Welcome to the ninth bonus episode of the Confident Live Marketing Podcast, where we're celebrating the run-up to our 200th episode and 4th anniversary!In this bonus episode, I re-run the interview with two amazing guests: Michelle Levitt, Marketing and Creative Director of Heil Sound, a professional audio equipment manufacturer, and Izabela Russell, the CEO of Music Radio Creative, a company specializing in audio branding.We dive into the importance of audio branding and its role in reflecting your personality. We also discuss the technical aspects of microphones and how they can impact your voice's authenticity.Here are the key takeaways from our conversations:Audio branding: How you want to be perceived and how you want people to feel when they listen to your content. Consider the intro, outro, and elements in between, along with suitable music and voice artists.Reflecting your personality with Izabela Russell: Think about how your audio branding can reflect your personality. If you're quirky and fun, incorporate that into your branding. If you're more serious, choose music and voice elements that match that vibe.Energy and authenticity: The energy you project on camera should be a slightly heightened version of your true self. Be authentic, and don't be afraid to showcase your energy.Microphone frequency response with Michelle Levitt: The range of frequencies a microphone can capture. Look for a small rise in the 2-5 kHz range for better articulation on the human voice.Choosing the right microphone: The difference between microphones like the Heil PR 30 and PR 40 lies in their unique frequency responses. The PR 40 has more low-end and gives a warm, traditional broadcast sound, while the PR 30 has more mid-range presence.Authenticity in your voice: Choose a microphone that makes you sound like yourself. When people meet you in person, they should not be surprised by how your voice sounds compared to your podcast or live show.Please Subscribe! Don't miss an episode!

I dreamt of being a pilot as a child and grew up watching The A-Team and my favourite character was 'Howling Mad Murdock' played by Dwight Schultz. I was obsessed with aircraft so he was the one I wanted to be as his character could fly any plane or helicopter that he had to. Years later I saw him with Jamie Glazov and Anni Cyrus on 'The Glazov Gang' and was intrigued at his strong Conservative Christian stance while delivering common sense commentary. This is the first interview he has done for many years so it truly is an honour to have Dwight join Hearts of Oak on this audio only discussion. (he is the voice king) We talk about those early days treading the boards in the theatre and as a star in Hollywood, working on the biggest TV programme in the world and Dwight shares some stories of how his strong conservative stance got him into much hot water. He truly is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly demonic industry that opposes truth at every turn and mocks all who have a Christian Faith or Conservative Values. (*Peter takes to the skies regularly and has held a pilots licence for many years) A respected performer on Broadway, Dwight Schultz found everlasting fame by playing the certifiable "Howling Mad" Murdock on the action series "The A-Team" (1983-86). A living, breathing cartoon with a seemingly endless selection of voices and accents at his command, Murdock provided the air power for the A-Team's clandestine adventures, provided that his compatriots could break him out of the mental hospital where he resided. One of the show's most popular and memorable figures, Murdock ensured Schultz steady work on television and on the big screen playing Reginald Barclay in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" An accomplished voice actor, Dwight can be heard in numerous hit computer games and in countless animated shows.

