Tips for Getting It Done

1
00:00:00,017 --> 00:00:04,117
Speaker1:
From blocking time to finding a really awesome accountability partner,

2
00:00:04,297 --> 00:00:07,837
Speaker1:
we're going to share our tips today to help you get those juices flowing,

3
00:00:07,997 --> 00:00:11,937
Speaker1:
get those projects going, and help you get unstuck. Unstuck.

4
00:00:11,937 --> 00:00:15,317
Speaker0:
Oh my God, it's all in there, it's all in there. Check it out today, Yes Gay.

5
00:00:15,497 --> 00:00:20,577
Speaker0:
We're going to dive into some of the, I guess I wouldn't call it the structure,

6
00:00:20,677 --> 00:00:23,297
Speaker0:
the bones, the back end of how you get it done.

7
00:00:23,377 --> 00:00:26,057
Speaker0:
Lots of people come in here and tell you about all the things you got to do.

8
00:00:26,217 --> 00:00:29,597
Speaker0:
I do hear from the comments, this is legit, come from people.

9
00:00:30,097 --> 00:00:33,577
Speaker0:
That, yeah, I got all this stuff. I think I know how to do it.

10
00:00:33,877 --> 00:00:37,157
Speaker0:
But how do you find time to get it all done? That comes up all the time.

11
00:00:37,217 --> 00:00:40,817
Speaker0:
That comes up at conferences. It comes up wherever. So we are Creators Unstuck.

12
00:00:41,297 --> 00:00:46,637
Speaker0:
And our job is to empower some creators to help you get rid of these road blocks that are stopping you.

13
00:00:47,177 --> 00:00:51,637
Speaker0:
And we're just going to help you transform all of this creativity that you have

14
00:00:51,637 --> 00:00:54,877
Speaker0:
into action so you can go out there and do the work that you know you was put

15
00:00:54,877 --> 00:01:00,617
Speaker0:
here to do. Now, we're a little tough on you because everybody else be out here telling you to be you.

16
00:01:01,257 --> 00:01:06,437
Speaker0:
You know that you do you line? Your man's never fitting to say that unless I'm being dismissive.

17
00:01:06,657 --> 00:01:12,397
Speaker0:
I never say you do you because chances are you're trying to improve yourself.

18
00:01:12,637 --> 00:01:16,037
Speaker0:
You're trying to become better. You don't want to be the you you've been for

19
00:01:16,037 --> 00:01:18,477
Speaker0:
the last 43 years, right?

20
00:01:18,797 --> 00:01:22,237
Speaker0:
Maybe that's the you you're trying to get away from. So I don't know why people be like you do you.

21
00:01:22,977 --> 00:01:26,477
Speaker0:
If you was working, like if you was Mark Frickerberg, all right,

22
00:01:26,477 --> 00:01:27,617
Speaker0:
maybe you can keep doing you.

23
00:01:28,057 --> 00:01:30,657
Speaker0:
But if you over here trying to figure out what to do with your life,

24
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:32,937
Speaker0:
stop doing you. It's time to do the new you.

25
00:01:33,197 --> 00:01:36,097
Speaker0:
So speaking of new you, we're going to get it.

26
00:01:36,377 --> 00:01:38,497
Speaker0:
We're going to come here. We're going to give you some honest conversations.

27
00:01:38,637 --> 00:01:40,557
Speaker0:
We're going to keep it real. We're never going to lie to you.

28
00:01:40,617 --> 00:01:41,577
Speaker0:
We're not going to gas you up.

29
00:01:41,697 --> 00:01:44,297
Speaker0:
We're not going to be like, oh, your feelings, never mind your feelings.

30
00:01:44,417 --> 00:01:47,637
Speaker0:
I'm going to speak from facts and we're going to get you to where you need to

31
00:01:47,637 --> 00:01:49,917
Speaker0:
be because I know you're powerful and so do you.

32
00:01:50,297 --> 00:01:50,657
Speaker1:
Bingo.

33
00:01:52,306 --> 00:01:52,766
Speaker1:
Pep Talk.

34
00:01:53,126 --> 00:01:56,266
Speaker0:
There you go. You started out the gate. Started out the gate.

35
00:01:56,286 --> 00:01:59,426
Speaker0:
Choice. All right. What's the question of the day, Lou?

36
00:02:00,266 --> 00:02:05,546
Speaker1:
Oh, question of the day is how do you get it done? How do you get everything

37
00:02:05,546 --> 00:02:07,106
Speaker1:
done in your creative projects?

38
00:02:07,386 --> 00:02:09,866
Speaker1:
You want to share with the community because this is very much about community.

39
00:02:10,006 --> 00:02:14,926
Speaker1:
It's very much about us all growing together and helping each other and seeing

40
00:02:14,926 --> 00:02:17,006
Speaker1:
people's wins, seeing where people are stuck.

41
00:02:17,106 --> 00:02:19,426
Speaker1:
But I want to know how you get things done.

42
00:02:19,546 --> 00:02:21,746
Speaker1:
What's like a quick little one for you?

43
00:02:22,306 --> 00:02:24,286
Speaker1:
Like a go-to that's like doc specific

44
00:02:24,286 --> 00:02:27,486
Speaker0:
Like just getting it done is actually

45
00:02:27,486 --> 00:02:30,206
Speaker0:
when i tell myself i have to do something really important instead of

46
00:02:30,206 --> 00:02:33,226
Speaker0:
just writing it down or putting it in the calendar so forth and center all of

47
00:02:33,226 --> 00:02:37,126
Speaker0:
much is very true i say it out loud like i don't know if this is crazy to y'all

48
00:02:37,126 --> 00:02:41,846
Speaker0:
but i say it out loud i'll be in the bathroom teeth finished butts and spit

49
00:02:41,846 --> 00:02:45,366
Speaker0:
out all the water i'm like okay so today i gotta go downstairs record this podcast

50
00:02:45,366 --> 00:02:47,166
Speaker0:
real quick i'll spend some time

51
00:02:47,166 --> 00:02:50,146
Speaker0:
with my people before i get stuck fighting with my family for two weeks,

52
00:02:50,706 --> 00:02:53,966
Speaker0:
I'm going to come back upstairs, throw the last couple of pieces of tech in

53
00:02:53,966 --> 00:02:56,026
Speaker0:
the bag. I'm going to zip everything tight.

54
00:02:56,226 --> 00:02:59,186
Speaker0:
I'm going to grab my flight attendant gift. I'm going to put it all at the door

55
00:02:59,186 --> 00:03:03,146
Speaker0:
and then I'll be ready to go to the airport. So I literally say that out loud.

56
00:03:03,726 --> 00:03:07,826
Speaker0:
You guys have seen me when I'm doing a live sort of behind the scenes.

57
00:03:08,006 --> 00:03:12,786
Speaker0:
I am saying what I'm doing as I'm doing it. It's not because I'm teaching you. That's my brain.

58
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:16,366
Speaker0:
Like if I say it out loud, it's real. I think sometimes you need to hear it.

59
00:03:16,366 --> 00:03:21,226
Speaker0:
So even when you need to remind yourself that you're dope AF, say it.

60
00:03:21,346 --> 00:03:23,626
Speaker0:
Don't just write it down. You know what I mean?

61
00:03:23,626 --> 00:03:24,106
Speaker1:
I'm dope AF?

62
00:03:24,666 --> 00:03:25,106
Speaker0:
Yes.

63
00:03:25,886 --> 00:03:26,986
Speaker1:
Yes. You're dope AF.

64
00:03:27,266 --> 00:03:32,846
Speaker0:
Holla back. I'm dope AF. Like, don't write, don't buy those things from Etsy

65
00:03:32,846 --> 00:03:35,566
Speaker0:
and put them on your wall and not say it out loud.

66
00:03:36,866 --> 00:03:40,786
Speaker0:
You know what I'm saying? Word art, right? Did I send you that clip about word art?

67
00:03:40,986 --> 00:03:44,506
Speaker1:
You did. And I was like, because I feel some kind of way about word art.

68
00:03:44,606 --> 00:03:46,806
Speaker1:
And I was like, oh, good. good i'm glad we're on the same page

69
00:03:46,806 --> 00:03:50,906
Speaker0:

Speaker0:

73
00:04:00,846 --> 00:04:02,326
Speaker1:
Don't just hang it up on your wall dude

74
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:07,286
Speaker0:
Gretchen is dying in the in the backstage over here gretchen is dying i love

75
00:04:07,286 --> 00:04:10,206
Speaker0:

77
00:04:19,146 --> 00:04:27,046
Speaker1:
Thing that i do is i i often surprise people that i don't consume that much content i i

78
00:04:27,046 --> 00:04:28,366
Speaker0:
Take that time.

79
00:04:28,366 --> 00:04:31,206
Speaker1:
To actually be making these people are like how are you making so many videos

80
00:04:31,206 --> 00:04:36,306
Speaker1:
and i was like well i did not see your posts i'll tell you that because i'm busy making things

81
00:04:37,984 --> 00:04:40,884
Speaker1:
So sometimes you need like inspiration, but then sometimes, you know,

82
00:04:40,884 --> 00:04:43,304
Speaker1:
you make your choice where I'm like, well, I could just make things.

83
00:04:43,844 --> 00:04:47,644
Speaker0:
Yeah. And I teach my niece and nephew, create more than you consume.

84
00:04:48,724 --> 00:04:51,144
Speaker0:
Because everyone's like, oh, these kids always, always on social media,

85
00:04:51,164 --> 00:04:53,584
Speaker0:
whatever. I'm like, cool. Do you let them have it? Oh, no, they can't post.

86
00:04:54,044 --> 00:04:58,564
Speaker0:
I'm like, you're kind of generating a problem, son. You know what I mean?

87
00:04:58,604 --> 00:05:01,024
Speaker0:
All right. So there's that. All right. Let's dive in.

88
00:05:01,024 --> 00:05:01,784
Speaker1:
When there's a lot to do.

89
00:05:02,244 --> 00:05:02,564
Speaker0:
Okay.

