Rarely do we get the chance to hear the C-suite side of things when it comes to content and learning design. What do they really think about the training content they see out in the wild? But in this episode, we hear from business transformation expert and former Chief Learning Officer Christopher Lind on adapting your content creation process for the modern working world.Christopher introduces us to what a CLO really is and offers a peek into his main responsibilities. He explains how L&D teams can work with their CLO (or do well without one) and how a CLO defines great content. The AI topic naturally comes up and we look at how it can improve processes or even make things slower if your process isn't already working. Christopher also shares his tips on using video tools, what makes great content, and how emotion should be at the heart of every piece of content. Learning points from the episode include:00:00 - 02:42 Introduction to Christopher 02:42 - 03:44 Christopher's top tip for using images or video effectively03:44 - 04:42 The emotional component of training content 04:42 - 07:03 What is a Chief Learning Officer really responsible for?07:03 - 09:04 How to work with your CLO (and what to do if you don't have one)09:04 - 12:00 How leaders and L&D teams should approach AI and automation 12:00 - 15:02 How do we avoid being replaced in the AI age?15:02 - 17:19 Why AI is like jet fuel to a process 17:19 - 19:41 Is AI a natural solution to the skills gap? 19:41 - 21:49 How AI is changing the nature of our professions and responsibilities 21:49 - 24:04 Advice from the C-suite: what makes content good? 24:04 - 27:40 Speed round questions27:40 - 29:35 Why Christopher has been a long-time lover of TechSmith tools like Snagit 29:35 - 30:17 How to connect with Christopher30:17 - 31:16 Christopher's inspiring final take31:16 - 32:02 OutroImportant links and mentions:Connect with Christopher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherlind/Subscribe to Christopher on Substack: https://substack.com/@christopherlindFollow Christopher on X: https://x.com/ctlind?lang=en Visit Christopher's Website: https://christopherlind.co/Subscribe to Christopher's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Christopher_Lind

*This is my personal account of Bill Hamilton from my own personal memory. I'm sure that I have some of the details and facts wrong. I apologize for any errorsOn December 15th, 2024, Bill Hamilton, the Founder of TechSmith died from a heart attack at the age of 77. Bill Hamilton was the greatest entrepreneur of the Lansing area in this century. Arguably more. He was a husband, a father, a veteran, a computer programmer, a Spartan, an amateur ham radio enthusiast, a competitive shooter, an avid reader, a history expert, a philanthropist, and to me personally - he was my second father, a mentor and one of the greatest people I've ever known. Bill Hamilton is the reason I finished college, the reason I love to read, the reason I'm an entrepreneur, the reason I love software & tech, the reason I am skeptical, the reason I got on my first airplane, and so much more. I can't begin to imagine the hole that has been left in the heart of his family, especially his loving wife Susan and his daughter Wendy, whom I have come to know best. My love and support go out to them and his entire family.Bill co-founded TechSmith all the way back in 1987. It was a software consulting company, and one of the products they developed to serve their clients was, I believe, the first-ever “screen capture” tool.At the time, TechSmith was mainly doing consulting work for clients, but Bill had ambitions to become a software product company. They had the brilliant idea to give away Snagit for free on a “shareware” site that allowed users to download free applications. Remember, this was pretty revolutionary at the time. At this time, mostly the way you would buy software was to walk into a brick and mortar retail store and buy packaged software off a shelf like a book. Downloads of Snagit exploded so they decided to start offering customers the option to donate money to the company. And they did! All the sudden, TechSmith was a software company. The company built visual communication software. Snagit for taking pictures of the Screen. Then Camtasia Studio for recording videos of the screen. Camtasia was the product that I helped grow under the leadership of Troy Stein. Bill was built different and he built TechSmith unlike any other company that I had ever seen. When I joined TechSmith in 2003, I believe there were about 50 employees. TechSmith was like paradise to me. There was an employee lounge with free pop, snacks, and every Friday the company catered meals for “Free food friday” where they would select the best restaurants from around the area and even sometimes - the best ice cream. But it wasn't the perk of getting to eat for free - Bill did it because he wanted his employees to sit together and get to know one another. It was all to build trust and community amongst his employees. This was something I directly emulated (Ahem, Stole) at Liquid Web. Everything Bill did in the company was to build a culture where the employee was supported, mentored, taught, and grown into a better person. Bill encouraged dissent. He encouraged people to always have one thing in mind: What is best for the customer? When I joined the company I was 22 years old. I was a young punk kid that knew nothing about software, the internet, business, - or anything - really. At the time I was applying for the job, I was nearly bankrupt after starting a company that failed and taking a loan out from my generous parents that I was at risk of not being able to repay. I was bitter from my previous experience at Millenium Digital Media and felt that I had been treated unfairly, so I had a big chip on my shoulder. I came into TechSmith with the attitude of literally - “Fuc& it. I'm going to speak my mind, they are going to fire me anyway.”Bill had another incredible gift. He believed in complete transparency and honesty. Almost anyone in the company could run sales reports and see detailed financial information about the products and the company itself. In most companies, only the elite top of the company has the privilege of seeing this “sensitive” information. But Bill believed that the best ideas can come from anywhere within the organization and that we should all work from the same set of facts. He also encouraged people to sit in on meetings, even on topics that they were not the expert. I want to take a minute to go back to a post that I wrote just 4 short months ago. I am SO glad that I wrote this and took the time to honor the man I admired: “Bill Hamilton at TechSmith will always be like a second father to me.I didn't really know what software was when I was hired, and I certainly had no idea what it meant to invent a software application, do the coding to develop it, market it to customers, to become a multimillion-dollar product. TechSmith was one of the most beautiful companies I've ever worked for, comprised of some of the smartest people I've ever met in the world.Being around those people made me smarter, no question—from Brooks Andrus who taught me all things “product”, to Betsy Weber on marketing, Michael Malinak, Paul Middlin, and Dean Craven on software development, Jim Hidlay on Sales, the Gardener twins, (Marty and Murphy) on insanely fast development, Daniel Park, Tony Lambert, Matt Ayo, Paul Wright, Jeff Kohler, Renee Badra, Amy Walsh, Carla Wardin, Tony Dunkle, and my all time favorite: Troy Stein: Troy taught me almost everything. (I know I missed many!!! SORRY!)But the reason this all happened and the thing that brought us all together was Bill Hamilton.Bill and his wife Susan created a culture where anyone could have any idea, and the status of the individual presenting the idea did not matter at all. The only thing that mattered was the correctness of the idea and how convincingly you could persuade others to your way of thinking.I remember being a young punk kid, maybe 21 or 22, essentially doing customer service for sales calls. Even with my low level position, at TechSmith I was encouraged to sit in on some of the development and product marketing meetings for a software application that I knew nothing about. I had no expertise that qualified me to participate in those meetings. Yet, there I was.I remember one meeting specifically a week or two into my employment that was about the Camtasia Studio's non-destructive video editor. There were probably 10 brilliant people in the meeting — and me.As the discussion went around the room and they discussed the product, I had a realization: I knew a little bit about the application because of my experience working at NBC Channel 10. I knew a little -- but not much —just enough to be dangerous.I also had a chip on my shoulder from being fired from my previous job and after some prodding from Bill Hamilton, I got the courage to speak up.“Do you guys realize this doesn't function like any of the other video editing software on the market?” There was an audible gasp in the room as the youngest stupidest person at the table essentially disagreed with every decision that they had previously made.The person who had hired me into TechSmith tried to get me to stop, but luckily Bill Hamilton was in the room. He embraced me, leaned in, and argued with me passionately. I argued back. I was certain I was going to be fired, but to my surprise, Bill Hamilton took me into the hallway afterward and continued the conversation.He told me that he appreciated the feedback and welcomed it, and that I should continue to do it and sit in on more meetings. It was truly amazing.Honestly, I don't even know if I was right about what I was saying. Looking back, I'm sure I probably wasn't, but that taught me the most important lesson of my life.Surround yourself with smart people who want to hear your opinion regardless of your status, and people who judge you solely based on the content of your character and the quality of your thinking.TechSmith taught me many things, but the main things it taught me were how to think, how to build companies, how to be skeptical of my own brain, it taught me strategies to disregard status in the search for truth, and taught me the importance of building high-quality teams of the smartest people in the world.I am incredibly lucky that Bill Hamilton chose to keep TechSmith Corporation in the Lansing, Michigan, area. If it wasn't for that, I truly don't believe I would be the person I am today. That is not to say I am a perfect person. Far from it. But I'd certainly be a much shittier person if it wasn't for Techsmith!And this is precisely my point: because of my time at TechSmith, I know that perfection isn't an end state; it is a constant pursuit. The only way you can ever possibly get close to achieving it, which of course is never possible, is by surrounding yourself with smart people and continuing to push and challenge yourself every single day.So, this concludes another love letter to Bill Hamilton, the founder of TechSmith Corporation.”As I sit here crying and missing my friend and mentor, I regret a lot. I regret that I never recorded the podcast with him that I had planned to do. I regret that I didn't join TechSmith after we sold Liquid Web like Bill had hoped I would. On Monday when my friend Joe Dearman called to give me the news of Bill's passing I was running at the MAC. Literally the very next thing on my To-Do list was to call Bill and invite him to Lunch with Brooks and Joe the following day. When Joe told me of the passing of Bill, he mentioned that Bill was just in the office on Wednesday and he was sharp as ever. He also mentioned that on his way out of the meeting Bill said, “Tell Travis I said Hi”. I cannot believe he is gone. He was healthy and sharp. About 1/5 of you reading this will die of a heart attack. Of that, about 50% of you will be seemingly healthy and have no prior warning or signs. As most of you know, Matt Hill founder of Liquid Web, my best friend since 2 year old - also died of a heart attack. This again is my plea to please spend the ~$200 to get a CT Calcium Score of your heart. It is quick, painless, doesn't require any dye or injections. Just a quick trip to see if you have a ticking time bomb in your chest. (I am not a doctor.)Bill was my mentor. He was like a second father to me. The man I am today, for better or for worse, has been influenced mostly by my incredible parents and just after that… Bill Hamilton. Bill and I would try to get lunch or breakfast about once a quarter. When I was walking out of a meeting we had around the time of Matt's death I remember turning to him and saying: “I love you”. I think it startled him and I felt really weird when he didn't say it back — but sitting here, I know he loved me and I am so fu$&ing thankful I delivered him that message while he was still here with us. I love you Bill. Thank you. Year Of The Opposite - Travis Stoliker's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Get to the point. That's the way you entice audiences and ensure they stay. While front-loading instructional videos with the ‘why' is tempting, it's the ‘how' that audiences have tuned in for.Attention spans are getting shorter and shorter, which is why you need to deliver value as soon as possible. This means a clear narrative, great video quality, and authenticity. In this episode of The Visual Lounge, Matt Pierce meets with Doug Brunner, the Customer Education Manager at TechSmith. They discuss why video is the most effective way to deliver content, their biggest pet peeves when it comes to instructional videos, and some of the best features of Camtasia and Snagit.

