TALKS with Dan Kathman

First time combining stand-up like material (with a stage mic) with my funny-backdrop-advice-lists-sit-down videos. This is done a little differently, but I liked it a lot. The topic is following up my TikTok Hit series "What Not To Say To Women When They're Upset."

Hope you enjoy this new style as much as I did. 

Thanks so much for listening & follow the show if never want to miss an episode.

With over a million views on TikTok, this funny advice struck a chord with people. Hope you enjoy this short audio episode. 

If you want to be a creator, photographer, video creator, entrepreneur, writer, etc. then you must gain this skill of starting. Start before you're ready. Take some action as you're learning. Because if you don't, no amount of knowledge or schooling will ever be enough.   

The truth is we're always learning. We should always be a student to our craft, but if you don't start, you'll never get anywhere, no matter how much you know.  

Hope this helps!

No Spoilers! It's more about what shows like Stranger Things are doing to and for TV.  We also talk about what this means for entertainment industry as a whole. We talk TV Shows of the 90's and 00's like Friends and Seinfeld. Not just about the none-filmmaking style, but in how many episodes per season vs how few now. What it means for Filmmakers, Creators & Entrepreneurs. I hope you enjoy this. If you want me to talk more about this stuff, leave a comment and let me know what you want to talk about next!

There are many ways to manage your time, and think about time management. 

But in summary: 80/20, The One Thing & Studies show Work/Life Balance is actually found in the extremes. 

Hope this helps!

This took me forever to get, so I hope it helps you on your professional or creative journey. There is one big difference between the pro and the amateur, and it's not money.

I got that from Tim Ferris in his book Tribe of Mentors. I tend to overthink and over complicate things. I also try to find the most efficient way to do anything. This question does just that. Start thinking like an overachieving lazy person.  

 I hope you enjoy this episode!

In short-form video, the first seconds, half a second, can be the most crucial part of your video. 

You have to hook, and hook them fast. And not by saying, "STOP SCROLLING" That doesn't work anymore.   

Come up with a title for your video, and say it immediately.  Start off with mystery, start off with comedy, start off with intrigue, great information, entertainment, education, inspiration, whatever you're doing it start. Don't wait.   

People are scrolling faster and faster. Your most important line is the first one. What you do after that is up to you, but that's where you should start, or edit your videos in the future. No dead time. No looking at the camera to see if it's recording. No boring opening shot. No welcome back. Just start.   

The first Half a second to 3 seconds, might be THE MOST important on any short-form video.   

Hope this helps!
