In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette interviews Amadeu Arderiu, an industrial engineer from Barcelona and co-owner of Sirvelia. Company specializing in custom WordPress plugins. They discuss Amadeo's innovative project, Ploogins, an AI-driven search engine that enhances plugin discovery through natural language queries. Amadeu demonstrates how users can find both free and premium plugins by describing their needs conversationally. The episode also covers the project's potential to fill gaps in the current plugin ecosystem. Amadeu invites feedback to refine the tool further, aiming to benefit the WordPress community.Top TakeawaysPloogins Aims to Be a Comprehensive, AI-Powered Plugin Discovery Tool: Ploogins is designed to help users—especially WordPress newcomers—discover relevant plugins using natural language search, not just keyword matching. It fills a significant gap by indexing both free and premium plugins (like Gravity Forms and LearnDash), which are often missing from the official repository or difficult to find via general search.Submission and Visibility for Developers Are Central: Plugin developers can submit their premium plugins for free. The team is currently indexing submissions manually but plans to build a developer dashboard with search analytics and performance metrics. This could eventually evolve into semantic-based analytics, giving plugin creators deeper insights into how users find and interact with their plugins.Community Involvement and Feedback Are Critical: Amadeu emphasizes that they need real-world usage and feedback from both novice users and veteran developers to refine the tool. Michelle suggests the importance of finding and showcasing lesser-known or premium plugins, and both agree on the value of making plugin discovery more inclusive and efficient for the broader WordPress ecosystem.Mentioned in the Show:PlooginsWP SpeakersWordPress.orgSirvelia

Hey there, hero!Ever since we've been humans, from the very beginning of time, we've tried to make sense of the world around us.And among the hardest things to make sense of is the creative arts...and the choice to become a creative artist. The randomness alone is mind-boggling.If you try to make sense of it, you'll fail. Especially if you try logic.That works for other lines of work, but not ours.And I'd like to remind you, in this episode, that you need to give yourself grace. A non-logical hall pass.And I'd love to know how you personally get away with making sense of it all.How do you live with yourself pursuing this nonsensical business?

Hey there, hero!A bit of a rant this episode...about the choices we make in life, and then being upset about those choices.And creative types have enough harsh judgement being leveled at them by critics without adding to what some perceive to be a sense of entitlement.We are privileged to work in this business. No doubt.We're not privileged to yell about how hard this business is. We knew that going in.We signed up for a future that required we be adaptive to the things that might happen in the course of creating something awesome. Stuff happens. Things can get messy.For everyone on the project, not just you.Please...I urge you to take a moment before you start raising your fists to the heavens.Some of this chaos is exactly what you signed up for.Any of this sound familiar?

Hey there, hero!AI in general, and synthetic voice and image generators in particular have led to a lot of FUD in our industry.FUD? It's an acronym that means Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.We fear being replaced by AI-generated models that would lead not just to the loss of jobs, but the possible deletion of the human contribution to creative work.And yes, that's a possibility.So when you grabbed ChatGPT and had it re-write your bio for you, or you had Perplexity answer a question you had, or you had Bard come up with some HTML to help you get something handled on your website...how did that make you feel?(That last one happened to me, and it was a bit unsettling...just how well it worked.)Can technology be used for both good and evil in your book?

Hey there, hero!Is it possible that in addition to all of the other things you're concerned with when it comes to your performance career, that actually having a bit of success might be more daunting?More daunting than the possibility of...failure?Because then, the rules have to change.

Hey there, hero!Putting your creations out there for the world to see can feel like an act of bravery, and some people get ready for a bit of criticism.And they might be looking for a way to deal with that criticism.I say, be like Joe.Joseph Brodsky the writer/poet, that is.After a recent video I released was posted about creating my Narrate Your Own Book course, I got an odd response from a listener about how everything I teach...can be found, for free, on YouTube.How I reacted (or didn't react) to that was pure Joe. And I thought maybe it would be useful to you, too.How do you react to criticism of your work from friends, family, casting, unknown audience members, readers, editors etc? Is it painful or easy?

Hey there, hero!Far more often than not, the projects I create and undertake tend to "stick." Rarely do I shut something down before it has run its course.And most go on for a long, long time.In this episode, I take a look at the decision making and the grief (yep!) around the choice to end a project I love (which I recently did).Part of that includes how to do things gracefully and generously, both to myself and to anyone involved that might be affected by the de-commissioning.And part of that decision is dealing with the notion of failure.And part of that decision is how to take the time that's freed up and re-deploy it.How easy is it for you to say goodbye to something you've put work into?

Hey there, hero!We're all on a pursuit. A pursuit of the performance arts career we want: acting, VO, writing and more.And we often look to those who have "made it" for guidance.How did they get success? Great question.But I think a better question would be about how they handled rejection. That skill can be really useful, as rejection is inevitable and is far more common than success.So let's give a listen to how Stephen King, Maya Angelou, Jack Canfield, Harper Lee and a few other superstar writers felt about, and handled, rejection.How to you react when you don't hear back after an audition or submission?