In this episode, Diana and Nicole discuss the advancements in AI tools for transcribing handwritten text. They highlight FamilySearch's new full-text search feature that uses AI to transcribe deed and probate images, and they demonstrate how ChatGPT and Claude can quickly transcribe uploaded images, significantly reducing the time needed for such tasks. They explain that before May 13, 2024, file upload capabilities were exclusive to the paid version of ChatGPT, but the newly released GPT-4o allows free users to upload files, offering improved transcription accuracy and speed. The episode also covers how to prompt these tools effectively, the importance of fact-checking the generated transcriptions, and alternative tools like Snagit for OCR tasks. The episode includes a practical example of transcribing a Confederate parole document and the differences in output quality between various  tools.

Note: Sorry for the poor audio on the podcast. I'm on vacation and don't have access to my usual studio setup. Lansing is a fine city. I love my family here, I love my in-laws here, and I love my friends here dearly. But it is unquestionable to say that I hindered my career and my intelligence by staying in Lansing, Michigan.One of the truest things ever said about relationships is that you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. From my perspective, that is unquestionably true—not just for me but for the friends and family that I observe.It's hard to develop good habits if you're around people with bad habits. It is very difficult to develop high-quality thinking if you are around people with low-quality thinking. This is not to suggest that the people in Lansing, Michigan, have low-quality thinking. I am not saying that at all. I love the people here, and I have invested in the people here as much as I possibly can.But when you are trying to pursue a specific career or industry, it's very important that you surround yourself with the best thinkers in that industry. Whenever possible, it is critical to be around the founders of companies that have invented revolutionary technology in that industry.For example, Lansing, Michigan, used to be one of those areas when Ransom E. Olds helped invent the auto industry here around 1900-1930. Lansing became a beacon of hope and a bright light, attracting the best thinkers and workers from around the world to join in on the truly revolutionary effort. They aimed to mass-produce the automobile, invent the mass manufacturing line, and literally change the world.All the best and brightest workers thinking about the problem of transportation flocked to Lansing. If you went out to a bar or went to the lake with your friends, by default, you were around the smartest people in that industry. You were around the top minds thinking about how to revolutionize transportation for human use. Even a casual conversation over coffee could be one of the smartest conversations happening anywhere in the world on that particular topic.What is truly marvelous is that it didn't have to be the CEO or the founder of the company that you were talking to or interacting with. When you are inside a company doing truly revolutionary work or even in the same city as that company, even if you are a new low-level employee just getting your start or just a citizen in the city, it is possible that you are still in the top 1% of thinkers on that particular topic. In the example we are using of Lansing Michigan during the 1900-1930's, the conversations happening in Lansing about revolutionizing transportation and the manufacturing process - were some of the most important in the entire world as it relates to that topic. People don't realize this, but even the secretary at Google usually knows more about how search engines work than some people that I meet who own search engine optimization companies. That's just how it happens when you're in the right rooms and surround yourself with the right conversations. Surround yourself with the best and brightest thinkers on whatever topic you want to learn about. It seems obvious and we already recognize this about sports: If you want to be the best, you have to play against the best. It's strange that we don't understand this and embrace it in our professional careers enough. I certainly wish I would have realized it earlier in my career. I don't want to diminish or take away from the amazing fortune I've had and I want to give credit to the amazing influences and mentors I've had. * From Big Dan Crimin, who taught me how to sell for the first time when I was working at Big George's Home Appliance Mart. * Donnie Hoppes, Jason Spencer, and Jen Sumaraki, who taught me how to run the audio board and camera to produce the NBC Nightly News. * And Mr. Schneider at Schneider Sheet Metal, who taught me how to make ductwork for homes.But there is one simple fact that changed my trajectory and, I think, literally saved my career and taught me how to think. That was because Bill Hamilton founded TechSmith Corporation and kept it in the Lansing, Michigan, area. I was fortunate that my high school friend Jenn Veldman Middlin happened to work there and was sitting across the table from me at my first interview. Without that, I probably never would have gotten the job. One of the reasons I love Jenn so dearly, even though we disagree on politics so severely (lol, I love you, Jen), is because I credit her with almost single-handedly changing my life. But Bill Hamilton at TechSmith will always be like a second father to me.TechSmith makes the software applications Snagit, which take screen captures of your computer screen, and Camtasia Studio, which made videos of your computer screen. I didn't really know what software was when I was hired, and I certainly had no idea what it meant to invent a software application, do the coding to develop it, market it to customers, to become a multimillion-dollar product. TechSmith was one of the most beautiful companies I've ever worked for, comprised of some of the smartest people I've ever met in the world.Being around those people made me smarter, no question—from Brooks Andrus who taught me all things “product”, to Betsy Weber on marketing, Michael Malinak, Paul Middlin, and Dean Craven on software development, Jim Hidlay on Sales, the Gardener twins, (Marty and Murphy) on insanely fast development, Daniel Park, Tony Lambert, Matt Ayo, Paul Wright, Jeff Kohler, Renee Badra, Amy Walsh, Carla Wardin, Tony Dunkle, and my all time favorite: Troy Stein: Troy taught me almost everything. (I know I missed many!!! SORRY!)But the reason this all happened and the thing that brought us all together was Bill Hamilton.