TRANSCRIPT [0:22] Hello Hearts of Oak, and welcome to another interview coming up with Dwight Schultz, Howling Mad Murdock from the A-Team. He came in on a audio. Dwight hasn't done interviews for years. I was absolutely delighted to have him on when you talk to one of your childhood heroes who you grew up watching him in A-Team. And he was my favourite simply because he was a pilot. And I always wanted to grow up and that's what I wanted to grow up to be. But I'm talking to him about being a conservative, being a Christian in the industry, in Hollywood, in the movie industry. And actually we delve more deeply into his Christian faith, Roman Catholic background, and what it means for him to be a Christian in that industry where you're pulled every way and where your faith is ridiculed, mocked, and everything stands against that. So great conversation about some of his experiences and what it is to be a Christian and to be a conservative in the industry. We talk about his voiceovers, I mean his voice is legendary. Talk about that and why he stepped away from doing kind of in front of a camera in 2001, why that was, and all the voiceover and then I think 100 video games, his voice is in a whole other world, a whole other industry. So, I know you will enjoy listening to Dwight as much as I enjoyed speaking with him. [1:48] It is wonderful to have Dwight Schultz with us today. Dwight, thank you so much for joining us. [1:54] Oh, it's my pleasure, Peter, for my reintroduction to the world of podcasting, radio, television.   Well, this is something I've only been doing three years, So I know you have much more experience back in the day, but we'll get into some of that. And obviously I... Remember you fondly growing up. I think I was six when The A Team first came out, which is now 40 years ago. I'm sure I didn't want it when I was six. But your role obviously is as Howling Mad Murdock. So we can take just a little bit memory lane before we go into and talk about actually being a conservative in the industry and what that is like. But I mean, it ran for five seasons, 83 to think 87. Do you just want to let us know how you actually ended up in that role? Well, actually, it actually only went four seasons, real seasons, so it's not technically considered a success. That's true. I ended up in that role because I made a comedy tape at the Williamstown Theatre Festival around 1979, 1980. [3:18] Somewhere in there. And the comedy tape, and for two years, I didn't hear anything. And then suddenly I started getting calls from my agent to audition and to go to Los Angeles to audition. and it was because of this comedy tape. And I found out it had been making the rounds for two years and eventually Steve Cannell and Frank Lupo, his co-writer saw it and requested me to come. Joel Thurm, who was the vice president of NBC at the time, however, he had different ideas about this character. And anyway, I went in and they flew me out to Los Angeles. [4:03] And my wife was out here. She wasn't my wife at the time, but I had been dating her since 79. And she was out here living in Los Angeles, which was difficult. I mean, I was glad to come out here for any reason. And I had never. It was a joy, but I came in and I auditioned and it was a total flop. It was a bomb. I mean, you walk into a small room with 25 people, 30 people, and there was not a single laugh. There was nothing. There was no... And then they sent me out and they sent the director, Rod Holcomb, out with me to talk to me. I came back in, I did the same audition, And everybody was laughing and I had no idea why they were laughing now. And they weren't laughing before, unless someone said laugh when he comes back. You know, that's the way it was. It was just an astonishing thing. And they said, you got the part. [5:02] And then, uh, and this is the, really, this is the nub, right? So, uh, I, they shoot in Mexico and I went down to Mexico. And when we were down there, I was fired. I was fired. I was fired. Rod Holcomb came into my little room and he said, I'm afraid it's not going to work out. And I said, oh, what? He said, it's not Steven. It's not Frank. It's the would-be's at NBC. They just don't think you're quite right for it. And so they took me out of my little room and they put me in with a stuntman who I loved. I just loved him. I mean, it was incredible to work with these guys. And so there I was with the stuntmen for the rest of the shoot down in Mexico. And when we came back to the States, they were editing it and putting it together as we were shooting it, right? [5:58] I got a call from my agent said your dials were great. I said, what are you talking about? I had no idea what they were talking about. This is 82, right? This is 1980. I don't know what you're talking about. He said the dials, the dials, the testing. The audience loved you. You're the best dials that anybody had. So I was written back in. I was rehired before I was fired. And so you can't make this stuff up in life. You can't. So it just turns out that they had a different view of what this character should be like. And I had another view. And Stephen Cannell and Frank Lupo were in my camp. And so they had to write me back into the first five episodes, which they had kind of written me out of. And that's the way it started. And I was, [7:04] as anybody would be, you know, I got to work with some of the finest old actors [7:12] that I had grown up with in the 50s and 60s. And it was a thrill. The four years were a thrill. I mean, it was an absolute thrill. And I got along beautifully with everybody. And Stephen J. Cannell [7:24] was a conservative. I mean, I'm lucky. I'm fortunate there. I was fortunate because some of my other experiences were not so fortunate, working with people who knew I was a conservative and weren't going to have a conservative on their show. That was the way it started back then. But anyway, so it was four years of, we didn't really have a studio. We were working on locations and I got along famously with everybody. And it was a joy. It was four, believe me, it changed my life completely and totally. I never thought I would end up in Los Angeles and never leave. Well, what was I mean, it's intense, I guess, that you're living and breathing it. And most people, I have no idea what that's like. Most people go to a job and they go home, but you're there nonstop. What's that kind of intensity, especially for years with it's the same people? It's the same people. But listen, as an actor, I mean, I've been working I've been working professionally since nineteen sixty nine. This gig, it's over 50 years. Right. So I had, I have before the 18, I never knew what my next job was ever. I never knew what I was doing next. And after the 18, I never have known [8:50] what I'm going to do next. I've never had a consistent job other than those four years. And I thank God for them every night. I hoped it would go longer, but this was not the intention, nor the background of Stephen J Cannell. His shows were two years, three years. And then they name of every single writer that we had in the first year moved on to their own series. They all became producers. And this is not the way you have a successful series for an, actor, which is selfish, right? You want to go at least five years, seven years. But they all, you have to have somebody there who is consistently behind it, pushing it, making sure everything is the way it's supposed to be. But that was not the way it was. But I did everything that you can possibly imagine, I think, on that show. And as the 14-hour days, 15-hour day, I loved it because I knew that there was going to be an ending. I knew the day I started that there was going to be a last day. And so and I think that's the way life is, actually. [10:02] And so take advantage of what you have and enjoy it and hope for the best. But I savour it every minute and I look back very fondly. When you say it wasn't a success, I remember thinking this is the biggest thing ever. This is phenomenal. I watched it as a kid growing up. So it did seem to be the kind of TV show that you would watch. I mean, the only other one I remember at the same time was I think Knight Rider at the same time, but they were the shows to watch.   Yes, they were. But you see, we were on NBC, Grant Tinker and Brandon Tartikoff, and their moniker was quality programming. And Grant Tinker, and well, Tartikoff gave an interview for the New York Times, right? This is not an example of our quality program, right? Really, this is it. That's what he said. You know, their ideas was Hill Street Blues, which they had on. This was their idea of quality programming, not this schlock that's number one. [11:12] This is not it. And I sent Grant Tinker a telegram and George Peppard said, don't do it, pal. Don't do it. Don't do it, Peppard said to me. I sent it to him and I said, this is third rate executive ship. I said, we do the best work we can and we're number one, why are you doing this to us? And then he sent me a telegram back, which I have kept, saying, well, you're assuming that that was true, what you read. And I said, well, I checked with the writer, the journalist, quote unquote, who he said, he talked to you and this is what you said. And indeed he did. And this is a tag to all of this. He, after the show was over, it was cancelled, several years afterwards, I have received a phone call from his assistant saying [12:13] Brandon wants to talk to you. And I said, sure, I'll talk to him. And I met with him in this basement office, 20th Century Fox. And I walked in and there was nobody there but Brandon Tartikoff sitting at a table and he apologized to me. [12:31] His daughter had been in a very serious accident and it changed his life. It was one of these things. And he apologized to me. I'll never forget it. And this does not happen in show business. It does not happen. And I said, thank you. Thank you so much for that. I said, and then I went into my spiel about being an actor. And that I, you know, you do the best job you can, whether you're doing Shakespeare, whether you're doing a show, or whether you're doing The A-Team. You do the best job you can. It is the same job if you're good and you love your work. It doesn't matter. You do the best thing, the best you put. You're not walking through it. I said, that's what we were doing. And we happened to be number one. And why did you rain on the parade? You know, I asked him and he gave me some explanations as to the the exigencies at the top of a TV network. And I, so at any rate, that that that's the experience. That's the beginning and end of that experience, really.[13:43] And I carry with me.   How did you cope with that fame? And you were what, 30, 32, so you weren't young, young. But still, when you're thrust into that level of publicity, how did that affect you personally and how did you cope with that? Well, you know, I was fortunate that I was working since I had been working since 69. I spent 13 years in regional theatre. I spent years in New York, three Broadway plays. I had a lot of experience. [14:17] Really, they walk in the boards, doing all the grunt work, getting there. And I, fame was not a, I was known and all my interests in theatre were to be, this is a joke actually, but never the same actor twice. I mean, that's it. You didn't want to do the same thing. And here I was, and I forced the idea that this actor, this character would be different in each episode, which the vice president of NBC said, that's the way you comb your hair differently. You should be the same. We want you to be polite on this. And I said, no, no, no, no, no, I don't wanna do that. I wanna be different in every show. And so I maintained, I think, because of the work that I had had. When you do the classics, when you're in, and I don't mean this, when you have the great opportunity to play a Shakespearean role. [15:22] You understand something about talent, about what goes into writing, brilliant writing, and then schlock writing. I mean, you see it all. And when you've been given that opportunity, There's a humility that hits you. So fame was never something that I wanted. I wanted to be able to – and I've had this ability. I've been able to go to a department store or take my daughter to a mall and not be recognized, which is – I'm telling you, I have worked with – I mean, I worked with Paul Newman and Paul Newman was, it was not a, he, he told me he couldn't go anywhere. He was a prisoner of his fame. [16:12] George Peppard was a prisoner of his fame. I mean, the closest I think I've ever gotten was somebody said, your voice sounds familiar, do you know my brother? I'll say, no, I don't know your brother. Then every once in a while, somebody recognizes you, but it's a curse. [16:33] It is a curse, really. If you have a family, if you want a family life, if you want privacy, which I think is necessary for survival in this business. I mean, I've seen a lot of actors drop to their knees and open cardboard tubes and pull drugs out. You know, and that's fame. And you ask them, that's it, it's driven. You know, you gotta have that fame, you gotta have that fame, you gotta. And it's not what I wanted. I really am a repertory actor, that's it. I'm a repertory actor. I spent one year in Houston, at the Alley Theatre in Houston, and it was one of the greatest years I've ever had. And I never wanted to leave. And someone told me, that's why you have to leave. I would have stayed there. I could have stayed there. But my agents all told me, you have to leave. You can't stay here, or your career will be over. And I said, but I love this. And they said, you won't love it when it dries up there. You know, you have to go to a bigger, a bigger yard in essence. But I'm really a repertory actor. That's it. [17:47] Your last I think your last TV role was 2001. I will get into the voice side later, but your last 2001. Why did, why did it end there? Was a personal experience? Was it just choice? Oh, yeah. No, it was a really a personal experience. It was CIA. 2001 was... [18:17] I went in for wardrobe fitting, and we were at the Memorial Cemetery, Veterans Cemetery down in Wilshire Boulevard, and that's where it was being shot. And I walked in, and this is nothing, I won't mention the name, I shouldn't have even said what the show was. Just someone in the wardrobe room. We were talking about 9-11. We were talking about what had happened in New York. I had a lot of friends in New York, of course, obviously. And she said, I don't have any connection to that. I don't know why everybody – I just don't have any connection to it, you know? She still connects? And she rubbed it off, you know? And I said, I mean, life was – rules were at that point not easy to come by, actually. And I said I can't do this, you know, I can't work. This to me was a sign, a sign from God. I'm not joking. You look for these things. This was a sign that this was the wave of the future. There was going to be a lot of denial and there was going to be, and it's complicated. I mean, I'm not judging anybody. [19:43] But for me, I had an opportunity to move into another direction, and I decided to do the other direction because I could be anybody, anything in voiceover work. Video games were just becoming big at the time, and the whole business was very big. And voice work was something that, as an actor in the theatre, I always did. If I couldn't find the voice of the character, I couldn't find the character. And so that was it. I mean, the fates came together at that time. And I was doing radio at the time on a fairly regular basis with a friend named Don Ecker. And I just moved in that direction. [20:36] I mean, there were opportunities there, but I knew things had changed at that point. Yeah, well, we'll get into that. I want to pick on being a conservative in the, the movie and TV industry, and that seems to be opposites. We've seen more and more, and I think it probably gets worse. And you're Roman Catholic, you're conservative. And what has been your experiences having a faith and also having a conservative belief? How does that fit into the showbiz industry? What has it been like for you? Well, going back, if you look at, [21:23] if you look at the world that we're in today, the Judeo-Christian world, which is, and I have to say if I have one criticism of modern Christianity prior to today, and I mean going back, because there's a lot of things I could say about today, which we will, I'm sure. But one of the things which always struck me me was about Christians, was their antipathy for the Old Testament, the Torah. It is Judeo-Christianity, and if a Christian doesn't understand that the Old Testament is their testament, there's, a problem. And they don't, indeed. In Bible study, the number of times that I heard Christians say oh, that's not my God. I want to get out of this. I want to get to my God. Well, that's two gods. [22:24] I mean, there is the Trinity, which is three gods in one, right? I mean, we do have that mystery, but we are monotheistic. And Christ's Old Testament was his Old Testament. He was here to fulfil the Old Testament. This is what he said, that it is the Father. You're speaking of your father. This is Christ's father and the Torah, the law as it was laid down is your law. It went on to the New Testament. [22:58] You know, and Catholics, I mean, I was raised a Catholic, and when I found out that it wasn't, thou shalt not kill, but thou shalt not murder, you know, the wheels begin to turn, and you try to think as best you can about these things. But there was a disconnect between the Old Testament in the New Testament. But that has to do with my criticism of my own faith. In motion pictures in the film industry, it was under attack, as it is today. Christianity is—and Judeo-Christian ethic, the West, everything that has been built through the Judeo-Christian ethic is under attack and they want to destroy it. [23:55] And basically at the very front of that is the communist wagon, and it always has been. And you can go back to 1918 or whatever and read about it, and they tried every which way from Sunday to do it, and they always failed, and now they've found another way of doing it. And they have succeeded by going after our children when we didn't know they were going after our children. But as Christians, we're pretending that it wasn't important to be mothers and fathers and the nuclear family really wasn't that important. Well, then why were they trying to destroy it? And why has it been number one? [24:35] Because and I'm going to say something else here in a second, which I'm pointing to, there's a quote. This is the technique that they have used, and you didn't know it, but you felt it all along. You felt this, but you didn't know it. [24:57] A quote by, it's attributed to Oscar Wilde. And I think it is his, I don't think, I don't think, I think it is his quote. And it is pithy and accurate and brilliant and beyond belief descriptive of everything. Everything in the world is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power. And boy, when I read that, I said, is this, did he really say this? Is it? And it hit me from every direction. The entertainment business in every which way is about sex. Novels, books, television, commercials, life itself, clothes, it's all about sex. And it goes back to God's edict to humanity. [25:56] Go forth and multiply. This is the power of procreation, is sharing in the power of creation. That power was given to all of us. We don't know, I mean, people have talked about it, but you don't, we don't know where that came from, except from God. And it is something to, what do we do with these gifts? Do we throw them away? Or do we say these are precious? [26:30] And you see by the people that you meet, those who recognize the gift and those who don't recognize the gift. And you are asked not to recognize it on a daily basis. And as a child, if you think back to your childhood when sexual urges, whether you're—and of course, I can't tell you what a woman goes through, but I can only tell you what a kid goes through—boy, when you're going through puberty, the whistles and gongs are going off, and you're you're having dreams at night and you can't stop it. [27:03] Everything is at the wrong moment and you're not purposefully thinking about it, but it's a force to be reckoned with. And you understand it as you grow older that this force is to bring you to someone else, to love, to have a family and to create the next generation and then everything changes after that. If you can contemplate that greatness, that extraordinary thing, and realize that the world seems to want to distort it, well, you realize the powers that are set up against Judeo-Christianity. And who say, we don't want the Ten Commandments, we don't want that Old Testament rag, we want freedom, free, and of course I went through that in the 60s and 70s in school, and I saw it. I mean, I was part of it in that it bounced off of me at every moment. And being a Christian, you stay in it. [28:10] I stayed in my Christianity. This is another tale. When I got to school, to college, I mean, I had 12 years of Christian education, right? I wanted to be an actor and I went to Towson University, which had a great theatre program. And it was the first time that I was in a purely secular environment. The thing that killed me was that everybody hated their parents. Everybody hated their parents. I mean, nobody wanted to, nobody had a good thing, I loved my parents. And I used to say, I used to have a long bus ride home and I used to sit in the bus looking out the window saying, why do I love my parents and I can't find somebody who loves their parents? What is that? Well, I can't say that I answered the question, but the answer was in the destruction of the family. [29:10] It was in the destruction, and it had started then. Not my mother and father. And then here's the next aspect, and I think that this plays a very big part in all the trouble we're having today. I never wanted to do something that shamed my parents, that they would be ashamed of. I felt shame. I still do. I feel shame. It was given to me by my mother and my father. Now, none of us are perfect. I know my mother wasn't perfect, my father wasn't perfect. I'm not perfect, but I feel shame and shame is rare. Now, look, I was listening to your podcast [29:58] with Father Calvin Robinson. Right.   Goodness, you make me blush. No, no. And no, but he said something. He said he said something about drag queens in the sanctuary. [30:19] I mean, we're talking about there's no shame if you do that. Before, shortly after, I guess we communicated, I went to here in Los Angeles, I went to the Church of the Nazarene in Pasadena, and I saw two, I don't know if you know these individuals, Dennis Prager, do you know Dennis Prager? Dennis is a Jewish scholar. I've been following him since since 1982, when I came to Los Angeles. He had a program called Religion on the Line, one of the great minds and thinkers of all time. In fact, many times after listening to him, I would say to myself, I'm a Jew. That's what I am, I'm a Jew. [31:05] And then there's Eric Metaxas, who is a Christian writer, thinker, and these two were in a program, an evening called ask a Gentile, Ask a Jew. And it was a great evening, two hours of just two brilliant people talking about the state of religion. What was the final outcome, sad outcome of the evening? Metaxas and Prager both came to the conclusion that we, organized religion, has failed us. It has failed us. The churches and the synagogues have failed us. They have not stepped up to defend their own dogma, their own beliefs. And we are left flailing, individuals almost. And we are struggling to connect, which is what you and I are doing right now. [32:08] I was dumbfounded by that, but at the same time, that's what I'm thinking. That's what I've been thinking for quite some time. And all of these things, you know, we are under attack from every direction. And in your own mind, what do you do? Do you throw it away? Do you say, well maybe I'm thinking the wrong thing. No, no, no, that is not the case. Because when you think about why our children, [32:47] and if you've seen this now, why our children are being told that they don't know what their sex is, Metaxas brought this up in the evening that this is one of those key cardinal points. You can see. This is a perversion of reality, because you know what the truth is. If you have a Supreme Court justice, as we do in the United States, who says, I can't define a woman, and that children, 10 year old children, 11 and 12 year old children, secretly, don't tell your parents the hallmark of a lie. Keep it secret. Don't tell anybody. Don't even tell yourself. [33:26] You know the hallmark of concealment, consciousness of guilt, everything that you know is, they are trying to tell you you know nothing and everything you know is not to be believed, but they are to be believed. That children, there are not boys and girls, that men can give birth, that there are, you know, these things that we, it's incomprehensible what's going on and it's all to destroy right from wrong. Well, that's because it's kind of, I look at it a different way. One is the difficulty of living in a society where evil is slightly different, where it's a slippery slope and it may be difficult to distinguish what you believe with something that's slightly different. But we see such a chasm now between what is true, what is right, and the collapse and degradation of society. So in theory, that means it is easier to be a Christian because it's easy to be distinct, because what you face is the opposite of what you believe. And and that's why it's curious and interesting to see churches going down this line whenever there's, [34:38] there's no question of what we see is the opposite of what is written in scripture. Oh, there's no question. You know what you're saying? You can be crushed. You know, you can be crushed at the same time. You have to deny so many things to accept what's going on. And yet you say to yourself, how do I stop it? The war that's going on in Europe at this moment. And this is why I love Bannon. I mean, I just, I adore him. I never got to, I would not, and I'll say this, Andrew Breitbart brought me out of the closet politically, really politically. I was doing a lot of things, but saying a lot of things that were in the basket, but he truly brought me out.   When was this? When was this? . This is a through also through Gary Sinise and friends of Abe. [35:48] Boy, this is this is in the, I have to say nine. I'd say 2000 to 2005, 2006. By 2008, yeah, I have to say around 2005, 2006. [36:09] I was like a Jew wandering in the desert alone and wondering where God was. And a friend of mine who I worked with on Fat Man and Little Boy, a film about making the atomic bomb, called me up, his wife was a casting director, and he said, you know there are conservatives just like yourself who get together on a regular basis. I said, no, I did not know that. He said, would you like to go to a meeting? I said, I would love to go to a meeting of other people. I went and it was Gary Sinise and Andrew Breitbart, and a lot of other extraordinary people who were all, and this is it, seeking, trying to make connections. And so Andrew said, you have to become public. He had big Hollywood and big, you know, all of, he had all of these big websites. And he asked me to write an article. [37:09] He heard me in private describe a situation that I was in, in which I was at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. I had just come back from working with Charlton Heston and I had a long discussion, which was just a wonderful discussion in the hallway at the Amundsen Theatre about Ronald Reagan becoming president, right? And this individual who was a big producer in Hollywood overheard me talking about Ronald Reagan, and he said, Oh, so you're a Reagan a-hole, you know? [37:58] And yeah, that's right. That's right. And I was, I got to tell you, I mean, this was a big guy at the theatre too, that I was working, and I went cold. I went cold. I said, yes. I said, you know, not as a, you know, and I pulled back. I was, you know, he was attacking me, obviously, with his language. And I was shocked. I was totally numbed. And I didn't want to continue with this discussion, because otherwise there would have been a blowout. But that was how in 78, 80, I understood that there was this chasm there. And [38:51] it only got worse as time went on. As I said, fortunate, it is not a zero-sum game. Fortunate there was for me, and I did have an audition for this producer. There was a writer there and a brilliant writer. We had a fallout, but he's just an extraordinary writer. His name is Tom Fontana. He wrote some very, it was St. Elsewhere, producer, writer for St. Elsewhere, The Wire, many wonderful programs. And he did not know about this problem that I had and invited me to read for a part called Fiscus in St. Elsewhere. And I walked in and there was this producer [39:37] who has passed away since now. And Breitbart wanted me to write about him. And I did, and I regretted it, but I don't regret it. But anyway, so I walked in and he was there and he said, oh, what are you doing here? And to this audition, and I said, I'm here to read for the part of Fiskars. He said, it's not gonna be a Reagan blank hole on my show. So you know what that audition was like, right? You know, I mean, and I walked out and I just, I said, God, is this going to be it? You know, is this the way it's gonna be? And at any rate, so, but I finally did write this article about him and I lost a lot of friends for writing it. And then at the same time, and I was one of the first actors for Breitbart to use my name. This was what he wanted because a lot of pseudonyms, writing for Big Hollywood, And which I understand, please, I did not do this, I did this [40:40] for personal reasons, but not because I'm brave or anything of that nature. I just was at the point where I was going to tell the truth. This is the way it's done. And you are excluded on a cocktail napkin. And that cocktail napkin is sent around to other producers and you're excluded. It is not a zero sum game because there was Stephen J Cannell and he hired me. [41:03] But the majority of people will not, unless, of course, you bring in 30 or 40 million dollars over a weekend. And then they'll hire you. But the attack on Judeo-Christianity, the attack on conservatism, which is a hallmark of Judeo-Christianity, is now at its height. It's never been greater than it is today. Well can I, you're obviously being a Christian, being a conservative within an industry within the workplace, but then you had your podcast, then you're doing, you mentioned Breitbart on the Glazov Gang, that's something different. You're stepping outside and actually you're much more public. I mean was that a conscious decision to actually begin to use radio, use the internet, use TV and speak of these issues as a Christian and conservative. Yes, absolutely. And the reason for that was I, you know, if you're, [42:13] make a point, like I would not, as Murdock from The A-Team, go out and evangelize. I wouldn't go out as Murdock from The A-Team, vote for. Right? [42:34] You're taking something that is not related and you're trying to use it to get somewhere. Where it's not as, to me, as honest as separating yourself out, creating a podcast, creating another world. This is where I talk politics. This is where I talk my personal life, my personal beliefs. This is where I do it. And so you come to me and then we go out from there. And I associate with people who talk about religion, and I associate with people who talk about politics, and I talk it there in that realm. [43:19] There's obviously a mixture. You can't divorce yourself from who you are and what you've done, and I don't. But I've never hidden my religion. I've never hidden my Christianity, as some people do. That's not the way to do it either. Yes, I am a Christian. I'm a Judeo-Christian. I believe in the Old Testament and the New Testament. And it's, for me, not a contradiction in terms. And so I express it that way. I express it here on my own podcast when I had it. And if ever anybody wanted to talk about it, I was willing to do it. And I attended every event, and with Jamie and [44:10] the lovely Anni Cyrus, that was just wonderful. That was absolutely wonderful. I went to a David Horowitz retreat, where I met Jamie. I had the great fortune, an opportunity to speak at a Freedom Concert event. Many of my public heroes were there from various political websites. And I got to meet them. And that's where I met Jamie. And he invited me on to engage with him on his program, the Glazov Gang. It's so funny. But, you know, and I met just so many fabulous people. And there are so many things right now, which I see things now and can talk about things that I couldn't prior to coming out with Andrew. And that, of course, is Bannon's big thing, Andrew. Andrew, I mean, he's – and Andrew changed – just brought the world together. I mean, his vision, his understanding of what was really going on was unique. And he was right into – he was dead on about everything. And I still don't agree with most of his friends. [45:38] I have very dark feelings about what happened to Andrew, even though I know he had a heart problem. But when the, I mean, you know what I'm talking about. I don't want to get into that aside, but I know the darkness that's out there and a voice like his had to be stopped. And they don't stop at anything. They don't. And we have now been witness to it in the United States for five or six years. Nothing stops them. Nothing. And they will lie to your face. They do not care because they are the voice of something that is dark. [46:20] That's not a knife you feel in your back. That's me scratching it. Oh, but I feel blood. No, that's not blood. You know, that's it. That's it. Can I finish off with your voice? Now, it is always wonderful to have a guest coming on and the sound is absolutely beautiful, crystal clear. You're coming through. Obviously, your voice is your how you make your your living now. And you've you've moved away from being kind of front of the camera to doing voice. Tell us what that is like, because it means you talked about fame and that means you're not recognized. It is your voice. And I remember watching, you were the one who, again, using your voice in all different ways, even back as in The A Team. But tell us about, how that works in the industry.   Well, in the industry, it doesn't. You have to be very fortunate. One of the first casting directors I ever met was Sylvia Gold, was her name. And she met with me, my first agent introduced me to her, and she said. [47:36] Oh, darling, she said, you don't understand. No one wants to hear that stuff. That's in the theatre. They want to hear you. They want to hear your voice. It's your voice that's important. And I said, no, it's not. I said, that's not what it's not. You know, I'm a vampire. I'm a thief. I listen to other people. I'm a mathematical idiot. And God gave me this ability to hear people's voices. And I said, I remember being seven years old. I was about seven years old, and I remember the first impression I ever did, which was, James Mason in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, he had a line, it was, I am dying now, and the Nautilus is dying with me, present as him. And I said this out loud to myself, I am dying now, and the Nautilus is dying with me. And the more I did it, the closer I got. And I would spend time, and I became an Anglophile, and I started listening to Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole, and I found that if I put headphones on, their voice came from the middle of my head, and I could steal from them. I could do impressions of their voice, and even if it wasn't perfect. [48:52] It became another voice, another character. And I began to identify with my relatives that way. I started doing impressions of my relatives and they did not like it. And I started doing impressions of my teachers at school and the kids liked it, but the teachers didn't like it if they heard it. And that's how it started. And I just had an ear for people's voices and dialects in the United States. And that's it. And in terms of, well, if I'm coming across crystal clear, That's because somebody recommended this microphone, the Heil PR-40, which is a dynamic microphone. Most people are wedded to very expensive condenser mics. But this is a rejection, it's a cardioid. People can open the door and come into the room and you won't hear it, you'll just hear me. Art Bell used this mic and he was always extolling the virtues of this mic, and I listened to him. And so, you know, and it's inexpensive, comparatively speaking, so it's available. [50:04] And so I, but I have spent years studying and recording people's voices and listening to them and trying to reproduce them. And one of the great thrills in my life was, I was, I knew somebody who was intimately involved with Laurence Olivier. [50:29] Peter Shaffer, and he wrote Amadeus, right? And he was just an absolutely spectacular man. And he gave me the play Amadeus to read before it was on Broadway and in Great Britain. And he was just a sweetheart of all sweethearts anyway. So I went into a bathroom and I did my impression of Olivier doing the Othello chamber scene. And I gave it to someone who was with Peter and asked them to listen to it to see if I caught any of it. And he said, this friend said, Shaffer listened to it and said, well, he said if Larry was very, very sick. But it was, you know, it was one of those, I, God, to have, you know, I, I, I think I listened, I don't know, I can't, I can't repeat anything that I've ever done myself, but I, I think I listened to the chamber scene from Othello, Olivier's Othello a thousand times. And that's how you learn when you're a young kid. That's how you learn. And you say, oh, my God, every comma. I followed it along, and he followed the text. [51:49] Amazingly, he followed the text and was dead on. And those are the kinds of things that I became very attuned to people's voices, and recorded them. And I have a lot of recordings and sometimes I still listen to Burton's Hamlet. And Gielgud, of course, directed it. [52:21] And it was considered a disaster on Broadway, but there's some great, there's just to capture, it is a miracle that I can sit here and listen to people who have passed away as if they're in my room. It is, it is a miracle, a technical miracle, but a miracle, or listening to the great choruses, motion picture choruses from 1958 and 60, and I listen to these grand voices, and I say, most of these people are not here now, But I'm listening to them and I get emotional about it. So anyway...   You've also embraced just finally about. I think I looked through and you've done the voice for like 100 video games. Well, yeah, I guess that's just if you're you're good at something, then that can be used across different, different industries. Oh, exactly. and video games are bigger than motion pictures now. And the hardest thing I was ever asked to do, and we were asked to do this periodically, you know, these great actors, right? [53:31] Sir Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, right? Those two individuals. Do impressions of both of them, to do them in the same thing. They were in X-Men, right? So I can't do them because they're so close. And you just do. You're asked to do it. They can't make it to do a pickup, right? So they ask an actor to come in and do a line, half a line. That's it. I can't do Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart at the same time. But I can't. I can't do it because they're too close. And yet they're different. But I have not been able to. I mean, you know, you in Ian McKellen with Bilbo Baggins, you know, he's called the essence. [54:19] Patrick is done it. Patrick is down there, too. But I can't do them together. I cannot do them together. I have to do them separately. And Patrick is he was a delight, by the way. Very liberal, very liberal. But one of the great things about Star Trek is my greatest experience that I've had in Hollywood, because there was little to no politics on that set, and everybody was a delight to work with. Everyone, absolutely everyone. And walking around on the great Paramount lot was a thrill. Anyway, sorry, I'm getting side-lined. I loved all those people. I did. I really did. Dwight, I so appreciate you coming on. It's absolutely wonderful to speak with you and hear about your experiences in the industry. So we really do appreciate your time today.   Well, it's my pleasure and I am very grateful. It's been a long time since I've done anything like this.   Oh, maybe it'll become more regular. Well, thank you, Peter.   Thank you so much, Dwight. Thank you.   Bye-bye.

