What's that awful groaning sound?? Nope, it's not us talking about the Olympics, it's Japanese horror!Lindsay Nelson tells us all about the world of scary Japanese movies, and seven days later, we die.Ollie recommends a battery powered river cruise that has run into a familiar problem. Bobby used to like that quote about how on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero, but now he's worried that the long enough timeline isn't long enough.Topics discussed on this episode range from: Bobby and Ollie's spec script about zombie kappas Much to Brian's dismay, some brief Olympic developments including:Naomi OsakaSkateboardingJapan medalsHow the Olympics works to conflict usHeatstroke athletes The extent of the success of JBRC's first ever video content Other, better, Ollie Horns What Lindsay's "Haunted Japan" Class covers What sets Japan apart from English language horror, and how those differences are surprisingly western-influenced Why we watch horror, and how it might reflect our privilege? What Lindsay expected vs what she got in terms of her enjoyment of horror during the pandemic How mainstream IS horror in Japan? How successful is it at the box office? A couple of different answers to the question "Why study Japanese horror?" What Japanese horror teaches us about the social issues Japan grapples with including:social isolationsingle motherhoodbullyingsuicideanxiety over new media/social media How the new media issues are reflected in the story as well as the production of modern Japanese horror Bobby discovering that his ideas are sequel quality Ollie's anxiety about the word "kaidanbanashi," or ghost stories How Japanese horror interacts with Japanese daily life, and the places in which we feel safe How Japanese horror that features bullying as an inciting incident can function more as revenge fantasies than straight up scare-fests Get access to the extras by supporting the podcast for less than $1 an episode by becoming a member at http://buymeacoffee.com.Topics discussed on this week's BETSU BETSU 1-on-1 extras include:OLLIE SECTION: The movie about the suicide forest, and why you shouldn't publicize a suicide hotspot How that movie was actually shot in SERBIA!

Listen on your favourite podcast app like iTunes or Spotify. As you start to think about how you can deliver an incredible service to your clients with online programs, there is an incredible feature that can make that program extra amazing - and that is incorporating audio. Even though I come from a background in health science, I have studied program planning and focused on what can be done to ensure your clients start and complete their program, so they get the results they're looking for. Today, we have another special guest, Lindsay Padilla, Co-Founder of Hello Audio. She shares about her company and how to use her audio tool, which we currently use in The Leveraged Practice Program for our clients. Lindsay and I go deeper into audio and how you can use audio structurally in your business, whether it's within your program or in how you market it. Here's what we talked about: Lindsay shares about her background, what she was doing before becoming a business owner and the why behind the creation of her company, HelloAudio (and the steps her husband and her took to make it happen!) What her experience as a college professor teaching mostly online courses made her realize (and how there was a need for more support for her students!) How as an online program provider, you need to understand programming to provide a better student experience (and have people complete your program!) How audio can help reduce the overwhelm and lack of time that people may feel as they go through a program (and how they often start to build habits around when they listen!)  What Lindsay sees about the future of audio (and how it ties with focusing on relationship marketing!) The number one way that you are going to help someone be successful and get the result that they want and need is by going through your entire program. Sharing your content in audio format can make it easier for your clients to access it and increase the chance that they show up, make progress, move through and complete your program! About Lindsay Dr. Lindsay Padilla is an ex-community college professor who accidentally started a business while on the tenure track. Now, as the CEO and co-founder of the Hello Audio software, which takes your content and creates private audio feeds to make learning on the go much  easier for your people, Lindsay challenges online industry norms of unfinished courses and unconsumed content with her product.  All of her business ideas were born out of her tenure-track years teaching adults online at a community college, the ridiculous amount of learning she's done in all things education, and the years spent growing her course creation business online.

