What is leader ethics Wisconsin. Thanks for the opportunity to chat about this Bob leader ethics Wisconsin is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization is committed to promoting ethical leadership among elected officials. We believe that there are four principles that define ethical leaders truthful the transparent with public information. Their unifier's rather than dividers in the work to the best of their ability to represent their entire constituency, and as such we don't believe ethical leadership is tied to any particular political party, or even to any particular legislative policy because an ethical leader can approach those things. Following those principles and have options and how they can demonstrate it so leader ethics Wisconsin is there to bring about increased awareness and the need for this in our elected leaders then tell me who is Lee Rasch well you know I I lived in the Chicago area for a number years and prior to coming to La Crosse I worked at a large community college in the suburbs. It was a good college in many ways, but it was not founded on what I would call ethical principles, they lacked integrity, and in some of their hiring practices and marketing practices, and it was really the catalyst for me coming up to La Crosse and in 1989 and I assume the role of president that Western technical College and what I realized is that many of the practices that I brought with me to Western practices that I learned in suburban Chicago and so I actually spent several years trying to unlearn things that I had been doing in the past and learn things in a new way that I felt was better reflecting what the college needed and what I needed to demonstrate and solve those are things that I worked on over the years in an effort to be more character-based and a servant leader and practice Lee. What's the difference between leadership and servant leadership and ethical leadership. I think the terms are somewhat interchangeable in my view, those four principles are critical for not just Anna in the political world really the kinds of things that ethical leaders servant leaders follow and practice in business, education, healthcare services and so those are the things were trying to promote as expectations for elected leaders think that this way, if you are buying service or or product from a local company do you expect that the company will operate the ethical leadership if you're school that where you can still has an administrative you expect that person to be an ethical leader. People don't always deliver to the level that you hope. But there's an effort and an expectation that they would. So the question we would ask, why don't we carry those same expectations in the political arena and those of the things were trying to talk about in the direct Scott commit example of one of the member eventually well. Each chapter holds a member of an quarterly. I think one good example would be right brewed a vice president at their own power Cooperative, who was also a former leader, president of the state Senate in Wisconsin. His topic was countering political tribalism and that's an important topic today because the more we become partners in our beliefs than the farther we are away from being able to unify our efforts and to represent our entire constituency, so is a really good presentation. There was a lot of good interaction and we was good to hear from someone who's who's been there. What your goal for leader ethics was constantly in all, the goal is more than anything else. It is getting citizen involvement in raising expectations that are ethical leaders are elected leaders can be ethical leaders and you know we we provide a a citizens guide for 2020 is something that we shared with our members because we want them to realize there are big things and small things they can do in the state of North Dakota, for example, the state is dominated by one political party, and the fact they are ranked very low nationally in terms of transparency, a group of citizens they call themselves the bad ass grandmas. They took upon themselves to start a process to pass a new constitutional amendment that would improve transparency and implement an ethics commission. They were outspent more than 10 to 1 in that effort. This was in 2018 yet the legislation passed and it shows that when citizens take it upon themselves to the right thing they can produce really good results. So we want to share those stories with our members. How is a pandemic, telling of who is ethical and who is not ethical in the political arena will you know the pandemic is really calling out the importance of ethical leadership. We think of it this way when we need at a time when we are facing a threat, nonpartisan threat. It's a threat that's affecting potentially all of us so we need to look at those four principles we need ethical leaders at the federal and state and local level who were truthful giving us straight information. We need leaders who are transparent with public information and this is particularly difficult because in a pandemic like this. The conditions may be rapidly changing and so it's difficult to present something as accurate information. Knowing that it might evolve and change in a short period of time, but ethical leaders can