In this episode, we speak with James Hicks, the engineering technologist and creator of HicksNewMedia. An organization driven by discovery that focuses on supporting businesses and individuals in fully leveraging technology to increase their digital presence. James' Links: ⭐️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhicks/ ⭐️ https://www.youtube.com/c/JamesHicks/ ⭐️ https://hicksnewmedia.com Merch Store: https://social.hicksnewmedia.com/en-eur/ ⭐️ Get a discount here for James' merch using the Code: HMN50 Well, hello, welcome to the creative amplifier show where each week we're celebrating each every other week. I should say we're celebrating Ecamm content creators and we're sharing their journey and their insights. And I'm Lisa, and I'm here with my, my two guys here, Mr. Mark, Mr. Neil. How are you guys? We're good. We're having a bit of a trauma, but we made it. Yeah, we are. We're having a little, we had some gremlins in the house, uh, little technical difficulties, but Mark is working it out on do it. Yep. Yeah. I normally host the show but the internet went out this afternoon and yeah I've got about 20 hamsters with wheels keeping the 4G going and coming in as best we can. He's a trooper. So everybody's coming into my production today which is Insanity Portugal and we are on Starlink and this is the most amount of guests I've had in one production so fingers crossed everybody. We have a few comments. Um, if you want us to go to that real quick, should we have a look at the comments first? All right, we have, who do we have here? We have Keith. Keith. Oh, it always does that. Let's make it full size. All right. Hi, Keith. Thanks for joining us. Hello, Dan. You're always here. Hey there. Hey Dan. And, uh, well, you know who's coming up soon. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. I know. All right. So, let's go back. There you go. So, how's everybody? All, all good? We are good. Aside from our gremlins. We've had a busy week. We've had a good week. It's been fun. It's great to be here again, seeing all these wonderful, shining faces. So yes, it's been great so far. Well, yes, Mark. Oh, he's be, because there's, there's, there's such a delay. It's like a upbeat, uh, but, but be Okay. So I might just keep quieter than normal . Okay. Do a beat can put your hand up if you wanna, if you wanna speak. Yeah, exactly. We have to do it like that. It's all anyway. Or, or do a beatbox like you were about to do. So that's I'll stuff. That's fun too. Let's just get into our guests now. Yeah, let's do that. Let's bring our guests. We are very, very excited to have Mr. James Hicks. with us today who, hello James. Oh my goodness. What, who let this guy on the screen? Um, what, what to do y'all? How y'all doing? Okay. Yeah, we're good. We're very happy to have you here. Yeah, we made it work. Thank you. I appreciate it. You're doing it. Yeah. You know, Neil sending me messages saying, Hey, you know, the link doesn't work. What? You know, send me another link. Wait a minute. That link doesn't work too. Come on now. What's, what's going on with the creative amplifiers, but you know, here's the lesson in that, uh, you working through all the issues, you're finding a alternative means of getting it done. We got, we got star link. We got, we got AOL going some kind of way. We're going to have a scream and we won't have a show. So I'm just glad to be here. We're happy to have you here. And this is what live is all about. It's the unpredictable. It is. That's all it. We wouldn't have it any other way. We would not have it. Yeah. That's part of the fun of it. It's like, it's the Tetris of making it work. Right. So let's just get right into it. You are in engineering. Who's laughing at me? Engineering technologist. I want to know about your journey because you have a, you have a big history in tech and, and other things. So tell us a little bit about that. Wow. Okay. Born in 1916. No, okay. I was like, oh, I was like, did he freeze? Did I say something wrong? I was like, how far we want to go back? Uh, been in enterprise technology the majority of my career. Uh, started. Back in the telecom world, so a GTE data systems before a lot of you were probably even born. Um, then I moved over to Hewlett Packard, gave HP 20 years, I gave Apple 10 years. I literally still have Steve Jobs quote in front of me in my studio right here talking about the crazy ones, talking about put a dent in the universe. And I live that out every single day when I do this thing, press record, turn these lights on and have those conversations. Uh, 10 years with Dell, so again, around enterprise technology and really from an engineering perspective. That's why I have called myself an engineering technologist. The idea is to allow folks to have and utilize me as a resource to break down the barriers of understanding technology and how it really is infiltrating our mindsets today, right? Either from a personal perspective or for a professional perspective. So I'm just here to Help. I'm here to heckle from the back of the room and you know, I'm here to bring some value. I hope and you do. I've, you know, I've been watching all that you do and I know now you're the founder of Hicks, um, new media. And I'd love to know more about that and how that helps the, you know, what you do helps the community and take it away. So I started Hickstu. media about, wow, this is actually 11 years now. And the premise back in the day