In this episode, I'm going to share with you exactly how I pushed through the barriers in my business.

Regardless of what you may have heard, there's no set number of downloads you need before you can monetize your podcast. There's no set number of podcasts you have to have published before you monetize either. Today, I'm excited to share this case study of a podcast that we launched for my clients at the end of December, and it was monetized within 16 episodes. That means, literally they monetized in exactly 90 days from the date of their launch. I'll share how they did it, and what you can take away from their experience to propel you towards monetization.

In this episode, I'm going to talk about microphones and the things you want to consider before your purchase. I will also share with you some of my recommendations, either ones that I use myself, or ones that are very popular and recommended for people who are only looking to use their microphone for podcasting or spoken word. What You Will Learn In This Episode: - 4 factors your microphone choice depends on - How the environment makes a massive difference to how your audio sounds - How to set up a microphone for recording from your phone, a laptop or a desktop  - XLR microphones and my favorite companies that produce them - Knowing how a microphone works can help you get the most out of it - Should you use headphones, a pop shield or a foam cover? - Microphone models that are worth checking out Until you know whether podcasting is for you, starting off with equipment that is good enough is enough. But you need to have something fairly decent, and you might invest later on with expanding the quality and the expense that you put into your podcast.  Resources:  - Join The Podcast Membership http://www.thepodcastmembership.com  - Blue Yeti Microphone with stand: https://amzn.to/2IQsqN0 - UK Multimedia iRig Lavalier/Lapele/Clip-on Microphone https://amzn.to/2IMkOeu - Sontronics Podcast Pro Microphone https://amzn.to/3u6Q2ki  - Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone https://amzn.to/3MVYv2z  - Rode NT2A https://amzn.to/3MWD1Cx  - HEiL PR-40 https://amzn.to/3CN4vG2  - Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annaparkernaples/  - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnnaParkerNaplesCoach/  - LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/annaparkernaples   - Website:  https://annaparkernaples.co.uk/  - Listen to my podcast 'Entrepreneurs Get Visible' https://annaparkernaples.co.uk/podcast  - Find my Book  'Get Visible: How to Have More Impact, Influence and Income'  https://www.annaparkernaples.co.uk/book   - Find my Book 'Podcast with Impact: How to Launch Your Podcast Properly' https://annaparkernaples.co.uk/book-podcast-with-impact/   - Join our friendly Facebook Community http://www.facebook.com/groups/thepodcastcommunity 

Monetizing your podcast does not take 3 years. In fact, it doesn't even take 1 year. By the way, did you know that you can monetize any size audience? Today, I'm going to show you how to set your podcast up to earn money in the next 30 days. My 3 step formula for fast monetization is: 1) Figure out what your audience's biggest pain point is and create a high ticket offer to solve that problem. 2) Create a live event to teach them one thing they would need to know before they are ready for your high ticket offer. Use Eventbrite for the ticketing/landing page for your live event. 3) At the end of your live event, invite your audience to take the next step with you by inviting them to your high ticket offer. I'll tell you all about each of these steps in today's episode. Our next Podcast Profit Challenge starts soon!

No matter what stage the podcasters I work with are in, it always seems like we go back to one to get clear on this particular aspect of podcasting.

Today I'm talking about How Your Podcast Can Play a Bigger Role In Your Business and I really want you to understand why it is important for your podcast. Because it is important NOT to get stuck in "free content creation mode", you have to understand where your podcast really fits in and how to used it, otherwise you will end up wasting a lot of time. We are entering the age of business where every company needs to build their own media company. This media company can be used to generate leads for your business. When I talk about How Your Podcast Can Play a Bigger Role In Your Business here's what you really need to know: Your listeners need to know how they can hire you and do business with you. If you aren't mentioning your business and how you work with people on each show, it is a failure. Your podcast needs to be a priority because it is your main media outlet. Podcasting cannot be an afterthought for your business, and you can't just set it aside when life or business gets busy. Treat your podcast like a media company and it will pay dividends in the long run! Our next Podcast Profit Challenge starts soon!

We've recently moved house, and I'm so excited about being able to build my own studio. It's a fairly small room, but it's totally dedicated to my live video and podcasting. In this episode I'll share what I've done so far, and ideas for the future. You'll be able to get some inspiration for what you can do. I'm a big believer in bootstrapping your live video studio. To get started, you don't need expensive tech. When I first started broadcasting live over 6 years ago, all I had was a simple webcam and a Blue Yeti Microphone. Don't let the tech get in the way. But, if you want to level up your shows and make them even more professional, gear can definitely help. I'll be showing… Teleprompters Stream Decks My Friska Standing Desk Rodecaster Pro Elgato Multi Mounts Microphone setup (Heil PR-40, boom arm and shock mount) Ecamm Live and Restream Internet and networking set up And more!

