native Mac settings.Mentioned In The Show:Barn 2 PluginsNomad With UsDaVinci ResolveBlue YetiSony a6400WordPress.orgElementorStreamYardZoom Adobe RushAudacityDescript GarageBand iMovie Screen StudioMira teleprompter software

Send us a textDigital ownership is evolving rapidly, and nowhere is this more evident than in Telegram's thriving ecosystem. Alex, CMO of DOGS and Open Builders, takes us on a journey through the revolutionary world of digital collectibles that's transforming how millions of users engage with Web3.The conversation begins with the fascinating origin story of DOGS, starting as a simple sketch by Pavel Durov himself for a charity auction supporting orphanages. This meaningful beginning blossomed into a movement that gathered millions of community members in just days and achieved a Binance listing within two months. The narrative then shifts to how stickers serve as powerful onboarding tools for Web2 users entering the blockchain space.What makes Telegram's digital collectibles truly unique is their built-in utility. Unlike traditional NFTs that struggled with practical applications, these stickers and collectibles integrate seamlessly into users' daily communications. "Collectibles on Telegram have this built-in utility from the get-go. They are very easy to flex, they have their place within the Telegram ecosystem and they always will be," Alex explains.Perhaps most fascinating is how these digital assets foster genuine community building. Owners of particular stickers have organically created exclusive chat groups, coordinated marketing efforts, produced merchandise, and even arranged real-life meetups. These communities blend crypto veterans with newcomers, facilitating knowledge transfer and creating shared experiences around digital assets—something Alex notes "many meme coins would be jealous to see."The market performance speaks for itself, with some stickers seeing price increases of up to 44,000% and trading volumes hitting all-time highs on secondary markets. Major collaborations with brands like Pudgy Penguins and Doodles demonstrate the growing appeal of this digital ownership model.As the TON blockchain ecosystem continues evolving, gaming collectibles emerge as the next frontier, with players already trading rare skins and items even before official marketplaces launch. For entrepreneurs, this represents an unprecedented opportunity to define entirely new categories in an ecosystem where "every product you ship is something entirely new" that could potentially "redefine the whole industry."This episode was recorded through a Descript call on June 10, 2025.

We discuss real-world examples, from creating marketing content at lightning speed to AI video editing with Descript, and even how tools like Reimagine Home can help you virtually stage and redesign properties in seconds. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just curious about new tech, Craig drops invaluable nuggets on avoiding AI pitfalls, choosing the right platforms for your workflow, and the importance of always treating artificial intelligence as your first draft—not your final word.

"There's a youthful, hungry population here—and you can feel the energy in the streets every day." – Hugo BoschI absolutely loved this episode. Hugo was not only a fantastic guest, but also someone who opened my eyes to a side of Vietnam I hadn't properly explored before: the stock market and capital markets. I'll admit it, even as a long-term expat here, I never really thought much about investing in Vietnam. But after this conversation, I came away with a whole new perspective—not just about stocks and finance, but about the real growth and potential happening in this country every day.From his insights into Vietnam's economic boom to rowing through weed-covered patches of the Saigon River, Hugo brought stories, stats, and humour in equal measure. And as always, we kept it real—talking about what it's like to build a life here, why people stay, and what might make them leave.Key Talking PointsVietnam's stock market: how it works, how fast it's growing, and why foreign investors should care.The "demographic dividend" and how a young, urbanising population is fuelling rapid development.The joy (and danger) of motorbikes in Saigon, plus the shift toward electric bikes.Rowing on the Saigon River—yes, that's a thing—and what makes it wildly different from the Thames.How foreigners view Vietnam vs. the economic reality on the ground.Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & Hugo's origin story06:00 – The joy of riding motorbikes (and switching to electric)11:00 – What are capital markets?