90
00:05:02,564 --> 00:05:06,324
Speaker1:
Okay, so what we wanted to talk about this today was tips for getting it done,

91
00:05:06,464 --> 00:05:11,544
Speaker1:
which is essentially all these things that we've done in front of you with you

92
00:05:11,544 --> 00:05:13,424
Speaker1:
while we were building this podcast.

93
00:05:13,784 --> 00:05:17,844
Speaker1:
So if you are new to Creators Unstuck, if you go to Doc's YouTube channel,

94
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:24,124
Speaker1:
you will see episodes where we were building this out pre-production and even recording this.

95
00:05:24,124 --> 00:05:28,684
Speaker1:
Up until now, we are recording on Doc's channel this podcast that you will consume

96
00:05:28,684 --> 00:05:33,704
Speaker1:
later so you could see the whole process and everything that we're covering today.

97
00:05:33,804 --> 00:05:39,144
Speaker1:
Like, we live it. We live it. We do it. And we're hoping that it helps get you unstuck. Unstuck.

98
00:05:40,464 --> 00:05:43,264
Speaker0:
So, listen, well, we're getting there. We're getting there.

99
00:05:43,324 --> 00:05:46,604
Speaker0:
So, Saturday, when we finished the episode, right before we hung up,

100
00:05:46,784 --> 00:05:48,904
Speaker0:
I said, okay, here's what I have to do next.

101
00:05:48,904 --> 00:05:54,004
Speaker0:
Next, I need to move episode five over to the iPad because I want to record

102
00:05:54,004 --> 00:05:57,164
Speaker0:
that on my iPad because I'm about to be stuck in the airport lounge and then

103
00:05:57,164 --> 00:05:58,744
Speaker0:
in the airplane for a hot minute.

104
00:05:58,864 --> 00:06:02,684
Speaker0:
So I got my final cut up. I got the files all over there. Ran the Auphonic on it.

105
00:06:02,744 --> 00:06:07,084
Speaker0:
So the sound, my mic sounds nice. Check one. It's all gravy, right?

106
00:06:08,144 --> 00:06:13,224
Speaker0:
Then secondarily, I said, I want to make sure that I get all these episodes

107
00:06:13,224 --> 00:06:16,484
Speaker0:
up on a real actual audio podcast host.

108
00:06:16,904 --> 00:06:22,604
Speaker0:
Okay. OK, so what I did, I went back upstairs. I finished watching my Olympic soccer match.

109
00:06:22,784 --> 00:06:26,764
Speaker0:
I finished watching my Manchester match. And then I had a thing on my calendar

110
00:06:26,764 --> 00:06:31,764
Speaker0:
at the end of the Manchester match was like, drink this coffee and get us online.

111
00:06:32,644 --> 00:06:36,664
Speaker0:
And I just went and did it. Now, during that time.

112
00:06:37,724 --> 00:06:43,364
Speaker0:
I got two different phone calls. Hey, can you help? No, but I need. Yeah, no.

113
00:06:43,964 --> 00:06:46,724
Speaker0:
What about next week? i'm in japan there's like

114
00:06:46,724 --> 00:06:51,124
Speaker0:
oh well who else can i call i'm like yeah so

115
00:06:51,124 --> 00:06:53,804
Speaker0:
you just told me that i'm your only person you call when you need to do

116
00:06:53,804 --> 00:06:56,684
Speaker0:
this type of thing you should have a list of people that you call to do this

117
00:06:56,684 --> 00:06:59,804
Speaker0:
type of thing unless i'm the only one that can do it and so i gave a couple

118
00:06:59,804 --> 00:07:04,764
Speaker0:
things and my buddy was like thanks and that was on right no old school me i

119
00:07:04,764 --> 00:07:07,164
Speaker0:
would have stopped what i was doing jump up and go help my friend right away

120
00:07:07,164 --> 00:07:11,384
Speaker0:
because that's my road dog like you know That's my friend that would jump in front of a bullet,

121
00:07:11,484 --> 00:07:17,144
Speaker0:
but even that person who was legit blood brother type of thing,

122
00:07:17,244 --> 00:07:21,524
Speaker0:
I'm like, no, I cannot disconnect from what I said I needed to do,

123
00:07:21,624 --> 00:07:23,444
Speaker0:
especially knowing I had a limited timeframe.

124
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,144
Speaker0:
I could have put it off till Sunday, but no.

125
00:07:27,184 --> 00:07:28,744
Speaker0:
Sunday's a different day. Okay?

126
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:35,790
Speaker0:
What I'm calling this thing, I just made this name up right in the pre-show.

127
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:40,130
Speaker0:
So I'm trademarked this. Is it you got to block it, you got to lock it,

128
00:07:40,170 --> 00:07:43,190
Speaker0:
and you got to rock it. One, block it in your calendar.

129
00:07:44,350 --> 00:07:50,090
Speaker0:
Two, make it non-negotiable. Like I said it without having to think what the word was.

130
00:07:50,630 --> 00:07:56,650
Speaker0:
Make it non-negotiable. Like nobody can take this time away from you.

131
00:07:56,650 --> 00:08:00,430
Speaker0:
And that in itself will take you some time to build up those defense mechanisms.

132
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:07,110
Speaker0:
You can do things like we have Philips Hue lights. Most of us make your lights a certain color.

133
00:08:07,210 --> 00:08:11,870
Speaker0:
So someone was to walk in the room and be like, if the lights are this color, do not speak.

134
00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:16,290
Speaker0:
Rotate 180 degrees and walk back out.

135
00:08:16,350 --> 00:08:19,250
Speaker0:
The only thing you're allowed to come in this room for is to drop off a fresh

136
00:08:19,250 --> 00:08:25,070
Speaker0:
cup of coffee, a fresh beer, a fresh whiskey, a fresh line or a fresh doobie.

137
00:08:25,690 --> 00:08:29,610
Speaker0:
Nothing else should be said. That's the only thing you can, Gretchen's dying again.

138
00:08:30,110 --> 00:08:36,210
Speaker0:
It's the only thing you can come in the room for, right? And then rock it means get that is done.

139
00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:40,390
Speaker0:
Just rock it, knock it out the box, get in there and knock it out.

140
00:08:40,510 --> 00:08:43,850
Speaker0:
Number one, say you blocked an hour time to do a particular thing.

141
00:08:43,950 --> 00:08:46,050
Speaker0:
You might get it done in 15, 20 minutes.

142
00:08:46,250 --> 00:08:49,770
Speaker0:
Now you're duty free. Now you could do something, right?

143
00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:54,290
Speaker0:
You could add something else to that list, but you cannot deviate from what

144
00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:56,330
Speaker0:
you came to lock it when you came to lock it. Right.

145
00:08:57,530 --> 00:09:00,790
Speaker0:
So I'm talking about dedicating this time to your craft is the most important

146
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:03,570
Speaker0:
thing that you're ever going to do, because if you don't do it, nobody else will.

147
00:09:03,970 --> 00:09:06,050
Speaker0:
Right. So it's very important.

148
00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:11,710
Speaker0:
This is how you prioritize your creative projects. This is how you see them

149
00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:13,910
Speaker0:
through. This is how you get them did.

150
00:09:14,370 --> 00:09:18,650
Speaker0:
You block it, you lock it and you rock it. And one last thing.

151
00:09:18,970 --> 00:09:22,170
Speaker0:
And then I'm going to shut up. I want somebody so I'm pleased.

152
00:09:26,011 --> 00:09:30,551
Speaker0:
So I'll give you an example. When we were the last we were all together,

153
00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:35,631
Speaker0:
my friends are like looking at my email notification, 7000 something and like,

154
00:09:35,711 --> 00:09:37,591
Speaker0:
bro, that makes my face itch.

155
00:09:37,851 --> 00:09:42,671
Speaker0:
And I was like, yeah, I know. But with my job and the amount of stuff I get

156
00:09:42,671 --> 00:09:47,591
Speaker0:
from support tickets and, you know, people just constantly sometimes I get on

157
00:09:47,591 --> 00:09:48,991
Speaker0:
things like I know this is trash.

158
00:09:49,151 --> 00:09:53,711
Speaker0:
I'll just ignore it. But what happens is it makes a little red dot get fatter and fatter and fatter.

159
00:09:54,011 --> 00:09:56,651
Speaker0:
Eventually, Eventually, you'll look at the diet. You'll start feeling some type

160
00:09:56,651 --> 00:09:58,951
Speaker0:
of way, even though, you know, the majority of it is rubbish.

161
00:09:59,651 --> 00:10:05,071
Speaker0:
OK, so I decided that I was going to sit down and I'm going to go through these

162
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:09,231
Speaker0:
emails and I'm going to like fresh these suckers up and then get this box empty

163
00:10:09,231 --> 00:10:10,931
Speaker0:
before I left for my little trip.

164
00:10:12,311 --> 00:10:15,931
Speaker0:
I got that sucker. It says 12 now. You know, when those 12 came in today.

165
00:10:17,251 --> 00:10:21,991
Speaker0:
Like I legit moved. I got rid of 7000 some of the emails, but I didn't do it

166
00:10:21,991 --> 00:10:23,971
Speaker0:
in one setting because that would be stupid. bit.

167
00:10:23,991 --> 00:10:26,411
Speaker0:
The way you eat an elephant is one bite at a time.

168
00:10:26,731 --> 00:10:30,831
Speaker0:
Uh, they're a little tough, so make sure you marinate it with a little baking soda first.

169
00:10:31,251 --> 00:10:38,791
Speaker0:
Um, only, only the people who cook like Chinese food understand that it's called velveting.

170
00:10:38,911 --> 00:10:44,431
Speaker0:
Um, yeah, I just, I just sat there and I took it like literally 15 minutes, 20 minutes at a time.

171
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:50,331
Speaker0:
And then on Sunday, because I didn't say I was going and to help my friend basically

172
00:10:50,331 --> 00:10:54,751
Speaker0:
move some shit, I was able to actually do a lot.

173
00:10:54,831 --> 00:10:58,011
Speaker0:
I cleared like 4,000 on Sunday while I'm watching the Olympics.

174
00:10:58,951 --> 00:11:03,711
Speaker0:
You know what I'm saying? So while they're bantering, I'm just like cleaning

175
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:07,291
Speaker0:
emails, cleaning emails, doing smart filters the whole nine yards. Like it's glorious.

