Three knocks in the night. A wailing cry. A figure in white seen from the corner of your eye. Across cultures, these omens carry the same chilling message—someone will soon die.In this captivating exploration of supernatural death harbingers, folklorist and author Steven J. Rolfes takes us deep into the mysterious world of banshees and their counterparts across different cultures. With his book Beware the Banshee's Cry as our guide, Steven reveals the fascinating complexities behind these ethereal messengers.What exactly is a banshee? Steven presents three possibilities: the ghost of an ancestor with either loving or vindictive intentions, a fairy from the ancient Tuatha de Danann, or perhaps most intriguingly, a transformed Celtic goddess. The name itself—"bean sí" or "woman from the fairy mound"—connects these entities to pre-Christian Celtic traditions that have survived centuries of cultural evolution.From Lady Fanshawe's encounter with a floating red-haired apparition at an O'Brien castle in 1649 to a mysterious black cat haunting a Cincinnati hospital in 1879, these stories span continents and centuries, demonstrating how banshees follow Irish families wherever they travel. We also discover similar traditions worldwide, including Germany's White Lady (Weissefrau) and Mexico's weeping woman (La Llorona), showing how humans across cultures have personified death's approach.The folklore contains surprising elements—banshees' treasured combs that shouldn't be stolen, the protective power of iron against supernatural entities, and the specific families traditionally haunted by these harbingers. Stephen's storytelling brings these traditions to life with both scholarly insight and captivating narrative.Listen now to discover whether your heritage comes with its own supernatural warning system, and consider: if you heard three knocks at your door tonight, would you answer?Tired of websites that have been Frankensteined together using subpar body parts?

What happens when an astrologer's meditation on birth charts opens unexpected doorways to the spirit realm? Susan Reynolds never planned to communicate with the dead—in fact, she was once so terrified of ghosts that she would leave the room if anyone mentioned them. Yet over her 40-year journey as an astrologer, the veil between worlds kept thinning until she could no longer ignore the messages coming through.Susan's remarkable story begins with a routine pre-reading meditation that unexpectedly revealed a client's past life as an Irish farmer's wife with seven children. Though hesitant to share what seemed like a "boring" vision, Susan watched in amazement as this revelation transformed her client's life, lifting the burden of guilt the woman had carried about choosing career over family. This pivotal moment taught Susan to trust the information coming through, regardless of how it might be received.The spiritual downloads didn't stop with past lives. During readings, deceased loved ones began appearing with urgent messages for her clients. "I'm not a medium," Susan insists, explaining that unlike professional mediums, she can't summon spirits at will—they simply show up. One particularly moving encounter involved a father who had passed just weeks earlier, desperately wanting his daughter to know he loved her one last time.For years, Susan maintained a double life—corporate professional by day, intuitive astrologer by nights and weekends—until her spirit guides abruptly announced it was time for her to pursue her calling full-time. This dramatic career shift allowed her unique approach to astrology to fully bloom, combining traditional chart analysis with spiritual insights that address the soul's journey across lifetimes.Whether you're a skeptic, a spiritual seeker, or somewhere in between, Susan's experiences offer a fascinating glimpse into what happens when analytical practice meets intuitive gifts. Her story reminds us that our greatest strengths often emerge from embracing the very things that once frightened us most.Ready to explore your own cosmic blueprint?

What if your soul originated from somewhere beyond Earth? What if consciousness isn't limited to human experience? These are the questions artist and author Jordan Harcourt-Hughes has been exploring through her multifaceted creative practices. Jordan of New South Wales, Australia, practices several distinct arts, including writing, metal sculpture, painting, installations, and creative workshops. She started with writing as a child, but abandoned it at 19 when words felt inadequate to express deeper truths. Part of what inspired this artistic blossoming were extreme out-of-body experiences, which led her to believe she may be an extraterrestrial or "star seed." Since then, she uses her artwork to connect with other-dimensional energies and frequencies. Nowadays, Jordan has come full circle: revisiting writing to explore the cosmic themes in her life. Perhaps it's no surprise, then that her novels star a metalsmith who tunes metal to other-world frequencies. As of this writing, Jordan just published the second novel in the series, "High Country."Show notes at Homespunhaints.comCheck out Jordan's latest work or sign up for one of her mindful art courses at jordanharcourthughes.com.Tired of websites that have been Frankensteined together using subpar body parts?

Who do you know who has skied Grand Targhee who has not skied everywhere? Targhee is not exactly unknown, but it's a little lost in skiing's Bermuda Triangle of Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, and Big Sky, a sunken ship loaded with treasure for whoever's willing to dive a little deeper.Most ski resort rankings will plant Alta-Snowbird or Whistler or Aspen or Vail at the top. Understandably so – these are all great ski areas. But I appreciate this take on Targhee from skibum.net, a site that hasn't been updated in a couple of years, but is nonetheless an excellent encyclopedia of U.S. skiing (boldface added by me for emphasis):You can start easy, then get as wild and remote as you dare. Roughly 20% of the lift-served terrain (Fred's Mountain) is groomed. The snowcat area (Peaked Mountain) is completely ungroomed, completely powder, totally incredible [Peaked is lift-served as of 2022]. Comparisons to Jackson Hole are inevitable, as GT & JH share the same mountain range. Targhee is on the west side, and receives oodles more snow…and therefore more weather. Not all of it good; a local nickname is Grand Foggy. The locals ski Targhee 9 days out of 10, then shift to Jackson Hole when the forecast is less than promising. (Jackson Hole, on the east side, receives less snow and virtually none of the fog). On days when the weather is good, Targhee beats Jackson for snow quality and shorter liftlines. Some claim Targhee wins on scenery as well. It's just a much different, less crowded, less commercialized resort, with outstanding skiing. Some will argue the quality of Utah powder…and they're right, but there are fewer skiers at Targhee, so it stays longer. Some of the runs at Targhee are steep, but not as steep as the couloirs at Jackson Hole. Much more of an intermediate mountain; has a very “open” feel on virtually all of the trails. And when the powder is good, there is none better than Grand Targhee. #1 ski area in the USA when the weather is right. Hotshots, golfcondoskiers and young skiers looking for “action” (I'm over 40, so I don't remember exactly what that entails) are just about the only people who won't call Grand Targhee their all-time favorite. For the pure skier, this resort is number one.Which may lead you to ask: OK Tough Guy then why did it take you five years to talk about this mountain on your podcast? Well I get that question about once a month, and I don't really have a good answer other than that there are a lot of ski areas and I can only talk about one at a time. But here you go. And from the way this one went, I don't think it will be my last conversation with the good folks at Grand old Targhee.What we talked aboutContinued refinement of the Colter lift and Peaked Mountain expansion; upgrading cats; “we do put skiing first here”; there's a reason that finance people “aren't the only ones in the room making decisions for ski areas”; how the Peaked expansion changed Targhee; the Teton Pass highway collapse; building, and then dismantling, Booth Creek; how ignoring an answering machine message led to the purchase of Targhee; first impressions of Targhee: “How is this not the most popular ski resort in America?”; imagining Booth Creek in an Epkonic alt reality; Targhee's commitment to independence; could Targhee ever acquire another mountain?; the insane price that the Gilletts paid for Targhee; the first time you see the Rockies; massive expansion potential; corn; fixed-grip versus detach; Targhee's high percentage of intermediate terrain and whether that matters; being next-door neighbors with “the most aspirational brand in skiing”; the hardest part of expanding a ski area; potential infill lifts; the ski run Gillett would like to eliminate and why; why we're unlikely to see a lift to the true summit; and why Targhee joined Mountain Collective but hasn't joined the Ikon Pass (and whether the mountain ever would).Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewA few things make Targhee extra relevant to our current ski moment:* Targhee is the only U.S. ski area aside from Sugar Bowl to join the Mountain Collective pass while staying off of Ikon.* In 2022, Targhee (sort of) quietly opened one of the largest lift-served North American ski expansions in the past decade, the 600-acre Peaked Mountain pod, served by the six-pack Colter lift.* The majority of large U.S. ski areas positioned on Forest Service land are bashful about their masterplans, which are publicly available documents that most resort officials wish we didn't know about. That's because these plans outline potential future expansions and upgrades that resorts would rather not prematurely acknowledge, lest they piss off the Chipmunk Police. So often when I'm like “Hey tell us about this 500-acre bowl-skiing expansion off the backside,” I get an answer that's something like, “well we look forward to working with our partners at the Forest Service to maybe consider doing that around the year 3000 after we complete our long-term study of mayfly migration routes.” But Geordie is just like, “Hell yes we want to blow the resort out in every direction like yesterday” (not an exact quote). And I freaking love the energy there.* Most large Western ski areas fall into one of two categories: big, modern, and busy (Vail, Big Sky, Palisades, Snowbird), or big, somewhat antiquated, and unknown (Discovery, Lost Trail, Silver). But Targhee has split the difference, being big, modern, and lesser-known, that rare oasis that gives you modern infrastructure (like fast lifts), without modern crowds (most of the time). It's kind of strange and kind of glorious, and probably too awesome to stay true forever, so I wanted to get there before the Brobot Bus unloaded.* Even 500-inches-in-an-average-winter Targhee has a small snowmaking system. Isn't that interesting?What I got wrong* I said that $20 million “might buy you a couple houses on the slopes at Jackson Hole.” It kind of depends on how you define “on the slopes,” and whether or not you can live without enough acreage for your private hippo zoo. If not, $24.5 million will get you this (I'm not positive that this one is zoned for immediate hippo occupation).* I said that 70 percent of Targhee's terrain was intermediate; Geordie indicated that that statistic had likely changed with the addition of the Peaked Mountain expansion. I'm working with Targhee to get updated numbers.Why you should ski Grand TargheeThe disconnect between people who write about skiing and what most people actually ski leads to outsized coverage of niche corners of this already niche activity. What percentage of skiers think that skiing uphill is fun? Can accomplish a mid-air backflip? Have ever leapt off a cliff more than four feet high? Commute via helicopter to the summit of their favorite Alaskan powder lines? The answer on all counts is probably a statistically insignificant number. But 99 percent of contemporary ski media focuses on exactly such marginal activities.In some ways I understand this. Most basketball media devote their attention to the NBA, not the playground knuckleheads at some cracked-concrete, bent-rim Harlem streetball court. It makes sense to look at the best and say wow. No one wants to watch intermediate skiers skiing intermediate terrain. But the magnifying glass hovering over the gnar sometimes clouds consumer choice. An average skier, infected by cliffity-hucking YouTubes and social media Man Bro boasting, thinks they want Corbet's and KT-22 and The Cirque at Snowbird. Which OK if you zigzag across the fall line yeah you can get down just about anything. But what most skiers need is Grand Targhee, big and approachable, mostly skiable by mostly anyone, with lots of good and light snow and a low chance of descent-by-tomahawk.Targhee's stats page puts the mountain's share of intermediate terrain at 70 percent, likely the highest of any major North American ski area (Northstar, another big-time intermediate-oriented mountain, claims 60 percent blue runs). I suspect this contributes to the resort's relatively low profile among destination skiers. Broseph Jones and his Brobot buddies examine the statistical breakdown of major resorts and are like “Yo cuz we want some Jackson trammage because we roll hard see.” Even though Targhee is bigger and gets more snow (both true) and offers a more realistic experience for the Brosephs.That's not to say that you shouldn't ski Jackson Hole. Everyone should. But steeps all day are mentally and physically draining. It's nice most of the time to not be parkouring down an elevator shaft. So go to Targhee too. And you can whoo-hoo through the deep empty trees and say “dang Brah this is hella rad Brah.” And it is.Podcast NotesOn the Peaked Mountain expansionThe Peaked Mountain terrain has been marked on Targhee's trailmap for years, but up until 2022, it was accessible mostly via snowcat:In 2022, the resort dropped a six-pack back there, better defined the trail network, and brought Peaked into the lift-served terrain package:On Grand Targhee's masterplanHere's the overview of Targhee's Forest Service master development plan. You can see potential expansions below Blackfoot (left in the image below), looker's right of Peaked/Colter (upper right), and below Sacajawea (lower right):Here's a better look at the so-called South Bowl proposal, which would add a big terrain pod contiguous with the recent Peaked expansion:Here's the MDP's inventory of proposed lifts. These things often change, and the “Peaked DC-4” listed below actualized as the Colter high-speed sixer:Targhee's snowmaking system is limited, but long-term aspirations show potential snowmaking stretching toward the top of the Dreamcatcher lift:On opposition to all of this potential expansionThere are groups of people masquerading as environmental commandos who I suspect oppose everything just to oppose it. Like oh a bobcat pooped next to that tree so we need to fence the area off from human activity for the next thousand years. But Targhee sits within a vast and amazing wilderness, the majority of which is and should be protected forever. But humans need space too, and developing a few hundred acres directly adjacent to already-developed ski terrain is the most sustainable and responsible way to do this. It's not like Targhee is saying “hey we're going to build a zipline connecting the resort to the Grand Teton.” But nothing in U.S. America can be achieved without a minimum of 45 lawsuits (it's in the Constitution), so these histrionic bozos will continue to exist.On Net Promoter Score and RRCI'm going to hurt myself if I try to overexplain this, so I'll just point toward RRC's Net Promoter Score overview page and the company's blog archive highlighting various reports. RRC sits quietly behind the ski industry but wields tremendous influence, assembling the annual Kotke end-of-season statistical report, which offers the most comprehensive annual overview of the state of U.S. skiing.On the reason I couldn't go to Grand Targhee last yearSo I was all set up to hit Targhee for a day last year and then I woke up in the middle of the night thinking “Gee I feel like I'm gonna die soon” and so I did not go skiing that day. Here's the full story if you are curious how I ended up not dying.On the Peaked terrain expansion being the hypothetical largest ski area in New HampshireI'll admit that East-West ski area size comparisons are fundamentally flawed. Eastern mountains not named Killington, Smugglers' Notch, and Sugarloaf tend to measure skiable terrain by acreage of cut trails and maintained glades (Sugarbush, one of the largest ski areas in the East by pure footprint, doesn't even count the latter). Western mountains generally count everything within their boundary. Fair enough – trying to ski most natural-growth eastern woods is like trying to ski down the stands of a packed football stadium. You're going to hit something. Western trees tend to be higher altitude, older-growth, less cluttered with undergrowth, and, um, more snow-covered. Meaning it's not unfair to include even unmarked sectors of the ski area as part of the ski area.Which is a long way of saying that numbers are hard, and that relying on ski area stats pages for accurate ski area comparisons isn't going to get you into NASA's astronaut training academy. Here's a side-by-side of 464-acre Bretton Woods – New Hampshire's largest ski area – and Targhee's 600-acre Peaked Mountain expansion, both at the same scale in Google Maps. Clearly Bretton Woods covers more area, but the majority of those trees are too dense to ski:And here's an inventory of all New Hampshire ski areas, if you're curious:On the Teton Pass highway collapseYeah so this was wild:On Booth CreekGrand Targhee was once part of the Booth Creek ski conglomerate, which now exists only as the overlord for Sierra-at-Tahoe. Here's a little history:On the ski areas at Snoqualmie Pass being “insane”We talk a bit about the “insane” terrain at Summit at Snoqualmie, a quirky ski resort now owned by Boyne. The mountain was Frankensteined together out of four legacy ski areas, three of which share a ridge and are interconnected. And then there's Alpental, marooned across the interstate, much taller and infinitely rowdier than its ho-hum brothers. Alpy, as a brand and as a badass, is criminally unknown outside of its immediate market, despite being on the Ikon Pass since 2018. But, as Gillett notes, it is one of the roughest, toughest mountains going:On Targhee's sinkholePer Jackson Hole News and Guide in September of last year:About two weeks ago, a day or so after torrential rain, and a few days after a downhill mountain biking race concluded on the Blondie trail, Targhee ski patrollers noticed that something was amiss. Only feet away from the muddy meander that mountain bikers had zipped down, a mound of earth had disappeared.In its place, there was a hole of unknown, but concerning, size.Subsequent investigations — largely, throwing rocks into the hole while the resort waits for more technical tools — indicate that the sinkhole is at least 8 feet wide and about 40 feet deep, if not more. There are layers of ice caking the walls a few feet down, and the abyss is smack dab in the middle of the resort's prized ski run.Falling into a sinkhole would be a ridiculous way to go. Like getting crushed by a falling piano or flattened under a steamroller. Imagine your last thought on earth is “Bro are you freaking kidding me with this s**t?”On the overlap between Mountain Collective and IkonMountain Collective and Ikon share a remarkable 26 partner ski areas. Only Targhee, Sugar Bowl, Marmot Basin, Bromont, Le Massif du Charlevoix, and newly added Megève have joined Mountain Collective while holding out on Ikon.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

