Quotes
2:54 - “I did a couple of solo ones and it was a struggle, I’m then wondering am I keeping people engaged or am I even sounding engaging, am I repeating myself and things like that.”
5:19 - “I have a daughter and I want to show her, that’s what keeps me going is to show her that hey this is possible you can do it you don’t need any particular skill set you can teach yourself, of course, you’ve got to invest in yourself and buy the equipment as needed and this mainly just to show her hey you can do this too if you wish.”
10:58 - “Why not do it myself? Keep everything in house, therefore keep money in my pocket and then that money can go to whatever else I want it to go to. So yea I do everything, video editing, production, posting, publishing so sometimes it’s difficult.”
11:24 - “As the podcast episodes going even though I’m trying to engage in conversation I’m also trying to find certain sound bites and then I try to take note of the timeframe that sound bite took place in so now I can go straight to it without having to watch the whole episode over again. Like if something’s going on during an episode I try to keep in mind or make a note that this happened at this time or around this time so I can just go to it so that cuts down the time of editing a great deal.”
16:05 - “Do it for the right reasons, you’ve got to have a passion for it. If you’re doing it because you’re just trying to become famous or anything like that that’s where I feel you can go wrong. Do it for the right reasons, have a passion for it make sure you still continue to have the motivation and passion for it and that alone will make you successful.”