176
00:11:07,451 --> 00:11:10,431
Speaker0:
So yeah, that's how you do it. You block it, lock it, and you rock it.

177
00:11:10,471 --> 00:11:11,551
Speaker0:
Don't let nobody interrupt you.

178
00:11:12,531 --> 00:11:14,071
Speaker0:
Don't think that can interrupt you is death.

179
00:11:16,211 --> 00:11:17,911
Speaker1:
And that's like not up to you anymore.

180
00:11:19,665 --> 00:11:24,245
Speaker1:
Yeah. So with like what what Doc did while he's watching the Olympics and then

181
00:11:24,245 --> 00:11:27,625
Speaker1:
he's clearing out his emails, he's like stacking.

182
00:11:27,765 --> 00:11:30,885
Speaker1:
Right. So it's like you have your time or you want to dedicate to something.

183
00:11:30,945 --> 00:11:34,705
Speaker1:
That doesn't mean like if you got the capability and the bandwidth to stack

184
00:11:34,705 --> 00:11:37,265
Speaker1:
and do something else, then you can do something else.

185
00:11:37,285 --> 00:11:40,885
Speaker1:
It's not like you got to be locked in your office and like locked at your computer all the time.

186
00:11:41,205 --> 00:11:44,325
Speaker1:
But you do have to block the time. I do the same thing.

187
00:11:44,365 --> 00:11:47,365
Speaker1:
That's why I have my live stream that happens twice a week, two hours,

188
00:11:47,565 --> 00:11:49,585
Speaker1:
non-negotiable, has to happen.

189
00:11:49,805 --> 00:11:54,445
Speaker1:
And then while I'm there, then content gets made, people get to see it, and we get to hang out.

190
00:11:54,685 --> 00:12:01,365
Speaker1:
But those things have to happen. But when I did not have that on the calendar, it would go like weeks.

191
00:12:01,405 --> 00:12:03,605
Speaker1:
And I was like, I didn't even do this. I needed to do this.

192
00:12:03,665 --> 00:12:06,205
Speaker1:
Why didn't I do this? Put it on your calendar.

193
00:12:06,665 --> 00:12:10,085
Speaker1:
Put it on your calendar, block out the time make it happen

194
00:12:10,085 --> 00:12:12,745
Speaker0:
Make it happen and you don't have to go get a

195
00:12:12,745 --> 00:12:15,665
Speaker0:
fancy color app do that i use fantastical because i

196
00:12:15,665 --> 00:12:18,405
Speaker0:
do but the uh i'm actually thinking about

197
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:22,905
Speaker0:
going back to the native iphone calendar it's not as feature rich as um as fantastical

198
00:12:22,905 --> 00:12:27,125
Speaker0:
however it is growing up because of things that are coming up with apple intelligence

199
00:12:27,125 --> 00:12:31,005
Speaker0:
and so forth uh that was going to be my pick of the week but i changed it um

200
00:12:31,005 --> 00:12:32,085
Speaker0:
because not everybody has beta

201
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:36,965
Speaker0:
yet um it's sick but yeah like the The calendar app and reminders app,

202
00:12:37,085 --> 00:12:40,605
Speaker0:
that's all built in your phone, your notes app. You don't have to go buy nothing special, fam.

203
00:12:40,765 --> 00:12:45,425
Speaker0:
You can actually get a field notes calendar book.

204
00:12:46,375 --> 00:12:50,415
Speaker0:
Like such and go to town like a yellow piece of paper with a ruler and some

205
00:12:50,415 --> 00:12:52,455
Speaker0:
lines knock yourself out like

206
00:12:52,455 --> 00:12:55,935
Speaker0:
you don't have to go crazy you can get it dead you know what i'm saying.

207
00:12:55,935 --> 00:13:00,395
Speaker1:
Yeah make it just make it a thing for you because if you had to go to work you

208
00:13:00,395 --> 00:13:04,495
Speaker1:
know you can't let other things distract you from your work like you have to

209
00:13:04,495 --> 00:13:06,455
Speaker1:
look at this like this is your work because it is

210
00:13:07,035 --> 00:13:12,775
Speaker1:
if if that's your goal as you want it to be your job so you know that that's

211
00:13:12,775 --> 00:13:14,735
Speaker1:
where like i really grew a lot when I was like, okay,

212
00:13:14,815 --> 00:13:18,835
Speaker1:
I just basically hired myself because I was getting hired out to go do things,

213
00:13:18,875 --> 00:13:22,175
Speaker1:
not having time to do my own things. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

214
00:13:22,295 --> 00:13:25,195
Speaker1:
We got to stop here. We got to stop. I need to just hire myself.

215
00:13:25,535 --> 00:13:30,855
Speaker1:
That time that I'm working for someone else needs to, I need to just work for

216
00:13:30,855 --> 00:13:32,595
Speaker1:
Mary Lou because she needs a really good producer.

217
00:13:32,695 --> 00:13:35,135
Speaker1:
And I know a really good producer. It's Mary Lou. It's Mary Lou.

218
00:13:35,135 --> 00:13:36,815
Speaker1:
Here we are. That's so gangster.

219
00:13:37,275 --> 00:13:41,955
Speaker0:
Oh my God, that's so gangster. So yeah, like again, recording this podcast is

220
00:13:41,955 --> 00:13:45,595
Speaker0:
super important. And so during the the I wanted.

221
00:13:45,655 --> 00:13:49,075
Speaker0:
OK, so Lou and I wanted to get six episodes done before I step on a plane.

222
00:13:49,275 --> 00:13:53,695
Speaker0:
And we did it like we literally did it in a matter of three weeks.

223
00:13:54,115 --> 00:13:57,795
Speaker0:
Right. So now we can go at our regular pace.

224
00:13:58,015 --> 00:14:03,535
Speaker0:
Right. But when someone subscribes to the the now what I just set up on Libsyn

225
00:14:03,535 --> 00:14:05,215
Speaker0:
right currently is just a trailer episodes.

226
00:14:05,335 --> 00:14:08,975
Speaker0:
I'll put the rest of them up while I'm probably at the airport or in Japan or

227
00:14:08,975 --> 00:14:10,415
Speaker0:
in my little downtimes. Right.

228
00:14:11,455 --> 00:14:15,075
Speaker0:
Because the MP3 files are super small, so it doesn't take a lot of,

229
00:14:15,075 --> 00:14:17,035
Speaker0:
you know, bandwidth in order to do that.

230
00:14:17,315 --> 00:14:21,095
Speaker0:
When somebody subscribes to the show, they're going to subscribe to the show

231
00:14:21,095 --> 00:14:22,415
Speaker0:
with six things to listen to.

232
00:14:22,835 --> 00:14:26,635
Speaker0:
So in the two weeks that I'm gone, no one's missing a soul.

233
00:14:26,955 --> 00:14:30,375
Speaker0:
You know what I'm saying? But then when I come back, we can be like bang,

234
00:14:30,435 --> 00:14:32,355
Speaker0:
bang, bang, bang, bang. Just get this business going.

235
00:14:32,515 --> 00:14:36,635
Speaker0:
So that level of blocking is super important. You got to you got to like knock it down.

236
00:14:37,095 --> 00:14:42,135
Speaker0:
All right. So Lou, what's your, what's your kind of come up on this?

237
00:14:43,503 --> 00:14:45,883
Speaker1:
On, on what? I'm confused.

238
00:14:47,263 --> 00:14:51,883
Speaker0:
Yo, just like, so you got your blocking down and I know you follow the smart goals principle.

239
00:14:52,663 --> 00:14:56,003
Speaker1:
Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. Go ahead.

240
00:14:56,323 --> 00:14:57,843
Speaker0:
No, that was it, basically.

241
00:14:58,023 --> 00:15:02,323
Speaker1:
Oh, okay. All right. So like smart goals, right? So it's, this expands on the time thing.

242
00:15:02,743 --> 00:15:06,083
Speaker1:
And I didn't come up with smart goals. It's like out there, but if it's specific,

243
00:15:06,603 --> 00:15:10,803
Speaker1:
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound. So time bound,

244
00:15:10,883 --> 00:15:13,103
Speaker1:
we covered that with the block it, lock it, rock it, right?

245
00:15:13,203 --> 00:15:15,663
Speaker1:
Time bound, make time for it.

246
00:15:15,803 --> 00:15:19,783
Speaker1:
But like you want it to be specific. So what are you doing with that time block, right?

247
00:15:21,243 --> 00:15:25,183
Speaker1:
And measurable, how many episodes did you want to get done in that time block?

248
00:15:25,483 --> 00:15:27,803
Speaker1:
Where did you, how many of these things you wanted to do?

249
00:15:28,903 --> 00:15:31,663
Speaker1:
Achievable has to be like feasible, right? I'm like, I can't be like,

250
00:15:31,723 --> 00:15:33,983
Speaker1:
I need to make a million dollars in the next hour.

251
00:15:34,363 --> 00:15:37,983
Speaker1:
Not quite there yet, but you know, maybe one day let's put it out in the universe.

252
00:15:37,983 --> 00:15:40,663
Speaker1:
And it needs to be relevant to the project at hand.

253
00:15:40,743 --> 00:15:44,103
Speaker1:
So we did exactly that with Creators Unstuck.

254
00:15:44,143 --> 00:15:49,943
Speaker1:
Whenever we were talking in April, this came into as a maybe,

255
00:15:50,203 --> 00:15:51,343
Speaker1:
oh, wouldn't that be fun?

256
00:15:51,703 --> 00:15:56,783
Speaker1:
No, we should actually do this. Okay, we have a deadline. We want to try to

257
00:15:56,783 --> 00:15:59,403
Speaker1:
get this many episodes before Doc goes to Japan.

258
00:15:59,883 --> 00:16:04,183
Speaker1:
We want to accomplish these kind of things. Here's specific times where we will

259
00:16:04,183 --> 00:16:05,823
Speaker1:
work on it in front of people.

260
00:16:06,403 --> 00:16:10,143
Speaker1:
And specific, right? We specifically wanted to make a project,

261
00:16:10,343 --> 00:16:11,983
Speaker1:
a podcast for the creators.

