1 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:16,200 Create art podcast and find a podcast about combo episode. 2 00:00:20,539 --> 00:00:24,340 Hey friends, this is Timothy Kimo, Brian head instigator for create 3 00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:30,059 art podcast and your guide to the pod verse for find a podcast about. 4 00:00:31,190 --> 00:00:35,170 So this is going to be a interesting thing because I'm putting this 5 00:00:35,170 --> 00:00:37,879 out on both of my main podcasts. 6 00:00:38,860 --> 00:00:44,854 And I'm I just recently attended a podcast conference called Empowered 7 00:00:44,925 --> 00:00:51,205 Podcast, and that was up in North Carolina, Charlotte, North Carolina. 8 00:00:52,134 --> 00:00:53,474 And I thought, you know what? 9 00:00:54,364 --> 00:00:58,155 The things that I learned there, I wanted to talk to you about, let 10 00:00:58,155 --> 00:01:02,965 you know what's going on with both shows and just kind of, you know, 11 00:01:02,974 --> 00:01:04,845 have a little chat here with you. 12 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,620 And discuss all these things that are going on. 13 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,010 So this is going to be brand new for me. 14 00:01:12,010 --> 00:01:22,160 And I hope that both my sets of audiences will be happy to hear this stuff and, 15 00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:26,830 you know, maybe you are a listener of find a podcast about, and you're like, 16 00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:28,470 Hey, you know, Tim runs that other one. 17 00:01:28,835 --> 00:01:29,885 Let's take a listen to it. 18 00:01:29,885 --> 00:01:31,115 Or maybe vice versa. 19 00:01:31,515 --> 00:01:34,915 You listen to create our podcast and, you know, you need a. 20 00:01:35,745 --> 00:01:39,095 Podcast that gives you something to listen to while you're creating art. 21 00:01:39,755 --> 00:01:41,965 So that's what we're going to do here. 22 00:01:42,585 --> 00:01:48,325 So as some of you know, maybe you don't, I am a member of a group called pod match. 23 00:01:48,825 --> 00:01:51,885 And what that is, it's it helps. 24 00:01:52,565 --> 00:01:56,455 Guests and hosts get together in a common space and find each other. 25 00:01:56,935 --> 00:02:02,055 I've been using pod match now for quite some time, and you can go to pod match. 26 00:02:02,295 --> 00:02:03,835 com to get all the details on it. 27 00:02:03,865 --> 00:02:09,094 But what happens with pod match is, is I create a profile as a host, and then 28 00:02:09,105 --> 00:02:11,245 we have guests that create a profile. 29 00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:14,630 And we match up with each other. 30 00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:18,230 A lot of times things are suggested other times, you know, people 31 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,820 just find me out of the blue. 32 00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:24,689 So that's what I mainly do for the create art podcast. 33 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,980 That's where I usually get a lot of my guests from there. 34 00:02:28,789 --> 00:02:31,960 And you've heard many of these guests on the show. 35 00:02:33,090 --> 00:02:35,480 And I find it really great because. 36 00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:40,480 Instead of just going to Facebook and being a part of all those groups where 37 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,990 everyone's promoting their own podcast in pod match, we get to, you know, discuss 38 00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:52,270 our wins with podcasting, our losses with podcasting, what we're struggling 39 00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:53,939 with, what we're doing really good on. 40 00:02:54,590 --> 00:02:58,270 And one of the things that I really like about it is it kind of gives 41 00:02:58,270 --> 00:03:01,440 us a little bit of news of what's going on in the podcast industry. 42 00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:06,030 Oh, maybe a month or two ago. 43 00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:10,390 I got a message from there from Alex Sanfilippo, who I actually got to 44 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:12,660 meet at this conference in person. 45 00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:17,964 I've been talking with him offline or online for a while now, but got a message 46 00:03:17,964 --> 00:03:23,264 from him about this new podcast conference called empowered podcast conference. 47 00:03:23,334 --> 00:03:24,024 And. 48 00:03:25,264 --> 00:03:27,614 There was a 20 percent discount on the tickets. 49 00:03:27,614 --> 00:03:29,614 And I thought, well, Hey, let's, let's do that. 50 00:03:29,614 --> 00:03:33,474 Because usually the conferences I attend here, there's the Indy 51 00:03:33,474 --> 00:03:35,745 pod conference up in New Jersey. 52 00:03:36,435 --> 00:03:39,685 And there used to be a DC pod fest many years ago. 53 00:03:39,685 --> 00:03:42,014 Unfortunately, it is no longer with us. 54 00:03:42,975 --> 00:03:45,285 But I've been attending conferences like that. 55 00:03:45,305 --> 00:03:50,525 And of course, PodFest, I did that online, but this one was about a 56 00:03:50,525 --> 00:03:52,115 five and a half hour drive away. 57 00:03:52,115 --> 00:03:53,515 And I thought, yeah, I can do that. 58 00:03:53,585 --> 00:03:54,575 That's not a problem. 59 00:03:54,635 --> 00:03:58,345 And you know, Hey, North Carolina is our neighboring state. 60 00:03:58,345 --> 00:04:00,085 So it's not that far. 61 00:04:00,085 --> 00:04:05,905 And so I went ahead and bought tickets for it using the discount code. 62 00:04:06,825 --> 00:04:10,535 And that's great thing that you can do when you are in these podcast groups. 63 00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:15,320 Now, a lot of times you can get discounts to to conferences or 64 00:04:15,870 --> 00:04:17,410 services or stuff like that. 65 00:04:18,050 --> 00:04:22,970 So I went and it was a nice drive, you know, about five and 66 00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:25,450 a half hours, you know, nice weather and all that good stuff. 