be straightforward and how they present things and do the best they can. Transparency it's really important that we are unifying at this time, we should not be trying to divide our perspectives in the political and partisan views. We really need to represent the needs of the entire country or state in this effort. In a course that means representing our entire constituency in the process of not taking sides or singling out groups for favorable treatment or blaming. So at this time and that in a pandemic we really need ethical leaders to shine. So why would somebody want to become a member of leader ethics Wisconsin. But first of all, membership allows you to be a part of the effort and it's a simple process if you go to our website, leader, ethics WI.org on the homepage. There is a button since joining the press that button and you can follow the steps and you can become a member. It's a very affordable effort $25 a year. In fact, if you are age 23 or younger. It's $10 here. Your goal is to be as accessible for auspice not just those that have money, but by becoming a member, you get a monthly newsletter called the ethics report where we give examples of good ethical leadership in practice and examples that are not so good. We invite you to those quarterly chapter events. We also give every chapter an opportunity to hold a candidate development workshop and such. Try to develop the next generation of ethical leaders starting with local school boards, city Council. So those are things that happen if you become a member of leader ethics Wisconsin gives you a chance to be a part of that process. Why is $25 to join and we had a lot of discussion on this and I was a conscious decision by the board in your organization to make engagement and leader ethics. Wisconsin is available and is affordable for everyone. And we didn't want to have funds coming from private organizations or individuals that would raise questions about who's pulling the strings on this effort, we want this to be something that a citizen led and grassroots in every way. Do you think it's possible to change expectations with leader ethics Wisconsin were not naïve about this. We understand that the challenges are huge. But if we stay persistent with this. We think over time we can make that difference I think back to an example of when I was a freshman in college and I was sitting in psychology class and I had a portable ashtray in my left hand and I was chain-smoking cigarettes and I wasn't the only one there were others in the class to. In fact, the air was blue when you think of that image today. It just seems so foreign. But you know the change in that expectation didn't happen in one piece of legislation. It didn't happen in one year. It happened in lots of ways at the legislative level at the organizational level over many years. We think if we stay persistent with this and we continue to have the conversation, consistently in many different communities over time. Yes, we can bring about the change and we can see better ethical leadership in the political.

The city of La Crosse 2020 vision podcasts were set up to talk about things the future. However, in a time of crisis. In the time of the coalbed 19 needed to talk about was going on around us today. Mayor Tim Kabat is our guest and Mayor wherein unprecedented times now, with the coveted 19 and basically the shutdown of not only it out neighborhood cities states that the country is basically shut down Mayor Raga little hello I know that you know more than 100 years ago Spanish influenza back in 1918 and all that it was probably somewhat of a similar situation, but there's not a lot of us alive back then. So for all of us. It really is never experienced before, and I am one of the things I'm really impressed with our earlier larger area community is that people are taking seriously and trying to do the right thing by staying home and meeting interaction, and only making essential travel. So I think we all stay strong and keep itself will be able to get back to normal a little bit quicker Mayor what is the city of La Crosse doing in order to help the citizens. The few areas imagine our critical services email the emergency response and law enforcement to our streets and things like water and sewer service are our garbage pickup and recycling transit service. You know those things are are staying pretty much as it is been a few changes to those services. But for the most part, those are operating in the memory load and those are critical services that the community relies on having been drinking water in and waste disposal on all hats on board's efforts really continue to meet me make some changes to how staff can provide those services. So you been really gotten split shifts and she to schedule so that we don't have all of our team operating in the same place at the same time. Their goal is spread them out and have some folks that are on call versus being not even the officer in field so we made those changes but I think the most part that's not something that you would notice that your turn on your tap water are you know your your weekly garbage pick up whatever goes again are gone as planned, then the other working on the other efforts that we've done the will treating this obviously is a public health