“If the Ghostbusters and the Scooby-Doo gang got stoned together in Stanley Park and Frankensteined a high-larious single-camera sitcom, it would probably look something like Paranormal Solutions Inc.” That's how our valiant host Sabrina Rani Furminger opened an article she wrote in 2016 for the Westender newspaper about the first season of Paranormal Solutions Inc., a fabulous series from the funniest people in Vancouver. Eight years later – and nearly 10 years after visiting their set in Gastown where they filmed much of season one – the Paranormal Solutions Inc. gang is back, with season two. This time around, the PSI gang is even funnier, more of a collective hot mess, and getting themselves into even zanier and grosser paranormal situations than in season one, even serving up a delightful smorgasbord of homages to some of our favourite horror properties, from The Blair Witch Project to Halloween to The Shining to Cujo – and, for some reason, there's also a lot of kale. Paranormal Solutions Inc. stars David Milchard, Julia Benson, Nicholas Carella, Daniel Bacon, Diana Bang, Christina Sicoli, and Matt Clarke, with cameos from local favourites like Sara Canning and Jordan Connor. It's produced by Tilt 9 Entertainment and executive produced by another long list of our favourites: Milchard, Carella, Clarke, Michelle Ouellet, and Dylan Collingwood. In this rambunctious episode, Sabrina is joined by Nicholas Carella and Matthew Clarke to talk about the how's and why's and WTF's (including the joys and challenges of acting opposite a taxidermied rodent) of this side-splitting horror comedy series.

They're just a little bit closer to the living, just a little more noticeable, and just a little more up in your business.And if you're looking for ways to bring echoes of the South into your spooky practice, the decks by Stacey Williams-Ng may be just the right gateway to peruse.

The cameras are rolling, and the medium on the television screen begins to speak. The things she hears, sees, and knows, they can't possibly be real, right? Surely, it's all TV magic.

She's gifted in ways that defy logic; her magic is larger than what the camera can capture.Today, we speak with Ray Brune who produced the show Life Among the Dead, and learn what really happens behind the scenes with a psychic medium.

Aurorah never knew what to expect going on in her living room when she got home from school.

Wet Change's companions continued to fight off robots, while the troupe faced Denton Arthur and his Frankensteined wife. With the Dark Lord in possession of their weapons, the troupe did what they could. Del contacted Werner Herzog for tactical information and learned how to release the barrier shielding Denton, Shadow Nemesis boldly scuttled up the wall to face him head-on, and New Rogue miraculously healed them all but then fell into a hole lined with mayonnaise. Tyler tried a different approach and transformed his face to resemble Denton's wife, but will it be enough to stop the Dark Lord from killing them all outright?

This episode welcomes Mark and Dana Henion who make up two thirds of the owners--and one half of the name--of Van Henion Brewing. The Henions, along with John Van Duzer, launched Van Henion in early 2022 and have been making Bend's most celebrated lagers ever since. They brew on a large, 50-barrel system that could be called "Frankensteined" making it less nimble for small batches, but Van Henion's pedigree and affable owners makes them desirable collaboration partners.

The Pope is wack for his Surrogate Mother take. We delve into the Stephen A/Whitlock situation and boy howdy does Jason Whitlock suck. That leads to us discussing Katt Williams and these podcasts clips going viral everywhere.

K&D Transport third-generation owner/manager Adam Johnson in this Overdrive Radio edition narrates the beginnings of his grandfather's time trucking with a 1946 Brockway he purchased without the seats to save a little on the price. – It was a different time, and Johnson's grandfather was back from World War II, where he was a POW for 18 months, Johnson said, a story he told in part attendant to our recent profile of K&D Transport recognition their semi-finalist status in Overdrive's Small Fleet Championship this year: https://www.overdriveonline.com/small-fleet-champ/article/15544771/kd-transport-owner-in-the-groove-with-thirdgen-flatbed-fleet In the podcast, we pick up around the edges of the parts of Adam Johnson and the K&D Transport fleet's story that we didn't much cover in that business feature. The 14-truck fleet has quite a story, particularly with regard to recent-history moves that have cemented its current mix of flatbed freight. Yet there's more to Johnson particularly than just straight-up business. Or rather there are other aspects to the breadth and depth of his businesses that are well worthy of attention beyond the story we told at Overdrive. Johnson's increasingly established himself in the custom-truck world with Johnson Hill Customs, also offering general maintenance and repair services to local operators, in addition to maintaining the K&D fleet and everything else that comes with managing a trucking business. In this portion of our recent conversation, too, you'll hear a man with a sharp eye for details to help build pride and dedication among the team, saving and making money all the while. Along the way, details about his seven-year-old son's rig, a 1978 Kenworth W900A body Johnson used to build what amounts to a Frankensteined pickup on a 1990s Dodge chassis. His and other custom KW owners' sons had a quite a blast with it before, during and after Kenworth's big 100th-anniversary truck parade earlier this year, in which it and other among K&D trucks ran.

