Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/572 Presented By: Northern Rockies Adventures, Visit Helena, MT, Skwala, TroutRoutes  Ready to experience the thrill of sight fishing for redfish? Would you like to visit one of the most natural and diverse barrier islands in the world? We've got the Bay Flats Lodge crew on the podcast to share some tips on sight fishing for redfish and what makes this part of the Texas coast so special. Today you will hear from six of the most passionate guides in Texas and the tips they use to catch redfish by sight. You'll find out how to cast in the wind and why you need to practice your backcast cast. Show Notes with Bay Flats Lodge Crew on Sight Fishing For Redfish.  1:43 - The Bay Flats Lodge specializes in boutique fly fishing experiences, particularly in the unique landscape of the Texas coast, offering access to vast marshlands, creeks, and backcountry areas. The Guides of Bay Flats Lodge Capt. Dylan Murley 5:23 - Dylan is from Bastrop, Texas. His journey into guiding was initially sparked by fishing trips with family and friends along the Texas coast. Transitioning to guiding in South Padre and eventually joining the team in Sea Drift, Dylan emphasizes the diverse and captivating nature of the fishery in this area. Tip: Dylan emphasizes the importance of polarized sunglasses for spotting fish and advises beginners to focus on looking through the water rather than just at the surface. Capt. Matt Lough 7:55 - Matt, a native Texan from East Texas, discovered fly fishing at a young age and has been pursuing his passion ever since. While he initially focused on trout fishing, he transitioned to guiding for redfish about three months ago and has found a deep love for sight fishing. "I love trout fishing, but once I discovered the redfish game, it's just something I never want to leave." Capt. Tyler Brown 9:20 - Tyler is originally from Kerrville, Texas, where he grew up fishing in the headwaters of the Guadalupe River. Despite not yet catching a redfish in the Guadalupe River, he expresses interest in doing so, considering it a future goal. Capt. Dane Scott 10:19 - Dane is originally from Pueblo, Colorado, where he grew up fishing in western Colorado due to his grandfather owning a fly shop. Six years ago, he made his way to the coast and immediately fell in love with fishing for redfish, eventually becoming a guide in the area for the past four years. Capt. Mike Gaglianese 11:30 - Mike is originally from upstate New Y ork, specifically Utica, and later moved to Gunnison, Colorado, where he met Dane. They became roommates and began guiding together. Now in their fourth year on the coast, Mike shares his love for coastal living, enjoying the seasonal split between the coast and the mountains. Fly Fishing at Bay Flats Lodge  12:38 - Chris says that the Bay Flats Lodge offers fly fishing opportunities year-round, with no closed season. The unique location, driven by tides and winds, ensures consistent fishing opportunities regardless of the season, with diverse areas protected by mangroves and creeks. 14:40 - Tyler explains that while they primarily catch slot-sized redfish ranging from 20 to 28 inches, occasionally they encounter larger fish over 30 inches. 18:48 - One crucial tip Dane offers is to understand the directions given by the guide and to be mindful of the length of the fly rod when estimating distances. Additionally, he recommends using an 8 weight rod for optimal performance in their fishing conditions. 22:57 - Dylan and Dane discuss the influence of wind on their fishing conditions. While calm periods can be conducive to fishing, excessively glassy water can make fish skittish. They emphasize the importance of adapting to varying wind conditions. 31:38 - Chris discusses the importance of immediate line retrieval upon casting to maintain tension and minimize slack. He notes that sight fishing allows anglers to observe most takes, particularly in clear water, but acknowledges Dane's preference for fishing in dirtier water where redfish use camouflage to approach their prey unnoticed. Choosing the Right Fly for Redfish 37:18 - The crew notes the importance of fly selection based on the fishing conditions, including depth, bottom structure, and the behavior of the fish on a particular day. While hungry redfish may take almost any fly, weight, pattern, and color nuances become crucial considerations. 40:18 - Dane suggests using a bead chain instead of dumbbell eyes. He also likes a mix of natural and synthetic materials in fly tying. He prefers feather flies for their slower sink rate and resistance to water saturation. Sight Fishing For Redfish: Casting Tips 45:00 - When casting into strong winds, double hauling and maintaining line speed are crucial. Practice short, accurate shots and be adaptable with rod angles to adjust to wind direction. Additionally, consider utilizing roll casting techniques for effective casting in challenging conditions. 47:00 - Mastering the back cast can be crucial, especially for casting off to the right side of the boat quickly without spooking fish. It's important to fish the fly, not the fly line, and to practice a slow pickup to avoid spooking fish when recasting. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/572