67 00:04:25,460 --> 00:04:30,730 A lot got to listen to a lot of podcasts on the way down and, I got into North 68 00:04:30,730 --> 00:04:35,410 Carolina and I got to the hotel, got all checked in and, you know, I had all my 69 00:04:35,410 --> 00:04:37,760 bags packed and everything was good to go. 70 00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:44,440 And it was just, it was nice to, you know, get away from the day job which 71 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,860 I do here in my man cave studio. 72 00:04:48,090 --> 00:04:52,240 And just, you know, to get around people that love the same thing I 73 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,530 do, which is podcasting, which is, you know, communicating with you. 74 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:05,840 So I got to the hotel, got all my bags undone, and I went down to the second 75 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:11,090 floor and there were people talking about podcasting at this communal table. 76 00:05:11,425 --> 00:05:17,285 The second floor had a bar, had all the conference rooms and had a restaurant 77 00:05:17,285 --> 00:05:19,445 right there with a big communal table. 78 00:05:19,915 --> 00:05:21,455 And I heard somebody say the word podcast. 79 00:05:21,465 --> 00:05:25,085 So immediately I go over and I go, are you guys part of the conference? 80 00:05:25,095 --> 00:05:26,005 And they're like, yeah. 81 00:05:26,055 --> 00:05:30,155 And I got to meet, you know, the the founder of the pod of the conference 82 00:05:30,815 --> 00:05:32,705 and some of the other podcasters. 83 00:05:32,945 --> 00:05:35,165 And we just, it was like we were old friends. 84 00:05:35,165 --> 00:05:38,174 We immediately went to what we knew. 85 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,390 And it's fantastic. 86 00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:44,530 Now, yes, I do love my family and I do love my friends here, 87 00:05:44,530 --> 00:05:47,789 but I understand they get tired of me saying the word podcast. 88 00:05:47,860 --> 00:05:50,349 I think right now I've already said it about eight or 10 times. 89 00:05:50,970 --> 00:05:54,849 So I know my family, they, they love what I do. 90 00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:58,990 They love that brings me joy, but they're not into it and that's okay. 91 00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:00,230 That's, that's not a problem. 92 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:07,230 But being around people that are really into podcasting, That's, that, that's 93 00:06:07,230 --> 00:06:11,760 a special treat that I get maybe one or two times a year to be around podcasters. 94 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:15,550 So we were, you know, talking for a while there, there was a party 95 00:06:15,570 --> 00:06:17,650 the first night I did not go to. 96 00:06:18,670 --> 00:06:22,110 Just because I was tired, you know, it did five and a half hours of driving. 97 00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:25,210 I'm of a certain age and I was good to go. 98 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,920 So I went ahead and went upstairs to my room had some room service come 99 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,490 in and ate dinner and had a hard time sleeping because the room was humid we 100 00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:40,770 were staying at the Hyatt in Charlotte, Hyatt Center in Charlotte lovely hotel. 101 00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:44,690 The staff there was magnificent just a little humid in the room. 102 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,330 And of course, you know, I didn't have my wife there, you know, to sleep next 103 00:06:48,330 --> 00:06:50,430 to me and didn't have my fan going on. 104 00:06:50,430 --> 00:06:53,770 So that first night was a little bit rough going to bed. 105 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,570 I think I woke up like 20 times. 106 00:06:55,875 --> 00:07:02,285 Anyhow, next day get up I go and grab some breakfast at this 107 00:07:02,285 --> 00:07:04,645 place called Smelly Cat Coffee. 108 00:07:05,354 --> 00:07:07,634 And just wonderful people there. 109 00:07:07,674 --> 00:07:08,994 They had my order ready. 110 00:07:09,464 --> 00:07:12,335 I was chit chatting with some of the staff there and it was 111 00:07:12,335 --> 00:07:13,784 just, wow, this is really cool. 112 00:07:13,794 --> 00:07:15,139 This is really nice. 113 00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:23,110 So get back to the hotel and register in, get my big old placard, my name on there. 114 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,669 And I have to say, I have to backtrack a little bit here. 115 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,829 I was wearing a t shirt that said, I make cute babies the first day when I got to 116 00:07:34,829 --> 00:07:37,369 the hotel and everybody loved that shirt. 117 00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:40,239 And so I got to be known as the guy that makes cute babies. 118 00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,799 And that was kind of the running gag throughout the whole time there. 119 00:07:44,549 --> 00:07:47,809 And so the next day you know, in the morning get there, register 120 00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:50,789 and we're handed this this journal. 121 00:07:50,789 --> 00:07:57,464 Now I had already purchased on Canva a notebook for this 'cause I'd like 122 00:07:57,464 --> 00:08:00,284 to do that just so that way I can have something to write on, write notes 123 00:08:00,289 --> 00:08:01,664 on and all that kind of good stuff. 124 00:08:02,534 --> 00:08:07,409 But they gave us this journal and, on the schedule, it was the 125 00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:08,889 opening remarks and all that. 126 00:08:08,889 --> 00:08:12,019 And then they were talking about setting intention. 127 00:08:13,229 --> 00:08:15,299 And I thought that was a little bit odd. 128 00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:17,779 I was like, well, yeah, I think our intention is pretty clear. 129 00:08:17,779 --> 00:08:20,059 We're here to learn more about podcasting and network. 130 00:08:21,409 --> 00:08:25,529 But once the opening remarks got done which, yeah, it was a little bit late, 131 00:08:25,539 --> 00:08:27,139 but I think that was a hotel issue. 132 00:08:27,139 --> 00:08:28,879 It wasn't the organizers issue. 