1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.880
that's not the point. So I'm, I'm excited, because I was just

2
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:09.800
kind of stuck in that, you know, it's down deep, kind of a lie

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:10.640
there thing.

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.760
I think for every creator, there's always that imposter

5
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.240
syndrome, where we're just like, am I really supposed to be doing

6
00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:22.960
that? And I feel like it just doesn't really go away. It's not

7
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.240
like, oh, well, when I pass 10,000 followers, then I'll take

8
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:30.840
myself seriously. Like, it seems very much relative to where

9
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:32.400
you're at. So awesome.

10
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.960
I have a tag on to last night. And so I really, usually I'm not

11
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.800
quiet during the meetings, but I was last night. And of course, I

12
00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:49.480
was just being ministered to by everything that was, was being

13
00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:56.000
said and what's going on. But I have been walking through, like,

14
00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:59.680
both kind of hit within days of each other, some health

15
00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:07.080
challenges over the last week to 10 days, and, and just feeling a

16
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:12.160
lot of pushback from what feels like, you know, like, pushback

17
00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:18.640
from the enemy. And so I mean, it was like, just everybody that

18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.280
spoke last night spoke into that. And I was expectant. And

19
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.680
one thing that Lindsay said, you know, when your moment comes,

20
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:31.000
that moment of clarity, when God, you know, just shows up out

21
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:36.120
of nowhere, like he did in with the dog and the balloons in

22
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.200
Hannah, which, by the way, when I was going to sleep last night,

23
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:44.960
I just left out loud, just really enjoying that all the

24
00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:49.800
moments, all the funny moments of last night. But I woke up in

25
00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:57.800
the night. And, and it's hard to not, I'm like, I am really

26
00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:01.800
practicing not thinking on what's going on with my body

27
00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:08.479
right now. And I was settling in, you know, returning my

28
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.720
thoughts to Jesus, and the Lord, he said, I have a question for

29
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:19.240
you. And I was like, Okay, he said, what, how would you feel

30
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.800
if the devil could no longer influence you by his tactics?

31
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:38.680
And I was like, really good. I mean, like, I would, like, be

32
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:46.560
able to receive, like, what you have for me in this, or at least

33
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.360
in one of them, one of the things the other one, I think

34
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.080
not, it's not even on my radar right now. But anyway, but then

35
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.560
he said, How would you feel if the devil was not a part of the

36
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.040
equation for you? I was like, I see where you're going with

37
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:13.840
this. And he said, You have my permission to remove him from

38
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.360
the equation. And what you said, Mary, last night, you know, just

39
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.360
about the fire and not being burned. I mean, what everybody

40
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:26.840
said, and, and I, and he said, You're going to get to practice

41
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:32.440
this and, and, and like, occupy this territory, because it's

42
00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:39.000
going to take you into a deeper level of rest. And that is my

43
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.160
anointing on you. I think it's his anointing on all of us, you

44
00:03:43.160 --> 00:03:49.240
know, layers and, and deeper places of rest. And so anyway,

45
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.640
that's a it's a win. It's a it's a big win for me.

46
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.720
Awesome. Praise God. That's so cool. So good to hear that.

47
00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:02.640
Yeah. And when you once that perspective shifts and changes,

48
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.400
it's almost like, how did I even believe this in the first

49
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.640
place? Like, this is like my new identity. This is my new

50
00:04:07.640 --> 00:04:11.120
reality. Start walking into that. So that's super exciting.

51
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:12.280
Glad to hear that.

52
00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:16.640
I've also been going through the same kind of thing as Amy, with

53
00:04:16.640 --> 00:04:17.680
my blood pressure.

54
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.480
That's what my news to Marion.

55
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.960
I was being attacked by fear to the point was, I can't put that

56
00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:28.520
cuff on all my blood pressure will go sky high.

57
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.160
I wanted to call you by Marion, because

58
00:04:33.960 --> 00:04:38.400
so this is where God gave me that dream with the car. And

59
00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:44.120
it's like, anyway, you know what he's been teaching me this week.

60
00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:49.160
Sunday, I was in spiritual warfare to get rid of fear. And

61
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.960
it worked. I got rid of it. No more fear in my stomach area.

62
00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:59.560
Now today, I'm still getting the blood pressure rise, right?

63
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.200
Today, I'm just realizing I can shut that off.

64
00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:08.600
It starts, no, and it stops.

65
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.960
So there's a spiritual influence here,

66
00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:14.280
and I believe it is partly spiritual.

67
00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:18.400
God has told me that you need to be able to leave

68
00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:21.520
this behind to go into the next season

69
00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:26.040
because it will stop me from doing things that I should be doing.

70
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:32.600
And I believe that my blood pressure is totally fear-based.

71
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:37.480
It's really not regular daily life.

72
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:41.440
And so what you're saying, you know, that really helps me

73
00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:45.880
because Satan, I had a dream with three different things.

74
00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:48.440
I was fighting, looked like people,

75
00:05:48.440 --> 00:05:51.720
but no matter what I stabbed them with, it didn't work.

76
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.200
And now it's like, this is the second one.

77
00:05:55.200 --> 00:05:59.080
And there's areas where it's just shutting out

78
00:05:59.080 --> 00:06:01.880
that influence when it starts to happen

79
00:06:01.880 --> 00:06:06.920
because there's a reaction inside that's like fear,

80
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.440
and then, you know, everything goes up.

81
00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:15.600
So thank you for sharing, Amy, because that helps me too.

82
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.640
You're welcome.

83
00:06:16.640 --> 00:06:20.000
You know, I just, I feel like this is,

84
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.480
because one of the things that we talked about last Monday night,

85
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.440
but also we've talked about it in these strategies,

86
00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:31.120
is we're led by the spirit.

87
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.160
And I think that there is like a memory,

88
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.320
sort of like the mind needing to be renewed,

89
00:06:39.320 --> 00:06:46.880
but our bodies that have reacted this way in fear to something.

90
00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:50.240
And Mary, you and I just happened to share in the same area,

91
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.320
have, you know, kind of traveled that area.

92
00:06:53.320 --> 00:06:56.560
But it's like, I felt like the Lord told me,

93
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.640
like, you're writing a new record.

94
00:06:58.640 --> 00:07:01.080
I'm writing a new record in your body,

95
00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:04.760
just like, you know, the restored record

96
00:07:04.760 --> 00:07:07.480
to the mind of Christ in your mind.

97
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:12.160
And so when I had to put that cup on this morning,

98
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.680
I was like, okay, Jesus, we're writing a new record.

99
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.000
And then when I had to lay down because I had a headache,

100
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.640
and I thought, I'm not gonna take it right now,

101
00:07:21.640 --> 00:07:23.040
but laid down for a little while,

102
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.760
I was like, okay, Jesus, we're writing a new record.

103
00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:28.440
And because I know we are,

104
00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:31.400
I'm just gonna exactly ditto what you said.

105
00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:36.040
And like, there are things that we fear would shut me down

106
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:42.480
if I don't deal with this and get it put in its place.

107
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.840
Yeah, but you know, Amy,

108
00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:47.280
I know that we're gonna come into that place

109
00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:48.520
where we're free of this.

110
00:07:48.520 --> 00:07:51.720
There will be such a joy and such a freedom.

111
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.680
It's gonna be wonderful.

112
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.080
Yes, amen, amen, amen.

113
00:07:55.080 --> 00:07:57.120
It's worth the journey.

114
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.400
It is, it is.

115
00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:03.720
It's that, Xavier, what you said, you know, the how.

116
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.760
Like, I was like, okay, the how is worth the how.

117
00:08:07.760 --> 00:08:10.160
Whatever it is, it's worth the how.

118
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.880
And then I get to thinking that,

119
00:08:18.440 --> 00:08:21.760
what if this is all about us just getting closer

120
00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:23.240
and closer to the Lord,

121
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.240
and this is an important experience?

122
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.600
How else do we get closer except by experiences?

123
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.360
And we have these, you know,

124
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.120
perfectly hand-tooled experiences that push our buttons,

125
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.080
the buttons that God wants to heal.

126
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:40.919
Yeah.

127
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:45.000
I feel like, Susie, this whole thing is set up by God.

128
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:45.840
Oh, yeah.

129
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.080
To trigger those things within us

130
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:48.680
that He wants to deal with.

131
00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:50.240
And that is so,

132
00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:55.440
it's so comforting to know that He set it up

133
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:56.480
for us to go through.

134
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.080
It's like, this is the test,

135
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.320
but He's already planned what the answer is gonna be,

136
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.520
what the final destination is.

137
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.320
Right.

138
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.000
What the Lord has taught me about this, too,

139
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.320
in some of my own healing,

140
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.480
is that everything with Him is a go and experience moment.

141
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.840
After we know the Word, He tells it,

142
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.400
and then we go and experience it.

143
00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:21.080
That's our practicing.

144
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:22.840
But everything He told me,

145
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.200
and take it to Him, of course, and purify,

146
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.160
but everything about my life, every day,

147
00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:32.320
is about building trust between my body and Holy Spirit,

148
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.960
because they don't match, only but through my mind.

149
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.280
And so, every day, I'm very aware of everything I say.

150
00:09:39.280 --> 00:09:44.280
Everything I say, my body, little Bobby, is listening.

151
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.440
And so, it just helps me.

152
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:51.480
I just had surgery a few weeks ago,

153
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:55.400
and every day, it was just about talking

154
00:09:55.400 --> 00:09:57.320
about what the Lord says.

155
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.720
And I never even would really say the words.

156
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.880
Bobby was listening. And sure enough, little Bobby's fine. And

157
00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:09.820
she came out of it fine. But I know it was how I you know, he

158
00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:13.320
said, treat your body as though it's a child. And there's just

159
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.840
some things we're not going to say in front of a child, right?

160
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.080
Because you scare the crap out of them. And then that's what

161
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.120
they become a little scared piece of crap. And I hate to

162
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.200
say it that way. But so anyway, so it's trust building. And

163
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.480
Jesus loves trust building time, you know, because that's who we

164
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.640
really are. The only thing that can stop flow of Holy Spirit up

165
00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:37.440
and out of us is little old us, the self of us. So anyways,

166
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.320
that's enough. But great job, everyone.

167
00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:44.240
Yeah, thanks for sharing. That's so encouraging. Well, I love

168
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:49.200
that we've just what's crazy to think is just like, even a few

169
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:53.200
months ago for some people or even last year, like, none of us

170
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:57.040
all knew each other. Right? I knew I knew Bridget, my mom.

171
00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:03.280
That's about it. But, you know, just like, just, I know, like

172
00:11:03.280 --> 00:11:06.720
Marcella, for example, I think you're one of the first people

173
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.760
to join back in January, and others and stuff. And it was

174
00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:13.760
just crazy that, you know, the Lord has connected us in some

175
00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:17.080
way with Lindsay and I and kind of what we're doing here, just

176
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.640
even to each other. I think there's such a cool connection

177
00:11:19.640 --> 00:11:23.400
here. And it's definitely it's for such a time as this, as we

178
00:11:23.400 --> 00:11:26.560
say, like, whatever we're all going through, like the Lord had

179
00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:30.760
this in mind. He had this community in mind. And he had,

180
00:11:31.400 --> 00:11:34.240
you know, each of you have like being connected with each other

181
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.560
and encouraging each other and all that. So it's very exciting

182
00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:41.280
to see all that. And what we're really excited about is like, we

183
00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:45.040
feel like we started our tribe, our team messenger, and we're

184
00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:48.720
super excited to see you guys launching and getting your own

185
00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:52.120
who and and start to do this type of thing. And you have no

186
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.800
idea, like, we're doing this, like we're doing kingdom

187
00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:57.920
messengers, because we were someone else's who like, right,

188
00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:00.960
like, we joined into 100x. And we learned about challenges. And

189
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.880
we learned about movements and like, and how I wouldn't even

190
00:12:03.880 --> 00:12:07.000
know any of this existed. And so it's just like a kingdom

191
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.920
multiplication effect. So it's such a cool thing to be part of.

192
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.280
And Lindsay and I are just we're talking yesterday about how

193
00:12:14.520 --> 00:12:17.400
honored we are to just be able to serve you guys and to hang

194
00:12:17.400 --> 00:12:21.640
out and see you guys, you know, every a couple times every week.

195
00:12:21.640 --> 00:12:29.000
So awesome. Well, this is going to be just a we have, you know,

196
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.120
this is week eight. And so we're going through just kind of

197
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:37.800
wrapping up this intensive end of September. We have it's been

198
00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:41.040
an awesome eight weeks. I think we've got grown significantly. I

199
00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:45.600
think we were I think the number I'll go check it as well. But I

200
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.480
think we've we've grown by almost 80 or 90,000 followers as

201
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.920
as a community. In the last eight weeks, it's kind of

202
00:12:53.920 --> 00:12:58.560
staggering. But I think we were at 280 or 290. And we've we've

203
00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:02.240
just had everybody join and everybody's been growing. And I

204
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.400
know Milton's not on here. But if you guys didn't see Milton's

205
00:13:05.400 --> 00:13:08.960
post last night, that should really, really encourage

206
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:13.720
everyone. I want to pull it up real quick here. I actually

207
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:20.120
pulled up his account. So he has this one post that he did, like

208
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:26.600
two days ago. And I think the number is that before this week,

209
00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:30.840
like I think he had, I know, was around about 100, maybe 70

210
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.520
followers. And so he had this one post go viral. And it's

211
00:13:35.520 --> 00:13:37.960
pretty, it's pretty funny. He says, like, I know why we're all

212
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.960
so stressed, because we stopped listening. And he like played

213
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.160
the hymn. And then he comes back at the end. He's like, don't you

214
00:13:45.160 --> 00:13:50.320
feel better? It was just like, so fun and so simple. And I

215
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.040
just wanted to highlight that. And so but just this one post, I

216
00:13:53.040 --> 00:13:56.440
think this may be a record of everybody in Kingdom. I don't

217
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.960
think anyone's hit over 200,000 that way. So super, super cool.

218
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.040
And Milton, if you're watching the replay, congrats, man, that

219
00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:08.040
was awesome. Very creative, really fun. Little, little

220
00:14:08.040 --> 00:14:12.840
TikTok. And I and his account, like, you know, blew up from I

221
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:17.880
don't know, 3500 more people than was there before. So very,

222
00:14:17.880 --> 00:14:21.360
very cool. But I just wanted to show this as well as hopefully

223
00:14:21.760 --> 00:14:25.200
give some encouragement is that you can just with one post can

224
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:29.560
actually add 1000s of people literally. That's how TikTok

225
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.120
works. I mean, all of your growth is typically coming

226
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:38.480
directly from just a handful of posts. And so but to go in, you

227
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.440
can't just post these, you know, every time you post, it's going

228
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.080
to be a viral hit. As you know, like Milton's been like, look

229
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.600
how many posts he's made, you know, and you guys have done the

230
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.840
same, like you're just posting a couple times a week, every day.

231
00:14:51.160 --> 00:14:55.000
And, you know, but then you just try different things. Like you

232
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.320
try different things to get to see what works with the

233
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.040
algorithm, what people respond to.

234
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.000
What do people actually watch all the way through the end?

235
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.520
And that just comes by repetition.

236
00:15:05.520 --> 00:15:10.360
So hopefully in these kind of in this intensive, we're just kind of built some new habits of

237
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:15.840
being intentional and being kind of changing that identity to being someone who creates

238
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:17.780
and posts often.

239
00:15:17.780 --> 00:15:22.480
If you're just if you're posting every, you know, every day or a couple times a week,

240
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:27.940
you're just in that habit of posting and you, you know, again, helps you change your identity

241
00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:29.880
as being a creator.

242
00:15:29.880 --> 00:15:32.300
And not just someone who's consuming online.

243
00:15:32.300 --> 00:15:35.660
So just be encouraged, like, keep experimenting with stuff.

244
00:15:35.660 --> 00:15:36.660
Keep trying stuff.

245
00:15:36.660 --> 00:15:42.140
I know we've been encouraging you guys like do shorter posts do, you know, different style,

246
00:15:42.140 --> 00:15:46.000
you know, Tick Tock, seven seconds, 15 seconds, just experiment with it.

247
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:52.340
I think a lot of this, I was talking with Lindsay today, like we have this sort of content,

248
00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:57.600
like core content pieces that are adding a ton of value and revelation.

249
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.580
But then there's other posts that are just helping, like, they're kind of like an ad

250
00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:05.660
just to kind of get people's attention and bring them into your world.

251
00:16:05.660 --> 00:16:11.060
And so just be have the freedom to kind of experiment with it and have fun with it.

252
00:16:11.060 --> 00:16:13.560
Because Tick Tock is a very creative platform.

253
00:16:13.560 --> 00:16:19.320
So adding in some creative, you know, juice to it makes it can make a lot more entertaining

254
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:24.080
and can you don't want to just like, be, you know, there to do entertainment and dance

255
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.660
videos and all that.

256
00:16:26.660 --> 00:16:27.660
Just experiment with it.

257
00:16:27.660 --> 00:16:31.500
It doesn't feel like every post has to look exactly the same way you sitting in the same

258
00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:33.120
spot.

259
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.120
Just experiment.

260
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:39.600
So that was the one thing we wanted to talk through is just kind of this difference between

261
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:45.460
content that is going out that's more just adding a ton of value or it's adding, you

262
00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:48.020
know, you're sharing some sort of revelation.

263
00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:52.740
And then also just having the freedom to do other pieces of content around that, that

264
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:56.740
just help point people to back to your, your content.

265
00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:58.860
So that's one thing.

266
00:16:58.860 --> 00:16:59.940
And then we'll talk as well.

267
00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:05.520
I did want to, we, I took a behind the scenes picture last night of our little setup, which

268
00:17:05.520 --> 00:17:06.520
I'm using right now.

269
00:17:06.520 --> 00:17:12.540
I've got my laptop on a cardboard box and our light and our mic, but it works.

270
00:17:12.540 --> 00:17:17.460
And so I just started, some people had questions about some, some gear.

271
00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:21.140
So I had some, you know, recommendations as we're kind of wrapping up eight week intensive.

272
00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:25.020
If there's things that down the road, you guys are looking to upgrade your lighting

273
00:17:25.020 --> 00:17:26.020
or mics or stuff.

274
00:17:26.020 --> 00:17:29.820
I'll throw out some suggestions for that.

275
00:17:29.820 --> 00:17:30.820
But that is it.

276
00:17:30.820 --> 00:17:35.300
And we'll do kind of like a final session on Thursday to wrap up with Lindsay and I

277
00:17:35.300 --> 00:17:39.620
both be on, and we're going to kind of use it as like a way to just to celebrate what

278
00:17:39.620 --> 00:17:44.660
the Lord has done late last eight weeks and what you guys have all been done and we'll

279
00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:46.740
kind of highlight some people.

280
00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:52.300
We actually do have some awards that we're going to be start giving out starting Thursday.

281
00:17:52.300 --> 00:17:56.020
So we have like a one, a one K award.

282
00:17:56.020 --> 00:17:58.960
So once you pass a thousand followers, you'll get a little certificate.

283
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:03.700
And then if you pass 10,000, we have a little trophy thing that we're actually going to

284
00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:04.700
send to you guys.

285
00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:09.460
So if you have over 10,000, then definitely don't miss Thursday.

286
00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:14.580
And we'll, we'll kind of celebrate that, but we want to kind of celebrate this, these accomplishments

287
00:18:14.580 --> 00:18:19.460
as we go and kind of build that into our kingdom messenger culture, that we are doing

288
00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:24.020
this together, that we're celebrating each other's wins, because when one person wins,

289
00:18:24.020 --> 00:18:30.860
like we just added 3,500 people to the kingdom messenger community reach when Milton had

290
00:18:30.860 --> 00:18:32.180
that one success.

291
00:18:32.180 --> 00:18:33.180
Right.

292
00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:36.460
So it's really cool to see that.

293
00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:42.060
And yeah, that's kind of, and then we've got you guys saw your emails, there's, there's

294
00:18:42.060 --> 00:18:47.180
some options to kind of join us for the next four months after this and kingdom messenger

295
00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:48.460
advancement.

296
00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:52.500
Just if you see that we deliberately did that as a separate video from Lindsay.

297
00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:53.500
So you can go check that out.

298
00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:57.380
If you guys have questions, you can book a call with us and we'll definitely chat with

299
00:18:57.380 --> 00:18:58.380
you.

300
00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:00.980
So those are all the admin things.

301
00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:04.820
And yeah, and then I'll just open it at the end just for any open coaching stuff.

302
00:19:04.820 --> 00:19:09.020
If you guys have, I know there's still tech questions or things we can answer.

303
00:19:09.020 --> 00:19:14.260
But I just definitely want to get you guys any questions that you have at the time.

304
00:19:14.260 --> 00:19:17.780
So that'll sound good.

305
00:19:17.780 --> 00:19:18.780
Awesome.

306
00:19:18.780 --> 00:19:19.780
Cool.

307
00:19:19.780 --> 00:19:26.940
So I'll just, I just want to share the some of the like, tech upgrades that you guys could

308
00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:28.140
consider.

309
00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:32.340
And anytime as well, you can, this is all on kingdom messenger TV.

310
00:19:32.340 --> 00:19:36.380
So I'll just kind of show you where to get to that.

311
00:19:36.380 --> 00:19:41.020
And there's a page here called your recommendations.

312
00:19:41.020 --> 00:19:47.140
And so I'll continue to update this over the, you know, as, as we need to.

313
00:19:47.140 --> 00:19:54.580
And so I would recommend if you're going to buy one piece of gear to upgrade your setup,

314
00:19:54.580 --> 00:19:56.980
I would buy a light kit.

315
00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:57.980
Okay.

316
00:19:57.980 --> 00:19:59.820
So just a single light.

317
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.960
I would, don't worry about a camera,

318
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.160
don't worry about tripods and stuff and teleprompters

319
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:07.760
and most of the stuff on here.

320
00:20:07.760 --> 00:20:11.760
I would really just focus kind of on these two light kits.

321
00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:12.600
These are great.

322
00:20:12.600 --> 00:20:13.640
You can click on these.

323
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.700
And I think we just linked out to Amazon.

324
00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:19.180
I believe this is this one here.

325
00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:20.920
This one's pretty good.

326
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:23.820
They have an app and I think I dropped some other ones

327
00:20:23.820 --> 00:20:24.840
into the Facebook group.

328
00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:27.960
I'll pull those up here as well.

329
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.320
But lighting makes a crazy huge difference.

330
00:20:31.320 --> 00:20:33.200
It's pretty much the only thing we bring

331
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.560
when we go on a trip.

332
00:20:35.560 --> 00:20:36.400
So I'm still using,

333
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.120
I'm using our little like laptop webcam right now,

334
00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:40.520
which is not great.

335
00:20:40.520 --> 00:20:44.320
It's roughly like a third the quality of my phone.

336
00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:46.820
So it's actually very, very grainy.

337
00:20:48.060 --> 00:20:49.480
But if you're in a pinch,

338
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.200
like using your iPhone with like some semi decent lighting

339
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:54.840
will go a really long way.

340
00:20:54.840 --> 00:20:57.400
And again, this is not, it's not,

341
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.080
it's important to make it look and sound good,

342
00:21:01.080 --> 00:21:02.600
but it's not the most important thing.

343
00:21:02.600 --> 00:21:04.040
So we don't really spend a lot of time

344
00:21:04.040 --> 00:21:06.120
talking about lighting and sound.

345
00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:09.560
We just try to have you focus on content

346
00:21:09.560 --> 00:21:13.240
because really that's what is going to cause the most growth.

347
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:15.400
But a lot of it as well,

348
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:16.240
even just for yourself,

349
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:18.160
as you're doing these videos over and over,

350
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:19.520
a little bit nicer lighting,

351
00:21:19.520 --> 00:21:21.680
it just builds a little bit of extra confidence

352
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.120
and you know that it looks really good.

353
00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:26.280
And again, if you're doing a lot of it,

354
00:21:26.800 --> 00:21:29.200
we've always seen kind of this sort of upgrade,

355
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.080
like buying a light, buying thing,

356
00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:34.920
as this is like us sewing into our own ministry,

357
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:36.320
you know, for posture.

358
00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:38.320
And we're doing this as if, you know,

359
00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:41.240
this is, we've kind of got this nonprofit called Posture

360
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:42.460
and we want to help reach people.

361
00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:45.760
So we need tools to do that, right?

362
00:21:45.760 --> 00:21:49.880
And so, you know, I had someone else was telling me

363
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:51.520
they always think of their stuff

364
00:21:51.520 --> 00:21:52.880
as like part of their tithe.

365
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.440
Like they literally just go find, you know, this gear

366
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:56.280
and this part of like,

367
00:21:56.280 --> 00:21:59.240
they're not just sewing into their churches, you know,

368
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:00.560
church ministry and tithing there,

369
00:22:00.560 --> 00:22:02.680
but they're also sewing into their own ministry

370
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:04.160
that the Lord's called them to.

371
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:06.480
So just, you know, experiment with it.

372
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:11.400
I highly recommend Amazon if you have that where you are,

373
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.040
just because you can try it for, I think, 30 days

374
00:22:14.040 --> 00:22:17.280
and set it up, see if it works, see if it's easy,

375
00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:20.200
see if you like it, if it works in your space,

376
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:23.960
if it's too big or it's too bright or whatever,

377
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:25.920
and you just pack it up and send it back to them

378
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:27.160
and then you can buy something else.

379
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.120
And so you can just keep swapping stuff.

380
00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:31.360
That's actually how we found most of our gear

381
00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:34.960
is just by getting, you know, something, trying it.

382
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.160
If we didn't like it, we send it back.

383
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:39.240
So that's a great way to do it.

384
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.320
You really, and really any good,

385
00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:44.680
like I would kind of stay away from things

386
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.320
like the ring light and some of those

387
00:22:47.320 --> 00:22:48.680
that are a little bit more,

388
00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:52.160
I just, they're kind of for like,

389
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:54.000
I guess I see influencers using them

390
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:57.200
for like makeup, beauty tutorials, right?

391
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.800
Like they're just, they tend to have

392
00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:00.120
just like a ring of light.

393
00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:02.280
They have a place for your phone in the middle.

394
00:23:02.280 --> 00:23:04.120
It seems conceptually like a good idea,

395
00:23:04.120 --> 00:23:06.640
but the problem is you get these rings in your eyes,

396
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.160
especially if you have glasses,

397
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:09.600
but even if you're close to the camera,

398
00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:12.680
like you get these weird white circles,

399
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:14.640
like outline circles in people's eyes

400
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.560
and it just looks a little intense.

401
00:23:17.560 --> 00:23:20.320
So I would always with your light, try to,

402
00:23:20.320 --> 00:23:23.200
you're thinking, it's not that you want to have light

403
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:26.200
shooting in at your face and have these harsh shadows.

404
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.840
It's that you want a very soft, natural light.

405
00:23:28.840 --> 00:23:31.320
So our light is, we typically take it

406
00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:33.440
and we just put it high up in the room.

407
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:35.920
Like I have it on top of a refrigerator right now

408
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.880
and I just put up there and it's just facing the ceiling.

409
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.040
And so the ceiling is like reflecting all that light

410
00:23:42.040 --> 00:23:43.400
and it's nice and soft.

411
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:44.560
So you actually aren't seeing like

412
00:23:44.560 --> 00:23:47.160
a whole lot of shadows here.

413
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:48.280
And that's kind of what you want.

414
00:23:48.280 --> 00:23:50.120
Just something that looks very natural

415
00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:54.120
because if you're speaking to people out in the wild,

416
00:23:54.120 --> 00:23:55.520
in the real world,

417
00:23:55.520 --> 00:23:57.840
there's not light shining right on them, right?

418
00:23:57.840 --> 00:23:59.040
It's very natural.

419
00:23:59.040 --> 00:24:01.520
And so there's the sun, it's soft, we've got clouds,

420
00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:02.360
like things are just,

421
00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:05.600
it's kind of creating this very natural, soft thing.

422
00:24:05.600 --> 00:24:09.280
So look for anything with like a soft box on it.

423
00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:10.960
You'll see them, they're kind of these big things

424
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.120
that just look like what you've seen from a photographer.

425
00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:15.920
I'd love to see, because I know some of you guys have,

426
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.040
I know Amy and others have bought some lights.

427
00:24:19.040 --> 00:24:22.160
Is there anything that you guys have tried that has worked?

428
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:24.720
I think Susie, you got something as well.

429
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:28.480
I'm happy with mine and I think it costs about $50.

430
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.160
Yeah, that's awesome.

431
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:31.080
It's just one.

432
00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:33.840
And then I've got a little just clamp on light

433
00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:35.840
on these shelves in front of me.

434
00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:37.560
So the main one is over here.

435
00:24:37.560 --> 00:24:39.840
And then just for the lighting,

436
00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:42.840
I just got a little one on the shelves that I used to use.

437
00:24:43.800 --> 00:24:45.840
I'm pleased.

438
00:24:45.840 --> 00:24:46.680
Awesome.

439
00:24:47.080 --> 00:24:51.760
This one has a range of the blueness to yellowness

440
00:24:51.760 --> 00:24:53.400
and a range of the brightness,

441
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:55.200
which I guess all of them do.

442
00:24:56.600 --> 00:24:58.240
That's, yeah, that is very helpful.

443
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.040
If you do have something that.

444
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.960
That's the one thing we don't have on ours, it's just ours is just zero to a hundred percent

445
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:11.040
brightness but if you have something that has like a color temperature so it can go more blue

446
00:25:11.040 --> 00:25:16.640
or more yellow that can be really nice and very helpful depending on like we've got a very yellow

447
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:21.840
ish looking room here because it's got like these walls I think are like a weird yellowy color.

448
00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:26.720
So you can kind of adjust that just a little bit. I'm going to pull up

449
00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:31.840
the one that I recommended to Ashley here.

450
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:40.000
I think it was

451
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:46.560
I'll just go on Facebook it was right over here.

452
00:25:57.120 --> 00:26:02.800
Yeah it's in this post if you guys are looking for all this it's in that post from last night

453
00:26:02.800 --> 00:26:10.480
but this one is has an led but it's got this big softbox on top of it and so what we're talking

454
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:17.280
about as far as the colors go see if I can get a good see if I can make this big yeah so you have

455
00:26:17.520 --> 00:26:27.600
this thing called color temperature and so the going to like 3200 Kelvin like that is more on

456
00:26:27.600 --> 00:26:33.440
the yellow side and then as you get this number goes up to like 5600 it's going to get more

457
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:41.040
bluer slash more of like a white light most of your like your lamps and house lights and stuff

458
00:26:41.040 --> 00:26:45.920
are going to be in this warmer tone so one thing you do want to be careful of is not getting

459
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:52.320
something that is like 5600 by itself and then you have all these other yellow lights and stuff

460
00:26:52.320 --> 00:26:57.360
so you have like yellow lights plus blue lights your a webcam or a phone is going to have a very

461
00:26:57.360 --> 00:27:02.480
hard time trying to adjust for that because it doesn't know what to go off so you kind of want

462
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.960
to make sure that everything in your room is yellow together or it's all going to be blue

463
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:12.080
it's going to have to kind of all the the lighting has to be kind of the same hue at least to kind of

464
00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:19.120
match so that's something if you do see something where it has like 3200 256 like that it's a great

465
00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:25.120
sign and then um you know this is a great is a little remote and stuff so you can just turning

466
00:27:25.120 --> 00:27:29.840
it on and off all of our light sets up setups as well we try to leave it where it is and we just

467
00:27:29.840 --> 00:27:35.920
have either one switch that we flip or we even have a little outlet that we connect ours to and

468
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:42.080
i tell um i have alexa i have a i say alexa turn the studio on and then she everything turns on

469
00:27:42.080 --> 00:27:49.840
it's pretty magical um so it's a fun fun trick so um and if you do get something like this where

470
00:27:49.840 --> 00:27:55.680
there is colors to it as well like some of these like like this led is it is it has red green and

471
00:27:55.680 --> 00:28:02.800
blue um color so what you can do is have one big light kind of off to the side um just on one side

472
00:28:02.800 --> 00:28:07.840
you don't need to have both lights kind of matching you exactly and hitting your face like

473
00:28:07.840 --> 00:28:13.200
that you just have one off to the side and then you could take the second light and put it behind

474
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:18.400
you and just put up a blue you know led and you could even for that where it's just a background

475
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.400
light you can take the softbox off because you don't really care you just want it to be as bright

476
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:28.720
as possible and it can create a nice look where you have you kind of in full color and the you

477
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:34.400
know whatever's behind you can just be a color um we do that in our office all the time um

478
00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:40.960
with something similar so cool um but yeah any questions on lighting

479
00:28:41.520 --> 00:28:43.760
that you guys may have i'm happy to answer anything

480
00:28:49.760 --> 00:28:52.000
cool no questions

481
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:57.920
okay let's just see here

482
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:04.800
okay um

483
00:29:07.120 --> 00:29:15.120
so uh the lighting is is there like i said if you go on amazon and just look for i think this is what

484
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:22.080
um if you just look for uh video lighting

485
00:29:24.320 --> 00:29:27.120
i'll just show you there's some really cheap options here as well

486
00:29:27.760 --> 00:29:35.680
uh these are these little panels like this um i have not we've not really used those but what you

487
00:29:39.280 --> 00:29:44.480
is source possible right so like the that's why you use the softbox it creates like this very wide

488
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.480
soft spread you don't want like a like a flashlight this is these are going to be

489
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:54.640
very small and very um direct so that's probably not going to be good just from um that the panels

490
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:59.680
are good this is the ring light would save it from that and um i'm just

491
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.320
if you add, like, softbox.

492
00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:07.480
But you'll see some of these lights.

493
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.680
This is probably something like what Suzy has.

494
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:14.000
It's like $58, and you just get one light.

495
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:16.360
And it's just, there's three.

496
00:30:16.360 --> 00:30:18.480
You can change to three different color temperature

497
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.680
modes, and it's got a little case,

498
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:21.880
and it's got a little remote.

499
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:23.240
So there are a lot.

500
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:26.920
And again, how I would pick this one, very complicated.

501
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.240
This one has 1,200 reviews.

502
00:30:29.560 --> 00:30:32.280
OK, so that's the one I would pick.

503
00:30:32.280 --> 00:30:34.800
You can just go by the reviews.

504
00:30:34.800 --> 00:30:38.600
And some of these newer ones, they don't have a lot of reviews.

505
00:30:38.600 --> 00:30:41.880
So that's kind of how I typically go about here.

506
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.320
Searching is just go on Amazon, top reviewed.

507
00:30:44.320 --> 00:30:47.720
And then I just see, obviously, it's got good ratings.

508
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:49.960
But then it's really just a lot.

509
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:51.920
Like, we've just done a lot of experimentation

510
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.720
with different types of lights.

511
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.120
I started out in sort of church youth group days,

512
00:30:57.120 --> 00:31:00.840
and we got these flood lights from Home Depot.

513
00:31:00.840 --> 00:31:04.760
So if you've ever seen the giant shop lights that are just,

514
00:31:04.760 --> 00:31:06.280
and we just turn those on.

515
00:31:06.280 --> 00:31:08.840
And it was always like 100 degrees in the studio.

516
00:31:08.840 --> 00:31:11.280
And we're like, look, we're filmmakers.

517
00:31:11.280 --> 00:31:13.920
It's just like, you're just looking so bright.

518
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.280
So now we know a little bit more about it.

519
00:31:16.280 --> 00:31:19.000
But that's kind of, I just kept buying different stuff.

520
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:20.800
Yeah, Marion has a question.

521
00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:24.000
Yeah, when you said the bit about two lights,

522
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.920
one at the front and one at the back,

523
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:28.040
and you can change the color on the back one

524
00:31:28.040 --> 00:31:29.680
for the background,

525
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.240
what if you have furniture in the background?

526
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:34.200
Does it have to be a blank wall?

527
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:35.240
No, no.

528
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:37.760
So like, that's what we do.

529
00:31:37.760 --> 00:31:38.600
Find some examples.

530
00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:40.680
So you guys know, like our normal setup

531
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.440
is we have a bookshelf and we have,

532
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:44.000
I have like my guitar and stuff.

533
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.800
And we just wash the whole thing with a blue color.

534
00:31:47.800 --> 00:31:49.040
Okay.

535
00:31:49.040 --> 00:31:50.760
And that can look really good.

536
00:31:51.800 --> 00:31:54.720
And you'll see, there's kind of a look at,

537
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:57.560
and then for Lindsay's posture and episodes,

538
00:31:57.560 --> 00:32:02.400
we'll do, let me find some examples of this so you can see.

539
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:07.160
Because for my house, it's all,

540
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:10.040
they're all very pale walls and I don't show up.

541
00:32:10.040 --> 00:32:14.040
Yeah, and so we have black walls in our studio.

542
00:32:14.040 --> 00:32:15.480
You don't need black walls,

543
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.440
but it's just kind of boring and dark and ominous.

544
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:24.200
So you see like, we have this little light up here,

545
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:25.400
which is just an LED.

546
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:28.280
And then I have, there's something like

547
00:32:28.280 --> 00:32:30.280
these little wash lights

548
00:32:30.280 --> 00:32:32.680
that are just a little panel like that.

549
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:34.160
And you could see my name is on there

550
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:35.920
and I just have a blue color

551
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.880
and that's, what's making this blue as well.

552
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:43.880
And if you look at posture in the most recent episodes,

553
00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:52.920
let's see here, you'll see, we actually have it.

554
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:54.600
It's more themed yellow.

555
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:56.760
So if I open this,

556
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:01.880
now we have to watch an ad.

557
00:33:04.520 --> 00:33:07.200
Always adds, I'm in my work account.

558
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:08.800
So, but there we go.

559
00:33:08.800 --> 00:33:11.720
So you can see, we've got like a yellow look

560
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:12.560
cause it's warmer.

561
00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:13.640
That's what we do for posture.

562
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.800
So we have Alexa, we tell her to do the lights to gold

563
00:33:16.800 --> 00:33:19.400
and then it just puts it into posture mode.

564
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:20.880
And then when we were doing kingdom messengers

565
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:25.240
or I'm just doing tech stuff, I just do blue.

566
00:33:26.360 --> 00:33:29.000
But it can be, it just, it gives you,

567
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:30.520
these are some things that you can use

568
00:33:30.520 --> 00:33:32.760
like over and over again.

569
00:33:32.760 --> 00:33:34.640
It's like, you just, you can take that

570
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:36.360
and put it in a different corner of the room.

571
00:33:36.360 --> 00:33:37.760
You could take it, you know,

572
00:33:37.760 --> 00:33:41.480
and it just kind of gives you a certain look about it.

573
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:45.080
So if you look at a lot of other YouTubers,

574
00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:46.920
you'll see this kind of thing.

575
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:48.720
People use it a lot.

576
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:50.560
It's just a little quick trick to make it,

577
00:33:50.560 --> 00:33:52.720
kind of brings attention to the person

578
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.320
and makes the background not so important.

579
00:33:55.320 --> 00:33:59.400
Yeah, so if I've got pale blue walls, for instance,

580
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:01.040
would it still make a difference?

581
00:34:01.040 --> 00:34:02.560
Would it make it darker?

582
00:34:04.560 --> 00:34:05.840
See, which is what I've done

583
00:34:05.840 --> 00:34:09.480
because my white hair kind of blends in with the background.

584
00:34:10.520 --> 00:34:15.199
Yeah, so the light is going to shine behind you.

585
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:16.040
Let me see.

586
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:17.560
This is, let me,

587
00:34:17.560 --> 00:34:19.719
I actually pulled up a little website here.

588
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:23.920
That's a good example of this.

589
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:26.639
These are very complicated.

590
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.000
I'll send you guys some resources.

591
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.639
These are one of the people that I follow.

592
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:31.560
Okay.

593
00:34:31.560 --> 00:34:34.120
And they just did a bunch of different setups,

594
00:34:34.120 --> 00:34:36.440
but basically what I'm showing here,

595
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:38.960
I think I can draw on this screen.

596
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:42.080
So you would have this as your,

597
00:34:42.080 --> 00:34:44.480
sort of your white light here.

598
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:47.520
And then this other light could just be kind of shining

599
00:34:47.520 --> 00:34:48.560
kind of behind you.

600
00:34:48.560 --> 00:34:50.239
Let's say that's the wall

601
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:51.719
or if you've got furniture and stuff.

602
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:53.440
So you don't want,

603
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:55.800
you want to take the light that's over here

604
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:59.000
and you want to make sure it doesn't spill onto you.

605
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.160
It's just to get the.

606
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.400
backdrop. So what it'll do is it makes the, whatever's behind you, you can make it blue

607
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:09.120
or purple or gold or whatever color you want. And it honestly doesn't matter too much if you're on a

608
00:35:09.120 --> 00:35:14.880
yellow wall or a light blue, or even on a black wall. Typically the lighter the walls, the better

609
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:22.080
because it actually reflects the light versus like if you had a black wall, it'll be more blue

610
00:35:22.080 --> 00:35:28.160
or be more purple, whatever color you pick. And you can obviously like, do you want to make sure

611
00:35:28.160 --> 00:35:33.680
it's subtle. It's not like, you know, that's like piercing, you know, crazy color. And then,

612
00:35:33.680 --> 00:35:37.040
but just probably different things. And if you get a setup as well, you can always

613
00:35:37.680 --> 00:35:42.480
record a test video and then share it with the group or get some feedback on it.

614
00:35:43.200 --> 00:35:44.320
Okay. Yeah.

615
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:46.000
But yeah.

616
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:47.200
Thank you.

617
00:35:47.200 --> 00:35:52.480
Awesome. And that's just, that's just one look. There's other,

618
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:56.800
there's a, there's a lot too. I mean, there's people that obviously that's all they do is

619
00:35:56.800 --> 00:36:02.160
lighting for film sets and stuff, but we're general kind of what we're doing for podcasting

620
00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:07.120
TikToks, like a really good single source light that's soft is, is we'll get you 80% of the way

621
00:36:07.120 --> 00:36:12.000
there. There's an infinite amount of other things you can add, like the colored lights behind,

622
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:18.800
you could add a, they have like a hit what they call like a hair light or like a helps separate

623
00:36:19.120 --> 00:36:23.040
you from the background. So it's actually a light that stands behind you that's off camera.

624
00:36:23.040 --> 00:36:27.920
And it just kind of washes the back of your head. And it just gives like a little bit of white light

625
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:33.280
to your shoulders and stuff so that it kind of separates you away from the background a little

626
00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:46.640
bit. But, and I'll see if I can find some examples here. So, oh, here's one example.

627
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:54.160
I picked the one day we have the worst lighting set up ourselves to talk about lighting,

628
00:36:55.120 --> 00:36:59.360
but see something like this, this is obviously on camera as part of the effect, but you can see

629
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:05.120
like this light that's coming over his shoulders. Typically you could just take a picture kind of

630
00:37:05.120 --> 00:37:10.080
in that space and it would just, you know, creates like a little bit of separation, you know,

631
00:37:10.080 --> 00:37:16.320
from him in the background. But yeah, anyway, there's lots of stuff on that. Happy to share.

632
00:37:16.640 --> 00:37:20.960
And I think I put a bunch of tutorials on kingdom messenger TV that are just other people

633
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:24.320
showing their light setup. So you can check that out. Awesome.

634
00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:32.080
Anything specific? Yeah. Xavier says, anything specific different that you do when you're on

635
00:37:32.080 --> 00:37:40.080
the road, we just try to pack really, really light. So not to have too much gear. So we have

636
00:37:40.080 --> 00:37:52.320
this little like mic here. This is the Shure SMV7. And we just, I have it on a little boom arms

637
00:37:52.320 --> 00:38:00.880
and see here. And it just, it, this, this, it looks like a cool podcasting mic that stand was

638
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:08.800
like $11 on Amazon. And it looks really legit. And it just clamps to any tabletop. So when we're here,

639
00:38:09.680 --> 00:38:13.360
we just, I'm sitting at the dining room table that's here. I can clamp it to any table.

640
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:19.200
And it just helps them. All it really does is get the mic is sitting like right above me. If I kind

641
00:38:19.200 --> 00:38:23.920
of bring it in, it's like right there. So it's actually very close to me, but it's not on camera.

642
00:38:24.640 --> 00:38:30.720
So did you, were you saying something? No, I was just, I was just wondering,

643
00:38:30.720 --> 00:38:35.440
cause I am on the road and the only thing I really did bring, I didn't even bring my lights

644
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:43.760
was just my little Yeti mic to do something along those lines. But I just didn't know if there were

645
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:48.560
any, any other shortcuts or things that you might do when you're away from the studio.

646
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:57.440
Yeah, I think typically, so we're a fan of like shooting into a corner, as you can tell,

647
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:01.440
like our studio is the same corner. This is almost exactly the same kind of layout

648
00:39:02.080 --> 00:39:06.080
just because it's a little bit more, it kind of has, rather than kind of being flat up against

649
00:39:06.080 --> 00:39:12.720
the wall, it's just a little bit more interesting. And then, so I actually, I took the dining room

650
00:39:12.720 --> 00:39:18.560
table and I've like shifted it to a 45 degree. So you can, I'm sure Lindsay appreciates all of

651
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:25.600
But no, that's important to know. Yeah. So sometimes it just made it a matter of like

652
00:39:25.600 --> 00:39:28.480
moving to the side. I'm looking for things that are not distracting.

653
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:33.120
Like there's a big window right here. It's got a lot of light that's coming in. So,

654
00:39:34.640 --> 00:39:40.720
but yeah, I just try to keep it simple. What we have done other times, this is the first time

655
00:39:40.720 --> 00:39:44.800
we've traveled without, we have like a little DSLR that we set up that's normally right above

656
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:50.080
there. And it actually, it makes quite a bit difference for this type of tutorials or training

657
00:39:50.080 --> 00:39:55.600
stuff. We just, it was just a whole lot extra to take it out of our setup at home. So I was like,

658
00:39:55.600 --> 00:39:59.920
let me just experiment without it. The newer Mac.

659
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.480
books, like if you see, they just came out, like the M2 MacBook air has a much

660
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:09.960
better FaceTime camera, if you have a really good, a newer iPad, um, they have

661
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:14.160
like full HD, your camera on your phone is going to be much, much better.

662
00:40:14.160 --> 00:40:18.180
So if I was recording a tutorial that was going to go to YouTube that I wanted

663
00:40:18.180 --> 00:40:21.280
to be around for a few months, um, I would not use this webcam.

664
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:25.240
I would use my phone and it would just take a little bit extra time to record

665
00:40:25.240 --> 00:40:29.280
it with the back camera, of course, not the, not the front facing one.

666
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:32.640
If you're going for that, like as best quality as possible.

667
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:34.440
Um, that's what I would do.

668
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:42.560
Um, so yeah, the, the mic, honestly, I think if I switched, but so if I, this

669
00:40:42.560 --> 00:40:48.320
is the, with the Shure M, um, MV7, and if I switched to this one, I don't even

670
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:54.200
know if you guys can like tell that much, but it's all these things.

671
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:57.480
Um, there's, there's small like increments.

672
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:01.080
So I'm bringing up this whole goofy mic and I have to have it now.

673
00:41:01.080 --> 00:41:04.280
It's like plugged into my computer by USB.

674
00:41:04.640 --> 00:41:07.200
Um, so it just adds complexity to it.

675
00:41:07.200 --> 00:41:09.520
So you have to kind of find a sweet spot.

676
00:41:09.520 --> 00:41:11.680
We found like a good mic and a good light.

677
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:13.880
And if I could only bring one, I would bring a good light.

678
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:19.920
Um, because if I turned, I'll turn the light off just so you can see how horrible it is.

679
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.120
And while we're waiting, yeah, Bobby, I do like this mic.

680
00:41:25.560 --> 00:41:30.040
Um, but I haven't, it, it, it's way better.

681
00:41:30.040 --> 00:41:32.000
I do most of my filming from my phone.

682
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:33.560
I've tried lavalier mics.

683
00:41:33.560 --> 00:41:34.400
I've tried what not.

684
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.400
I've just found that the Yeti just picks up way, way better and way easier.

685
00:41:38.640 --> 00:41:38.920
Yeah.

686
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:43.400
Um, and so it sounds good and it, you know, plugs right into the computer.

687
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:49.080
So that just plugs into your computer or would I plug it into my phone?

688
00:41:50.040 --> 00:41:54.280
If I'm, um, I don't know if there's an adapter there.

689
00:41:54.600 --> 00:41:57.680
I would think there would be Bruce, you know, of an adapter that can

690
00:41:57.680 --> 00:42:00.760
take a USB mic to the phone.

691
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:07.400
So if you're doing like a more of a tick tock style, um, there's actually,

692
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.040
um, let me find this real quick.

693
00:42:09.600 --> 00:42:13.200
Um, I take that back.

694
00:42:13.200 --> 00:42:13.400
Yeah.

695
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:17.080
So find there, there are other ones and yes, I do have an adapter that I can't

696
00:42:17.080 --> 00:42:21.280
plug it into the phone, um, that I do when I'm shooting Bobby, but they're

697
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.000
probably easier mics to use for that.

698
00:42:26.280 --> 00:42:29.440
So you can, it's not really designed for that.

699
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:33.280
So typically it's comes down to like the power source that, cause like these are

700
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:35.440
big, these mics are being powered off the computer.

701
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:37.840
So sometimes your phone doesn't have that much.

702
00:42:38.200 --> 00:42:39.720
Again, these are, this would be something I would try.

703
00:42:39.720 --> 00:42:43.920
I think I've even recommended this one to someone before, but it has an

704
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.040
adapter for like the lightning, um, table.

705
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:51.520
And this is kind of say again, any mic that's not just like the mic

706
00:42:51.520 --> 00:42:53.920
on your phone is absolutely tiny.

707
00:42:54.240 --> 00:42:54.520
Okay.

708
00:42:54.520 --> 00:42:58.920
So, um, again, it's good for most stuff and tick tock knows

709
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:00.000
everybody's using their phones.

710
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.400
They do things to the audio to make it sound a little better, but even something

711
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:09.400
like this $18 lav mic would go into your phone and you can clip it down and it's

712
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:11.040
black and it can kind of disappear.

713
00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:14.680
Um, you're going to probably get better sound through this.

714
00:43:15.040 --> 00:43:17.640
So just cause anytime you, it doesn't even matter.

715
00:43:17.720 --> 00:43:21.120
So I'm not even too worried that this is like the Yeti is about a hundred dollar

716
00:43:21.120 --> 00:43:21.480
mic.

717
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:23.720
This sure is about two 50.

718
00:43:24.040 --> 00:43:29.040
Um, the one that we use in the studio that we use all time is a NTG two.

719
00:43:29.040 --> 00:43:30.520
I think it's about four 50.

720
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.800
Um, and it's just, the only reason we do that is because Lindsay and I are

721
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:38.960
together and it's very like omni-directional so, and it, but it only

722
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:42.760
picks up our voices really well and not a lot of background noise, but you can

723
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:47.160
just keep spending as much money, but I can guarantee you that like this $18 mic

724
00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:52.280
will sound better in the right placement at the, you know, nice and close than if

725
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.400
I take a $400 mic and have it and I'm using it totally wrong.

726
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:56.800
So that's where I would be.

727
00:43:57.160 --> 00:44:00.840
Um, I would, your sound's always going to be better.

728
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:03.560
The closer you can get the mic to your mouth.

729
00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:08.760
And that's why, like in, when you see speakers, if you see any big church,

730
00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:13.760
like a Bethel or, or any, anything, they have these little tiny mics that come

731
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:19.280
down that are typically skin colored and they will, um, it's just a little dot

732
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.320
right here, but it's two inches from their mouth, but it's also, they don't

733
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:24.400
really see it cause people are mostly far away.

734
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:27.120
Um, so that's good.

735
00:44:27.200 --> 00:44:30.320
I would not use a lock mic on stage, but we guys aren't doing stage stuff,

736
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.720
but, um, for this type of thing.

737
00:44:32.720 --> 00:44:33.000
Yeah.

738
00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:38.360
And your little Apple air pod headphones that came with your iPhone

739
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:39.760
have an amazing mic as well.

740
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:43.320
So if you, if you just want to experiment, just use those iPod,

741
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:45.040
air pod, things like plug it into your phone.

742
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:46.240
Just kind of have it down.

743
00:44:46.240 --> 00:44:50.360
I've used, you'll see tick talkers will even hold up like the little mic parts

744
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:51.800
where the little volume thing is.

745
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:55.080
That's where the mic is and they'll hold it up and they'll speak right into it.

746
00:44:55.080 --> 00:44:56.320
And it's just super loud.

747
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:58.680
And I've actually used, they hold it kind of like a microphone.

748
00:44:59.000 --> 00:44:59.960
Um, if you're holding it.

749
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.960
Mike, but, um, so yeah, just experiment with all of this.

750
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:06.760
We figured out just from trying a lot of different things.

751
00:45:07.120 --> 00:45:10.240
Um, so, uh, that's good.

752
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:10.640
Yeah.

753
00:45:10.640 --> 00:45:12.000
Joe had a, you had a question.

754
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:18.320
Yeah, it's kind of since you're talking about mics, um, are you, you're not

755
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:22.040
using Mike for like when you're doing tick tock and that kind of stuff.

756
00:45:22.040 --> 00:45:23.680
You're using it more for long form.

757
00:45:23.680 --> 00:45:29.120
And when you're doing this kind of stuff and, um, The training and stuff,

758
00:45:29.120 --> 00:45:30.440
or how are you using Mike?

759
00:45:31.080 --> 00:45:31.240
Yeah.

760
00:45:31.240 --> 00:45:37.320
So, um, anything that you guys see from an S is using some sort of Mike.

761
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:42.680
Um, we really rarely, the only, only thing that, um, we'll use the

762
00:45:42.680 --> 00:45:44.560
iPhone Mike for is some of our ads.

763
00:45:44.560 --> 00:45:48.600
So for kingdom messenger, when we do, um, ads for a challenge or something,

764
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.880
uh, then Lizzie just does it with her phone and that is what goes out.

765
00:45:53.440 --> 00:46:00.240
But for ours, we just created one awesome setup in our office.

766
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:01.720
That also is our studio.

767
00:46:01.720 --> 00:46:05.840
So I sit when I'm not training, I sit at my desk in our studio

768
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:07.200
and that's where I work every day.

769
00:46:07.520 --> 00:46:11.240
I just, I can turn on the lights or turn them off, uh, as needed.

770
00:46:11.240 --> 00:46:15.160
And even when I hop on like a quick zoom call, if we're even doing a one-on-one

771
00:46:15.200 --> 00:46:19.520
session with you guys, we use that same studio, whether it's a challenge

772
00:46:19.520 --> 00:46:22.360
with hundreds of people or just a one-on-one session, or we're just

773
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.480
chatting with a friend, like that is the setup, we just use it for everything.

774
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:29.240
Um, and the same thing for Lindsay's, uh, for posture, she'll

775
00:46:29.240 --> 00:46:30.600
just sit at that same spot.

776
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:32.720
Um, it's not as cool.

777
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:35.880
Um, we've like her sitting in the office.

778
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:39.920
She doesn't like that look as much cause it's all black walls and it's dark.

779
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:43.240
Um, she actually, I really liked her earlier setups.

780
00:46:43.600 --> 00:46:47.960
Um, it, when we first started, she had, um,

781
00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:59.840
Oh, like she was actually in what is now the nursery.

782
00:47:00.600 --> 00:47:02.720
Uh, so that's what happens.

783
00:47:02.720 --> 00:47:15.240
We get a cool backdrop for Hannah, uh, totally worth it.

784
00:47:16.200 --> 00:47:21.240
Let's just go, um, all the way back.

785
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:34.560
So, um, these are all the lives, but some of these have like anything

786
00:47:34.560 --> 00:47:36.360
fancy, cause a little bit more time.

787
00:47:36.600 --> 00:47:42.640
We did start with, with this, which is the Yeti mic, the same mic, um, that,

788
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.680
uh, that, uh, Xavier has.

789
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:49.160
Um, we actually use that for the first, so this whole lighting setup,

790
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:50.840
this is just our living room.

791
00:47:51.080 --> 00:47:53.560
And there's no, there's not, there's no lighting here.

792
00:47:53.560 --> 00:47:54.960
The only bit of gear is this.

793
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.640
And then we have a little DSLR camera above her Peter and she

794
00:47:58.640 --> 00:47:59.520
didn't have a teleprompter.

795
00:47:59.520 --> 00:48:03.880
And that's why you can see the, um, the computer right there.

796
00:48:04.240 --> 00:48:05.680
And we just made it part of the set.

797
00:48:06.040 --> 00:48:08.720
Um, we happened to find like a white mic.

798
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:11.520
So it just was, you know, kind of a little bit more interesting

799
00:48:11.520 --> 00:48:13.080
than just black and techie.

800
00:48:13.520 --> 00:48:16.960
Um, but you'll see like, maybe not in this episode.

801
00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:21.440
Cause it's nice and shady, but it'll get brighter and darker kind

802
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:25.680
of throughout the episode, especially if it's a cloudy day and you can see

803
00:48:25.680 --> 00:48:33.440
like, we hadn't, uh, can roll over it.

804
00:48:36.080 --> 00:48:43.080
Um, let's see, cause it's the sun or whatever the day, how it looked, this

805
00:48:43.080 --> 00:48:54.480
is just a little bit too bright and a little too, um, and you know, so, uh,

806
00:48:55.160 --> 00:49:00.960
I guess, so I guess things you can do when you're at it.

807
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:12.000
Bruce, did we lose you?

808
00:49:12.200 --> 00:49:25.600
Uh, uh, make things better, but, um, I would try to do it all in the camera

809
00:49:25.600 --> 00:49:29.520
with the lighting, with the sound you have, it's very hard to like, you

810
00:49:29.520 --> 00:49:32.000
know, make it sound good and make it look good afterwards.

811
00:49:34.520 --> 00:49:34.800
Yep.

812
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:35.680
Lost Joe.

813
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:36.120
Joe's

814
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:41.560
I can, can you hear me?

815
00:49:42.080 --> 00:49:42.600
Yeah.

816
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:44.520
Oh, Hey, sorry.

817
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:46.440
I guess my, uh, my earbud died.

818
00:49:49.200 --> 00:49:54.280
Um, so I guess my question was kind of, um, cause I, you were breaking up for me

819
00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:57.880
there, but, um, so you're using mics.

820
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.320
Um, for like all of your videos and stuff.

821
00:50:02.320 --> 00:50:06.320
But how are you, if you're, are you doing everything on your, onto your computer?

822
00:50:07.640 --> 00:50:09.160
Cause I mean, we're making it with our phone.

823
00:50:09.160 --> 00:50:13.240
So like, I've, I've got the earbud things that I can use for a mic, but like, I

824
00:50:13.240 --> 00:50:17.300
have an XLR mic that I've just had for a long time and I have a mixing board,

825
00:50:17.300 --> 00:50:18.000
all that kind of stuff.

826
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:19.280
I used to use that for YouTube.

827
00:50:21.680 --> 00:50:26.380
Um, but I don't know how I would, aside from getting into a long production

828
00:50:26.380 --> 00:50:30.380
of moving my video on, getting something like premiere and getting

829
00:50:30.380 --> 00:50:31.460
into some serious editing.

830
00:50:32.140 --> 00:50:35.460
So, so Descript can sync the audio as well.

831
00:50:35.460 --> 00:50:40.300
So like if you record, um, basically to your phone and then you also record to

832
00:50:40.300 --> 00:50:42.540
your computer, you can always sync it up later.

833
00:50:42.900 --> 00:50:47.060
Um, there is ways to get it, like I said, into your phone.

834
00:50:47.060 --> 00:50:50.100
If you just want to have it all right there, this is where it gets complicated.

835
00:50:50.140 --> 00:50:53.660
This is why we don't start with this because no one would ever get a video

836
00:50:54.540 --> 00:50:58.500
um, because we'd be like worrying about what connector I need to get my iPhone

837
00:50:58.500 --> 00:51:03.340
to get this mic and we get, and it's also like, I'll tell you for me, this

838
00:51:03.340 --> 00:51:07.700
is the biggest excuse when it comes to creating content or anything creative.

839
00:51:07.700 --> 00:51:10.500
It's like, well, I don't have the mic yet and the connector.

840
00:51:10.500 --> 00:51:13.300
And I guess I'll just wait till I can get that or buy this or,

841
00:51:13.540 --> 00:51:14.700
you know, figure this out.

842
00:51:14.940 --> 00:51:17.380
And so you end up like never actually creating anything.

843
00:51:17.380 --> 00:51:20.300
So it's better just to speak creating.

844
00:51:20.340 --> 00:51:24.060
And then as, cause you'll actually also appreciate it more now that you've

845
00:51:24.060 --> 00:51:26.940
been doing tech talks and you're doing a couple of weeks and you're posting

846
00:51:26.940 --> 00:51:29.740
them, you're like, actually, this would be amazing if I could just do it this way.

847
00:51:29.740 --> 00:51:31.500
Now you actually start saving time.

848
00:51:31.940 --> 00:51:32.980
Um, doing it way.

849
00:51:32.980 --> 00:51:36.980
So I'm always looking for the most thing that saves us the most time.

850
00:51:36.980 --> 00:51:42.580
So we do for Lindsay's, uh, YouTube videos, we do go from the camera through

851
00:51:42.580 --> 00:51:44.700
the mic and it goes to our computer.

852
00:51:44.700 --> 00:51:48.460
And we use a tool called OBS, which is a free, um, right.

853
00:51:48.500 --> 00:51:48.700
Yeah.

854
00:51:50.340 --> 00:51:50.660
Yeah.

855
00:51:50.660 --> 00:51:54.140
And that's, and she just hits start and it records and then it brings the mic

856
00:51:54.140 --> 00:51:55.820
and the camera and everything together.

857
00:51:56.540 --> 00:52:00.060
And, um, we have some other options and stuff where we can share our screen

858
00:52:00.060 --> 00:52:02.300
and other things, uh, for tutorials.

859
00:52:02.780 --> 00:52:07.620
And then, uh, but if we're doing, if, if we were away from our community,

860
00:52:07.620 --> 00:52:08.980
we're just doing a straight tech talk.

861
00:52:08.980 --> 00:52:12.380
We just use the phone and we go with exactly this, the mic on the phone.

862
00:52:12.460 --> 00:52:17.180
Um, because it's so much, you add so much more time to try to like make

863
00:52:17.180 --> 00:52:21.100
it sound better that you'll end up spending five times longer on that

864
00:52:21.100 --> 00:52:24.260
video, just trying to get the audio synced and then make it sure it all

865
00:52:24.340 --> 00:52:27.340
that, you know, it works, um, and it's probably not worth it.