Have you ever thought about creating and teaching an online course, but thought it was just too much to take on? Or that there would be so much involved that you just couldn’t do it? Today we are talking with Dr. Lindsay Padilla the mastermind behind the Build a Better Beta Program. Lindsay’s program is all about creating a simple Beta course with minimal tech. Let’s get into it! Rather than starting with something new, Lindsay built her business from the in person classroom as a sociology professor at a community college.She recognized that entrepreneurs weren’t sure how to teach, organize content, and what technology that they needed in order to be able to deliver content. This led her to create her signature “Build a Better Beta” program. It’s all about how to launch a course as quickly/easily as possible with as little tech as possible. She is excited to help people who have been sitting on courses too long because of all the things they thought they had to have ready in order to launch their program. You grow your course based on the feedback. From the beta, not from what you think someone else wants to learn. You just need to put the idea out there and work collaboratively and iteratively with your first set of students. When someone comes to me and says, “Jaime, we need to get this out there.” My first response is to ask them how many phases that is launch. We need to get phase 1 out of the way as quickly as possible so we can learn: what our students actually want where they get hung up where we need to expand and evolve It’s funny, I never realized it before but as Lindsay pointed out, most of the time courses created by marketers are basically textbooks. That is, they are material but they are not true learning experiences and don’t reside in a construct for completion and implementation. “I believe courses are true learning experiences.”- Lindsay Padilla Lindsay wants to change this perception and create an actual learning environment similar to what you would get in a college course. In this space, there are multiple factors including the textbook. She’s reframing the idea of what it means to TEACH a course. If she gave you a textbook and said go learn this and then she tested you in a couple weeks how good would you do if all you had was a textbook? As you heard, Lindsay called me out on using the term “Minimum Viable Product” because it’s a software development term. A better beta is more like a minimum awesome course. What makes it awesome is that it’s an intimate co-creative experience. Lindsay’s program teaches her students to not pre record anything or pick a platform until you have live taught in a workshop setting because it helps you to really show up for the people that pay for your expertise. This gives you the most flexibility and allows you to truly listen to your students in a LIVE setting. You are allowed to charge money for this kind of experience. Phase one should really only be how can I get my students from point A to point B. You and your expertise are what is valuable NOT how fancy your graphics are. It’s truly about you and your students. We all know there are so many tech options out there for virtual courses. Most of the ones the gurus are using are going to work. But you can get stuck in the weeds with this little detail of which platform they should be on. I see people crowdsourcing on social media all the time... asking things like what platform they should be on. This is where I pop in and say, “Can we have a conversation about this?” If I know where someone wants to be in 6 months to a year I can easily suggest 2-3 pieces of software to help them get there. But if I’m one comment in a thread of 400 comments, my value isn’t demonstrated. Those people are no more clear than when they asked the question in the group. What is the fastest way to get someone from “what they want” to “seeing the result”? In this online space, a lot of our validation comes from outside. The issue with this is that it puts doubt in the minds of people who really do have information that they could teach -- they ask themselves questions like am I qualified enough? Lindsay has found that her customers are largely already very credible. Therefore, the thing that is truly going to move their business forward is starting to serve people. Lindsay and I both see would-be online creators put tiny decisions like choosing a platform in their way just so they can avoid the real true hard work of putting yourself out there and selling something. People are trying to avoid rejection. Predictably, the biggest fear is often that nobody is going to buy your course. Which leads to a mindset spiral.. If someone doesn’t buy our course then the knowledge we are offering isn’t valuable. It’s not possible to avoid these fears. But we do need minimize the emotional/mental toll regarding the results. And then we can realize that this result is not connected to what we actually know and our value. We are literally JUST testing out a product. If no one buys your course,your material is likely not the issue. It’s likely the marketing message not the content!! The mindset of running a beta is that you are collecting data. If you sit around deciding which platform to use then you never collect that data. Time is money. You just need to start teaching... that’s where the value is. Let’s go back to the textbook reference. The teachers who teach classes are excellent teachers because they are teaching what they know and they are using the textbook as a reference. I could write your