The 5 with Wendi Cooper

Some of my favorite epsides in a fun montage. 

2021 has been a year that feels like it wasn't.  I wasn't here much this year because its been a tough one for me.   I thought I would create a montage of past episodes, of course in just 5 minutes, to have a little year end fun.

All of the episode clips you'll enjoy here are available in their full glory if you scroll down and binge for a while!

Happy 2022 everyone, wherever you are in the world.

Stay Safe - Stay Healthy - Thanks for listening.

It's not cool to disrespect your Creators, and so I decided to put it to a cute little tune.

Enjoy!  

And thanks for listening.

The Creator Economy - this term bugs me.  

Is it really an economy if the Creator isn't making money and is putting in all the work?  Why is our content subject to artificial intelligence algorithms that can sink you on the whim of a line of code? 

What came first the Creator or the Startup - that needs the Creator to exist? 

I've been creating for 27 years, some for passion and most for my profession.  Creating content isn't something one wakes up to do..or do they?

If this is a Creator Economy then who is really making the money?

Enjoy this short plea for Creator to embrace their power and preserve their passion by controlling their content completely.

Music:  No. 6  In My Dreams by Esther Abrams Youtube Music Track.

"Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage Go Together Like a Horse and Carriage..."  this song was the theme to the 80s sit-com Married with Children making in familiar to many generations.  

It is the song that I hear when I think of my youth, my very young youth, like baby youth.  That's going way back.  

Throughout my life that song has always sprung a connection to my mother, I hear her voice singing it, even though I haven't heard her voice for 16 years.

Is this my sonic childhood memory.

Music: Fair Use 

So much money is made in credit card processing that Clubhouse spoke much too soon when they swore it was all about the creator.  


Townhall is every Sunday on Clubhouse at 9AM PST.  The founders review this and that and the other thing.  Very curated.  But, this Sunday they announced that there will soon be, in the next few months, giving the ability to tip and send payments to creators in app and through Strip globally.  And, that they would be taking a percentage of that revenue.

No shit Sherlock.  The statement by the founders that they would not be taking a percentage I found extremely odd and also against their fiduciary responsibility to their share holders as it would make perfect sense to take a "gateway" type fee, resulting in a self sustaining revenue model. 

It appears the founders realized they had misspoken.  

That's what I talk about in this episode.

MAKE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE :) 

How often do you hear hosts say "make sure to "subscribe to my podcast"....what does that mean to you?  And why am I talking about it? 

More than likely it means that they want you to "follow" the podcast and by subscribing to an Apple Podcast it won't cost you a penny, but now it may just cost you whatever...the host wants to charge.

Why is podcasting becoming a pay to listen medium?  I don't have the answer to that, but I do have an opinion on how to use "subscribe" and why it's about time...kind of. 

So how does that work?  Well, here is the email that I received from Apple - letting me know how excited they are!

Wendi Cooper - the host of this show - is also the owner of easyGopro - go time just got easier ergonomic toilet stool.  Launched since 2014, it is self-funded and managed for the past 7 years solely by Wendi.  

It's not that poop stools aren't a great business, or it's a bad product.  I am not selling the business.  I am selling the balance of the inventory  and the IP/Tooling to whomever would like to buy it.  The proceeds will pay off the debt of the company that has become a challenge because no employees, no PPE loans.

Combined with amazon.com fees, warehouse charges, and competing in the category, it is just time to move on. 

Behind the scenes information, so make sure to go grab one while there is still some left.  It's not a sales pitch, it's fact.

Welcome to my improvisational moments where I share my truth in 5-6 minutes a day.  

SAY HELLO TO KARMA - I AM NOT YOUR SAVIOR

Unscripted, and "unmixed" professionally, I express my truth about a "brand", and I use that term lightly, that heard me speak on Clubhouse and decided I was their next victim to blame for their bad decisions.  

I would never use my voice to belittle, berate, or call anyone out in public for their actions, but these (2) people deserve every ounce of karma I can throw their way.  You deserve every once of it, if not more.  

Enjoy the Karma.  Thanks for listening.

The opinions expressed are solely those of the host.  

I speak with my alter ego about getting back to the studio and what I've learned from the pandemic and what needs to change as we go back to work and see, smell and work with each other again.  Is it really a new normal, or is just a better version of normal.  

Unfiltered and unedited.  I love improv.

It's been a minute is a phrase used to express the opposite of what it sounds like it means.  Which can be extremely confusing yet fun at the same time.  Like "cool" or "bitch'n".

When is it appropriate to use it and when not?   Have you ever wondered, who said it first?  Does it translate well?   What does "it's been a minute" sound like to others?  

It's a fun episode of not so thought provoking banter, but hey, it was one of those nights, and it's really has been a minute.

Thanks for listening.
