175 - Being a business owner, I decide to take the podcast in a different direction for a change and talk shop. First off, thank you to Ecamm Live for allowing me to be a beta tester. I am still working on some bugs but Ecamm Live has really upped my production value, as well as given me green screen capabilities. YouTube Link here: https://youtu.be/KLFLSd7cDiE The "Next Person Up" mentality basically gives you a choice, even if you aren't ideally staffed. Do you continue to work with someone unreliable who refuses to do what you tell them to do, or do you take a chance on the "Next Person Up". The 'NPU' would have to learn a lot, you would have to invest a lot of time teaching and training.... but isn't that a better use of your time than making up for someone's mistakes who refuses to learn? (The answer is hell yes... duh) The 80/20 rule is basically this... If you are spending 80% of your time with people that get you nowhere, whether a customer or an employee, you are only spending 20% of your time with the people that can help you do something meaningful. Although you may have to sacrifice an employee or customer, it would give you time to train and teach, as well as do business with those who will help you move forward - and that will help you in the long run and pay dividends for in future.

174 - I record a podcast solely with the Backpack Studios app, earbuds for monitoring only, and the iPhone's internal microphone. Backpack Studio replaces the popular Bossjock Jr. app. I recorded this with no practice. It is super easy to grab your soundbytes from your iCloud files. If I had practiced more, I would have turned up the volume on my intro and outro. I definitely recommend this product as an alternative to portable podcasting. I would like to see improved functionality with bluetooth microphones so that I'm not dependent on the iPhone's internal microphone - so I don't have to stay the same distance from the phone. For a visual of me using the app on YouTube (with audio from the app): https://youtu.be/2AssOAXHGMo Download your copy for portable podcasting: http://backpackstudioapp.com Equipment used to record: Backpack Studios App Air buds for monitoring.

173 - I describe a conversation with Chael Sonnen. After some friendly banter Chael gets furious takes things to the next level, suggesting I call him - because he doesn't think The Sopranos is quality television. He wrote a cute little promo in 20 minutes and decided he'd try it out on me. I'm his daddy.

Keep weeding out the negative - non-family members first More consistent podcasting (maybe a schedule) Up my YouTube video production game.
