Hey guys, how are you doing?
Let me just hit the live button here, so people know we're...
We did a fantastic job at the 100x.
Thank you so much, Mary Alice.
I appreciate it.
Were you watching virtually?
Sometimes.
I've been painting.
Oh, wow.
And I'm still not done.
What are you painting?
Well, the idea was just to get some boards and box up my windows.
I painted 14, 14 foot boards.
And then yesterday he brought nine more and expected those all done in one day.
But let me tell you, yes, it was stressful, but what I gained from it, I'm out there painting
and I thought, yes, in the past when I do stuff like this, I hurt all over more than
any place else.
And I thought, wait a minute, that's the past.
He says, his grace is sufficient.
He says, as the day shall your strength be, so I did that, did not hurt, got up at eight
o'clock and finished the rest of the nine boards.
Oh my gosh.
That's amazing.
Well, you know, it's worth what you gain if you gain it.
Yeah.
I love that.
So I remodeled our house and I felt like the Lord and I had a lot of conversations as we
did work together.
I felt like I got a lot of revelation out of it.
That's awesome.
That's so fun.
I see Denise is joining us.
Hey, Denise.
Hi, good morning.
Good morning.
Denise, I know that you filled out the form.
I see that.
So if you want to, we can just jump in.
You said you had some technical things you needed help clearing up.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, first of all, I wanted to say that we worked for six hours yesterday on the podcast
and we a lot done in refining our message, our core audience.
We almost got it recorded, but then what I realized at the end was that I just don't
know how to organize my content.
And I loved your message on redeeming what God wants to restore in us.
So I have a lot to think about there in terms of my core content.
And then this was the most amazing thing.
I was on the website last night and I ran across your video that you guys did on getting
organized for creatives and I haven't listened to it yet, but my goodness, it was like the
answer to my biggest question.
So I'm like, wow, you guys really are awesome.
You think ahead, you know what we're going to run into.
That was like really great to find.
Thank you for that.
Because what happens is my biggest content question is that I get fresh revelation is
not a problem.
I get it all the time.
I just don't know what to do with it, how to scale it down into bite-sized pieces that
people can actually swallow.
And you know, Lindsay, you're very concise in your, but I know I've had to learn.
I know you said you have to learn how not to ramble, but I think you're very concise
and that's where I keep getting stuck is that I'm like, I have to just do bullet points.
My husband says you're a writer and I'm like, you, this is a podcast, not writing, but anyway,
I'm going to really think about what you said.
And I'm going to look at, I'm going to go through all those questions and listen to
that.
So I think that will answer that question over the next week or so.
But if anyone has suggestions about how to organize things, and I'm, I'm hesitant to
jump into Notion because it's another thing to learn, but I will listen to your video
and do it if that's, if you think it's the best way to go.
Some people organize like on Excel or pages, you know, organize their thoughts.
So we did that teaching, which is like the, the masterclass one, it was, we spent like
an hour going through all of Notion stuff.
I did make, I think last week I did a little five or six minute video on YouTube, which
I dropped in the chat here.
And part of that video is I also included the template that we use.
So if you did use Notion, you can duplicate that template and it's kind of set up for
episodes.
And that's just to, that's just to capture the content and kind of file it into episodes.
Because again, we like something that is cloud-based, whether it's Google docs or something like
Notion.
You can use Evernote just because, should your computer be tossed into the sea, you're
still able.
to have that content anywhere. And I'm able to, like Notion is an app, Google Docs is an app,
so if I get an idea, like when I'm on the road, I can access it from my phone when I'm away from my
computer and capture it there and it's all in one place. Because what I used to do is I'd have a
scribbled note of paper in my notebook and then I would have something in my notes app and then
I would have something in my email that I emailed to myself. That's me. And so that just helped me
organize my content, keep it all in one place because as ideas and fresh revelation float,
I'm like, okay, this might be something I want to make into an episode. And so I just capture that
into what we use as Notion. You can use whatever you like. And the concise thing, it comes with
practice because before I started doing posture, I was doing long sermon format and I was used to
almost this idea of it needed in order for it to be substantive, it had to be long,
had to have five points, had to be very practical. And I just, I think one of the things I did as
far as the mindset is I just one big idea per episode. So what would have been a sermon with
five points, maybe I took one of those points and made it into an episode and then maybe made
a series out of the five points around the umbrella topic of whatever that was. And you almost feel
like it's not enough for people, but people live such very busy lives that it's actually a service
to them to make it short and people will come back. So it's not, it doesn't have to, I think
we think it's our only touch point sometimes, but when you're serving your who, like they're going
to come back to you because you're giving them what they need and you're reaching them where
they're at. So just don't be afraid. Don't think of it as a limitation because that's what I had
to kind of overcome of like, man, but there's so much more to say. And I don't want people to get,
take this out of context, you know, they need to, they need all the, they need, they need five
verses, you know, versus one, but you know, that's what the description is for. Sometimes I'll
mention, I'll make it about one scripture, but I might mention a few other scriptures. I don't
like read the whole thing, but I'll put that in the description below. And so people can see the
notes and there's creative ways for you to have more content in a shorter amount of time and
really serve people that way. Don't hesitate if it's, if that's the thing that's stopping you
from just hitting record and seeing how long it actually is and then seeing, okay, maybe cut this
up or maybe I post the full thing, but then I cut up a little bit and also post some of these
smaller pieces to it and lead to the full, you know, link to the full 30 minute or 20 minute.
And we, we do all of that in the planning phase, you know, there's like the first phrases plan and
then produce where you're actually sitting in front of the camera, you know, presenting it.
And so that planning phase, you can, it's always easier to edit in that planning phase, right?