Frankie & Tish had the opportunity to interview Dacre Stoker, the Great Grand Nephew of The Bram Stoker, during his 125 Years of Dracula tour.  He has been traveling with The Menagerie and giving spooktacular lectures regarding the history of Bram as well as discussing his books; Dracul and Dracula the Un-Dead, the prequel and sequel to Bram Stokers Dracula.  The ghouls couldn't wait to pick his brain and find answers to all the questions they never knew to ask! Oddly enough, this episode, and the next, which both include interviews with Dacre, were one of the very few times the duo experienced major technical difficulties.  The episodes had to be salvaged as well as possible and then "Frankensteined" together to make them somewhat complete.  So please forgive the ladies for taking so long to bring it to you.  They hope you enjoy hearing from Dacre Stoker as much as they did!Support the show

People just leave them there. it's just been 15 years of 'not my problem.' we got fiberglass shards on every beach now because they abandon the boats and let 'em get destroyed on the rocks . All this stuff is gonna wind up on the beach in the next five, 10 years?” he said. “Let's get them off the island while I have someone that is willing to take any boat that we can give them. They're going all the way to Victoria. Brittany and her partner from Victoria are willing to take any boat that we can give them. I arranged the date, which was before the 30th.” “All the harbours are full of crap boats. It's gotta be like at least five or six boats that can be removed from the Gorge. There's the two at Squirrel Cove, that concrete boat at Mansons, and I just brought two from Cortes Bay.” Cortes Harbourmaster Jenny Hartwick could only speak about the abandonned boats within the Harbour Authority area, but there are more in Squirrel Cove than dos Santos was aware of. “There's actually three vessels that are sitting on the beach in front of the Squirrel Cove dock. All three have been surveyed by the Coast Guard within the last month and the process has been started to have them removed.The Coast Guard also assisted in the removal of Emily, which was the fish boat, which went down on the boy that was located outside of the Squirrel Cove government dock lease area and they are also currently looking into one of the boats that's sitting at the Squirrel Cove dock as well,” she explained. Dominic dos Santos said, “People have been trying to give me the boats in Squirrel Cove. I'd love to take 'em. I need written permission, or can't do it. If I got the paperwork for those on, it would've been today.” Harbourmaster Jenny Hartwick has not met do Santos and was not previously aware of his initiative, but is concerned about the situation he is dealing with. “Unfortunately, the number of abandoned vessels is growing, and that's not just for Cortes Island, It's up and down the whole coast.” So far, dos Santos has only obtained the paperwork for two boats, which he moved from Cortes bay to Gorge Harbour. “I paid a dollar for each boat. I got the paperwork, I got 'em all signed over to me. They're my liability.” He has received a number of complaints since they arrived in the Gorge. “I'm just more surprised at the negativity surrounding what I thought would be a positive activity. My phone keeps going. If that's the case, I'll just do it on my own. It's a problem that I could fix and in the meantime I can grab a couple of anchors, or maybe a tube. This and that, some extra parts.” “From my perspective, I'm doing a local that's been here for a while, a huge favor. If anything happens, he doesn't have to worry about it. Then also cleaning up Cortes Bay. I paid $250 to get a move to the Gorge, they're going to pay me $200 for both boats.” “I would love just a little bit of support from the community, if they want to help me tow a boat. It would seem that it would make more sense for more than zero people to step up and say, ‘Hey, let's get these boats off the island before they sink and go up on the beach and ruin oyster leases.'” As dos Santos puts it, the two boats he currently has in the Gorge will ‘get Frankensteined' after they reach Victoria. “Brittany and her partner have a huge plot of land. They get all the boats together and they piece 'em together. They make something livable and then they sell it cheap for people that need a cheap house. It's kind of like a trailer park.”