emergencies gone to our emergency operations center in a different structure for how the cities organize our fire chief and police chief fire are emergency managers in the brilliant stepped up to take the lead and so we do have a group that still working on our the operation but we've added no folks, now that work on logistics of trying to find in secure that personal protective equipment and other supplies and things that we can help with our our healthcare providers to secure whether that's again master gloves or grounds or whatever the case may be, hand sanitizers in those types of things so we really focused on trying to balance you know keeping our our stirrup services going and also just making sure that our public and our employees are very limited exposure and keeping them safe. Mayor Tim Kabat and I talking about the coalbed 19 and Mary surprised with the size of our community and how we've done better than other communities our size at stopping the spread and that having a slower amount of growth of people that have the coalbed 19 virus have been very impressed with that and I don't know that it really surprised, but I do feel like we we have lot of people taking very seriously and trying to follow the governor secret homeowner and people staying home keeping those social distancing good hygiene practices when they are having to go out. So I I'm hopeful that we can keep this momentum going to turn talk today I believe are 26 cases in nonsexual not had any guests here La Crosse County and then think just about anybody that has been a concern case has recovery so you want to keep that going. Again, it's really because the head of the other places around the country known around the world have experienced this people stay at home and avoid crowds and practice social distancing another you guys guys out there don't wear a mask Republican thing people are arguing that an I think that's what I'm seeing good results here in La Crosse County that we do have a lot of folks that are still on the to do this thing whether that's essential worker travel for groceries or the like… Doing good here and I hope we can keep it up I hope will start to see those numbers now actually start to go down at some point, Mayor one of the big questions I think a lot of people have is there's a lot of small businesses that are based in La Crosse and that are run out of homes and out of some of the great spaces that we have here La Crosse. What is the city of La Crosse doing to help out those small businesses we knew early on, especially when all the governor's order to close the bars and restaurants movement there will be a lot of hardship from a lot of people hurting big time as you said down that one of the things in La Crosse just such a special place in the amount of food that we have that are here owned locally that people in our community are loners, and so we knew that this would be some very dire times for walls owners in them policy for the employees. So we started to reach out, you know, we have one great staff in our our planning departments. They started reaching out to businesses going on trying to understand the impacts and what things the city could do to help out. So we have put together a grant program will not not a large amount of money but hopefully enough funding to get people can buy them some time and get them over the hump until larger efforts from the federal government and state government kicking button got out to a maximum of $25,000 business grant funding to help people out so that the city Council that last week and I think a big challenge is just going to be about the number of businesses that we already heard from ethically last column for more than 100 businesses here La Crosse that are interested in that assistance. And so will have to see how far dollars can go. That's one thing that again. We really wanted to show our business community that the city of La Crosse. Now scanning them as much as we possibly can in helping Naaman and employees follow the links for information are on the city's website at La Crosse duck will want people more information or questions or whatever they can glory. Men between Andrea and Jason are now calling parent or their tongue people trying to work with folks on that conducting similar challenges. The SBA loan almost thinking very bureaucratic program really just trying to make it when I can oversimplify it to make it just very cold so that there's not a lot of hoops to jump through Mayor Tim Kabat you have any words of encouragement for the community as a whole. Staying home being really diligent and strong even myself. I know where times and I recall going just a little stir crazy inside, but it is for the larger group because more people involved in them mostly for healthy and I find there are people out there that the signal think David exposed this and catch this virus with the difficult for them so you want to stay strong and really almost together as a community and encourage our residents to continue. Again, I just been so impressed and thankful that people are taking this very seriously and when there are absolute vessel. I think I wish everybody had their healthy and safe and I continued to practice the social distancing in good hygiene will get through this together.