was really around digital consulting and technology publishing. So it started with WordPress. I'm huge in the WordPress community. I know the leaders of the automatic. Open source project, um, you know, Matt Mullenweg and things of that nature. So, I've, I've gone from writing things in, in text and, and blog format to really I'd say if there was any blessing of the pandemic when the world stopped, that was when I really got into the video piece, right? Being able to actually, again, I say turn these lights on, press record and tell stories with folks and have that, that conversation about things that matter and things that resonate because I can put anyone on the other side of this camera and they may say, I don't, they don't have anything interesting to say, but give me 15 minutes with you and we can have a conversation and hopefully it's above the noise level. Hopefully it's actually, again, it's positive. Hopefully it actually will cause folks to have a move to action. So again, so. Tech, technical publishing, technical consulting, digital publishing, all this stuff from a contextual perspective for about 11 years. And then really since the pandemic was at 20, God, when did the world stop? 2020? 2020. That's when I, uh, that's when I went all, for the most part, all video. Yeah, it went all video and, and really talk to people within my industry, right? So the business of technology, talk to people within my industry who are either designing systems, be it either hardware, software services and things of that nature about how we can leverage technology to be better. So this, okay, so what you just said is a reflection of your tagline, which is, I want to get it right, to enlighten, entertain, and educate. Which is what you're doing. Oh my god, she's done her research. I love that. I told you. You just got cool points right there. Take the cool points I gave to Mark earlier and put them in your bucket. Yeah, I will. I'll just be here. 50 points for Lisa. Talking about new technology and AI virtual reality coming. It's here. Ain't going nowhere. It's here. How does that reflect how you are going to enlighten, entertain, and educate people? Like how are you? How is that making you shift what you do or what you teach or what you, uh, tell people to use? I'm just curious because it's a factor now, obviously. Yeah, and interesting enough, it's, it's not making me shift. It's making me just make people more aware because it's already been here. And again, folks within the enterprise and, uh, technology world have been utilizing artificial intelligence for a long time. We've been using a lot of these technologies before they became more commercialized. Before you started seeing them on these CNNs of the world. And before it started becoming more common sense conversations, we've been delving in these aspects already. So I now tell folks. Now that you see this, now that you have access to it, now that it's easier to accomplish whatever goal it is you're trying to accomplish with technology. Don't be afraid of that technology. Leverage that technology and understand that there are pros and cons to any and everything that you do. The machines aren't going to take over. It's the ones that are going to be, the ones that are going to be ahead of the curve in terms of knowing how to leverage technology are the ones that are going to succeed, right? Because. The, the growth is really at a hockey stick kind of trajectory right now. So things are happening so fast, especially around, uh, Lisa, you mentioned about AI and things of that nature, things are happening so fast that only those that are willing to take the time, energy, and effort to stay aware of what's going are going to be the ones that continue to succeed from a long term perspective. If you just sit by and be and let it go by and let it happen to you, so to speak, you're, it's going to overtake you and unfortunately you're going to be left behind. But if you want to continue to be a coach, if you want to be a subject matter expert, if you want to be someone viewed as a, as a trusted advisor, have that onus to stay in front of it. So you can actually answer those questions just like you were asking, you know, what does it do? How does it affect me? How can I leverage it? And things of that nature. So that, that's really what I'm, what I spend a lot more of my time in terms of instead of not shy away from it, but what's your particular niche? What's your particular industry? These are tools within those silos or those categories that can fit. The needs that you're trying to either do for yourself or do for your community or do for your business. Yeah, I completely agree with you because if you have the knowledge and understanding of how to just do it the right way and combine it with the AI as a as a tool then I think you On top, you know, so I completely agree. and so I mean, think about content creators, right? There're, there're so many, I don't know if you guys want to go into that as well, but there so many platforms, tools, either from hardware, even on a software perspective that make our lives so much easier. If there's something that can take away. Cycles within your workflow, at least take a look at it, especially the editing cycle. Oh my God. Edit editing is why I got all this gray hair, right? You know, you know, the Da Vinci's and the Adobe's and the, and the final cuts. Oh my gosh. Right. That that'll put years on your