Is video always the best way to teach something? Video has transformed the world of workplace learning and still makes up a huge part of it today. Just about any workplace, big or small, can create training videos with minimal cost. But it doesn't always make it the right tool for the job.In this throwback episode of The Visual Lounge, host Matt Pierce revisits a conversation with Jonathan Halls, author and head of his own company as a workplace learning and talent development consultant.Jonathan breaks down the three questions to ask to determine whether video is the right medium to use and his take on why overly polished content isn't always necessary. We get a little geeky about learning science to explore how learning actually occurs in the viewer's minds and how this shaped Jonathan's whole mindset on training content. Learning points from the episode include:00:00 – 01:08 Why we're revisiting this episode 01:08 – 03:56 Introduction to Jonathan03:56 – 04:52 Jonathan's quick tips for using video in workplace learning04:52 – 06:04 The mindset shift Jonathan recommends 06:04 – 09:24 Three questions to ask to decide on a learning medium 09:24 – 14:47 How to provoke learning with video and why “learning” requires context 14:47 – 18:06 Where video is most effective in the learning journey18:06 – 22:38 Do learning videos need to be overly polished?22:38 – 29:41 Jonathan gives a quick breakdown on why he wrote his book 29:41 – 33:14 Speed round questions33:14 – 34:30 Jonathan's final take34:30 – 35:55 OutroImportant links and mentions:Connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhalls

In just a few short years, AI usage has boomed in the content creation world. Not just that, it's also changed a LOT, and in ways many of us never predicted. In this episode, Matt Pierce takes us back to 2023 when many of us were still experimenting with AI and had bold predictions about its future. He asked the audience on LinkedIn for predictions, fears, and insights into how people were using AI for video content. How much has changed since then? Were our predictions right? Matt unpacks some of the top trends people were discussing, including AI for accessibility, dynamic learning, user-generated content, and the ins and outs of video production. A common theme that's still relevant today is the role of authenticity and the human voice in our content. While AI can do a lot of the grunt work and can help us turn ideas into finished products, the human voice is still king.

You have just five seconds. So hook ‘em in, keep them watching, and make those seconds count.Starting with a clear hook isn't just for YouTubers looking to make it big. Even if you're creating instructional videos that people have to watch for their job, you have just a few seconds to grab attention. If you don't, the video might still play but their concentration will be long gone. When you put all that effort into creating a video, the last thing you want is for your viewer to click away or leave it playing in the background while they're thinking about what to have for dinner that night. The short attention span thing is real. We all have 101 other things on our minds on any given day. So how do you grab attention and keep it? It all starts with a powerful hook.Host of The Visual Lounge, Matt Pierce, breaks down the power of hooks, including three tactics you can use to make your first few seconds count. You'll learn about how and when to use hooks and some common mistakes to avoid for your next video.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 - 00:58 Introduction to video hooks00:58 - 02:03 Why the first five seconds are the most important02:03 - 02:38 The battle for viewer attention02:38 - 03:35 Hook tactic 1: The bold statement03:35 - 04:17 Hook tactic 2: Pain points04:17 - 05:01 Hook tactic 3: Instant wins05:01 - 05:37 Beware of clickbait 05:37 - 06:51 Top video introduction mistakes to avoid06:51 - 08:15 Making internal videos people want to watch08:15 - 09:27 Tie your hook to your internal audience 09:27 - 10:11 When flashy hooks aren't needed10:11 - 11:08 OutroImportant links and mentions:Connect with Matt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewrpierce/

Matt Pierce has been a tech guy for his entire 17 year career. Coming out of grad school, he started out in healthcare tech for a decade or so. Eventually, he started down the path of being an entrepreneur. He is married with 3 daughters - 2 in third grade and one that is a 2 year old. He mentioned the entrepreneurial dilemma of picking 3 of the 5 life choices - family, business, sleep, exercise and friendships - and notes that his three are family, business, and sleep.After spending nights and weekends burning the midnight oil on a healthcare tech solution, Matt sat down with a prospective client and did the best pitch ever. The client's feedback was that it didn't solve her real problem which was turnover, which boiled down to money. After chatting with the client and a mentor, Matt uncovered the best potential solution to financial stress - on demand pay.This is the creation story of Immediate.SponsorsPropelAuthSpeakeasyQA WolfSnapTradeLinksWebsite: http://joinimmediate.com/codestoryLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/piercmb/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Who is your audience and what do they need? Whenever we create content, this should be top of mind. Whether we're creating something fun and entertaining or educational and skill-based, our audience's response and experience are the ultimate measure of success. But what do people want to see in videos? The good news is you don't have to guess! We look at what the average video viewer prefers in our Video Viewer Trends Report each year to get an up-to-date picture of how people are responding to video content in the here and now. This year, we surveyed over 1,000 people and asked all the key questions any video creator wants to know, including how long videos should be, what the most important elements of a video are, where they watch, why they watch (and stop watching) and even what they think about AI tools used to create content. In this episode of The Visual Lounge, host Matt Pierce breaks down some of the top findings to help you create content that people respond to.