262
00:16:12,423 --> 00:16:15,563
Speaker1:
We know we wanted to make six episodes before Doc left.

263
00:16:16,083 --> 00:16:20,703
Speaker1:
And we know we could do that because we've got the tools in order to do this live.

264
00:16:21,203 --> 00:16:26,563
Speaker1:
It's relevant because it it works with both of our things that we do out on

265
00:16:26,563 --> 00:16:30,503
Speaker1:
the internet right so it is relevant to the bigger projects that we have going

266
00:16:30,503 --> 00:16:34,483
Speaker1:
on and it was time bound you know we we had a time frame it needed to happen

267
00:16:34,483 --> 00:16:36,823
Speaker1:
we had times that it needed to happen and we got it done

268
00:16:37,803 --> 00:16:43,363
Speaker0:
Listen you said something very important and i have been saying this for my

269
00:16:43,363 --> 00:16:48,403
Speaker0:
whole life uh katie and I live by this rule, like build it in public, bro.

270
00:16:48,523 --> 00:16:51,503
Speaker0:
Build it live, build it in public, show what's going on.

271
00:16:51,683 --> 00:16:54,863
Speaker0:
One of the things is you're helping people realize that anybody can do this.

272
00:16:54,923 --> 00:16:57,183
Speaker0:
It doesn't require some kind of like special thing.

273
00:16:57,323 --> 00:17:00,443
Speaker0:
I don't have the superpowers that I can show you guys.

274
00:17:01,454 --> 00:17:04,834
Speaker0:
Their secret but it's it's

275
00:17:04,834 --> 00:17:07,534
Speaker0:
a matter of building it in public because not only helping

276
00:17:07,534 --> 00:17:11,034
Speaker0:
people out but that's part of the accountability like yo

277
00:17:11,034 --> 00:17:18,794
Speaker0:
marcus or mark or uh what is it la creative create la creative right right we'll

278
00:17:18,794 --> 00:17:24,514
Speaker0:
show up or you know uh factor cast eden paul be like hey man where you at huh

279
00:17:24,514 --> 00:17:28,014
Speaker0:
hey you guys supposed to be doing the stream oh yeah okay i'll be right there

280
00:17:28,014 --> 00:17:29,054
Speaker0:
like Like, you know what I mean?

281
00:17:29,094 --> 00:17:33,714
Speaker0:
You can't slide because your crew becomes your accountability partner.

282
00:17:34,194 --> 00:17:37,094
Speaker0:
So I think it's very important that you do it live.

283
00:17:37,214 --> 00:17:42,754
Speaker0:
And the other thing is, listen, in the beginning, this is your permission to be crappy.

284
00:17:43,454 --> 00:17:47,274
Speaker0:
Nobody cares. They all know you're just starting. And you'll get better.

285
00:17:47,874 --> 00:17:48,634
Speaker1:
Do it a mess.

286
00:17:48,954 --> 00:17:53,214
Speaker0:
Do it messy. Do it messy. Start ugly. Do it messy. I'm cute.

287
00:17:53,874 --> 00:17:55,374
Speaker1:
It's already cute to begin with.

288
00:17:55,454 --> 00:17:59,334
Speaker0:
Start ugly. And then literally you build up from there, you build that muscle,

289
00:17:59,434 --> 00:18:03,074
Speaker0:
you already build out how to deal with mistakes, how to handle any things that

290
00:18:03,074 --> 00:18:05,154
Speaker0:
might come upon you, so forth, so on, et cetera.

291
00:18:05,334 --> 00:18:08,614
Speaker0:
So bingo, bingo, pickle, mango, let's get this done.

292
00:18:09,194 --> 00:18:12,474
Speaker1:
All right. So before we move on, let's talk about some of our sponsors.

293
00:18:12,614 --> 00:18:18,334
Speaker1:
One of them is something that you've been building in person in front of us. Yes. In public.

294
00:18:18,674 --> 00:18:22,754
Speaker1:
It didn't start ugly. It started cute. But, you know, it's here.

295
00:18:22,854 --> 00:18:26,754
Speaker1:
It's here. It's the dog pop. So like I've got the pink one and Doc's got the

296
00:18:26,754 --> 00:18:30,134
Speaker1:
purple one where it's in pre-sale right now.

297
00:18:30,214 --> 00:18:33,694
Speaker1:
A lot of colors for you to choose from, but definitely, definitely,

298
00:18:33,734 --> 00:18:38,574
Speaker1:
definitely go ahead and order your Doc Pops so we can all look fresh and sound fresh.

299
00:18:39,014 --> 00:18:42,374
Speaker1:
And I really want to get like a Brady Bunch photo with all the different colors.

300
00:18:42,394 --> 00:18:46,274
Speaker1:

322
00:20:09,632 --> 00:20:13,772
Speaker1:
this is a dream project that I think we could accomplish at some point is I

323
00:20:13,772 --> 00:20:17,352
Speaker1:
want to do a creator studio home makeover show.

324
00:20:17,652 --> 00:20:18,052
Speaker0:
Yes.

325
00:20:18,692 --> 00:20:22,932
Speaker1:
We can go in, you know, like people do their home makeover in the kitchen, this and that.

326
00:20:22,992 --> 00:20:28,172
Speaker1:
This is like, it's been my dream for years is to do this like renovation show

327
00:20:28,172 --> 00:20:30,252
Speaker1:
and like go in and make these changes.

328
00:20:30,312 --> 00:20:33,872
Speaker1:
But like we, you know, like for years, it's just building like the people, right?

329
00:20:33,952 --> 00:20:37,172
Speaker1:
It's like knowing different companies that would want to be down with this,

330
00:20:37,232 --> 00:20:42,332
Speaker1:
aligning with the right people who can help facilitate and execute this.

331
00:20:42,472 --> 00:20:44,252
Speaker1:
And like, then we could go do it.

332
00:20:44,432 --> 00:20:47,252
Speaker0:
Listen, I'm going to just put a stamp on this bitch right now.

333
00:20:47,332 --> 00:20:51,032
Speaker0:
I'm going to block it and I'm going to lock it and I'm going to rock it. Okay.

334
00:20:51,660 --> 00:21:01,020
Speaker0:
For our creator unstuck anniversary, let's call it 8-1-25, we will start that contest.

335
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,700
Speaker1:
I love that.

336
00:21:02,820 --> 00:21:12,620
Speaker0:
We got 360 days. I was going to add the other numbers. No, we got 360.

337
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker0:
We got 360 days. We are going to do that. That is it. We're going to lock this joint down.

338
00:21:19,180 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker0:
And you know what? what if we miss and it takes us 380 we still did it you know

339
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:28,020
Speaker0:
what i'm saying somebody can be you guys did it still did it 20 days later we

340
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker0:
like bitch you didn't win no matter what you automatically lose all right so that is.

341
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker1:
Right that's another thing with these goals right with these goals is that it's

342
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker1:
with the the block it lock it rocket it's it's to set parameters for yourself

343
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:46,100
Speaker1:
but don't beat yourself up if you can't hit it you know like it's just parameters

344
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:49,820
Speaker1:
to get you going in the right direction, something to aim at.

345
00:21:49,940 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker1:
Like you don't, you don't make

346
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker1:
every basket, right? Like to my sports ball people, you don't do it, but.

347
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker0:
I thought you were talking about like weaving. Yeah.

348
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker1:
You know, like, I mean, I was like, you know, throw it, toss it in with the thing.

349
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker1:
So this is just like parameters to help you get going.

350
00:22:06,420 --> 00:22:12,900
Speaker1:
But please, please don't beat yourself up if, you know, you don't cross the finish line.

351
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker1:
It's okay. Because there's still more time.

352
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker0:
And again, I want to remind you something, especially when it comes to your

353
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,780
Speaker0:
accountability partners or just your family or crew.

354
00:22:23,825 --> 00:22:30,485
Speaker0:
Right. I saw like, you know, Yolanda posted something yesterday and I just want

355
00:22:30,485 --> 00:22:32,165
Speaker0:
to slide in and be like, hey, I see you.

356
00:22:32,425 --> 00:22:37,465
Speaker0:
You know what I mean? I got the response back. So I know it meant something to her.

357
00:22:37,825 --> 00:22:43,085
Speaker0:
But, you know, it wasn't for any other reason. I just want to remind a homie

358
00:22:43,085 --> 00:22:44,665
Speaker0:
that's family now. Right.

359
00:22:45,165 --> 00:22:48,445
Speaker0:
Yolanda is like that new person to the family. Like she just married into it.

360
00:22:48,525 --> 00:22:49,825
Speaker0:
So we got to give her a hard time first.

361
00:22:50,045 --> 00:22:53,905
Speaker0:
But then she cool. So she passed the test. So now she's good. We give her love.

362
00:22:54,065 --> 00:22:58,445
Speaker0:
I saw she posted something. I was just like, yo, you know, here's a little something

363
00:22:58,445 --> 00:22:59,685
Speaker0:
to keep you going kind of thing.

364
00:23:00,005 --> 00:23:03,465
Speaker0:
Because I think it's very important that you support your homies.

365
00:23:03,545 --> 00:23:06,945
Speaker0:
So even a slide by, hey, I can't stay. Just came to say hi.

366
00:23:07,645 --> 00:23:11,165
Speaker0:
Dude, that lets your people know that that means a lot.

367
00:23:11,365 --> 00:23:17,205
Speaker0:
You know what I mean? So I saw you line to post something and it was dope and was really cool.

368
00:23:17,365 --> 00:23:20,245
Speaker0:
I don't know if she'd done this prior, but she was doing something that I had

369
00:23:20,245 --> 00:23:23,885
Speaker0:
recently talked about is don't always just get your little app out to make a

370
00:23:23,885 --> 00:23:25,165
Speaker0:
social media post, write that

371
00:23:25,165 --> 00:23:29,385
Speaker0:
joint on a piece of paper with your hand and take a picture and post it.

372
00:23:29,565 --> 00:23:33,865
Speaker0:
And she did exactly that. And it was, I was like, oh, people pay attention to this.

373
00:23:33,925 --> 00:23:38,445
Speaker0:
She might not have heard a damn thing I said, but it's the timing of it sort of matched.