Hundreds of thousands of people lost power in the Bay Area, streets were flooded and trees were uprooted, crushing houses and cars as winds gusts reached as high as over 100 mph in Sunday's storm. But some of the most feared impacts, such as flooding from the Guadalupe River in San Jose, didn't happen. We check in on how the Bay Area fared in the storm. Guests: Ezra David Romero, climate reporter, KQED The nation's largest grower of stone fruit, Prima Wawona, is shutting down leaving 5,400 workers out of a job. Four years ago, a private equity firm bought up two major stone fruit growers in Fresno to create the peach power house, which claimed it produced five times more peaches than the entire state of Georgia. Last fall, Prima Wawona shocked the Fresno community by declaring bankruptcy, blaming too much debt, bad weather, and rising costs among other factors. The former CEO has since sued the company claiming the failure was caused by poor management and unnecessary spending on consultants. We'll talk about what the company's stunning demise means for Fresno and what the increased interest from private equity in agriculture means for the future of farming in California. Guests: Antonio De Loera-Brust, director of communications, United Farm Workers Daniel Gligich, senior reporter, The San Joaquin Valley Sun Rod James, reporter covering private equity, The Wall Street Journal

On today's podcast I'll be talking to longtime Lucky Star camper and instructor, Leslie Gaworecki.  Leslie is a photographer turned abstract artist from Houston, Texas. After moving often and living abroad for much of her youth, she received a BFA in photography from The Ohio State University and found her way back to Texas. Leslie spent the next decade photographing people and events across the country and teaching herself to paint. In 2016 she began showing paintings in her Houston studio and in exhibitions within the city. In 2019 she signed with her first art gallery and had her first solo exhibition. Leslie's painting practice is driven by color and the surprises that happen when she releases expectation (a lesson she is still trying to learn about life). Leslie lives with her husband, an accidental cat, and four sons who inspire her mark-making and her tendency toward whimsy.  Welcome to the podcast, Leslie Gaworecki!  You can find Leslie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lesliegaworeckiart/ (@lesliegaworeckiart) Lucky Star 2022 Classes:  Abstract Landscapes and Happy Hearts Today's episode is sponsored by SuperDoodleGirl! -- Have you ever felt stuck when you try to do something creative? You know the feeling when you don't know what to do next or you get easily overwhelmed by the supplies. Do you stare at a blank page or canvas not knowing how to get started? Maybe you say to yourself, “I am not creative” or “I always start things and never finish them.”  Roxanne (known online as Super Doodle Girl) has heard so many stories like this from people who want to be creative and don't know how to start. So, she created Super Doodle Girl's Journal Jumpstart course to help you transform your fear of the blank page into your own personal super power by guiding you through every step of the art journal process.

On today's podcast I interview a new Lucky Star instructor, Yasmin Youssef. Yasmin is a visual artist living and working in Austin, Texas. Her mixed media collage, NFTs, and cyanotype work is influenced by her multi-cultural heritage as well as her professional careers as a Middle Eastern dancer and User Experience designer. While designing enterprise level software for the tech industry, Yasmin was also performing nationally and internationally with Thievery Corporation, Govinda, and as a member of the dance collective she co-founded. Yasmin's artistic pursuits expanded into visual art as a natural way to gather and present ethereal & moving experiences. In her mixed media works, inspired by lifespans of beauty and decay in the Natural World, Yasmin reveals deep layers and rich texture by building up and scraping back materials such as vintage collage ephemera, plaster, acrylics, gold leaf, and mark-making. Her work explores common themes, including rich color palettes, elements from the Natural World, and moods of introspection, connection, and internal strength. This will be Yasmin's first time teaching at Lucky Star Art Camp and she is excited to share her techniques for creating mixed media collage portraits as well as mini travel journals. Welcome to the podcast, Yasmin Youssef!  Website: https://www.yasmin.ws/ (Yasmin.ws) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100062930097046 (TheGoldCurrent) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegoldcurrent/?hl=en (@thegoldcurrent) Pinterest:  https://www.pinterest.com/thegoldcurrent/ (@thegoldcurrent) Lucky Star Classes:  Mixed Media Collage Portraits and Mini Travel Journals  Today's episode is sponsored by Rockin' R Retreat Center.