life. So if there is something out there to help you. With your time to market, so to speak, why not take a look at that? And why not see if you can leverage that piece of technology? So Neil and we were all talking about your big Opus clip user. And I think Neil, you went out, you had a few questions you wanted to ask if you want to jump in because we all love that Opus. Yeah. So you were one of the first people that I sort of tuned into who sort of embraced. It's the best Opus clip for repurposing content. And I was just thinking about how, how is that fitting now into your workflow? And, and as you mentioned, people should be embracing these types of tools to really just cut down on the hard work that it is for the editing. I mean, to repurpose that content manually, it's having to go through your clip in final cut and find the right bits. It was just, we're just painful. So that, so people are, I'm like you, I think people should be embracing the technology in order to. Um, make their lives easier and if you don't embrace it, then you're just going to be left behind and you're going to be doing it old school. But in terms of Opus AI, I know you've had some conversations with the development team and engineering guys there and I've watched some of your shows around that. How, how is that working for you now and how are you integrating that into your sort of day to day? I love that question. Again, I love the research, right? Um, yeah. So, in all full transparency, I've been a brand partner with Opus since day zero. So, before they started doing the content, the generative AI content clipping functionality, they were doing another project. I had All of the founders. I had young, I had Libby, I had gr, I had all of the, the core team literally sitting in this room. We were hashing some things out. We went out for drinks, all, all that stuff, right? I'm not gonna say that I was the one that helped them to pivot into going into that different direction and actually doing a generative ai. But we had those conversations. So I, I advocate for them. I, I don't like the word influence. I like, I use the word advocate, so I will tell other folks, other creators, similar to you guys as well, you know? Take a look at what Opus Clip is doing because they really are at the forefront in terms of using artificial intelligence to find those maybe viral moments, those moments that got a good hook to it, those moments that have a good trend analysis, that sort of thing to where when you cut it up into 30, 60, 90 seconds and put it out there on multiple social media platforms, that it has an opportunity To resonate with your community. It's not going to guarantee that you go viral. It's not going to guarantee that you now go from 20 subscribers to 200, 000 subscribers, but within that conversation, using their generative AI, it will allow you to actually have a clip of content that will actually resonate with your community. There's a handful of platforms that are out there doing it today. As we sit March 4th, 2024. Opus is definitely near the top. Again, there's a couple of other companies that are out there that are getting real close, but The iteration from the team at Opus, they all come from Tik Tok. So they know what they're talking about. So they know, right. So they know what, what, what actually hits. They, they know where you get that dopamine hit from. They know about that swipe left, swipe right. So again, right. They know how it subconsciously works with consumers and works with users. So they are integrating that into the platform. Constantly, not platforms aren't, but again, just the, the rate of evolution that I'm seeing at OpusClip is presenting and delivering solutions to marketplace. It's pretty cool. Pretty cool. It is. And I use it, um, sorry, I was just going to say, I use it pretty much exclusively now for my. Repurposing content. And I noticed that the version three, I just did a video on it recently about their updates and, um, the fact now that they've got hook, engagement, flow, and all these, um, AI, um, workflows that tell you how well your video is going to come across to a respective audience. You've got the genres now where you can select what particular genre your video fits into. So therefore, it'll adapt and refine what it's actually going to spit out based on your potential audience. So I'm loving it and it's working for me and I use it for some of my customers and they heard about it through me, through you guys, you know, so it's great and people are just really, really using it. I'll say this, I'll say this and I'm not going to drop any, any NDA bombs or nothing, but get yourself an affiliate link. Get yourself an affiliate code for Opus because I have one. Okay. Cause cause cause there may be some announcements. Okay. Uh, Opus clip coming relatively soon. I'm just, I'm going to put that out there. I'm just, I'm just going to drop that right there in the middle of the crowd and just say, okay, we can talk about it offline when we're going to talk about it on the, on the roof. I'm not going to get myself in trouble, but just get yourself an affiliate link and continue to promote that particular platform because they bought to do some things that's going to shake up the world. All right. I'm just, I'm just going to log off. I'm going to log off now. All right. Yeah. Well done. Drop the mic. So, thanks James. So, I want to roll back because before you can get Opus clip