Send us a text"We shouldn't be the homework assignment. We should be the song that you listen to on the radio," says Ariel Wengroff, EVP of Communications and Marketing at Ledger. This captivating insight captures the essence of how one of crypto's most trusted security companies approaches education in a space often overwhelmed with technical complexity.Throughout our conversation, Ariel reveals the strategic thinking behind Ledger's approach to storytelling and brand-building at the intersection of technology, security, and culture. Having produced "Woman with Gloria Steinem" and led content at Vice before joining Ledger, she brings a unique perspective on how to make challenging topics accessible and engaging.The discussion takes us behind the scenes of Ledger's educational initiatives, including their "Don't Get Rekt" claymation series and their newly announced partnership with the San Antonio Spurs. This collaboration isn't just a logo on a jersey; it's a thoughtful alignment between a French tech company and an NBA team with strong French connections, focused on youth STEM education and financial literacy. As Ariel explains, NBA fans have twice the purchase intent for crypto compared to average consumers, making this partnership both culturally relevant and strategically sound.What stands out most is Ledger's commitment to long-term thinking rather than short-term marketing wins. From making their education platform entirely free to ensuring diverse representation in their marketing materials, every decision reflects a deeper understanding of their mission to empower people through digital sovereignty.For marketers, creators, and anyone interested in how technology brands can build authentic connections with audiences, this episode offers valuable insights into creating content that feels like entertainment rather than education, yet manages to accomplish both.

"I took my entire severance pay and blew it on a two-month trip to Asia — and that decision changed my life." - Hao TranIn this episode, I felt a strong sense of kindred spirit with Hao. We both came to Vietnam almost exactly nine years ago and ended up building something rooted in storytelling. I loved Hao's honesty about how Vietcetera started from nothing — no business plan, no roadmap — just curiosity and persistence. What stuck with me most was his idea that podcasting and media aren't just about broadcasting, but about representation: Vietnam telling its own story, from the inside out.He reminded me of the importance of long-term vision. When people told him they'd run out of stories, he proved that Vietnam is overflowing with them. This is more than media; it's cultural documentation. And honestly, that's what I hope the Vietnam Podcast becomes as well.Top 5 Takeaways - Hao came to Vietnam with no plans and just $300/month: A leap of faith that would unknowingly launch Vietcetera.- Vietcetera's first-ever feature was rejected by its subject: A lesson in humility, editing, and persistence.- The first paid advertorial turned out to be a voucher, not cash: Business lessons in transparency and expectation-setting.- There was no business model — it was built on energy, value exchange, and curiosity.- Mission to “bring Vietnam to the world” is not only alive — it's overflowing with untold stories.Chapters & Timestamps04:30-From Tech Layoff to Vietnam Leap06:30-Meeting Andrew Frazier & Early Immersions09:30-The First Vietcetera Blog: Rejection & Rewrite19:00-Living on $300 a Month in Vietnam22:00-Language, Culture & Being a Vietnamese-American Boss24:30- Remote Work, Human Connection & Gen Z Trends31:00-Youth Identity, Content Influence & the Monoculture39:00-Mission to Bring Vietnam to the World41:00-Supporting the Next Generation of Vietnamese Talent"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

UX consultants Dan Szuc and Jo Wong observe peer-to-peer connection sorely missing in workplace culture and discuss how a lack of empathy and poor conduct in business settings contribute to high disengagement rates. From a UX consultancy perspective, they point out the importance of collective responsibility, empathy, and human soft skills that are harder to master. Drawing parallels between workplace dynamics and their experiences in theater and education, their view offers a different way of seeing workplace culture and the need for a cultural shift toward intentional, meaningful interactions. Their books, 'Make Meaningful Work' and 'Make Meaningful Culture,' offer practical insights for fostering a healthier work environment.The summary below was AI-generated using Descript.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:21 Discussing Workplace Culture and Disengagement01:18 Dan and Joe's Journey in UX02:42 The Importance of Empathy in the Workplace05:15 Dan's Story: From Drama to Business Culture06:54 Fundamentals of Successful Culture12:13 Challenges in Modern Workplaces19:39 The Role of Education in Shaping Culture22:25 AI and the Future of Work27:05 The Problem with Short-Termism and Attention Spans28:01 Practical Approaches to Education28:35 The Importance of Curiosity in Learning30:08 Engagement and Responsibility in Schools32:57 Avoidance and Responsibility in Workplaces33:49 The Role of Process in Work Culture35:16 Introducing the SPARKLE Framework44:17 The Impact of Early Life Experiences49:10 Promoting Meaningful Work and Culture50:21 Final Thoughts and ResourcesFind them here:Subscribe to their newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/make-meaningful-work-7327884648296972288Find them here: https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/https://www.apogeehk.com/https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/bookshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/173792823X?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520https://www.makemeaningfulwork.com/aboutHost Dawna Jones has been podcasting since 2008.