The only way you can ever possibly get close to achieving it, which of course is never possible, is by surrounding yourself with smart people and continuing to push and challenge yourself every single day.So, this concludes another love letter to Bill Hamilton, the founder of TechSmith Corporation.So what do you do with this information? Probably nothing. Advice is mostly b******t.But what I can tell you is what I wished I would have known when I was getting started. * When you're getting started, almost entirely ignore the salary. The reality is, when you're young, to an amazing company doing important work you have no value at all. In most cases you should probably be paying them for the opportunity. So if you even get a small salary, be happy and jump at the chance. * Get yourself into rooms with the smartest thinkers on the topics you care about. With the advancement of the internet that could be chat rooms, zoom calls, forums, or networking meet ups. But don't undervalue the importance of being in the great cities of your time. In 1900, Lansing was one of those cities. That's exactly what brought my family here. But today, if you want to make the best BBQ - get to Austin or Kansas City. If you want to revolutionize finance with Blockchain technology, get to Miami. If you want to gain access to capital to scale up a software enabled startup, get to San Fran. (Even with all its recent problems)Apologies to LansingI'm committed to Lansing and I don't mean this post with any ill will. I hope that I can be a tiny part of hopefully reigniting the entrepreneurial spirit of this area. But I also have to be honest about how I feel or else I'm not doing a service to anyone including myself.So if you're mad at me for this post, blame Bill Hamilton, because I learned this at TechSmith. :)I'd love to hear from you.

In many couples, one person handles the money and the other thinks as little as possible about it. That's certainly true with my wife.To help her, should I pass away, I created what I call the Blue Binder. To supplement the binder, I've started creating videos where I share my computer screen and walk through our finances. This allows me to show her our brokerage and bank accounts online. I can walk through all of our finances and explain how it all works and why I've made the choices that I've made.In this episode, I'll explain how you can create these videos and give you some ideas of the topics you should cover.Tools Mentioned in this VideoEmpower: https://go.robberger.com/empower/yt-b...Tiller: https://go.robberger.com/tiller/yt-bl...Loom: https://www.loom.com/Snagit: https://www.techsmith.com/screen-capt...Join the Newsletter.

Instructional design for online courses is a crucial aspect of modern CME/CE. And as online learning has grown over the last 15 years or so, especially so since 2020, instructional designers play a vital role in creating effective and engaging CME/CE content for learners.In today's podcast episode, I'm speaking with Mark Hagerty, an expert in effective instructional design in the context of CME/CE with a passion for behavioral and life sciences.

We talk to Daniel Foster, Director of Strategy at TechSmith,  about the contentious relationship between technical writers and video content. A growing trend among technical writers is the integration of video content alongside traditional documentation and visuals, offering a dynamic and immersive medium to enhance user understanding and engagement. However, writers generally prefer words because they're easier to reuse and scale, as well as being more efficient for their overall business. This leads to a rather contentious relationship with video elements...especially with clients specifically requesting more of them. Daniel regularly works with technical writers on how to bridge this gap and effectively leverage video content to complement their writing.  We discuss how technical writers can effectively manage this contentious relationship. We will publish a transcript on the Cherryleaf blog.  About Cherryleaf: Cherryleaf   Techsmith's Research hub includes: - Value of Visuals - Ultimate Guide to Simplified User Interface Graphics (SUI) - The Ultimate Guide to Easily Make Instructional Videos Guide to adding captions to videos Simplify Tool in Snagit (tutorial) Audiate

Puh, habe ich mich gewunden wie ein Aal. Hörte ich doch so viele unterschiedliche Meinungen zu Apples neuem Betriebssystem Ventura.   Tja, dann siegte doch meine Neugierde und ich traf die Entscheidung es mir erst auf mein neues Macbook Pro zu laden, da hier noch nicht so viel drauf war (sicher ist schließlich sicher). Abwarten und Tee trinken oder schaun mer mal, dann sehn mer scho. Es klappte richtig gut.   Also wagte ich den weiteren Schritt und lud es auch noch auf den iMac. Hier klappte ebenfalls alles ohne große Probleme, naja abgesehen von Snagit. Dies ist aber eine andere Geschichte.   ZOOM und Ventura  sind in Kombi ein absoluter Gamechanger, da Du jetzt endlich eine super Kamera nutzen kannst, viel besser als alle bisherigen Webcams. Sorry, Apple, aber schließlich habt ihr es ja so gewollt :-). Du kannst jetzt Dein iPhone als Webcam nutzen und dort hast Du auch ganz viele Einstellmöglichkeiten. Im Kontrollzentrum kannst Du einstellen, möchte ich noch ein Studiolicht, den Portraitmodus oder Folgemodus hinzufügen. WOW, absoluter Gamechanger. Des weiteren kannst Du jetzt auch den Schreibtischmodus einschalten und hier Unterlagen direkt mit Deinen Teilnehmenden teilen.   Aber Achtung, bitte trenne Dein iPhone nicht vom Rechner, sonst musst Du hinterher den Rechner Neustarten. Dieses Learning teile ich sehr gerne mit Dir. Anhalten ist okay oder einfach die Kamera umschalten bei ZOOM, aber NICHT TRENNEN drücken.   Dein Mikrofon vom iPhone kannst Du ebenfalls nutzen. Dieses ist ja ebenfalls sehr gut, zugeben kein Studiomikro, aber besser als so manch andere Lösung, die ich bisher erlebt habe.   Ach ja, in der Episode gehe ich auch noch auf das Thema Hybrid ein, da es in der Kombi ebenfalls für mich einen Gamechanger darstellt und mein Equipment-Set jetzt schrumpfen lässt.   Inhalt:

It's old painting. Right? Right. And he's a man's man, a warrior, just like it says, and you've got a lot of other books. sleeveless t shirt leave. You know, you just you got to come as you are I work in my redneck. Yeah. Now, are you in your your bio? It said, Your the cigars and sermons. Is that a church now? Or was it still? event I guess is what you said. Since you brought up the cigar. I think I'll smoke one. There you go. Right. Now this might offend a few. Bible thumpers, but I hope it Doug Giles  3:23  does. So I was at a pastors conference. And so this goes back nearly 30 years. And so we're sitting around with a bunch of senior ministers. Okay. We're not talking about new believers. We're talking about guys who've been Christians for years. They have churches of anywhere from 500 to 3000 on the low man on the totem pole. Gary Duncan  3:48  I can actually smell that over here. That smells so good. Doug Giles  3:53  Yeah. Yeah, so anyway, so everybody's ordering drinks. And since it's a past pastors conference, everybody's doing tea, sweet tea, Coke, Diet Coke, dark pepper, root beer, comes to me and I order one Coors Light, which is barely beer. I mean, it's barely beer. It's like 2% by volume. And Gary i I only drank wine. I didn't you know get up on the table start dancing. I didn't you know get into my seat 28 Start driving around the city you know, creating havoc for you know, innocent people. I just had one beer. And you would have thought that I ordered warm blood from the last one on the planet and drank it, you know, in homage to El Diablo. And I get the same kind of crap with the cigar stuff. So I figured you know what, I'm not going to hide it. I love smoking cigars. There's no injunction in Scripture to not do it. And people always bring it up. It's like well, your your your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and Like, you just ate 17 pieces of catfish and 31 Hush puppies. You've got more chance and a Chinese phone book. You're 300 pounds overweight. I cycled probably, you know, 60 miles a week. I work out constantly. I smoke cigars. So, physician Bill heal yourself. Gary Duncan  5:23  Yeah, exactly, exactly. I've always wondered why Baptists were so fat all the time. I mean, I used to be in a bad restrict. And I promise you that I think that's a prerequisite when they interview you got to be. I know, I don't go down that trail, get in trouble. So. Doug Giles  5:39  So my, so there's a teacher and she's doing this show and tell and she wants and she lives in a eclectic city. It's in Miami. And she wants all the various people, the little kids to bring something that represents their religion. So Maria comes and she said, Hello, my name is Maria. This is a crucifix. I'm a Catholic. And then Shlomo, he rocks up and he says, Hey, my name, Shlomo. This is the star David. I'm Jewish. And then Billy's like, Hi, my name is Billy. This is a casserole. I'm about. Gary Duncan  6:19  Oh, that's so good. All right, let's see who else we can offend. Let's now let's get into your your book, because I know you got a little bit of time. And I'm telling you, it's hard hitting it is pure, raw truth. And, you know, just let's talk about 2020 Because I know where I was, I was at. And that was the time that light switched. For me. Everything switched, I got red peeled, probably before that, actually, about seven years before that, I started waking up to a lot of stuff, but 2020 really sent me over the age. And since then, I've just I've run across a lot of people that feel the same way that we just totally miss something, the church miss something. I love what you say in the book about the it's in the very front of the book about pastors should repent, for closing down and doing what they did. And I agree 100%, I've yet to hear that. I doubt we'll hear it. And, you know, because they, they, again, you get into Romans 13, all the stuff that goes on. And we just need to if you just watch the news now, I mean, they're, they're coming after our kids. Some of the stuff they're doing to our kids, we just, I mean, Christians should be out in the streets with pitchforks with these people. Because this is just it's demonic. It's Luciferian. And they're totally ignorant of what's going on in our country. And so we're What was your mindset to in 2020? Doug Giles  7:53  Yes. So, you know, I've never feared sickness. I've never, you know, been some kind of scared, Dread laden hamster of anything, you know, going into the deepest, darkest places of Africa and Mexico. I'm a hunter, I travel a lot. I do mission work, you know, especially when I was a young Christian. And I'm not just talking about passing out tracts of Juarez, we'd go into the tail end of the Sierra Madre in the state of Nairobi. Where, where there's no streetlights, there's, there's hostile Indian tribes, the core that we chose, you got you got the federal rallies that are that are planned heroin and marijuana, and we're invading their space and trying to liberate people from drug addiction. And also I would eat their food and drink their water, you know, not fearing if I'm going to get Montezuma's revenge. So I've never been, you know, some nail biter. And so when the, the plague from the Wuhan lab that Fauci oversaw, and when it was released upon us, which I believe as a weapon to collapse America's economy, everybody's, you know, in dread of it, and, you know, when Trump said, Gary said, Look, we're gonna take two weeks to flatten the curve. I said, Okay, I'll do it. So we had our cigars and sermon event, which is, at that time, it was a monthly Bible study. And so I said, Look, we'll just, we'll just punt for the month of March. April, we'll reconvene and then of course, you got Fauci and Birx and all the other quote unquote, you know, experts coming in saying, Oh, no, you know, we've got to do it not just for two more weeks, but what the heck maybe in perpetuity, maybe for you know, Infinity and Beyond we're going to social distance, we're not going to have Christmas you know, we're gonna like granny rot in the system living home and, you know, this is the new normal and it's right then that I started smelling 1984, this Orwellian bull crap rat cage that they're going to strap on our heads and make us toe the line and so So, at that juncture, I was going to a church. And then I started getting memos and emails from the church like, well, you know, Merrimack cheese and Governor Abbott says that we got to gather safely and so we've got to social distance, we're going to close our church down for a few more months, until he allows us to open the church. And man, you know, I don't want to aggravate hair loss, but I started scratching a bald spot in the back of my head. Just listening to these pastors, you know, my pastor, say, you know, we're going to follow Abbotts IIDX wisdom, you got to frickin be it. This is we got to we got to gather wisely. It's like, you got to be kidding me, man. Because I believe very, that there's somebody who Trump's civil magistrate, a governor, and I think it's pulled up what's his name? The Lord Jesus Christ. And he, you know, he's omniscient. He saw it, you know, and His omniscience, that 2000 years, since he slept this pebble, that there would come this Wuhan Weezer. And in spite of it all, he says, to meet weekly, have communion, greet each other with a holy kiss. And, and, and continue to do this, no matter what comes along. And then you've got all these knotless wonder pastors that curled up in the fetal position and what their big diaper and they started obeying against civil magistrates, thinking that they were, you know, adhering to Paul's eating in Romans 13, or Peters in first Peter to when in fact they were they were doing the opposite of what Peter and Paul and the Lord Jesus Christ commands no matter what's going on. And they they decided that they're going to shut their church down, that they're going to have zoom meetings, which is a Chinese app, and they're no friends of Christianity, and you gave him an eyeball into your church in are working, and all the people that are a part of your church, or they went to Facebook, who. So it Facebook, there are no friends of Christians. And so the stupid little Christians in the shriveled nut, little pastors, they started obeying the government Instead of obeying God. And that's why I said in the first chapter, it's like, look, Pastor, you can show me anywhere in the Scripture, where you're to cease and desist communion, where you're two separate, you know, or social distance, you know, six feet from people when you gather together, if you can show me where we're supposed to stop in person preaching and worship, and we're not supposed to love and hug each other anymore. If you can show me one place in Scripture, where Jesus said, look at the bad code comes around. Here's the modus operandi, here's how you operate. Here's how you roll if you can show me anything remotely close to ceasing our regular gathering together, I'll I'll eat a tube sock because it's not there. And we acted like more or not, we, I continued cigars and sermons, you know, no mask, if people were sick, don't frickin come. You know, it's, it's that simple. It's that easy. And, but again, the pastors and all the churches, they fold it up like cheap suits. And I think it's because the hallowed 501 C three that they worship, more than God, they're scared of being fined. They're scared of being put in prison. But um, you know, again, I take my cue from from Christ, and sometimes following him as a political offense, which Peter and Paul found out pretty quickly in the book of Acts. But these guys are terrified. I think they should hand in there, man card. And I think just like we used to recall automotive automobiles back in our day. If they were crappy, and they didn't operate properly, I think there ought to be a great recall of pastures. Gary Duncan  14:09  I agree. I agree. Because we're, the things are different now. Things are totally different in the church. Unbelief and because we've gotten to the point now that they're willing to kill even more people than they've killed in the past, but, I mean, it's so it's so dark and it's so so it's what's the word? manipulative? I don't know. It's it's when they started abusing when they started censoring truth. That's when it really kicked up a big notch for me, and and to watch how people in the church responded to that, you know, I remember hearing comments about you need to stay off Facebook and quit you know, you're supposed to be a Christian and, and you're mouthing off on face book about this or that. And, you know, but we never had discussions about why we were Malvin off and what was the reason about it? You know, the reason was because they were shutting us down. They were shutting truth down. Truth is what you've heard. I think you've probably heard it truth is, is lying in the street getting walked upon, and what are the churches doing? You know, we're still in our buildings, singing Kumbaya, you know, and I'm looking for those kind of guys that are that have thrown down the gauntlet or going after this stuff. You know, Doug Giles  15:33  how many people how many pastors stood up for Arthur, Pulaski and Calgary. When he defied them? Everybody's like, well, what does he know? He's a rogue operators from frickin Poland. He saw that garbage go down when he was a young kid. And then boom, you know, he thinks he's moving to the land of the free and, and the home of hockey. And he goes to Calgary in Canada. And he's