133 00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:33,239 We had a gentleman stand up and talking about setting our intentions 134 00:08:33,239 --> 00:08:38,049 and he kind of took us through this visualization of, you know, why we're 135 00:08:38,049 --> 00:08:43,729 here, what we want to get out of this and what we're going to do to get 136 00:08:43,749 --> 00:08:46,019 what we want out of this experience. 137 00:08:47,234 --> 00:08:50,284 And the journal that they gave us, we could write our intentions. 138 00:08:50,284 --> 00:08:53,074 There are things that, you know, we want to embrace and 139 00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:54,804 things we want to let go of. 140 00:08:55,174 --> 00:08:57,514 And a lot of blank pages in there as well. 141 00:08:57,544 --> 00:09:00,664 A lot of information about the conference and how it got 142 00:09:00,664 --> 00:09:02,264 started and all that good stuff. 143 00:09:02,874 --> 00:09:07,294 And I thought, you know, I've attended a bunch of conferences before and I 144 00:09:07,294 --> 00:09:13,094 haven't had, A guided journal like this ever at any other conference. 145 00:09:13,614 --> 00:09:16,604 So, you know, for those of you that, you know, run these kinds of conferences, 146 00:09:17,094 --> 00:09:21,914 take a lesson from these guys that was magnificent because then it got me 147 00:09:21,914 --> 00:09:24,234 in the mindset of what am I here for? 148 00:09:24,644 --> 00:09:25,954 What do I want to embrace? 149 00:09:25,974 --> 00:09:27,364 What do I want to let go? 150 00:09:28,994 --> 00:09:34,434 So the, you know, the conference gets going and I had my good friend 151 00:09:34,444 --> 00:09:39,274 Alex Sanfilippo from PodMatch, he was doing a doing a talk there. 152 00:09:39,734 --> 00:09:43,874 And so I got to sit through that and meet up with him and his, and his wife, 153 00:09:44,574 --> 00:09:46,114 and I actually gave them t shirts. 154 00:09:47,099 --> 00:09:51,729 But the thing that and there was, let me also explain this too. 155 00:09:51,739 --> 00:09:55,069 There was three different rooms that you could go to that had 156 00:09:55,069 --> 00:09:59,869 talks and that were about a half hour, 45 minutes for each talk. 157 00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:01,749 And so. 158 00:10:03,084 --> 00:10:07,874 Met up with Alex and his wife, gave him some t shirts for, for my show they 159 00:10:07,874 --> 00:10:12,784 loved it you know, and I was wearing a wild no, it was a black and white 160 00:10:12,784 --> 00:10:18,424 Hawaiian shirt button up shirt, which is a inside joke between Alex and myself. 161 00:10:19,379 --> 00:10:22,899 So, but everything was, you know, kind of leaning towards what is 162 00:10:22,899 --> 00:10:25,949 your intention and authenticity. 163 00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:29,139 The the track that I attended was called a growth track. 164 00:10:29,459 --> 00:10:31,709 So it was all about how to grow your podcast. 165 00:10:32,189 --> 00:10:35,889 And there's a lot of people talking about being genuine, being authentic. 166 00:10:36,619 --> 00:10:42,309 And it really touched me because my intention was to grow community. 167 00:10:43,109 --> 00:10:43,899 And. 168 00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:48,979 I really was impressed with the way that everything was kind of 169 00:10:48,989 --> 00:10:53,889 woven in together and you know, everything's going back to intention. 170 00:10:53,899 --> 00:10:59,669 So let me talk about what intention means. 171 00:11:00,659 --> 00:11:09,769 Now the definition for intention is it's a noun and A thing that is intended, 172 00:11:09,929 --> 00:11:16,129 an aim, a plan synonyms for it is purpose, intent, objective, object, 173 00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:22,759 goal, target, end, design, plan, scheme, resolve, you know, all those great words. 174 00:11:23,169 --> 00:11:27,719 Intention actually comes from an old French word intention 175 00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:30,579 or from Latin for intention. 176 00:11:30,849 --> 00:11:33,139 And that means stretching purpose. 177 00:11:34,859 --> 00:11:40,879 And I thought, wow, you know, what is my intention for create our podcast 178 00:11:40,949 --> 00:11:46,159 and find a podcast about, and somebody had to talk about, you know, kind of, 179 00:11:46,349 --> 00:11:48,069 you know, getting back to your why. 180 00:11:48,999 --> 00:11:53,669 And I was thinking, well, what pain point, what problem am I trying to solve for 181 00:11:53,669 --> 00:11:56,249 people that listen to either of the shows? 182 00:11:57,594 --> 00:12:01,614 So let me talk to you a little bit about my intention for create our podcast, 183 00:12:01,614 --> 00:12:05,664 and then I'll go into find a podcast about, and I'll let you know, you know, 184 00:12:05,764 --> 00:12:07,824 what kind of issues I'm trying to solve. 185 00:12:09,494 --> 00:12:13,934 So for create our podcast, what I'm trying to the problem that I'm 186 00:12:13,934 --> 00:12:18,994 trying to address and the people that I'm trying to reach are this. 187 00:12:18,994 --> 00:12:23,814 Gets a bad name and a lot of times it's from artists themselves 188 00:12:24,204 --> 00:12:26,424 and we get how do I say it? 189 00:12:26,434 --> 00:12:27,495 A little hippy dippy. 190 00:12:28,134 --> 00:12:33,625 We, we, we, we think more of ourselves than maybe we should. 191 00:12:34,905 --> 00:12:38,685 We're not really clear on, you know, what we're trying to do. 192 00:12:40,485 --> 00:12:42,065 Sometimes we're really esoteric. 193 00:12:42,275 --> 00:12:47,955 So the problem I'm trying to solve here is to remove the mystery behind art. 194 00:12:48,315 --> 00:12:52,995 And, you know, sometimes, yeah, even us artists, we, you know, what is 195 00:12:52,995 --> 00:12:56,835 inspiration, what is expression, what can we do, you know, what, what's 196 00:12:56,835 --> 00:12:58,175 our right and left limits here. 197 00:12:58,805 --> 00:13:04,665 Even for artists, it can be a difficult thing to to create and to know what to do. 198 00:13:04,665 --> 00:13:10,045 And then for, you know, our, our audience members for those that appreciate our 199 00:13:10,045 --> 00:13:13,945 art, it can be difficult for them to peer into what we're trying to say and do. 200 00:13:14,614 --> 00:13:18,625 So what I'm trying to do with create art podcast is to remove that mystery. 