One word Chris Jones podcast this month talking about what's on everybody's mind these days. Of course, talking Cove at 19th and Chris actually has a special guest with him though much better half of the of the equation there. Stacy is joining him for the first time Stacy, welcome to the podcast so things nowadays you guys basically have a whole life that's change you guys just got married, you're pregnant with their first child. You guys bought a house now were dealing with the pandemic and we all have to kind of shelter in place. How he has been dealing with that I think were doing pretty good I'm doing great. I really really enjoyed being your state how all department where there is so big and kind that will tell you what the few times that Chris is one I see the post on Facebook that he won so that's what friends are for. You have the option of talking your cell phone ringing with the TV or typing it in and I can't tell for ship and I can't talk so I'm like no I like I like the thousand points on the final Jeopardy in my five round my colleague like I can you please hey you probably way more colleges than anybody I know right like college that I got for the figure you think Dick Baker know nothing. So how is the one that you want the chess games. Oh, I can beat my wife and shut public connect for little that were killed or pre-Mac that you go talk our Stacy got a passenger married to a hypnotist as he ever uses hypnotic presence in order to win games that think about. She talked about everything. All that is what you what you call a Chris no birthing you don't get yeah childbirth there you go you can you can learn that and that could be a whole mother side gig for you. Yeah you could see that you would be created yeah I want to be like oh we are feeling pain. You don't feel pain like. So how are you guys doing with the Cove at 19 and I'll be the quarantine and all that cool though I've been working and where to figure out ways to family and not only so a lot of meeting place for learning and they said and trying to be created a new date that and then I will be our main using our work walking and I was when I left the room. The more than seven people on my show book called like some schools are saying you can't performance so July and even then it should be online. Really well so I thought about doing like tell it like tele-type shows I have. I think a lot of performers really like their audiences and you feed off their laughing. Your timing comes in there laughing like Stephen Colbert and all he lately chose to do and she chose without audience and it is it doesn't hit the no really doesn't and especially like with yours and when you call people from the audience to come on up and do and to do things so would probably be a lot different than in a situation like that. So you think that were doing the right thing with the we know quarantine and the shutdown of basically the country code. Stacy and people will know that talking about that kind of thing that people who do think they are so think I think that's how it is well not anymore. What I know one thing that you know so that is very easily. I think that's the question people ask me if it's good or bad, and I wanted to compare it to other like people in Italy are going around and gone the people were outdoor China was monitoring people from their car and they were experiencing separate them immediately. I think you have to find the middle Like you should to some degree Of people who are going out but you shouldn't lock people up with their family because they have house America doing it. I am course, we could do better. All excellent faces that yeah but it other countries and look at the science that says people are getting sick as a hoax and you think you're going to survive this country or as a world with this policy to go next. But you know you can't stop human spirit working get better over. Cannot want to get back to state of normalcy. Yeah, I think I think I think that if we don't have a long talk about. I think that's really key part like the amazing work that are doing that if the we don't slow it down, but a lot of black and I think the fourth likely examined how they do things in a lot of ways examine our policies not possible like just caring for healing in this country and nothing more. Like all the way to go about it because they sound exactly like the sun and people need more than what the government is hopeful that we can come out of having a more solid and yeah a lot of these ideas like everyone hundred dollars check. The socialist idea is a good idea if you were out of work. Give them money to put into the economy like that US dollars here. You know Stacy is your right Chris, but Stacy, the nail on the head with the slowdown in reflection I think that that's what a lot of us need to do in order to to survive and to be it out to be right of mind. You know, and so I want to be healthy, go to the hospital and not be found by people coronavirus give birth and be healthy the kid to be healthy so that one find reason to for someone else will be okay about. Right now without a fight. Without any support. I can't even what that would be like in reality think any words or parting words of the of encouragement and hope for people out there that everything think the thing itself getting into a very hopeless negative outlook of being overwhelmed by things everything to think about the potential you can take advantage of that and get your stuff and enable anything that is your not writing a disease or your family and also indecisive because it can be really overwhelming for find that that one and I think it really really condemning you. Can you talk like a new Chris I wanted to say ditto but with I concur you don't have a dog think about getting a dog that yeah I think that a lot of people who make you love me right now and go shopping online right now and I take it dog or cat out of the foster stable life from being euthanized and the home with your finger help

