InShot App Review for video podcast editing.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Let’s talk about the InShot App. Okay, this is an app that I’ve been using for well over a year now I believe, and I did purchase it, I believe it’s a one time purchase, I don’t know off the top of my head.

But it is at least to use the full version of the app well worth the price, if you’re going to be doing any type of video, podcasting off your phone on a regular basis, especially if you use an iPhone, I’m not sure if it’s available on Android.

I record and I use this on an iPhone.

And it is a great little editing setup to where you can take whatever files you have, whether it be video, audio, still pictures, animated GIF, so I mean that everything will fit into this deal.

It also allows you it has its own library of which you may have seen on some of the beginning shots of some of these episodes, these little dancing figures and so forth that you could put on in within your video, you know, you could insert them right in, you could put the titles that I use every time this link, AmazonProofBook.com.

So I AmazonProofBook.com. And those of you listening, it’s a little more difficult to imagine this but you can go check out my YouTube channel or go on to BrianJPombo.com and watch the video versions of this, where you can see, you can literally see all these things on the screen.

So there’s a video version of this podcast and there’s an audio version.

Okay, AmazonProofBook.com is the website that I tend to promote most times for the last year or so. And that’s for my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business.

So if you’d like to find out more about my book, you go there get a free copy of AmazonProofBook.com. It’s right on the screen the whole time so that people can see it the entire time, whether they heard me talk about it or not. If they’re curious, they can go there.

Simple concept, a simple idea that you could be adding to any of your videos, is having a call to action on the screen, at least part of the time.

But I like having it there the whole time because it’s a huge portion of why I do these videos, to begin with. This is the sponsor of the videos and I’ll lead people to other places.

You could put any type of titles on here, you could type it in, you come up with different fonts, all these other things in what I’m trying to say is in the shot is a very simple straightforward editing software that can be done on a phone, I have a smaller iPhone 12.

So it has it’s one of the I think they’re called the mini ones or whatever, it’s got a smaller screen and even on there, I’m able to edit pretty easily using this program using this app. It’s great it’s an overall good habit as somebody my friend Bruno asked for a recommendation today and I turned him on to it.

I think he’ll like it. It even does chroma key. So if you want to do a green screen effect or anything like that. Now these aren’t out-of-this-world effects, you could probably do a lot better. You could get you could probably get better programs that can do specific effects.

Obviously, if you have, you know, an apple at home or a really high-end computer with some really nice editing software, you can do amazing things that I can’t possibly do here.

But if you’re talking about video podcasts that you’re sending out there that don’t have to be, you know, screen quality, big-screen quality, then going within shot is a pretty good deal. So go check it out. I don’t make any money off of them. I don’t have an affiliate link, anything like that. But if you’re interested, there it is.

That’s all I got for today. We’ll see you tomorrow.

In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

Brian reflects on the past three years of doing this podcast as we hit episode 1,000.

Transcription

1,000 video podcasts.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

This is the 1,000th episode. And it kind of snuck up on me, it’s been a while.

This is counting from when I first started, Brian J. Pombo Live. But that isn’t where it all started.

So initially, I had started doing YouTube videos, and I still have a handful out there from the first first couple years. That started in, I believe it’s July of 2015.

Following that, I had spent a lot of time editing videos and everything else. But I didn’t really have a direction, I didn’t have it tied to my business or anything else.

It was more experimenting with YouTube, seeing what works, seeing what doesn’t work, playing around by interviewing other YouTubers and so forth and seeing how that affected you can see how I was completely messing around with genres and everything just in that those handful of videos that came out, just me kind of playing around.

I had a lot of people that I looked up to in the world of YouTube and I wanted to see how they did it and then kind of have a perspective on I did.

It’s a lot of hard work if you’re going to put out quality content, which I’m not saying that I did. I’m saying that if you’re going to achieve going anywhere near that, it takes a lot of work and a lot of dedication.

So I knew it was going to be a while before I could really do that, to the full extent of how I wanted to do it. Just because life became more hectic.

After 2015, more kids, everything else, it just snowballed. So it’s one of those things that that’s kind of how it works.

