is, um, we're starting to do what's called quick hits where we'll have the 35 minute,
you know, 45 minute episode, but then we also release like three to five minute
clips that can not only be repurposed on social media, but if someone's just,
you know, on the go and they just want to hear those golden nuggets that are
like the best pieces of each episode, you can find those too.
Absolutely.
I, because as much as people have the appetite for the long form stuff is like,
they also don't, or also they, it's a different world.
It's like, if we can give it to somebody on their Instagram feed, you might get them.
Yes.
And I have to tell you one of my dirty little secrets when it comes to, uh,
listening to podcasts is I always use the pod catcher that has the ability to
speed up the time of the episode.
So if it's like a 45 minute episode, I'll do it at like a 1.5 times speed so
that it can be done in 30 minutes and I can get back to whatever it was doing.
Right.
Just right, just cram it down and move on.
Yep.
It's just one of those weird, uh, cork things that I do.
I do it with YouTube videos too.
If I'm like trying to learn something, I always look and see like, can I, can I
get this done a little bit faster so I can get the content and then get back to
this, you know, what I need to do.
Interesting.
I'm going to have to try that out.
It's kind of addicted to it though.
And it's bad because like then when people are talking in real time, I'm
like, can you talk a little faster?
That's hilarious.
Yeah.
Which is really not good.
You could say a lot of things about YouTube, maybe not being so good, but whatever.
Yeah.
But it's, Hey, I mean, I, I've learned a lot on YouTube.
I mean, I learned how to change my own, um, my lights on my car, like, you know,
my headlights, like that kind of stuff.
It's kind of wild how literally anything you could ever want to know you can find
online.
Your exact make and model of car.
Sometimes the headlights on that thing.
Yeah.
Yep.
And that's exactly what it was.
Like I just Google exactly what you're looking for.
And, and that's kind of one of the cool things about podcasting too, is that, you
know, because people are talking about anything and everything, you never know
what you're going to find.
And, and once you do find it, you can be opened up to like a whole realm of
possibilities.
And I think that's one of the things that's so cool about this medium is not
only are people finally getting their messages out there, but they're, they're,
they're teaching people things that they didn't even know existed.
Absolutely.
I had a guy on my podcast.
Maybe you should have him on your show.
His name's Clayton Cutary.
He's out in Pittsburgh and he does a podcast about consciousness.
So things like psychedelics, meditation, all that sort of stuff.
What I learned talking to him was like mind blowing.
It wasn't stuff that I didn't know, but I just, I didn't understand it as well.
And then you talk to him and it's just like, but so he found his niche first
and then went for it.
That's awesome.
I absolutely love that.
So now with the, with your podcast, what do you see for the future of it?
And maybe even like the near future and beyond.
Yeah, good question.
Well, like I said to you, like the first hundred episodes, it was just a mishmash.
Some of it was good.
So it was bad that a lot of the like visual branding was pretty,
pretty corny on my part.
I had a friend finally tell me, he's like, you gotta, it's looks like, it doesn't
look great.
It looks a little cheesy.
It's like, okay.
So I changed the branding.
We went to this side of blue and orange, a little sleeker, and now I'm really
focusing on talking to entrepreneurs, people who are building people, not just
entrepreneurs, but creatives, artists.
You know, people who are building a legacy, people who are building something
bigger than themselves.
And then I want the podcast to be of use to them because I've got what I need out
of this podcast already.
Now I want to turn around and in some insane way think that I can maybe offer
something to other people.
It's just a chance to express their thoughts and then have those thoughts
packaged and used to promote themselves.
So that's the shift I think is making this useful to the guest for a change.