Teri Lehrke the city of La Crosse city clerk. What is the city clerk do well that does a lot of different things to a lot of licenses. We maintain the records that the common Council records management for the leases contract legislation the account so that a large portion of the duties of the city clerk tell him to be the election administrator for the city. So what does that mean as election administrator for the equally fabulous and equipped the polling places to hire and train the election worker we acquire and maintain the voting machine. Prepare ballot placement certification and and how many quantities ballots were going to need in order to get the right number of pallets printed for each election. We also issue at thinking ballots administer campaign-finance registration and voter registration and with it being an election season and even here is the volume of voter registration and balance it increased quite significantly. Let's talk about voter registration five twins and they just turned 18. I took my son to vote for the first time it took a long time to get registered. There's gotta be a simpler way. There is a simpler way and that's on election day. People in Wisconsin are allowed to register on election day prior to voting. However, there is a new opportunity that's been out for probably two years. It's basically online voter registration. The website that people would be using would be my vote.WI.gov voter registration database is for the whole state of Wisconsin and so the Wisconsin election commission created this online portal with you. Well, to allow for a lot of different things a lawyer can look up the polling place they can check their status to see if they register they can see what's on their ballot, but one thing that is really nice is that they can register totally online. If their drivers license in Wisconsin next is where they live currently is a seamless online voter registration where it's basically a matching system. The databases look at each other and match their address, people can get themselves registered ahead of time if you do at the time it will avoid standing in two lines on election day. At least you will already be registered and then you would have to stand in line for voting purposes. Course there are deadlines are still seated with me online voter registration, the online registration is only available during open registration. What that means is every day of the year. You can register online. If your address also matches the DMV except it closes 20 days before the election and on election day Terry, how does somebody go about registering in person on election day. What do we need to bring. I would encourage people to go to the my vote website. My vote that WI.gov and look up the address of the polling place and so what they know that. And then there at least 10 days. That's a lot of our time. That they have to establish residency for voting, then what they do is they have to bring an acceptable form of proof of residence with them. The most common form is the Wisconsin driver license or ID. If your driver's license or ID has not been changed through the DMV and other acceptable proof of residency document would be a utility like charter bill or sensory or XL energy there a utility bill, bank statement or credit card different things that you can use for proof of residency and all those different things are spelled out on the on the my vote website. You were always here to help people to navigate the system. The municipal clerk Joe is a good resource for voting information we do have a lot of information on the website. We are located in City Hall 400 La Crosse St. on the second floor is anything missing. Just take a look at the my voice I save yourself some time on election day get prepared to get registered and then go

This is Randy Nelson and this is an edition of extra innings as a retiring superintendent of schools. Many things run across my mind when I reflect on 37 years of education, what's happened in those 37 years. What we been doing in our schools and even what's on the horizon to help facilitate the discussion. I've enlisted the assistance of Mr. Bob Schmidt past radio talkshow host a parent and a friend. There's a lot of things is apparent, especially since all for my kids are gone through lacrosse schools that concern the things that are happening in schools that are not good all around the country, you know, I think I we haven't had any issues here in the La Crosse area but when it comes to safety in lacrosse schools. What Things are being done is a lot of things that are been happening over the last several years and unfortunately most of those have been happening as a response to the national scene and tragedies that have taken place in other schools and what we learn from those Sandy Hook really being the one that started a lot more national conversation about school safety, like many other school districts we have stepped out in front as best we can to respond in several different ways. One of the things and probably the most costly thing that we've done is we have now retrofitted every one of our schools and the school district lacrosse to ensure that there is a two-step entryway into the schools by two-step meaning that there is a vestibule there is a there is a place where once you get into the school. There's another holding place that you go in and add before you would see an adult inside of that school so it's kind of a two-stage process to get in and I just to get into the front door. We've also established cameras and an opportunity for person to announce themselves pushing the button I think of the days that you know people Michael in a club and you push a button or sciences was there and so we been able to use security cameras in such a way that someone with a direct line of sight to that doorway