I fell into audio podcasting during the Off-the-Grid Biz Podcast. And that was a lot of fun. Within the first month or two of doing that, I realized that I wanted to have something that was completely different from that but still played into my business.

Even the direction of my business has changed so much since that first very first episode of Brian J Pombo. Live in 2019, in May of 2019.

Everything has changed. Everything and nothing, I mean really, I’m doing the same things. I refer to a lot of the things that I do differently.

Because it’s a lot clearer to say that I’m a Business Investor than it is being a strategist. That was confusing people.

When I really stepped back and looked at what I did, it really was more business investing. And it’s something that I’ve really had a lot of fun with. You can see the progression.

If you went and looked and watched or listen to these podcasts all through the years, you would see the progression. You would say this is very different than how it started.

But in the same sense, I had the book partway through, I had started doing interviews with people, which I’m still doing, we’ll have more coming out in the future.

It’s one of those things where it just keeps going and keeps going and keeps going. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve been happy for those of you who have stuck around with it.

Love to see what you think about where we’ve been, where we’ve come and where we’re going. What would you like to see more or less of love to find out, leave a comment wherever you’re watching this.

Otherwise, I’m going to keep going with it. And I’ll talk more about where I was in the beginning versus where I am now in terms of where I see it going. What has been the best advantages to having a video slash audio podcast that is relatively unedited.

I throw things out a lot more nowadays for quick edits. But for the most part, it’s just a day by day thing. It’s been a wild ride.

Thank you for joining me. We’ll see on the next episode.

In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

Be on the lookout for up coming videos playing off a recent video he did liked below.

Hegelian Dialectic – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLkRKFffvkg

Transcription

Review of the next six months.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I don’t know if I’m going to give you a review of the entire next six months, but I’m going to tell you what’s coming up here on this channel. So I put out these videos on a daily basis, hopefully, you’ll enjoy what’s coming up.

If you’re brand new, go back and rewatch some of the videos that we’ve already put out.

So we’ve had a lot of fun up until now and some of it plays off of what we were already going off, I had a conversation with a friend of mine named Brad and I’ll go more into what that was, and how it gave me the idea for a single video. But after digging in a little deeper, it created three videos, they’re gonna be coming out, they’re not done yet.

But the topics I already know what I’m going to be talking about for the next three videos. It all has to do with the Hegelian Dialectic that we talked about a couple of videos ago.

And if you’re not aware of that, go back and watch that one. We’re going into that and bringing real-life examples from both personal life and large mass media culture, so that’ll be a lot of fun.

We’re also in this is all stuff that can help you with your business, believe it or not.

So I’m a business strategist and so everything I do, I find some way to tie it back into your relationship with your business and that back into your personal life.

When we go into that, after that, I’ve got a very special series of interviews. One specific interview is going to be coming out next week, I do believe so we should have it all ready to go for you. So that’s coming up real quick.

The only reason why I discussed six months is that we’re halfway through at the point at the time making this video halfway through 2021 and we’re on to the second half. So the next six months, it’s man, it’s exciting.

We’ve gotten through so much in such a short period of time and there’s just there’s so much ahead of us. So this should be a lot of fun.

I’m happy to have you along for the ride. I hope you had for those of you who are in the States, I hope you had a wonderful Independence Day celebration over the Fourth of July. And for those of you outside the states, I hope you’re having a great life and celebrating whatever you’re celebrating right now and all at the same time doing what it takes to be able to build your business, which is what we’re all here for.

So if you have any questions or comments about anything we’ve done up until now or something you’d like to know more about, leave it wherever you’re seeing this, I don’t care for whether you’re seeing this on Instagram, or LinkedIn or YouTube or Facebook, we’re in all these different places.

You might be listening to this through your favorite podcast provider. So leave a comment if you can, if you can’t, wherever you’re at, then leave a comment at BrianJPombo.com all of this is brought to you for the last year or so.

Ubiquitous content strategy.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

We’re gonna be talking about content marketing, and how to have a strategy that’s ubiquitous, nice big word there. It means everywhere, right?