or putting, piecing things together, you have to do your show. You got to do a live show or recording. And I'm just curious what your process is going live using Ecamm, uh, what, like, what's your process? Because I've watched your show. Um, watch what you do online. And so if there's any little tidbits you want to share or just a quick overview of how you, you know, what you do out there into the world, that would be wonderful. Yeah. And 80 percent of it is pretty static, but you know, there, there's always that 20 percent of in terms of scheduling or in terms of are we live or are we recorded at that kind of thing at the Onset, 35, 000 foot level, know what you're going to talk about, know who you're going to talk to, know where it's going to go when you put the thing out there, meaning every piece of content may not need to go on LinkedIn, may not need to go on Facebook, may not need to go on Twitter, I'll always call it Twitter, I'll never call it X, so there it is, uh, and understand where your audience and where your community is, I am assuming that a lot of us here are. Have a community that lives on YouTube. So again, probably 98 percent of the content that we push out is going to go on YouTube. But again, that may not also need to go on LinkedIn. I may not need to go on other platforms. Think about the show. So Lisa, you say you watch what I do, my team knows Sleep Show. Social impact of sports that doesn't go on LinkedIn. The audience there doesn't resonate with the conversations that we have on that particular session. So that's just YouTube. That's just Twitter. That's just a Facebook page as well. Um, so know the content, know where you want to put it, have a run of show. Folks, don't just come out here winging it, have some bullet points in terms of what you're going to talk about, know where your CT, your call to actions are, know what promos, know what links, know what you're going to do before you actually turn the lights on. Now, most of the time you may not go down the exact run of show, but at least you have something to fall back on and you have something to look at. I'm looking at my sheet and it has my run of show typically for a show right now and you can. You can get back in line with where you want it to be and where you want it to go during your, during your session. So you gotta have that, right? You can't just wing it. Don't wing it. That's, that's what we do. You, you can't wing it into our, what we're going through today with our technology. At least if you have a run of show and you got to have to skip over something, at least you know where you're going. Yeah. And so the flow can keep going. So I agree with you. I'm,...…

Episode 4 - Real Creator Talk with Dan Roth 1:00:11

منذ 1 year1:00:11

1:00:11

Hello, my friends, and welcome to the creative amplifiers. Live podcast show stream type thing. How are we all? Hello, hello, hello. Welcome. Yes, doing well. How is everybody today? Starting to show a bit more professionals worked brilliantly. Yeah, I think so. It's seamless Absolutely. We have some people in the house. Marcus, how are you? Thank you so much for being here. Um, very exciting. The VHS Club video podcast. Hey, Katie. How are you, Katie? Thank you so much. George, thank you so much for being here. And Neil, look at this. All of these placeholders are working beautifully. I told you it was worth doing that extra bit of practice. Absolutely. Hey, Roy, thanks for joining as well. Look at this stuff. Quite a few people joining today. This is great because of our special guest, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. We're going to, we're going to bring Dan Roth on very shortly. But just first of all, we had a couple of things that we wanted to talk about. The first was, um, and I'm sure you know this already. You may well have already entered, but there is the Ecamm Obsbot, um, competition to get a tiny two. Um. I've already entered. Um, Neil, Lisa, have you entered? I haven't because I have one. I don't think I could, I could take any more cameras in my studio, but uh, maybe I should just try before tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day, right? I think tomorrow is the last day and you have to go to the, um, Ecamm live Instagram account, I think. And you have to put why it is that you want to be. Um, why, why you'd like one? Um, you have to have the hashtag, um, love Tiny two, I think is the, is the hashtag. And you have to have followed D cam and also the spot on Instagram as well. So, um, if you haven't done that, I think you've still got a few hours. Obviously you can't do that until you're finished watching the live stream, but really doing Exactly. Um, yeah. Appreciate you doing that. Thank you very much, Katie. Yay, . Thank you. Indeed. One other, um, thing I think we wanted to, to point out to people is that we. Do actually have a audio version of this podcast as well. So not only are we, you know, video in our wonderful studios, but you can listen to us in the car, in the gym, anywhere you want, really, uh, as long as you have a device to play a podcast and we are an Apple podcast, Spotify. Everywhere. I think not in YouTube podcasts yet, but you don't need to be there. We're everywhere. So come and join us as well. Audio wise, if you'd like to, if you don't want to see this, you can always listen to it. It's far better sometimes. And the most enjoyable thing is the fact that Neil and I have both been