In this episode of iCantCU, I discuss two major audio description failures—one that's on me, and one that's simply unacceptable. The first happened when I was at the NFB National Center in Baltimore for the IEP Advocacy Academy. I shot a Federation Focus video to show what it's like there, but I totally missed the mark on describing some of the visuals. Thanks to Auphonic's amazing processing, it cleaned up the audio so well that it actually removed sounds people needed to hear—like a ball rolling in a game and doors opening. So, blind folks watching had no idea what was happening for parts of it. My bad. The second fail? A company presented at an OVR meeting and played a video with zero audio description. Just music. No clue what was on the screen. And this was in a room full of people with disabilities—including blind folks. Totally missed the point of accessibility. Plus, I give a quick update on White Canes Connect, which just hit two “best of” podcast lists, and my guest host spot on That Real Blind Tech Show. All the links are below.

“I got kicked out of college. That was the moment I had to grow up—not just as a player, but as a man.” – Davon DillardWhen I first saw Davon Dillard playing for the Saigon Heat, I knew I had to talk to him. He stood out immediately—not just because of his athleticism on the court, but because there was something about his presence. He looked focused. Grounded.

“If you're doing a weekly podcast, the fastest way to double your downloads… is to do two episodes a week.” – Gary ArndtWhat an incredible episode this was. Gary Arndt isn't just a successful podcaster — he's a walking case study in consistency, discipline, and strategy. I've followed Gary for years, and to have him on Smarter Podcasting was not only a privilege, but a personal highlight.Gary's podcast Everything Everywhere Daily has over 50 million downloads, and unlike many shows, it's a solo, scripted, short-form, daily podcast. No guests. No fluff. Just educational content delivered with precision. He does it all himself — and he does it every day.As a podcaster and podcast producer, I found this conversation both inspiring and humbling. Gary breaks the rules you think you're supposed to follow — no niche, no guests, no endless chitchat — and instead builds a show he wishes someone else had made. And it works.This is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to more than once.Key TakeawaysYour show needs a reason to exist: Most podcasts fail because they're not actually compelling. Forget interviews (unless you're landing A-listers): Gary chose to do a solo, scripted show because the guest-based format is oversaturated and hard to scale without big names.Frequency + Quality = Growth: A daily show means more discovery opportunities. More reps. More downloads. But it only works if the content is great.Podcast promotion works best… on podcasts: TikTok, Instagram, social media in general? Nice for awareness, but they don't convert. Podcast listeners hang out on podcast apps — meet them there.Invest in your show like a real business: If you're not putting in money or time, don't expect big results. Growth doesn't happen by accident — it's intentional, strategic, and yes, expensive.Consistency builds audience trust: Evergreen episodes, a predictable format, and daily drops create listener habits. That's why thousands have joined Gary's “Completionist Club.”Chapters and Timestamps00:00 – Intro: Why Gary Arndt is a podcasting anomaly03:00 – Why most interview podcasts don't grow07:50 – The secret power of daily, scripted, short-form content13:40 – Gary's take on investing in your podcast from day one27:10 – Why he quit TikTok (and social media) despite viral views30:30 – The best way to grow: advertise where podcast listeners already areSend us a textEmail me (niall@sevenmillionbikes.com) or contact me on Seven Million Bikes Podcasts Facebook or Instagram to book your free Podcast Audit!Thanks to James Mastroianni from The Wrong Side Of Hollywood for the endorsement!

Send us a textThe digital landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as privacy awareness grows. What once seemed like a fringe concern has become mainstream, with users increasingly questioning how their data is used and stored. Mathias Buus Madsen, CEO of Holepunch and a leading voice in open source development, stands at the forefront of this shift with a radical vision: eliminating servers entirely.After more than a decade dedicated to peer-to-peer innovation, Matthias has watched public perception evolve dramatically. "Things were different," he reflects on earlier days when Facebook was continuously growing and privacy concerns were dismissed with "I have nothing to hide." Today's reality looks markedly different, with each passing year bringing greater privacy consciousness—a trend Matthias describes as "bad for the world but very good for peer-to-peer."Holepunch, backed by Tether, has developed what they call the "Pear Runtime"—a foundation for building applications that operate without servers. Their flagship app Keet demonstrates these principles in action, functioning like Telegram but with a crucial difference: complete decentralization. "If we stop working, the apps will still work," Matthias explains, highlighting the revolutionary independence these applications maintain.This serverless approach creates extraordinary freedom for developers. Without infrastructure costs to consider, features can be added based purely on their value to users, not their operational expense. The encryption-first design means even the developers themselves can't access user data—sometimes frustrating users accustomed to service recovery, but ultimately providing unprecedented privacy protection.The intersection of AI with peer-to-peer technology presents particularly fascinating possibilities. While centralized AI models raise serious privacy concerns (who knows what happens to data shared with these systems?), decentralized approaches could empower users to make better decisions without surrendering their personal information. As Matthias puts it, the combination could be "the most exciting almost in human history" or, if hyper-centralized, "the most dystopian and scary thing."This episode was recorded through a Descript call on May 13, 2025.