can see with the person as they can get a line of vision on that person. They can also buzz in that particular person. And so it does provide for us an opportunity for that person to go through stages before they actually get into the school you know you talk about school safety and I wish that there were guarantees and and in life and and and there really are to whether it's for me or whether it's for you. There just aren't any guarantees that tomorrow morning were to wake up and I wish that there were guarantees, but what I will say is that what our goal is here is to slow people down when someone's coming to school with that terrible intentions. It's to slow people down slow down the process and do what we can to make sure that we have more ample time to to contact we need to contact for help. One of the things to that the La Crosse school district doesn't think does well is that in the middle school and high school. There's a uniformed police officer in those schools all the time right yeah absolutely that's another thing that we've done. It's something that we've included in partnership with the Police Department and that is that we have full-time SRO school resource officers are schools and one of the things that's really true, it's that the job of those individuals is not just to address someone who might break the law someplace on our school campus or thereabouts, but the purpose of that person inside of that particular school is to build relationships of students we want that school resource officer to be connecting with students. We want the school resource officer to be connected with families because what we do find out is that sometimes despite all of the effort in all the work that we put into buy things and to do things inside of the schools like we've been talking about its many times relationships and the capacity for adults to have built strong relationships with students and other family members that we sometimes can get out in front of issues before they died might develop in the something bad at school when it comes to training staff about safety in general. What kind of things are being done to to help our staff out with knowing and being above and being ready to jump in when they need to just make sure that people are not hearing things and just ignoring it, but they are indeed intervening in those types of situations and helping students understand a couple of other things that that were doing in the school district through some grants that came to us from the Department of Justice here in Wisconsin we have on several of our schools. We have installed what we would call some shatterproof a film on some of our schools that again makes it more difficult for an intruder to comment. The other thing that we've done is were implementing what's called a raptor system when someone does come through those front portals to our schools before they can move into the rest of the school or get past that office. They have to swipe their license and that drivers license swipe is actually going through a really quick database that databases helping us better understand if this particular person. For instance, might not be a good person to be in that particular school. We continue to work on those things. I think what's been difficult to see is that we used to do one fire drill per month in a school now are doing active shooter drills, schools, and it's been difficult to watch that transition and it said it's it makes me wonder why got a lot of philosophies about that, but it's one of the discouraging things that I see happening. I really hope that whatever those things are that are milling about that cause these things to happen that they can be addressed whether it's mental health. Whether it's social status than standing on these things need to be addressed. Somehow, because our schools should not be the place where students feel that they are going to school in fear. It should be at least one of several places, but it should always be a place that they feel that they are safe and there amongst adults who care about. Thanks, Randy. I'm looking forward to our next extra conversation retiring superintendent of schools Randy Nelson's extra innings time as a podcastforhire.com

hows homeownership. The house that's pretty cool little life is pregnant and so I've been moving things because she is working and growing up show you the work and enduring morning sickness I'm packing. How far is the house from where you live is currently 20 minutes okay 25 is that traffic right was not horrible and it is only like 4 miles from the airport. Those that make my commute a lot easier. So tell me about the pregnancy, you know, I'm just trying to be thoughtful because Stacy can't drink I'm not drinking, and the you know like wow I really could have like a nice drink right now and not stressed so much or be in my head, but you don't try to be empathetic, so she can't drink. I'm not drinking the babies up the last time we spoke you pretty excited about the about about a couple things we talked about both of them actually talked about that you know the homeownership and about the about you being a father is kind of weird that only first met. I don't think you'd want to be a dad always met me. I deftly didn't want that responsibility. I would like is all about me I am the focus of the and out like I want attention or when the I rather give someone else realize universe is much, much bigger than I which is an insane concept like I'm one person that there's 7 billion people on the planet like to be self-centered at 30 40 you mean you've grown to come along way you know think about it that way. Thanks. Hello. I blame Stacy for my growth yeah yeah something to blame… That's pretty awesome to think about it. If you think about it like is good. I went to one of those job fairs for myself and I showcase for 30 minutes and usually I could do is show and 30 minute like