  • 10 Tips for New Podcasters and Youtubers in 2018
    These are the top 10 things I have learned in 2018 about podcasting and Youtube creative content creation. Growing your channel or podcast is more about what you do after you post than what you post. I'll tell you what I know. These 10 tips will apply to any creative content you are creating and the way you grow your channel, show or blog.

    1. Be consistent about posting
    2. Learn to press the delete button
    3. Stop comparing yourself to others
    4. Study movies, shows, and videos you enjoy
    5. Don’t forget to do SEO on your videos
    6. Don’t worry about having the fanciest camera or microphone out there
    7. Don’t neglect audio
    8. Use simple editing software
    9. Be social, share, and collaborate
    10.Try not to let negative comments affect you too much

    Just remember that every channel and podcast out there started in the very same place as you: no subscribers, no views, no audience. Yes, even the channels who have over 1 million subscribers, were right where we are today.

    Support each other and keep on working at it. When I learn more I’ll share it right here so be sure to subscribe. I’d love to hear from you guys, about your experiences and what you have learned so far. Comments are always welcome. Go out and do something great today. Cheers everybody.

  • How to FIND LOVE
    Today I’m talking about how to find love, friendship, companionship, you know that relationship, that no matter what happens, it feels like it’s going to be OK.||| Humans need three things to survive, in this order. Water, Shelter, and Food. After that the first thing they look for is companionship. Those first three are dependent on many outside, physical and environmental variables. The this fourth one, companionship/relationship, can oftentimes be the most elusive and difficult thing to find and maintain, but fortunately, it is something we all have a great deal of control over. Who you are, and how you treat yourself will determine more about your current and future relationships than anything else. Most of what it takes to find true love is done before you ever meet “that special person.” Here are eight things you must master before you’ll find true love in your life:

  • How to Have a GREAT DAY
    Today I’m talking about how to make the most of everyday, even Mondays. Here are some simple ways to have a great day.

    You are not “inferior” to any other person on this planet. If there is person you feel inferior to? Get it out of your head. They are not luckier than you. Their brain is not smarter than yours. They are not blessed with a human skill set that you can’t develop. Successful people did not get where they are by sheer luck? The difference between winners and losers is simple. Winners keep moving forward no matter what obstacles they face while losers give up at the first real challenge they come up against, they then sit around and complain the game it rigged. You don’t lose until you quit...and quitting is up to you.

    Slow down and soak it up. The world will not end if you have to stand in line at the grocery store. Driving like a dumbass to save two minutes makes you and dumbass. Pulling on your dogs leash and asking them to hurry up, is insane, since that dog spends most of its life waiting for you to do something with it. Exercise patience and I think you will be surprised at the world you see around you. Take some time to give yourself a much-needed break from the constant hustle of your daily grind. Take a deep breathe, turn off your inner-static, and take a moment to simply be. Meditation is a fantastic habit to get into. I’m going to talk more about that in another podcast.

    View yourself through the eyes of another. Any time there is tension between you and another person, take a moment to look at the issue from their perspective. This simple action will offer a fresh perspective that will help you avoid pointless arguments over nothing.

    Be grateful for what is right in front of you. When is the last time you expressed gratitude for all that you have. And the opportunities you have before you. It is easy to take things for granted when we don’t pay attention. I’m happy and grateful that every day is another opportunity to do it again. And I remind myself that I have Water, shelter, food and companionship. The next time you are feeling down, grab a notebook or pull up a Word Document and make a list of the many things that you are grateful for. You might not realize it right this second, but I bet you have a lot of great things going on in your life.
    Stay true to your authentic self.Your daily life is not a theatrical performance, so stop treating it like one. Don’t become a character that you think fits in to your current surroundings. Life is not a charade? People are amazing when they are genuine. Share your unique thoughts, ideas, quirks, and personality traits with the world and without any shame.

    No one cares how much “stuff” you have. No one is impressed by your bank account, wardrobe, or elegant choice of home decor. Sure, you might get some “oohs” and “ahhs” the instant you show off your stuff, but do you think these people are so impressed that they think any better of you for it? Live with truth and integrity. Show the world you care through your words, actions, and behaviors. The size of your bank account and the style of your outfit impress no one. You know what is impressive? It is someone of beautiful and strong character.