like, this is the same crap that we were under the boot of, you know, many moons ago. Gary Duncan  16:01  I love that video that went viral with him throwing him people don't help people out of the church. I'm like, wow, look at that. Doug Giles  16:09  Then you got a pastor who was less demonstrative than Palacky. You've got I think his name's James coats, Passard and Edmonton, Canada, again, leading the charge. And we're supposed to be these big, bold Americans. And you see these Canadian pastors like we're not going to take this crap. Rodney Howard Brown in Tampa, Florida. He didn't shut down. Hillsborough County Sheriff arrested him. Now. He's suing them. So this is going to be interesting. And his church, Gary exploded when he kept it open. Same thing that happened with John MacArthur. And there's other pastors that did it too. Gary Duncan  16:45  Now Louisiana, was somebody in Louisiana, right? You talked about that. In the back of your book, you list out some of these guys in their stores. There's there's Doug Giles  16:54  a lot of guys that that I'm missing. So they're not all Tinker pots, but they're, I'd say the I'd say the the gamut of them are are pretty. I don't know. To me, it's shameful for you to act like that. And the only person man that I saw, I don't know if you saw this video sent it to you. We put it up on Clash. daily.com It's my news portal, a Catholic priest in Arizona. He said, You know what? I I completely, you know, flopped down on my post. I didn't. I didn't serve you, Chris. We shut our church down. I'm ashamed. I'm sorry. I haven't heard a Protestant pastor say that yet. And they should. And cowardice is a sin. And I don't know how I don't care how they slice this. They were a coward to not go against the federal and the state and the local eating. Because the church is this thing, Pastor. It's essential. It is odds eternal purpose. They carried on having church you morons during the bubonic plague. You know, the first the first wave and the second wave. You got 10 will translate into Scripture. During the first hit of it. You got Martin Luther enacting the reform and the second leg of the plague. They didn't stop. And this was a no kidding. No crap plague, where you have three quarters of western and southern Europe croaking. It's not like people are getting a bad cold and they got the sniffles. And so you're gonna shut everything down. That was a test run. Gary, I think they're gonna come back again with COVID You know, 24 or 26? I think it's going to hit around. I don't know, October. Gary Duncan  18:36  No, this year and then 24 two, right. Yeah, Doug Giles  18:40  little mail in balloting, you know, something to stem the red wave that's coming. And, you know, I saw churches, they're like, we're gonna roll up, we're gonna have vaccine, you know, centers on the parking line, you know, get the strange poison injected in you. And if people think that I'm a conspiracy theorist, and I'm full of crap, the mass didn't work. The vaccine didn't work. The boosters didn't work. New York Times now reports it the CDC is like, and we kind of missed it. Frickin Fauci, he, he just resigned and shame. You know, he's getting out because he's gonna get in trouble. Oh, yeah, man, if but the House and the Senate booth man, he's gonna go under this thing called the microscope, and it's not going to be pretty. And but again, but look at it, man. You know, all the Christians are like, well, you know, that was weird. It's not weird. It's cowardice. You need to repent. Right? Gary Duncan  19:39  And it's, it's demonic. It's, it's, you know, I've been doing a little delving back into history. And you can just see the fingerprints of, of the devil in his little minions throughout it, starting from the Adam and Eve. And this. This virus is just a part of the pool. I am. And to me, the churches should be seeing this, they should know the history. And then they should see how it trends transgressors to where we're at today, and not be surprised by some of the stuff but then we're not even addressing it. And that's what what kind of flies over me the most is, if we didn't see it in 2020. Are we going to see it when it comes again? And was that the last stand? You know, that was one of the questions I wanted to ask you is because, you know, because in the back of your book, you go through a lot of verses in Psalms and, and how to pray, you've got one section says, God restores our land. And I'm struggling with with feeling happy about the future, you know, because I don't see people waking up. Doug Giles  20:54  Yeah, I think I think let me bring you over to the rarefied air of hope that I live Gary Duncan  21:01  in. I use the F word because you've got a chapter in there. It's called use the F word. So now. Doug Giles  21:10  Yeah, so I'm a post millennialist. So I don't believe that, you know, the the church is going to get the shitai mushrooms kicked out of us. I don't think that the devil wins in time. I believe that Christ had a significant victory. When was it? Oh, his first coming, or death hell in the grave. He's ascended into heaven. He's king of kings and Lord of lords. We have two thirds of the angelic armies that are BFFs according to Hebrews one, verse 14, we're filled Gary with the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, the indomitable Holy Spirit. And so the United States of liberal acrimony, they don't want gone they publicly booed him kick them out of their party, that the DNC in 2012 So I'm thinking that yeah, they probably tied to I don't know, El Diablo. So if they are, then Satan's a created been, which means that he has no power over the Create tour, because he's, he's a creation in the death, burial, resurrection and ascension. He was stripped of his power. He's got 1/3 of the fallen angels with him that are ever diminishing in power on a regular basis. There is no massive Holy Spirit on their side of the ledger that can empower them. I'm, I'm like looking at Christians like What is your problem? It's like, well, it's never been this bad. Did you not pay attention to the 20th century where we had two world wars, Vietnam Korea, we had the liquidation of hundreds of millions of people through Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Chairman Mao, I mean, that was some absolute crazy demonic liquidation. And we're still here. And so if we're now faced, you know, with again, this full on assault from a anti theistic Marxist radicals than little Christian instead of getting your bags packed and ready to be raptured at any moment, which I don't believe it's going to happen, dig your heels in and frickin fight. But it with the weapons of our warfare like in my book songs of war prayers, it literally kick ass. There's a whole bunch of imprecation mal addictions or curses for those who went to public school that God said to pray against people who are impenitent implacable, and watch God come open up a 64 ounce can of whoop ass on the Zoom. I mean, it's pathetic Gary to hear Christians like Well, that's how it was saying it it's Gary Duncan  23:48  we know how it's gonna end. Yeah, we know how it's gonna end. Well, it's like salt and light never heard that one. Doug Giles  23:54  Right? Hopefully God will reps rapture you out now so that the workers can come out not you. But the crybabies in, they could just take them off the planet. So when you get to work, here's how here's a reason that I have hope man. College football stadiums, hockey stadiums, NFL, you know, stadiums that were quote unquote, woke you know, two or three short years ago are now screaming. Let's go Brandon. That was that's rebellion on a gargantuan level. And I don't know if these people are Christian but here's what they do know that that half dead carrier pigeon. I'm talking sleepy creepy Joe who loves to sniff children. They're not buying it. They're not liking the inflation. They're not liking the open borders. They're not liking the invasion. They're not liking the fentanyl. They're not liking these insane gas prices. And so I think what we're going to see if we can get free and fair elections, that's a big F okay. It If we can get the free and fair elections, I think we're going to see 100 year change in the whole gestalt of America where people have really seen what unbridled Marxism looks like in a first world country. And they flippin hate it. And I've seen people who were a political, or they tilt, you know, center left, I live outside of Austin. So you bump into those guys. Occasionally, I've got friends all over the United States that, you know, that I hunt and fish with some of them, you know, they don't really give a crap about politics. They do now. And you know what, they know what they hate. And it's progressive ism. It's democratic, socialism. And all of a sudden out there, whoa. And Gary, they're turning the little Magic Bus of their family to the right. And they're looking at Trump. They're not looking at, you know, Mitch McConnell, they're not looking at Mike Pence, they're not looking at any of those guys got their status quo. They're part of the problem. And they're looking back to the great disrupter Donald Trump and also, you know, cats like Ron DeSantis, just did an incredible bang up job, my former home state of Florida. Gary Duncan  26:10  Well, I am a precinct captain in our Republican Party in our county here. And part of my pessimism is that we just went through a, an election for a school board. And we had, we had three conservatives and one independent that pretty much will go conservative, running. And it thoroughly they got thoroughly trounced. Okay. And yet, when I look at the numbers, the the raw numbers, I have a precinct, it's 3700 voters. How many Republicans do you think voted out of 3700? Just in my small precinct, or the school board? No, just in election, just pure election, we had cog we had a primary for a Republican Senate Doug Giles  27:04  3% of that? How about Gary Duncan  27:06  49 people? 