374
00:23:38,745 --> 00:23:43,245
Speaker0:
So I told myself that is working. And that gives me the Tinkerbell juice to

375
00:23:43,245 --> 00:23:45,745
Speaker0:
keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing, which is out here,

376
00:23:45,825 --> 00:23:49,405
Speaker0:
you know, trying to get you guys to get, tell these stories and not be afraid

377
00:23:49,405 --> 00:23:52,625
Speaker0:
to deprogram, which your mom and them told you.

378
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:57,345
Speaker1:
Right, which is like, it is, I think, of the points we were going to share today,

379
00:23:57,425 --> 00:24:01,505
Speaker1:
the one that I feel is the most important and impactful and that I am most grateful

380
00:24:01,505 --> 00:24:05,625
Speaker1:
for is finding an accountability partner,

381
00:24:05,985 --> 00:24:10,645
Speaker1:
finding a community, making a mastermind, just getting some like-minded people

382
00:24:11,445 --> 00:24:14,005
Speaker1:
that can help push you in the right direction.

383
00:24:14,105 --> 00:24:17,665
Speaker1:
Because there's been many times where I was like, oh, I can't live stream,

384
00:24:17,725 --> 00:24:21,445
Speaker1:
like just some stuff happened, in like, I can't, I feel like I can't, I feel like I can't.

385
00:24:21,485 --> 00:24:25,025
Speaker1:
But then that, that little message, it's like, I'm looking forward to hanging out today.

386
00:24:25,305 --> 00:24:27,485
Speaker1:
And I'm like, you know what? Yeah. All right, let's do it.

387
00:24:27,925 --> 00:24:30,125
Speaker1:
And then it changed it. It just turns into everything around.

388
00:24:30,445 --> 00:24:33,265
Speaker0:
You know, it was really crazy when I was a little kid. I never noticed until

389
00:24:33,265 --> 00:24:38,265
Speaker0:
just now, when you said that this very instant taint, I used to sit on the floor

390
00:24:38,265 --> 00:24:41,185
Speaker0:
in front of my grandpa watching Orioles baseball.

391
00:24:41,705 --> 00:24:44,565
Speaker0:
I used to sit on the floor with a hard cover.

392
00:24:45,305 --> 00:24:48,145
Speaker0:
I think I can, Can I think I can a little engine that could.

393
00:24:49,716 --> 00:24:53,836
Speaker0:
I, I, a couple of hundred thousand times I read that book as a little kid.

394
00:24:54,016 --> 00:24:56,796
Speaker0:
I was sitting on the floor cause I was like, read out loud kind of thing.

395
00:24:56,856 --> 00:24:59,336
Speaker0:
Right? Like I was able to read when I was like three or four,

396
00:24:59,396 --> 00:25:00,596
Speaker0:
but that's, that was the book.

397
00:25:00,676 --> 00:25:04,356
Speaker0:
That was what went with me. The pages was all jacked up and it had like a little

398
00:25:04,356 --> 00:25:06,896
Speaker0:
bump to it. Cause they started to make, they call it like a relief book.

399
00:25:07,396 --> 00:25:11,396
Speaker0:
Right. It had a little bar relief action going on. And I used to read that constantly.

400
00:25:11,696 --> 00:25:13,676
Speaker0:
I think that might be why I'm like this.

401
00:25:14,156 --> 00:25:18,076
Speaker0:
Cause when I was a little kid, bro, I always was, I think I can.

402
00:25:18,156 --> 00:25:19,676
Speaker0:
I think I can. and I think I can.

403
00:25:19,976 --> 00:25:22,236
Speaker0:
You know, that's so crazy.

404
00:25:22,816 --> 00:25:26,976
Speaker0:
That is so crazy. I just never thought it into right now. Thank you, Luke.

405
00:25:27,536 --> 00:25:32,016
Speaker1:
Yeah, because it makes it the thinking about it, right? You think you can,

406
00:25:32,176 --> 00:25:34,796
Speaker1:
so now you can. Because if you think you can't, then you can't.

407
00:25:35,456 --> 00:25:36,696
Speaker0:
Man, it's a trip.

408
00:25:36,716 --> 00:25:37,996
Speaker1:
But like we're telling you, you can though.

409
00:25:38,216 --> 00:25:41,796
Speaker0:
Look, you just gave me chicken skin to think of my grandpa. But yeah, that's crazy.

410
00:25:42,056 --> 00:25:45,836
Speaker0:
I legit used to sit there and read that book always. And he probably gave it

411
00:25:45,836 --> 00:25:48,296
Speaker0:
to me. Like that's kind of psycho.

412
00:25:49,176 --> 00:25:52,716
Speaker1:
And you think about like with this community, right? If you're someone who's

413
00:25:52,716 --> 00:25:57,916
Speaker1:

come in and get us like and i'm all about that life so good all right so,

422
00:26:31,736 --> 00:26:36,436
Speaker0:
man we flying through this let's get to our what's next should we do a bullet

423
00:26:36,436 --> 00:26:39,776
Speaker0:
pick of the week pick Pick of the week. Oh, pick of the week. Pick of the week.

424
00:26:41,272 --> 00:26:45,692
Speaker0:
Picks of the Week. I'm going to actually build that at some point.

425
00:26:45,772 --> 00:26:46,952
Speaker0:
Right now, I got to fake it.

426
00:26:49,032 --> 00:26:53,232
Speaker0:
So, oh my God. He is so mental. What is wrong with him?

427
00:26:53,232 --> 00:26:56,512
Speaker1:
You come back season three, we're going to have all the sound effects or we'll

428
00:26:56,512 --> 00:26:57,452
Speaker1:
just keep rocking with this.

429
00:26:57,472 --> 00:27:03,272
Speaker0:
Just keep using the doc made it up with his face. Making music with your mouth, biz.

430
00:27:03,472 --> 00:27:08,332
Speaker0:
Okay, so my pick of the week is actually the Blackmagic camera app.

431
00:27:08,332 --> 00:27:12,692
Speaker0:
And I'm going to tell you to go to your phone and I want you to download this joint for free.

432
00:27:12,852 --> 00:27:15,972
Speaker0:
Number one, my buddy Jefferson Graham, he's doing this contest.

433
00:27:16,192 --> 00:27:18,152
Speaker0:
By the time some people hear this, that contest is going to be over.

434
00:27:18,292 --> 00:27:22,472
Speaker0:
But if you happen to catch this ahead of time, he's giving away a Blackmagic

435
00:27:22,472 --> 00:27:25,152
Speaker0:
camera, $2,600 Blackmagic 6K segment camera.

436
00:27:25,792 --> 00:27:30,112
Speaker0:
However, what you want to do, the Blackmagic camera app is so dope that I actually

437
00:27:30,112 --> 00:27:32,332
Speaker0:
have it as the super button on my iPhone.

438
00:27:33,512 --> 00:27:39,172
Speaker0:
Okay. That said remote disconnected. Why did it say that? They added remote camera app.

439
00:27:40,032 --> 00:27:45,952
Speaker0:
So if you're in a situation like we at NAB and we need to do a video,

440
00:27:46,152 --> 00:27:50,852
Speaker0:
we could take two phones, my phone and your phone, and set them up on either

441
00:27:50,852 --> 00:27:52,412
Speaker0:
side of the booth with our little,

442
00:27:52,952 --> 00:27:55,412
Speaker0:
Ulanzi pull-up tripods, MT-70.

443
00:27:55,572 --> 00:27:58,852
Speaker0:
I make sure I remember what that is. Just pull them up, bang, go to town.

444
00:27:59,032 --> 00:28:05,772
Speaker0:
And we can take a third phone or the iPad and set it up as a monitor with remote control.

445
00:28:06,192 --> 00:28:11,312
Speaker0:
Okay. So I can just hit go on that. These phones would be in position and then

446
00:28:11,312 --> 00:28:12,892
Speaker0:
you can start and stop and trigger.

447
00:28:13,032 --> 00:28:17,512
Speaker0:
So you can either do it as a monitor. So you can just see what's popping or you can do it as a remote.

448
00:28:17,632 --> 00:28:22,332
Speaker0:
So you can control the other apps. Very similar to the Final Cut joint,

449
00:28:22,432 --> 00:28:24,932
Speaker0:
but it's Blackmagic. So it has way more controls.

450
00:28:25,869 --> 00:28:29,849
Speaker0:
And you can make it sync the recordings. I'm going to say that again.

451
00:28:30,189 --> 00:28:34,209
Speaker0:
Sync the recordings. So that way, all the recordings from the two or three different

452
00:28:34,209 --> 00:28:37,769
Speaker0:
phones you got popping off, I think it's up to four, will record back to,

453
00:28:37,809 --> 00:28:40,729
Speaker0:
say, the iPad if that's the master. And I got an iPad info.

454
00:28:41,149 --> 00:28:45,189
Speaker0:
So, hey, I can just write in the final cut in the iPad.

455
00:28:45,489 --> 00:28:49,429
Speaker0:
Bing, bing, bing. Cap cut in the iPad. Bong, bong, bong. Content did.

456
00:28:49,849 --> 00:28:50,969
Speaker1:
And am I correct?

457
00:28:51,169 --> 00:28:52,189
Speaker0:
Sexy coffee shop.

458
00:28:52,189 --> 00:29:01,189
Speaker1:
The black magic camera app is free 95 free 95 95 and it's very good like i've

459
00:29:01,189 --> 00:29:06,389
Speaker1:
used it because i want to be able to see the audio levels because this was my

460
00:29:06,389 --> 00:29:11,189
Speaker1:
year of audio and i i needed to see the levels so i know learning

461
00:29:11,189 --> 00:29:13,869
Speaker0:
Audio to rock in the podcast what it do beefs do.

462
00:29:13,869 --> 00:29:15,869
Speaker1:
Hey so

463
00:29:15,869 --> 00:29:19,729
Speaker0:
Like you'll see on mine like i have little red lines those tells me that my

464
00:29:19,729 --> 00:29:23,549
Speaker0:
face is in focus anywhere you you see the red sparkles, that means I didn't focus.