On today's podcast I'll be talking to a new Lucky Star instructor, Liberty Lindley.  Liberty has spent her life exploring creativity!  Her grandfather is an incredible artist so she grew up admiring the sculptures in his studio and being immersed in the world of art at a very young age. He loved art in all its forms and encouraged her exploring different visual arts mediums, as well as dance. It was no surprise that she attended an arts High School in South Florida and then graduated college earning a degree in Musical Theatre with a concentration in Dance. After graduation Liberty moved to NYC to chase Broadway and met her husband in a worship band they were in together. They moved to Nashville to pursue music, film, television and teach dance at the Nashville School of Dance. When their son came along they moved to her husband's home town, Kerrville, Texas and soon added twin girls to their family!

On today's podcast, I'm joined by Kate O'Brien.  Kate is a multi-passionate creative and outdoor enthusiast. In 2019, Kate stepped away from a long career in commercial interior design, to pursue a different creative path and lifestyle.  She relocated to her historic Hill Country property, tending to her AirBNB, gardens, cats, dogs, numerous chickens and longtime boyfriend. From there, she does a few projects each year, particularly designing interiors for the homes of severely wounded veterans.  Kate was introduced to tomahawk throwing several years ago, on an expedition in the Tetons, with her sons and later honed her skills under the guidance of a national tomahawk throwing champion. “Texas Hawks “ was soon launched as an offering at retreats, fundraisers and corporate team building. Kate finds the activity seems to especially resonate with women, combining stress relief with a feeling of empowerment. Welcome to the podcast Kate O'Brien! As a tomahawk throwing coach, Kate encourages women to focus on the intention, which brings a sense of power, not limited by physical strength or ability. Texas Tomahawk Throwing with K8 will be offered as a Lucky Star Extra.

On today's podcast producer Shawn and I will be talking to Lucky Star instructor Rena Cotti. Rena has a passion for creating, learning, and teaching.  As a former high school teacher with a love of art, making, and crafting... it makes sense that this combination of teaching and creating has evolved into a life of curating experiences as a student and instructor.  So what might Rena be doing at any given moment? Maybe painting a piece of art, making a custom table with her blow torch, cooking a good meal, knitting a scarf, scrapbooking family pics, weaving, or paint pouring… She'll pretty much try her hand at any art or craft and then refine it to teach it to others. Rena's absolute favorite thing is curating get-togethers for those who need to replenish their tanks with friendship and creativity.  After hosting retreats in many different venues, in 2008, Rena and her husband opened a retreat center where her events are held and they rent out the center to other creative hosts when she is not hosting herself.  Welcome to the podcast Rena Cotti!

On today's podcast I'll be talking to a new Lucky Star instructor who just happens to be my niece, Andrea Hoehn.  Andrea is a trained and experienced interior designer who worked in the commercial architecture industry until she became a mother to two wonderful little girls and decided to stay home. But after a while, she started feeling like she lacked a creative outlet. So, she started ‘Graze', a personalized charcuterie catering and delivery service in the Denver metro area. This business allowed her to combine her passion for food, hosting, and art with her knowledge of design to create edible art. Inspired by the beautiful details in fruit and flowers, Andrea integrates texture and color into her food displays for events and her signature cheese and charcuterie boards are distinct by the way she highlights and showcases seasonal garnishes, perfect for gatherings year round.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grazeboard/ (@Grazeboard) Lucky Star Classes:  The Art of Cheese and Charcuterie  *********************************************************************************** Lucky Star is a women's art and whole living sleepaway camp that takes place each fall in the Texas hill country.