listening to it and actually enjoying it. I was doing it on my commute when I was going to, to one of my, um, work placements last week, I think Neil, you're out sunbathing or something and listening to yours. Listen to you. So I think Lisa said you, you were also listening to it on the way back. I actually had a long drive yesterday and listened to it. And I was like, Oh my gosh, we have a podcast. Yeah, we do. And we thought it comes across really nicely bearing in mind. Obviously this is very visual, but actually the way we've sort of seemed to have, um, managed to. talk a lot, which is very much like us seems to seems to work well and comes across brilliantly just from an audio point of view as well. So as we actually hadn't mentioned that in our first sort of four episodes or so we should have mentioned that it's out there on all those normal podcast platforms. So yes, so Thanks very much for being here. Thank you to some people that we've not seen before and really do appreciate you spending the time. Please do keep the stuff going in the comments. If you have a question for Dan, when we start chatting with him, do that. We can, um, ask him some of those as well, as we go through towards the end of his conversation. And I think we should bring down on what you think. Yes. Absolutely. Bring on our special guest today. Here we are. Hey Dan. Thank you so much for being here. Hey everyone. Speaking of the tiny two, that's the box right behind me. Um, I have a bad habit of getting it to zoom in on my face, so apologies ahead of time if anybody gets too close and personal, uh, on today's show. We can, we can certainly change scenes or do something different. We can do a close up on Neil or something or. You can't talk with your hands and have a tiny two and I'm, I talk with my hands a lot and the first thing it does is zoom in on my nose. Um, so, uh, but yeah, thank you Katie for being here. Listen, everybody. I have to give a shout out. If you're watching this, you're trying to figure out what to do for dinner. Please go to Lisa's website, take a look at some of her videos, get some inspiration, um, some amazing recipes and videos on there. Oh, thank you. Very good. And I couldn't agree more. And we were only just talking, um, pre pre going live about recipes and food and various things for upcoming events, which we will keep secret for now, but I'm sure we will, we will share in due course and everything. So, so Dan, for those people that actually may not have come across you before, or actually don't know some of your background. Just tell us your sort of journey from how you sort of got into Ecamm, how you found it. And I know you've had a transition in your sort of professional life in the last few years. Well, I mean, my transition has been since I was a kid, uh, you know, most people don't know that my degree is actually in journalism. So I've been a creative for the bulk majority of my life. Um, But when I moved from New Jersey out to California, it would kind of got put on the back end. And then, um, through actual, through actual pain came progress. Early on, um, during the pandemic, I was a father of twin daughters, unemployed, um, no real place to go. So I decided to show up on social media for the first time and decided to do it my way. And I started producing content and really testing out different forms. Uh, and then over time, uh, I became somewhat of an expert in it. And then Gabe Liao, who I don't like to give credit to for anything, um, Introduced me to Ana and Fulgens and, and from there to Ecamm and, um, you know, I have to give a shout out to Katie because, um, everybody hears me shout out Katie all the time, uh, one of the most loyal, incredible people that you'll ever meet. So, you know, I really. joined in order to level up and I stayed because people here seem to tolerate me better than most. Um, so that's where I've come from and along the way I've learned video editing and I've gotten a chance to work with Anna and Fulgens, um, in a lot of capacities. So it's been a really special, uh, experience. Yeah, love it. And, and so take us into your sort of LinkedIn journey as it were, because I know you've got some great, great projects on [00:07:00] the go, but just sort of why was LinkedIn the thing that you kind of really. Really sort of leaned into from from that sort of professional idea But also what why it's sort of taken off and sort of been your mainstay Well at first I you know I'd be disrespectful if I didn't say hi to the people in the audience that have either come to see me or Come to see the episode. Please like and you know, ensure that you're Giving some love to, to Mark, uh, Lisa and, and somewhat Neil, uh, so LinkedIn. So I'm very open about the fact I'm ADHD neurodiverse. I deal with anxiety and depression. And when I came on the site, uh, really what wound up happening. Is I decided I really want to come through. It's exactly who I am, that there's some what of a bait and switch in the job market where you try to show up how other [00:08:00] people want you to be. And I decided if I was going to push through, it was going to be, um, I don't like the term authentic, authentic, but I tried to come through authentically me. What I wound up finding was that there was a niche. That I was able to fill and I created a post that generated 100, 000 views every week, a thousand comments. Um, I was gaining roughly a thousand followers per week and I'm a huge