June 10, 2023


In this episode Ethan reveals he bought his first piece of content creation gear: a Mavic 3 Pro drone! He explains what project made this unusual choice the only right way to start for him. He discusses all the courses he signed up for to learn how to create content, how to tell a good course from a bad one before buying, and the power of quality speaking skills.


Ryan teaches Ethan some of the writing skills he picked up in a whiskey school, tells us about the origin story of Japanese whiskey, and makes a bottle of pickle flavored Blantons… for reasons that become obvious the more you get to know Ryan.


Together they learn how to structure a podcast, figuring out how long an episode should be to hold attention, how many topics need to be planned to fill an hour, and how to separate topics relevant to the audience from detours into general socializing.