Leadership and vision are essential to implementing Engineering With Nature to create landscape-scale climate resilience. We're focusing on leadership and EWN in conversations with two inspirational USACE Division leaders – Colonel (P) Antoinette Gant, Commander, and Division Engineer of the South Pacific Division (SPD), and Brigadier General Jason Kelly, Commander of the South Atlantic Division (SAD).    In Episode 6, Host Sarah Thorne, and Todd Bridges, Senior Research Scientist for Environmental Science with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the National Lead of the Engineering With Nature® Program are talking with COL Gant about the challenges and opportunities facing the South Pacific Division, and how EWN and leadership are being applied to meet those needs.    COL Gant grew up as the child of two teachers with the dream of being a chemist, until she met Patricia Sullivan, one of her mother's students and a USACE employee, who introduced her to civil engineering. “It was just mind blowing to me what you could do as a civil engineer, the impacts that you could actually have on your community, and how you could change things. My mother always told me, ‘be the change you want to see.' So, I decided that I would try my hand at civil engineering.” COL Gant joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) as a way to pay for college and has served in the Army for 28 years. She has risen through the ranks and is slated to be promoted to Brigadier General soon. One of the ways she pays it forward is by being a strong advocate for STEM/STEAM—Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics—and speaking to young people about her journey whenever she has the opportunity.    COL Gant leads the South Pacific Division, which covers a lot of territory—Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Albuquerque Districts—and has a diverse and complex set of missions and projects. As Todd notes: “The challenges—and opportunities—that we face today with respect to climate change are unprecedented and there are few places where this is more evident than in the West, where people have brought significant changes to the landscape (for example see EWN Podcast S3E8 about changes in agriculture and water use in California). COL Gant agrees: “I always say climate change is real. The rate of change is really accelerating. Where we used to see a hurricane every once in a while, we're seeing them almost every year. Wildfires are the same. How do you prepare differently for the same wildfire, the rising tides? These are all things that we are looking to design and implement, adaptive and equitable solutions that will work over time, and work for everyone.” As we learn in our conversation, environmental justice plays a prominent role in COL Gant's thinking about these challenges and in her decision making about solutions.   We discuss how EWN provides solutions that can produce a broader array of benefits than traditional engineering approaches, while supporting opportunities for substantive engagement with communities, including vulnerable populations and under-represented communities. As Todd explains, infrastructure must be a source of service and benefit to our communities: “What we're seeking to do with EWN is to diversify that benefit. So, when we make an investment in infrastructure—say a flood risk management project in a river that runs through a community like the Guadalupe River in San Jose—we are intentional, purposeful, about looking for opportunities to diversify the value that can be created for that community in that project.” He adds, “there's so much evidence emerging in the scientific literature showing how important access to nature is, in particular for marginalized or disadvantaged communities.”   COL Gant agrees. Under her command, the South Pacific Division is taking a strong leadership role: “We're making a commitment to be the first Division that is a Proving Ground for Engineering With Nature. We're working with our Districts to be on the forefront of incorporating EWN and environmental justice principles in everything that we do. It's not just an afterthought. It's something that is incorporated from the beginning.” She explains that this means changing the way SPD does business and changing the way SPD staff work with partners, like the California Department of Water Resources (see S2E7 on working with the CA DWR), and other states and communities to build the relationships needed to produce dynamic teams that solve problems in new and innovative ways.   These efforts are being recognized by top USACE leaders and COL Gant says she is getting a lot of support from other leaderships in USACE: “That's one of the positives today. USACE—in support of the Administration's initiatives—understands that projects can't just be about a benefit ratio number. We have to look at the other items of benefit that a project brings to a community, then say ‘yes, these are the type of projects that we need to do.'” She notes that recently, the USACE's Chief of Engineers, Lieutenant General Spellmon, toured projects in the San Francisco District. District staff were able to show him the benefits of EWN, for example, how flood risk management projects can provide opportunities for recreation, biking and walking in nature. COL Gant relayed LTG Spellmon's enthusiasm for EWN after seeing the benefits of the approach first-hand, “He said: ‘You guys already are out here doing these things. We've got to figure out how to get everybody else to see how this is actually working—creating environments where people are willing to lean on each other, where they're willing to learn, where they're willing to think outside the box.'”   Todd agrees, underscoring the importance of COL Gant and the Division's leadership on EWN: “I'm so grateful and excited about the leadership that COL Gant and her team are taking on, owning EWN. As you listen to COL Gant talk about it—and her team members too—there's such a maturity in SPD in terms of what is involved in leading this kind of transformation and innovation and practice. It's clear to us that when you're doing something important and fundamental and substantive like this, you don't do it by yourself. You do it with others and partnership is the key to being able to fully realize the power and benefit that can be achieved from EWN. I look so forward to engaging and supporting the South Pacific Division in any way that we can. It's such an important opportunity and, under COL Gant's command, they're poised to do great things.”   Related Links EWN Website ERDC Website Todd Bridges at EWN Todd Bridges at LinkedIn COL Gant at USACE South Pacific Division COL Gant at LinkedIn USACE South Pacific Division   Patricia Sullivan – Associate Director ERDC Ginkgo Bioworks Cultivate Fellowship: Growing the Black STEM Community Upper Guadalupe River Flood Risk Management Project South San Francisco Bay Project California Department of Water Resources   EWN Podcast S2E7: EWN Collaboration with the California Department of Water Resources EWN Podcast S3E8: The Dreamt Land – California Water, Sustainability, and EWN

