Happy Sunday! Time is running out on this weekend. Let's make the most (and best) of it by creating some content! Are you focused on football today or making your dreams come true? Real talk. Ok so it's football.

What about before the game(s)? After? What about half-time? Come on, we have work to do.

Today I explain the various content forms, types, and delivery methods online, as well as how to find ideas.

I have a lot of ideas to share with you that might motivate you to get creative and start producing output to your audience and/or customers and/or fans. 

I also touch on keyword search and search engine optimization (SEO) but will get more into that tomorrow and in the future.

I'm here to bring you the knowledge that I'm picking up along the way to save you some time and hassle, baby.

I'm also here to digress off subject, swear, and talk about whatever the fuck I want. WHOA! Where'd that come from?! But mostly, I stay on topic.

I offer tips on how to break through writer's / content creator's block through various methods, and offer you a solution to when you are behind on your content.

I also dilly dally into other topics and rants about my day, as usual. Join me in the journey towards consistent content creation! 

Topics include:

• always getting back up after you fall down
• fighting depression and anxiety
• how to start the day off right
• how to plan something daily to look forward to
• me venting about failure

Keep creating stuff. I am not doing well with this challenge. Oh well. Let's keep trying! This weekend I am dedicated to creating content (meaning, I am going to write jokes).

I talk about a dead guy who is helping to motivate me with his old seminars on YouTube. He is a master at Neurolinguistic programming (NLP). Wait, don't go. 

He's an excellent motivational speaker who has been dead for ten years, yet I listen to him and he helps me.

I will summarize some of his points for you and make some recommendations on how to be happy.

(Just fyi there is a slight pause before the recording starts that I failed to edit out.) You're probably thinking...what does content creation have to do with Wild Times?

If you work hard to create something, you get to reward yourself with wild times (fun, adventure, going out, laughing, dancing, and cutting loose).

The focus is STILL on happiness, health, and productivity, with the current, narrower focus being on using our creativity, whether it lays dormant or is springing forth actively.

Join me in my process of developing the content development habit. Doing this podcast daily is a start for me. Writing new comedy material daily is the goal, and getting clips of my comedy to send to bookers. Busting through creative blocks. LET'S DO IT! 

Oh, and plan a wild time for yourself (in whatever way you want) for your next day off. Never have a day off? Quit. Unless you LOVE working, then fine. Still take some time off, though. Write down what you can do that is SOMEWHAT WILD (not mild).

This will give you something pleasurable to look forward to. Yes. It could be sex. Plan your sex. Planned sex sucks, but do it if you have to.

I also offer podcasting tips in this episode and recommend a good video on youtube that I found helpful.

For the content challenge, I discuss several things I am going to do for creating stuff that might inspire you. 

Equipment I am using to podcast:

• Rode mic
• H4n Pro Zoom hand-held recorder
• Audiotechnica USB mic
• Behringer Mixer
• xlr cables for the microphones (6' and cheap)
• Cheap but good Sony headphones for your guests 
• USB with multiple USB ports (USB hub)
• Mic stand (table top)
• MacBook Pro
• Live Streaming easy channel/screen changer

Host your own Paint Night or Craft night or Game Night or Podcast table setup:

• 6' table
• Little wooden easels that fit little canvases
• 30-pack of 8x10 primed canvas panels
• Paint brush sets for parties
• Acrylic paint set
• Clay for art parties or sculpting for fun and relaxation
• Clay tool set
• 4 folding chairs set
• Waterproof aprons with pockets (set of 4, cheap)
• Ping-Pong table top portable game (net clips to any desk or table)
• Ping Pong balls set (beer pong or table tennis)
• Tarp to protect the floor
• Tablecloth to protect the table
• Link to my Pinterest with the different drinking games you can get

Parties are fun, aren't they? Have one on the weekend once and awhile and host the fun for your friends and/or family or co-workers.

Paint nights are great for team-building and relaxing fun. 

Do it, homey.

This was recorded earlier today. I finally used my good microphone! The sound should be much better than previous episodes. Today I vent my frustrations about why I hate recording myself and making clips.

Join me in planning out content development. Plan to write or draw or paint or cook or record or decorate or perform or grow or build something or make a video (or make ANYTHING) just to start being creative and feel what that feels like. Impress yourself by producing some content every day. What do you like to make?

Link to my Rode microphone that I'm using today, in case you wanna do this shit.

Let’s drop our screen time down and increase our creative output. The focus for the next two weeks is less consumption (like of entertainment or social media or food or drinking) and more production.

What can you create today? Jokes? A podcast? A video series? Music? Prepared meals for your family? A new deck on your house? A product to sell? What can you make? What can you produce? Decide and then do that for 14 days. I’ll be checking in on your (and my) progress. This will be good for us. Join me.

Join us for a Wild Times party podcast where we do shots n’ crafts! We play the drinking game “shot roulette” and paint lovely sunflowers.

This podcast gets cut off at some random point, my bad.. we should have been the ones who were cut off.