465
00:29:23,629 --> 00:29:26,669
Speaker0:
The number one thing I use it for, because I hate when I recorded this whole

466
00:29:26,669 --> 00:29:28,509
Speaker0:
video and I look at it and I was like, ew, that's out of focus.

467
00:29:28,909 --> 00:29:32,469
Speaker0:
Topaz Lab for video will fix that, but most of y'all will scream at,

468
00:29:32,549 --> 00:29:37,069
Speaker0:
I think it's $300 looking at Gretchen's face because she knows all about Topaz.

469
00:29:37,949 --> 00:29:41,369
Speaker0:
Yeah, and same thing with images. If you take images and you have a little blur,

470
00:29:41,429 --> 00:29:42,729
Speaker0:
I'm going to save that for a different pic. Never mind.

471
00:29:43,209 --> 00:29:47,829
Speaker0:
Hi, Mary Lou. What is your pic of the week? And I have one of these,

472
00:29:47,849 --> 00:29:49,009
Speaker0:
but I only have the shorty.

473
00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:52,949
Speaker1:
Okay so this is uh it's like a new piece

474
00:29:52,949 --> 00:29:56,629
Speaker1:
for me but it's like the ember tumbler and

475
00:29:56,629 --> 00:29:59,349
Speaker1:
because i spend time here like at the desk right and like i

476
00:29:59,349 --> 00:30:04,429
Speaker1:
like to have my coffee this is a coffee mug that keeps it hot but the bonus

477
00:30:04,429 --> 00:30:07,409
Speaker1:
of it being the tumbler is that it's got a cover because i'm like a child and

478
00:30:07,409 --> 00:30:11,049
Speaker1:
i need to cover on my sippy cup otherwise i'm gonna spill on top of all of my

479
00:30:11,049 --> 00:30:17,289
Speaker1:
expensive gear here so the tumbler like it connects to an app and you can choose the temperature

480
00:30:17,969 --> 00:30:20,629
Speaker1:
this like it's definitely been here a couple hours and it's still hot

481
00:30:21,296 --> 00:30:25,236
Speaker0:
Because I'm over here singing the sippy cup song and trying not to let it out on the Internet.

482
00:30:27,556 --> 00:30:32,376
Speaker1:
Yeah, it's so good. I it was one of these that I've wanted for a long time and

483
00:30:32,376 --> 00:30:34,856
Speaker1:
I just like was resistant. I was like, I don't know. I don't know.

484
00:30:35,356 --> 00:30:39,076
Speaker1:
And then I acquired one and it's fantastic.

485
00:30:39,576 --> 00:30:43,056
Speaker1:
The hype is real. If if you like your hot drinks.

486
00:30:43,356 --> 00:30:47,236
Speaker1:
Yo, so and this one's like waterproof, too. So like, yeah, it's meant,

487
00:30:47,256 --> 00:30:50,036
Speaker1:
I think, for you to go like hiking or like camping and stuff like that.

488
00:30:50,036 --> 00:30:53,976
Speaker1:
So like if you dropped it in water, like, you know, don't go diving with this. Not necessary, but.

489
00:30:54,096 --> 00:30:58,096
Speaker0:
But you need to clean it. So that's why it's waterproof. But you know, I'm super dope.

490
00:30:58,236 --> 00:31:01,216
Speaker0:
I was the same thing. I wanted one for the longest time. I always thought like,

491
00:31:01,216 --> 00:31:04,196
Speaker0:
I'm not going to buy that. It's one of those things that seems kind of expensive,

492
00:31:04,336 --> 00:31:05,916
Speaker0:
but when you have it, you understand why.

493
00:31:06,736 --> 00:31:12,876
Speaker0:
But one day I got a box in the mail. This is what I talk about appreciating your people. Okay.

494
00:31:13,296 --> 00:31:17,116
Speaker0:
One day I get a box in the mail, unrequited, didn't know it was coming,

495
00:31:17,136 --> 00:31:19,676
Speaker0:
just showed up. And I was like, box in the mail.

496
00:31:20,816 --> 00:31:24,056
Speaker0:
Ken Aspisley, what the heck did Ken send me?

497
00:31:24,216 --> 00:31:31,036
Speaker0:
I opened the box and Ken and Glenn bought all of us Ember mugs just because

498
00:31:31,036 --> 00:31:34,516
Speaker0:
they bought one and they were like, this is dope.

499
00:31:34,856 --> 00:31:37,456
Speaker0:
I'm going to send this to all my people, right?

500
00:31:38,036 --> 00:31:42,056
Speaker0:
That's that level of just like, appreciate your folks, man.

501
00:31:42,136 --> 00:31:47,096
Speaker0:
I'm just saying, like, that's why I, I have to, when we have our little private

502
00:31:47,096 --> 00:31:48,416
Speaker0:
conversation, I'm not going to cry.

503
00:31:49,036 --> 00:31:51,976
Speaker0:
When I have my private conversations with, like, Luis or Paul,

504
00:31:52,136 --> 00:31:55,936
Speaker0:
like, I just got to remind them, like, y'all are dope, bro. Like, y'all are dope.

505
00:31:56,156 --> 00:31:59,456
Speaker0:
Because, honestly, we can't do half of the stuff we do without them.

506
00:32:00,316 --> 00:32:05,556
Speaker0:
And I think a lot of times it's easy to miss that. And, like, Paul is legit Superman.

507
00:32:06,136 --> 00:32:13,896
Speaker0:
And I think, to me, like, AT, she's in the back. We've seen Luis in real life, like, being the dad.

508
00:32:14,096 --> 00:32:17,296
Speaker0:
Everybody else knows him as Mr. Cameron Junkie. We see Luis the dad.

509
00:32:18,236 --> 00:32:21,496
Speaker0:
Yo that joint leaks me right because

510
00:32:21,496 --> 00:32:24,656
Speaker0:
brother's some special and then

511
00:32:24,656 --> 00:32:30,036
Speaker0:
paul those are og lgl we know where he came through to be where he at right

512
00:32:30,036 --> 00:32:34,436
Speaker0:
now also that shit leaks me and if you don't know what that means look it up

513
00:32:34,436 --> 00:32:39,356
Speaker0:
in your hip-hop dictionary fool but yeah it's uh it's a thing and now i just

514
00:32:39,356 --> 00:32:44,196
Speaker0:
want to say the tour real quick because she's in the chat um yes michael who did that video.

515
00:32:44,436 --> 00:32:49,436
Speaker0:
If you're watching the same one that I'm thinking of with Michael Tobin, my homie, one of my NAB.

516
00:32:49,696 --> 00:32:52,176
Speaker0:
White t-shirt boy, because he actually wears white t-shirt instead.

517
00:32:52,536 --> 00:32:56,216
Speaker0:
But he's hella cool and he's very smart about the app. So everything he's ever

518
00:32:56,216 --> 00:32:58,376
Speaker0:
put out about the app, make sure you watch that so you can get up to speed.

519
00:32:58,896 --> 00:33:00,616
Speaker1:
And that's in reference to Blackmagic.

520
00:33:00,736 --> 00:33:01,456
Speaker0:
Blackmagic camera app.

521
00:33:01,556 --> 00:33:02,456
Speaker1:
Yeah. Cool.

522
00:33:02,756 --> 00:33:05,796
Speaker0:
Somebody could be listening to this later and be like, what is he talking about?

523
00:33:05,876 --> 00:33:07,316
Speaker1:
What is he talking, like the Ember Mug?

524
00:33:07,956 --> 00:33:08,276
Speaker0:
Yeah.

525
00:33:10,396 --> 00:33:11,496
Speaker1:
It's like barely straightforward.

526
00:33:12,036 --> 00:33:15,736
Speaker0:
I love my Ember Mug. A.T. is telling me we're squirreling. Okay,

527
00:33:15,836 --> 00:33:18,456
Speaker0:
so let's get back on track. Thank you, A.T.

528
00:33:20,522 --> 00:33:24,362
Speaker1:
This is why the live studio audience is magical as well. Like,

529
00:33:24,362 --> 00:33:26,622
Speaker1:
I'm so grateful for them, like, because we can see some faces.

530
00:33:26,662 --> 00:33:27,842
Speaker1:
We can see some smiling faces.

531
00:33:28,022 --> 00:33:30,662
Speaker1:
I'm grateful for the chat that happens while we're doing this.

532
00:33:30,862 --> 00:33:32,942
Speaker1:
Like, it really makes a difference.

533
00:33:33,162 --> 00:33:36,802
Speaker1:
And if you are out there, maybe you're just like lurking and you're not feeling

534
00:33:36,802 --> 00:33:41,182
Speaker1:
confident enough to say anything yet, then please say hi.

535
00:33:41,362 --> 00:33:43,642
Speaker1:
We're here. We're here for you. We're here with you.

536
00:33:44,422 --> 00:33:48,442
Speaker0:
Very little. Look at the foolishness that's going on in the back room.

537
00:33:48,482 --> 00:33:52,722
Speaker1:
Oh, I see. Oh, there's an actual squirrel in the room. There's an actual squirrel.

538
00:33:53,602 --> 00:33:59,382
Speaker0:
Dang it. So listen, what you just said ties completely into our last bullet.

539
00:33:59,882 --> 00:34:07,342
Speaker0:
Because our backstage crew is very much our accountability group, right?

540
00:34:08,002 --> 00:34:12,582
Speaker0:
You got your accountability partner. You got your accountability group. A mastermind.

541
00:34:13,422 --> 00:34:17,502
Speaker0:
Ours are broken minds. A beautiful mind.

542
00:34:17,502 --> 00:34:21,162
Speaker0:
Like some kind of

543
00:34:21,162 --> 00:34:25,582
Speaker0:
mine shoddy i don't mind if

544
00:34:25,582 --> 00:34:28,982
Speaker0:
you didn't stop yeah it's uh i

545
00:34:28,982 --> 00:34:32,202
Speaker0:
think it's very important and people say this all the time accountability group accountability

546
00:34:32,202 --> 00:34:35,762
Speaker0:
group and then some people don't be doing it like a lot of apps even have it

547
00:34:35,762 --> 00:34:41,082
Speaker0:
or a ring tells you to add folks to your or a ring so you can keep that going

548
00:34:41,082 --> 00:34:46,742
Speaker0:
right you keep that momentum going and i think I think sometimes folks will

549
00:34:46,742 --> 00:34:51,282
Speaker0:
silo themselves out of fear that, you know, you're going to be judged.