49 people out of 3700? Doug Giles  27:12  Well, so here's what you can card. Yeah. So here's what they got to do. After they watched the podcast, walk out in their backyard, pick up a sledge hammer and hit themselves in the face with it. Because they're the problem. Yes. And, you know, probably a lot of pastors like, well, you know, we don't want to get into politics. You see, you know, God loves this, and God loves that. And you know, we're just preaching the gospel, and it's like, Listen, man, the Scripture addresses all those salient issues that are dinner table concerns, and we're supposed to disciple nations, not just win people to Christ, and discipling nations, and discipling Christians entails teaching them the biblical worldview. And that deals with economics that deals with taxation that deals with these things called freedom and liberty. And, again, these these little crucify and pusillanimous pastors Gary, that won't touch it. You know, I think I think it's because they're whores. I think they're sold out to money. I think they're sold out to, you know, public approval and political correctness. And I, I would low, I'm not a I'm not a perfect man at all, man. But I'll tell you what I got. I've got a healthy dose of the fear of God, I would love to be in their shoes, when they die, and they rock up to the Bema Seat. And they have to count to God for their congregation, when there are all these draconian overlords and enemies and satanic stuff happening. And they didn't equip their people to think through these salient issues. If it was up to these pastors, unlike our founders and framers, who had the majority of them, had great Christian education, and were solid as a rock in regards to their biblical worldview. If it was up to them, and the founding of the framing of the United States, and they were back then, with their little chicken heart mindset, the United States will be called United States of war suffocation, and we probably wouldn't even have a country because they would have bowed and kiss Snagit to King George's reign, you know, so we've got to, we got to get the black robe regiment back, man. That's why I wrote the book. Dear Christian, your ears full of crap. Try to, you know, give brains and balls or the brothers. And so I'm trying to pull them out of the weeds cause this fights raging, it's hot. God's given us weapons and armor to wax the powers of darkness. And it's, it's it's time for us to blow the dust off of them and use them. Yeah, yeah, Gary Duncan  29:43  I agree. I agree. And I did have one of the pastors it's leading. There's a couple of different black road regiments. But this guy, he's he does kind of a theatrical, theatrical educational thing on black robe regimen and it's it footnoted Doug Giles  30:00  you got to do one that makes fun of the TinkerPop pastors, we could do it. The red necklace che regiment. There's a little dandies, you know? Gary Duncan  30:13  Tell us how you really feel. Just don't hold back. Because no, I mean, I, there's so much that the that I agree with and there's truth in it. And, you know, it's just like you said, you give tons of stories of Paul and, and David and I wouldn't put up with what we just went through. Doug Giles  30:33  Well forget. Okay, let's let's remove, you know, the biblical badass is from the equation, you know, like David and Moses and Paul and Peter and chief dragon slayer Himself, Jesus, the midwives in Exodus one, they wouldn't put up with Pharaohs edicts like, hey, we want you to kill all the babies and like, okay, yeah, we'll do that. And, and they started saving the babies save Moses. And then Pharaoh is like, dude, what do you do? And it's like, well, you know, the Jews, they have big hips, they birth before we can get there and boom, you know, that's so they lied. They did. So check it out. They lied to Pharaoh. they disobeyed Pharaoh. And God said that they feared him. And they feared the Lord and they obeyed God, through disobeying civil magistrates, Pharaoh and lying about why they did what they did. So I don't know if they taught you that in in youth group. But it's in the Bible, you know? Yeah. I love that. It's another thing about Paul and Peter. It's like, Well, Paul wrote Romans 13. You know, we're to obey authorities, like wait, wait a minute, you're to obey civil magistrates, when they praise what's good, and they punish what's evil, exactly. When they punish what's good and praise what's evil, then you're duty bound as a lesser magistrate, as a free person under God, to disobey them and to rebel against them. And if you look at Paul's life, Paul bounced in and out of prison more than Lindsay Lohan did from 2007 to 2013. Peter, he was constantly Gary's constantly in jail. And so if somehow he meant Look, everything that the Caesar says, are everything that the king, you know, dictates you're supposed to do it? Well, then Peter, sure as heck didn't lead by example. And neither did Paul. Because again, like I said, those cats had a lot of mug shots, you know? Gary Duncan  32:30  Yeah, we've, I think we've been through this gracefield Love Field. last two decades, and we've raised a bunch of chocolate soldiers. We've not been through a real war that creates hardships and reliance on God. And so we just don't know, like, like you were saying, you went through the deep parts of was Africa and in the, in the jungles in the dark places. So just like David was learning how to be David, as a kid by killing lions and tigers. When he was tending sheep, there you go. When you kill that one? Doug Giles  33:12  Sure did. Gary Duncan  33:13  Oh, man, what do you use? Doug Giles  33:15  I use a 450 403 inch double rifle. And that thing came to kill us and Oh, man. The one problem I have with the Scripture gearing because everybody asked me like, Do you have any problems with the Bible? Like the creation account or Noah's Ark? Or, you know, virgin birth? And it's like, Well, honestly, I do. And Lord, forgive me. You're listening. I'm sure you are. I have problems believing that David killed one of those kitty cats that 600 pounds with his bare hands. Gary Duncan  33:50  That's pretty big cat. He's for those that are on the podcast. He has a mountain a mountain lion or it's a cat. It's a lion. Yeah, African lion thing weighs what's 1800 pounds or something? Doug Giles  34:03  So the taxidermist put it in we didn't weigh it, but he guesstimate around 606 Gary Duncan  34:10  scary cat. Yeah, Doug Giles  34:12  so anyway, of course, I'm being facetious. I believe that. Yes. You know, through God's power read, you can kill lions and bears with your hands. Gary Duncan  34:20  Right? So you know, it's just where we haven't come through those struggles to really be Doug Giles  34:26  carried the church hasn't the pastors haven't allowed them to parents haven't allowed their kids to struggle. Little Timmy suffering or poor little Tanya, she's going through a rough time. That's fricking life man pony up. You know, you just didn't say if you come to me, it's going to be tiptoe through the tulips are gonna have trouble in this world. He said, But cheer up. I've overcome it. Gary Duncan  34:49  Yeah, yeah. Well, I know you gotta get going here out. Tell us what you think. Let's see, where do we go from here, I guess is a question. You know, Hey, what's your best advice for those that might have surely have gotten offended as I've listened to this, but how to get over that? And to realize the essence of what we're trying to do, we're at war. We're in a all out blitzkrieg war of demonic proportions. And we need to wake up to that. Doug Giles  35:24  Yeah, so that that would be, wait, you know, drink a double espresso and wake the heck up to what's going on. And it's not business as usual, as you just said, this is not normal, you know? And, and for people, it's like, well, this is the new normal. It's like, no, that's some new. What do they call it? The Latin StarCore Torah and the Greek they call it scribble on the Brits call it bollocks. And in Texas, we call it bullcrap. There's no new normal, we always go back to what the Scripture says we operate according to the manual. And, but but practical advice for parents, they're dipping into the podcast right now. Get your kids out of public school, because there are no fans Christianity. If you have a boy in public school, they're going to they're going to shame him away from his masculinity. And we need masculine men under the governance of God who providers, protector centers and heroes. More than Yoko Ono needs a tuning fork. Also, as much as you can get your kids away from social media, Instagram, Facebook, Netflix, all that bullcrap. And I'm not a legalist. But just get them away from that, get them into fishing, hunting, farming, trapping, that kind of stuff, get them out in the outdoors, to where they don't have eye posture, where they're just looking down all the time, get them into something where, you know, they're taking in this incredible creation, and they're being stewards of it. Like we're, you know, God created man to be. And thirdly, well, Gary, if you think that people got offended regarding all the crap that I just said in the last 30 minutes, they will get offended on this, I would pull your kids out. If you've got a church, that's effeminate. If you've got a church, that's therapeutic, if you got a church that curled up in the fetal position of what their big Christian diaper during COVID Leave it and go to home groups. Do some kind of supplemental feeding. We've got tons of great stuff over on our podcast on gels dot lor. Listen to what Gary has to say. But I believe the church man because those aren't leaders, if they don't repent over what they did during COVID. If they're not addressing the Martin Luther said this he goes if I don't address the most salient issues that concern my flock, and what's going on right here and right now from a biblical perspective, than Luther said, all my preaching the sin Ezekiel had put to him this way in Ezekiel three God says if you see bad crap going down on the planet, and you don't say diddly squat about it, I'm gonna hold you accountable, just as you just just as much as the people who have sinned. The priest, the Prophet, the pastor, who does not blow the trumpet. He said, I'll hold you accountable for their blood. It'll be on your head. So have a good night's sleep. Yeah, no, no, I Gary Duncan  38:18  agree. I mean, I'm, I'm there. I left my church of 1215 years. And it's kind of you know, it's it's a wilderness define those that are the remnant church, those that are the warriors. There are a few and far and in between. So I just I don't have the tolerance to hear the happy clappy, you know, we're in a war we're being shot at we're being murdered we're being and if it's not addressed or brought up or any kind of just acknowledgement of where we're at. I'm done. I'm done with it. Doug Giles  38:57  How many how many churches addressed the issue of the raid on Mar a Lago? Gary Duncan  39:02  Not a single one? Probably. Of course. I can't say because I haven't been in all of them. Doug Giles  39:07  Yeah, I guarantee a lot of them danced around it that didn't happen Look over there. Hey, guys, are you want to do you want to prosper today? Hey, you want to you know feel good about justice? Like what are you talking about? You're taking her Gary Duncan  39:21  next we're next you know, we won't wake up till they come for us and the rest of us will already be taken other other measures but Doug Giles  39:33  it's you know, it's time for the men to come in the in the women of God the midwives of Exodus one it's time for the David's the Elijah is the Moses all those guys you know, to come to the forefront. Look at the look at the cat that God used in order to steer this. The state of the ship or the ship of the state. Correct Donald Trump. He's gonna kick out weirdos, man. And that's why exactly that's why God's pick you that's why Pick Me because we're fricking weird. But you know what? We love them. We love his word. Not afraid. Try. Yep, Gary Duncan  40:07  you got it, man. Doug, it's been a pleasure. I know you got to run and his book. Dear Christians, your fear is full of crap. What's up? I'm done reading this one. Give me what's your next best one that I need to be written? Doug Giles  40:22  Yeah. So if you haven't read Psalms of war prayers that literally kick ass that's been my all time bestsellers. 26 weeks at number one on Amazon. You know, sad to say that it's dropped to the top 10 After nearly a year, being on Amazon, that's a must read. It will change the way that you pray forever. And I've got a new book coming out October 1. And it's a devotional for man. It's called the wild man devotional. 50 days. Or we're dudes to plow through what was around in my little 10 brain? That's good. Gary Duncan  40:57  Yeah, cuz I heard y'all talk about on your podcast. So yeah, check out his podcast as well with warriors and wild man. And, Doug. It's been a pleasure, man. I could. We could talk all day. But this has been great. Appreciate your time. 