Performance is taking center stage in the beauty and personal care ingredients sector, as revealed on the floor of NYSCC Suppliers Day 2025. Host Victoria Meyer explores the notable shift away from buzzwords like “sustainability” and “natural,” uncovering how companies are reframing their focus towards innovation, plant-based solutions, and advanced product performance. Victoria is joined by John Harrold of Zinco Verde, who discusses novel, energy-efficient zinc oxide for sunscreens, and Christoph Krumm of Sironix Renewables, highlighting breakthroughs in bio-based surfactants derived from agricultural waste. The conversation unpacks how trends like neurocosmetics, microbiomes, and a pragmatic approach to environmental benefits are shaping the industry's direction. Get a first-hand perspective on what's driving R&D, purchasing, and consumer choices in today's dynamic beauty ingredient market. Gain insights on the following topics: Innovation Takes Center Stage: Companies are pivoting away from buzzwords like “sustainability” and “natural,” putting real innovation and performance at the heart of product development. Neurocosmetics and Microbiome Science and how new ingredients target mood and neurological benefits alongside appearance, while microbiome-friendly formulations gain traction. Sustainability Reconsidered: Companies shift from "sustainability" rhetoric to pragmatic solutions and value-driven innovation. Plant-Based Performance: Industry messaging replaces "natural" with "plant-based" and "performance”. Start-up leaders discuss bringing advanced technologies to market  Killer Quote: “If you had asked me this when we spun out as a company, I would have told you bio based is the innovation, right? That is the reason for existing. That's really not the case. As we found. Bio based ingredients matter. People still want them. The reason for existing for us is performance.” — Christoph Krumm, CEO of Sironix  0:00:24 Bonnie's career in chemicals 0:02:51 Responsible Care principles at Evonik  0:04:20 Sustainability's growing importance. 0:05:13 Evonik's sustainability pillars: next-generation solutions, technology, and culture. 0:06:34 Customer demand for sustainable solutions  0:08:29 The importance of culture in driving change 0:13:49 Leadership and career lessons, women in leadership roles, Bonnie's career advice   ***Don't miss an episode: Subscribe to The Chemical Show on your favorite podcast player.  ***Like what you hear?

Special Guest Robert Matzkin www.Robmatzkin.com In this powerhouse episode of Profits Unleashed, I sit down with serial entrepreneur and business strategist Rob Matkin—founder of over 16 companies and a man who's had multiple successful exits. This conversation is a masterclass in scaling with clarity, courage, and focus—even when life throws you curveballs. Rob opens up about his journey, from struggling with dyslexia to turning it into a superpower that shaped his leadership style and resilience. What started as a simple favor—giving a friend advice—quickly evolved into his purpose: helping entrepreneurs grow businesses that are both scalable and sustainable. We dive deep into the traps many founders fall into, especially the infamous Superman Syndrome, and how trying to do everything yourself can be the biggest bottleneck in your business. Rob gets real about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people—from co-founders to investors—and why you should never build a business alone again. One of my biggest takeaways? Scaling doesn't have to feel chaotic. Rob breaks down his ladder-based strategy for sustainable growth, starting with a detailed business audit across seven core areas and moving upward, one step at a time. It's all about clarity, intentionality, and momentum. We also explore the emotional side of scaling—those moments when fear creeps in, whether it's hiring your first team member, fulfilling a massive order, or preparing to raise capital. Rob shares how founders can move past that fear and become truly investable by focusing on their team, their coachability, and their execution. Key Takeaways from This Episode: I learned that doing everything myself isn't a badge of honor—it's a bottleneck. Building with the right co-founder and support team changes everything. Scaling is a process, not a leap—it's one rung at a time. Investors care more about execution and coachability than just a flashy pitch. My fear is valid, but it shouldn't drive the strategy.