GEORGE:  Alright, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the mind at George. It is free for all Friday, and I am picking everything bagel seeds out of my teeth today. And I'm excited because Travis is going to be talking and I'm going to be enjoying the flavor of this bagel for the next 45 minutes. And I have no idea why.But I went on a bagel kick this morning and I couldn't buy one. So I bought three. But today I am super, super excited, added to be joined by my guest who has an amazing bio. You can just Google it because it's phenomenal. And I would take the whole episode for me to read it, but it's somebody that I've actually known of an internet stock for probably four or five years. And it wasn't until our amazing mutual friend, Zach Benson introduced us. And so today I have Travis Chappell and the reason that I love Travis above everything else that he does besides the two podcasts. Amazing software working with the top entrepreneurs in the world is that Travis gets it. And when I say Travis gets it, he gets that people matter over everything else.And he has built his mission, helping people connect with people and not having them feel like you're a snake in the grass or kind of just in it for a deep transaction. And so that's the best intro I could give him. So Travis, welcome to the show.TRAVIS:  George what's up, man. Thanks so much for having me.GEORGE:  Do you have such a good podcasting voice? I can totally get it now. I love it. TRAVIS:  It's the mic. It's the mic setup.  GEORGE:   That's what I say. I was like, I'm still learning how to play with the audio tool so I can make myself, like, I want to be able to give myself a British accent, an Australian accent. And then like have that deep tone. Cause I feel like when you have one of those accents, you just sound 10 times smarter than everything else. TRAVIS:  True. It's actually psychologically proven. Yes. GEORGE:  I make this stuff up, but it's probably cause I heard it somewhere and that's how the neuroplasticity of my brain works. So one of the questions that I always love to start with, and I'm actually so interested to hear your response to this one.So the first question I ask is when you look back at your career and you've had quite a career. What was the biggest mistake or the biggest lesson that you've learned and what'd you take away from it and apply  nowTRAVIS:  I'd have to say that the biggest mistake that I've made is pushing things off and procrastinating. I ended up kind of be that type of a person in general, even like, you know, thinking back through school and in college and all that kind of stuff. It was just, I was always working best under pressure. You know, if the project's due tomorrow, I'm up the night before and I'll knock it out and I'll get an a, but I'm going to procrastinate till the very end. And so that's definitely something that I've had taken away from my entrepreneurial journey, because it bites you in the ass if you do it too much, you know what I'm saying? Like it no longer is a matter of,, well, it. You know that's one of those reasons. I think school is not a total proper preparation for what life is because there was no really there was no really con there was a real consequences to me waiting till the last minute to do a school project, except for that, you know, I'm up until 2:00 AM or whatever.That's really the only consequence which is that's not that big of a deal to you in college. You know what I mean? So like you can make it happen. You get an a, and you move on, but. The thing is in your entrepreneurial journey. If you sit on ideas too long, people will just start doing them.You know what I mean? Like didn't lose, you can lose time. You can lose a lot of money. You can lose influence, you can lose attention. There's so many things that that you lose by continuing to push things off and specifically the big thing I'm talking about is my podcast. Because man, if I would have just started it around the same time that I thought about starting oneI'd be a year ahead of where I am, which at three a week would be, you know, an additional 150 200 episodes, which would be an additional couple hundred thousand downloads, which would be an additional, a certain amount. of Followers and audience and attention and more money. And like everything would have been on a faster timeline if I started faster. And so I think there's a lot of people that just kind of sit around and wait for some magical day when everything's going to align. And it's just never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to happen.So you just gotta decide how important is it to you? That's really the big question. Like you shouldn't just get started with everything that you think about or else you'd be doing your thing. But how important is it to you? And if it is really important to you, then do it now. Like it started now, regardless of if it's a messy action, action at all is better than no action.GEORGE:  You know what, man, I so much, so much, there's probably like a stoic novel of entrepreneurial wisdom that just got pulled out of that answer. But the thing for me is like, you've talked about the podcast. It took me nine years. Like I wanted to launch my podcast in 2011. And, you know, what's not says I had a Heil, PR 40 microphones sitting in my room closet for eight and a half years, and I still don't use it, but at least I have a podcast now. But I literally, I've never used that microphone. And I kept it as a reminder of like, you know, when you do something like you've got to trust yourself and go all in, because I think about it and I'm glad I didn't like for all the right reasons. Like, I've learned a lot of lessons I'm in a different place now, but. It's actually really interesting because even now successful entrepreneur, when I launched this podcast a couple a couple months, we're doing amazing, but I had the same fears I had come up nine years ago. They didn't. They, you know, they didn't feel any different, they didn't taste any different, but I had a different set of tools in my toolbox and I was like, yeah, this doesn't matter, right.I actually was going to unpack it for you. So it's like, when I think about that, you know, as an entrepreneur, I think a lot, one of the times we sit here on the other side, we talk about like, Hey, you know, don't wait, don't wait, don't wait. And it wasn't like a brick in the face that hit me with that.It took years of learning. Like every time I missed because the consequences of waiting aren't immediate. There's like a very slow drip and fallout. And so how do you, like you said, when you talked about it, like, make sure it's important to you. Like, how do you vet, like what's important to you versus like, does this move the needle on the business? Is this for my personal tank? Like how do you go through that process? And then what's the first step that you do to do something. TRAVIS:   To me, it's the rocking chair test, which is something that Tony Robbins talks about a good amount and really resonates with me for whatever reason, but really quick, before I do that, I want to touch on something that you mentioned. You mentioned the Heil PR 40, and for those listening, that's like four or $500 microphone, a really nice microphone.  and when you're first starting out podcasting, you don't have to have something like that. And what I find to be a common denominator, George, between people who take action immediately and then actually stick with it versus people who go out and do something like that, where they like bought this microphone.I think the big difference there is you're taking action with the things that are the most fun parts of the task at hand. And I think that some, I think that if you're like, if you're going to take action, you should start it. Taking action on things that are going to move the needle, not necessarily the things that are emotionally most, you know, emotionally the coolest thingsabout the new venture that you're doing.You know what I mean? Like don't, don't, don't worry. Like if you're, if you just like, man, I just really want to buy this microphone, like, cause you know, and we all know that we're not logical creatures. We make decisions by emotion and we justify with logic. So it's like, you know, I really want this microphone, but I wouldn't really, it. So then you're, you're, you've decided that you want the microphone. This is now your logic is going to work and being like, well, but if I do this and I start this podcast, that's going to make money and then I can make money back on the microphone that about. And like you're finding all these reasons. So you go out and you buy the microphone, you're super excited about it. And then you like set it up or maybe you don't set it up. But but the point is saying is like, Don't just do the things that are fun about the new thing that you're trying, or the action that you're taking. Like do some of the things like, you know, buy the course before you buy the microphone and educate yourself, work on yourself internally, make yourself get up at 5:00 AM for the next seven days and work for one hour on your new thing.And then reward yourself with the fun stuff, reward yourself with that microphone records and episodes into your laptop. Audio, have it be a crappy as can be, but it's a, if I can do this for 30 days in a row, then in 30 days, I'm gonna go out and I'm going to get a microphone. I'm rewarding myself. I think that  plan of attack is going to keep you in the game a little bit longer and prevent you from spending money on a bunch of stuff that you never use.But anyway, back to the original question here, uh, so the rocking chair test, that's something that I use to decide if I should attack a new venture. As entrepreneurs, we all kind of have that shiny object syndrome and, you know, I'm 28. I've only been doing this entrepreneurship thing. Well, basically I've never had a job, so kind of it since forever since I was supporting myself at, you know, I got married when I was like 21. So since I was 21supporting myself. And in that time, period, I don't know how many things I've tried out. So many things that I've tried. And it's gotten a lot more clear over the years.  butI think that testing period was really important because it just helped me work through some different things and figure out, okay, well, I don't really want to be doing this.This isn't something that I'm like super great at. I don't really believe in this product that much. And it like brought me all the way up to this point. And now as I look at new ventures, it's really important to sit and take a second and say, how important is this to me to have accomplished at some point in my life. And I think that the rocking chair tells helps me do that. And so that's basically what it, is imagine yourself at 90 years old, 95 years old, sitting on a rocking chair on your front porch, looking back at your life and ask yourself if I do not do this thing. If I do not pursue this new venture or in this new direction, will I regret that at some point? And I think that not enough people ask themselves that question. And I think people are two are more afraid of failure or of regret where, to me, I'm way more afraid of having regret when I'm 90, then then failing a bunch until I get to 90, you know, knock on wood. But yeah, I think the, I think that that test is really is really a big thing for me.It was a huge thing when I started the software stuff, man, cause I mean, it was a big leap. We've spent a good amount of money in dev work to get this thing up and running, just to see if it's something that people even want. And that was a big, I'm not, I'm not a SAS founder. I'm not a software guy. I'm not a developer myself. It's it's a big risk to take on this brand new venture that I know little to, nothing about just because I thought I had a pretty good idea about it. When I sat there and asked myself that question, like if I look back in, you know, even if it's not, when I'm 90, let's say it's 60 or 70 or 50 or whatever.When I look back on this time in my life, will I regret not doing this? And the answer is just always overwhelmingly a yes, it was just like, I'm going to always look back at this moment. And , if none of my other dreams come true, especially if none of my other dreams come through, all the goals and the things that I'm working toward in life, if those things don't come true, I know, 100% for sure that I'm going to look back on this moment and be like, man, what if I just would have tried that software? That would have been the thing. You know what I mean? Like that, that would have been like, I could have, I could have sped up this timeline. I wouldn't have to go do this thing now when I'm 68, but I don't want to be doing like, you know what I mean? When I really look at those new ventures, new opportunities, I always ask myself. If I don't do this, will I regret it? And if so, how extreme, like how extreme will that regret be? You know what I mean? So, um, uh, that's, that's kinda how I vet out those new ideas. Sometimes.GEORGE:  That's good. I've, I've actually, I've heard it. I've never heard it explained like that. Well, it's a really, really simple concept and it's funny too, because you know, for those of you that don't know. So Travis has two podcasts, has been killing the game, entrepreneurship that working all this amazing thing. And then Travis is like, I think there's a better way for podcasters to do certain things. I'm going to launch a software, which is the opposite of like the shiny dopamine hit that you talked about with like buying the new microphone, right?You went the other way. Right. And I think, I think Travis, like you nailed it. Oh, it was for me. Right. It was the illusion that I wanted to do something, but I hadn't laid the foundation.Or built the container strong enough to hold myself accountable. Right. And so like for me now I know myself, right? Like I'm successful, but I also know my backdoor. So the moment I have an idea, I know if I'm going to do it, I have to post it publicly before I do anything or else I will find 8,000,064 different reasons just not do it. So I like I'll go live on Facebook podcasts, but Hey guys, just so you know, this is coming in like the next 30 days.And I have to like, put that accountability out to put in that work. Cause I think too. The undertow of what you said when you answered that question about the microphone  was gold and then the rocking chair test, and then the software that you're launching the venture too. I think one of the things that's underneath it, and you said it right without saying it is that. Success is not this big thing. It's the combination of these little things. Things that we do every single day. I mean, you're, you're going from everyone, like sees us off where program lash like, Oh, I'm so stoked. I'm so pissed. They're charging me so much money. I'm like, they've been working on that for four years. Like four years. You didn't know it existed.Paying for it, paying employees, devving it, you're buying it UX and all of it. And so. You've been working on this software, it's coming out actually soon. It might come out by the time this year podcast comes out. But when you think about that and thinking about what you talked about, like, okay, what are some of the lessons that you've learned in building the software? It's not your forte, it's not your expertise. It's your idea. And it's kind of putting into practice, the rocking chair, test, the shiny object syndrome being eliminated. Like how have you processed through that? And like, yeah, what's come up. What have you learned? Like, I'd love to hear some of that.TRAVIS:  And I know that you're going to love this answer because I know that's something we've talked about before. 100%, the most helpful thing during this entire process has been my network. Like without question on multiple, on multiple regards, that one of the biggest things that I've heard from SAS founders, and anytime I'm like trying a new venture, I kind of use it selfishly as I'm going throughout my, like, interviewing on my show.So you'll notice like, almost, almost like, um, industry leaning trends as I gain interest and other things, you know what I mean? Um, and so like you go through like a real estate investing thing and you talk to a bunch of real estate investors. And so I, you know, When I was starting the SAS stuff, I started talking to more SAS founders and things. And one of the biggest issues that I heard come up over and over again. And then I read through an, a software building book and took a couple online things about software. Andone of the  biggest thing, that I heard was just nightmares with development teams was like one of the biggest common denominators, one of the biggest common problems or issues for SAS founders.And I keep saying SAS, just to kind of define that in case you're wondering what that is. You're listening. It's a software as a service. And one of the biggest, one of those biggest problemsis that dev team issues? Well, I got super lucky, man, because I knew a guy who, reached out to me about starting a podcast for his software development company to get more clients in his software development company.And when we were talking, I told him about this software idea that I was kicking around in my head. And he was like, I think that's a tremendous idea. So usually this company, you would charge like $10,000 for a wire frame, which was enough to prevent me from figuring out what it would look like. Cause I, you know what I mean? Cause I knew that there were software dev shacks that would do something similar. And, but I was so focused on some other things that I was working on, but it wasn't a top priority for me to go out  and purposefully spend that amount of money just to see if I liked the product and want it to go get it built.Right. So, uh, he's a friend of mine that I've known for awhile. And after we decided to work on the podcast, we hopped on another call. He's like, we should just hop on a call and yeah. Work through what that might look like. So it helps call. We talked about it a bunch, and then a week later he shows me this wireframe that he did totally for free. And then I looked at the wireframe and I was like, I have to build this, that this has to exist. I think that it's going to be a knockout. I think that it's a good enough idea. I think that it has a lot of legs and you know, this guy's been in the software space for a long time. He agreed that obviously there was a external reason for him to agree that it had legs because he gets paid to do the dev work.But also he was a friend. So I actually trusted him. He wasn't just some random guy that found me online and wanted me todo his podcast for him. So that by itself was a good, like that connect by itself was amazing just to be able to have to work with a good dev shop that's, based in the U S and that does incredible will work and doesn't charge out the wazoo. For that incredible work. They do what they say they're going to do it. mostly has been on time. There's been a couple of delays, but that's just, that's like building a custom home and expecting it to be done on time too. It's just like, things just don't happen like that.There's always issues that come up that you're not sure that you're not sure, you know, that you couldn't have estimated from the beginning, but anyway, it's been mostly a positive experience. And and I've noticed that for sure, because other friends that I have that are doing similar dev work right. They've been working on it for months and months longer than we've been working on ours. And they are still months away from launching, whereas we're a couple of weeks away from launching. So just that one connection was good by itself, but now. Since then I've other questions about that kind of stuff, but I've never gone through like a fundraising round and all that kind of stuff.And it's still at this point, I haven't, but I was able to get on the phone with several entrepreneur friends that I now have, that I've built through the podcast, by the way, I was able to get on a phone with a bunch of them and ask them a ton of questions about like, Hey, Uh, what, what would you recommend on a seed round? Is that a click, a convertible or a safe orlike it, should there be some sort of options pool? Like what exactly do I do? How do I structure that? And then they a couple people, multiple people that made introductions to me to start up attorneys that would help me get my I legal docs set up all of, through introductions from people in my own network on relationships that I've worked on building for the last couple of years.And then a step further, bro. Even beyond all of the logistics and getting the company set up and, and learning some things , about raising capital and learning things about the, the a, the C Corp formation, because all I've ever done is like single member LLCs. That file is us corpse. And that, like, I see corp out of my world, you know, so asking all these questions, because it all these different things doing my own private, independent research, and then getting to the point where about a month ago started reaching out to people because we wanted to build up a list of guests that were going to be bookable on the site.So basically  it's a game and create a marketplace where if you have a YouTube channel or a podcast or a blog and you interview high level people for that, this is a way to connect with those people without going through months and months of trying to figure out where their media contact is and who the right person is and go through their gatekeeper and find an email and then schedule.And then in 17 email chain, it's basically go to their profile. Pay a thousand bucks or whatever their price is that they charge, book them on your show, have it scheduled in the County. I do the call. It's all taken care of within the site. And it's a pay-to-play marketplace so that you can for sure guarantee that you're going to get interviews. People you want to know. And so, when we were looking at the launch, we were like, okay, we can either go after the creators or we can go after the guests. We can't go after both because it would split our time and not be as effective. So I was like, let's go after the guests. Cause they're the ones with the audiences that will also have creators and they'll be able to bring in more users to the platform that way.We go out to  this list. And the first thing that I did is I is we went through all of the guests that have ever been on the build network. Yes. Which now at this point we're almost at 500 episodes. So we're coming up 300 something guests at this point. Cause some of them were solo shows and different combinations and things. So we reached out to that entire list. We have a list now almost 75 people. In the last two or three weekswhom have their own audiences. A lot of them are really well known, especially in the business and entrepreneurial space and especially in the consecration space, speaking space and all that, all those types of things, every single one of those people.Was, we're not cold pitches. They were warm, reached out it's to people that already had that I had already had a relationship with them. They've agreed to come onto the platformfor a couple of reasons. First of all, I think it's actually a useful platform. I think the software that we built actually has some really cool features. And if you're in this space or industry at all, I think that you would see that and it's all totally free because it's more of a platform as a service than it is a software as a service. Yeah. So our goal is basically just users. So, you know, it's a lot easier of a yes, but also the second reason that they're willing to say yes is because we have a PR like a preexisting relationship and there's a bunch of other people who have already said yes.So like literally bro, every single step along the way, there's a ton of uncertainty and there still is uncertainty. Obviously we haven't launched it. We still don't know how it's gonna work, work with people. Um, but I will say that, yeah, if I tried to do this two years ago, three years ago, Uh, I would be a million steps behind where I am right now. Just, just simply because of the relationships that are, that are, um, you know, existence in my life now. GEORGE: Cause nobody likes them or the people that get it.And one of the things that I think is so powerful, what you said is like, when you connected with this dev. There was a point where obviously he's incentivized because he'll be doing the dev work, but the quality of your relationship is what dictated his ability to go that deep invest that much capital and time into what it was offer based on the relationship that you had built and that wasn't transactionally, he reached out for help. You helped him. You did all of that thing. And what I think a lot of times, like I said, that we run up to, we, we teach relationships beat algorithms like, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, yeah. But the payoff, like reciprocity doesn't work tomorrow. Like reciprocity is a bank that comes out whenever it's needed to come up, but it could be a year from now two years from now. And you have no idea how far that ripple travels. And I think, you know, that's a Testament to it. So I think this is a perfect opportunity, by the way. What's the name of the, um, the software for everybody knows. TRAVIS:  Yeah, it's called guestio. So you can find it over @ www.guestio.comGEORGE:  So here's, what's funny. I'll tell you this story before it has name this question. So I want to Carole Baskin and on the podcast, right? Like from, from Tiger King, like bingo is going, going crazy. And I was like, everybody does the same thing.  They reach out to PR people and I wanted to talk to her about her marketing. Cause like, quite frankly, like she's a marketing genius, you know? The jury's out on anything else, but from a marketing perspective, servant's like, you're never going to get ahold of her. And I was like, she's on cameo. And that app cameo, if you guys don't know, you pay X amount of dollars and you get it, the celebrity to record your voice or shout out. And so I was like, what if I pay for a cameo to give her my contact information, tell her I'm going to spread the message of her service and give her my email. So I send this cameo. And I don't give her anything to record the message. She cancels the cameo because there's nothing to record. Sends me an email and said, Oh, that was super creative. Can't wait, connect. Here's my email and got her contact info without her, for like paying a dollar. And I was like, I made guestio 1.0, without them knowing. TRAVIS:  That's exactly right, bro. That's, that's exactly where the idea came from cheering for people on there. And I was like, man, I wish I could guarantee that they're going to say yes to an interview, but there's no way to guarantee that. And so, uh, so I was like, well, why don't I just build it? GEORGE:  I felt responsible for them adding the feature to text after, because I did that six times and I got ahold of all six people and all six of them personally emailed me and I never paid a dollar because they refund your money. If the request isn't funny, right. And then I was like, I have morals and ethics. And I was like, okay, I really feel bad. Like this works. I just can't go teach this. . Like, I'll just leave it for what it is. And then you come along. But like, when you think about it, right, like you talk about, you've been working on years on like building your network and building your network.Like, what are some of the big things that you focus on when you meet somebody when you're building your network? Like, how do you ensure that, that connection or that relationship as positive and doesn't feel slimy and snaky, like we're used to. TRAVIS:  So the one way that I sign of my, every single podcast that I do on both network is remember to leave every relationship better than you found it.And it's not a first heard from Gary V where he talks about basically he always strives to add 51% of the value in every relationship that he has. And when I read that, I was like, that just makes sense to me that is the way. That people should be treated. And it was a little bit different of an idea for me at the time, because I was used to doing door to door sales, which is  like the opposite of networking. You know what I mean? Like it is literally knocking on a door and then selling something within 10 minutes of meeting somebody, which is literally the opposite of what you're supposed to do when you're networking and building relationships. And when I went through that, I was like, man, this seems just like a way better way to get the job done.Like one way you'll always be working. The other way you can build wealth in a shorter period of time. Just not right now. You know what I mean? Like it's not going to be right now, but if you do a good enough job building relationships over the course of the next 10 years at 20 years, it's going to be way more impact full then if you're just focusing on the short term transactions, because if you do that, you're going to be focusing on that for the next.40 years, 50 years. Cause you're never going to get a break from that. You better be really freaking smart with your money, if that's the way that you're treating relationships. And so that's one of the big things  that I try to instill with people is just to remember, to leave evolution better than you found it. Even if you have nothing to benefit from our relationship. If you have nothing that can help you or profit you from a relationship, always try to offer some value, get used to doing favors for people as long as they don't, take out huge chunks of your day. And as long as they don't make you in-congruent or inconsistent with the way that you choose you to live your life.If you're a coach for instance, and people pay you. 10 grand for your coaching session. You know, you obviously don't want to just hop on a ton of free coaching calls with somebody because for the sake of like helping them, because that's obviously completely unfair for the people who were paying you a ton of money to get access to your time. So I think that's a little bit different, but what I am saying is like, if you can make a quick connection or if you can recommend a quick tool, or you can shout out a book to somebody or say, Hey, I read an article this morning, thought you might enjoy it, send it off to somebody or you're, you know, out and about something reminds you of somebody that, you know, shoot them a quick video. Why not just reengage those people always be trying to add a little bit of value to the lives of the people that are around you. And what it does mean is that it makes people conspire for your good yeah. And when you have a ton of people that are just hoping that you do well, you know what I mean? They're just there. They're hoping they're there, they're there wishing the best upon you. Um, that's just, you know, I, I know this is a woo woo or whatever, but that's just good energy. It's good energy to have, you know, when there's a bunch of people conspiring for your good and for your benefit in the world, just because like, you're just a helpful person that never seems to care about all the other things. That's such a really, that's just a really awesome thing to have. GEORGE:   I say I'm wooo wooo covered in tattoos. They come, I just don't look it right. Like the tattoos were like a good hiding spot for me for awhile.  So when I think about this, right. when you think about these relationships and you think about always improving upon this silence rider, adding a bit of new founder, Gary, like we we've seen it.And the truth , is that. It does work. And it's not even that, like it works to get something out of it. Like it's just about being a good human being and like, understanding that this is what's going to change the world. AndI, it took me a long time to realize that, remember, you know, when I was like in the beginning of entrepreneurship and I like made my first million, I went to a conference and keynoted, I was like backstage with all the other speakers.And I was like, Let me tell you about me. Let me tell you about me. Let me tell you about me. And I was like, ah, they never just texted me back ever. Like I wouldn't even get their number.  Like good lessons that we had to learn, you know, to play the game. But one things that I find really interesting and I love to hear how people do this. When you start building relationships with people like you're talking about, like when you plant a seed, you have to water it and water and water it. And if you want that vegetable, you have to tend to it. Sometimes you have to water it once a month. Sometimes you can just let that thing grow and it's a Lotus and it comes through mud.And other times you have to water it daily, but like, how do you look at nurturing relationships with people when you build them? Like you have a really big network of people. And so is there anything that you proactively do or do you kind of just build it reactively and keep it open? Like, Hey, hit me up anytime. Like how do you see that, that nurturing of the watering of that garden that you've built with your network? TRAVIS: That's honestly something that I'm trying to get a lot better at, to be honest with you, man, because I am not super great at re-engaging and remembering things like that. My my wife will be the first one to line up and tell you that. I just try to do more things like exactly what I was just saying when I'm out and about I'm thinking about something or something reminds me of somebody I'll shoot them a quick text, shoot them a quick video, just, Hey, thinking about you haven't talked to in awhile, whatever.I think that goes a long way with people, especially now. When you just kind of assume that people catch up with your stuff, because while I'm posting it all online, there's something called an algorithm that doesn't show your stuff that you post online to everybody that knows you. So, it's really good to get off of those platforms and just shoot a text or shooting or shoot something out that's a little bit more personalized, especially if you can do a video really quick stuff like that, I think that is really beneficial. The other thing that I think that I do pretty well is connecting other people to each other as a form of continuing to stay in touch with people. So anytime I come across somebody who I'm like, it triggers a memory in my mind of a conversation that I had with somebody else.And I think that these two might be able to have a conversation, but I just make an introduction. I ask both people always get a double opt in intro because you never know if people are trying to avoid each other. You don't want to, you know, I've been, I've been put into introductions like that with people where I'm like, ah, come on, man.I don't like, this is already a person that I've talked to and they're just trying to like, get something from me and I've already told them no. And now I'm in this awkward conversation that I have to back out of because you're a friend of mine and I don't want to like, make it seem like, you know what I mean?So I'll always get the double opt in intro, but make introductions as much as you can, man. Be the connector of people.  I made an introduction. I didn't even know if it was going to go anywhere.  I don't know if you know, Jordan Harbinger and, and interpreter.  Brandon's a host of bigger pockets and Jordan has the Jordan harbinger show, too.It shows in iTunes bigger pockets podcast, the largest real estate investing podcast out there. They get three, 4 million something downloads a month.  Jordan's show is 6 million downloads a month. And I made a connection to them like, like, uh, a while ago. I don't remember even how long ago it was, but I just asked both of them like, Hey, I think this would be a fruitful connection.You know, they're both really cool people. You both kind of are, are living kind of outside of the other onlinebusiness type people, like all the funnel, hackers, community, like you guys are like, definitely. Away from that community. I think that you have multiple things that you agree on that you touch,  multiple crossover touch points. and so I was just like, Hey, you mind if I make an intro? And both of them said, sure. You know, and it was kind of like, yeah, but I mean, I can't really do much because my show is a real estate podcast. And then Jordan was like, yeah, I can't really do much though, because you know, he's about real estate.We don't really talk about real estate on the show. And I was like, all right, no worries. But I mean, the thing is be cool. If you guys got to know each other, it turns out a few months later, Brandon and bigger pockets decide to bring on an another interview into their weekly schedule, just about mindset in general, instead of just real estate investing, because that's a huge part of any business is working on your mind and going through the personal development journey.And the first guest that Brandon had on that segment of the bigger pockets podcast was Jordan harbinger. And so it was really, it was a really cool opportunity. To be brought up in another conversation. Andand know that I was able to add value to both of them, as well as the entire or audience that listens to the conversation.When back when, like, I didn't really even know what would come of it and I wasn't trying to get anything out. Yeah. Out of it. It was just a way of just trying to add a little bit of value to people. And I think if you get in that habit, it's a really good habit to get into. So be it be a connector of manGEORGE:  you're yeah, you're really good at that. And, and I've learned, I've learned how to do this by doing it all wrong and then learning how to do a ride and paying attention to those around me.  By the way, like, I need to talk about this double opt in thing too. Like. It is the worst thing you can do. Cause like I'm really available, like really available and I'm like, I'll talk to anybody, but I'm always like, Hey, can you ask me first? I've had intros to people that I swore, like I should have had restraining orders againstI'm like, I'm getting punked. This is a joke. One of my friends, like how did they not? And I'm like, I respond like WTF. I'm like, Oh my God, I forgot. How could you forget? You know, like, I feel like you opened Pandora's box and the poison of the play comes out again. And I was like, here it comes.  Like I did something in the universe to warrant this happening again, and now I have to play with it.You know, one of the things it's something I think about a lot too Travis and a couple like friends of mine, I've learned all of it. Like, so obviously, you know, and I know Jordan, by the way, I love his show. By the way, if you guys haven't listened to Jordan Harbinger, go check them out. Um, uh, Jim Kwik, right?So Jim's a really good friend of mine, all about mindset. And I love when Jim teaches things like people like how to remember a hundred days, how to remember a hundred names. How do I remember a hundred names? But I think one of the secrets about being a connector or one of the secrets about being in good relationships is being an active. listener. And it's not the have to remember, like, one of the things that I do is I never try to remember everything. I try to remember something unique. Nobody else would pay attention to about somebody like what their favorite dog treat was, or like what their, you know, the name of theiryou know, kid's favorite movie was there like some random thing. That's so easy for me to remember because it's so random and it feels so important about them because everybody else tell me how much money you make. Tell me what your business is. Tell me how you can, you know, pull those levers. And so I combined like. The knowledge of like four of my friends. So Jim teaches the memory stuff and then Steve's another really good friend of mine.I love what Steve says. So like you and I get off a call, right. And by the way, I did this with you because I had to, the moment we got off the call, I remember what we talked about. I went in my calendar and I sent three reminders in the future. And I made one note about what we talked about. That was it.And so I made a note and I was like, Hey, follow up a Travis ride. I was like, I know he's in Vegas. You gotta let him know I'm going there. Like, I, I wrote down, it took me like two seconds and I just wrote it down and then it ended up working out perfectly I do on the podcast. So Steve's like always like always take a note and just set a reminder to follow up with people.And so what I did is I, I took this one step further and I've, I've never shared this, but every time I get on a call with somebody like coming to do work with, or I'm doing business with the moment I get off the call pre-write and schedule three emails in the future, schedule them all that day. And so one goes like a week later, like, Hey, just far, I'm super glad we connected another one, like a month later. And then like three months later and I make them really evergreen, like just a, Hey checking in on you like Dean Jackson, nine word style. And then Jesse, Itzler. Said this a long time ago. And one of Jessie's biggest hacks is like, we all know, like I just had a monk on the podcast and his favorite quote of mine was like, if you can't shit without your phone, you're not living.And  I loved it. Right. Like, it was like the best moment it's wisdom. And I was like, hearing him say it, like, you know, turned my heart and then made me feel guilty at the same time. And I was like, okay, cool. So now there's times I intentionally shit without my phone, but now the rest of it, Jessie's like, Do yourself a favor. We all have plenty of pockets. Are we get in the endless scroll of Instagram? I'm on YouTube or whatever. He's like stop. And yeah, he's like when about, you're about to go there, open your phone, open your phone to an app and send three video messages or three texts messages to anybody that you have just check in.And that's it. Yeah, I do that every day and the results are absolutely mind blowing.  I don't know, there was some little things that like have come up for me years of doing this. Cause like I used to overcomplicate it right out, send like handwritten cards and Burt and nobody cares. They just want to know that you're thinking about it, that you're in a relationship and it always tends to open up the universe.TRAVIS:  well, that's exactly right. It tends to open up the universe we needed to because you, a lot of people try to try to, you know, avoid digging their wells thirsty. And that is the opposite  of how to have good relationships. You know, it's like if somebody hits you up after like nine years, you've not, you haven't talked in a really long time.Your first inclination is like, okay, this person's either about to like talk to me about, you know, Jesus or talk to me about their new supplement that they sell with, you know, EMA or whatever company hasn't been shut down by the FTC. You know what I mean? Like there's, there's something, there's some reason that they're reaching out and they're usually right. It's usually like you get so many of those pitches of people , that are like, obviously just sent out. You know, a thousand messages to their entire 1000 Facebook friends that they have. And all of them say more or less the same exact thing cause they're trying this numbers game thing, it just doesn't work.You have to dig your well before you're thirsty. And like that is exactly, you don't know when you're going to need relationships in your life. You don't know. And the software is a really good example for me on that, because the first few years when I was doing my podcast, I didn't know exactly what I was doing. I just knew that I liked podcasting on. I wanted to build an audience around this whole idea of building relationships and using your network and creating an environment that makes you a better person and all that kind of stuff. And I didn't know when I was talking a lot of these guests want, when they're I was interviewing them that one day I was going to reach out to them about this new software that I'm launching.And I wanted to see if they'd be willing to come on board as one of the launch guests, don't worry. It's totally free. All that kind of stuff. I didn't know. I, that, that was not in my thought process at the time. It was just cultivating a relationship when I reached out to other people and made some connections here and there like that, those weren't because I was thinking, man, one of those.You know, when I launched that software  in a year, you know, it's going to be amazing because I'll be able to have all these people to call back on it. Like you didn't think about it. You just, if you continually add value without trying to expect something in return, then you're building up a bank of relationship capital, just like you're building up a bank of Actual capital. And if you go to, if you have a price problem, if you have an issue, you have an emergency come up and there's no money in your bank account, then you go negative in your bank or you have to put it on a credit card and then you're in debt. You know what I mean? And saying, it's the same thing with relationships.If you don't have enough relationship capital in that bank account, so to speak, then when, by the way, when you have that problem, come up. When you have that emergency where you're like, man, I need, I need some help. I need some support from the people in my life. Your account's overdrawn. Yeah. What do you do now?You know what I mean? That's when you start reaching out to all these people and asking for these favors, when you haven't talked to them in seven years and it's just like, wait, what, Oh, you have a kid now. No way. That's crazy. You know what I mean? You know? So, so you got, yeah, you got to dig your well before. You're thirsty. Cause I mean, that's the only way that it's ever beneficial is if you just keep. Adding value to people's lives without really ever expecting anything and understanding that that's really the only way that it's even going to benefit you anyway. Um, and another good example would be Jordan.I don't know if you know the story, but basically he was with art of charm. The, the show that he had for a decade, really bad business dealings, he exited the partnership. And had to literally like literally they were, they were getting two, 3 million downloads a month, something like  that entire, you know, email, his customer list.All these things that the company kept Jordan had started over from scratch had zero things. The only thing that he had in his corner was his network. Yep. And he started that show at the beginning of 2018. Now in 2020, he has completely eclipsed the heyday of art of charm, our terms down to like to lower downloads as they've ever been before. And Jordan's show is  higher than double than what are charms heyday was just because he did the work for us over a decade of just putting work into relationships, adding value to people, and then the day that he needed some help. The day were like everything that he was working on got totally screwed over and he had to start from scratch.He had people that he could call and say, Hey man. I mean, I need a favor,you know, I, I need something and, and all those people that he had supported throughout all the years were eager, chomping at the bit to help this guy out because he had been so helpful to so many throughout his career. So, it's just such a big lesson.If you go into it, trying to help people expecting that you're going to get something from it. It has the opposite effect on you, you know, instead of just going in and just being how you can help out. And, you know, Zig Ziglar said it best when he said, if you help enough people get what they want, you can have everything that you want. And so if you're not giving the results that you want in life, maybe start thinking about like really do a real analysis, a deep dive on what you're doing, what your daily tasks are. What's your monthlygoals are all those types of things and ask yourself like, how many people am I helping by doing this?And if the answer was me, then you're, that's probably why you're not getting enough results because you're not doing anything that's actually intrinsically helpful to other people. That's how the market. You know, pays you that your paycheck is directly correlated to how many people you're helping and how effectively you're helping them.GEORGE:   It actually says in my Facebook header that accompany success is directly correlated to the amount of value they add on people's lives. Like that's where their financial success comes from. And  I think it was like one of the, a personal development coach I had like 10 years ago.I was in that like my whole life is ending.I just got out of 12 years of combat, like right. And like legitimate feelings. But I always felt frozen and she's like the fastest path just to give away what you want to get. And like, like that thing still carries so much weight for me to this say like when I'm stuck and I don't know what to do, like just go give it away. Like go give away energy, go give away positivity, but it's always about service. And I don't think there's any way to lose that game. And, you know, you said something that I think is really, really, really, really important before we wrap the episode. Andthis was something that it took me a long time to learn, but like, they don't take their well to their thirsty and all of these things like with relationships, right?If you do a relationship bad at burns a bridge that you can't rebuild it. Right. But when you do a relationship, right, or at least neutral, you improve upon the silence. You keep that bridge. Like every time Manhattan builds a new bridge, they don't knock the other ones down. That's why there's 21 of them. And you always want to have those avenues to lean into it doesn't mean you're going to have to drive over it. Like if you're going to Manhattan every day, you can only drive in on one bridge and out on one bridge, but you have those options. And that's how I tend to like, think about relationships and it's so powerful, man.Like, I have so much validation right now. Like in my soul hearing you speak about this stuff, like, it just makes my heart happy. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this is like a fusion of dopamine I needed today. Like it was one of those mornings. And so no, I absolutely love it. So. Quick question. So and just so everybody knows the best place to find track that's cause you can find them anywhere. Just Google his name his podcast. Amazing. But his Instagram is that Travis Chappell? TRAVIS:  Yep. Yep. Yeah. Just first and last name first. GEORGE:  Yeah, I was going to say it's 2:00 PM. I was about to say that. Who else? So it's Travis Chappelle with two  and two L.but you know, for everybody listening, right? Like just to wrap the episode, you know, like if there was a piece of parting advice, something that they could focus on today, something that would help move the needle in their life based on anything, you know, that we talked about, like what would those parting words of wisdom be? Like, if, if it was your last message to my audience, what would it be?TRAVIS:  Yeah, sure, man. I would say one of the principles, overarching principles that's helped me in my life in general, in all things. It's not just my business, not just my network is,  taking radical responsibility.and I think that that's just a big principle in life that we're watching it unfold before us in our, the grand scheme of the politics in our country right now.And I'm not gonna talk about a bunch of politics or anything, but the reason that I bring that up is that it comes from the site. A lot of the issues that we have stems from this idea that other people are responsible for the things that happen in our lives, which is the opposite of the truth. And it's a losing game. If you truly believe that you are not responsible and other people are responsible, then everything's always out of your control. It means you have no ability to change things that are happening in your life and the things that are coming to you , at a later date in your life. And if that's the lot that you've accepted, then there's nowhere to go from here. And you may as well just do nothing and exist forever because like why even try if you can't change any of those things. And so it starts with taking radical responsibility and by the way, responsibility and faults are two different things because some people will be like, Oh, you know, well, what about my dad? You know, he died when, uh, you know, he died when I was 16 from cancer. And it's like, okay, well, that's not your fault. There's a big difference. But it was your responsibility to now deal with the problem and say, Hey, what do I need to do moving forward?Now that has to be come your responsibility and there's a , big difference between those two things. And I'm not trying to be insensitive here, but I am saying that once you start taking responsibility for everything that happens in your lifefor all of us, things that you have control over.Once you start taking responsibility for that, you're gonna start, you're gonna start just noticing that the world unfolds with risk with with opportunity, that opportunity abounds and that there's nothing that's preventing you from taking advantage of those opportunities except for you and your own belief that it's not possible. Take taking radical responsibility, man. And that would be the thing I would like to leave everybody with.GEORGE:  This is the podcast that I needed, but it is now. And that was so true for me. This was the one I wanted and it turned into one that I needed. And man, it's absolutely, it's an honor to have you on the show for everybody listening.Please go check out Travis, a Google on it, check them out on, Google him on Instagram. Check them on his brand. And Travis Chappele and then check out  www.guestio.com Especially if you're in the podcasting space creator space work with influencers are an influencer. Go check that platform out. Cause it's a pass. It's a platform as a service as Travis is going to corn. That one now. So man, thank you for being here and, it's always been a pleasure. So for anybody listening, remember that relationships always beat algorithms and I will see you guys in the next show.