228: In dieser kurzen Episode stelle ich dir vier kleine Tools vor, die ich täglich benutze – weil sie mir in meinem Online-Business-Alltag einfach unglaublich viel Zeit sparen: SnagIt, Loom, TextExpander und 1Password. Was die Tools können und wie sie vielleicht auch dein Online-Business einfacher machen können, erfährst du in der Episode. Alle meine Angebote (inkl. Freebies): https://katharina-lewald.de/alles Bewirb dich jetzt für Launchmagie®: https://katharina-lewald.de/lm-bewerbung/?source=podcastapp Komm an mein Lagerfeuer (nur für KundInnen): https://www.facebook.com/groups/358687976378387 

I don't normally do tech reviews, but I wanted to share about this brand new tool I'm trying for the first time. It's an audio recording and editing tool called, Audiate by TechSmith -- the same company that created Camtasia and SnagIt, both tools I love!Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.

Many years ago, a good friend of mine spent over five thousand dollars on a digital recording system featuring ProTools's latest and greatest technology. My friend had never had any experience with digital recording, although he'd had decades of experience with analog. His sole reason for purchasing the system he did was that the salesman told him it was the industry standard, which was a true statement. He set out to learn how to use his new system and ran into obstacle after obstacle. Months after purchasing it, he had yet to have recorded even a few seconds of audio. He was beyond frustrated. Yes, this system was industry standard, but it was intended to be used by professional level technicians, not novices. He never was able to make the system work. We need to treat claims of industry standard with an eye of caution and suspicion as DIY entrepreneurs. Just because professionals within an industry can make something work doesn't mean it's your best option as a new user with more to do on your plate than learn how the software works. Here are a few platforms I encourage beginners to avoid: ** Adobe Creative Suite, except possibly Acrobat Pro ** Avid - Final Cut Video and ProTools Audio ** WordPress - yes, I'm saying it. There are easier and better options. ** Corel Graphics Suite - Long my favorite, cast aside for Canva I've already mentioned Canva as my go-to for graphic design and social media management. Add TechSmith Camtasia for video recording and editing with Snagit for excellent screen capture, but make sure your computer has the specs to handle it. For your website, if you don't want to have to hire someone to set it up for you, I have been happy with both Wix and, surprise - Blogger. If you don't need the bells and whistles, go with the simplest setup and design. #industrystandard #DIY #solopreneur

Microsoft OneNote improves every year and continues to be an indispensable tool for keeping track of varied and disparate bits of information. Even better, it's free for anyone to use on Windows, MacOS, Android, or IOS devices -- as well as on the web. In Short Circuits: Although SnagIt is what I consider the best screen capture application, there's ShareX for those who can't justify SnagIt's cost. The open-source application is surprisingly robust, but it runs only on Windows. • A listener asked if I had a list of applications and services that have received five-cat ratings. I didn't, but now I do -- even though the list goes back only to the start of 2017. Twenty Years Ago (only on the website): Burning DVDs was time consuming, expensive, and prone to failure in 2002. Now it's none of those.

In this episode about SnagIt, Jeff and Mike talk about screenshots before their time, a family business, and a tech product in 2022 that still offers perpetual licenses.

In this episode, Richard talks to Shabad Chawla, the founder of London-based MSP techsapiens. Its managed service framework is based on the UK's Cyber Essentials scheme and other relevant industry standards. This allows Shabad to offer a profitable niche service. Shabad tells Richard about the tech stack they use in techsapiens, how they use the Keepabl solution and their relationship with the team there. He also explains why he believes GDPR is an opportunity for MSPs. They also discuss how MSPs can find the best vendor partners to work with and why techsapiens focuses on helping clients with Cyber Essentials accreditation. Plus, Shabad shares the best and worst things about running an MSP, what he gets from MSP peer communities, and how he sees the future of the industry.