201 00:13:19,255 --> 00:13:24,765 I'm trying to encourage people to participate in the arts, not just, 202 00:13:24,825 --> 00:13:28,945 you know, a, You know, at first Friday of the month that we have here in 203 00:13:28,945 --> 00:13:33,605 Fredericksburg, Virginia, we have the galleries that open up now, just, you 204 00:13:33,605 --> 00:13:37,775 know, sit there and look at art, but actually get, get your hands dirty and 205 00:13:37,775 --> 00:13:44,585 create some art because I've noticed in my life, what is what art has done for me. 206 00:13:44,585 --> 00:13:50,165 It is, it quite literally has kept me alive and I've seen the effect 207 00:13:50,165 --> 00:13:51,405 that it's had on other people. 208 00:13:51,815 --> 00:13:55,735 When I used to work for the United States army as a transition coordinator. 209 00:13:56,265 --> 00:13:58,475 One of the things that we used was art therapy. 210 00:13:59,124 --> 00:14:04,844 When I lived in Chicago, I joined a veteran art group that, you know, was 211 00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:08,914 comprised of veterans that were using art therapy and, you know, and that was a way 212 00:14:08,914 --> 00:14:15,369 for us to express ourselves for us to kind of deal with and come to terms You know, 213 00:14:15,369 --> 00:14:19,949 the experiences that we've had in the world, both in service and out of service. 214 00:14:20,899 --> 00:14:26,170 And I remember there was a a gentleman when I was working for the army that, 215 00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:30,829 you know, I'd sit in the smoking area at the time I smoked cigarettes and 216 00:14:30,829 --> 00:14:32,459 he was making all these drawings. 217 00:14:33,184 --> 00:14:35,454 And he's like, yeah, these are no good. 218 00:14:35,464 --> 00:14:38,144 And I'm looking, I'm going, these should be hanging in a gallery. 219 00:14:38,154 --> 00:14:41,354 You can actually sell these, you know, you might want to, you know, look in 220 00:14:41,354 --> 00:14:45,684 the graphic arts because, you know, he was doing he was infantry guy, 221 00:14:45,694 --> 00:14:49,874 so, you know, he knows how to, you know, fire a weapon and and build a 222 00:14:49,874 --> 00:14:51,574 tent and, you know, kill the enemy. 223 00:14:52,124 --> 00:14:54,604 But I'm, I'm looking at this art that he's doing. 224 00:14:55,549 --> 00:14:56,699 with this art therapy. 225 00:14:57,089 --> 00:14:59,479 And I'm like, dude, you could make some money at this. 226 00:14:59,669 --> 00:15:01,209 You, this could be your vocation. 227 00:15:01,859 --> 00:15:06,509 There's another gentleman that I was one of my one of my folks. 228 00:15:07,090 --> 00:15:12,529 And in his, when he wasn't full time army he worked for a like 229 00:15:13,029 --> 00:15:14,009 UPS or something like that. 230 00:15:14,509 --> 00:15:17,739 He was one of the guys that drove trucks, but he really 231 00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:19,669 got interested in woodworking. 232 00:15:20,154 --> 00:15:25,074 And, you know, he would make these beautiful bowls and spoons and pens, 233 00:15:25,694 --> 00:15:27,534 and he had a real gift for that. 234 00:15:27,544 --> 00:15:30,844 And I told him, I was like, this is something that you should think about. 235 00:15:31,164 --> 00:15:34,124 He's like, yeah, but I'm not an artist and I don't want to, you 236 00:15:34,124 --> 00:15:36,074 know, do this artsy fartsy crap. 237 00:15:36,124 --> 00:15:38,444 I mean, and I was like, well, do you get enjoyment out of it? 238 00:15:38,444 --> 00:15:39,974 And he's like, yeah, it really calms me down. 239 00:15:39,974 --> 00:15:43,624 And, you know, I'm, I'm creating something and I'm like, there you go. 240 00:15:44,904 --> 00:15:48,354 Because he was getting out of the military anyways, he was being 241 00:15:48,404 --> 00:15:50,014 I'm medically retired anyways. 242 00:15:50,684 --> 00:15:52,674 And he didn't know what he was going to do with his life. 243 00:15:52,714 --> 00:15:55,604 And I said, this could be the next thing for you. 244 00:15:55,604 --> 00:15:57,184 This could be the next chapter for you. 245 00:15:57,624 --> 00:15:59,754 And he said, well, I haven't gone to art school. 246 00:15:59,764 --> 00:16:01,424 You know, this all just self taught. 247 00:16:01,424 --> 00:16:03,794 And I'm like, exactly go for it. 248 00:16:04,714 --> 00:16:06,444 That's the people I'm trying to reach. 249 00:16:07,744 --> 00:16:12,494 It's the people that, you know, have been told or have believed 250 00:16:12,574 --> 00:16:15,704 that they could not do something. 251 00:16:15,754 --> 00:16:16,914 And I want to let them know that. 252 00:16:17,339 --> 00:16:18,329 You can do this. 253 00:16:18,369 --> 00:16:22,989 You can create, you can have that joy in your life that, that I have found. 254 00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:27,299 And you know, I want to take the mystery out of it for you because, you know, a lot 255 00:16:27,299 --> 00:16:30,639 of times we're not taught this in school, you know, we're taught about these great 256 00:16:30,659 --> 00:16:37,319 artists and not how they got there or, you know, the struggles that they have, you 257 00:16:37,319 --> 00:16:39,299 know, usually we just see the end product. 258 00:16:40,319 --> 00:16:43,799 And I want people to know that, you know, you can do this now. 259 00:16:45,224 --> 00:16:49,014 So that's, that's the main pain points that I'm trying to 260 00:16:49,014 --> 00:16:51,344 solve with create our podcast. 261 00:16:52,544 --> 00:16:56,954 So let's flip over to find a podcast about now being a podcaster. 262 00:16:56,954 --> 00:17:01,664 I have a unique perspective on this because while I do this stuff 263 00:17:02,164 --> 00:17:05,184 this is turned into my art per se. 264 00:17:06,484 --> 00:17:12,264 So we find a podcast about finding a podcast to listen to that you're 265 00:17:12,264 --> 00:17:17,664 going to enjoy can be difficult using search engines like Google or Apple 266 00:17:17,674 --> 00:17:22,584 podcasts, and they're getting better, but they're not quite there yet. 267 00:17:23,219 --> 00:17:26,769 And I noticed when I first started listening to podcasts way back in 268 00:17:26,769 --> 00:17:31,919 2006, there weren't that many podcasts that were out there and it was kind of 269 00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:33,649 hit or miss what you're going to get. 270 00:17:34,229 --> 00:17:38,939 Luckily I ran into a few good podcasts, but it was, you know, it was a chore to 271 00:17:39,199 --> 00:17:40,909 find these podcasts that are out there. 