Dr Travelbest helps women travel. FAQ is: How many California Missions are there? Today's Destination is: Mission Santa Clara, California Today's Mistake- Purchasing a slip in Italy was a misunderstanding Travel Advice:  Stretch FAQ: How many missions are there in California? There are a total of  21 missions in California's Historic Mission All of these missions are on a path, which they call a trail.  All are located on or near Highway 101, which roughly traces El Camino Real named in honor of the Spanish monarchy which financed the expeditions into California in the quest for empire.   Destinations: Mission Santa Clara, California This dates back to the 1700's and from a historical point of view it has value. This mission is the 8th mission in the chain of 21 Franciscan missions established by Padre Junipero Serra. It was first founded on January 12, 1777 on the banks of the Guadalupe River and was the first to be named by a woman.  Flood fire and earthquake forced five relocations utul this site was selected in 1822. When Mexico seceded from the Spanish empire, the mission fell into decay. In 1851, they planned to turn it into a college, which is what we know today. "Located on the Guadeloupe River, the log chapel was founded in 1777 by Father Serra in honor of St. Clare only three months before his death.Located about 40 miles south of San Francisco, the main garden is devoted to tree roses, a mission tradition, and the string of willows planted along the miles between the mission and the pueblo of San Jose is today a well-traveled San Jose street known as The Alameda. Some initial mission walls exist and the bell tower holds the original bells sent from Spain. " 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, 95953, (408) 554-4023 Today's Mistake- Purchasing a slip in Italy was a misunderstanding A friend tried to shop in Italy and was hoping to purchase a slip. Instead, the people who she spoke to gave her underpants.  Don't use the word, “slip” in Italy or people will think you mean underpants. @rambling unicorn   Today's Travel Advice- stretch whenever possible     Connect with Dr Travelbest Drmarytravelbest.com Dr. Mary Travelbest Twitter Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram email: info@drmarytravelbest.com Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube  