550
00:34:51,722 --> 00:34:55,722
Speaker0:
Yes, you're going to be judged. Like, that's part of the deal.

551
00:34:55,902 --> 00:35:03,842
Speaker0:
But it's so that you can course correct, right? No one's judging you to rip you up.

552
00:35:03,942 --> 00:35:06,262
Speaker0:
They're just course correcting you, right?

553
00:35:06,382 --> 00:35:10,882
Speaker0:
So we're watching the 1500 meters.

554
00:35:11,862 --> 00:35:15,562
Speaker0:
And it's the Manly Olympic season, what it is. And as they're running,

555
00:35:15,682 --> 00:35:21,042
Speaker0:
they do a little nudging to get through the cracks to make your way to the front.

556
00:35:21,122 --> 00:35:23,642
Speaker0:
But you're just lightly hitting the shoulder to shoulder. It's not like you,

557
00:35:23,662 --> 00:35:25,022
Speaker0:
bam, knock the dude down.

558
00:35:25,162 --> 00:35:30,442
Speaker0:
Because as a runner, you know what it feels like to be at three quarter sprint

559
00:35:30,442 --> 00:35:34,142
Speaker0:
or in the middle of your kick and fall. Every one of us has done it.

560
00:35:34,762 --> 00:35:39,762
Speaker0:
That joint hurts. You scuff both hands because you go like this at speed.

561
00:35:39,962 --> 00:35:43,962
Speaker0:
You dent up your knees. You get gigantic like road rash on your thigh.

562
00:35:44,562 --> 00:35:48,302
Speaker0:
No runner does that to another runner on purpose. Now, even though they're trying

563
00:35:48,302 --> 00:35:50,942
Speaker0:
to win, they got to do the little ting, ting, ting to get through.

564
00:35:51,322 --> 00:35:54,462
Speaker0:
It is no like, boom, bitch, get out the way. Like you just give a little pam,

565
00:35:54,582 --> 00:35:56,202
Speaker0:
pam and you just sort of like shoulder your way through.

566
00:35:57,513 --> 00:36:00,713
Speaker0:
Very similar we're going the same way we're all trying to get to the finish

567
00:36:00,713 --> 00:36:04,173
Speaker0:
line and yes a little race because of course there's internal competition we're

568
00:36:04,173 --> 00:36:07,973
Speaker0:
family that's point that's what it's for you know but no one's going to push

569
00:36:07,973 --> 00:36:10,813
Speaker0:
you down except maybe gretchen she's gangster,

570
00:36:12,153 --> 00:36:17,093
Speaker0:
i don't trust her gretchen to be like oh how you slip my bad and just try to

571
00:36:17,093 --> 00:36:21,273
Speaker0:
give you that old q old granny look but she doesn't knock your ass out so there's

572
00:36:21,273 --> 00:36:22,953
Speaker0:
that gangster grandma yeah Yeah.

573
00:36:23,193 --> 00:36:26,413
Speaker1:
And it's not just like communities and accounts. You could start small.

574
00:36:26,673 --> 00:36:29,813
Speaker1:
Just to have a friend that gets what you're doing.

575
00:36:30,093 --> 00:36:33,333
Speaker1:
They might not understand creator life at all, but you're like,

576
00:36:33,413 --> 00:36:37,433
Speaker1:
can I call you once a week and just tell you where I'm at with this so you can

577
00:36:37,433 --> 00:36:40,093
Speaker1:
check on me and see, am I on track?

578
00:36:40,453 --> 00:36:42,473
Speaker1:
Because there's things you just can't see within yourself.

579
00:36:42,993 --> 00:36:45,613
Speaker1:
I can look at somebody else and I'm like, oh, I know exactly.

580
00:36:46,013 --> 00:36:47,313
Speaker1:
Do this, this, this, this, this.

581
00:36:47,613 --> 00:36:50,013
Speaker1:
You're going to be golden. But when I look at myself sometimes,

582
00:36:50,113 --> 00:36:54,713
Speaker1:
I'm like, I don't know what to do and people are so surprised that i was like

583
00:36:54,713 --> 00:37:00,773
Speaker1:
because you can't always see the whole picture when you are in it so having a group is helpful

584
00:37:00,773 --> 00:37:04,033
Speaker0:
Yeah it's super helpful like it really is even,

585
00:37:04,633 --> 00:37:08,473
Speaker0:
yesterday i got a chance to record with anna forges wasn't feeling well and

586
00:37:08,473 --> 00:37:13,953
Speaker0:
then i had to do some promo stuff anyway and you know you just get to catch

587
00:37:13,953 --> 00:37:20,393
Speaker0:
up with how amazing creator she is she She came in with a whole new layout and a whole new look.

588
00:37:20,793 --> 00:37:23,033
Speaker0:
And I was like, yo, I never even thought of that before.

589
00:37:23,493 --> 00:37:26,513
Speaker0:
But she had a problem. She's like, I wish I could do this, this,

590
00:37:26,553 --> 00:37:29,273
Speaker0:
and this. It was one of those things where I wish Ecamm had these sliders so

591
00:37:29,273 --> 00:37:30,533
Speaker0:
we can do this. I'm like, you can do that now.

592
00:37:30,933 --> 00:37:34,493
Speaker0:
And she's like, how? And I was like, here. And she's like, how do you know that?

593
00:37:34,613 --> 00:37:38,233
Speaker0:
I don't know. I just made it up just now. But it works. Because I processed

594
00:37:38,233 --> 00:37:41,093
Speaker0:
some thinking I had from old Photoshop days.

595
00:37:41,413 --> 00:37:43,913
Speaker0:
And Ecamm has a similar feature. And I'm like, yeah, we can do that.

596
00:37:44,293 --> 00:37:47,313
Speaker0:
And so we did it. We did it live. It was like, oh, dude, this works.

597
00:37:47,313 --> 00:37:52,353
Speaker0:
This is quite amazing, but that's the kind of stuff where if you have a group

598
00:37:52,353 --> 00:37:55,953
Speaker0:
of people, maybe you thought it out soup to nuts.

599
00:37:57,063 --> 00:38:00,303
Speaker0:
But you know what you forgot? You forgot the croutons or the little toasty.

600
00:38:00,383 --> 00:38:02,943
Speaker0:
You know when you get the little toasty with the cheese on top that go for your

601
00:38:02,943 --> 00:38:04,863
Speaker0:
tomato soup? Like, you forgot that part.

602
00:38:05,223 --> 00:38:07,903
Speaker0:
You know what I'm saying? And so it's like, yo, the soup is banging,

603
00:38:07,943 --> 00:38:09,223
Speaker0:
but fam, you need a piece of bread.

604
00:38:09,703 --> 00:38:14,083
Speaker0:
You need a little biscuit. Or some, what do they call it? Oyster crackers for

605
00:38:14,083 --> 00:38:16,063
Speaker0:
your clam chowder. You know what I mean? Oh, yes.

606
00:38:16,663 --> 00:38:21,083
Speaker1:
Oh, God. And that's what you could be with people who are doing similar, similar things.

607
00:38:21,083 --> 00:38:24,743
Speaker1:
Things and while it could feel competitive it also

608
00:38:24,743 --> 00:38:27,543
Speaker1:
gives you different viewpoints right so

609
00:38:27,543 --> 00:38:30,423
Speaker1:
like what doc does and what i do like we have similar kind of

610
00:38:30,423 --> 00:38:33,203
Speaker1:
things but then he had not seen like how

611
00:38:33,203 --> 00:38:38,003
Speaker1:
cap cut works and i didn't know how to find my levels on my audio you know like

612
00:38:38,003 --> 00:38:42,663
Speaker1:
so you getting in front of other people and with other people and collaborating

613
00:38:42,663 --> 00:38:47,543
Speaker1:
and just discussing things and being open to like what you don't know and what

614
00:38:47,543 --> 00:38:50,663
Speaker1:
you can know and what you can share because you have something to offer too.

615
00:38:50,783 --> 00:38:54,783
Speaker1:
You know, it's not like you're just coming like, please, sir, please give me info.

616
00:38:55,423 --> 00:38:57,223
Speaker1:
You have stuff to offer as well.

617
00:38:58,063 --> 00:39:00,843
Speaker0:
Yo, and last thing on the accountability group, I just want to make sure you

618
00:39:00,843 --> 00:39:01,783
Speaker0:
understand this right away.

619
00:39:02,143 --> 00:39:06,463
Speaker0:
The person who you're working with does not even have to be doing the same thing.

620
00:39:06,563 --> 00:39:11,703
Speaker0:
It doesn't have to be another creator. It could just be another person who gets their done, right?

621
00:39:11,903 --> 00:39:16,923
Speaker0:
So maybe you're slacking, but your kid is relatively gangster on homework.

622
00:39:16,923 --> 00:39:21,983
Speaker0:
Work give them the opportunity to clap back at you for not doing your creator stuff,

623
00:39:23,943 --> 00:39:27,603
Speaker0:
because the last thing you want to do is let your kid down so for

624
00:39:27,603 --> 00:39:30,643
Speaker0:
those of y'all that happen to be crazy enough to have some of those little germ

625
00:39:30,643 --> 00:39:36,423
Speaker0:

Speaker0:
take my ass downstairs and make them shorts or do whatever.

630
00:39:52,603 --> 00:39:57,103
Speaker0:
You know what I mean? Like, your accountability partner really doesn't have to be another creator.

631
00:39:57,203 --> 00:40:02,303
Speaker0:
It could just be somebody who will put a foot in your hand pots if you start to slack.

632
00:40:03,043 --> 00:40:05,783
Speaker0:
Yeah. Yeah. And start with something small so you can beat it.

00:41:31,773 --> 00:41:34,673
Speaker0:
Paul said, maybe Cortana got a woman. Yes, Paul.

652
00:41:35,113 --> 00:41:36,833
Speaker1:
It's true. It's possible.

