Welcome to the first ever special BONUS edition of the Make it Snappy Productivity Show! Make it Snappy is the podcast that combines productivity with purpose, for entrepreneurial Moms and Dads and ANYONE who wants their time back, in an era where overwhelm is normal, and overtime is expected. If enjoyed last week's episode with my high-performance business coach, Greg Faxon, you're in luck! Greg, along with my good friend, Clem Harrod, Sports Videographer AND Projectionist from Episode 5 (the very first voice you hear when you play each one of my shows, you know, the guy who says, "so tell me Nick") and almost 40 viewers joined me on an exciting social media platform this past week, called BLAB. We stripped and edited the audio best we could and turned it into this BONUS podcast! It's definitely not perfect, and I apologize in advance for the audio quality not being all that great, BUT we do our best to deal with the technology we have available, right? For about six weeks now I've been experimenting with BLAB and I've been REALLY impressed with how everything's laid out, I've also enjoyed the high engagement of the Blab community….overall, it's been a blast. It's been a BLAB! So what is BLAB you ask? So glad you did! If you're familiar with Google Hangouts, BLAB is a similar platform but like Twitter and Periscope, it's PUBLIC and in my opinion, WAY better than Hangouts. Here's the deal: One person hosts a Blab, and four other people can join in on the conversation by CALLING IN. You can call-in either online, or with the blab smartphone app. If you choose to call-in, viewers will hear you AND see you if you give Blab permission to access your web or phone camera. If you don't want people to see your face, you have the option to grant "audio-ONLY" access. If the host accepts your call, your video and/or audio stream will pop up in one of the four empty boxes on the screen. When you start a blab, you give it a title, and hopefully, the topic is interesting enough that at least four people want to call-in and blab with the host. I typically invite people to blab with me before I start, but it's always fun to leave at least one spot open and ROLL the DICE in anticipation of who may call in! If you're NOT one of the four on screen, you can still communicate with the group "live" in the chat, just like you do with Periscope, if you're familiar with it. Anyone can view the blab without commenting or calling in. BUT... If you choose to join a blab and comment, All four people on screen (and everyone who's viewing) will see your comment. To get on BLAB, go to http://blab.im and create a profile using your Twitter account. You can then browse who's live or search for a topic that people are blabbing about If it's Wednesday night at 9PM EST, you can BLAB with me every week! You can follow me and check out my Blab pageat https://blab.im/thesnappyshow, the same as my Twitter handle. In fact, any comments or likes, etc., can be Tweeted automatically through Blab. Sit back, blab, and relax! The Blab you're about to hear with Greg Faxon and the rest of us focuses in on high-performance and entrepreneurial effectiveness. So without further ado, I present to you this first ever bonus episode: The Make it Snappy Productivity BLAB Please visit MakeitSnappyShow.com for blog articles, videos, and all kinds of productivity goodness for your viewing pleasure.