believer that if you have a platform, you have a responsibility. So. Knowing that people were viewing my profile already, I started creating content focused on mental health, focused on topics that most people don't discuss. And I was doing it on a site that really was not something that most people looked at. So I was one of the original people that was coming on saying, well, how can we take this environment and really bridge the gap between content creator, but also a thought leader and. How you use it as a responsibility to showcase. Things. Um, and that's why I chose it. And as far as why I haven't gone to different platforms, you know, I've always used YouTube as a repository. I need to get better with it. But for me being neurodiverse, it was very difficult for me to learn all the algorithms and all the idiosyncrasies with each one. So I would multipurpose my content on all these different sites, but without the focus and attention to detail that I did on LinkedIn, um, So that kind of brings it full scale. Um, but then, you know, again, meeting Gabe meeting, you know, Stephanie Garcia was the first person that I met from the ECAM fam in person. She lives about half an hour. Down south in San Diego from me. It's just incredible human being as you three know And just really love the community plus to Katie's credit. I even [0 got a mug named after me This is the Dan mug, which is coming back to the store soon And it's because I was here. Let me grab this to show everybody. I was one of the first to get this and This does nothing, it can, so I can fit three of these inside the Dan mug, and Katie eventually got tired of me harping on, um, asking for larger mugs, now I'm trying to do the same thing to get triangles. But that's what you gotta do, is keep greasing that wheel until you get what you need, and you know, if you need that much coffee, you need that much coffee. So I'll tell you the same thing I told Doc. I've got. Four and a half year old twin girls. I don't so much drink his much coffee as I need that so that if they knock it over, it doesn't spill. Um, so, you know, everybody looks at me and says, you just must drink so much coffee. I drink maybe two cups of coffee in a day, three, if I'm feeling really spicy. Um, but this is a protection against hot burning lap. Um, that's what it is. Wow. That's a big mug. Um, Katie, it was funny about this. Is when Katie told me about this, she goes, Dan, I put up a 30 ounce mug for you. It's called the Dan mug. And I looked at it. I'm like, Katie, this is not 30 ounces. So I took a measurement. I'm like, Katie. You know, usually it's men that, um, that fake the size of things, but this is 24, not 30. Um, so she had to, she had to go back and make the edit. Um, I'm in trouble, sorry. You're not in trouble. I'm gonna, I want to ask you a couple of questions though. I want to know more about your news, your newsletter, um, The Honest Accomplice. And I saw that, um, I wouldn't, what inspired you to come up with that? And what is the name? mean? What? How did that arrive? What's funny about that is I'm putting up my next newsletter and actually change her name. Um, but let me, but I'll go through the progression. So I am a firm believer. Sorry. I just saw Katie's comment. Um, so I'm a firm believer that you have to take people on a journey with you. And when I first started, I got known for recruitment. That was what my post was about that generated that large audience. So first my newsletter was the honest recruiter. Um, and I did a lot of talking about different trends within recruitment, but A lot of the work that I do in corporate and at home is in dealing with anti racism, um, narrowing the gender and racial wealth gap, uh, pay equity, things like that. And one of my main topics that I talk about as a professional speaker is bridging the gap between ally and accomplice. And for those that aren't familiar with the difference, and I don't want to delve too far into this because it could go into a completely different direction, is an ally is somebody that basically says, Oh, I sympathize with you. Um, without actually doing any action. Uh, an accomplice is somebody, or a co conspirator, if you will, is somebody that looks at a situation, sees the systems of oppression that have caused these issues, and then goes about You're Making changes or taking risk in doing so, whether it's speaking up and speaking out and potentially alienating themselves from races or otherwise. And because of that, I really wanted to put a focus on that in the work that I was doing. This is going to be a bit triggering, but I was asked right after the Buffalo shooting, I Talley, whose mother lost her life. And it was through the work that I was doing that I was really able to build. Uh, this platform, but I wasn't doing it as a podcast. I was doing it as live events because I found that with LinkedIn specifically, there was more return, more yield, a higher rate of views by utilizing a live event strategy, as opposed to a standard podcast, which on the platform does less than 10 people on average. Whereas if I built something up, I could generate, you know, three, 500, a thousand people easily, but getting back to. What you were asking with the newsletter. So I was doing a lot of discussions on that. Um, Now most LinkedIn experts will tell you not to change your URL. They'll tell you not to change your name very often, but again, going with progression. Uh, One