textbook and you could teach and we could not ever have any contact. But you might be far more successful than I am at TEACHING the material because you have made a connection with your audience. You have sold them into your philosophy on how to interpret this material. This is something that sticks out to me. I work in the back end of a lot of courses making sure that everything fits together so the content is delivered correctly and on schedule. Technology can either enhance or ruin good teaching because it is the tool to create the experience. When Lindsay is recommending tools for her students she keeps it as minimum as possible. She tends to recommend things like: Google Docs- workbooks, lesson planning, being able to edit the doc live on the fly when something comes to you. Using Google Docs creates flexibility in the first stages. Zoom Pro- making sure you can record a video and be a workshop style thing when delivering content. Getting the package that allows you to livestream is great if you can do it. “If the textbook is the content you are creating, then Facebook is the classroom where they can talk to each other and get to know you a little better.”- Lindsay Padilla Lindsay likes to stream the workshops directly into the Facebook group for a beta course. This way there is no need to worry about recording video and uploading and details like that. Another benefit is that some students can’t attend a Zoom event because of their internet or download situation but can easily (and often LOVE) attending on Facebook. And this also allows the Facebook post to house the session comments. That opens up engagement! Everything that Lindsay teaches in Build a Better Beta is designed to make it easy for students/clients to have success and help you improve on your initial ideas. Yup -- we’re going there → One of the messiest aspects of online courses is collecting payment. In the early days of “Build a Better Beta” before moving to MemberVault, Lindsay taught people to use a Paypal.Me link. But when it came to setting up a payment plan or subscription, it got a little messy. Then she started working with MemberVault. This platform does some really great things. AND all of the premium features are available for you to use up to 50 members. I ran a full series on MemberVault which you can access here. Most of Lindsay’s students Beta programs are less than 50 people. Membervault has been such a game changer because of all the integrations it allows. It also allows you to create payment plans for people who need that and you just send them a link. It’s so easy! I was seriously blown away when Lindsay dropped this brilliance on the podcast. This use of MemberVault is genius. She teaches her students to use one element of MemberVault and not worry about the other {amazing} features. This doesn’t differ from one of my core values → keeping a very streamlined tech stack. That means keeping as few pieces of tech as possible. It’s also important to implement everything you possibly can with that system. What Lindsay is telling her students to do in phase one is to focus on and implement: the payments work on your relationships teaching what makes value Then once that phase is done, if your clients wanted this course off Facebook you put your content into MemberVault because they are already using it for their payments. I am not saying you have to implement everything in a system all at once. Rather, it’s more that have to exhaust that piece of software until it no longer serves you. I really like the fact Lindsay does a stair step approach when it comes to MemberVault like you would do with any other piece of software. Zoom - A powerful low cost solution Zoom is a very powerful tool. Zoom Webinar is the addon that allows you to livestream into Facebook. A Zoom meeting cannot be streamed, but a Zoom Webinar can. Using this addon, you are streamlining it for the user without adding a lot of complexity for the teacher. It does take the price of the tool from $15 a month to $55 a month. Zoom makes it really easy to remove this addon when you are done with your beta and add it back in when you’re ready to do another round of webinars or run your course again. . Most Beta program for Lindsey’s students are about 6-8 weeks long. Lindsay will ask her clients, “Is it worth investing $80 so you don’t have to do all the downloading, uploading, and allowing students to live attend?” For Lindsay it is because she knows the time it takes to do all those things. Lindsay teaches people to organize their Facebook group by units and modules. Facebook becomes the true classroom. It will have the workshop that she taught live, the Q&A session she did separately, and maybe some relevant posts from her students all in one place. Live streaming your course into Facebook allows you organize your content so that someone can come in and quickly get the material they need. It’s saving her time to spend the $80 and she can turn it off really easily. “Paying for ease of use in tech...you are buying back your time.”- Lindsay Padilla There is a whole component that Facebook has added to their groups that Lindsay is taking advantage of to make it easier for her students. She is using a Facebook Group in a way that allows the modules. Facebook has become a great tool to recreate a classroom online without a huge amount of overhead. Lindsay just told the entire Tech of Business audience that they can launch a course and spend around $200. What a way to just get started! Maybe it’s time for me to create a course!