Chris Brundrett, co-founder of William Chris Vineyards, is a force to be reckoned with in the Texas wine scene. His winery, its growth, and his vision for Texas wines are as big as the state itself.Check out our William Chris Vineyards at: http://www.WilliamChrisWines.comVisit our website at www.VitiCulturePodcast.com, and don’t forget to share with your friends via all major social media platforms @VitiCULTUREPodVisit Bellangelo Winery and Missick Cellars at www.Bellangelo.com and www.MissickCellars.com.Our show today was recorded in the gorgeous Wine Club tasting room at William Chris Vineyards, along the 290 Wine Trail in Texas Hill Country.  Chris Brundrett, co-founder of William Chris Vineyards, is ubiquitous in the Texas wine industry.  From his personal and political push to ensure wine labeled as Texas contains 100% Texas fruit, to his efforts to promote elevated service and wine education amongst industry members, to his charitable and philanthropic efforts to aid communities in Texas.  Chris seems to be everywhere at once.  He’s also done a great job presenting the many faces of Mourvèdre that are grown in Texas, via his numerous single vineyard and cuvee bottlings of the varietal.  He’s an affable man, who at the same time feels part evangelist, part farmer, part winemaker, and part CEO of one of Texas’ most recognizable wine brands.  More importantly, he seems to be the kind of person you just want to be friends with, the kind of person who would be happy to help if you needed something, and the kind of person you’d be happy to lend a hand to if he asked.  He’s the picture of the budding Texas wine scene, and I’m happy to share our conversation with you.With that said, the Texas wine industry is bursting with wonderful, big personalities.  From Sil over at Saint Tryphon, to Dr. Bob at Bending Branch.  And from the picpoul blanc at Lost Draw, to the Roussanne at Kuhlman - fascinating, and wonderful wines await you at the most unlikely of locations and visits.  And as a final word, there is a lot of good food to be had in Hill Country.  We loved Hill and Vine and Otto’s in Fredericksburg, I even grabbed a great panini at a roadside gas station that echoed the quality of Oakville Grocery, but the best combo of food, a relaxed and comfortable environment, a predominantly and not pretentiously dominant Texas wine list, and my favorite overall Hill Country restaurant, was 259 Brantley’s Bistro and Bar in downtown Boerne - spelled BOERNE.  Boerne isn’t a wine town, at least not yet, but this beautiful Hill Country, riverside village offered an array of wonderful regular menu options and original specials.  If you’ve visited and dined in the Finger Lakes, it was like a marriage between Ports, Kindred Fair, and Vonney’s roadside biker bar.  I enjoyed the wild hog schnitzel, the mussels were the best I’ve had outside of Belgium, and the service staff always donned a pleasant smile and ensured your glass was full.  The mussels were especially good with the Muscat Pet Nat by Saint Tryphon, and may have been one of the best Pet Nats I’ve ever had.  Life was good in this place.  This may be the end of this short series on Texas Hill Country, but it is not the end of my coverage of Texas wines.  I love this place - the people, the spirit, the service, and the sense that the best is yet to come.  As a cool climate winemaker, the alcohol levels in some of the wines do take a bit of getting used to. I’ve produced Cab Franc with alcohol levels ranging from 10.8 to 12.9, but generally simply seek balance and a representation of what the vintage represented. Then again, Texas not only has a longer growing season than the Finger Lakes, it has a lot more sun and a lot more heat. The balanced wines though, are really something - and when paired with local cuisine and a cool night by the Guadalupe River, are the stuff dreams are made of.  Chris Brundrett is another man who knows something about dreams - he knows a little something about making dreams come true.  So without further ado, here’s the show.

A U.S. district court decision on Monday allows the City of Santa Cruz to permanently close the Ross Camp come Friday. We zoom out and tell you about how the City of San Jose closed a homeless camp along the Guadalupe River last month. And we give you the success story of Lauren Dixon, a 24-year-old Santa Cruz resident who clawed her way out of homelessness last year. What can Santa Cruz learn from these stories?

In her #SeniorChapelTalk, Jia “Jenny” Qi spoke about her experience as an international boarding student, thrust into a new culture and feeling lonely, missing her family back home. Misunderstanding the lack of communication from her parents, she began to feel isolated. But when she returned home the next summer, she realized just how much her family missed her and loved her in return. “Now I realize no matter who you are and where you are, your family is your biggest support.” I am thankful for my family, she said, “because without their teachings, I would not have become the person who I am now.” In his #SeniorChapelTalk, Ben Hirsch shared a story about kayaking down the Guadalupe River with his friend, when they spotted a calf stuck on a ledge. Buzzards were already circling, waiting. Not able to ignore it, they set out to save the calf. In order to help it, they had to push it into the water and then hold up its head as it swam to shore. Much like the calf, sometimes in life, we don’t realize when we need help. Let others help you in times of trouble and always keep fighting.