We're talking about selling a TV show. And before we begin, I'm going to start with a little story that I think might help everyone understand, uh, selling a TV show. So imagine, imagine Phil that we are, uh, we have a business venture and this venture is going to cost us around maybe 10 or $20 million. But we stand to make, uh, from this hundreds of millions of dollars, but what we need to do to make all this money, we got to get a pilot and we gotta get, uh, a plane, someone who's going to track who will fly us all around the world. Cause this is an international thing. We gotta, we need to fly all across the world. All right. So we've we found this guy on the internet and his, according to the pictures, the plane looks really nice.Michael: (01:41)It looks pretty good. Right? We go check it out. Me and you, we check it out and, and uh, we go inside the plane. It's really, it looks great. It's got wings, it's got nice furniture. It's set up. It's because it looks like it's the right size for us. And then we talked to the pilot because we need the pilot with the plane and we say, Hey man, this is a really nice plane. You, you got here. And he says, yeah, I built it myself. And we're like, that's pretty impressive. You built this all by yourself. Good for you. And then we asked, so, um, you know, how long have you, have you been a pilot? And then he says, well, I have never been a pilot before. Really? Now you just built this. He just, he's a, been a fan of planes for a long, long time.Michael: (02:19)He likes going to the airport, he watches the planes land and take off really. Okay. So, but uh, like what else do you know much about, please know, I've never actually been inside of a plane, never flown in a plane at all. And we're like, oh, okay, well, we're kind of looking for someone with experience because this business venture, we got to fly all across the world. The airports, some are gonna be big. Some are gonna be small. We're gonna fly at night. It could be bad weather. It could be tricky airports. And we're kind of looking for someone with experience to fly this plane for us. Cause it's a big business venture. And this guy is like, yeah, well, I don't need any of that. I built this plane. And even though I'm not a pilot, never flown a plane, uh, you should still hire me and my plane because look how beautiful it looks. So what'd you say fell. Should we make cut a deal with this guy? Or keep moving? Yeah.Phil: (03:02)Pass hard pass. That's a hardMichael: (03:04)Pass. Okay. So let's just swap the word airline pilot for a television pilot. Yeah. It's the same thing. Right? So a lot of people say, well, how do I sell my pilot? And that the truth is like, well, you don't because a network is going to want someone with experience because there's all sorts of troubles that come up when you're making a TV show. And uh, and you need an experienced pilot at the, at the helm to troubleshoot because I, you know, and that's what they're paying. They're, they're trying to protect their investment at this point. They're not trying to, um, cheap out and get someone, some DIY guy. Right.Phil: (03:41)Would you, if you stand to make that much of a return on an investment, uh, yeah, you're gonna, you're gonna S you're gonna pay the price. You need to, to close that deal.Michael: (03:51)Right. Right. And they're not really, so the network, I guess, like in the old days, it was a little different. When I say the old days, like before streaming, the network was really, they really wanted to get, when you sell a pilot, they weren't really buying the pilot. They were buying the hopes of a hundred episodes for, they could make all that money. And now with streaming, it's like, like Netflix, they really hope to do that. Their business model is different. So they'll try to do maybe three seasons of like 12 episodes each, but they still want consistently good episodes. They still in that. And that's why they are, they're paying, you know, who are they going to? If they're going to buy a pilot, who are they going to buy it from? They're going to buy either from me or the guy who been DIY guy listening to the podcast here. And so, but that's not to say they can't sell. I mean, I don't want to discourage anybody from selling a pilot, but there are steps that you want to take to, to, uh, increase your eyes, you know? Okay.Phil: (04:43)So, so let me ask this question then. Um, would you consider these spec deals that come in, where someone puts up a spec pilot and it sells, would you consider that a fluke or would you consider that to be common or would you consider it to be, um, almost an everyday experience?Michael: (05:01)I think you read about it because it's so unusual. So I kind of think it's a fluke and, but often they spec pilots. Uh, I don't really meet, I don't read many of the spec files and when they do sell, if they do sell, they always team me up with an experienced showrunner because they're never going to turn over the reins to someone who's never done it before. They'll hire someone to oversee it for you and it's Dennis. And by the way, then it's not really, you know, you're not at the helm, so it's not, you don't really determine the direction of the show. Someone else is doing it for you because that's how it works because they want thatPhil: (05:31)Your investment, you know, it's interesting when you're a young writer, you think of these romantic things you hear about, you know, I know myself, I suffer from what I would call prodigy syndrome, where I feel like since a young age, I've had to just grand slam every single thing that I do. And that creates a lot of fear and anxiety to try, because there's this fear of failure and our identity is tied to that stuff. But at the same time you think about these things, you know, I was like, oh yeah, I'm going to go out. I'm going to win the Nicholls fellowship. And my first film's going to be an academy award winner because I'm going to be put that much effort into, and then, you know, there's a lot of naivete that comes with doing it. And there's a balance of, you have to have, you have to be naive to put in the effort, but at the same time, you have to understand how the business works, to know how to get things done. And that's something that's become more apparent as I've lived in LA for the last five years.Michael: (06:21)Right. And you know, one thing I think aspiring writers don't understand is that pilot that you write on spec is really just a calling card so that you can get meetings and get on a staff job or maybe pitch another pilot. Like if you read a great pilot, whoever sees it, some producer or studio head, they're going to say, wow, this is really great. This is so well written. We love this. We want to be in business with you. Um, we want to exploit you.Phil: (06:47)Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Why did they, why did they say this is great. I want to be in business with you. Yeah. YouMichael: (06:52)To want to make money off you. It's not to help you realize your dream At dollar signs. Exactly. And so it's not like, it's not like, you know, you may have this pilot that you love and it's so personal in your heart, but that's not what they want to buy. They, they, what they will really want is the hire you on a different project. They want to make their idea. And even with me and my partner, we very rarely sell pilots that we want to sell. We sell pilots that someone wants to buy. There's a huge difference.Phil: (07:19)Yeah. This is an interesting thing. So in preparing for this podcast, I actually busted out some of my screenwriting books over here that I've read throughout the years. And one of them talks specifically about this. And they're like, when you go into pitch and you're pitching your feature, because it looks on feature writing, it says, you have to remember, like, the goal is not really to sell your feature it's to impress them so much that they think, man, that's a good writer so that they bring you back to write the project they want.Michael: (07:44)That's exactly right. Right. And when you think of, think of a really good example, like, uh, Bruce Miller, who's the showrunner of the Handmaid's tale, which I think is brilliantly written show. Uh, you know, and that's based on a book, they're obviously Margaret Atwood's book. It's not like, I can't imagine Bruce Miller as a little kid lying in his bedroom dreaming one day to one day, hopefully run the TV version of the Handmaid's tale. Like that was not, he had his own ideas. I want to do a show about superheroes or whatever the hell he wanted to do, but it was not to do the Handmaid's tale. Right? So at some point I imagine the studio said, Hey, we have the rights to the Handmaid's tale. We're looking for writers to adapt into a TV show. And he won the auction. He, he won that great job. And, uh, and it's, you know, it'll probably change his career, but he has all, he had a long career before this on many, many other shows, ER, I think was his first show. So, uh, it's not like his dream was to make the Handmaid's tale. His dream was to do something else. This is just a great opportunity that that came in his way. And he, and he jumped.Michael: (08:43)Hi guys, it's Michael Jamin. I wanted to take a break from talking and talk just a little bit more. I think a lot of you, people are getting bad advice on the internet. Many, you want to break into the industry as writers or directors or actors, and some of you are paying for this advice on the internet. It's just bad. And as a working TV writer and showrunner, this burns my butt. So my goal is to flush a lot of this bad stuff out of your head and replace it with stuff that's actually going to help you. So I post daily tips on social media, go follow me @MichaelJaminWriter. You can find me on Instagram and Facebook and TikTok. And let's be honest, if you don't have time, like just two minutes a day towards improving your craft, it's not going to happen. So go make it happen for you @MichaelJaminWriter. Okay. Now back to my previous,Phil: (09:29)And this might be jumping ahead, but I think the overarching principle that I picked up from you, your course, and a lot of the things that you teach on your social media and from knowing you for, you know, almost a decade, it's really this like Hollywood wants good writers. Yeah. The reason he's getting that opportunity is because he's proven himself as a good writer. Right. And yeah. And so I think that begs the question. How does one become a good writer? Or what does that look like to impress these people when you're in the room? Yeah,Michael: (09:58)No one wants, as I often say, no one wants to answer that question. That's too hard. That would require a study in your craft and learning how to write. It's just much easier to, you know, Hey, I got a script and Hollywood's fair, unfair, and it's all about who, you know, and, and you know, it's all boys club, it's so much easier to blame Hollywood for your wives than it is to take responsibility and say, well, maybe my writing is not up to par.Phil: (10:20)Right. But when it goes back to, you know, your point about this as a business and they were trying to exploit you for dollars, it's because it is a business and that's why they call it the business. Right. I'm trying to get into the business show business. And you know, I saw this all the time when I was in, um, in film school is a liberal arts college. I was 28. It was a really strange moment when I realized how much older I was, then everyone else there, I somehow nine 11 came up and was like, oh, where were you? When nine 11 happened? I think I was in third grade. And I was like, I was in high school, like, oh my gosh, like I'm ancient compared to these kids. And they just wanted to, they wanted to make the art. They talked about their art. They didn't talk about their craft. And I think there's a difference between that. It is an art form, but it takes a craftsmen to do the job. Right?Michael: (11:06)Yeah. I think that's an example. S analogy my partner often make, which is, um, like we're Taylor, oh, you want cuffs on these pants? I'm like, okay, you can get cuffs. You want, oh, you want pleats? Sure. We'll give you pleats. No, you know, that's the, you know, I'm not gonna argue with you. If you're paying me money, I'll try to give you, I'll give you what you want. I'll try to make it as good as I can and be able to live with the result. So it's not horrendous horrendous, but at the end of the day, they're paying me, which means it's theirs. It's theirs, you know, that's I took money in exchange for this project. So it's there is now, right?Phil: (11:37)Yeah. Right. I mean, it's no different than anything else. I mean, my background is in the digital marketing world and web design and web development. And there's, it's, it's a common tale that no one will mess up. I project better than the client. Yeah.Michael: (11:50)Well, yeah. I mean, you got some, you got to keep them, prevent them from, from doing that. Right. I mean, in the end, you know, the studio executives, it's not like they want, you know, they want reassurance, they're hiring you, they're paying you to write the script and they want to feel that every time you make a decision, even if they don't agree with you, if you give them a reason why you're not doing it, they want to know that they're in good hands. So it's not like they always want to be a, they always want their way. They just want to be reassured because they want to protect their job. And they don't really, they don't know how to do my job, that they have a different job. They don't know how to be a screenwriter. Right. So, uh, often if you can reassure them or take their ID or convince them that your idea is their idea that goes along with it.Phil: (12:32)Yeah. So this goes back to the skill set that I'm very grateful that I fell into that I did not want to learn. And that sales just understanding it. And there's this great book by a guy named Tom Hopkins called how to master the art of selling. And I was given like the VP of sales at this company. I worked at handed to me and he was like, you need to learn this. And I open it. It's like from the seventies, it's from a seminar. He went to when he was a young salesman. And I was like, ah, man. And ultimately I had to come to the church to the realization, like I need money now. And I work a sales job. So as much as I'd love to just be sitting there writing screenplays all day, I need to learn how to master this craft. And as I'm reading through it, the big overarching thing that I learned is it's really just language, right? It's the way you refer to things. So, you know, if I say, Hey, I need you to sign this contract. Like red flags go up, you know, start sweating a little like, oh, what am I signing? But if I say, Hey, would you approve these documents? Right. It's a completely different feeling. Um, if I tell you, something's true than online, if you tell yourself something is true, that it has to beMichael: (13:29)True. Yeah. That makes sense. You know, one of the things I want to include in this con in this conversation about selling your sh your TV show, it's not so much that they're buying an idea, they're buying the execution of the idea. And so if you hire someone who hasn't, who has little experience, like if we give 10 writers the same mind, the same idea, you're going to get 10, very different screenplays. And so you're really buying the execution of it. And hopefully, you know, usually when you have more season's hand, uh, they will execute it better and they'll take, they'll know how to take notes better. And they, even if they don't take the note, they understand that you have to take the spirit of the note. And often young writers don't quite understand that. And I, at least, I, I know I didn't, when I was starting out, it was like, how do I take this note?Michael: (14:15)I don't know how to, you know, I don't have to do any of this. So that's, that comes with selling a TV show. So the way, the way in then the best way in, I believe is to become a staff writer on a show. And you do that for many years and you kind of learn your craft and you work your way up. And then back when my partner and I were starting, that that's kind of what we did. So we were F I think it was after seven or eight years, we were finally offered a development deal. And up until then, most people, most writers are saying, you know, put it off as long as you can't put it off, because you, you only get one shot to prove that you can do this the first or first one out, you know, then you're, you're damaged goods after that basically. But things have kind of changed a little bit where the market is so different. Now, I think people are rushing into selling pilots, and I guess for some people it's working, but, uh, I think for the long-term goal, you kind of don't really want to do that. And, you know, I would still recommend learn your craft first before you got and, and, you know, create your own show.Phil: (15:14)That's when we talk about the execution of an idea that this is something that I think about all the time, you know, you've made it clear and I've seen it in practice from the showrunners on the show I work on with you. Um, it's really about executing their vision of that and making their job easier. Right. It's how do we avoid page one rewrites and how do we make it? So the rewriting is a minimal because it's inevitably going to happen on out. Like imagine basically every script that comes in, they're going to change something. Yeah.Michael: (15:44)And if I fight them on, I can fight them all the way. If I'm the shower, I'm, I'm the co-executive producer. So I'm not the boss on this. It's a show my partner. And so the showrunners are the two stars and I could fight them. I could say, well, we shouldn't do it this way. And I get convinced. I could make all these arguments for why my way is better, whatever. And in the end, it's their show. They'll just effort, turn in the script. They'll just rewrite me anyway and they'll just him off. So I might as well give them what they want as close to what that is, what they want as I can. But howPhil: (16:11)Do you marry that with artistic integrity?Michael: (16:13)Yeah. I get a paycheck at the end of every week. That's my artistic integrity.Phil: (16:18)But, but can you feel ethical sabotaging your unique vision? I mean, they hired you for your unique take on these things, right? So how, how do you justify that?Michael: (16:28)No, they hired me to help them execute the kind of show that they want to make. And so my job is to, is to give them the best possible version of the show that they want to make, not the best kind of, not the best version of the Charlotte. I want to make the best version for that. They want to make. Right. Got it. So if I have artistic integrity or whatever, like, you know, I do save that for my side projects or whenever yeah.Phil: (16:51)Just cry yourself to sleep and wipe your tears of anxiety away with a hundred dollar bills.Michael: (16:56)Yeah. That's what I do every night. Just fan myself with this stack of money. There you go.Phil: (17:01)So, so, you know, it's interesting because what I'm hearing you say is when you're selling a pilot, when you're handling a pilot, you have to be the odds of you selling your pilot are low. Right. But you need that as a calling card to prove that you can do the job so that you can get a job. Right. And, and having a good pilot helps you get that first step, which is the job, right? Yeah. Um, and my experience, and this might be, you know, we're going to talk about this in another episode. My experience has always, what I'm seeing is you basically get the agent by having a job for them to sell. So effectively. I have impressed someone and they want to hire me, but now I am obligated to have an agent to get me staffed. Is that kind of how you see it?Michael: (17:45)I mean, it's so hard to get an a, it's like, it's hard to get a job without an agent. It's hard to get an agent without a job, is that that's the paradox. The minute you have some heat, in terms of someone wanting to hire you is the best time to go out and say, find an agency. Look, I have about to get a big paycheck. You don't even have to earn your money. I'm going toPhil: (18:03)Give you 10% of my paycheck,Michael: (18:05)Which you did not earn,Phil: (18:07)Which in the sales world, we call that a Bluebird, right? Like, Hey, there's a blooper just landed on my windshield, like Cinderella. And it's handing me a stack of cash. And I, as a sales rep will take that every single time, because it is a freebie, I don't have to cold call. I don't have to, I don't have to put in any time, energy or effort. And that will buoy me up to go put in the time, energy and effort on the other deal I'm actually working on. Right. Right. So, so you're handing them a Bluebird, right. And saying, I've got free money for you. And so it's a no brainer for the agent to bring you on at that point, becauseMichael: (18:37)Yeah. You feel you have, yeah. If you feel that it has legs, if you feel like they can turn, you turn it to something else. Often if, for example, someone's a writer's assistant will be able to sell an episode, uh, to the show and the show, you know, the short run and say, okay, we'll let you write a freelance episode. In that case, it may still be hard to get an agent because it's not quite, it's not, it's not quite the same as saying, well, I'm now a staff writer. They want to hear that.Phil: (19:01)Yeah. And you're not obligated from the writer's Guild because you're not a member of the writer's Guild and you haven't earned enough points to gain entry. So you could just get a check from that, right?Michael: (19:11)Yeah. Yeah. It could be a one-time, it could be a one-time thing and you never work again. So if, once you're on staff, it's a little different. Yeah. You know?Phil: (19:19)Right. Yeah. So, so going back to the subject of, of selling about, so we're not going to sell the pilot, but I need a good pilot in order to get an agent who will then hopefully get meMichael: (19:30)Staffed or at least to get a yes. Sometimes an agent. Right. We'll uh, we'll take you on if the pilot is great. If they really, if it's great, then they'll take you on. Yeah, yeah.Phil: (19:41)Right. So, so then what I'm hearing you say is you need to have a certain level of skill that comes through a certain level of craft that comes through in that pilot to impress someone. But then you're also saying 6, 7, 8 years of being a professional writer. You are still learning every single day and perfecting that craft and people are saying, take as long as you can, because you got one at bat here with your developmental,Michael: (20:06)That's kind of where it was. Now. It's a little different. Now. It seems like everyone with like two years of experiences or whatever, selling pilot, and it seems a little odd, but the industry has changed so much, uh, that that's kind of, yeah. People, I think people are developing sooner than they should. And, but, but that's, you know, when I broke in you and wouldn't even ride a pilot, you would never write a spec pilot. You would write a spec episode of a TV show. You would write us back Frazier friends or cheers. You'd write a sample episode of that. But now those shows don't really exist. There's no one or two shows that everyone watches because the audience is so fragmented. So now, um, agents and managers are, or even studio executives are telling people new writers that they should write a, um, basically a spec pilot create from whole cloth, their own TV show, which I think is really unfair because that's a whole different skill of creating a world as a whole different skillset from, uh, from actually just writing one episode of the show that's already on there. You don't have to create the characters. You just to envision an episode, uh, you know, a plot for these characters for that week. And so, and by the way, when I'm, if I'm running a show, I don't need a staff writer to create a new world. I just need them to, can they mimic the world that already exists. So I really think it's an unfair, uh, assignment that it's given to new writers. And I it's just, it sucks. There's no way around it.Phil: (21:32)Yeah. So you've mentioned to me in the past that, you know, and when I was in film school, they said, you know, write spec episodes. So like I wrote a spec Mr. Robot, because I had a tech background and that's what my professor recommended I do. Um, but at the same time, you've also mentioned that I should write specs that match certain tones to show that I have range in the different types of shows. So if someone, so let's say I'm going into a pitch for Tacoma FD. I could show something along the lines of super troopers or that, that heavy comedy tone that's very jokey or is very right, which is a completely different tone.Michael: (22:07)Right. Uh, and another example would be a spec family guy, which is an animated show. If you have a spec family guy, that's not going to get you on BoJack horseman, which you know, which was way more realistic, even though they're both cartoons. So yeah. You want to have the tone match the show, which is why you need so many different specs. And I, and then again, we're getting into the, it's so weird, like when I'm hiring, I would, I prefer to read a spec of a show that I'm, that, that I'm familiar with. But again, the other, the other side of the business, they're telling youPhil: (22:39)No dry pilots. So would that advice still apply that I should write multiple pilots in multiple tones to match the tones of popular TV shows or shows that I'd like to be similar to what I can basically just show calling cards and say, this is a pilot I wrote that I'm proud of. That matches the tone of your show.Michael: (22:56)Yeah, exactly. And we just had that situation where we were up at my partner and I were up for running a show that's currently on the air and the show, uh, we had, we have many samples that we could send out. So we had to decide which sample matched the tone best of their show. So,Phil: (23:10)Okay. So, so the practice of writing a pilot, it's not only helping me hone my craft, but it's also helping me establish a library of samples based on the, it was just going to increase my job opportunities, right? Yeah. Almost like, uh, you know, growing up in Oklahoma that we had different fishing lures for different types of fish, they, they attract different fish. And so to me, it sounds like you're basically baiting your hook or putting, using a different lure to catch the fish that you're trying to catch. Yeah.Michael: (23:37)Yeah. That's exactlyPhil: (23:38)It. Interesting. I did have that conversation with, uh, with a show showrunner recently as well. And he brought up the fact that, you know, one of the, one of the staff writers that he hired as a baby writer, they turned in a script and it was very much, it was like, this is obviously based on the writer's life. Like it follows them coming to LA trying to get a job in Hollywood. And he said, it didn't really match what I was looking for. And, but it was the best that I saw. And the other side of that, unfortunately, is I have no idea, no idea how long that person worked on that pilot. They could've been working on it for four years. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So how do you, how do you navigate that? Like, is there any way to show that you have more skill set when you're in that situation where you're, when you're trying to get staffed?Michael: (24:24)No, it's often, um, you know, when you're staffing someone look at me, a stack of like a hundred scripts, you know, you have a lot of scripts of new writers and I will read like the first five pages of each one. And then if it's, if I, if I'm not impressed with the first five, I'd just toss it because why? Because I have 99 more to go. And so if those first five pages are not wowing me, if they don't do all the requirements of hitting what a story needs to be, uh, I toss it and that may seem cruel and unfair, but like, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Like you would. Yeah.Phil: (24:57)Yeah. You know how to maximize time. Like you have time, you want to spend with your, I think you told me a story once when you were on Marin and like, you had to clean up, like you were in a crack house shooting all day and you had to read scripts still. Like, you're like, I don't, I don't want to read the scripts. I want to be at home with my family. Yeah. Like, but I'm here sitting in a crack house. Yeah. Yeah.Michael: (25:15)It was exactly that we shot in a crack house. So yeah. I mean, you got to, the reality is, and it's the same way, actually, even when I'm kicking over casting, uh, you know, it's that love that you used to cast in person, but now it's all people said, submit on recordings. And you know, if you have to get to a hundred actors, you're not going to watch the whole audition. You're going to say next, you know, you're just going to flip it to the next one. And it seems cruel. But at the end of the day, at the end of the day, one writer or one actor is going to get that job. There's only spot only room for one. And does it matter how I get to that one person, one, person's going to be happy. Right. And 99 are gonna be disappointed. So it's really up to you to, to come out of the gates swinging.Phil: (25:54)Yeah. When I moved from first moved here, um, you know, when you moved to LA, like I'd been to LA many times for concerts and things. And I refuse to look at the Hollywood sign until I lived in LA. Like, it was just like this weird magic I had to say, I live in Los Angeles and I am here to be a writer. And I remember the first time I saw that sign, I was like, oh, that's pretty cool. But nothing compared to, yeah. I was going to say, seeing, you know, eating a Cantor for the first time, get funny, but, but really it was when I saw the writer's Guild building on Fairfax, like all of a sudden, like, man, there's just this awesome moment. So I did some research and I found out that you can attend writers Guild. Um, what is it, uh, it's their nonprofit arm, the writers Guild foundation, right?Phil: (26:37)Maybe they have events almost every single week that you can attend with working writers. And they have this thing called the ticket and it was a thousand dollars. And I mean, that's a hefty price even for me, but I decided it was an awesome opportunity because you got invited to every single event and front row seats, reserved seats and all of the, all of the events they had, you got to attend to the VIP parties. So I did that. And, uh, one of the events was, uh, a workshop with Jonah Nolan, um, talking about, uh, Westworld. And he gave an advice similar to your point about the five pages. Uh, he said, when I read your script, I, I, something better happened by the bottom of the first page or I'm done. Yeah, yeah. Right. Like he says, I know everything I need to know about you as a writer, by the end of the first page.Phil: (27:24)And he talked about like one spec he read for, um, his other show, which was, uh, what was his other show? I'm blanking on it. It ran for forever. I had to do Jim Caviezel in it. Um, but anyway, yeah, they'll come to me in a second. But anyway, he said that, uh, he read a writer's script and he's like, he's like, it was filthy. It had nothing to do with our show. And it was just absolutely filthy. But his voice was so interesting that we hired him because he had something to say at the bottom of the first page. Right. So it seems like that's really, it it's, you know, to your point, it's the expression and execution of an idea, not just the idea and having something to say early on. Okay.Michael: (28:04)Yeah. And also like people say, oh, it's going to get, wait till it gets good. Like, wait until it gets good, dude. I'm not waiting till it. You know, you have to start good. I'm not going to ever the ending is going to blow you away. Well, no, one's going to get to the ending. You know,Phil: (28:18)I remember the first, the first spec episode I ever wrote was a spec workaholics. And you were kind enough to read it and to be fair to you, I was way too new to send you anything to read at the time, because looking back on it, it was awful, but you read it and you're like, yeah, it seems like you kind of Frankensteined some stuff here, which is just like disheartening to hear, but it's very true. And you said the end was funny. So now you're, you have to start with that. Yeah. You have to start with the funniest thing in your script and then you have to be better than that. Moving forward. I just remember sitting there thinking like, oh my gosh, that was the FA like, it took forever to come up with that ending. Like how could I ever come up with anything funnier than that? And you know, as you're, as you get better at your craft through practice and practice and practice, you're looking back at it now. I was like, I wasn't even really that funny. Like we can come up with a way better.Michael: (29:05)Of course, of course you can. Yeah. And you, um, yeah. I mean, we helped you to become less precious and less yeah. Less attached. The more you write, the less attached you are to what you write. And so, because you have more of a body of work and you're like, if someone doesn't like a joke or something or a moment, or I find a throw dog, I'll come up with another one. Yeah. No big deal.Phil: (29:25)Yeah. Right, right. So it seems like the answer really is you just need to be good at your craft and you need to be able to execute it on the page. And if you can do those things, that's, that's how you get a job. Yeah. Um, you, you gave me a note a long time ago. Um, it was an, I remember as an email, it was right when I went to film school and I sent an email asking you a question, and you said, um, Hollywood needs good writers.Phil: (29:58)This has been an episode of screenwriters. Need to hear this with Michael Jackson and Phil Hudson. If you'd like to support this podcast, please consider subscribing leaving a review and sharing this podcast with someone who needs to hear today's subject. If you're looking to support yourself, I encourage you to consider investing in Michael's screenwriting course michaeljamin.com/course. I've known Michael for over a decade. And in the past seven years, I've begged him to put something together during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Michael had time. And I have to say, I wish I'd had this course 10 years ago. As someone who has personally invested in most online courses, earned a bachelor's degree, and actively studied screenwriting for over a decade, this course has been more valuable to me than most of the effort I've put in because it focuses on something. No one else teaches: story. In his course, Michael pulls back the curtain and shows you exactly what the pros do in a writer's room. And that knowledge has made all the difference for me. And I know it will for you too. You can find more information michaeljamin.com/course. For free daily screenwriting tips, follow Michael on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok @MichaelJaminWriter.