Let's get those creative muscles working! The secret to great learning content is just as much about creativity in your messaging as the content itself. How you deliver your content is key to that information being absorbed and remembered, so don't be afraid to get a little creative. In this episode, host Matt Pierce sits down with Tim Slade, Founder of The eLearning Designer's Academy and renowned expert in visual communications. His top tip for creators using images or videos? Tap into your creativity. Remember when you were a kid and could dream up just about anything? Don't lose sight of that! As adults, many of us lose the natural creativity and imagination we explored as kids, but Tim explains that we can tap into that again by trying something a bit different (and being okay if it doesn't work out). Tim shares how he uses modern tools to bring his imagination to life and how he gets inspiration from just about anywhere he looks, from TV commercials to ads at airport kiosks. He explains why he approaches animation design like a theater production, seeing each little element as its own character telling a story. Tim offers some great insights into his processes, why he values simplicity, and how he gauges whether his work will be effective. We also talk about the elephant in the room… AI and its impact on learning design. Tim cautions us against over-reliance on AI and explains that human creativity is what will really set your design apart.

How do you know if your video content is genuinely resonating with learners, or is it just another piece of corporate training that gets lost in a busy day? In this episode of The Visual Lounge, host Matt Pierce sits down with Richard Fleming, a seasoned filmmaker and learning designer for his company Sage Media, to dig into what truly makes effective content. Richard explores the need for videos to make an emotional impact to influence learning and decision-making and why understanding the feelings you want to evoke in your audience is crucial for learning design.Richard introduces the concept of the self-determination theory, highlighting the importance of fostering autonomy, competence, and relatedness in training design.

Accept this Sh__? Hell No! Rhonda and David  are joined in today's podcast by two dear friends, Dr. Matt May, a popular regular on our show, and Matt Pierce, a co-founder of the soon-to-be-released Feeling Great App Brief bio sketch of Matt Pierce goes here, should you wish to include it in the show notes. Matt,. A pic would also be great, but not required. People get tired of the same pics each week, so a fresh face to illustrate this episode would be cool! You've probably heard about acceptance. It's a popular buzzword in the mental health space these days. In fact, some experts claim that it's THE key to happiness and enlightenment. It's NOT, but it can be incredibly helpful. I wanted to learn more about Acceptance and put some numbers on it's effectiveness, or lack of effectiveness, so I recently sent an invitation to the 45,000 people on my mailing lists to complete a new survey on acceptance and resistance. More than 1,000 quickly responded, which was great. I hoped the data could provide some answers questions like these: What is acceptance? How interested are we in accepting themselves, other people, and the world? Many people, and perhaps most of us, strenuously resist acceptance. Why? What are the things that we have the most trouble accepting about ourselves and others? Is all the hype about acceptance justified? Does it actually have meaningful effects on how we feel? Can money buy happiness? And if so, how much, exactly, does it cost? Why are single people more depressed and unhappy than people with partners? And if so, is it because of the lack of a loving partner? Or was there some other reason? Thanks for listening, David, Rhonda and Matt

Devious multinational food conglomerates have partnered up to destroy the health of humanity all in the name of profits, and as bad as that sounds, it isn't the worst thing they have planned. The depopulation agenda is never far behind when the large corporations join forces on a project, and the killing of the population through the food system certainly does qualify as another one of their “projects”. A little bit of education can help us to move out of the direct path of the poisonous foods that are being served to humanity, and Chef Matt Pierce has been around the food industry long enough to know a global food scam when he sees one. Will the people realize that they are doing the depopulation work for the Globalists by continuing to indulge in Frankenfoods, or will the benefits of low costs and convenience doom humanity to a life of sickness and obesity?