Steve interviews John Jonas, founder of onlinejobs.ph, which is a Philippines based job board providing virtual assistants to businesses internationally. It is a simple recruitment process that enables the user to source suitable and skilled workers and for job seekers from the Philippines to find the right online employment. He also teaches how to hire Virtual Assistants and how to make the system work well for your outsourcing. KEY TAKEAWAYS The culture of the Philippines is honesty, loyalty, good technology and internet access, low salaries, good English language skills, they appreciate the good working conditions offered by working at home and are glad to work for foreign bosses. To get the right assistant for you John recommends checking out Www.OneVAAway.com. It is a comprehensive guide to getting the right VA for you. Define correctly the role that you want to hire for. Hire someone for a job that you already know how to do that you can teach to someone else. Search for the skill and find out how much you have to pay and if the skills exist to fulfill your role. When you get your applicants you will find that if you have advertised for a general position, like a VA, you will get hundreds of applicants. If you don’t feel free to contact possible recruits. Use email to get an initial interview going. In this way you can bypass the initial shyness common amongst the people of the Philippines. The amount and the quality of training and feedback is important. Its part of the culture to expect on the job training. They see it as their boss investing in them. Also, they require regular feedback on their work. Software like Snagit can help you provide feedback easily as it records your screen and video of you so you can communicate not only training but notes, corrections and congratulations on your VA’s work. Building trust is essential with your VA’s so you can recognise and communicate with them on what is occurring in their lives so you understand any potential problems. BEST MOMENTS ‘We also advocate the Philippines as a great place but I wanna hear it from you. What is it about the Philippines particularly that you think makes it a great place for people in The States or U.K or Europe or whatever to actually hire people from?’ - Steve ‘In the Philippines they look up to foreign bosses as opposed to other cultures where like “oh, my stupid American boss”, you know?’ – John ‘Hope fully you’re gonna work with this person for the next 15 years. I didn’t say this already but the first person I ever hired in the Philippines in 2005 still works for me today.’ – John ‘If I send them an email today and they respond in 4 or 6 or 10 hours that’s great. If it takes them 2 or 3 days to respond, well, the chances of them taking 2 or 3 days to respond after I’ve hired them, it’s high, and that doesn’t work for me.’ – John ‘I hate meetings. I despise meetings. So in this they get to hear my voice and sometimes they get to see me because I’ll include myself in the corner of it which is super easy. And that builds trust, just them hearing my voice and getting to know my personality.’ – John ‘If you don’t do that, if you don’t build that trust that we were talking about before and give people a platform and understand that this is a human being like your saying, they have just the same problems that we have.’ - Steve ABOUT THE GUEST John has helped thousands of entrepreneurs succeed in their business by doing outsourcing differently. He created and runs OnlineJobs.ph, the largest website for finding Filipino virtual workers, with almost 2,000,000 Filipino resumes and over 300,000 employers from around the world using it. He works about 17 hours per week, choosing to spend his time with his family rather than working GUEST RESOURCES For your recruiting needs ; www.onlinejobs.ph Putting together an ad?; www.VAJobPostTemplates.com Guidance on how to source your new VA? ; Www.OneVAAway.com VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/ Website: https://systemsandoutsourcing.com/welcome-1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drsteveday The RIGHT Assistants For Your Business by Dr Steve Day http://bit.ly/sys-10 ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked. He switched to running his businesses remotely and after totally nailing this concept he decided to spend his time helping other small business owners do the same. Steve’s been investing in property since 2002, has a degree in Computing, and worked as a doctor in the NHS before quitting to focus full-time on sharing his systems and outsourcing Methodology with the world. He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants. Most business owners are overwhelmed because they don't know how to create systems or get the right help. Our systems and outsourcing Courses and coaching programme will help you automate your business and work effectively with affordable virtual assistants. That way, you will stop feeling overwhelmed and start making more money. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We gave Jess the week off (don't worry, she'll be back next week!) so Jason interviewed Andy Owen, who is a video producer and corporate YouTuber (it's a thing, really) for TechSmith. You may be familiar with a few of TechSmith's products like Camtasia and Snagit, and if you are, Andy's a part of the reason why.  We talk about what it's like going from working for yourself (remotely) to working in an office, and back to working remotely. That includes setting up your space, managing your time, and a few of the tools you can use to stay productive.  Be sure to check out Andy's insightful LinkedIn posts by visiting his profile.  Andy also mentioned the Self Control app  Camtasia (TechSmith's video editor) TechSmith YouTube channel

Jeg har et ambivalent forhold til såkaldte sociale medier. På den ene siden synes jeg fx at Twitter er et fantastisk sted (i hvert fald i Danmark) at følge nyhedsstrømmen og et udvalg af mennesker jeg føler jeg har ting til fælles med, på den anden side er jeg blevet lidt junkie-agtig, og er nødt til at give mig selv begrænsninger for ikke hele tiden at sidde og tjekke nyhedsfeeds, Instagram-billeder eller hvad det nu er, når jeg har mobilen fremme. Til gengæld har jeg for et par år siden deaktiveret min Facebook-profil, så dér slipper jeg for at bruge tid. Anyway, Trine-Maria Kristensen er en af Danmarks grand not-so-old ladies når det gælder sociale medier - hun har blogget, tweetet, postet siden starten af nullerne, og holdt utallige foredrag og workshops om både de gode og dårlige sider af de digitale netværk. Nu har Trine-Maria netop skrevet en bog om nogle af sine erfaringer - den hedder “Få mere ud af (den tid du spilder på) sociale medier” og udkommer på Gyldendal d. 5. september. I bogen fortæller hun blandt andet om hvordan man med fordel kan blive lidt mere bevidst om hvordan man bruger især Facebook i hverdagen, og det er en proces der begynder med at se lidt nærmere på hvilken personlighedstype, man egentlig er. Vi får - selvfølgelig, det er jo work.flow - også tid til at tale lidt om Trine-Marias bogskrivningsproces :-) Links trinemaria.dk - indgangen til stort set alt det du gerne vil vide om Trine-Maria Bogen er udgivet på Gyldendal Business - og Camilla Larsen-Schmidt på forlaget skal have et stort skulderklap!

Solving Your Own Problems (CFFL 490) Transcript: Jack Butala:                         Jack Butala with Jill DeWit. Jill DeWit:                            Hi. Jack Butala:                         Welcome to the show today. In this episode Jill and I talk about solving your own problems. I can't wait, actually, to talk about this. Jill DeWit:                            Oh, I have a lot to say. Jack Butala:                         This is a Jill show, by the way. Jill DeWit:                            This is a Jill show. Jack Butala:                         Hey, before we get into it let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit:                            Okay. Steve wrote and asked, "Anyone have a marketing template they can share? Getting ready on my first one." Yay! "I'm under contract to close on my first deal and I want to start pre-marketing the property. It is recommended to systemize, and I'm wondering if anyone has a template that they use they'd be willing to share to speed me along and show me the best ways to organize the property data. Also was wondering if Snagit is the preferred way to do screen captures and any other recommendations on the latest tools for creating ads." Jack Butala:                         Go ahead. Jill DeWit:                            I think that the best template is the one we use in Land Pin. Jack Butala:                         Exactly. That's exactly how I was going to answer this. Jill DeWit:                            This is the reason we set that up. Steve is one of our members and users of Land Pin, so he has access to Land Pin. So Steve, follow that. That's really what you want to do. It gives you all the different things that you need to make ... When you post a property in Land Pin you have to check all the boxes and make sure that you don't forget to mention power, if there is any, and what kind of access there is and size of the property and your phone number. It's funny because we laugh. Some of these things you think are so basic, but we've all forgot them. I remember one a while back before we had Land Pin one of our members was real proud. He posted this property and he had put a note there for all his peers to say, "Hey, guys. I'm not getting any calls. Can you guys look at this and let me know what you guys think?" They said, "Yeah, you forgot your phone number." That's why he wasn't getting any calls. Seriously. It was really funny. It's like, oh, whoops. There's no way for anybody to reach you to buy your property. Anyway, it's kind of funny. That's what I would say. Then use that as a template as you post at other places until ... Do you want to explain what's coming, Jack? Until the future of Land Pin. I'll fill this in. I'll let Jack know. Just kidding. Jack Butala:                         Yeah. Jill DeWit:                            Right now when you post on Land Pin, with the push of a button it goes to all sorts of social media. There's like five different ways there, as long as you have accounts and you link your accounts, which is really easy. Jack Butala:                         Super simple. Jill DeWit:                            It'll automatically post at all those places. Okay, check. Then, what's going to be added later on to Land Pin is all kinds of other things like do you want it on Craigslist? Do you want it on eBay? Do you want it on- Jack Butala:                         Land And Farm. Jill DeWit:                            ... Land And Farm? Jack Butala:                         LandWatch. Jill DeWit:                            All those things. Those things will be added later on. Jack Butala:                         If, by the way, you are not a member and you're in the business and you have property you want to sell, on Monday ... This show will air on the 23rd, Friday, June 23rd.

Join Dan, Sean and Chris as they catch up on the last few weeks. Just because we take a break doesn't mean Google does! Meet Spaces, Google new tool to solve some problem we didn't know we had. Slides gets a Q&A feature. Yay! We talk VR, Tiltbrush, Chrome based alternatives to sophisticated software tools, GBoard, and more. We say goodbye to Snagit, and ruminate on what might happen at Google I/O tomorrow.