Hey there, hero!As we look at things we need to get done, we get an idea WHEN we need to get those things done, what we need to prepare......and when we aren't ready yet to do anything just yet.And a simple shift in your activity timeline can be really effective.Your assumption as to when to do something might be just perfect.And it also might be an assumption that holds you back from getting things done, just because you've arranged things in an order that initially makes sense to you.You think, "I've got to do this...before I can do that."And that might just be...wrong. Take a moment to consider the possibility that you're more capable than you think and you don't need to wait.And of course, you can always change and rearrange you tasks to suit your situation.Do you give much thought to the order of things? What comes first, next and last? Could things be in better order?

Hey there, hero!Sometimes, words come together to describe things that you don't expect.In a recent session with a coaching peer, she declared:"Every thing is everything."I tried to process that, and she gave me some assistance.What she meant was that as creatives, every thing we learn as performers in ANY category of work helps to build everything we do as actors and voice talent in ALL categories.In other words, if you get better at something in one area, it's going to help you be better at that thing in all areas.Example: if you learn to control and influence your vocal volume on camera, you'll be better at that vocal work on stage, and in the voice booth.Another: if you learn to give yourself permission to be less forced and more casual with your lines in a commercial (because it serves the story), you'll be able to pull off that same move in an audiobook or a video game.(We build a whole course around this concept in VOHeroes Pro, called Mutual Muscles. It's powerful stuff.)After you watch this episode, would you agree? Have you found this to be true? Has it helped you be a better actor?

Hey there, hero!Do you get the number of auditions you want? On-camera, VO, whatever.You good?Or do you constantly pursue more? Is growing your audition stream an endless pursuit? The highest priority?I think everyone is different. And there's a trend in business that informs this. It's variously called "10X-ing," "adding zeroes," and "blowing things up."Whatevs.I don't personally want more auditions than I am getting now - I'm good with my current level. But some people would question why I'm not pushing like crazy to "10X my business."I'm good. I feel like I'm at just the right level. I don't need more.But that's me. What about you? Is the size of your [show] business a metric for your success? Your self-worth and self-image?

Hey there, hero!When you get ready to do something new, what wells up inside you emotionally?Is there fear? Being scared?Or is there electricity? Being excited?And how does that affect how you approach it?The two will likely co-exist in a sweet spot: instead of being so scared that I am immobilized, I'm...cautious.And instead of being so excited that I ignore taking reasonable steps and precautions to maximize success...I'm jacked and happy.And it feeds me from both directions.

Hey there, hero!I'm well aware of at least one thing: I talk too much.Believe me, it's a challenge I've faced all my life.And I actively want to listen better. Listen actively. Not just wait for others to stop talking so I can start.I look for non-verbal clues to remind myself to listen...rather than talk.And to listen is to be open to hearing what the other person is saying......meaning one has to be silent to be able to listen.And of all things, a kid's TV dinner from my childhood sprang to mind.Once you hear the connection, does it all make sense? Can you use this as a reminder? Or do you not need my level of mental crutch? And are you old enough to remember the Libby's commercial??

Hey there, hero!When things don't pan out for us, we want to know why. And sometimes, we simply tell ourselves stories...when we usually shouldn't.We want to have things make sense, and so if we don't know exactly why something happens, good or bad, we might make things up.Especially when we don't "get the gig."As humans, we want - no, NEED - to know why (so we can fix things, or at the very least, not repeat the defeat). And so, if we don't have actual facts as to why things went south, we might instead make things up. And if we do that enough, that made up stuff starts to sound an awful lot like fact.And it's not.And I give you an alternative for you that short circuits the potential for what you made up in your mind becoming as believable as a fact might be.What do you tell yourself when you don't book it? Is it supportive or constructive?

Hey there, hero!Ever get frustrated when you first start learning something and it's touch to get the hang of it? You know, you want to gain a skill and it's just not coming and you start to lose patience?How about when you're showing someone else how to do something and they just aren't grasping the fundamentals? Do you get a little annoyed?I see it happen in Facebook groups that "serve" our performer family, and it makes me sad.A little patience, some grace, a bit of remembering where we all were when we first started...that might be useful.How long is your fuse when learning and/or teaching?

Hey there, hero!Like most specialty pursuits, we performers have our own special language when it comes to auditioning and doing the work of actors and voice talent.And sometimes, people channel The Princess Bride's Inigo Montoya when it comes to some of that jargon: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."A good example is the audition request that is phrased like this: "Give me multiple takes."In this episode, I'll tell you what I think that means (and give you two hard and fast rules for doing multiple takes), but...does it mean the same to you?