that's plenty of time, but I didn't but I didn't rock my agent because he likely had anything so graciously heavy on stage like it's on audience like to try to stand up and it's funny you give me an ulcer you know is what you get to the part reinvent. I do your skip and I get to the point of the like, yeah, I do my best and his name is Chris as well and I got up there and I on that. I talked for like eight minutes on my 30 nights in three minutes at a time. People now I got to do one or two skits that I got Chris. I got up I wasn't thrilled with my performance. I got off stage and I was like I Stacy was there. My buddy Adam was there. My videographer was there like guys I'm going to go take a nap because I didn't Bob it wasn't a flop but I give that performance to C+ and it was in front of no 1500 people, but in the real other shady thing is there are other hypnotists performed after me the least to others, and they probably did better than I did and it's just what it is like I'm the guy who who had a target on his back. I went the first day like opening this job fair this conference. I didn't compete like I wanted to, but the house alike in a big way so I can't complain what the teacher I had all these ideas I wanted to share with the audience and Stacy like you know what your goal what your purpose and she sleeps in his ability to do this you like just you have a lot of messages just focus on one of them. I like know about inequality in our talk about this idea as a lady standing up if you Restrain your hand your keychain. Show me your preference. Regular size guys. They're afraid of us. We need to be better is the thing I want to talk was that yeah I hear you Stacy like you could just do that at the school. You don't need to go on your platform you know every chance you can you wait to your on-campus yeah but one might ask people from all 50 states in a room at one is like the size of the listeners is a focus on entertainment so I got to the school like a guy I get upset because women have to walk around in the dark with your keeping your fingers and rape whistle and pepper spray and we drunk guys and distributors we want and stucco his own apartment like you understand. I like how privileged we are. So what did I learn you now as you hurry you can drill five whole 5 feet deep, boating, drill one whole 25 feet but you can't do both. Like make your message firm or make five messages whatever dream is and not structurally sound. The binder that make sense yeah actually it does you got that you can 3:30 or four or you can do, wanted to know, yeah, the last thing that all I'll let you go. I think part of that is because I needed someone to talk to. I admitted their personal a while. I haven't had sharing time I got out of the time but just losing my headphones is not enough. I didn't do any writing talk venting all of this is just me moving +567 days by myself with the dog, and the like Tom Hanks and castaway we can just talk to your dog than that of an object being you have my number brother you can always call me I do and that you talk me on a great day like you talking on visiting my mom. My grandma Terry and I'm not a cemetery guy all hang there for all of 60 seconds and I'm like well the bugs I'm leaving cemetery are not my cup of tea

Transcription is for seo purpose only. Your brand name is initiate demand orders competently. It took a while we looked at what we do well we help people really get started. We help them in different formats really start to reach their audience well and because there's so much turmoil in the delivery of content were continually having to initiate new things for the same client with the same content in different formats what content is king. These days content all content content is better than buying ads pretty much buy anything if you have great content, people will consume it but it has to be presented correctly. A lot of people will put up walls of text or poor images or poor video. If you put forth content its poor people tune you out. It's really easy nowadays to simply unlike something or block it or not follow it anymore. We do those things you lose an audience member. So is no content better than poor content. Yes it is. I've seen interesting success with people who know their audience well your audience is someone who they've done business with always over the phone so they will market their basic product with their phone number. They don't have a lot of content on top of that, and those people and turn around and call them it in. That's how that business works and I think that's a key is understanding the business, how it has reached its clients or customers, but more importantly, how else can they in some cases you can only reach specific types of clientele by getting them on the phone. In other cases, you can only get to them through a podcast like were doing today and now we had this distributed market so used to have TV, radio, newspaper, for the most part was a main advertising formats. Now content is distributed in hundreds of different ways and so you need to really have a good content strategy for every chance that your content will be out there and gain someone's attention does a different content reach different clients completely. Please radio. For instance, podcasting reaches way more people in an audio format than radio does today and those people are typically under 30 there already consuming podcast there on spot a fire there using another podcasting type tool or music tool and that's where they find you know, one of the things that we talk about is how the audience is changed. They've moved Hill used to be in that traditional market right your audience was consuming most of your content from TV, radio, newspaper print, then the Internet exploded brought Google on the play. Everyone wanted to be found in the search and want to be found in Google that still important, but was changed now since