653
00:41:36,973 --> 00:41:40,873
Speaker0:
She's from Seattle. She's from Seattle. It's possible.

654
00:41:42,233 --> 00:41:48,273
Speaker1:
All right. What is a good parameter or something that someone can think about

655
00:41:48,273 --> 00:41:52,073
Speaker1:
in order to make a goal achievable, to create an achievable goal?

656
00:41:52,913 --> 00:41:57,993
Speaker0:
Okay. So here is my thing on goals. I am not going to take the word away from

657
00:41:57,993 --> 00:42:00,493
Speaker0:
people because it totally works and it is very important.

658
00:42:00,673 --> 00:42:05,273
Speaker0:
However, what I like to do is once you can get, if it's a proportional thing, right?

659
00:42:05,393 --> 00:42:11,333
Speaker0:
Like say your goal is to eat vegetarian once a week.

660
00:42:11,653 --> 00:42:18,053
Speaker0:
Okay. So how do you make that happen? Come up with a system that makes it repeatable, right?

661
00:42:18,133 --> 00:42:21,313
Speaker0:
If it's one of those type of tasks, give yourself a system.

662
00:42:21,393 --> 00:42:25,113
Speaker0:
So it's not just don't make goals, but as much as you make goals figure out

663
00:42:25,113 --> 00:42:32,133
Speaker0:
how to make a system because systems save yourself stress time energy money system.

664
00:42:32,133 --> 00:42:36,873
Speaker1:
Oh gosh we got all the like sayings today we got the block it lock it rocket

00:42:41,873 --> 00:42:43,913
Speaker0:
New ice cube system.

667
00:42:43,913 --> 00:42:51,593
Speaker1:
Okay all right my last question for you today is who's your favorite accountability partner mary

668
00:42:51,593 --> 00:42:53,313
Speaker0:
Lou mandel I.

669
00:42:53,313 --> 00:42:54,293
Speaker1:
Thought you were going to be like, it's Paul.

670
00:42:57,236 --> 00:43:00,256
Speaker0:
Dude, Paul is not accountability. Paul is like, hey, stupid,

671
00:43:00,396 --> 00:43:03,336
Speaker0:
what are you doing? Get your ass down there and do X. That's different.

672
00:43:03,416 --> 00:43:04,236
Speaker0:
That's not even accountability.

673
00:43:04,916 --> 00:43:07,796
Speaker0:
Y'all be saying I yell at y'all. Guess what?

674
00:43:07,816 --> 00:43:12,696
Speaker0:
I get yelled at by this 95-year-old git in San Francisco.

675
00:43:12,716 --> 00:43:16,476
Speaker0:
He waking me up sometimes at 4 in the morning and be like, oh,

676
00:43:16,516 --> 00:43:18,936
Speaker0:
I forgot the time zone. Paul, I'm going to kick your butt.

677
00:43:19,876 --> 00:43:24,956
Speaker0:
But that's my homie. I love my Paul. Get your own Paul. Leave my Paul alone, damn it.

678
00:43:25,536 --> 00:43:29,096
Speaker1:
See, I mean, that's the number one is get yourself a Paul. That's the number

679
00:43:29,096 --> 00:43:29,916
Speaker1:
one tip for getting things done.

680
00:43:30,016 --> 00:43:35,556
Speaker0:
You're so lucky that you have a will. Karen says that me and Paul are like old

681
00:43:35,556 --> 00:43:37,296
Speaker0:
married couple because we be fighting.

682
00:43:38,316 --> 00:43:41,056
Speaker0:
And I was like, Karen, Paul get on my damn nerves today. She goes,

683
00:43:41,116 --> 00:43:43,056
Speaker0:
yeah, I know. You can say that once a week.

684
00:43:46,916 --> 00:43:50,896
Speaker0:
But yes, it's my old married couple. Paul is my internet husband.

685
00:43:51,216 --> 00:43:54,936
Speaker0:
So it's what it is. I get yelled at by a-hole all the time.

686
00:43:55,736 --> 00:44:00,136
Speaker1:
I am grateful that I have Will. If you have somebody at home that can get on

687
00:44:00,136 --> 00:44:02,556
Speaker1:
board with what you're doing, that understands what you're doing,

688
00:44:02,576 --> 00:44:03,916
Speaker1:
you don't even have to create together.

689
00:44:04,236 --> 00:44:07,916
Speaker1:
But it is nice. It is very, very good.

690
00:44:08,056 --> 00:44:13,816
Speaker1:
And it was a key requirement for me when I was last looking for a new relationship.

691
00:44:13,936 --> 00:44:16,296
Speaker1:
It was like, you got to be down with me living this life.

692
00:44:16,516 --> 00:44:19,536
Speaker0:
Put that on your Tinder. All you guys who got space on your Tinder,

693
00:44:19,596 --> 00:44:21,416
Speaker0:
put it on Tinder. Must create YouTube video.

694
00:44:23,676 --> 00:44:26,376
Speaker1:
Or must understand that you create YouTube videos.

695
00:44:26,516 --> 00:44:29,676
Speaker0:
Or must create OnlyFans so you know your income is good.

696
00:44:30,516 --> 00:44:32,436
Speaker1:
Yeah, that you can pay for yours.

697
00:44:32,636 --> 00:44:35,936
Speaker0:
The thing that kind of like put it all back, like we've been doing this stuff

698
00:44:35,936 --> 00:44:41,396
Speaker0:
for a minute, but literally, I'm telling you, fam, our little creator house situation...

699
00:44:42,858 --> 00:44:46,558
Speaker0:
Oh, my God. That just changed everything. That would unlock the code.

700
00:44:46,738 --> 00:44:48,818
Speaker0:
That legit unlocked the code.

701
00:44:49,178 --> 00:44:54,378
Speaker0:
And just I knew right away that we could make something dope.

702
00:44:54,658 --> 00:44:59,018
Speaker0:
Right. The things that we would come up with on the fly between me,

703
00:44:59,098 --> 00:45:02,598
Speaker0:
Eden, Mary Lou and Kat, like walking around the show floor and just figuring things out.

704
00:45:02,678 --> 00:45:05,778
Speaker0:
I'm like, we got to do something with this connection because we have a dope connection.

705
00:45:05,918 --> 00:45:08,998
Speaker0:
Right. we're like um what is that team squad

706
00:45:08,998 --> 00:45:11,998
Speaker0:
team something squad team titan squad

707
00:45:11,998 --> 00:45:14,718
Speaker0:
i forgot what it's called um i was a little old when

708
00:45:14,718 --> 00:45:19,038
Speaker0:
it came out but it was um very popular cartoon at one point but yeah we're like

709
00:45:19,038 --> 00:45:24,838
Speaker0:
them or voltron or something and then uh freaking rick said mary lou has will

710
00:45:24,838 --> 00:45:31,178
Speaker0:
power that didn't come it's true that's so that's so good that is so good team

711
00:45:31,178 --> 00:45:32,538
Speaker0:
titan force thank you AT.

712
00:45:32,818 --> 00:45:38,458
Speaker0:
She got it. Teen Titans. Yeah, we're kind of like 40-something Titans. I'm older than that.

713
00:45:40,338 --> 00:45:44,878
Speaker0:
And Eden's not quite. But yeah, it was good. And so I just knew something good could come out of it.

714
00:45:44,938 --> 00:45:49,618
Speaker0:
So I'm glad we were able to harness said energy and put it into a thing and

715
00:45:49,618 --> 00:45:51,338
Speaker0:
bring something dope out of it.

716
00:45:51,378 --> 00:45:53,778
Speaker0:
Because otherwise, you're just bumping gums.

717
00:45:54,098 --> 00:45:57,498
Speaker0:
All right, I'm going to give you guys one more of my little random doc-isms.

718
00:45:57,898 --> 00:45:59,258
Speaker0:
And I want you to hold on to this.

719
00:46:00,398 --> 00:46:02,498
Speaker0:
Because I think I I might have said it in a different episode,

720
00:46:02,618 --> 00:46:06,378
Speaker0:
but I'm going to say it again because I think it's very important that you go

721
00:46:06,378 --> 00:46:08,598
Speaker0:
in, you see your people, you give them props, right?

722
00:46:08,718 --> 00:46:13,978
Speaker0:
When you see somebody going, but don't just go tell people that you're inspired by something.

723
00:46:14,198 --> 00:46:17,958
Speaker0:
Show them your inspiration. Go do something with what they said,

724
00:46:18,078 --> 00:46:20,858
Speaker0:
put it into action, and then show them.

725
00:46:20,938 --> 00:46:24,058
Speaker0:
To me, that's a better saying. Oh, I'm so inspired.

726
00:46:24,298 --> 00:46:28,038
Speaker0:
I don't give a shit. You know what's inspired me? Them stupid word arts at Ross's.

727
00:46:28,038 --> 00:46:29,838
Speaker0:
You know why they always be at Ross's?

728
00:46:29,918 --> 00:46:32,738
Speaker0:
Because nobody buy that mess except for, no, I can't say it on the internet.

729
00:46:34,018 --> 00:46:39,398
Speaker0:
But no more word art, fam. Like, do art. You know what I'm saying? Do art.

730
00:46:39,778 --> 00:46:43,818
Speaker0:
Oh, this is my happy place. Why are you in there bitching at your kids?

731
00:46:44,058 --> 00:46:47,418
Speaker0:
It ain't your happy place. The kids can't be in the room bitching at,

732
00:46:47,558 --> 00:46:50,398
Speaker0:
it's a happy place why they get yelled at about their homework.

733
00:46:51,198 --> 00:46:57,298
Speaker1:
So a question for you then. How is it different than words on shirts and mugs?

734
00:46:59,216 --> 00:47:04,916
Speaker0:
Technically it's not why you gotta miss a game changer i am a game changer though no.

735
00:47:04,916 --> 00:47:08,116
Speaker1:
But you know those it's it is different because like if you're actually taking

736
00:47:08,116 --> 00:47:11,216
Speaker1:
action then whatever words you got hanging anywhere as long as you're taking

737
00:47:11,216 --> 00:47:13,896
Speaker1:
action then then we're cool

738
00:47:13,896 --> 00:47:17,476
Speaker0:
