1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,060
It's all over.

2
00:00:01,060 --> 00:00:03,640
Everything is over.

3
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:04,600
Let me explain.

4
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,120
So if you watch the last episode,

5
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,560
I realized that daily one hour episodes does not work.

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,400
So then I cut it down to however long I needed

7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,680
the episode to be is how long it was.

8
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,320
And then I realized that daily episodes

9
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,680
is not what I wanted to do because

10
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,920
I want higher quality episodes.

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,920
So then I decided to take a break.

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,040
And it was fine because I had seven episodes scheduled

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,960
ahead of time to be able to just not record for a few days.

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,200
And I was still posting daily episodes.

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,000
So it's been a few days, probably

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,520
been like three or four days since I recorded last episode.

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,520
And the exact day is November 2nd to Thursday.

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,840
I don't remember when I recorded last episode,

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,720
but it doesn't really matter because

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,640
in the past couple days,

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,800
I read a few books about podcasting.

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,920
And I realized that I need to just restart.

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,960
I just need to restart everything

24
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:15,320
because this podcast is very low quality

25
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:16,720
looks on professional.

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,160
The image, the profile pic, my website,

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,520
everything is unprofessional.

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,800
And then the actual audio is very bad

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,080
because I don't prepare and I just talk for an hour.

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,240
So then I realized I gotta just restart.

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,560
So what I'm doing is my plans right now

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,320
are to go to season two.

33
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,480
Right now, every episode has been on season one.

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,760
There's been 104 episodes in season one

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,200
and this is the last episode of season one.

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,160
And usually podcasts like mine don't go to season two,

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,920
but I feel like it's needed because

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,880
the trailer in season one is terrible.

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,920
It's my most downloaded video and it's terrible.

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,880
So it's probably pushing people away

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,840
from actually watching my episodes.

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,360
But I wanna keep it up because I want people

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,080
to be able to see where I came from.

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,480
I want people to see my journey.

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,640
So that's why I'm going to season two

46
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,240
so I can get a brand new trailer.

47
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,240
And then another thing is the new website.

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,560
I made a brand new website on the podcast.

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,080
So it's jamesridsonski.com if you wanna check it out.

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840
I'm gonna actually take a lot of notes

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,960
and consolidate them all down to one episode.

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,400
So my plan's moving forward as weekly episodes,

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,480
just once a week, every Friday.

54
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,920
And I'm actually gonna edit the episodes.

55
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,200
They're gonna be higher quality.

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,960
I'm gonna prepare the whole week for the actual recording.

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,040
And I already have like 10 episode ideas.

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,160
So, but I don't know how long the episode is gonna be.

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,480
I'm just gonna have it as long as it needs to be

60
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,920
for what I'm saying.

61
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,840
But I want it to be a little longer than like,

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960
I want it to be longer than like 20 minutes.

63
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,640
I want it to actually be a decent length episode.

64
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,960
But it's only gonna be weekly episodes.

65
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,240
And I want high quality.

66
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,200
That's what I'm focusing on right now.

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,120
And this episode actually is gonna be

68
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,160
the first actual edited episode.

69
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,040
So, me recording it, I have not really,

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,680
there's been a lot of kind of pauses that I've had.

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Or I'm actually gonna edit it.

72
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,080
And I'm gonna, I have to figure out how to edit first.

73
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,520
And I have to figure out how to actually edit videos.

74
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,080
I have to figure out what to actually use.

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,920
All of this stuff is part of the journey.

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,480
You have to figure out how to do it and what to even use.

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,800
Like right now I record on OBS, OBS Studios.

78
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,960
I didn't even know what to record on in the first place.

79
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,320
I had to look around and then I found this.

80
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440
I actually recorded one of my episodes on podcast.

81
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,320
But then I realized that I only have like 10 hours

82
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,200
of recording per month and that's not enough

83
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,960
for my purposes.

84
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200
All of that said, where I'm moving forward,

85
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,160
daily or weekly episodes.

86
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280
And I'm gonna revamp the descriptions,

87
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,600
the description of the shows.

88
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,800
And also I'm gonna maintain my three TikToks,

89
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,280
three daily TikToks every day.

90
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:21,120
So I'm sorry if I kind of seem a little

91
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,080
razzled right now.

92
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,520
It's because I didn't meditate before this episode,

93
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,160
but that's not the excuse.

94
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,960
To be honest, I was not very well prepared

95
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,600
for this episode obviously because I came in

96
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,720
without much recording.

97
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,000
But it's the last, all right,

98
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,480
I'm just gonna say the last thing.

99
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,960
The last lesson, one of the biggest lessons

100
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,200
that I learned over the past couple of days is,

101
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,400
actually before I say that,

102
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,280
I wanna tell you that I failed.

103
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:49,640
So I said that I don't watch YouTube

104
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,760
and I didn't until like a week ago

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,400
when this one video popped, like caught my attention

106
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,600
while I was posting my YouTube videos on my phone.

107
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,720
So one video caught my attention and then I watched it

108
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,000
and I applied what I learned in that video.

109
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,720
And it basically revolutionized all of these changes

110
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,680
that I'm making right now.

111
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,100
So naturally I really liked that.

112
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:18,080
So then I kind of correlated checking the YouTube feed

113
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,560
with making drastic changes

114
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,240
and learning about drastic changes that need to be done.

115
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,040
The first time it happened, good, I got drastic changes.

116
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,760
I'd revamped my daily routine.

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,320
And then the second time, nothing really happened.

118
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,880
I just learned, I just saw some garbage videos,

119
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,640
like nothing really, really good.

120
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,360
Yet I was still opening YouTube and checking the app.

121
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,040
I was still doing it every day

122
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,720
until I got to one YouTube video.

123
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,880
It was a Hamza video where he said,

124
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,400
like he talked to seven millionaires

125
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,700
and got secrets from them.

126
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:00,440
So I watched that whole video through.

127
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,360
All of the secrets, I didn't really,

128
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,560
like they weren't really very beneficial to me

129
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,520
because I already knew them,

130
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,160
but the last thing that he said,

131
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,040
he was basically saying that,

132
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,680
and here's the lesson that I learned

133
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,480
that actually drastically changed everything for me.

134
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,480
He said that you're a entrepreneur

135
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,020
if you don't have any way to get paid.

136
00:06:21,020 --> 00:06:24,940
So pretty much I'm kind of paraphrasing what he said.

137
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,160
Essentially you are still a entrepreneur

138
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,600
if there's no way for you to get paid.

139
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,920
So if I wanted to pay you right now,

140
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,600
if I wanted to pay you money and I couldn't

141
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,980
because you didn't have any offer up

142
00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:44,640
or you didn't have like a payment processor or anything,

143
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,080
then you're still a entrepreneur.

144
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,960
And he said most people are in that stage

145
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,140
where they don't even have anything up.

146
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,200
And just the way he said it really clicked.

147
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,440
And then he said that you're not actually a entrepreneur

148
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,240
until you get your first payment up.

149
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,960
And then he said, get it up right now.

150
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,720
Like don't say, don't cope and say,

151
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,680
oh, I don't, like I don't, my offer's not good enough

152
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,840
or oh, this or that, don't give all those excuses.

153
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,240
Basically put it up and then that's where you're,

154
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,200
that's when you're actually an entrepreneur.

155
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,280
And once you put it up, then you can actually go through

156
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,920
and figure out, oh, do I need more traffic?

157
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,280
Oh, do I need to increase the value of the, of my offer?

158
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,120
All of these things,

159
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000
that's when you actually do the entrepreneurship.

160
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,240
That's when you actually do the strategies

161
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,000
and basically figure out what's wrong

162
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,440
and what you need to improve upon.

163
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,760
So this whole time I was a launch entrepreneur.

164
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,800
And then right after that video, I realized like,

165
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,280
oh, I actually have to do this.

166
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,680
So right away after that video,

167
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,840
I signed up for a bank account.

168
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,340
I used a Mercury.

169
00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:52,800
I didn't know if that was the best bank account to use.

170
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,560
I didn't, I did care, but I realized that I was just coping

171
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,540
trying to find the best one.

172
00:07:58,540 --> 00:08:00,000
So I just went with Mercury

173
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,640
because it said it was the best for startups.

174
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,480
So I did that.

175
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,440
And then I signed up for a Stripe payment processor.

176
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,960
And I haven't actually gotten a live thing out yet,

177
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,400
but I plan on doing that soon.

178
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,040
I plan on offering up a coaching service.

179
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,240
And actually, I actually don't have enough money

180
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,040
to buy ClickFunnels for one month right now in my account,

181
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,760
in my actual bank account.

182
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,760
So, but I am in the works of selling my Xbox

183
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,480
and my old VR and all my controllers.

184
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,020
So I'm trying to sell that for $200.

185
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:43,240
So once I get that, then I'll be able to buy

186
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,400
a month of ClickFunnels.

187
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,400
And then I'm gonna actually make my coaching service.

188
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,560
But I'm gonna, I might try and figure out some other

189
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:55,040
like cheaper way to do it.

190
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,000
Maybe some way free way to set it up,

191
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,400
but that's it, that's the last lesson

192
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000
of this entire season.

193
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,760
This is the shortest episode that I've made

194
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,480
in probably like 100 days.

195
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,120
But that's it for the episode.

196
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,880
So look out for season two.

197
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,760
The season two trailer is gonna be posted on Thursday.

198
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,200
And then on Friday is the first episode's gonna go live.

199
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,680
Not, okay, so right now is November 2nd,

200
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,320
which is Thursday.

201
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,320
And so on November 9th, that's when the trailer

202
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,560
is gonna be posted.

203
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:39,960
And then November 10th is when the first episode

204
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,000
is gonna go live.

205
00:09:41,000 --> 00:10:01,000
So look out for that and have a good day.