105: Podcasting Equipment Welcome to the fifth episode of Podcasting for Authors. Today, we’ll actually be jumping in and talking about about the equipment. When I say “equipment,” it’s even broader to include: Microphones Headphones Audio mixers Digital recorders Software It doesn’t haven’t to be expensive I have heard of many people getting into podcasting and jump in, buying a ton of expensive equipment. While I can admire the desire to get “the best” right away, many times it’s not necessary. Hopefully, I can help give you a better understanding of what is available and what you might actually need. As we go through, I’ll mention several options at varying price points. But you can also count on the fact that I won’t recommend anything that I either haven’t used personally or have had good reviews from podcasters I thoroughly trust. Headphones I want to start with headphones because these can make or break your podcast if you are doing anything but a solo show. And headphones can be either over the ear, over the head, or even earbuds - just something to bring the sound straight to your ears. If you are doing a solo show, this may not be as critical, other than being able to monitor your volume levels. If you have other people and your all in the same room, headphones also may not be necessary. But, again, it can help you all monitor the volume levels and be able to hear what sound is making into the recording. If you are talking with guests remotely (Skype, Zencastr, or other online service), headphones are a must. If you don’t use headphones of some sort, the other person’s voice will get into your microphone and create an echo that is difficult or impossible to remove.   Microphones Microphones are probably the most popular piece of podcasting equipment for people to obsess over. And for good reason. It’s the microphone that lets you be able to get your voice recorded. There are basically two type of microphones - condenser microphones and dynamic microphones. From the Shure website: When it comes to microphones, you often hear debate over which type is better: dynamic or condenser. This comes down to two technical characteristics: output level and frequency response. Condenser microphones usually are more sensitive and provide a higher output level. A higher output level can be useful because the signal doesn’t need to be amplified as much by the mixer. Amplification adds hiss, and less-expensive mixers generate more of it. Condenser mics have better response to high frequencies than dynamic mics. This gives condensers a crisp, detailed sound; however, it can be a problem for podcasters who record at home. When you use a condenser mic, you risk picking up too much of the shhh sound from air vents or extra noises from the lips and tongue. Dynamic mics naturally mask these irritants just like a soft-focus filter on a camera hides blemishes. Generally, I and many other podcast consultants recommend dynamic microphones. This is due to the fact that most podcasters record from a room in their house and their rooms are usually not professionally sound-treated. Another reason for this is because of mic-technique - dynamic mics are a little more forgiving. Here are some of my recommendations for dynamic mics: Audio Technica ATR2100 USB - $65 Audio Technica AT2005 USB - $80 Samson Q2U - $60 Heil PR-40 - $325 Electrovoice RE320 - $295 Audio mixers and audio interfaces If you are doing a solo show you may not need an audio mixer. Usually a mixer is used to bring in multiple microphones or sound sources. Also, depending on the microphone you are using, you may not need a mixer or audio interface. Some microphones can plug directly into your computer, so there would be no need for another device. Basically, don’t worry about getting one unless you really need one. There are different sizes of mixers by companies like Behringer and Mackie. Some of these also have the option of connecting to your computer via USB. The Scarlett Focusrite audio interfaces are also really good if you have a microphone that doesn’t have a USB connection. Digital recorders A digital record is a device that allows you to record and then transfer the audio file to your computer either via a USB cable or an SD card. This is another piece that is optional. If you don’t use a digital recorder, you’ll need to be able to record into software on your computer. Zoom makes some really good digital recorders. I would recommend: Zoom H4N Pro Zoom H5 Zoom H6 Software There are several different pieces of software that you may consider using. For recording Skype Zencastr Audacity Audition Hindenburg Journalist For editing Audacity Audition Hindenburg Journalist Reaper For ID3 tags   Closing: In the next episode, we’ll start getting into the nitty-gritty of actually planning your podcast - from a show level, but especially on an episode level.