Well, If this isn't a Frankensteined ass episode. Today I did something different with the show and recorded individual segments over this week and stitched them together for this drop. Probably going to be the last time i do this because it feels gross lol. I think I prefer to just press record and go from segment to segment but we will see what happens. On Today's show I talked about an "Old" moment I had as well as a public service announcement to my fellow men out here. Enjoy your weekend and be safe boys and girls, we will see you next week and as always please enjoy responsibly.

The comedy of Adam Sandler once ruled at the box office.  Now they go to him because he has nothing better to do.  Pixels is one of those weak Frankensteined movies with a lot of pop culture stuff thrown in to try to signal that this movie is fun when in reality it is a thin bore of a time. And we also have some bad stuff to say about every other aspect o this movie.  Hate Watching is the show that no one asked for but we keep on making it.#thanksHollywood #adamSandler #JoshGad #gadzooks #pixels #pacman #SeanBean #poorSeanBean

Ghost Nation season 2 premieres Saturday, October 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Travel Channel. I got the chance to talk with two of the show's stars, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango, about a couple of specific episodes (https://www.hauntjaunts.net/preview-of-ghost-nation-ghostober-2020-episodes/) , including the season 2 premiere, "Evil Ink," and the Halloween night crossover special with Amy Bruni and Adam Berry from Kindred Spirits, "Ghost Nation: Reunion in Hell." What does Tango want more of and says he'll get someday but hasn't yet? Why does Steve feel maybe we shouldn't be trying to get entities to leave? What sort of things does he suggest people living in haunted places do instead? Why did Steve say the EMF fluctuation they encountered in the basement at Seaview Terrace in Newport, Rhode Island, was unlike anything he'd ever experienced before? And what mystery did this solve for Tango when I asked about that? Have they been filming during the COVID-19 pandemic, and if so are they following any specific protocols? Do they notice any differences between ghosts in wealthy people's houses compared to ordinary people's homes? I noticed there seemed to be two common themes between the "Evil Ink" and "Reunion in Hell" episodes (both of which I got to screen ahead of time): merged houses and true crime connections. Will viewers see more of that in the rest of season 2? Does the Ghost Nation gang like the intrigue, mystery, and piecing puzzles together aspect of paranormal investigations? What is their favorite part of all of that? Speaking of putting pieces together, what does Tango say was "Frankensteined" together this season? Listen to find out the answers to these questions and more. Also included is a preview clip from the "Evil Ink" episode, courtesy of Travel Channel.

Oops! All Doduo! We made a big goof getting this one out of the factory, and it turned out to be two episodes Frankensteined together. In retrospect, it's kind of fitting for an episode about Doduo, nature's mistake.

This week on Ramon and Vlad take it straight to the boulevard with Shanel Lindsay, founder and CEO of Ardent Cannabis, to tell us how she went from a lawyer doing part time research on cannabis to launching the industry’s leading device for cannabis decarboxylation. She takes us through how she “Frankensteined” together the first Ardent Nova after years of research and some of the barriers she faced when convincing the community of the value of decarbing. She also discusses an incident she had with Massachusetts police that spark her mission to correct the broken cannabis laws and seek social equity and benefits for the people most effected by the war on drugs. She even gives us a brief history of the Massachusetts cannabis act and her predictions for a more diverse industry in the future.