272 00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:44,709 And even today here in 2024, it can kind of be a chore 273 00:17:44,709 --> 00:17:46,119 and disheartening for people. 274 00:17:46,679 --> 00:17:52,089 So I thought, well, You know, I, I listened to podcasts about podcasts, like 275 00:17:52,169 --> 00:17:58,999 as the podcast coach the school podcasting and podcast junkies and the audacity 276 00:17:58,999 --> 00:18:01,409 to podcast, listen to all of those. 277 00:18:02,029 --> 00:18:06,589 And even podcast rodeo, you know, I appeared on that show a 278 00:18:06,589 --> 00:18:08,479 couple of times with my shows. 279 00:18:09,499 --> 00:18:17,279 And what I wanted to do was be the voice that says, Hey, this podcast 280 00:18:17,299 --> 00:18:19,469 is good, and this is why it's good. 281 00:18:20,069 --> 00:18:21,439 Now, again, in my day job. 282 00:18:22,449 --> 00:18:26,069 People are always asking me, Hey, is there a podcast on resilience? 283 00:18:26,069 --> 00:18:28,869 Is there a podcast on, you know, healthier habits? 284 00:18:29,509 --> 00:18:31,339 Is there a podcast on suicide prevention? 285 00:18:32,239 --> 00:18:34,909 And I was noticing people always, you know, coming to me about that 286 00:18:34,909 --> 00:18:38,519 cause I was the podcast guy and I thought, well, you know, I have. 287 00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:40,024 Some skin in the game here. 288 00:18:40,034 --> 00:18:41,794 I, I have some expertise. 289 00:18:42,214 --> 00:18:46,944 So why don't I just start a podcast called find a podcast about really simple title. 290 00:18:46,944 --> 00:18:48,304 You know what the show is about. 291 00:18:48,424 --> 00:18:51,854 We're finding podcasts about whatever it is you want to find a podcast about. 292 00:18:52,814 --> 00:18:57,694 And I, I broke it up into three sections and it was, it's only, 293 00:18:57,764 --> 00:19:01,084 you know, I am only reviewing podcasts that I myself listened to. 294 00:19:02,014 --> 00:19:06,254 And I really believe that when you get a recommendation from somebody, 295 00:19:06,254 --> 00:19:10,104 and it's been proven by many studies that, you know, the best 296 00:19:10,194 --> 00:19:14,344 recommendation is from somebody you know. 297 00:19:14,684 --> 00:19:18,144 So I wanted to create an area where people would know me, would know 298 00:19:18,144 --> 00:19:24,604 my likes and dislikes and you know, wouldn't be introduced to podcasts that. 299 00:19:25,084 --> 00:19:28,084 I think is worth their time and why it's worth their time. 300 00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:29,134 What the podcast is about. 301 00:19:29,144 --> 00:19:30,764 Even listen to the little snippets of it. 302 00:19:31,744 --> 00:19:37,334 So that is the intention behind find a podcast about that's those are the 303 00:19:37,334 --> 00:19:39,974 problems that I'm trying to solve. 304 00:19:41,074 --> 00:19:45,644 Now you may be saying to yourself, Hey, Tim, you know, you're 350 305 00:19:45,644 --> 00:19:47,994 episodes into create our podcast. 306 00:19:47,994 --> 00:19:51,534 You're 26 episodes into find a podcast about. 307 00:19:52,104 --> 00:19:54,754 Aren't you, you know, aren't, aren't your intentions pretty 308 00:19:54,754 --> 00:19:56,184 clear on what you're trying to do? 309 00:19:56,784 --> 00:19:58,704 And yes and no, yes and no. 310 00:19:58,704 --> 00:20:03,034 I think they're pretty clear, but I just wanted to make it with this episode. 311 00:20:03,034 --> 00:20:04,364 I wanted to make it crystal clear. 312 00:20:04,364 --> 00:20:05,624 What am I going for? 313 00:20:05,654 --> 00:20:09,024 You know, what problems am I trying to solve or try to help you with? 314 00:20:09,634 --> 00:20:14,264 But something that came out of this conference that is kind of a basic thing. 315 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:19,489 That podcaster should know, or should do is how can I be of service to you? 316 00:20:20,509 --> 00:20:22,589 So I broke that down into four things. 317 00:20:23,109 --> 00:20:24,469 One is consistency. 318 00:20:24,979 --> 00:20:26,159 I have changed. 319 00:20:26,209 --> 00:20:30,679 The amount of times that I put out an episode multiple times throughout 320 00:20:30,739 --> 00:20:35,279 both shows usually with create our podcast, I try to do something every 321 00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:39,589 two weeks and with find a podcast about, I'd try to do it once a month. 322 00:20:39,939 --> 00:20:40,819 Sometimes I'm good with it. 323 00:20:40,819 --> 00:20:45,539 Sometimes I'm not, but the big thing is I want to improve my consistency. 324 00:20:45,619 --> 00:20:49,709 So what can I do that to, to get that consistency? 325 00:20:50,579 --> 00:20:55,779 I think just, you know I used to use a lot of project management software and 326 00:20:56,059 --> 00:21:00,759 I got away from it for whatever reason, but I think now I'm going to get back 327 00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:05,849 into it and that way I can plan things out and you know, another problem 328 00:21:05,849 --> 00:21:11,599 with consistency is I do have multiple sclerosis and that can really impact 329 00:21:11,779 --> 00:21:14,209 my and it can impact my energy levels. 330 00:21:14,709 --> 00:21:18,879 So if I can use those project management tools that I already know 331 00:21:18,969 --> 00:21:24,099 and that I've used in the past, then I think my consistency will improve. 332 00:21:24,104 --> 00:21:28,619 And also, you know, getting the ms a little bit more under control with 333 00:21:28,624 --> 00:21:30,664 health and diet and moving around more. 334 00:21:31,024 --> 00:21:33,154 I think that can help me out tremendously as well. 335 00:21:33,154 --> 00:21:34,879 So that's, you know, something I'm going to do. 336 00:21:35,524 --> 00:21:38,334 Another topic that was brought up many times during the conference was 337 00:21:38,334 --> 00:21:43,054 being genuine, not just necessarily being authentic, but being genuine. 338 00:21:43,584 --> 00:21:44,194 This is me. 339 00:21:44,234 --> 00:21:45,504 This is what I love to do. 340 00:21:46,174 --> 00:21:48,094 You know, love it or hate it. 341 00:21:48,124 --> 00:21:48,844 This is me. 342 00:21:48,934 --> 00:21:50,924 You're getting a hundred percent Tim right here. 343 00:21:51,824 --> 00:21:52,364 So. 344 00:21:53,179 --> 00:21:58,149 I want to find, you know, figure out how can I come across that way? 345 00:21:58,739 --> 00:22:01,279 And that's done through the editing process. 