It’s about being everywhere.

And just so much everywhere that no one even questions that that’s kind of why I like the term ubiquitous because it’s kind of like, it’s just, you don’t question it, it’s everywhere, right?

I have to apologize for my voice. I don’t know, I’ve got something I probably have COVID or something. I don’t mean to make light of it. But it’s just funny how all this, you know, all these diseases that we get every year now has this, this shadow of COVID over it.

So I don’t think it’s COVID. It’s just a sore throat, but it all comes with the territory. I guess we won’t get too far into that.

Let’s talk about content strategy and how to be ubiquitous. And I want to talk about this guy, or this logo, shall I say, that was all about Fredrater.

This goes back. 14 years ago, I think it was 14 years ago, I’m going by what I just saw on an old podcast episode that I found because it was a podcast episode that had a unique way of completely changing my view of content marketing forever.

And started at a time when I would never have known the term content marketing.

In fact, I hardly knew the term search engine optimization at that point. But a piece of this interview is later on in the interview, I haven’t gone back and re-listen to it because I recognized it.

So immediately after starting to listen to it, I said, this is it. This is the interview that I remember changing my life.

It was with this podcast Venture Voice, I’ve got a link in the description. So you can go check that out.

If you’re at a place where you can’t see the link, go to BrianJPombo.com, and check out this episode. You’ll be able to find the link to this specific podcast that’s still out there, at least here in 2021, and it’s worth listening to.

Not that every prediction that happened in it came true, really the piece that he brings up about how he was able to well let me give you some background, Fred Seibert is who this interview was with if you’re not familiar with Fred Seibert, he is a cable TV icon.

Yeah, he started doing a lot of animation and bumpers for Nickelodeon, and MTV, some of the most famous bumpers that they had kind of advertising their networks, in the early days of the late 80s, 90s.

He been responsible for many classic animation shows on television. And a lot of them started out on this podcast love, the more recent ones in the last 20 years or so started out on this podcast, which is called Frederator.

If you’re familiar with Frederator, Frederator was a podcast that was showing up and coming animators, and they’re short clips of their animation. And then the ones that caught on ended up becoming something or took the animators to another level which he’s been a huge promoter of that industry for quite a while.

What he was able to do very early on in podcasting land. And this was 2007 is when I heard it, this is when this podcast originally came out.

He’s discussing how they were able to use the blogging function of podcasts because every podcast starts in a blog in a sense. Because they’re all based on being on the background of having RSS, which is called Really Simple Syndication, and then that goes out to all the podcast aggregators.

At that time, the main one was iTunes, but now you’ve got a million of them. And it would go out in all directions from your blog. Well, what he found is when he would pile one blog on top of another and put out content on a regular basis, this is starting to sound familiar, putting out content on a regular basis.

And then linking in between all of these blogs and creating a blog network, especially in 2007 would give you amazing Mojo with Google back then this is previous to the Penguin update and in all the Panda update and all these other updates that ended up shutting down a whole lot of that bugged out.

Even though a lot of these things are still useful today, they’re just not as powerful as they were back then.

So back then this was a huge power, you could bring something out of nowhere.

And at this point, I remember exactly where I was, I was going on a walk from where I lived. And I was listening to this.

And just, Oh, no, actually, I listened to it before I went on the walk here on the picture and I had an iPhone, and I had an iPhone at that time.

So I was going on the walk after hearing it, and though it started raining, and I’m just imagining all these things, connecting and seeing how the small amount of energy that I’d been able to create.

If you’re curious about the story behind this, I started yesterday, so you can go listen to that podcast, this is a second in a series.

But when I had started this blog for this radio show, and it had already started picking up a little bit of steam, and I said well, I wonder we started up another one that was more specific on a different topic but did use the same format and played them off of each other.

Sure enough, we did that and that one ended up becoming more popular as a podcast than the first one.

We were able to play with the keywords and everything else to be able to get more and more and more attention.

Now the search engine optimization was the thing that was sexy about it because it showed up on Google and everything else. But what really was powerful about that whole process was the content was producing content on a regular basis.