This past year brought some serious discussions about ethics in science, when a group of researchers claimed to have created the first gene-edited, CRISPR baby. But where was the scientific community 25 years ago, when a young Gary and Wyatt hacked a government computer system, scanned in some nudie pics, and Frankensteined an older woman with magic lightning powers into existence. All this and inappropriate touching, as we talk about the John Hughes comedy Weird Science.

A bombastic throw-back horror-comedy that follows three young women who go out partying one night and find themselves Frankensteined together in one body. Now they must put aside their differences so they can find who did this and exact revenge!

This is one of those hodge-podge episodes that was Frankensteined together from several different SubGenius shows and podcasts, with weird old-timey pop music (and one modern Al Mothersbaugh song) admixed in with LeMurian media barrages. The spouting duo of Dr. Brujaja and Overlord Anna Maul is represented (Austin, Texas); Dr. Philo Drummond, Dr. Hal and Rev. Stang lose their screens and checks at 22X-Day Drill (Deepest Ohio); StangDoe and Lonesome Phone Boy Dave have a convulute-versation via Tarzan's Radio Station (Glen Rose, Texas). Don't worry; although a lot of this was recorded in Texas, only Stang and Drummond sound that way. SubGenius Ordainment/Membership Kit -- Slack Friday Sale, 11-29 through 12-24!

In episode seventeen of season two, the Dads go a little bit mad with the first ever Mad Dad Radio Hour. In it, they discuss the Misfits' Twelve Hits From Hell. Originally recorded in 1980, the album was soon scrapped, and parts of it were reverse Frankensteined into various EPs and singles. However, the original recordings almost saw the light of day back in 2001, and even went as far as to producing physical copies that were sent to stores, but band members Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only called off production and the album was scrapped for a second time. On the project, Danzig pummels his audience's puny face with power chords and songs about ghouls, ghosts, and goth girls. Hell, (get it--hell!) it even has songs about haunted hotels, vampires, and spoOOOOOoooooky dungeons. Thus, it's a perfect album to play at Halloween.

Dan's on vacation, so instead of a new odd story, he's Frankensteined himself a collection of old episodes for the Best of Exploder. It's still better than the Dungeon of Doom.  #Exploder #ZTOTV

In this episode we feature the creators of the Smite Little League! It was a bit of a Frankensteined episode this week, but we got it all together in the end! We also break down Cerberus in this week's Session of Progression!

This week we tried a different way of capturing audio. The good news? The audio is much crisper with less echo. The bad news? The way we captured audio would periodically stop recording. So welcome to this Frankensteined episode. This week we talk about bullying dumb nerds, if we would stop being funny for $1,000,000, Super Super Burritos, The Story of Whipping Tom, Strange Addictions, tree fetishes, and new forms of transportation.

It's the greatest crossover of all time—again!!—as the delightful Kait & Renata from Worst Bestsellers repay our James Patterson guest spot with one of their own, joining us for James Patterson & Gabrielle Charbonnet's Witch & Wizard. Yes, it's dude magic and lady magic together again for the very first time, in a Frankensteined-up teen-centered dystopia slash ... record scratch noise Holocaust metaphor? And the blandest title ever committed to print, with a prophecy naming the brother-and-sister team who will save the world after second-tier Disney semi-hit The Rescuers? Look, we're just as confused as you are, and we do this all the time. Anyway, this is a book (probably?) for modern-day teens (we think?) that includes an incredibly up-to-date reference to (racist caricature) Ming the Merciless on like page two, so it's safe to say that it's real James Patterson hours around here, folks. Anyways, Renata & Kait are great, this book is definitely not, and this episode is more fun than anybody can have without an heirloom drumstick and a leather-bound book.   Recommendations: Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor Gravity Falls on Hulu Into the Spider-Verse Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins Bluets by Maggie Nelson Music: "Everything Is Not What It Seems (Wizard of the Waverly Soundtrack)" by Selena Gomez "Your Body Is a Wonderland" by John Mayer "Kids in America ('93)" by Lawnmower Deth (or the De la Deth mix)

Evan and Binksy say cheers and discuss a day out with Stan and Ollie, dining on delicious pasta and talk about actors doing their own stunts. We have a few podcast recommendations and in TV we talk Rosehaven and Great British Bake Off. Finally, for this week in wrestling we discuss the Hulk Hogan biopic, New Japan Honor Rising, NXT, Raw and WWE Elimination Chamber. Cheers!

Aaron and Darren jump into things as we officially launch The SaaS Venture.