    Don’t merely expect more from life. Demand it. While you are complaining about how unfair your situation is, other people are hustling hard in the direction they desire. Wishing with all of your might will do nothing to improve your life if you’re not willing to back up your words with action.

    The things that are most challenging are often the things that prove to be most rewarding. Just because something is difficult doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing. Raising a child is harder than any job I know, but it also comes with an incredible amount of satisfaction. Seeing a baby grow up to become a passionate and productive adult is amazing. Any ambitious goal that requires a lot of time or...

  • Original Palmer Fest, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio | Palmerfest 1989
    Every year the university would throw a music festival on the intramural fields down by the river. It was called springfest. And it was fun. Beer trucks outnumbered food trucks, and it was rivaled only by Halloween weekend during the late 80’s. The three weekends prior, each green would have a weekend with bands, beer and food trucks out on the main commons area of that green. East was first, West was Second and South went last. The money would then help pay for the sound staging and entertainment that went into putting on Springfest It was usually the last big hurrah before we finished up Spring quarter, our finals were typically in early June.

    So in 1988, The university removed alcohol from campus events because the majority of the students were below the newly adopted drinking age of of 21. This meant that the Spring fest of 1989 had not chance of surviving this setback. They tried, The Hooters were the main act and it was as expected, sparsely attended and the writing was on the wall for Springfest.

    The vibe amongst the student body was to say fuck-it let’s do it anyway and big house parties were getting planned to fill in the blank. And all of us in the Athens music community we were in the know because a lot of these parties needed bands and sound systems. So The police got wind of the organizing that was going on and made a public notice that all big parties would be heavily scrutinized and most likely shutdown that weekend, especially those a bands because they tended to be the more difficult to manage as far as numbers and noise..

    My house was 4 Palmer and the girls next door lived in 6 and 6.5. We decided to throw a party. So I spent several weeks and weekends prior to fest day, collecting whatever building materials I could “find”, built a stage behind the house at 6 Palmer Street. And We all pooled our money and purchased 16 kegs, got a band and spread the news.

    So what happened that night of the party was the cops got so busy dealing with parties on the west side of town cause the bulk of them were on the west side of town, that they left us alone way out on Palmer, at that time Palmer was considered out there. It was on the fringe so we were the last of the worries for the police force thay had that night. So the party started growing and blowing up...exponential... It blew up like one of those midwestern thunderstorms timelapses you see on the weather channel.

    People are rolling in, sun goes down, stage lights come up, band goes on, and it’s on.

    16 kegs man, we had 16 kegs. That was a big party for OU...and all of them were blowing foam at 9:30 PM. that’s how many people were there. and I thought, we are fucked, but the people rallied, like Bobcats do and we emptied the drive thru at the end of the road...as the other parties were shut down they rolled down hill to Palmer and it quickly felt too big....I knew I might have a problem when my dog showed up wearing a glow necklace and I asked my girlfriend at the time where’d this come from and she said there are some guys selling them. A couple dudes showed up with extra things they brought to bootleg at the official Springfest, they obviously didn’t do all that well and they found our party, set-up shop and sold out..

    So the cops showed up around 10:00 and took me off to the side and said they were reluctant to pull the plug with that many people and we needed to turn it down and contain. Everything had to be behind the sidewalk. Actually they didn’t have the manpower yet in the area, to deal with it if it was to shut down and turn ugly. So they gave me time to wind it up and said they would be back to arrest people at 11:00.

    I told the band to jump to the back half of their third set. Because we need to finish this up. They crushed it and it wrapped. No one got arrested.

  • Time Management Is Garbage | Episode #004
    So I have a friend that introduced me to a term that is often misconstrued by the masses. The term is Life Dodger. It’s meant to imply that someone is dodging the normal responsibilities of life when in fact I like to think of it a someone who is managing their own relevant time as they choose. And by relevant time I mean real time vs. clock time. You only get so many trips around the sun. Use them as you see fit