If your audio is great people can forgive medicore video, but if it sounds bad people will turn it off. This episode we are talking with mic and preamp reviewer Curtis Judd (http://learnlightandsound.com) and podcast producer Ray Ortega (https://rayortega.com) the simple secrets to audio production for some common situations. This podcast is brought to you by Epidemic Sound (http://share.epidemicsound.com/stalmanpodcast), where creators can easily license sound effects and music for all your creative projects Audio for social media The priority for quick social media videos like Instagram stories is to keep it simple and sounding great. When you turn on the selfie camera, you‘re off to a great start because the mic is only an arm's length from you face and most phones have decent mics these days. Just be extra careful not make the biggest rookie mistake of covering the mic with your pinkie finger. Stay aware of which direction the mic is facing since phones have mics on the front, back and bottom. If you are pointing it away from you, your voice will get a lot quieter. If this is a situation, you often find yourself in, there are external mics that can help with that. Portable mics for phones Rode Video Me (https://amzn.to/2VWliRg) Shure MV88 (https://amzn.to/2FKCWBU) Audio for Vloging Similiar to a phone selfie, the vlog format has the instant advtage of mic proximity. As long as you've plugged in a half decent mic, set the levels, and put on appropriate wind protection, it's easy to get great audio. With this format, background noise isn't a huge problem since it blends in with the overall context of the story you‘re telling. What matters most is that you can be heard clearly. Mics for vlogging Rode Video Micro (https://amzn.to/2Ta81mc) Rode VideoMic Pro+ (https://amzn.to/2W1BTTU) Deity V-Mic D3 Pro (https://amzn.to/2W1QdLY) Audio in a YouTuber Studio If people are going to be watching your videos on TV, laptops or with headphones you owe it to them to keep the audio as clean as possible. When they are focused on you‘re talking head, details like echo and background noise start to matter more. So after you've taken the first steps of turning off the AC and unplugging the fridge (TIP: put your keys inside as a way to remember to plug it back in), it's time to treat the room for reverb. In real life, reverb is easy to ignore. Put a decent mic in a room and every echo is a distraction.  There are a few simple and affordable solutions, best of all is to drape sound blankets in front of any hard reflective surfaces. This will make the single biggest difference, ever more than you‘re choice in microphone. And speaking of microphones the gold standard is Sennheiser MKH416 (https://amzn.to/2FL0F56), which now used by top YouTubers like MKBHD and Johnathan Morrison, but if $1,000 is out of your budget the Deity S-Mic 2 (https://amzn.to/2CuBgsY) is incredibly similar for a fraction of the price. A favorite of Ray and Curtis is the AudioTechnica AT4053B (https://amzn.to/2CudEov). Once you've picked out your mic, choose a field recorder and plug it in. For the budget minded, the Tascam DR-60DII (https://amzn.to/2DjGZUe) is a great choice or if you want to go straight for the best pick up the SoundDevices MixPre-3 (https://amzn.to/2VYap1v). And make sure you get some good Sound Blankets (https://www.vocalboothtogo.com/shop-soundproofing-curtains-mobile-vocal-booths-accessories/) YouTube Studio mics and premps Rode VideoMic Pro+ (https://amzn.to/2W1BTTU) SoundDevices MixPre-3 (https://amzn.to/2VYap1v) or MixPre-6 (https://amzn.to/2DmaZPn) Sennheiser MKH416 (https://amzn.to/2FL0F56) Rode NTG-1 (https://amzn.to/2sBqTPC) or NTG-2 (https://amzn.to/2SXOju8) Deity S-Mic 2 (https://amzn.to/2CuBgsY) Tascam DR-70D (https://amzn.to/2ATAtSt) Tascam DR-60DII (https://amzn.to/2DjGZUe) Zoom F4 (https://amzn.to/2sCzbH2) Zoom H6 (https://amzn.to/2W5vWWa) Zoom F8N (https://amzn.to/2szNEDq) AudioTechnica AT4053B (https://amzn.to/2CudEov) Podcasting & Voice Over All the rules of in studio videos apply, but your audience is listening a lot more closely so the pressure is on to make your audio production sound amazing. Ray Ortega (https://thepodcastersstudio.com/gear/) has a great writeup on all your gear needs, but the basics are that you want decent mic that rejects background sounds, a low noise preamp and an echo free room. Sounds blankets are your best friend here, so you might want to build a little fort, or at least make sure you've got some furniture and carpets in the room.  There are many great mics to choose from, for beginners the AudioTechnica ATR-2100 (https://amzn.to/2MjbJHN) sounds shockingly good for it's price and can be plugged in via USB or XLR. If you want to step up your game, Tyler likes the Heil PR-40 (https://amzn.to/2VZGzK5) while Ray uses the Shure SM7B (https://amzn.to/2sA3JZV).

The easiest way is to run your final mix trough the free software Auphonic (http://auphonic.com) or if you're using Adobe Audtion, use it's match loudness feature. If you have background noise to cleanup, the absolute best is iZotope RX (https://www.izotope.com/en/products/repair-and-edit/rx.html). Special Guests: Curtis Judd and Ray Ortega.

LIVESTREAM DEALS Ep8 (Heil Sound) Michelle Miller Levitt Discusses Heil's Microphones for Livestreaming and Podcasting Welcome to Episode 8 (Ep8) of the Livestream Deals podcast, I'm Ross Brand. Coming up, Michelle Miller Levitt of Heil Sound talks about how to select the right microphone for livestreaming and podcasting and explains some of the differences between Heil microphones. I had the opportunity to broadcast live from Podcast Movement using the Heil PR 40 microphone, which did a great job of cutting through the noise and making it easy for listeners to hear the conversation. Thanks to Heil for providing the mics, boom arms, shock mounts and headphones. I also met our guest Michelle Miller Levitt at the Heil booth, where I tested several different Heil microphones and came away quite impressed with how the PR 40, PR 35 and PR 30 worked with my voice. Michelle Miller Levitt has been with Heil Sound for 14 of the 15 years the company has been in the Pro Audio business. Michelle serves as Heil's Creative and Marketing Director. She's also a talented voice over artist. Her microphone of choice is the Heil PR 35, the same microphone used by Stevie Wonder! THE FOUNDER: BOB HEIL Heil Sound was founded by Bob Heil, who worked as a sound engineer with The Grateful Dead and The Who, developing unique touring sound systems for those bands. He is know for creating the modern template for rock music sound systems. Bob also invented the Heil Talk Box made famous in the 1970s by artists such as Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton.

Simply Sound Company SS1 PreAmp Review While I've never used any preamps like the Triton Audio Fethead Microphone Preamp or the Cloudlifter CL-1, I was really impressed with the amazing amount of boost to the sound. The large dose of extra gain can make help a budget microphone/preamp combination sound clean and more professional. Some microphones such as the Heil Pr-40 and the Sure SM7B are known for really low outputs. This creates a situation where you have to turn the gain up on your mixer or recording device. This can leave the door open for added hiss depending on your mixer or recording device. The Simply Sound SS1 is designed for dynamic microphones only. More Clean Gain Triton Audio Fethead provides 27 db of clean gain with a price for $89 Cloudlifter CL-1 provides 25 db of clean gain for $149 The Simply Sound SS1 - provide 27 db of gain for $99 The Simply Sound website shows the Fethead at a $149 price tag, but at BNH, I show a price of $89 My Opinion As I had said, never using any preamp (besides the one in my mixer, and I've also used the DBX 286,  and the Aphex 230) even without a preamp, I never thought I sounded bad. With that said, the concept makes sense. I know that when I turn the gain up on any mixer there comes a point where noise is introduced. Using the SS1, I basically turned my gain all the way down. The construction is super rugged and resembles the Cloudlifeter all-metal casing (but cooler looking in black) you're not going to break this. You do need some phantom power (so a typical route might be to plug your microphone into the SS1. Then plug the ss1 into your mixer. The mixer would need to have the Phantom Power Turned on. For my recording today I had my EV Re320 going into the SS1 and that went directly into the Zoom H5. It was an amazing amount of boost. How I did the test. I set my levels using the H5 recorded some audio, removed the SS1 from the chain, and plugged it back into my Zoom H5 without touching any knobs. Do you NEED this? As with all things podcasting, it depends. If you're happy with your audio, no. If you struggle to get enough signal into your recorder, or the sound has a fair amount of noise, then this is well worth the money. Check it out at simplysound.co Second Line Podcasting WordPress Theme I no longer recommend Appendipity themes. This is a theme I loved and have on most of my websites. The face of the company Joey Kissimmee was last seen online in late 2016, and they are no longer replying to any support emails that I send. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've done this. Semiologic was a cool theme until Thesis came out. Then they went from needing no knowledge of code to having to know a ton of code. I really like Appendipity themes as there was a lot of flexibility (and no need for knowledge of code). I love the Divi theme, but they come close to having too much flexibility and people can get overwhelmed because it does everything (and the learning curve can be a bit large). Divi is a well-managed theme, with a huge community and awesome support. You can join Elegant Themes (the creators of Divi) for $89 a year. I did the one time fee of $249 for lifetime access. In addition to their themes, they have some cool plugins. One thing I just discovered is when you purchase a Second Line Theme, you can only use it on one website. This puts it int the "Depends" situation. The good news there is a one time fee. On the Evanto market, it shows six months of support with extended support for $17.63 a year. If you have multiple sites (for me I have at least four) that can add up ($59 X 4 = $236). Second Line Theme Support So far Second Line support has been great answering all my questions. The theme I'm using (Dixie) is skewing my featured image. When I informed this of the problem, they told me exactly what to do if I wanted to edit some files. The means you're going to need to understand FTP, and not be afraid to edit some code (always make a backup of any files you are editing when it comes to theme code). I was surprised that the theme allowed a featured image to be skewed disproportional as I don't know ANY designer that would allow an image to be reshaped (and if you have any text on your image it makes it blurry). The Power Of Elementor While the Second Line theme makes it easy to set colors, headers, and the theme seems to make it possible to adjust everything (except a skewing featured image...) what I also found amazing was a free plugin that they recommend you use (and they have some built-in features for it ) called Elementor. This is an open source page builder (That looks a lot like, Divi). This will work with most themes, and its a super easy drag and drop page builder. The cool thing is you can use that plugin on any theme.  Always Consider Your Source I hear people that advise new podcasters and they try to sell people packages and strategies that work for them. The problem is they are not you. For example, as I have multiple websites, I might lean toward Divi over Second Line. If you had one website, then a like Dixie or Satchmo might be just the trick if you only have one website. It might be a better fit for you. What Is Up With Libsyn Stats? Libsyn rolled out new stats back on September 18th. Here are our blog posts that go over the stats changes: https://blog.libsyn.com/2017/09/18/stats-overhaul-iab-compliance-podcasts-stats-libsyn-company-announcement/ https://blog.libsyn.com/2017/09/18/libsyn-stats-overhaul-need-know/ NOTE:  Libsyn sent out an email to all Libsyn users on September 18th - if you did not see that email - you might want to check your spam folder.  It would have gone to the email registered to your Libsyn account. Rob Walch  also talked about it more on our latest episode of the Libsyn Podcast: http://thefeed.libsyn.com/105-stats-follow-up-and-apple-podcasts-feed-tags The conversation starts right after the promo at the 52 Minute mark.

