September 20, 2021 My Retro Camera Addiction
Send a text message to the show!
Over the past two months I've accumulated a number of interesting (and functioning!) "retro" camcorders, including the world's first camcorder with an interchangeable lens!

This week I want to take you on a journey through time to uncover some of the awesome stories that these cameras have to tell. This is a VERY visual episode, so if you want to see everything, you can join me over on Patreon for the video version.

September 13, 2021 The Icky World of YouTube "Payola"
Send a text message to the show!
Last week I stumbled across a Reddit post that shed some light on a side of YouTube & content creation that's less than wholesome" people being paid to leverage their influence without disclosing the fact that they're being paid.

It was a long post, so I want to break it down and dive in to see what this means for creators and viewers alike.

August 30, 2021 Is Marketing Inherently Evil?
Send a text message to the show!
In 4 years of "doing YouTube" my thoughts on marketing have changed quite a bit. Is it something that's inherently bad, or can it be a tool for good? Heather joins the podcast this week to talk about some recent "revelations" I've had about the confusing world of marketing.

Heather makes her Season 5 debut to talk all about the Passion Economy business model and how its approach can help you to earn a living doing what you love without needing astronomically high numbers of subscribers and viewers.

Send a text message to the show!
It’s been a strange week. After one of our friends passed away unexpectedly, Heather and I have been talking about what it means to build genuine relationships with people online and the impact that can have. I wanted to share a bit about our friend Jake and also dive in to what I learned from him about the power of putting yourself out there creatively and the impact that you can have, regardless of what any numbers of analytics may say.

July 19, 2021 How to Protect Your YouTube Channel from Evildoers
Send a text message to the show!
If you’re a YouTube Creator, keeping your channel safe should be a top priority. Not only do you need to guard yourself from hackers and other evil doers, but in recent months the YouTube platform itself has become more aggressive about suspending and deleting channels, which in some cases are not violating any terms of service.

This week’s episode includes some practical tips for keeping your channel safe. It’s not an exhaustive or foolproof list, but it’s a good start. And I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to send text, audio, or video messages to:
[email protected]
And be sure to stick around to the end of the episode for a special video reply from last week and a surprise announcement!