You’ll hear Fred Seibert, if you go and listen to this podcast, you’ll hear him discuss this and this is early 2007. This is why early on long before we even use the term content marketing. And you listen to how this came about this is when it hit me on so many levels, how powerful this could be.

Tomorrow, I’m going to talk about the final thing that really put it put the final nail in the coffin for me when it came to content marketing, at least in my early years of learning how all of this worked. that eventually led me into going off into my own business. I’m going to be talking about that tomorrow, so come on back then.

In the meantime go check out my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. You can get a free copy at AmazonProofBook.com.

Universal Content Strategy 🎙️🌏 (Getting Started In Podcasting)

Brian shares what is part one of his beginning in podcasting dating back to 2007 when he helped a radio show host spread their content online.

Transcription

Universal content strategy.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Today we’re going to discuss the universal content strategy.

So how do you take your content and make it completely universal?

I got this stupid thing from Dollar Tree (Brian’s holding a kids microphone).

It really comes down to Well, let me tell you a story.

I’m going to tell you a story about how I discovered universal content strategy. It’s going to go by many names. But I’m surprised how few people actually discuss it. And when they’re talking about content marketing, very few people discuss how powerful this thing is.

I found it in the same time when I discovered search engine optimization, it’s funny how these things all meet together.

So I’ve got a handful of stories, and I’m going to start with one today.

I’m going to go through and tell you how this idea progressed. You’ll find clues on how you can use your reversal content strategy for your business.

You can also find out more in my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. I have an entire chapter, in fact, is the ninth way that I discuss here in my ninth chapter.

For, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business, you can get a free copy of this book, or you can go and purchase a hardbound book wherever books are sold. But you can get your own free copy on AmazonProofBook.com.

So let’s talk about universal content strategy, shall we?

It started in 2007, I had begun work with a radio network, and I was working for one particular host.

We were testing something out, they wanted to start testing out podcasts. Now, this was kind of the first string of podcasting that had come out. I had been watching and listening to podcasts for, I don’t know, a good year or so at that point. On my own, before I had taken up this job.

And they wanted me to dig in and find out how to go about podcasts. I’d never done it before. But I was just kind of tossed in there, I had some idea of how the internet worked.

I had just enough knowledge to make me dangerous.

So I was just kind of let loose to start a podcast for this radio show host. So I had like I said, I had listened to podcasts, I didn’t have an iPod, which at that time was why they named a podcast was via the iPod.

They were the month the only places you could find podcasts at that point initially, was on iTunes, which was the place where people listened to podcasts. That’s where it originated.

Well, there had started springing up a whole lot of other podcast networks. So one podcast could be found all over the place online. At that point, Google had not completely cracked down on all these link farms and so forth, then they gave a whole bunch of value in where you ranked in Google based on how many backlinks you had.

There was this whole science of linking from one site to the next and to the point to where people could take advantage of it.

That was a huge piece of at least gray hat what they call grey hat SEO search engine optimization, which is so what’s the difference between white hat and black hat shall I say white hat was doing things as close to buy the book as possible that Google told you to do and things they told you not to do.

The main thing they told you not to do was not take advantage of the rules that they had set up. So it was kind of a tough thing to follow.

Blackhat was paying attention and no rules absolutely at all. And just doing whatever the heck you want to and you’d oftentimes end up getting in trouble with Google long-term over something like that.

And so the about the best you can hope for if you want any success with SEO is to do relatively grayhat area. Where is the area that Google really hasn’t commented on yet on what you can and can’t do.

So you took advantage of the things that you could take advantage of in order to get more jobs and more results when people were searching for random things.

I didn’t know any of this at this time. I didn’t know what SEO was, I knew nothing. But I jumped in just with the idea of starting a podcast.

And so we started, I looked into all the options to starting a podcast. And what I did was I was looking at some of the people’s podcasts that I had been following and looked at how they set up and just kind of copy them.

One of the common ways back then was to set up…so there was this site called blogger blogger.com, it’s still out there. It’s a free form of blogging website.

Well, with blogs, you have an RSS feed.