Its membership is comprised of more than 650 leading media and technology companies that are responsible for selling, delivering, and optimizing digital advertising or marketing campaigns. They were up to deal the next hand and they stated that "downloads are wild" and everyone went "WHAT?" at the table and they didn't want downloads to be wild. For the industry to be able to move forward, the table had to come together and decide on what would constitute a download. Their answer can be seen in this report. They are currently working on a second version.  If you were going to "Sit at the table" you had to agree to the terms and they all did. Much like when the music industry went from Cassettes to CD's it was a pain. This meant we had to buy all of our favorite music again. But the audio was better. As a music listener, I had no choice but to buy a CD player. It's the way the industry went. Could Libsyn communicate better? I guess so, there is always room for improvement. It gets tough as no podcast company is going to peel back the curtain 100% as if they tell you how they do their stats, you open the door for people to game the system. I personally don't know the formula (I just help you "drive the car" as a Libsyn support person, I don't build it). This is similar to the guy who throws the chicken in the Fryer at KFC. He knows hows to cook the chicken but has no idea what the 11 herbs and spices are. The numbers are lower as the INDUSTRY (remember to poker table above) decided to move toward a number closer to the unique downloads This is an Industry-Wide Situation I did a test over the last few weeks, and I released an episode that had tracking from Libsyn, Podtrac, and Blubrry. In a recent episode of Podcast Ninja, Todd Cochrane explained how years ago Podtrac, Blubrry, and Libsyn came up with specs for an organization for the Association of Downloadable Media (it starts at the 11:44  mark ). So for years, Podtarac, Blubrry, and Libsyn were close in numbers. Fast forward to today and due to how apps are now consuming media it appears that the larger the file size, the greater your numbers were being inflated. So last week I sent out a file that I encoded at 320 kbps (DO NOT DO THIS) and here are my numbers after 24 hours. Libsyn: 1193 Podtrac: 991 Blubrry 1748 If you click into the episode on Blubrry you will see the number of 1247 unique downloads which is closer to the IAB standard that Libsyn and Blubrry are using. You Didn't Lose Your Audience I know it is quite a blow to your ego to have the total number of downloads decline, in some cases, people are losing large amounts of their audience. The truth is the same people that listened to your last episode are listening to your current episode. The way it is reported is different. In a way, it's like if we all told time in minutes. There were 1440 minutes in a day, and then everyone decided to tell time in hours and agreed there are 60 minutes in an hour. So now there are 24 hours in a day. That sounds like a lot less than 1440, but I didn't lose any time. I just changed the way I report it. Obviously, those who have CPM deals with advertisers are in a completely different situation. Remember that some of the people on the IAB technical board were from companies like Midroll, Adswizz and other advertising companies. It doesn't make it any better, but they should have an idea of why this is happening as they were they during the planning. Yes it Sucks As I said, any time your numbers go down, it hurts. Hang in there, they will go back up (if you look at the Edison research on podcast listenership on the graph there is one year where it shows the numbers went down - why? They changed the criteria). In the long run, the podcast industry will benefit from this move. It Will Get Better I was recently in the Libsyn headquarters in Pittsburgh PA, and I got a brief tour of the new stats. It looked very impressive as libsyn continues to bring you the best media hosting in the industry. Use the coupon code sopfree.

As it becomes more mature growth of the US podcasting industry is slowing, however in the rest of the world it's just beginning to take hold. Giorgio Minguzzi started his Italian digital marketing podcast nearly 2 years ago. While the equipment was easy to come by, except for his Heil PR-40, the expertise required to produce a great show wasn't. Especially in his native Italian Language. Giorgio spent nearly a month discovering the intricacies of the good old Mix-Minus. If only he had found Cliff Ravenscraft, his problems would have been solved. But Giorgio has learned the intricacies through the School of Hard Knocks approach and it's paying off. There's very little competition in the Italian Marketplace. He's already doing monthly 5 figures in downloads from his weekly show. Of course he's avidly consuming my book Viral Podcasting in his quest to become a profitable podcaster and just landed his first sponsor. Keep up the great work Giorgio!

There's loads of equipment choices out there for every budget. You can start with a cheap $20 headset and move on from there. We use a Heil PR-40 Microphone, the gold standard of podcasting, a Mackie PRO-FX8 Mixer, a Behringer Gate/Compressor/Limiter and some other things to give the best possible sound. Quality equipment and sound editing practices go hand and hand with high production values. As Cliff Ravenscraft says, "High production values won't get people to listen to your podcast, but it will get them to come back again and again." But there are many choices available to you to produce a quality podcast. You can use a USB microphone, many of which have excellent sound. You have to do what's right for you and your budget. Don't overproduce your show. It will wind up sounding fake and unnatural. Do the minimal edits required, a little bit of compression, a small amount of tweaking and let it go. I know a number of people who cut out every breath and every verbal stumble. That's a big mistake. You're not a rock star. You're not aiming for perfection, just excellence.

019: Basic Equipment Needed To Start A YouTube Channel In this week's episode, we talk all about the equipment needed to start a YouTube channel! Try TubeBuddy Today Here I have listed all of the links mentioned in today's podcast below: Microphone: Now let's talk audio, in order for viewers to even understand what you are saying you will need a decent microphone. I am going to list some options below from least expensive to most expensive. Logitech Clearchat Headset – $29.99 — This is a great beginners mic if you are on a very tight budget. This is a USB Mic Blue Snowflake Microphone – 39.95 — This is the microphone that I started with and it lasted  me over a year and had great quality. This is a USB mic. Samson CO1U – $79.95 — This is a great starter mic that has great sound and will have you sounding terrific at a very affordable price. This is a USB mic. Audio-Technica ATR2100USB – $59.95 — This is both a USB and XLR microphone. Heil PR-40 – $327.00 — This is the microphone that I currently use. For under $350.00 it gives you professional studio quality audio and really makes your videos stand out.  * Take note that if you purchase an XLR microphone that you also will need an Audio Interface. An audio interface is what you plug the microphone into, and then plug the Audio Interface into your computer via USB. I recommend the Scarlett 2i2 BUT any of them will work fine when you are just getting started.  Video: Depending on what type of videos you are going to be doing your video needs may vary some. If you are going to do Vlog style videos you are going to need a nice video camera. If you are going to be doing tutorials/screencasts like I do on my channel, you're going to need software that does that. Here is a list of cameras that I like below. Smart Phones – With technology continuing to improve on our phones, if you have to you can use your smartphone if it records in 1080P Sony HDR- CX220 – This is a handy camera from Sony that you can get for right at $150.00 and has 1080P recording for a small budget. Canon Ti3 – This is the DSLR camera that I use currently and for under $500.00 it provides a great quality professional looking video with great sound and video. Canon EOS 5D – If you are looking for a top of the line professional camera this is my choice. It shoots crisp amazing looking footage and constantly comes up on all of the top lists for video equipment. Screenflow – If you are recording your screen on a Mac this is the software that I would invest in. It has all of the bells and whistles and will have your screencasts looking professional and easy to understand.

Today I want to share what I do to put together an episode.  My example will be the the latest episode of the Logical Weight Loss Podcast. I also do a podcast microphone shootout with microphones in the $300 range (last week we did a shootout with microphones that are under $100) This Week's Sponsor: Emerald City Productions This week's show is sponsored by Emerald City Productions. Get your podcast edited and sounding great with this awesome special. Your first four episodes will be $15 each (after that they go to the regular price of $40). Check them out at www.emeraldcitypro.com/sop Because of My Podcast I Got A New Job: Super Joe Pardo Joe Pardo is the man behind the Dreamers Podcast, and also the organizer of Podcast MidAtlantic. Today Joe shares how his podcast got him invited to an event. At that event he got to meet some influencial people. Those people got to know Joe, and through his podcast they knew what his credentials were, and offered him a job. Find Joe at SuperJoePardo.com Being the Scenes Of Making a Podcast Episode So I had someone who was surprised at the amount of work that might go into a podcast. So this week as I prepared to publish an episode of the Logical Weight Loss Podcast, I took notes. There is one key point here. Length of time spent on and episode does NOT equal more downloads. You can spend all day working on content that doesn't connect with you audience. So here is what I did. First based on the ideas in the book [easyazon_link identifier="0849921902" locale="US" tag="sop2-20"]Secrets of Dynamic Communications: Prepare with Focus, Deliver with Clarity, Speak with Power[/easyazon_link] I came up with my main idea. Which is, "Based on mainstream media, it is easy to feel out of place if you are alone for the holidays. This along with the numerous activities of the holidays can lead to stress, and stress can lead to emotional eating."  That is where I started. Here is a little confession. Last year I was "Alone" for the holidays. It turned out it wasn't that bad. Different? Sure. Bad? Nope. I wanted to help anyone who might be feeling down for the holidays. So I set out for strategies and insights for those who are alone on the holidays. I started with Google. I looked through about 10 articles, and ended up reading five. I pulled from my own experiences. I looked into resources for people who really were in a bad place and then made sure they were legit. I then went down a rabbit hole, when I found iPrevail. A pretty cool website that offers live chat for those who need to talk, and for those who want to go deeper, the offer some online courses. Intrigued, I signed up and took one. Note: This wasn't needed to complete the episode, but I always go with the thought "If it interests me, it probably interests my audience." I then looked at the holidays, and tried to find things that might be entertaining. I injected some humor to stop the episode from being so dark. I found examples I thought people could relate to (overly gushy Jewelry commercials), decorating a Christmas Tree, and weird family members. All of these to point out that the holidays are not a world of splendor filled with Rainbows and Lollipops. I took some time to figure out what topics I wanted to hit first. In other words,  I tried to take the smattering of ideas and organize them into a stream of ideas that flowed nicely. I also through in a quick segment on an egg cooker I recently purchased. Finally I recorded it. My show notes were pretty done as I now make my show notes first to organize my thoughts. I recorded directly into my [easyazon_link identifier="B00KCXMBES" locale="US" tag="sop2-20"]Zoom H5 Four-Track Portable Recorder[/easyazon_link] , and then took that recording and put it into Hindenburg Journalist ,and added the intro and outro music along with some transition music. If you need music check out podcastingresources.com. I uploaded the file to Libsyn.com and copied and pasted the file into my Wordpress (as this is an old site, I'm still using the PowerPress plugin, if this was a new show I would use the Libsyn plugin). Use the coupon sopfree when signing up at Libsyn.com to get a free month (in addition to the current month) . Podcast Microphone Shootout $300 Range All prices are based on Amazon. Audio Techncia BP40 (Full Loaded $547) Microphone #1 Was [easyazon_link identifier="B00VXSVF6G" locale="US" tag="sop2-20"]Audio Technica BP40 Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Broadcast Microphone[/easyazon_link] is $349. The [easyazon_link identifier="B011VJOU8Q" locale="US" tag="sop2-20"]Audio-Technica AT8484 Shockmount for BP40[/easyazon_link] is an additional $99. I would recommend the Rode PSA1 Arm ($99) Heil PR40 ( Fully Loaded $495) Microphone #2 Was the [easyazon_link identifier="B000SOYOTQ" locale="US" tag="sop2-20"]Heil PR-40 Dynamic Studio Recording Microphone[/easyazon_link]. There is a nice bundle with a boom arm and shock mount [easyazon_link identifier="B00T6JBAUA" locale="US" tag="sop2-20"]Heil Sound PR 40 Dynamic Cardioid Studio Microphone Bundle with PRSM Shock Mount, PL2T Overhead Studio and Broadcast Boom Mount and Microphone Cable[/easyazon_link] for $479. You would still need a pop filter or Wind Screen I had set the volume the same for all microphones and found them all were about the same. You might want to pick up a Fet head to boost the signal of the PR40 Electrovoice RE320 ( fully Loaded $507) Microphone #3 is the [easyazon_link identifier="B00KCN83VI" locale="US" tag="sop2-20"]EV RE320 Variable-D Dynamic Vocal and Instrument Microphone[/easyazon_link] which costs $294. The [easyazon_link identifier="B003BQ2DKK" locale="US" tag="sop2-20"]Electro-Voice 309A Suspension Shockmount (for RE20 or RE27ND)[/easyazon_link] is $99. Here again you need a pop filter, or a Windscreen and a  Rode PSA1 boom arm. Why Did We Hear Microphone #3 Twice? (the RE320) because it has a bass roll off switch, and for me (my opinion) I thought that was the best of the tree. The first two (to my ear) sounded almost identical. I love the shock mount for the BP40 (it is specially made fpr the microphone and makes getting the mic in and out super easy. According to my kitchen food scale, the RE320 was the heaviest at 1.7 lbs, the BP40 was 1.66 lbs, and the PR40 was only 13.7 oz. Here again, there is no bad choice. I use the Eletrovoice RE320, and none of the other microphones moved me to lose this mic. In the end the difference between the three was minimal in my non "audio snob" ears. How Podcasting Helped My First TV Appearance I was interviewed on the Golden Opportunities show this week (it will air at 11:30 AM EST on Channel 3 in Cleveland on December 11). Here was the process: The goal was to explain podcasting to people over 55. I had a phone call with the show runner and we talked for 10 minutes. From that the show runner picked the parts that she liked, and explained the answers that I provided that fit their audience. I didn't have to memorize the answers (but I more or less did). The segment would be four questions. I practiced the night before, and I practiced the morning before. On the way up to Cleveland, I kept botching at least one answer. I wasn't blowing it, but it wasn't smooth. I came up with words that would trigger a response that would help me remember the answers. I had a feeling I might "mess up" a little bit. In the end I did slightly have a flub, but because of podcasting I caught it, clarified and continue. I didn't freak out. All those "Ask the Podcast Coach" live sessions on Saturday helped me keep my cool. Podcast Glossary "F" Feed A feed is a file that contains all the details of a podcast. The feed is often generated by your media host, or plugin, and is read by apps that then use that details to show the details on a screen (computer, phone, or tablet). FeedburnerFeed burner is tool from Google that can take an RSS feed and add additional items to the feed. You also get stats on how many people are subscribed. Feedburner is deemed by many experts to be out of date and a prime cause for many trouble tickets for podcasting hosting providers (it often stops updating your feed and has been shown to scramble the show description and the episode descriptions). While it was once recommended in 2006, most podcast consultants tell their customers to steer clear of this now outdated tool. FetHead Fethead is a microphone amplifier that delivers 22 DB of clean gain to your microphone. So if you are using a microphone that needs a “push” to be louder, then you might try plugging your microphone into the Fethead. FTP FTP stands for file transfer protocol. In a nutshell, there are two ways to upload files. Http stands for hypertext transfer protocol. Of those two ftp is faster. It requires a separate program to upload files.   Start Podcasting Today Go to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/start 30 Day Guarantee Step by Step Tutorials Priority Email Support Private Facebook Group Live Group Coaching Calls Go to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/start