then is social media. Your audience is now in social media there on their Facebook app all day there and LinkedIn all day there on tick-tock or some other social media apps that they have on their phone that they don't leave that environment so only search for something they don't go out to a browser they search from within that application. That's how they find you and so you had to find ways to reach those audiences almost different places can initiate demand. Help me to do that. That's what we do. That's were very good at how we take the time to understand your business, your customers, not just your existing or potential, and where there consuming content. What type of content they prefer and then how their consuming. Someone may not want to read two paragraphs. Might one of read three sentences they might want a visual image they might want a short video they might want just animate a gift or some humor. It's really take some time to understand the right process. You know in our market. Now we see a large trend to people selling just pay per click ads on Google because in our market. People have been there. Still, in that I want to be on Google search radar and it does help them because right now they're not. But really what would help them even beyond that is to get them into those social realms where they're not performing well and that's one thing that's difficult for most is it's very easy for anyone to create a Facebook page. It's very easy for anyone to create a business page on LinkedIn or have a Pinterest account and post a bunch of stuff there is a misconception that the amount of likes I get current is positive the number of likes you have with content doesn't necessarily mean people are engaged in what you're doing. It simply means liking is easy and it's so easy that Instagram removed likes because it's not a good indicator of what people are looking to turn those views into potential clients. That's the key is to get them, not just from a view, but to get them engaged to have content that causes them to want to do something, whether it's make a comment call you send you a note send you a message you know instant message you through an app, it's really getting them to react in a positive way about what you're talking about about what your content subject matter is and that's what were lacking right now with a lot of social media content that I see out there so is paid versus organic better when it comes to reaching new clients paid as fast, organic is a longer-term process, you can turn much more quickly in the paid solution, but that longer-term content strategy through organic search will last longer. It will have longer value over time. So the question is really, are you trying to quickly enter into a market or specific audience or demographic. And I would see do both. Both of what you know what you're doing is to be that way. Can you be successful at both. Of course you can be very successful both. The issue is making certain that your targeting your audience correctly when I say that I don't mean having the right demographics picked for your ad. I mean having the right content in place. I've had clients who try to replicate what we've done and they don't understand why a specific image works as well as it does to cause a reaction to cause him to engage in what you're doing and they just don't understand and that's okay because their role in their business is not to know how to do that their role in their businesses to run their business and to be a part of their business. There's a reason that I don't do my own plumbing in my house. I call a plumber could I do it sure should I Heck no. So you're the guy that'll come in when your quote. Brother-in-law knows how to do website or your quote child knows how to set up a Facebook page or your you know your best friend's son or daughter is a is great at twitter you're the guy that comes in and does the cleanup. A lot of times, yes. But the difficulty is understanding those previous efforts. You see IA's people are liking our page. People are liking your content and right now the assumption is that is very positive, but likes are so easy, it's not engaging you need to be engaged in your and your client base need to post things they want to read it in our world. Not many people want to read about social media and how to market it. Not many people want to understand it from a business right what's right way to go ahead and and tackle some of these things, you know that you know we talked about we talk we talked a little bit about paid versus organic. We talked about the different you know putting putting stuff up and putting it up regularly. But what's the right way to go ahead and tackle getting new clients with my social media search really good strategy you have to have a strategy before you attack any of a lot of people will simply look at I just want to bid on a keyword and I'll do that but that keyword brings them to say their website or landing page, but their website itself doesn't convert that customer doesn't turn them into someone who calls them, or engages in their website or their podcast or whatever that that content is being pushed to from that paper click add and so all of a sudden they don't see good conversion rate on what they're doing and they just give up when, in essence, the ad was good targeting was good it was causing people to go to that secondary location there website or something else with their website itself wasn't set up to convert someone. It wasn't set up well to do that and sometimes those changes can be very simple. One of the best things you can do is stop hiding your contact information on the contact page. If I hit it. If I click on an ad and I go to your website and I want to call you. I'm not typically going to click two or three more times. I want to know how to get a hold of you right now, especially with small businesses. It's very relevant