of the things that [00:15:00] I really focused on recently is, well, what is the overarching concept of everything that I do from being a parent to being a creator to everything else? Um, and it's mental health. Everything falls under it. It's an umbrella, regardless of whether it's anti racism, regardless of whether it's women's rights, regardless of whether it's just talking about, uh, anxiety and depression. So I renamed my URL. My newsletter, um, and I am in the process of building out a podcast, a monthly podcast, and it's going to be called Mental Health Motivated. Um, so the great thing about that is, like I said, with the umbrella, I could still talk about anything I want, but the overarching theme is how is this affecting you? Do you need to take that space? Do you need to have that air, um, in order to continue having these conversations? I think it's super important as a content creator. And I love that you're doing this. We all change, you know, we're going to, there's different iterations of ourselves along the way. And so to be aware of it's time to make that pivot. I don't like that word, but time to make that pivot, that change and, um, put out the content that you want to put out, but also that will benefit people who. Need to hear the message. So I commend you for not listening to people, you know, LinkedIn experts saying don't do this. Don't do that. And I think that's something we should all, you know, there's a certain follow your heart and follow your brain before you listen to other people, I think. In order to get the message out that you want. Well, here's the thing about it. And I'm not somebody that holds themselves in the highest of esteem, but there's a ton of people that call themselves experts. There's very few people that have done what I've done. Um, now I don't talk about it. I don't need to, I don't need to be braggadocious. I don't need to pat myself on the back, but most LinkedIn experts can't say that they've had a post that's generated a hundred thousand views for nearly two years. Most LinkedIn experts can't say that they generate seven to 10 million views per year. Most LinkedIn experts can't say that they've used influencer marketing to fund nonprofits across the world. But these are the things I do because they're important to me. And I believe in putting people in positions of opportunity with the utilization of your platform. Um, so those experts can talk all they want, um, but going back to something that used to be said when I was in school, uh, scoreboard. And then you could fill in the rest of what they would say, but, uh, so I, I really don't adhere to what these people are telling you because most people are telling you the sky is blue because they know if they say the sky is blue, you can't disagree with them unless you're colorblind like me. Um, then I can, but as the kids say, now you have the receipts, like you have the stuff to back you up. I just pulled out a little, yeah. Hip thing. Got a way to put it. My old age. Uh, yeah, and that's what, that's what's interesting. I don't know what the kids say now because my four year olds are only repeating Bluey. Um, yeah, I don't know. I don't think I've watched anything adult in like three years. Um, but yeah, content creation, that's what it's all about. You have to, if there's not a progression, then, then you plateau. Um, you know. One of the reasons I started working with Ana and Fulgens wasn't because I necessarily needed their help, but I believe in working with people that are better than you so that you rise to their level. And Fulgens is so much better at me at putting together these [00:19:00] packages and these profiles in Ecamm and having the lower thirds and creating things that are so unique. I may know the strategy. But Anna and Fulton's are way better at that. So I'd rather team up with them and, um, instead of doing something on my own, that that's not going to be as high quality. And it's through learning from people like Doc, from people like Neil, not so much Mark. Um, I'm just, I'm just messing with you, Mark. Uh, okay. I, you know, I'm being serious, but I have to also keep my sarcastic wit. Um, That it helps you all the way because I would be nowhere if I did if I had just tried to continue Doing the same thing I was doing six years ago You know, I get to work with companies across the world now I was a partner with Elgato. My entire studio is decked out with Elgato and it's only because I've learned from people Yeah, amazing. And I think, I think also it's one of the things that we've learned as a, as a show as we've ort of come together since creator camp is that sense that we're learning from each other and we've got different skill sets. And there's something, there's something about the way that we're doing it, which is is amazing and supportive in the community and the collaboration. And I, and I've, I've experienced that even this afternoon, I've been doing my own podcast. I've been recording, I've got the same setup, same situation, a few different colored lights. Um, but it felt very different when it was just my complete responsibility. And then here we are, we show up, we do our pre show, have a great laugh. And here we are getting a chance to chat to you. And, um, yeah, it's a completely different feel. And I think you're right. The more, the more you can. Be supported by other people and support other people. It really is a way of great success....…