Even to this day, podcasts run off of an RSS feed.

So, what you do is you set up a blog on blogger.com, for free. I went about doing this and I went about figuring out how MP3 are encoded, and how you put that into your blog post.

How you then take that RSS run it through a company back then it was called Feedburner. They ended up getting bought out by Google. And Feedburner was this site that made it accessible to podcast aggregators like iTunes.

So I ran all this, I’m not going to get into all the tech stuff, but just to give you an idea, went through and set up this whole site based on this radio show, and we took clips off the radio show and directed people back to the website to listen to the whole thing.

And it really went well, went extremely well, became one of the top podcasts for all the different areas that this radio show host covered.

Well, then we started putting out other podcasts. And I came across a really magical idea that someone had was already about six months ahead of me in terms of figuring out some of these concepts that Google was rewarding people for.

I’m going to tell you all about him tomorrow, because he was a person that was already big in the entertainment industry is still big, and still behind the scenes, not as well known outside of animation circles.

That’s a little clue.

I’ll tell you more about him tomorrow. And how that the idea really took me to the next level, which I would call ubiquitous, ubiquitous content strategy.

We’re going to talk about that tomorrow night. So we’ll be back then. Come on back then and we’ll continue this conversation.

In the meantime, you have a great one. Get out there and let the magic happen.

When Your Brain Doesn’t Work 🧠🙄 (Daily Content Marketing Challenges)

So Brian’s having an off night, you do content marketing daily and see how it goes. 😉🙃

Transcription

When your brain doesn’t work.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Talking today about your brain not working because my brain isn’t working. It’s one of these things where I didn’t eat the best today, and my whole schedule was kind of thrown off today.

And so because of that, I get to the time of day when actually a little later than usual, in putting together my video, and it just isn’t happening. It’s just up there, the brain ain’t working.

This is common in content marketing, if you’re doing things on a regular basis, especially if you’re dependent on yourself as the producer of material. And sometimes it just isn’t there, there’s just not enough there.

All I can do is make the video about that idea. And I’ll give you something even extra, I’m going to direct you to the interview that was out about a week and a half ago or so.

You’re going to want to go check out that interview if you missed it with Bob Regnerus. It’s a great interview. some really interesting guys got a lot of cool stuff happening over at feed stories. So Bob Regnerus, you can catch that interview at BJPchats.com.

BJPchats, this is a website that I’m going to be using to contain all the interviews that I end up doing for Brian J. Pombo Live so it’s kind of a show within a show, if you will. So go check that out.

If by the time you’re watching this, we’ve put out the other interviews, you’ll be able to see those there as well. But those are if you’re watching this brand new, just realize those are coming up. If you’d like to be on the program, go over to BrianJPombo.com, and apply to be on the show.

So we’ll be back tomorrow. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

Metacognition and Your Business 🧠👀 (Power of Critical Thinking)

Posted on by brianjpombo

Brian uses a fancy word to talk about critical thinking in your life and business.

Transcription

Metacognition and your business.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Today I want to talk about metacognition, which is basically the science of, you know, thinking about your thinking, okay. I love this topic, it’s one of my most favorite things to talk about is something having to do with our thinking.

And it all starts with us thinking about what we’re thinking, not about what we’re thinking, but thinking about our thinking or itself, thinking about the thinking process, thinking about how we think, why we think, and everything around that idea.

This is the most some of the most fascinating things that I’ve ever thought about. And considered and actually made some of the largest changes of my life based on the concept of metacognition.

Now I’ve never, honestly, I’ve never used the term metacognition, I think I may have looked at it once when I was taking psychology classes in college but forgot about it.

And just recently, I was looking at things all about thinking about your thinking, and that term came up. So I thought I thought that was interesting.

Besides the term itself, this is something that gets brought up a lot by Dan Sullivan.

If you ever listened to Dan Sullivan, you could find him on a whole lot of podcasts out there, including one of my favorites. So, Welcome To Cloudlandia, this was the one that was that’s hosted with Dean Jackson.

It was also previously called, The Joy of Procrastination.