Well I guess there's no going back. We are officially launching episode one, The Hard Things.00:15 Speaker 2: Welcome to the SaaS Venture Podcast, sharing the adventure of leading and growing a bootstrap SaaS company. Hear the experiences, challenges, wins and losses shared in each episode. From Aaron Weiche of GatherUp and Darren Shaw of Whitespark. Let's go.[music]00:44 AW: Welcome to the SaaS Venture. I'm Aaron.00:47 Darren Shaw: And I'm Darren.00:49 AW: And we have finally decided to abandon or move away from all other ways of communication and get into this podcast thing and super excited to be bringing you guys through our world of trying to lead and manage and grow our SaaS companies, which both GatherUp and Whitespark are bootstrapped, and share just some of our day-to-day and month-to-month activities and what keeps us up at night, or everything else that goes in with it. And Darren I was trying to go through my head and figure out when was it... I know we were at a conference, but we were talking about doing a podcast together. It was some time ago, but I can't remember where it started.01:34 DS: Yeah, you proposed the idea at MNSearch Summit. It was in the after-event at some pub that was right across the street from where the conference center was. And I was actually FaceTiming with my Violet, so having a little FaceTime with my daughter, and you actually came in and had some FaceTime with her, and then after that little call you're like, "We should do a podcast." And I was like, "Yeah, that sounds fun." And so we talked a little bit about it.01:57 AW: That makes sense, where it was like some learning, some mental stimulation, being around smart people at a conference and then mix in a few beers. And that's when the big ideas happen.02:09 DS: I think that's how every podcast starts really. [chuckle] A few beers are required.02:14 AW: I don't know if I've heard anyone else document that so we might be the first to admit to it.02:18 DS: Maybe, yeah. Yeah, I'm excited. This is gonna be good. There's so much to talk about and it's a new, I often talk about local search things, but this is talking about running the business, it's a new topic for me to share with the world, so I'm excited about it.02:33 AW: Yeah, me too. Same thing, both of us speak at a ton of digital marketing and other types of conferences where we're asked to come in and give... For me, it's how to get more reviews and customer feedback and customer experience and it's so tactically driven a lot of the times. And I think both of us were really intrigued by this to share more of running a business, things unique to a bootstrap SaaS company, and all of those other aspects that we really don't get to talk and share a lot about, and it's also content that we're constantly seeking out ourselves through podcasts and articles and things like that.03:07 DS: Yeah, and I think it's gonna be highly educational for me as well. Just getting a chance to chat with you on a regular basis, and then even thinking about these things like, "Okay, I wanna talk about this process that we're dealing with with our pricing page," or whatever and spending the time... Knowing that I'm gonna talk about it in the podcast, I'll put a little bit more effort into it. So [chuckle] I think it's gonna be great for helping drive my own personal development as well.03:30 AW: Yep, I totally agree. So even if we only get two downloads out of the gate, we will chalk this up as a success, because you and I are talking on a pretty regular basis in order to make this happen.03:42 DS: Yeah, definitely. [chuckle]03:43 AW: There you go. There's a byproduct always of wins in everything you do.03:46 DS: Absolutely.03:47 AW: So just as we touched upon this first episode of The SaaS Venture, we wanted to look at the hard things, and this got me thinking. Just this last week, I put out a tweet because I was frustrated to myself. There's a couple internal projects that are just on my plate here at GatherUp and I started looking at all of the external things I do between speaking and selling and traveling and recruiting and hiring, as we're growing our team and all these other aspects. And probably one of the hardest things for me to do are internal projects, for me personally. Where it's working on a better intranet type system is one of the things on my plate. And I was feeling really frustrated because I was having a hard time carving out the time and being able to focus on it and that led me to thinking for our first episode topic and we're starting the year here recording this in January. We'll see when we get it edited and aired. But just reflecting back of like, "Well, what was my hardest thing in 2018?" And when I looked back at that, it was another internal project, it wasn't mine, just personally, but it was an internal project for our company and that was re-branding. We used to be called GetFiveStars for the first four and a half years of our company's life, and we re-branded to GatherUp on September 17th; it sticks out in my head very, very well.05:13 DS: Why did you re-brand? What was the motivation to get a new brand name? 05:17 AW: Yeah, it's one of those multi-facets, like many fingers on the hand pointing in that direction. One, I can tell you from day one, I've been with the company for over three and a half years, is one of those things that just as like a gut check never aligned with me. I'd like to say that I'm kind of a brand marketing guy at heart, is just kinda in my core. And so, in my gut, it didn't sit right. Then we had just kind of other pieces where we had... Sometimes we would get someone who would tell us your name feels kind of spammy because it feels like I'm gonna buy five star reviews. If I purchase services from GetFiveStars, I will get five star reviews.06:00 DS: Yep.06:00 AW: As we went up channel in our customers and started having bigger customers, we had a couple that were using the company Five Stars, which is a loyalty. And they were like, "Man it's really hard to talk about you guys and talk about Five Stars in the same meeting. And he's just like, [chuckle] "Why don't you change your name?" That was kind of comical but I was kinda like, "Yeah, I kind of agree with you." And then just looking at longevity of things like we have GatherUp now, we just finally got word that we're officially registered, trade marked. That was never gonna happen with the word GetFiveStars and it was just kind of like GetFiveStars felt tactical where GatherUp feels like a brand. So it was kind of a collection of all of those things that really signaled to us that we need to start looking for a new name.06:47 DS: That makes sense.06:48 AW: Now the process of that, that's a pretty interesting process, right? There is kind of like all these little steps and hurdles. The first part is trying to figure out a name, that might be the hardest part, because so many other things after that, are steps and processes and things you document and checklist and whatever else, where the initially figuring it out is extremely difficult. At first we tried to do it by committee with the four or five of us that we kind of call our executive team, within our company. And it really kind of fizzled out after that. And then to be honest, there's just a lot of... And I know not many people want to admit this, but a lot of late night texting with Mike Blumenthal, where he and I just, sending text, "What about this? What do you think about this?" And you'd kinda judge if it had any legs, based on how long it took the other person to reply. [chuckle]07:42 DS: Right? Yeah, it's like, "if there's a long silence then it's maybe not a hit."07:47 AW: Yes, yeah, you kinda knew it wasn't there. And I don't remember what it was or how or whatever else, but I was doing a lot of working and researching thesaurus.com, and looking into all kinds of other things that were related to what we were doing, but yet unrelated, and things like that and GatherUp just kinda came into place and was one of those like, where sent it across to Mike and got kind of a... Nothing gives you a yes. Most of the things that you sent across, a couple will get you like a maybe, right? 08:16 DS: Right. Did you start at the domain registry searching. You've gotta be able to get the domain, so how did you... You've gotta start there, right? 08:25 AW: Yeah, totally. When you're an online SaaS company, anything but the dot com to us was just non-negotiable, so...08:34 DS: Yeah, same here. Whitespark.ca. [chuckle]08:37 AW: Yeah, so going through that, and that was its own deal, it was like, "Yeah, okay, gatherup.com was not being used by anything, which is a great sign and we were able to figure out it was for sale but then luckily we had a contact who had recently secured a domain name for a friend of ours and his SaaS business, so we went through him. Definitely one thing I learned from my wife, being a very successful realtor over the years is negotiating with emotions is a really bad idea. So to have someone represent you in that domain name was definitely helpful because I definitely got emotions, where we're looking like, "Oh this could be the future of our company," and the other side's looking at like, "Well, how do I maximize and make the most out of something that somebody wants in this moment right now?" That can really cause some of that back and forth to be skewed a little bit.09:28 DS: Yeah, are you happy with the price you paid in the end? 09:31 AW: Yes totally, we were willing to go probably at least two to three times as high as what we paid for it, we paid in the thousands of dollars and we had kinda capped and said like, "Alright, if it comes in and it needs to be this much here's what we're willing to go." Because we looked at it like, "This is an investment in our future, we feel good about it, and we're willing to go that high." So the amount wasn't so much, it was one of those... It was an interesting process. Let's just say the domain owner was somebody who lives off the grid, wants to stay off the grid, so his kind of payment request and process were not a normal process for purchasing a domain. [chuckle] But anyway, basically between briefcases of cash, we ended up securing...10:15 DS: Is it drop them in by drone or something? Briefcase... [chuckle]10:18 AW: It was darn [10:19] ____. If I laid it all out...10:20 DS: It's [10:21] ____ up a mountain.10:22 AW: Yeah, if I laid it all out you'd get a good laugh. And it was kinda one of those things too where it's talking about the emotions. A couple of people in our company where just probably ready to quit at that point 'cause this person didn't make it any easier. Mike and I were at the point where we're like, "Hey, well, if this is something super sketchy or fraudulent, we'll put up the funds for it, the company won't be out." We're betting that this is a little strange, but the world of domain-ing is strange. So it just was what it was.10:47 DS: It was worth it. I struggle with it myself, because I once had the opportunity to get whitespark.com. When I registered my company, which is a local Edmonton web developer and so I didn't really care. I was happy to get the dot CA and whitespark.com was owned by a company in Portugal who was an engineering firm and I was like, "Okay, whatever. They're far away, it's not gonna really impact me." But then they went out of business, the name went up for auction, and I joined the auction, but I screwed up something. I never got the domain. So now it's floating out there and every once in a while they hit me up and they're like, "Hey do you wanna buy this domain?" And I'm like, "Sure I'll offer you this much." And they're like, "My client thinks the domain is worth six figures." And then I just laugh it off and I never bother doing it. So it's really annoying. I would like to have the dot com, but don't six figures want the dot com.11:35 AW: No. Well, keep after it. I feel like sooner or later, I believe in you, I think you can win that battle.11:41 DS: Thanks man, I appreciate that.11:43 AW: And then it got easier. Our Twitter handle, we ended up... There's another great one. It was registered 10 years ago by a gentleman in Australia and Mike Blumenthal went all the way down to... 'Cause the guy wasn't active on social media at all, but Mike ended up finding out that he coached his kid's rugby team, and he went through the President of the rugby club to reach this guy.12:08 DS: Wow, that's a story right there. That's a whole podcast.12:10 AW: Yeah, totally.12:11 DS: We've gotta get Mike on.12:12 AW: And I think we had a part with either $500 or $750 for the Twitter handle, but completely worth it and the experience of tracking him down was a story within itself.12:23 DS: Nice.12:24 AW: Yeah. And then once you kinda get past those pieces and you have the right thing and everything else, a lot of it on our side was just looking at a lot of processes and documents.12:34 DS: So many things to update, yeah.12:35 AW: Oh my gosh. And our biggest goal was don't mess this up. We have thousands of customers with a daily experience and the master plan was rolling everybody into this new brand. We had given our customers a heads up as we got towards the tail end, but we didn't wanna disrupt service and transfer everybody from one domain to another, and there was some architectural things that were different. We went from... Our app was running just at getfivestars.com and we moved everything to a sub-domain for GatherUp on app.gatherup.com for a number of different reasons. So just not messing up was the biggest thing. But, yeah, we created a spreadsheet basically by department in the company and here's everything that engineering needs to do, here's everything sales and marketing needs to do. From changing Zoom accounts, email addresses to what's on an invoice, here's what billing has to do. There's this giant spreadsheet that for months we just looked at and kept picking things off and just made sure like, "Okay... "13:38 DS: Adding things too. 'Cause like, "Oh, I forgot about this." There must be so many little things that you kept remembering. "Oh we have to change this, we have to have to update that."13:44 AW: We still had a few stragglers here and there afterwards, but you just stay focused and work hard on the details and you have everybody on the same page, and it went really well. I couldn't have been more proud of our team and the effort and the work that they put in. Engineering especially, they replicated environments, we had no issues related to the transfer at all. Replicate environments, then transferred all the data. Everything went perfectly smooth. I was counting on being on some 48-hour bender, never sleeping, fixing things, talking to customers, apologizing. You plan for the worst, right? [chuckle]14:23 DS: I would expect that too. And as a reseller, we resell GatherUp at Whitespark. I was really impressed that your communication as well was fantastic. So all of your client communication in your email newsletter and your blog and your social feed did a really good job of making sure that the communication was clear and the transfer was really seamless for everybody. So I think it was really impressive.14:49 AW: Thanks. I appreciate that. We definitely learned a lot of things out of it. I think what you hit upon, communication is so key. You see it so many different ways. I think it was just last week on Twitter, there was a big flare up because Drip raised prices and the way they communicated it and the stipulations they gave, people were all up in arms and it was just one of those reminders to me as a leader in our company, how important it is to communicate early and often. And honestly, those are really big things in ways to engage your customer base that keep them as a strong community and believing in you and trusting you and spending their money with you.15:28 DS: Yeah, definitely. And it's one of the things that I think we need to work on and improve and I think it comes from me as the leader of the company, sometimes I'm not the best communicator and I need to make sure that when we launch something we have a bit of a communication plan around that. So planning communication is part of the piece that we often don't put enough time into. And after this podcast though, I'm gonna much better.15:53 AW: There you go. Sometimes it's just being self-aware of what it is. There's a whole another podcast for us, self-awareness. I'm big into that. We can go and do a lot of things there. I have my own things to work on.16:06 DS: So what are the biggest wins? How did it benefit the company? 16:10 AW: So to me, there's two things that really stand out is one, being able to take this from scratch approach and truly create a brand and have so much cohesiveness and touch all the small things and really create it the way you want, was really, really important. Because our site and our messaging and so many other things over four and a half years kind of got Frankensteined together, and that's understandable with a startup. You're just happy sometimes to live for the next day, and you're not really thinking far out into the future. And I really took that approach with this and was like, "Alright, how do we best tell our story and how do we get to those pieces?" I really have seen that take hold with how we wanted that to work out for us in our brand positioning and messaging and things like that.17:03 AW: And then the second thing I looked at is it was such an internal win for us because it allowed us to tighten up the things we talk about internally, and define our why so much better. We built out core values for the first time in our company, which might sound crazy to some but we always... We're just doing the work and we kinda sorta knew why and what we made decisions off of. But we're really able to nail these down. In some regards I felt like I was cheating because I had... It wasn't just putting them out there into the air, we had years of doing this. So it was just like how do we tighten that up. And it really turned into something that when it all came together, I really saw our team all come together.17:45 DS: Nice. And then how about the reception? How the clients, customers, everyone received the new name change. Any complaints? Everyone's generally happy with it.17:55 AW: Yeah. I would say 90-95% was all... Customers are great. When you do the right things, they support you, they cheer you on, they share it for you. Some people... Change is always hard for some. Some will be like, "Great. I have to retrain myself this, and where to log in and what to call you guys." There was definitely some small pieces of that but the good far outweighed it and people were really like... I felt like they saw what our vision is. That we're not just about reviews, we're about creating a connection between the customer and the business, and they already saw it in our features and now we're putting this wrapper on it that best represents it.18:33 DS: Yep, nice.18:34 AW: Yeah, and really the only big scary thing was just... We are 99% inbound marketing, and so switching domains and ending up in that Google sandbox, and for us it was a five to six-week sandbox, that was scary stuff.18:50 DS: So, yeah, that 301 redirect, so you're gonna redirect all your relevant pages to the equivalent page on gatherup.com, but that doesn't flow immediately, it takes, what, five to six weeks for you? 19:00 AW: Yeah, yeah, it took us five to six weeks, so it was just daily of doing searches, and monitoring things in Ahrefs, and consulting others that are out there, "Have you seen it happen this long?" There was just so many things, and finally when we started seeing a branded result and site links and things like that, and you start to see things tick up in Search Console, you're like, "Yes, yes, we're coming out of it." [chuckle]19:25 DS: Well, that's interesting. I thought Google would be a little quicker with that. Five or six week seems like a really long time for them to get the pictures, considering that you've gone into Google My Business and changed the entity name, you 301 redirected the whole site, it's shocking it takes Google five to six weeks to get it all resorted out.19:44 AW: It was shocking. I wanted it to sandbox for five or six minutes. [chuckle] Not five or six weeks.19:50 DS: Yeah. That's what you'd expect, you think Google's so smart these days, right? 