346 00:22:01,689 --> 00:22:05,249 That's done with, you know, planning the episodes a little bit 347 00:22:05,249 --> 00:22:06,919 better than I have in the past. 348 00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:12,719 And really, you know, reminding myself of what's my intention and going 349 00:22:12,719 --> 00:22:14,539 back to that each and every episode. 350 00:22:15,269 --> 00:22:17,509 So that is what I definitely want to do. 351 00:22:18,719 --> 00:22:24,169 Another thing that will also improve me being genuine is practicing what I preach. 352 00:22:24,989 --> 00:22:26,699 So yes, I'm an artist. 353 00:22:26,739 --> 00:22:35,289 I do poetry, I do art, I do painting I do music and I, especially this 354 00:22:35,289 --> 00:22:41,419 year, I really wanted to get back into making more art, so you're, 355 00:22:41,509 --> 00:22:43,559 you'll see episodes in the future. 356 00:22:43,889 --> 00:22:47,639 For Create Art podcast about me creating art. 357 00:22:48,269 --> 00:22:51,629 You know, if I'm asking you to create art and, you know, to create more than you 358 00:22:51,629 --> 00:22:56,999 consume, then I need to be doing it as well because I know the benefits art has 359 00:22:57,049 --> 00:22:59,089 you know, creating Art has had in my life. 360 00:22:59,989 --> 00:23:02,269 So practicing more of what I preach. 361 00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:04,019 Also with the Find a Podcast about. 362 00:23:05,944 --> 00:23:09,804 Listening to more podcasts, exploring different more exploring different 363 00:23:09,814 --> 00:23:12,294 podcasts, that's what I really want to do. 364 00:23:12,434 --> 00:23:15,244 So that's what I'm going to go back to. 365 00:23:15,654 --> 00:23:21,794 You know, and I'm going to go through my catalog cause I have, I'm subscribed 366 00:23:21,794 --> 00:23:26,404 to about 150 different podcasts, but I want to go back through my catalog and 367 00:23:26,404 --> 00:23:29,204 go, okay, which ones am I really binging? 368 00:23:29,214 --> 00:23:33,774 Which ones I really want to listen to and then maybe change my listening 369 00:23:33,774 --> 00:23:39,094 habits to where I am binging you know, one or two podcasts a week. 370 00:23:39,804 --> 00:23:45,034 And seeing if they resonate with me and then you know, giving the host more time 371 00:23:45,034 --> 00:23:50,424 to take a listen to the review that I give them instead of just trying to, you 372 00:23:50,424 --> 00:23:55,354 know, ram it in and get it, you know, get a episode out to you in hopes of that, 373 00:23:55,374 --> 00:23:57,254 you know, I'm being more consistent. 374 00:23:57,264 --> 00:24:00,074 So that's, you know, what I want to do. 375 00:24:02,089 --> 00:24:04,469 And then the last thing is building community. 376 00:24:04,639 --> 00:24:08,319 And that was when we were going through this intention visualization. 377 00:24:09,159 --> 00:24:11,709 That's the thing that really popped out to me as I wanted to build a 378 00:24:11,709 --> 00:24:16,059 community because for me podcasting, I'm putting my voice out in the world. 379 00:24:16,059 --> 00:24:18,189 I'm putting myself out there in the world. 380 00:24:18,529 --> 00:24:22,899 And the reason I'm doing that is I want to find other people that, you 381 00:24:22,899 --> 00:24:26,309 know, are confused about the same things I'm confused about, or, you 382 00:24:26,309 --> 00:24:31,119 know, believe similar things to what I believe or people that are, you 383 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,259 know, out there questioning the world. 384 00:24:33,409 --> 00:24:38,829 So that's why, you know, I, I want to find others that are like that 385 00:24:38,829 --> 00:24:40,829 because I can't be the only one. 386 00:24:41,479 --> 00:24:44,979 And I want those people that are out there to know that they aren't the only one. 387 00:24:45,719 --> 00:24:52,639 So basically building the community and seeing what we can all do to contribute 388 00:24:53,089 --> 00:24:56,659 to creating art and finding good podcasts. 389 00:24:58,009 --> 00:25:03,699 So my next thing is to refocus my inten intentions for cap well, I call it CAP 390 00:25:03,699 --> 00:25:08,079 and fpa, but that stands for Create Art Podcast and find a podcast about is 391 00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:10,359 how I can be of service to my guests. 392 00:25:11,124 --> 00:25:16,414 And I, I have interviews on both podcasts and I want to make sure that their 393 00:25:16,414 --> 00:25:20,974 message is getting out to the audience, you know, that their voice is heard, that 394 00:25:21,104 --> 00:25:24,184 people are exposed to these new ideas. 395 00:25:24,624 --> 00:25:27,884 And so I want to, you know, kind of double down on that and bring 396 00:25:27,904 --> 00:25:29,794 in more guests to the show. 397 00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:32,014 to both shows actually. 398 00:25:32,774 --> 00:25:35,704 And then after I bring a guest on, I want to maintain that 399 00:25:35,704 --> 00:25:37,144 contact and build community. 400 00:25:37,184 --> 00:25:38,394 Now, why do I want to do that? 401 00:25:38,424 --> 00:25:42,554 Well with find a podcast about, I interviewed a guy Kawasaki. 402 00:25:43,304 --> 00:25:47,554 He sent me a copy of his latest book, which I'm finishing right now. 403 00:25:47,964 --> 00:25:50,024 Sent me socks for my kids. 404 00:25:50,424 --> 00:25:52,834 And he sent me some seeds to plant in my yard. 405 00:25:53,464 --> 00:25:55,344 I want to maintain that contact with him. 406 00:25:55,714 --> 00:25:59,394 You know, and for everybody that I have interviewed on the show, I want to 407 00:25:59,394 --> 00:26:02,974 make sure that it's not just a one and done, hit it and quit it kind of thing. 408 00:26:03,304 --> 00:26:07,164 I want to make sure that, you know, I'm, I'm building my network, so 409 00:26:07,164 --> 00:26:12,924 to speak, by maintaining contact with them with create our podcast. 410 00:26:12,964 --> 00:26:18,004 I just got a book from Amy Bernstein, who I interviewed a little while ago. 411 00:26:18,004 --> 00:26:18,814 She's a book coach. 