I just completed a successful two-day Private Intensive here in ATX with a client. We floated down the Guadalupe River and even played a little Top Golf, but most importantly made some big improvements to their website. In today’s episode, I want to share a big win we got from those two days so you can replicate it at home. Problem:The client had seen a 10% drop in conversion rate over the last month. The last 9 months were rock solid consistent, so it was very strange. A 10% drop in CR cost them around $35K a month! Solution:We installed HotJar and activated the screen recording function. After running a Google Analytics for exit pages and watching screen recordings, we identified a bug preventing users from customizing the product they wanted. It was literally stopping people dead in their tracks! After identifying the bug, the devs fixed it in a few hours. Episode Highlights 2:43 How a drop in conversions may be the result of issues (a bug) on your site. 4:46 Why step one should always be to confirm your inventory and that you are not out of stock on key products 6:27 Once you've used HotJar to record your site user's journey, here's what you want to look for. 7:12 What you should look at first once you've defined your top exit pages. 11:24 How a screen recording coupled with a screen shot can help your dev team quickly correct site issues and get you back to converting. 14:15 Recap: The 3 steps you can take to making sure your site is converting the best it possibly can Links and Resources Hot Jar Brand Growth Experts Foxwell Digital

Hey guys, Billy Sticker here and we are in beautiful New Braunfels in the Texas Hill Country, and we have a great location. You can see the Guadalupe River and stuff behind us, but I don't know if you can hear the chainsaws in the background, also. One of the things I wanted to talk about today is recording videos. You always want to take advantage of situations like this. If you're out and about, record some videos that you can make some content with that are in different environments. Because, your number one objective when you're doing videos on Facebook is to capture their attention. Now, there's some changes going on with videos. For example, right now, in my newsfeed, videos are not playing automatically. Some people, they're still playing automatically. So, they're going through some changes. Regardless, you want to make sure the thumbnail is something different that's going to capture their attention if it's not. But, you want to change things up, even if you're just in your office. You don't want to have one spot in your office where you're always recording videos, because people get used to seeing something, and on a subconscious level, they think they've already seen it. So, you want to switch stuff up. It's not just about wearing a different shirt, it's about using props. Use the spine. Have a whiteboard where you're demonstrating something or maybe stand in front of a light box or going over some x-rays or something. Or, you can have a patient that you're using as an example. Dr. Alex Vidan did a really cool video here a couple years ago. He was standing in front of a light box that had an x-ray of an ankle on it, and he was talking about getting into spring and summertime, people starting to wear flip-flops. So, he had a flip-flop, and was talking about ... Or just sandals in general. It was a great piece of content. It captured people's attention, which is what you want to do. Always use props, different locations. You can be at restaurants and talk about how you can eat healthy when you're still eating out. There's all kinds of ideas. So, you want to use props, but whenever it comes to different content strategies, you want to think about what is it that I want my ideal patient to know? That right there can give you tons and tons of content just right there. Or, what are questions that you have patients asking all the time. Write done a list of those questions. Answer those questions. You can even do a series on the top five questions a new patient asks. Then, you can do a series on the top five questions I wish a new patient would ask. There's tons of ideas for content. Some of our doctors that do a lot of nutrition and stuff, I recommend looking at Dr. Josh Axe, at their Facebook videos. Now, I am not saying steal his content. I'm not saying that at all, but they have built a hundred million dollar business on-line producing great content. You can do to Dr. Josh Axe, or I think it's just Dr. Axe, to his Facebook page, and click on the videos. Go back six months, nine months, go back a year, and just look at the titles of his videos. You can take those titles, and come up with your own spin on those titles. You can get ideas just from the titles, and then come up with your own topics. Another really cool strategy for coming up with video content is, you know those Dummy books? The yellow and black, book for Dummies? If you can find a book on that on whatever subject it is you want to talk about, whether it's just health in general or wellness or exercise or nutrition. If you ever look in the beginning of those books, their table of contents are typically 20 to 30 pages long. It's incredible how detailed their table of contents are. You can take a section of their table of contents, just for structure ideas, write those down, and then you give some videos on that topic. I'm not saying read the books and steal their content, but just look at how the content, the framework they use. Anyway, I hope you guys found this video enlightening. We actually have a whole series of training videos that we do for our clients that goes into more detail on this and really cool tips and strategies on topic ideas. If you're a client of ours, it's located inside of the training, so make sure you go check that out. That's it. We will be recording more videos and more tips and stuff like this for you soon. Thanks!