19:53 AW: Yep, totally. So I would say if anyone else, if you're facing this, if you're gonna do it, that's one thing you have to consider, especially if you're heavily dependent on inbound, it's gonna be more than a blip on the map, and you've gotta be willing to wait it out. And in our case, too, we also had great... I went back to people who had written articles in the past 30 days that were still fresh and asked them to change and update link... We tried to do everything we could to send the strongest signals possible, anything to wriggle us out of that sooner than later, but yeah, it ended up a month and change until we were out.20:26 DS: Yeah, a brand might actually consider planning for that and allocating additional budget for PPC and other marketing, paid marketing, in order to cover the loss you're gonna get from organic marketing in that period.20:40 AW: Yep ... Nope. Smart. I should have done that. That was definitely one thing we didn't consider, we were...20:44 DS: You didn't know. You didn't expect five to six weeks, did you? 20:46 AW: No, no. We were so consumed. I definitely expected a couple of weeks; I expected two to three weeks, but it really doubled. So that was definitely a hard thing about the hard thing.20:57 DS: Great. There's our first big teaching moment in the podcast. [chuckle] Anybody listening, if you ever do a re-brand, prepare for a five to six-week downtime in your organic traffic.21:08 AW: Totally. Well, enough of putting me on the spot, I wanted to get to... As we were talking before this and before hitting record, I find your hard thing really interesting because what yours is is a hard thing is putting together a giant study, and you definitely do that. You have taken over the Local Search ranking Factors report on a yearly basis. And I would just love to hear more about and ask you a couple of questions around what is it like putting together something that has so many opinions, is that massive, and then ends up on such a visible stage to people? 21:49 DS: Yeah, it's a pretty hard thing. But it's funny, because I have this very positive outlook on things. Before I do something, it seems so easy. It's like, "Oh yeah, no problem. I'll be able to get that done in two weeks." [chuckle] And then after I do something and it's in the past, I'm like, "That was no problem." But when I'm actually working on it, when I really think about it, it was a ton of work, and there were a lot of challenges that I had to face through it. So I think it's very applicable for our hard things topic.22:16 DS: So let me just describe what it is, because not everyone that listens might be familiar. So it's called the Local Search Ranking Factors, and it was originally conceived and executed by David Mihm; he prepared this study for, I think, eight years before he handed the reins over to me. And what he started with was he would send out a spreadsheet and ask the 30, 40, 50 top notable local search experts to rank the factors that are driving local search. And so each year he would add new factors and remove factors that aren't applicable anymore, and it was a spreadsheet thing, and you would just drag the factors that you think have the most importance versus the least importance. And so when I took over, I would basically execute it the exact same way.23:03 DS: And so some of the really hard things are chasing people down. So first it's like, "Are you gonna participate? Hey, can you get this back to me. I'm still... " So you're trying to chase people. And then another thing that I did this year, which was maybe a bit too ambitious, was I wanted to take it out of the spreadsheet format. Instead of dragging factors in a spreadsheet and copying and pasting, which was kind of clunky and difficult and challenging, I wanted to use a drag and drop survey tool. I looked at maybe, I don't know, five or six of the top survey tools, and none of them really offered the features that I needed, so we decided to build our own. So we put it together and we now have a little tool that we created that allows participants to just drag the factors in and really do it easier and simpler.23:53 DS: And another benefit to that is that now everything gets saved to the database, and so I now can run queries to run the analysis. And so it was really nice, actually, one of the first times... I haven't touched code in a long time, but I wrote all of these SQL procedures in order to extract the data, and I felt really proud of myself for actually writing some code, 'cause I don't do that anymore, my developers do not let me touch code anymore. [chuckle] Yeah.24:20 AW: This sounds like you might have built a whole new product. We might need to start talking about how you're gonna go to market with this. [chuckle]24:26 DS: That is a challenge. We're always building things, and I think, "I could sell this." I was like... [chuckle] We already have way too many little things at Whitespark, that's part of the problem.24:35 AW: Yeah. So between all these things, Darren, you're getting it all put together, you're building software to make it easier for people to do it, you're chasing down participants. What's your time investment into this report each year? 24:49 DS: It's really hard to estimate, but if I had to give a number, I would say maybe 300 hours roughly; 300 hours went into it. It's a lot of time, a lot, a lot of hours, and that's over months and months and months. So it's first reworking the form. What are the things that need to be changed this year, what are factors that need to be taken out, building the software, it's refining the software, it's chasing people, getting answers, going back and forth 'cause some people actually had problems with the software where it wouldn't save their answers, and so dealing with those kinds of things. And then after that, okay, let's say everyone took the survey, great, I have all the data. Then I spent a ton of time extracting all the analysis, so I'm analyzing the results and trying to get the numbers. I'm reading through all the commentary, trying to pull out information in there.25:35 DS: And then I'm preparing slide decks 'cause I took it to SearchLove London, and that was the first place I presented the results. And then I had another conference a week after that, so I had to prepare two slide decks. And then it's getting it ready to publish, so it's extracting all of the content and putting it into a resource format. It's writing up my take on it, preparing a blog post that pulls out what are the high-level take-aways. Oh, and then I also flew to Moz to film a Whiteboard Friday on it. And it even still comes up. So let's just be clear, I am not complaining. [chuckle] The beauty of it is that it's this non-stop marketing engine for me because... And I just got invited to go and speak at the Local Search Association, so he wants me to present on the Local Search Ranking Factors. Great, I already got that stuff and I know [26:25] ____ so it's really nice to be able to continue to reuse this as marketing over and over. And I got to present on a bunch of different webinars. And so it's a lot of work, but with a lot of reward. And so I love it quite a bit; it's a really fun thing to do.26:41 AW: Yeah, no, I mean, it absolutely gives such an authoritative stance by being the one to pull it together. And I think... I look at... I did it for four or five years when I was more hands-on and still running a digital agency before David even made it drag-and-drop, David Mihm who originally started it. And I remember feeling like this is a lot of work to fill out this spreadsheet when I got it, much less have to wrangle it all together and everything else, but...27:13 DS: Yeah. Yeah, I remember actually spending a good five, six hours just doing the survey as a participant.27:18 AW: Yeah. Well, and it was kinda nerve-racking, too, because I always looked at it like, "Oh, when David reads this, is he gonna think I'm dumb compared to someone else's opinion? Is he comparing these really hard against each... Is he doing his own ranking on who's actually intelligent or not?" It was nerve-wracking.27:34 DS: Right. It's an intelligence score, he scores everybody based on how close your answers are to his.[laughter]27:43 AW: I can see that happening.27:44 DS: Yeah, I totally felt that way taking it, and it's something you don't take lightly when you do that survey, you wanna make sure that what you're putting out there is your best effort, because it is evaluated by David himself, and then a lot of commentary gets read by everybody that does local search, so yeah.28:02 AW: So you touched on a number of the things from obviously the positioning as an authority, and an industry influencer, and all the different conferences and talks and things like that. What are some of the SEO benefits? Can you turn that into anything tangible for us to understand what it gives off in that, and backlinks and mentions and all that kind of stuff? 28:25 DS: Yeah, it's hard to measure. I bet you I could do a little bit of research and figure out how many times Local Search Ranking Factors and Whitespark are mentioned together, and then find all the ones that are actually linking, but it's a ton. Every time you publish this, there are so many links that go out. And I publish it on Moz, I don't publish it on the Whitespark website, so a lot of those links are going to Moz, which is fine. But another big benefit is Moz has a huge audience, so it puts me in front of Moz's audience, which a lot of enterprises follow, and so it has this really great marketing reach, and it really establishes me as one of the top influencers in local search as the person who executes this study. And so, yeah, it gives us a lot of clout, we get a lot of leads and calls because of that position, and so its dollar value is impossible to measure, and marketing value is impossible to measure, but it is... You can feel it.29:23 DS: After we publish this thing, you can feel the number of contacts really increase at Whitespark. The number of emails that I personally get that then end up turning into various forms of work, people either signing up for our software or contacting us for enterprise work. You really notice it after doing something like this. And then, of course, more invitations to go and speak at conferences, which then leads to more of that. So there is a huge benefit, and I really have to thank David for passing those reins to me, it's been a massive gift. And he's done such a great job of preparing this; he really just handed it to me on a silver platter, and I couldn't be more grateful. That guy's amazing.30:04 AW: Well, I would agree with that. I like David as well. I think you're doing an outstanding job with it. I like the fact that even when you look at it, you consider the process and how you could improve it, and your software and product side of you led to figuring out efficiencies with that and how you can make it easier to extract data and run queries against it and everything else. I think those are kinda cool things happening within your process that you probably, at some point in time, will look back and be like, all right, that was kind of wild that we just continued to evolve it even further from what it was.30:38 DS: Yeah, definitely. And it's also exciting to think about the evolution of it, because one of the things we're gonna talk about at the Local U event that's happening in Santa Monica in early February is we're gonna talk about the Local Search Ranking factors: Does it still make sense to sort factors this way? And so it's a real thought exercise as well, this whole thing where we get to think about what is driving local search. And so from a personal development perspective, it really helps drive me forward as well in terms of is this... Is what we've been doing to rank businesses in local search still applicable? And the way that we decide what drives local search, does that still make sense? And so it's exciting from that development perspective to be able to push the industry that way.31:23 AW: Yeah, for sure. Well, you kind of touched on here, as we get ready to wrap up episode one, I was gonna ask what are you up to in the next couple of weeks before we talk again, and try to get another show recorded, and put that out there. I think first week of February is Local U Advanced in Santa Monica. I was bummed, I won't be there, I'll actually be just north of there, I'll be in San Jose at SaaStr Annual, which is the big...31:50 DS: Oh, yeah.31:50 AW: SaaS conference. It's almost too big, it's 10,000 people.31:56 DS: You told me about this one, yeah.31:57 AW: Yeah, it's really... The thing I love about it is, you go into a session, you sit down, you introduce yourself to the person next to you, and it's most likely the CEO or a VP of sales, or someone else at another SaaS company that you can just make really great connections with, and ask a few questions, and learn more about things that they do, and everything else. So for me, the networking, and connections, and war stories, and finding insight, all of that, to me, is usually on par or even greater value than some of the presentations that are there. I will say...32:31 DS: I often find that at conferences, where just the relationship building and the conversations you have outside of the talks, that's where a ton of the value of going to conferences.32:39 AW: Yep. No, and that's why I'll be missing it at Local U, all of the... It's such a great conference, and it's family style, where you get 50-75 attendees, and all the speakers, and it's just a ton of great knowledge share for 2-3 days on so many different levels, so I'll definitely be missing out on that, but... So is it where you also... That would be my fun place where I'd wanna spend my time at a conference, but I definitely get a lot out of the SaaStr Annual, and need to be there as well. And I haven't found a way to duplicate myself yet, so I can't be at two...33:12 DS: Yeah, well, maybe next year I'll come to that SaaStr with you, that sounds awesome.33:16 AW: There you go, you should totally do it. I'll show you... This'll be my third year now, so would love to have you there so I had someone else that I know to hang out with and everything when networking falls apart.33:28 DS: Yeah, that'd be fun. So yeah, next couple weeks, we've got a number of developments happening within the company. We've been rebuilding our Local Citation Finder in modern technology; it was built on some pretty old stuff and had some really terrible code in it. And so we basically started from scratch with it, rebuilding the whole thing in Laravel and Vue, the most modern versions of those, and so that's been wonderful. Oh my god, I'm so happy [chuckle] to see the new Local Citation Finder coming together. So our staging environment, I was playing around with it, I have a weekly call with the team on that, and was playing with it today, and it's just such a delight to use compared to the old piece of crap. And the Local Citation Finder is probably our most popular product, it is our most popular product. We have so many new sign-ups coming in all the time, and that user experience they're having is just... To me, it feels like it's been letting them down. So I can't wait to launch this new version, and we might be able to get it out in the next two weeks before our next call.34:26 DS: I'm also launching... You're gonna find this interesting, Aaron, we're launching a software system called... It's just this free little thing, we call it Review Checker. So what it does is it Googles your brand name plus reviews and a whole bunch of different search terms, and then it aggregates anything in the search results that has stars. So if you've got schema markup and there's stars, it's gonna pull all that stuff in and give you a little report of all the places you're getting reviews. And so pretty much every review site is returning schema, and as long as they have enough authority they're gonna get pulled into our tool. So it's this great quick check, and we have a review score algorithm where we calculate what your review score is, and we show you all the sites you're getting reviews on. And so that little free tool, which will funnel into our GatherUp resell software called Reputation Builder, we should get that out the door in the next couple weeks as well, so I'm really pumped about that.35:19 AW: Awesome, yeah, you got some great, great things going on there that, yeah, we'll have to catch up in a couple of weeks and determine what topics to talk about on episode two. But as you and I have discussed, there is always so much going on on both sides for us that we really don't think content of sharing what we're up to, what we're planning, decision-making, all that kind of stuff is gonna be too difficult for us.35:42 DS: No, we're gonna have lots of content, so much to talk about.35:44 AW: All right, well, we got one recorded here; we'll see what the future holds for us. Thanks everyone for listening to episode one of the SaaS Venture, where myself and Darren Shaw take you through what it's like to lead and grow bootstrap SaaS companies through our own struggles, wins, losses, experiences, and challenges, and we hope we will see you again by subscribing to our podcast. Thanks, and have a great day everybody.36:11 DS: Thanks for joining us. See you next time.