Hey there, hero!We know as performers that the way things are handled in our business are sometimes very different from the way they are handled in more mainstream businesses.And that can be frustrating, especially when it comes to not getting the booking.We're not told why. We never know why. We won't ever know why.But that's a double edged sword, especially given this new twist to the traditional rejection letter that the Muggles get when they don't get the job.You might be very surprised what current HR practices have led corporate culture to "offer" to candidates who don't "get the booking."

Hey there, hero!It seems like almost everyone, at some point, gets the urge to become a performer.They look at the fame, the money, the autograph seekers and just how easy it is and those are just their first four incorrect assumptions.Maybe you made some of those. Some rules you thought were true. Some shortcuts you thought might work.And then, they, and you, were likely introduced to actual harsh reality. Ugh.Building a performer's practice is filled with mirrors and smoke and distortion fields, and once your assumptions are challenged, and you realize that there's a lot of hard work and some amount of luck involved in changing things up, you might need some serenity to accept that.And maybe, that you simply can't change what can't be changed, even though you thought it could.Have you experienced this?

In this episode of the Post Status Happiness Hour, host Michelle Frechette interviews Alex Sandiford about his affiliate plugin, Siren Affiliates. Alex explains how the plugin simplifies the management of affiliate, loyalty, and royalty programs by centralizing various incentive structures. He discusses the development journey, challenges faced, and future plans for the plugin, including potential integrations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of building relationships with affiliates and providing them with the necessary tools and support to succeed. The episode concludes with insights into the ethical and collaborative aspects of affiliate marketing.Top Takeaways:The Power of Affiliate Relationships: Alex emphasizes that successful affiliate programs are built on strong partnerships and personalized support. Providing affiliates with both the right tools and fair compensation can lead to mutually beneficial success. It's not just about the percentage they earn, but about helping them market effectively.Siren's Pricing Structure: Alex outlines Siren's pricing tiers as very affordable, with a focus on bringing in early adopters. The initial pricing is $59 for the first year, renewing at $79. This pricing will likely increase as the plugin stabilizes and grows.Challenges in Affiliate Marketing Perception: Alex is focused on shifting the negative stigma around affiliate marketing by showing that it can be honest, impactful, and built on genuine partnerships. He contrasts the negative view of affiliates with the popular trend of influencer marketing, highlighting their similarities.Platform Migration and Customization: Siren offers platform migration support for users switching from other affiliate plugins like Affiliate WP. This feature has proven popular, and Alex plans to streamline the migration process to make it more efficient, showing a focus on enhancing user experience and meeting customer needs.Future Development Plans: While Siren does not yet have built-in tools for providing affiliates with marketing resources like images and copy, this is on Alex's roadmap. He recognizes the importance of giving affiliates the resources they need to succeed, although existing tools like Google Drive and the block editor can partially solve this for now.Mentioned In The Show:LifterLMSUdemyPayPalStripeKadenceAffiliate WPWooCommerceEasy Digital DownloadsLearnDashNorth CommercePersonalized WPRestrict Content ProGoogle DrivePartnerShip PodcastWP WorldMarcus BurnetteWordCampUS

Hey there, hero!That moment before you launch into a pickup sets the scene for how that pickup goes.And it needs to match the original voice work in terms of tone, energy, emotion and volume.And if your feelings, your mouth, your face or anything else is affected by that frustration or anger, or somehow isn't keyed to the lovely and unique moment that the content occurs, that will change, sometimes drastically, how that pickup comes out.And that can lead to even more frustration, and less accuracy on your pickups.Just take a moment. Don't jump right in to your pickup. You've got all the time in the world, and that extra moment will save you many moments when doing your pickup work. Do you find this happening to you?

They argue that security knowledge should be accessible to everyone, not just experts.Security is for Everyone, Not Just Big Targets: Nathan explains that hackers don't only target large, high-profile websites; they also exploit smaller, less-secure sites for resources.

Hey there, hero!The United States Federal Trade Commission requires that businesses who show their clients achieving things that require engagement, study, dedication, hard work and a fair amount of luck, and whose other customers likely have varying results...they have to disclose something.It's along the lines of "YMMV." Your Mileage May Vary.Sometimes you see it in phrases like "Results not typical." It's certainly applicable here: at VOHeroes, we help you create a successful, satisfying and profitable VO career. But you have to do some of the work, and like in all performance, there are no guarantees.And the announcement Hopper Stone is going to make in this episode is not typical. In fact, in the world of VO, over 95% of talent will never be able to say what he's going to say.But he did it. I'll just let him make his announcement.

Hey there, hero!How we go about finding work is a fair bit different from the average Indeed.com job applicant.They will track their progress through the job search process in one way......and we are completely different.And for once, we have less work to do than they do.You might think you need to track your auditions and clip submissions...and you would be making work for yourself that's unnecessary.Do you "track" your submissions? Are you able to let them go?