I’ve discussed it before, Dan Sullivan is the one that heads up that he’s both the creator and the lead mind over at Strategic Coach, where they talk a lot about thinking and stepping back and looking at why we do the things we do and how we can make slight tweaks to be able to create different results in our life.

And this is another thing that came into my mind when I was going back and looking at this book, Keep Going. I’ve talked about this one before previously, keep going by Austin Lleon, Awesome book.

I love Austin’s books, they’re simple, they’re straightforward, very little to read on each page.

So you can make a whole lot of progress quickly and this the idea that he brings up, I don’t always agree with every last idea in here. But they’re definitely causing you to think about what you’re thinking.

This particular page I wanted to bring your attention to, he says pay attention to what you pay attention to. It’s really kind of a microcosm of thinking about your thinking. And I really liked what he says here, I wonder I wanted to read some of this for you.

He says your attention is one of the most valuable things you possess, which is why everyone wants to steal it from you. First, you must protect it. And then you must point it in the right direction.

As they say in the movies, careful where you point that thing. What you choose to pay attention to is the stuff your life and work will be made of my experience is what I agree to attend to psychologist William James wrote in 1890, only those things which I notice shaped my mind.

We pay attention to the things we really care about. But sometimes what we really care about is hidden from us.

I keep a daily diary for many reasons. But the main one is that it helps me pay attention to my life, by sitting down every morning and writing about my life. I pay attention to it. And over time, I have a record of what I’ve paid attention to.

And he goes on and on about the importance of diary or journal writing. Great stuff.

I think the first step is to realize I think we all to some extent or another think about what we’re thinking, think about how we think, think about our thinking and some context, but probably we don’t do it enough and we don’t question it enough.

We don’t question what where thoughts are coming from or whether they’re necessary or whether they’re habitual and everything else and how to go about either maneuvering around them, ignoring them, backing up from them, questioning them, you know, how do you go about doing that, but the first step I think is really paying attention to what you pay attention to.

That comes on a moment-by-moment basis. But it also comes at looking at it on a daily basis and whatever you need to be able to do that.

One of the things that I do is I got it. The easiest way for me to be able to work person through this process, because I’m a business strategist. So I work with different people that own businesses and help them get from point A, where they’re at, to point B where they want to be, right?

And to get you just focused on that point, and taking you day by day and said, Okay, why were we not able to make this step from here to here, what’s getting in our way?

That brings us all back to mindset. And the people that I work with the best of the people that are most open, about digging in there, into their own brain, watching what you’re doing on a daily basis, watching your thoughts on a daily basis, watching your emotions on a daily basis, and not getting obsessed about it.

But quite the opposite, just having enough perspective where you notice it, if you could just start noticing things, your whole life will start changing, I can pinpoint a period of time when I started noticing my thoughts.

And over time, I’ve gotten better and better and better.

At least I hope I’ve gotten better at backing away, and not getting caught up with it with all the things that I’m going through. But in the best-case scenario, being subjective to it. I mean, being objective to it, excuse me, at little Freudian slip there being objective to it being just far enough away, that I don’t have to claim it.

And I can just kind of watch it and see it and see where it leads me and not get take so much credit for everything that goes through your brain as if you intentionally meant for it to be there, right?

Video Interview Podcasts.

Hi, I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

This is one where I’m going to just take a little bit of time to go over kind of what I experienced over the last couple months, putting together a new process for doing video interview podcasts.

So, up until now, this show has been me and my phone, talking. And that’s about it, every once a while, I’ll take you on the road, every once in a while, I’ll have my business partner or my children and so forth pop in here.

But for the most part, it’s me and it’s you and that’s it.

What ended up happening is I have another two other podcasts currently.

One is called Grants Pass VIP, which is a local based podcast. It’s all around Grants Pass, Oregon and Josephine County, and that it’s an interview podcast, but it’s completely by voice, very easy to edit, very simple.

If anything goes wrong, we can usually fix it, we usually make things sound pretty good.

So, done that for a little while now you can go check those out of Grants PassVIP.com, we’ve had a lot of great fun with that show.