When creating a YouTube channel one of the first things that you need to think about is your equipment. There are over 100 Hours of video uploaded to YouTube every MINUTE, and in order for you to stand out you will need some equipment that will help you do that. There are 3 different things that are CRUCIAL to have before uploading your first video. Microphone Video Camera Video Editing Software Special Mention One of the key things to a YouTube channel is community. There is nothing better to have when starting a YouTube channel than a website. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have some way of creating email lists and giving your audience another place outside of YouTube to find you. I have a tutorial here showing you how to easily setup a WordPress Website in a few simple steps. These 3 things can be purchased on a budget and will have you sounding and looking better than over 85% of the videos out there! Microphone: Now let’s talk audio, in order for viewers to even understand what you are saying you will need a decent microphone. I am going to list some options below from least expensive to most expensive. Logitech Clearchat Headset – $29.99 — This is a great beginners mic if you are on a very tight budget. This is a USB Mic Blue Snowflake Microphone – 39.95 — This is the microphone that I started with and it lasted  me over a year and had great quality. This is a USB mic. Samson CO1U – $79.95 — This is a great starter mic that has great sound and will have you sounding terrific at a very affordable price. This is a USB mic. Audio-Technica ATR2100USB – $59.95 — This is both a USB and XLR microphone. Heil PR-40 – $327.00 — This is the microphone that I currently use. For under $350.00 it gives you professional studio quality audio and really makes your videos stand out.  * Take note that if you purchase an XLR microphone that you also will need an Audio Interface. An audio interface is what you plug the microphone into, and then plug the Audio Interface into your computer via USB. I recommend the Scarlett 2i2 BUT any of them will work fine when you are just getting started.                 Video: Depending on what type of videos you are going to be doing your video needs may vary some. If you are going to do Vlog style videos you are going to need a nice video camera. If you are going to be doing tutorials/screencasts like I do on my channel, you’re going to need software that does that. Here is a list of cameras that I like below. Smart Phones – With technology continuing to improve on our phones, if you have to you can use your smartphone if it records in 1080P Sony HDR- CX220 – This is a handy camera from Sony that you can get for right at $150.00 and has 1080P recording for a small budget. Canon Ti3 – This is the DSLR camera that I use currently and for under $500.00 it provides a great quality professional looking video with great sound and video. Canon EOS 5D – If you are looking for a top of the line professional camera this is my choice. It shoots crisp amazing looking footage and constantly comes up on all of the top lists for video equipment. Screenflow – If you are recording your screen on a Mac this is the software that I would invest in. It has all of the bells and whistles and will have your screencasts looking professional and easy to understand. Software: For starting out video editing you can use iMovie for mac and Windows Movie Maker for Windows, BUT eventually, you are going to want to invest in some more professional grade software. My Recommendations: Adobe Creative Cloud – You can get Adobe’s suite of software for $29.99 a month through their Creative Cloud subscription service. Other great software resources: Pixelmator – Great Inexpensive Photo Editing Application Other Great Resources That I Use: AudioBlocks – This is a great site that I use for $99 a year you can have access to over 250,000 royalty-free songs and sound effects to use on your videos. I HIGHLY recommend this as it has saved me so much time and money. TubeBuddy – This is a great tool that gives you access to TONS of expanded YouTube features that make the whole process much easier.

Our first episode with our new mic, the Heil PR-40. Chris Howard joins us today to answer some listen questions. We also talk about Josh's new channel, Movie Trailer Trash!

This is a comparison between the Heil PR 40 and the Shure SM 58 S. The Heil is $300 and the Shure is $100. Is $200 more worth the sound of the Heil? You decide!

Young love, why you should never be the DJ at your own wedding and that time Jennie almost got arrested. So many bad decisions! MP3 Show Notes: Form: The 3fer: Three people, three stories, one theme and let’s see if they connect. Theme: I really put my foot in it (also known as I really stepped in it, because I really put my foot in it is NOT SOMETHING PEOPLE SAY.) The music: More great music this week from The Free Music Archive including “Oops i did it again (Britney Spears cover)” by Bacalao “Policeman” by The Yummy Fur and a really lovely song called “Young Girls” by Novi Split.  (make sure to read here about how he got that name!) Our opening and closing music is a selection from “Unlocked Door” used by permission of Alex Cook. Thank you Alex! If you want to hear the complete songs, check out Alex Cook’s bandcamp page and his website Stonebalancer Storytellers: Jennie Josephson, Brian Coleman, & Elizabeth Hunt Part One: Jennie Josephson “Cuffed” Part Two:  Brian Coleman “The Hand Holder” Part Three:  Cricket Hunt “The Soundtrack” Behind the story:  Oh my. I loved all three stories on this one, but technically this episode was technically tough!  Skype shows often have something or another wrong with them, usually related to “ducking” or the guest audio. I use Skype Call Recorder to tape those shows. If you, um, “ear-ball”  levels ahead of time, the guest audio usually sounds fine enough. This time though I thought I would be smart and tape my microphone audio on a separate app, so that I could take advantage of my great Heil PR-40.  Except I didn’t check the levels of my mic in Audio Hijack where I was recording. And so, as you can probably tell, my mic is horribly overmodulated. I would have used my record from Call Recorder but it had some fatal reoccurring crackle. So, two lessons here: 1) Get an engineer. Stat.  2) So far, not a single person has written to complain about it. Which means, in the end, the story is the only thing that matters. : ) Thanks to our brand new patrons for their support!

Welcome to WP-Tonic Episode 14. Today Jonathan and I are interviewing a 20 something Austrian who runs a business out of Bangkok, Thailand, but before we get into the show, I would like update you, the listeners, on what Jonathan and I are doing with our businesses. First,  to the surprise of many, we made it to episode 14 and we are  going strong producing podcasts together, getting better each and every episode! We are both building websites, improving techniques and developing new products.  Jonathan is working hard on his SaaS (Software as a Service) product Mail-Right and I am working on developing a process to help the new podcaster quickly integrate WordPress and new media so they can focus on podcasting.  At the first of the new year, Jonathan and I are starting a new WordPress Meetup Group  called WordPress and NewMedia for Reno Entrepreneurs and Businesses. The meetup will be oriented toward the small business owner and how they can better utilize WordPress and New Media into their businesses. It will  complement the current Reno WordPress Meetup Group which is oriented more at the technical side of WordPress, diving more into  PHP which is a server-side scripting language designed for web development and HTML or HyperText Markup Language. Guest David Hehenberger: Well this is the second of two interviews, you can find more about our guest on Episode 80 on Timelines of Success but now, let's  get to our show with, David Hehenberger. David is from Austria,  and he has been traveling the world for 4.5 years. He is currently in Bangkok, Thailand running his company, FatCat Apps, building amazing plugins with his team of coders. He is also co-host WPCAST.FM, a professional WordPress podcast. Now without further ado, let's get right into this episode of WP-Tonic with our guest David Hehenberger. Closing Technical Comments: Jonathan and I get asked often many questions about WordPress, New Media and Podcasting.  One of them is the type of microphone we use. In todays interview, I was using a Heil PR-40 with a pop filter and small mixer. This is one of the best setups you can have. The mixer, the pop filter and microphone cost just under $500 but a good substitute is the ART-2100 microphone which allows you to plug into your computer with a USB connections or go through a mixer. This dynamic microphone with a foam filter will do a great job and stop pops and outside noise. it cost less than $60. Jonathan was using a Blue Yeti microphone and a pop filter and he sounded very good. The cost is a little over $100. David was also using a Blue Yeti but without a pop filter. If you can listen closely, you can hear the a few pops. These pops are something hard to remove in post editing.  We were all connected on this episode with Skype, David was in Bangkok, Thailand, Jonathan in Carson City, Nevada and I was in Reno, Nevada. Again thank you for listening to WP-Tonic, We would appreciate it if you would go to iTunes and give us a review. The link is on the bottom and top of your show notes on this episode.   WP-Tonic is not only a WordPress maintenance and support service, but a twice weekly podcast about WordPress where we talk with some of the most successful people in WordPress development and online ma

Troubleshooting Your Podcast [2:00] Dave was having issues with a usb hub. When in doubt keep things simple. [spp-tweet "Get your podcast questions answered live every Saturday"] Skype Issues with a Heil PR-40[6:52] When dealing with a mac you need to adjust your sound preferences (its not in skype). Google hangouts provide the ability to adjust the volume of each presenter. Play with the Echo skype user (test account). Fluff at the Beginning Of Your Show [14:28] Dave is not anti-chit-chat, he is anti -irrelevant chit-chat Membership Sites vs Patreon [17:28] Some people hate membership sites Some people hate paypal Some people will ONLY use paypal Patreon has the ability to do a per episode, or a monthly setup. Memberships sites require you to keep on making new content (that's why I love digital access pass as their drip feature ROCKS) Don't build on rented property. You need to ask for the sale no matter where you go. Membership sites are not entirely set it and forget it Dave uses Rhino Suppport for his website.

On this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, we talked all about video creation and editing. I know a few of you instantly felt a little anxious when you read those words, because video is not usually at the top of anyone’s “favorite things to do” list - or at least that's the case for me! I’ve been creating videos ever since I started my online business, but it’s always been a tough thing for me. I don’t particularly like to see myself on video and let’s face it, video is a lot of work - from both the creation and editing sides. And yet video is very important for online marketers, which is why I invited my friend, Caleb Wojcik to be on the show. Caleb promised me that he would give some tips to make video easier, and he delivered on his promise! In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover: Caleb's progression from screencast videos to using multiple cameras The best type of video to start with How your audience determines how polished your videos need to be How to make videos using PowerPoint or Keynote How to make video editing faster and less painful The reason why 60% of the people that Caleb surveyed don't create video A trick for finding mistakes in the videos you create The benefits of editing backwards The sweet spot when it comes to video length Why you shouldn't put videos that people will pay to see on YouTube Where to host your videos And so much more! Key Takeaways If you're nervous about creating videos, screencasts are a great way to start. The best screen recording software is Screenflow for Mac and Camtasia for windows. It at all possible, when shooting video, sit facing a window. If natural light isn't available, position lighting directly in front of you, at a 30-45-degree angle. Light shining directly on you, you'll end up with a shadow from the camera on your face. When using your phone to shoot talking head videos, be sure to use a mic, such as Rode Smartlav to improve sound quality. DIY videos are fine, especially when they're not being used as part of a paid program. For paid programs, it's better to go pro if possible.

In this episode, I talk about being bitten by a weenie dog on Thanksgiving. I ordered a new microphone, a Heil PR 40, which I'm looking forward to. I start out with a book review of "The Gunslinger", the first book of "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King. Stylistically, it was different, because it was concisely written compared to some of his longer novels. The protagonist is modeled after Clint Eastwood, and knowing that I pictured Clint in my mind during the audiobook. The dialogue was similar to his spaghetti westerns. It was like fan fiction, which is when a writer uses character from another work. "Fifty Shades of Grey" was fan fiction of "Twilight". The beginning was the best writing of Stephen King's I've read. It was comparable to Hemingway, and I think the fan fiction angle allowed the author to lose himself. Just like a songwriter writing a ballad, the entire work should have a cohesive feel from start to finish. The hero is named Roland, and he is not described much. His motivations become clear through some interesting flashbacks. He comes from a line of gunslingers in a village where the young men get trained by teachers. Either they beat their teacher in the end to become a gunslinger, or they return to normal society. Roland uses a falcon to hunt dove and later to defeat his teacher. He is the youngest to ever do so. This all takes place in a parallel reality. Roland comes across a boy named Jake from modern day Manhattan. He was hit by a car there, which allowed him to be drawn into this other world by the Man in Black, the antagonist. "Hey Jude" is referenced a number of times. The gunslinger is trailing the Man in Black. They reach some mountains and Roland interacts with an oracle. Jake ends up disappearing or being killed. After that, the gunslinger and the Man in Black have a very wordy interaction that involves a discussion of the microcosm and the macrocosm. The Man in Black foretells Roland's fate through the reading of tarot cards. We are left in a place ready to start the next leg of the journey. I predict that the gunslinger will enter a modern day setting in the next book. The ending reminded me of Judas Priest's song, "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll". I used to ride around on a Huffy listening to the "Defenders of the Faith" album on a crappy cassette player strapped to my wrist. Next, I talk about the movie, "The Valley of the Dolls". I thought the movie was about medicated robotic housewives. I read about some of the symbolism on Wiki. The "dolls" refers to pills and the women in the novel who are played as mere toys in our cruel world. I think the book probably is better than the movie, which was a mess. The pills aren't focused on until the last fifteen minutes of the movie. There are three women in the movie. The first is a girl from New England who goes to New York and gets a job with an entertainment law firm. She is sent with a contract to the rehearsals for a Broadway show and there are a few musical numbers, which are terrible, including some night club acts that are terribly out of style. The people are "squares" and the movie is very simple. The first girl is given a role as the 'face' of a cosmetics line. The next girl is played by Patty Duke, who is doing her Miley Cyrus star turn in a shocking role. She is kicked out of the Broadway show and becomes a temperamental star. She gets addicted to dolls, but mainly she drinks a lot. The third girl is played by Sharon Tate, and she is a talentless wannabe actress. The movie uses tons of gay slang words to refer to her husband. There is a lot of male chauvinism, too. Her mom says that she is "just a body and nothing else". She ends up in a French film, if you know what I mean. Her husband becomes a drooling invalid in one day. The movie is scattershot. The invalid ends up in a ward with the Patty Duke character and she sees him. She sings a duet with him, which is ridiculous! He comes out of his stupor, then returns to it after the number. She cleans up and gets back into show biz, then goes nuts in the alleys of Broadway in a "Sunset Boulevard" type manner, to make a long story short. She also hits Haight Ashbury, which is ludicrous. Sharon Tate gets breast cancer and kills herself with the dolls. The first girl returns to New England to become an old maid. I have no idea what happened to Patty Duke's character. She probably went crazy. The whole thing was a trainwreck. There were terrible montages with old school camera tricks like split screen. I hope this episode didn't suck talking about this terrible movie. My website is www.PaperbackRocker.com. You can find the podcast archives there.