Hey there, hero!We tend to hear the word "opportunity" and dress it up big time, expecting glitzy as opposed to basic work or work that prepares us for further opportunity.Opportunities show up in various heights and widths and various levels of glamour.Sometimes, they are awesome and legendary. But sometimes, they show up very calmly, ready to do some grunt work.And that grunt work is sometimes more spectacular than the glitzy stuff.And you get to play and benefit either way.Thoughts on how you recognize opportunity when you see it?

Hey there, hero!You're at that delicious moment...a blinking cursor, or waiting for the 2nd to call the cast and crew to quiet on the set, or the first moment you've opened a new audio or video recording window......how do you feel?

Hey there, hero!There are great MeetUp groups (like our beloved Voices Anonymous here in LA)......and then there are MeetUp groups that are not so great.I know they meant well, but still...Joining a MeetUp group, creating content to be used in a VO demo and sharing among members is possibly the worst strategy I've ever heard.And I got invited to participate in this voyage...by that site's algorithm.I doubt they could have asked a worse candidate to join their merry MeetUp menagerie.The group organizer, I hope, was just trying to help. But he didn't even specify which VO demo was to be built for the members.Sigh.So...other than that...what did you do to put together your first writing sample, on-camera reel or VO demo?

Hey there, hero!Feel free to wake up every morning and give yourself a break. You are fallible.Don't assume that with experience, even a great amount, comes perfection.Even if you have years of mastery, you can still make a simple mistake.And it doesn't mean anything other than you're a human being.You're going to make mistakes.

Hey there, hero!I'm now subscribed to two newsletters I cannot quit.One is from James Clear, and the other is from Mark Manson.Mark is the one that can't stop using the F word in his book titles.But that bit of profanity can distract you from the power of his writing.

Hey there, hero!We get comfy when we have a pattern to look at: we create a life for ourselves, we get into a habit, we get systems in place and we think that's it.It's never going to change. What we have now is what we will always have, good and bad.But is that really true?Does what we have now somehow predict what we'll have in the future? Is what we have now all we can expect for the future?Absolutely not. Think about the completely random nature of our business.

Hey there, hero!Had a great time on the VOBB (VO Booth Besties) with Jen, Jen and Aleesha:https://www.boothbesties.com/...and I had the chance to answer some questions from the attending audience of VO talent.One question that came up was "How do you keep all the voices you create for the characters in an audiobook straight? How do you avoid using the wrong voice for a character by mistake?"Great questions, and one that has a number of different possible answers. Let's explore exactly how to do that - especially as an actor (or writer).How do you keep everyone straight? Is this a challenge for you?

Hey there, hero!One of the most satisfying things that can happen to us is that all goes according to plan.That you set up a process, and you follow the path, you execute the steps, and it works out perfectly.But ask yourself: how often does that really happen? Not very often, if at all, I would think.It's really difficult, given all the variables in life, and especially in the performing arts, to set everything up to occur on a particular date and time. And that can be really frustrating, as there are bills to pay and obligations to meet that other people seem to put on the calendar for us.A quick mindset shift for you in this episode: how to be at peace with not having your successes (or failures) timed out to a particular moment, and how to prepare for the ups and the downs.Can you find joy in the random nature of the timing of your results, good or bad?

Hey there, hero!This episode is for you if you feel like you missed the boat. That you're too old to be the artist you want to be. So...We tell ourselves the stories we hear from others.It's convenient and reliable.Sometimes.But sometimes, the stories we tell ourselves are different from the conventional wisdom. And it's actually all a choice. It depends on how much you want it.If you want to switch up what you're doing in life...you can. Really.And you actually have an advantage to switch things up.

Hey there, hero!If there's one thing we don't have enough of, it's time.But there are ways to guard your time and protect what you have.You can even take steps to re-claim that precious commodity.

Hey there, hero!Our NarrateYourOwnBook.com training course, designed for authors who want to be the voice of their own books, has a lesson in it that shows them how to "claim their title" from Kindle and start the process of producing the audiobook version of their book on ACX.You'd think you'd need some sort of permission to claim a title, but you'd be wrong.In this episode we discuss how easy it is for scammers to create ACX projects from any title that has yet to be claimed, leaving us in the position of being taken advantage of.As a narrator, you'll want to watch this, and then be extra vigilant when someone contacts you out of the blue on ACX to narrate their book. And if you're an author, you'll want to watch for your title being claimed without your permission.Could it be any easier? Thoughts on this?

Hey there, hero!I'm just starting the process of taking a course, and I'm looking for advice from you.Whether you formally teach others or not, we all make the move from showing others how to do something to learning how to do things ourselves.What do you do to be as open as possible to the great things headed your way? How do you combat the assumptions you've made about something you're learning?