This week on Girls on the Sideline, Lindsay shares her experiences of the Savage Race – an extensive obstacle course filled with fitness activities and water and mud pits (think American Ninja Warrior… plus mud pits!). The girls also discuss what Mick Leach is up to these days and what caused him to get fined a whopping $10,000 and a recap of the NFL and college football games. The girls also touch on the epic Penn State vs Ohio State game this week, Odell Beckham Jr’s latest NFL fine, and share their thoughts on whether the Raiders calling Las Vegas home again would be a good thing, or a bust.   Highlights of Today’s Episode: What is the Savage Race, what obstacles are involved, and how Lindsay felt after completing the race? Could Ol’ Miss drop out of the Top 25 ranks? Who is Alabama’s real competition now? Mick Leach – the coach famous for locking ESPN football analyzer, Craig James’ son in a dark closet back in 2009 – gets fined $10,000 this week by Pac-10 for his comment about Arizona State “stealing signs.” Is NFL player Odell Beckham Jr going over the edge? He now owes the NFL roughly $96,000 this season due to fines! The NFL Penalty Fine policy – is there any rhyme or reason to it? Any standardization? What Lindsay and Whitney think about the possibility of the Raiders going back to Las Vegas?   This Week’s Les Miles Coach on the Hot Seat Award: Whitney’s Pick ­– Charlie Strong – for leading his team to the 4th straight loss game while on the road. Lindsay’s Pick – NFL’s Chip Kelly – is he in over his head with the 49ers?   Lindsay’s MVP & LVP of the Week: This week’s MVP award goes to – 1) Ryan Fitzpatrick, the former Harvard QB that signed a $12-Million contract the night before training camp started with the New York Jets, and the epic “football mic drop” events that followed, 2) Lindsay’s Savage Race Team This week’s LVP award goes to – 1) The Browns QB position – how many QB’s do you need? 2) Oklahoma Head Coach & Defensive Coach, Bob Stoops for the mindblowing lack of defense on the field.   Whitney’s MVP & LVP of the Week: This week’s MVP award goes to – the elderly Cubs fan, Dorothy Farrel, who has held season tickets for the Cubs since 1984 and the awesome way she plans to celebrate the World Series.

Conceived by an Iron Man athlete looking for a plant-based, whole food alternative to nutritional supplements, Vega describes its products as “the future of optimal health”. Enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike, Vega’s products attract athletes of almost every sport looking for a more natural diet to help with training and ongoing health. Vega’s approach to customer service on social media is to listen first, both to those who @mention the brand and those talking about it without a direct @mention. The team responds with humor (food puns are a favorite), imagery, and a friendly tone that leaves a smile on the face of even the most ardent critic. Lindsay Jesseau is the Director of Customer Experience at Vega, and she – like several other of our guests – was a customer before becoming an employee. Lindsay talked with me and Dan Moriarty for Episode 6 of the Focus on Customer Service Podcast. Some of the most quotable moments of this episode include: • “It’s not just about having a competitive advantage over your direct competitors; the consumers expect a response through social now, so it’s looking at ‘are we as good as the best companies out there?’ and that’s really how we set our standards.” • “Empower your front line. Don’t punish mistakes.” • “Consumers are reaching out through Twitter, and they want to be responded to and resolved in that channel.” • “Respond to both positive and negative comments. The negative ones are really your biggest learning opportunity.” Don’t forget that we are always looking for great brands to be featured on the Focus on Customer Service Podcast. To nominate a brand that has awesome customer service on social media, just tweet using the hashtag #FOCS.