412 00:26:19,134 --> 00:26:21,214 She sent me her brand new book. 413 00:26:21,304 --> 00:26:22,244 Didn't charge me for it. 414 00:26:23,409 --> 00:26:27,069 So she, she grabbed my address and then sent me a copy of her, of her 415 00:26:27,069 --> 00:26:28,889 brand new book that isn't even out yet. 416 00:26:29,419 --> 00:26:30,719 Same thing with Guy Kawasaki. 417 00:26:30,719 --> 00:26:32,429 He sent me a book that isn't even out yet. 418 00:26:33,059 --> 00:26:35,089 So and I'll be reading it. 419 00:26:35,219 --> 00:26:38,669 I'll be reading Amy's book as soon as I'm done with guys, which I've got. 420 00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:41,379 Well, today is the 3rd of July. 421 00:26:41,379 --> 00:26:43,899 So I've got about five more pages to go on guy's book. 422 00:26:43,899 --> 00:26:45,319 And I read slow. 423 00:26:45,499 --> 00:26:46,319 I'll admit it to you. 424 00:26:46,369 --> 00:26:47,229 I read slow. 425 00:26:47,329 --> 00:26:52,589 So I'll be reading her book and then providing a review for it in Goodreads. 426 00:26:53,199 --> 00:26:56,349 And you know, I want to maintain these contacts that I've had. 427 00:26:56,959 --> 00:27:02,489 And just recently at this podcast conference, I met somebody who was 428 00:27:02,699 --> 00:27:07,949 really interested in you know tarot and spirituality and, and all that 429 00:27:07,949 --> 00:27:14,009 stuff I had just interviewed a person Kirsten Rudgrin about that, about 430 00:27:14,009 --> 00:27:15,509 putting the spirit back in your art. 431 00:27:15,989 --> 00:27:22,569 So I connected those two together and you know, it's just, that's how you 432 00:27:22,569 --> 00:27:27,979 build a community is that, you know, I'll find somebody and I'll keep it in 433 00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:30,169 the Rolodex in my brain and I'll do it. 434 00:27:31,199 --> 00:27:34,669 I'll try to connect them with somebody that has similar interests that way 435 00:27:34,689 --> 00:27:36,049 that they know they're not alone. 436 00:27:36,059 --> 00:27:39,069 So basically that's what I want to be is I want to be that conduit 437 00:27:39,099 --> 00:27:42,949 that, that, that person, that contact, that connects people. 438 00:27:43,439 --> 00:27:46,269 One of my favorite TV shows was mash. 439 00:27:47,249 --> 00:27:49,389 My favorite character on there was radar. 440 00:27:50,190 --> 00:27:54,660 Because that hospital could not run without radar couldn't run as well 441 00:27:54,660 --> 00:27:57,200 as it did, but what was radar secret? 442 00:27:57,370 --> 00:27:58,610 He had all the connections. 443 00:27:58,750 --> 00:28:00,130 He knew the people to talk to. 444 00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:01,740 And that's what I want to be. 445 00:28:01,970 --> 00:28:04,800 You know, I want to be the person that you go to. 446 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,250 If you need to find a new podcast, you're going on a road trip and you want to, 447 00:28:08,250 --> 00:28:12,900 you know, binge a podcast while you're on that road trip or, you know, you want 448 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:18,170 to find a new artist to be inspired by, or you want to find a new art art form. 449 00:28:18,650 --> 00:28:19,900 To try out for yourself. 450 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,220 I want to be that person that can connect you with that. 451 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,760 And that's how we build community. 452 00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:32,190 And that's how I can be of service to my guests, because I'm of service to you. 453 00:28:33,570 --> 00:28:38,110 And I appreciate you for listening, but I also want to be of service to the guests. 454 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,610 That way they're not wasting their time with me. 455 00:28:40,730 --> 00:28:44,710 And you know, it, it, again, it's not just a hit it and quit it kind of thing. 456 00:28:44,730 --> 00:28:49,630 It's one of those things where we actually build a relationship. 457 00:28:49,630 --> 00:28:49,649 Yeah. 458 00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:53,750 And I'm finding it you know, the ripe old age of 51 here as I record this, 459 00:28:54,410 --> 00:28:59,600 that it's, it's hard to make friends when you're this old and it gets harder. 460 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,830 And I was talking to my wife about this actually a little while ago 461 00:29:02,830 --> 00:29:07,110 about, you know, it's tough for me here in Fredericksburg because I 462 00:29:07,110 --> 00:29:11,350 don't get out that much because, you know, I'm being a dad, I'm working. 463 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,850 And when I was commuting an hour and a half each way every day, it 464 00:29:16,850 --> 00:29:20,910 was almost impossible for me to, you know, make friends and, and to be out. 465 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:28,580 So it helps me to podcasting helps me to reach out to the world that I may 466 00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:34,570 not physically be in, but that I can be with in spirit and in communion 467 00:29:34,570 --> 00:29:39,200 with that's out there for you and for the guests that come on the show. 468 00:29:40,135 --> 00:29:43,985 So that's something that I'm going to be working on and I, hopefully you're going 469 00:29:43,985 --> 00:29:47,825 to notice it as I'm working on it and hopefully, you know, it, it isn't that 470 00:29:47,825 --> 00:29:52,395 obvious, but I'm hoping that it's obvious enough that I'm going to try to do that. 471 00:29:53,685 --> 00:29:54,215 All right. 472 00:29:54,225 --> 00:29:57,945 So at my third major point here that I want to talk to you about, 473 00:29:58,285 --> 00:29:59,455 and this is going to be about me. 474 00:29:59,655 --> 00:30:03,645 So it's going to be a lot of stuff that I'm going to do and what I'm going to do. 475 00:30:04,575 --> 00:30:09,835 So my overall goal is to start up a network. 476 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,170 For the federal government for their podcasts, that's what I want to do when 477 00:30:14,170 --> 00:30:18,250 I grow up And if you would ask me this 10 years ago, I would have been like, 478 00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:23,900 yeah No, you're you're smoking really bad dope But that's what I want to do in 479 00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:28,460 my quote unquote retirement is I want to you know Set this up so that way people 480 00:30:28,460 --> 00:30:33,955 can get information about the United States federal government And you know, 481 00:30:34,275 --> 00:30:37,965 they can get it straight from the source instead of, you know, just hearing it on 482 00:30:37,965 --> 00:30:42,515 the news or reading in the paper or, you know, reading some online blog, they can 483 00:30:42,515 --> 00:30:46,475 get it straight from the source and they can know what their government is doing. 