The show before that, that I started was Off The Grid Biz Podcast, which interviews industry people within the self-reliance niche. So businesses and organizations that help people to become more self-reliant in some way of their products or services.

And so that has been a whole lot of fun too. Same type of deal, it’s an audio podcast, very easy to edit, very easy to get somebody either on the phone, or over zoom to be able to do that.

Now with video, it’s a whole different thing.

It’s a little more difficult to edit. And so it’s kind of a one-shot and you’re done type of deal, kind of like what we’re doing tonight, maybe most of these that you see are completely unedited. I mean, I’ll put a little title over the front. That’s about it.

That’s pretty much what we do for the dailies.

And so what we decided to do was take the whole concept of the dailies, which are each under 10 minutes. And what if we took a video podcast of full-length one, and then split it up. And so we had this last interview with Bob Regnerus over the last handful of nights, which was recorded over a short very short period of time, but took an entire week of content.

So normally when I’m doing these on a nightly basis, I wasn’t doing for the past week.

So I was able to leave town, and I’m always able to leave town, but I was specifically able to leave town to go see a wedding for my cousin and got to see family and everybody else. Be able to do it without having to worry about jumping into my car or something to record so that I don’t wake people up, because I do these tend to do these late at night.

So this is one of those examples of an episode where I kind of give you a little bit of behind the scenes.

And they all came from this book, Show Your Work, one of my favorites, by Austin Kleon. It’s a short book, lots of pictures, lots of diagrams and stuff. Great one you want to go out and check out this book show your work by Austin Kleon.

And the whole concept is 10 ways to share your creativity and get discovered.

So all I do is talk about what I do and how I go about doing it here on daily basis. So if you’re interested in this, be sure and go to BrianJPombo.com sign up for an email.

And you’ll get in fact, we just recently fixed that we were having some issues with that too and a little behind the scenes there. But we send out an email every day with updates on the website. It’s usually just one video, one audio, either watch or listen to and you can go check that out at, BrianJPombo.com.

If you want to check out all the interviews that we’re going to be doing, we just put out the one so far it’s spread out over a week, but the Bob Regnerus interview, you could see the full thing at BJPChats.com.

And video interviews are fun, they’re different. It’s something I’m not used to doing.

But it was easy because having used zoom, I’ve been using zoom for years now.

Having used it almost exclusively during the COVID-19 pandemic, got pretty darn good at it.

And the best thing is everyone else has too, so it’s made it easy to get people on to a video interview and be able to do a pretty decent job.

We’ve had two interviews so far the next ones coming up soon. We’re going to have more video interviews as we go along.

Oh, I didn’t get that…So we’ve done the audio interviews through the other podcasts, but having the video interview the reason why we started doing that is because I have this video chat show anyways.

So we figured, why not just bring everybody that doesn’t fit into either off-the-grid biz or Grants Pass VIP, have him on this show. Or if they don’t fit anything else, we’re gonna have them on this show that if they do fit those, but we want to explore a different angle of what they’re about.

That’s what we’re going to be doing, you’re going to be seeing more of those interviews style, I’d love to see what you think about them. I’m going to try and make them a little more obvious because I had the intro on so many of them I didn’t have a good title card for a lot of those. So because not every format allows me to show that.

It’s one thing or another those of you who are listening to this you got to hear the audio version of it anyway, but you can find the video version over at BJPChats.com and we’re going to keep that going.

It’s just a special page at BrianJPombo.com, that is going to include all of the video interviews, I know I kind of bouncing all over on this today but one to kind of give you a little bit of background and see if you can see what I’m doing with it.

Maybe you can see whether it’d be something you’d be interested in doing.

If you’d like to talk to me about how you can be able to introduce this into your business. The first step I’m going to recommend you do before you ever call me or, I mean you’re welcome to watch and listen to more of the podcast.

That’s definitely a way to get to know me better.

But also check out my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. I got a free way for you to get a copy of it at AmazonProofBook.com. AmazonProofBook.com

I’m going to be back here tomorrow night. We’re going to be doing more of these nightly ones. So I’m happy to be back in the saddle again.

Have a great night. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.