Then at like, then during you're producing it, or when you're trying to edit it, like in the
software to taking and moving a paragraph round or like taking this long script and spilling it
into two episodes and stuff. It's so, it's so easy to do on, on you know, notion or whatever
tool you're using to plan it. So that's what I say, just don't try to rush that planning phase
too much because there's it, you'll, you'll make up for that time later down the road. So the
extreme version of this is like what I do, which is like, I'd record a tutorial for something. I
just hit record and I just like make it up as I go. And I ended up with this like 45 minute video
and I have to go and like chop it up into little bits. And I'm like, everything's like a three or
four second, you know, soundbite. And it takes another two hours or so of editing. Whereas
there's just, there's just better ways to do it. So having some time. And again, that was,
that's pretty easy to do for like a tutorial or a tech thing. When you're doing spiritual
concepts, when you're doing life-changing, you know, concepts, you need to, it definitely serves
you well to spend some extra time in that planning phase, I would say. Okay. Now that's good advice.
Thank you. So going to the, that's very helpful. Going to the few tech questions I had.
Um, when I was getting into the, um, um, music, um, I was looking at how you have some music that
we can download, which is awesome. And I found one I really liked and, but I can't figure out
how to get it to play while recording my video. Okay. Um, it's on my Mac. It's on my Mac. Okay.
It's on my phone. Um, so what you'll do is actually record your video and then
you can use something like iMovie or something to kind of put them together.
Oh, okay. So you'll need to edit it. It's not complicated. You'll open iMovie. You'll drag
your video in. You'll drag the sound in. And there's some video training and stuff on iMovie,
but you don't have to edit it or do anything fancy. Just at least get it to where you can have
the video and the sound from your video, and then underneath it will be the music that you want
to play. So there'll be some options in there to make the music softer or louder so that it's not
overpowering. So the best way to do it is just to do it after you record, rather than trying to
have it play while you're trying to record. Okay. You know, I've done those movies before,
so I think I can do that. Okay, thank you. And then the other one was on Instagram,
I was trying to set up an account. My ministry is Align With God, and it's taken. And then I
tried to just put in, like, Bob and Denise McKenzie, and then it said that the code expired.
So I just can't. I can't set up my Instagram. I'm just having a hard time.
Okay. For the Instagram account? For your handle. Let me look up.
See what's available. So Align With God was taken.
We did Posture.podcast, because Posture Podcast was taken by a version of Lindsay.
Do you remember? It was an accident when I set it up. Long story. Got it out of that account.
Things happen. Life goes on. Do you know how big that account was that was already,
did you, like, look it up? I mean, let's see if I can look it up.
How many is it? Wait, again, I think. No, I don't know how big it is.
No, she's saying it's already taken. Oh, it's already taken.
Align With God is taken, yeah. I haven't thought about it.
With God. It's not a very big account.
It's, like, 47 people. So you'll have more than 47 in, like, your first week.
I don't see Align With God one word taken, though.
As a, like, slash. Let me see. I'll look it up here as well.
This is on Instagram. I'm sorry. I'm just making sure.
Instagram. Instagram. Yeah. I already have it. Go ahead.
So it doesn't look like there's anything that's this aligned slash aligned with God on here.
It's Align With God. A-L-I-G-N.
Not aligned. This is not yours?
Or is this yours? No.
Okay. So this is one follower. So we'll be fine. I mean, you can say, like, a line,
like, dot, like, you could do something like that. Just put some dots in there.
See, that doesn't exist yet. It's kind of.
But or you could do a line dash, like, with God.
I tried the dashes. They said that was taken. See, that's taken.
But I didn't know you could put it. I didn't know you could put a dot.
Yeah, try that. Do that. Because if an account was taken,
say Align With God was taken, and it had, like, a million followers, I'd say, okay,
let's find something else because we don't want brand confusion. But this account doesn't look
very active that has that handle taken only has, like, one follower. So, like, you're fine.
And so I would just use I would just use looks like it's a new age account, too. So there you go.
So maybe you'll get some speakers on your account. Like, I would maybe align dot with God,
maybe be a good one. And it looks like that one is not taken.
Okay, great. I'm taking. Yeah.
Oh, good. When you do get registered and stuff, just let Landrum know so we can add it to your
dashboard. Since you're now. Yeah. I haven't set up my dashboard yet. I was going to ask you,
do you have to have all the social media set up to set up the dashboard?
No. Yeah. And go ahead and just put in whatever you do have. Like, if you do have a Facebook and
a YouTube for now, just go ahead and start there because that way we can get a baseline of where
you're at when you start. Because we just track it like every Monday we go in and put all the
numbers in. Okay. And so even if it's at, like, a low number, that's totally fine. And then you'll
see when you start to do ads or you do different things, it will we'll see that grow. So.
Okay, that's helpful. And then just one more quick thing. I already have an account on Twitter,
but it's not under line with that. It's under God checks. That was a blog I was doing God chat
a while ago. So can I just use that because it's the similar principle or do I have to set up a
new Twitter account under a line? No. So we don't do a lot on Twitter in here. I am personally a
big Twitter fan. So I'll just tell you.
how to change that. But if you go to, I'm on, what is this? Is this the Innovo one? Yeah.
So profile. And then I think you can hit edit profile. You can just change the name right here.
You can actually just type in like where it says, it'll say God chat. You can change it to,
you know, align with God right there. So we'll, it'll just update. And then that way,
when someone's looking at it up here, where it says Innovo studios right there, I mean,
it would say align with God. I don't think you can change your, your handle, like your username.
So that may still say God chat underneath, but most people will just see this.
And because you have, like, you might already have an audience following you and it's a similar,
like similar content you'll be giving. I would encourage, you know,
keep those followers along for the journey ahead.
Got it. All right. Thank you. Well, I've taken up enough of your time, but that's good.
Awesome. I see Ben's hand and I know TJ's on here.
We had Mary and TJ is up beforehand. Okay. So we will, we'll get to everybody, but
I think let's see, Mary Alice had some questions. You were asking about,
you already have a Facebook page. Shall I use that as my podcast? Posca logo. Okay.
And this is her Facebook page here.
Yeah. So Mary Alice, it's the same content, right? That you're going to be using on your
podcast. Yes. Yeah. So I would go ahead and still use your Facebook page for that as well.
Okay. The life lessons for the heart. Yes. Yeah. Okay.
I have very basic questions. Like, where do I start?
I know I am so overwhelmed. I'm like a statue. I don't do anything. I just,
you know, I want to do this, but I need to do it one step at a time. And probably those
are steps that I've never taken. But if I can learn one step and then another step,
because right now I'm not stepping. You remind me now you, you have been creating content on,
it's been on YouTube and it's been on Facebook and you're wanting to make it on audio podcasts,
right? Yes. And I have written almost 30 more strictly for the podcast, but there they sit.
Yeah. And so you're wanting to do, you've done,
just check that it's all the same content from like, so the, so you wanting the same content
you put on the podcast will also go to your Facebook and also go to YouTube. That would be
good. Yeah. So I would talk to my phone and then somebody would do the editing. And so that's why
the sound sounded good because somebody edited. I watched your video on sound editing.
It was pretty, that was a kind of more advanced. Honestly, the sound from your computer right now
or from your phone without any editing is perfect for what you're doing.
You know, I'd rather be rough than not do anything.
That's the right thing. That's going to be on a t-shirt. Like I'm going to make you a t-shirt.
So it's very easy to like, I would say you you've done the recording part,
so you're needing help on how to upload it because you don't have the person anymore
helping you upload it. Or very, very kind person, but we might not get at it till next week or the
Friday to be able to do that and not, I love them, but they're busy and they're not available.
Mm hmm. I would. So everything you need to record it, use the mic, use the camera
and upload it to you. You can do all of that on your phone. And there is a tutorial somewhere I
can I can link you to it. But it's basically what I wouldn't worry too much about the editing or any
of that. It's just a few taps like you've uploaded video to your Facebook page from your phone,
I think. Yes. But the thing is, if you're on the phone, then they see your nose as you turn
things on and as you reach. Yeah. So you can I would go to your on your phone, go to the cam
like camera, like you're taking a picture and put it into video mode and then pre-record.
record it on your phone.
So don't necessarily have to go live on Facebook.
Yes, I've done that.
So.
I make mine, okay.
Okay.
And then you can edit it
as far as taking the beginning off and the ending,
you can edit, you can trim it.
So Bruce is gonna show you right now on the screen
how to do that.
Okay, I'll bring the notes.
One, let's see if this works.
Okay, there we go.
Can you guys see this?
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
You can still see it?
Oh, no, here.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hang on one minute.
There we go.
Oh.
Oh, I see what's happening.
So this is, we have a new,
doesn't wanna connect.
I don't know why.
Let me see if I can get it working for you guys first.
And just to comment, like Lindsey,
what I do, maybe because I can be doing something else
and God starts talking,
I pick up my phone and I use voice memos
and then I'll go and type them up later.
Yeah.
Yeah, voice memos are great.
So can you guys see this, my phone here?
It looks like a wood floor.
Yes.
Yeah, perfect.
So what I would do is like,
you can flip the camera around here.
So this is very flattering.
And I can say like, hey, this is my video.
I'm going to edit it and then I'm gonna upload it to YouTube.
So I'll stop that.
And then I can tap on the bottom left here
and bring the video up and it will play.
And so you'll see here, like on the bottom right,
there's a thing that says edit next to the trash can.
And so you were saying like that whole beginning piece
where I'm like reaching to touch the phone and all that,
you can actually click and hold on the little arrow here
and I can trim the beginning part.
So it actually only starts,
after I find my way around and hit record
and the same for the ending.
And then you can hit done and hit save video
and that will like edit it now.
So now if I played it back,
it will be the shorter edited version.
And then all you do at that point is go to YouTube
and then what you'll do is hit this big plus, the bottom.
Sorry, the YouTube is gonna be funny with this,
but there's a big plus button at the bottom there.
So I'll hit that, I'll hit upload video.
And then there's my video that I just made.
Hey, this is my video.
I'm going to edit it and I'm uploading it to YouTube.
Hey, this is my video.
So I'll hit next.
I'm going to edit.
Hey, this is my video.
And then I can add stuff if I want or just hit next here
and it will let me just upload it.
I can put a title in and say, you know,
my awesome video here and then hit done.
And then right there, it says like upload
and that will post it directly to Facebook,
I mean to YouTube.
And then what you would do is go over to Facebook
and do the same thing.
So you would go over to your page.
So let's say I was going to post it on,
like the Kingdom Messengers page.
I go to Kingdom Messengers and I can scroll down
and there's a thing that says, actually.
Create post and then it should be up.
Okay, I do a lot.
I'll find that on my computer.
I can go to recents and I'll see the thing
and select that or I can drag it in, right?
You can drag it in.
Yeah, exactly.
So you can do it on your computer
or you can do it on your phone.
I was just showing you, you can do it on both
just as easily.
So.
Wow, thank you.
Okay, and you can go back and watch this.
This was recorded.
So I know I went through it a little fast.
And I can practice.
I can practice editing.
Just talking to myself and practice editing.
Yes, so that's what Lindsay does is she just,
if she messes up or makes a mistake,
she just stops it and starts it again
and just records the whole episode again
from the beginning until it's flawless.
So actually, because I edit her stuff
and it takes me six minutes to edit an episode.
And all I'm doing is like in, out,
adding the intro, hitting export.
It takes very, very fast.
But I'm not going and listening to it even.
I just know that when she says,
hey, here's the finished,
like the version I like the most,
I just put the intro on that and off we go.
So pretty quick.
Again, we could spend time editing
and make it high production.
Like my Tech Tuesday that I do for Kingdom Messengers
takes me way longer.
And it takes me an hour to record it
and then probably an hour and a half or so to edit it
and then put it up.
Because you're clipping it up. We're clipping it. We've got little graphics and music and stuff
happening. So we're trying to make them interesting and fun to watch. So that's the way. But what you
have to do when it's tech content, but when it's biblical content. Yes, that's right.
Just one other like starting point. You talk about intro and I can make one and then that will be
what always plays before you do a podcast. I mean, I would to save you some time with editing,
I would just verbally say an intro. So you could say, hey, today I'm going to be talking about
the love of God. And then you can say, you know, I'm so sorry. What was the name of your
life lessons? Life. So you can say life lessons for the heart is a podcast that helps you bring
you had a good tagline as well. Yeah. Journey to to knowing or to relationally
knowing God. And then you can jump. So that's so what is it like to to talk about the love of God
and you can bring in a scripture or something. So rather than like editing an intro or any of that,
I would just say say the words for the intro as part of your recording.
And that means that subtitle instead of now it's our journey to knowing God from the inside out.
Yeah. Whatever your subtitle is, just saying in the beginning in time, you're most likely
to keep people with you versus going off to like a long intro because you're talking to them and
like they won't even notice it's like an intro, if that makes sense, but you're telling them what
it's all about. Thank you. Thank you. I can do that. Cool. Awesome. And I just want to point
out that you have been doing this already. You're like, I haven't I need a launch or whatever. Like
you've already been doing it. You're doing it. I got plenty of water. I don't know. I've just
been talking for two hours. So here. What do you think? You know, you you set up that beautiful
music to use on a podcast. What do you think of the idea of just like water and bird sounds,
just a background like that, like recording outside in nature? Yeah. Yeah. Our our our
advice is always as long as it's not distracting to overpowering of your voice, because your voice
is the message. So if it's something that's light background, then absolutely. And what we encourage
people to do if they're recording outside is to test record, like just get up and, you know, do
like like, hey, this is Mary Alice and then hit play and listen back to it to make sure like the
wind isn't too loud and the birds aren't too loud. I was thinking of getting those sounds like from
YouTube. Yeah. Very quietly. I'm it's personal preference. It's personal style. So if it's if
you feel like it's part of a good thing for your brand, I have a tendency to feel like when when
you start talking the message and there's background music or any type of sound effects,
I feel like it can be distracting. But some people love it. So you just have to kind of go with what
you want it to be. I prefer the music to fade out when the message starts and then maybe fade back
in as the message ends. But I don't really love it when there's background music playing the entire
time because I feel like it's competing. Yeah. Thank you. Cool. Awesome. And I'll keep it simple.
That's another thing is with this, like the more complex you make each episode, the more work it's
going to be to make each episode and the less likely you are just to do the next one and do
the next one. So just being on your phone, editing it like that and just posting would be
would be the easiest way. Cool. Awesome. Good. Is there anything else you had?
Except a big thank you, guys. I've never met people who are so generous with their time and
heart. You're so sweet. Thank you, Mary Alice. We love hanging out with all of you guys.
Yeah. Next, you know, who's next? Awesome. So we had
probably T.J. and then we can go to Ben. Hey, T.J. What's up?
Hello. Long time no see. State side. Finally. How is that? How's the mood?
We're still in the hotel. We'll be here till December. Wow. Yeah. That's when we'll close
on the house. And so I'm just trying to make things work from here. Where are you? Would you
move back? Northern Virginia. OK, cool. Yeah, gotcha. We launched
sure. Was I know we were in our house, we lost her, we launched
our business when we were in a 600 foot square foot apartment.
So we understand and we were on zoom.
This is like 2019. Yeah, like recently,
so we know the small spaces, but lots of grace can be found in
small spaces. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I think we're in about 500 or so. And there's no doors
that separate us. It's amazing. He's teleworking, and in the in
the living area, and then I'm back here in the bedroom area,
and we're just trying to make it work.
You guys are great. That's just, yeah, we had that for a while.
It was long longer than we thought.
Yeah, it was longer than we thought. But we made it. We'll
be playing you guys as you wait await your house.
Appreciate it. So I have two questions today. One is my
figma. Since I moved back to the US, I haven't gotten it to
work. And I tried some of the advice that you gave me Bruce
by trying to use figma app, and that's not working. And I tried
through Safari. And I think I tried through Google, but it's
it's the top it says, okay, let me share my screen so that
you'll be
Yes.
Where am I? Okay.
Alright, so I think this one is through Google. Yeah. I tried to
open it up on through the app, but then it said I had to open
it up on Google.
Yeah. If you click on the that purple, what happens here? I'm
just curious if you have ownership of that. And this may
very well be something I have to do on my side. And if you just
go to like the share button up here. That blue one right there.
Yeah. Okay, so here it says you can only view and that's the
problem. It's actually something not on your side. It's actually
on our side. So let's just watch. Okay, let me just change
something on our side for you. I think that's all that's
actually needed. And it should just change immediately. Because
right now you're just a viewer and we need you to be the an
editor on it. So give me a second to find it.
Here we go.
Share. Okay. So if you just want to refresh, okay. Let's see,
hopefully that worked and just click the share button again.
Okay, so what you can do because you don't own this one, if you
hit the close button, there's another way to do it.
Exit out of this?
Sorry, just this little x there. And then just up here in the top
where it's a little figma, you can drop down that and just say
file. And I think you can say export here. I think. No, no,
sorry, just hit the close button. We need to download.
That has three of them.
There's an option there that says file, sorry, the top left
there. File and then you can say like, save local copy. This is
just a little step again, you never have to do this. I don't
think anyone is gonna need to do this as well. What happened was
figma changed how they share files. And so it basically we
ended up paying for like a user account for figma just so you
guys could get it. So down here, so if you go to the top left
here now, and just click back to files. And then here, see if you
can click on the top left there, the figma logo. Is there like a
I just want to basically like open a file. Can you drop down
this guy see what's there? Sorry, that would be there. See,
I'm going to mind here so I can make sure I'm telling you. Here
we go. So go to that that top right thing right here. Sorry,
down a little bit. You just click off of this.
And then just right there.
Cool. And then here, it should have like a pop-up where it's asking you to pick.
So if you go back to your downloads, you can go and find the file that we downloaded.
Where did I find that at?
So if you click this like up arrow down bottom left here.
So right there.
Yeah. And there's like a show in finder button.
I'll just tell you where on your Mac it's being stored.
Do you see what that says?
I can't. We can just see your browser.
But that should show you where it is on your computer.
It says there's no application set to open the document.
Yeah, that's fine.
So what you want to do is here, you want to open it in Figma.
So you want to use this like top right button here.
Okay.
There's so many other pop-ups.
All right. Okay.
Circle it again, please.
Yeah. So just top right here.
I'm actually going to see.
I should have done this.
So yeah, let me get my pen back.
It's I just lost my.
Here we go. Let me do this.
I'm going to request this.
Okay. And then there we go.
Cool. So now I'll just I think I can click on this.
Oh, you know what?
Do you mind sharing your whole screen instead of just the browser?
Okay. How do I do that?
Just hit stops sharing.
Okay. And then just go to share again
and just pick like the top left option.
When you hit share, there'll be like an option in the top left.
It's like share your entire desktop.
Okay. So let me go back to share desktop one.
Okay. Awesome.
And then I will request.
I didn't know Zoom allows you to remotely access the computers now.
Other people. That's so cool.
Yeah. It is pretty cool.
Except I think, sorry, it's like I'm not gonna let me,
but this is good. This is helpful.
Let me just go back to try on your screen.
So if you can go, I think it's in your downloads folder here
to let you click into that.
I think she has to.
That's okay.
The downloads right there, I think is where it is.
Oh, sorry. You're in the, we're in the wrong thing.
Hit cancel there.
This is all the wrong thing.
Let's go back here.
Just click on this top right one.
Does that not open anything?
That's annoying.
That's what we need to hit to open it.
Okay.
Did you want me to try 3Safari?
I didn't like drag this like into that.
I don't even know if that'll work, but.
Drag it into which?
Just drag it like and put it over here somewhere.
Just see what it does if you drop it there.
There we go.
That's all we have to do.
Sometimes the easiest solution.
Okay. So that will just import.
And then when you open this version,
it will let you edit and do whatever you want to to it.
Just gonna be like downloaded it and we upload it again.
It'll take a minute, but you should be all set then.
Okay. And then my second question is.
Natalie. Oh, I can stop sharing probably.
Let me stop sharing.
So Natalie from Canada sent me a message yesterday.
Saying that my sound.
She had her volume all the way up listening to it on YouTube.
And she was barely able to hear even through her headphones.
And so she was so sweet.
She was willing to pay $50 towards me getting a new mic.
How great is that?
That's awesome.
I checked it on all my devices,
even my husband device and the sound was good.
And so any who I told her, I said, I'll just check into it.
And so I listened to the YouTube on my speaker through my car.
And so when there's a pause and it goes to an ad,
the ad was way louder than the volume that was on my video.
And then when it went to a different video, again, the video,
the next video, which wasn't mine, again, the volume was way.
outer than mine, and I don't understand.
So I can pull up.
I'm going to, I've got actually got your account here.
Look at that, 102, breaking through that a hundred barrier.
It's awesome.
Which one, the second?
Yeah, I just, yeah, that one.
Let me listen to it.
Welcome to a journey of discovery.
My name is TJ and I,
I mean,
it was a beautiful.
Are you feeling this on your iPhone?
No, I actually, that's,
I actually recorded that before I left Germany,
but I didn't think it was good enough.
So I didn't post it.
So that, oh no, no, that is on my iPhone.
Yeah, that's all I need is my iPhone.
I was going to say, it looks really sharp.
It just, it looks, look, the quality looks great.
I mean, honestly, the sound sounds good to me.
I don't, it doesn't sound too soft.
I'm at like 70% here on my computer.
And I mean, it's not too soft.
There's always things you can do to make it louder.
If, what are you, are you using Premiere or DaVinci
or what are you using?
I'm using Premiere Pro, so.
Okay, so play it, Bruce, on yours again.
My heart had gotten hearted.
Oh, you know what?
I don't know what it looks like in the future.
No, it's still not too bad.
To go and talk to this perfect.
Okay, now play some other random video,
keeping the volume controls at the same level.
Not one of mine though.
Yeah, I don't know what this is.
If you'll take out your message, you know.
Yeah, it's definitely louder.
Yeah.
So it could definitely be boosted.
So I would, one, you can just raise the level.
The other thing you can do in Premiere
is you can click into, right click on something.
So let me try and open it real quick.
Do you want me to share my Premiere?
I have it open.
Oh yeah, you could do that.
Okay.
I'll stop this.
Let's see.
Zoom.
Share screen.
Cool, yeah.
So that's a horrible screen freeze.
Always the worst.
So if you scroll down,
somewhere in here is gonna be your audio.
Oh yeah, hang on.
Is it like in a layer?
Or am I at?
Oh, that's audio three.
Okay, there we go.
Okay, there's audio.
So one, so this is, looks like already pretty low.
So you can click on that bar and just bring it right up.
It's like dragging it.
Because I thought, before I do that, Bruce,
I thought that if I had the sound,
because I know I had that sound meter there.
Let me just play it.
I thought if it.
Well, it'd be 38.
Oh.
Yeah, it's not.
It didn't.
Yeah, that is low.
It's not crazy.
That's actually not as.
So one thing you can do is,
just drag that up and see where, what is it on?
So I would maybe put it like plus six or something or.
Six.
Yeah, just see there.
You can play that and see.
I've asked you this before.
So I would actually keep going,
maybe make it like 10.
And basically what you're looking for
is the place where you play it.
And you can kind of see the loudest parts,
like this loud part right there.
And what you wanna make sure is that when it's playing,
it doesn't actually hit these like,
it'll go red up here, right?
It'll go red up here,
which means it's actually distorting now.
Okay.
And you definitely don't want distortion.
So you wanna basically make it as loud as you can be
without distorting.
Okay.
There was a training we did for like advanced audio settings
in Premiere that we use for how Lindsay does it.
I don't, I can't tell you off the top of my head
where that is,
but there are some filters and things you can do
to make it much more punchy sounding.
But in the meantime,
you can, I would even raise it like maybe to 10
and just see how that plays.
I think it's at 10 right now.
Hang on.
Yeah, so just try this like,
like put it like right here and hit play.
Yeah.
And I felt like one of those people.
There you go.
So even at that, you were hitting negative six.
Okay.
Which is perfect.
So you're well within margin.
And I remember as I watched that scene,
so look for the highest peak
and then try to base the sound off of that
to get it into that level.
Right.
Yeah.
But here's the other thing.
So then that's the one part of it.
The other thing is like,
see how it's kind of loud here
and then it gets really soft down over here.
You could be, what typically happens is like,
I'm talking, I'm talking.
And then I like sit back,
maybe not quite that much,
but you sit back and then you like come closer
to the camera or the mic.
So that could be that,
because look at like how loud this is
and then how soft that is.
Let me put it over there and see,
just see what I'm doing over there then.
Oh, I'm still in the same spot.
Yeah.
It could just be also, I mean, some of it's going to, you're going to naturally,
we all talk loud and then, you know, we kind of come down quiet and then we'd
get excited, so that's not a problem, but I was looking at, you know, are you
sitting back or you, did you move to the side and sometimes like people turn to
look at something or they turn over there and it's, the mic kind of loses the, um,
volume there.
So again, always just bring the mic as close as you possibly can.
Are you still using the road?
Yeah.
Okay.
And so you could, how close is that like right above your head?
It is.
Um, it could be closer, but I didn't have a, a studio boom mic, um, at that time.
There's like, um, there's a little like $12 desk mount.
Did you look at that?
I don't, I don't think I did.
I think at that time I was just using the studio.
I mean, this regular one.
Um, but now I sold all of that over there so that I can get
what I really need this time.
Gotcha.
So, but you still have the road mic or are you wanting to look at something else?
I have, yeah, I have the road NTG and I have the, the, the
little portable, the small one.
Level one.
Okay.
Yeah.
That little portable one should be good.
And I was just going to, um, uh, find, show you this was the one we got.
And it's just very good value for money.
Um, I will, oops.
Um, share, um, so like something like this, it's $13 and, um, basically
this will like clamp to your desk.
So if you just, if you're sitting at a desk, you can kind
of put it off to the side.
And then this arm, um, will reach pretty high up.
Um, and you can kind of have it like above your head and
sort of put it where you want it.
So we use that on ours and you can kind of just push it back or pull it
forward and it folds really flat.
So you could, you know, it's pretty easy to move and stuff.
Um, but that would be great.
And you can put the little road mic in the top of that.
That'll fit great in there.
Okay.
Sounds good.
I'll look into that.
I'll just drop the link for this so you can get to it easily.
Um, I'll put that in real quick.
Cool.
Awesome.
So you're going to see you've pre-recorded some, you're just
editing them and posting them now.
Um, that was the only one I had.
I'm just trying to find my rhythm over here now.
And, um, wanting to maybe make some changes as to who my audience is and
trying to navigate that right now and trying to record when I can.
And I don't know, just take it one step at a time.
I'm able to still consistently post as far as graphics go.
It's just as far as for the video.
Um, yeah, I haven't been doing that and I don't think that me waiting until we
get into the house is an option to, but to just do it where I can and post where
I can and as the spirit leads.
Yeah, absolutely.
Um, I think, uh, yeah, I think that's, that's good.
I'm just trying to think like, um, short term.
Yeah.
I was going to say like, I know that you have a lot of full episodes that you
worked on before you moved over here.
And something that we have been doing with posture is taking my full episodes
and putting them into shorts.
Mm hmm.
Um, and that's been nice because I've been actually, we've had stuff to post
kind of even every day, even though I'm just doing a weekly episode, it's a great
way to kind of, uh, unearth again, all of those episodes you poured a lot of time
into, and you might want to do that.
Look at those older episodes and start to clip them into shorter segments, like
for reels for YouTube shorts, and you'll be having some video content running.
And I see you've like, um, Corona, you know, almost at a hundred and TikTok.
And if you posted those on TikTok, YouTube shorts and Instagram reels, it's
the same clip, same video clip.
Um, and you could actually edit those in premiere.
So you already, you already know that it wouldn't be a lot of new things to learn.
It's just kind of a different format.
So you'd have to put in an episode and then try and find like a good
minute or so of content.
Um, it will be like a portrait thing.
So there's a, there's a way you can set premiere up for that, but, um, basically
that's, that's all you would be doing is clipping the longer episodes and then
you could even do like a daily, you know, one minute daily video that will do
wonders for YouTube channel and TikTok.
Um, you'll, you'll get, you'll do really well with, um, just being consistent,
like even every day, just having something go out and you can schedule it and all
that, but I think a part.
I think a part of it is me because I'm so used to having my own separate area where I can do it, and nobody's there but it's so weird to have my husband listening to me.
And so I guess I have to get over that insecurity maybe or embarrassment I don't know, it's just like to do it in private was one thing but to do it while he's there not that he met that not that he you know even.
I don't think it bothers him or anything I think it's just more me and.
Yeah, it's definitely a mental block because you're just sometimes you're reshooting like I can't do a posture if I'm in the room.
And I'll be like no listen and if like I, you know, yeah, like no I can't do it, but it can be done. But even in the interim, you know if you're like hey I'm just not in a space where I feel like I can record something new.
Like, there's so much gold and treasure that you've already recorded and so that's why I just want to encourage you like, don't wait for that mental block to leave I mean there isn't there is a point of like hey let's punch here in the face and hit
record.
You're in transition and there's a lot you're just probably doing logistically like getting that house closed. Yeah, so just want to encourage you like there's a lot that you've already poured into and you can still utilize that content.
My, here's some, here's an idea for you. I'll pick up your phone, and you can go where you are you go for a walk somewhere, and just hold the phone if you want to you can use the like little Apple AirPods or whatever, it's got a little mic on it, so you can use
Or you don't even need that really, and just go sit somewhere nice where there's like a backdrop and that way you're by yourself, and then just do your phone and just do like a 60 second, something like, and you don't have to create new content just go back to your old content
and just pick out an idea and try and summarize it a minute or so. And then just post that as you're directly from your phone like to Instagram reels to TikTok to YouTube shorts.
And you can do all that so it's very quick and you could go and like walk around and record like, you know, five or six of those just back to back and then go back on your phone and just sit there and like upload and schedule it and like do it from your
phone, because there's not a lot of editing I wouldn't even actually worry about it.
Like, Isaac who does all of Lindsay stuff they just take her finished episodes and they just pull it up on their phone and they just edit it down to 60 seconds just by like finding a good one minute from there so it's just trying different formats.
So, and I would say you can, the good thing about this is you can kind of exercise this creative muscle, while you're in this mode and then when you go back to doing like studio like me presenting longer form content, you can still do both like you can
do the longer form and then you can also practice doing the short form so you can still keep growing and still keep growing your audience as well, and practicing, so you won't lose any time, all I'm saying, you have to wait to, you know, and I, and that's good.
I like how you phrase that to practice, you know, strengthening another muscle because my shorts muscle isn't that strong.
It's definitely and I need to get over this block that oh they seen this content already. They don't want to see it again.
But you guys have proven that to be false. So, even if you just look at your trajectory I mean you had less than 100 people when you started. So if you posted an episode in that first week or two and you launched.
You had less than 100 people that saw it but now you've got whatever 4000 something people watching. So, those people don't know there was an episode, three months ago that you posted it, they're not going back and watching old content.
So, like, I would argue you could literally post the same video again but you don't necessarily have to do that but you can just edit it, put a concept together you can take one, because some of your videos are longer so you could take multiple like clips from that
four days worth of content, just from one episode that you've created.
Most of the time it's that you once you've been doing this for a little bit it's not that you need to go out and record more content is that you have so much content, you just need to sit and like, edit it and get, you know, package it out there so yeah repetition,
like just, I, you know, even if you think about like a church or sermon series there they don't just teach on a topic once and then stop like they try to do like teach up the hill and teach people also think about some of the teachings and sermons that I really
blessed you I'm sure you listened to it more than once. Yeah.
So like, I never mind when like an old clip of a sermon that I really enjoyed like pops back up and like oh I needed that reminder today or. Yeah.
Thank you so much. It's great seeing you guys again, you still meet like once a week. Yes.
more. So Tuesdays at 2pm, which is now, and then Thursdays at 7pm Eastern.
Tuesdays at 2pm, like now? Yes, so now till 3pm Eastern, and then on Thursdays from 7 to 8pm.
It's in the event. It's in the event. Are those only the hot seats or is that the actual where
we come in once a week for training? So it's, we're just doing the open coaching now, and there's
like, so there's every now and again we will do like a master class in there, but we're giving a
lot more time just for Q&A and back and coaching stuff. Because we have that library of the
membership site. Yeah, okay. If you go to that kingdommessenger.group, password is kingdom,
you can go in there, and there's a 90-day roadmap, so we try to organize all of our
master classes into that. So there's like days like 60 through 90, or weeks 9 through 12,
whatever that is, is all about shorts and all about TikTok and Instagram. So that way you can
kind of go back to that. You can sort of watch some of those videos when you're ready for it.
Cool. All righty, thank you. Good to see you again. Come back soon. Awesome, and I know Ben,
you're so patient. Yeah, awesome. We'll go for it. We can go a little. Oh no, no problem.
Hey, great to see you, Lindsay. You did just such a great job last week. It was so fun seeing your
face, Ben. Yeah, it was. It was really fun. Speaking to messengers, there's people that came
up to us that we had never met. Oh, really? They were like, thank you so much for helping launch
my podcast and, you know, helping me over the weekend. And we're like, cool, like, what's your
name? It was so great. Yeah, it would have been so nice to see you there in person, but right now
that's challenging. I know. Okay, so I have a question. I don't know if we have time for that
today, but it's not a big of a deal. I'm just wondering, you know, if you have some teaching
or you can direct me to something where I have a landing page on ClickFunnels where people sign up
for something on a webinar that my wife is doing. And after the webinar, if they want to continue
with her on your program, right, on their coaching program, would you then use, again, ClickFunnels
for the registration or would you like use Infusionsoft and then from there direct them to
the kingdom, to the tribe social portal? Do you have kind of a workflow of what are the tools,
you know, and that stuff? Because I'm a little bit lost there, honestly. Yeah, it is confusing.
There's honestly not one way to set any of this stuff up. There's so many different ways you can
set it up. And so, I can show you how we do like the challenge. Let me pull this up real quick.
My advice is to keep it simple, always. Yeah, that's what I want to do. I literally create like
one funnel, one like mega funnel. So, and I'll share this with you here. You guys can see kind
of behind the scenes. So, we have, this would be the first page people land on. So, this is like
we run ads to this page, people opt in to come into the workshop. And then,
and this would be like this page. It's like the main sales page. There's a video you email in.
Then there's an order form that they go through. And so, that's where they put their credit card
in. And so, you guys, if you're doing a free one, it's just an email address and then here,
watch the webinar. And then, if you keep scrolling down, we have like the KMM app. So,
when people are like, okay, I want to continue on and we want to do membership, it's all just
part of the same funnel. And the way I do that is I just click on this little gear here and we create
like slash membership. So, if you go to like kingdom, sorry, it's KMW like that and it's slash
membership, then this is now like join the Kingdom Messenger family. And so, this is sort of
that offer to continue on with us. And so, I do it all in the same funnels, the short version.
And then, this has a thank you page and so forth. So, it just keeps going. The cool thing about
this is you can go to the stats and you can see all the numbers like, okay, we had 100 people
come into this, then like 25 people did this and then six people bought. And you can kind of see
all your stats in one place, which is nice. And then, you can use like, there's an integration
between ClickFunnels and you're using Infusionsoft? Well, that's how I was planning. I got a very good
deal through a friend of mine where pricing and the users are so very, very good. I'm not sure
what your opinion is of that. It's not Infusionsoft anymore. It's Keep.
Keep, yeah, something. They're great. I know a lot of, I know Pedro uses
they look like their entire stuff's on that.
I've just never used Infusionsoft.
We just use ActiveCampaign.
And I think their lowest price campaign account
is like $15 a month on ActiveCampaign.
So it starts really low, which is nice.
And you can kind of scale as you build your list.
But there's links between those things.
And when people opt into a certain step,
you can have it do an integration
where it will just update that person's info on there.
So when someone does purchase a product or something,
I'll go into this if I hit Edit the page.
And if everybody's like, what on earth is ClickFunnels?
Watching this, there's a whole training on it.
It's a great tool for capturing leads,
and especially if you're trying to sell a course or a book
or something.
But if I go to this Integrations tab,
you can actually choose ActiveCampaign.
So there's my Enovo ActiveCampaign account.
And I can tell it, add to list with a tag.
And I can say, hey, put this person's email list
on the Kingdom Messenger list.
And also add a tag that says something that I can reference.
And then that way, I can trigger emails and stuff.
You can do the same thing with Infusionsoft in here.
But I have not done that personally.
So I won't try to pretend like I can teach you how to do that.
But ActiveCampaign's been great.
I know Graham Cook uses ClickFunnels and ActiveCampaign
all together in Shopify.
They work really well.
I try to pick the right tool for the job.
And Infusionsoft seems pretty extensive
for when you just needed to do something pretty small.
So just what I would do is register trial accounts on both
and see which one feels better and feels easier to use.
But your recommendation would be to do as much as possible
within the ClickFunnels account and just the mailing
then through Infusionsoft or ActiveCampaign
or whatever, right?
Because for the mailing, I'm really
not happy with the ClickFunnels internal solution they have.
I don't love that either.
Yeah, I would do, my thing is I would use ActiveCampaign
for your CRM.
And then I would just send the emails through that as well.
You can send emails through Infusionsoft as well.
I would just try to limit the number of platforms, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
Don't try to break it into too much.
But yeah, I can tell you the same thing.
We don't like ClickFunnels internal email stuff either.
We use ActiveCampaign for that.
Yeah.
Would you be willing to share that funnel or a copy of it?
I just sort of structure what you did.
It's actually already shared.
I'll get the link.
I need to dig it out of.
It's just if you feel comfortable about it, right?
I actually made one for you.
I think I showed it to the last 90-day group.
But it's in the coaching group somewhere.
Oh, OK.
OK, so I can look it up there.
I'll need to dig it out.
If you can't find it, just post something into the group.
I'll tag it, comment on it or something.
But yeah, we did give that away.
I think I created a simplified version
that you guys could copy.
OK, thank you.
If I can have another question, one last one.
OK.
Go for it, yeah.
And how would I then lead people to my Drive social platform?
How does this integrate now with this whole system?
Or would you recommend getting started
within the ClickFunnels platform only,
having their member site?
You would rather go with yours, right?
For a small, simple course, I would definitely
use ClickFunnels.
If you're just going to have like six lessons or 10 lessons,
something small, I would just use ClickFunnels membership
site is actually not bad.
And then what you can do is just also put your content
into Tribe.
To me, that's more of like the backup.
And you can slowly start archiving stuff there.
But I will tell you, since you're in the process here,
probably by the time you're ready to go live,
we will have an integration soon where
you can upload a video to Tribe and then get an embed code
and then paste that embed code into the ClickFunnels
membership site.
So technically, if your videos are hosted on Tribe,
then I can put them anywhere I want.
Put on a WordPress site, Squarespace site, anything.
That's coming soon.
And you'll be able to.
And then all the decentralized security stuff
we just released will be on all those platforms.
But ClickFunnels is great because it
does have a very seamless user experience where
you pay for something or you sign up.
And then the next step right there
is to just create a password.
And then you hit Next.
And then you're right into the content.
So it's definitely, again, simplifying it.
But then what you can do is use Tribe
to host all those videos out there.
Yeah, thank you.
I'll probably have more questions as I go.
go, but I thought I should have a little couple of minutes to share that.
Yeah, thank you, Chloe.
Yeah, just and just post a question in the group.
If you get stuck on any of that, happy to help.
Yeah. Thank you.
Cool. Awesome, guys.
Well, good to see you all.
We're traveling.
And so we're it feels like we get to hang out with our family while we're away.
So this is great.
I'll make a note in the group.
We're actually not going to be doing a training on Thursday.
So we either will do it Friday morning or we'll just go to the next Tuesday
because we actually are traveling again.
We'll be on a plane at that time.
So we'll we'll catch up with you guys soon, though.
We're excited to keep going.
So thank you.
Bye, guys. Enjoy your time.