484 00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:48,155 Why are we paying these taxes? 485 00:30:48,155 --> 00:30:50,145 Why, why are we voting these people in? 486 00:30:50,655 --> 00:30:54,515 What are we doing with the money and the trust that you're, you're 487 00:30:54,515 --> 00:30:58,795 putting into us now, how am I going to set up that network? 488 00:30:59,405 --> 00:31:03,685 Well, the first thing I do plan on doing is joining a group called air AIR. 489 00:31:03,685 --> 00:31:07,765 And that's the association of independence in radio. 490 00:31:08,535 --> 00:31:11,985 They have a, I know it says radio, but they have a lot of podcasters there. 491 00:31:11,995 --> 00:31:17,804 I've met them at many podcast conferences and I, I want to join 492 00:31:17,804 --> 00:31:20,984 up with them so that way I can learn more about how to run a you know, 493 00:31:20,984 --> 00:31:22,844 an independent consulting business. 494 00:31:23,584 --> 00:31:27,214 And so that way I can build that network because I can't be everywhere 495 00:31:27,214 --> 00:31:30,104 all at once, although I'd like to be, can't be everywhere all at once. 496 00:31:30,114 --> 00:31:31,204 So that's one thing I'm going to do. 497 00:31:32,044 --> 00:31:36,014 Next thing is joining the national Association of Government communicators. 498 00:31:36,494 --> 00:31:40,584 And that's for, you know that's for I guess anybody, but it's mainly 499 00:31:40,584 --> 00:31:43,824 staffed of federal employees that are in the communications business 500 00:31:44,704 --> 00:31:47,584 and they share ideas and and whatnot. 501 00:31:47,644 --> 00:31:51,429 And I can build my network through them. 502 00:31:51,579 --> 00:31:56,589 And back to the conference, one of the talks was about how to 503 00:31:56,709 --> 00:31:58,719 submit your show for awards. 504 00:31:59,284 --> 00:32:04,714 Well, the NAGC National Association of government communicators has an awards 505 00:32:04,714 --> 00:32:11,694 program and, you know, in the last couple of years, they've had like 250 submissions 506 00:32:12,084 --> 00:32:15,884 for different types of media products. 507 00:32:16,524 --> 00:32:18,444 And I saw that they had three. 508 00:32:22,314 --> 00:32:26,314 And I saw that they had three awards for podcasts or they had 509 00:32:26,384 --> 00:32:28,124 three awardees for podcasts. 510 00:32:28,814 --> 00:32:32,844 Well, that tells me that, you know, I can make an award, you 511 00:32:32,844 --> 00:32:34,214 know, I can do an award that way. 512 00:32:34,214 --> 00:32:39,614 So I'm going to be joining that organization and again, learning better 513 00:32:39,614 --> 00:32:44,594 ways of communication and you know, putting myself up for an award, why not? 514 00:32:44,614 --> 00:32:46,224 Cause I'm trying to do great work. 515 00:32:47,504 --> 00:32:52,764 Now, the last part of this is what I'm going to do for my personal self and it's 516 00:32:52,814 --> 00:32:56,704 a continual self improvement improvement kind of thing with the physical aspect, 517 00:32:56,744 --> 00:33:00,684 you know, getting out to the gym, hitting the pool more watching what I 518 00:33:00,684 --> 00:33:06,344 eat, exercising more mental continue to see my counselor every every couple of 519 00:33:06,354 --> 00:33:12,044 months and you know, find ways to make sure that my mental faculties are really 520 00:33:12,044 --> 00:33:16,864 sharp, spiritual, not too sure what I'm going to do with that, but I think, 521 00:33:16,894 --> 00:33:19,054 you know, I'm a big Tao Te Ching fan. 522 00:33:19,434 --> 00:33:23,714 So maybe reread through the Tao Te Ching and just get more in 523 00:33:23,714 --> 00:33:25,094 touch with my spiritual side. 524 00:33:25,684 --> 00:33:29,134 My artistic side, keep on creating and find new ways to create. 525 00:33:29,494 --> 00:33:33,424 And keep on pushing myself in those boundaries and educating myself on 526 00:33:33,424 --> 00:33:36,694 different forms of artistic expression. 527 00:33:37,604 --> 00:33:39,144 And then last thing is my career. 528 00:33:39,144 --> 00:33:43,574 You know, maybe I'll join up with Toastmasters or continue I'm 529 00:33:43,574 --> 00:33:47,944 definitely going to continue doing these conferences to do the networking 530 00:33:47,944 --> 00:33:51,584 that needs to be done and to do the learning that needs to be done. 531 00:33:51,644 --> 00:33:54,964 The reason I bring up Toastmasters is because they're all about public speaking. 532 00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:57,999 So can I learn to speak better in public? 533 00:33:58,129 --> 00:33:59,109 I think I can. 534 00:33:59,479 --> 00:34:01,629 I think you would probably agree with me on that. 535 00:34:01,639 --> 00:34:06,909 So that's what I'm going to be doing for myself for my continual self improvement. 536 00:34:08,509 --> 00:34:08,949 All right. 537 00:34:08,949 --> 00:34:11,889 Well, I want to thank you so much for listening to me here. 538 00:34:12,329 --> 00:34:13,929 Not really a ramble but. 539 00:34:14,155 --> 00:34:20,055 More of one of the things that I wanted to do was to just not write everything 540 00:34:20,055 --> 00:34:24,475 out in a script, but to, you know, have it in more of an outline form. 541 00:34:24,475 --> 00:34:27,765 And that's, you know, to let you know how the sausage was made for this episode. 542 00:34:28,005 --> 00:34:29,865 That's how the sausage was made in this episode. 543 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,080 You know, I, I made a outline of three major things and then, you know, 544 00:34:35,090 --> 00:34:37,060 subcategories and all that kind of jazz. 545 00:34:37,570 --> 00:34:41,110 And I just went with it from point A to point B to point C to point D. 546 00:34:41,910 --> 00:34:43,530 So that's what I wanted to do here. 547 00:34:43,530 --> 00:34:45,010 And I think I accomplished that. 548 00:34:45,020 --> 00:34:48,760 And I want to thank you for coming along on this journey with me, both on find 549 00:34:48,760 -->