866
00:52:27.540 --> 00:52:30.580
So we're always looking for just the most, um, the fastest way

867
00:52:30.580 --> 00:52:33.460
to get things, um, out typically.

868
00:52:33.980 --> 00:52:38.140
Bruce, I have that little Lavalier microphone into my phone

869
00:52:38.140 --> 00:52:39.740
and it does make a difference.

870
00:52:39.820 --> 00:52:41.820
Yeah, it does sound better.

871
00:52:42.620 --> 00:52:42.980
Yeah.

872
00:52:43.540 --> 00:52:43.700
Yeah.

873
00:52:43.700 --> 00:52:44.060
All this.

874
00:52:44.060 --> 00:52:46.300
So that that's, that's a great thing is yeah.

875
00:52:46.300 --> 00:52:47.500
I would, I would say something like that.

876
00:52:47.500 --> 00:52:50.500
If you can get it to where I was just saying, like, instead of trying

877
00:52:50.500 --> 00:52:53.620
to like, it, you can always make it more complicated, but the

878
00:52:53.620 --> 00:52:55.100
struggle is to keep it really simple.

879
00:52:55.100 --> 00:52:58.300
So if you have one mic goes into your phone and it's recording it

880
00:52:58.300 --> 00:52:59.700
all together at the same place.

881
00:53:00.420 --> 00:53:01.060
That's awesome.

882
00:53:01.060 --> 00:53:03.020
That really will save you time.

883
00:53:03.700 --> 00:53:05.140
Keep away from being complicated.

884
00:53:05.700 --> 00:53:11.580
Um, I'll say we also, this was the look that we were, um, I was

885
00:53:11.580 --> 00:53:14.180
mentioning with like the white background, which I think is quite nice.

886
00:53:14.580 --> 00:53:21.900
Um, there's one, I look at, um, wireless lapel.

887
00:53:21.980 --> 00:53:39.580
Um, we gave, I got recommended, I think it was the road, my here.

888
00:53:40.500 --> 00:53:49.380
Um, for, uh, Candace.

889
00:53:49.700 --> 00:53:53.780
Um, so she's like doing something very different.

890
00:53:54.020 --> 00:54:00.180
She's actually, you know, um, doing exercises and stuff

891
00:54:00.180 --> 00:54:01.780
and she's moving around a lot.

892
00:54:01.780 --> 00:54:10.340
So this was a little lapel that goes, uh, clips on your shirt.

893
00:54:10.380 --> 00:54:12.980
It's got a little pack and then you can put the other

894
00:54:12.980 --> 00:54:14.900
side of it on the computer.

895
00:54:15.100 --> 00:54:19.180
So if you are moving around or I would say I've seen, um, some

896
00:54:19.180 --> 00:54:22.340
people, uh, um, if they're teaching somewhere, or let's say they're

897
00:54:22.340 --> 00:54:24.620
even just doing a small group and you want to record it, you can

898
00:54:24.620 --> 00:54:27.700
use something like this just so that you have, it's not, you don't

899
00:54:27.700 --> 00:54:30.100
need to, you know, amplify the sound in the meeting, but you

900
00:54:30.100 --> 00:54:31.100
can just have that recording.

901
00:54:31.100 --> 00:54:32.220
It's just kind of clipped on.

902
00:54:32.500 --> 00:54:35.740
And if you want to use it, or if you have someone filming, um, you know,

903
00:54:35.740 --> 00:54:38.740
if you're teaching somewhere, have someone film it in portrait or

904
00:54:38.740 --> 00:54:40.100
just put it on the little stand.

905
00:54:40.300 --> 00:54:42.740
You do your teaching and you can always go back and chop that up.

906
00:54:43.020 --> 00:54:44.300
Um, later.

907
00:54:44.300 --> 00:54:46.300
So something like this would be, would be good.

908
00:54:46.540 --> 00:54:50.100
Um, this one, I think is a hundred and something.

909
00:54:50.380 --> 00:54:52.820
Um, but wireless does make it more complicated.

910
00:54:52.820 --> 00:54:55.540
And then you inevitably are running until keep it simple.

911
00:54:55.660 --> 00:54:59.380
Um, if you can best for your particular set of content, most lapel mic and you

912
00:54:59.380 --> 00:55:00.140
clip it on a shirt.

913
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.260
or something and just get the sound closer or the mic closer to your mouth.

914
00:55:04.260 --> 00:55:09.600
And, and it will just sound more, um, substantial and, you know, and, and more

915
00:55:09.600 --> 00:55:15.680
clear, so that's probably the, that's probably the easiest thing to do to make

916
00:55:15.680 --> 00:55:17.540
it just dramatically improve the sound.

917
00:55:18.140 --> 00:55:23.360
Um, and you saw in Descript as well, there is that little studio check mark.

918
00:55:23.420 --> 00:55:27.800
So if you guys saw that tutorial for Descript, um, they have a little button

919
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:31.640
and it will actually make the sound, sound amazing, um, sounds like it has a

920
00:55:31.640 --> 00:55:34.520
podcast mic, even if it's coming from your phone.

921
00:55:34.900 --> 00:55:37.620
Uh, so there's little things you can do afterwards as well.

922
00:55:38.140 --> 00:55:40.820
So, but again, it adds a little bit more complexity.

923
00:55:40.820 --> 00:55:41.160
So.

924
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:43.240
Cool.

925
00:55:43.300 --> 00:55:47.080
I think last, one of the things I used long ago, I haven't used it in a while,

926
00:55:47.080 --> 00:55:50.660
but, uh, one of the external mics attached just to your phone, you know,

927
00:55:50.660 --> 00:55:54.500
something like this, you know, from, from zoom, which really made a huge

928
00:55:54.540 --> 00:55:56.460
difference, especially back then.

929
00:55:56.460 --> 00:56:00.300
But that's just another easy, simple way to, you know, to, to adjust.

930
00:56:01.900 --> 00:56:02.100
Yeah.

931
00:56:02.100 --> 00:56:06.340
And again, you've got, you know, a very tiny mic on your phone that's

932
00:56:06.340 --> 00:56:10.500
designed for doing phone calls right now, trying to film all this stuff with it.

933
00:56:10.820 --> 00:56:13.900
And they've gotten really good, but anytime you have like a better source

934
00:56:13.900 --> 00:56:16.940
like that, like that's a really nice mic that they're now just sending

935
00:56:16.940 --> 00:56:20.200
through into the phone, it's going to sound better.

936
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:21.560
Just experiments.

937
00:56:21.640 --> 00:56:26.720
I would say like, um, if you guys are creating as much content as most of

938
00:56:26.720 --> 00:56:30.100
you are, it's worth starting to look into some of this stuff, just because

939
00:56:30.100 --> 00:56:34.480
it's kind of like, if you were a carpenter, like you would get into

940
00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:37.880
figuring out not just how to make a table, but like, Hey, there's this

941
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:39.840
saw versus that versus this drill.

942
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:42.400
Like you would kind of get all the tools of the trade, right.

943
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:45.680
And I'm figuring out, so you don't have to be an expert on any of it.

944
00:56:45.700 --> 00:56:47.280
You don't even have to know how any of it works.

945
00:56:48.080 --> 00:56:50.220
As long as you know how to plug it in and it works great.

946
00:56:50.220 --> 00:56:52.440
And that's, that's probably the last thing I'll say about all

947
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:54.400
this is keep it super simple.

948
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:57.680
If, if it's confusing and now like, you feel like you can't create content

949
00:56:57.680 --> 00:57:00.960
because you can't get the thing just right, or now it's, it's in the

950
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:03.680
way and it's distracting, just take it out.

951
00:57:03.680 --> 00:57:07.760
Like we've, I've taken a lot of gear out of our system because it

952
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:11.480
just, it was, especially if I would set it up one way, and then if I was

953
00:57:11.600 --> 00:57:15.160
busy and Lindsay wanted to record a podcast and she didn't know how to do

954
00:57:15.160 --> 00:57:18.120
it now, because like I had just come in and done it for her, or I thought

955
00:57:18.120 --> 00:57:20.520
it was really simple, but it wasn't.

956
00:57:20.780 --> 00:57:23.920
And so a lot of it, we've just really worked to where we can, you know,

957
00:57:24.080 --> 00:57:25.560
have Alexa turn all the lights on.

958
00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:29.600
I hit this one button on my little, uh, I have a little like pad,

959
00:57:29.600 --> 00:57:31.520
a little stream deck on our desk.

960
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:35.280
And so it has a record button and a play button and all that stuff on the buttons.

961
00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:36.800
She just hits that and she can go.

962
00:57:37.160 --> 00:57:41.580
Um, and then it's not as creative, like all the things look exactly the same,

963
00:57:41.580 --> 00:57:44.860
but for the sake of keeping it simple and having that confidence

964
00:57:44.860 --> 00:57:46.580
to just it's ready at all times.

965
00:57:47.060 --> 00:57:48.900
Um, that's what we have right now.

966
00:57:48.900 --> 00:57:51.420
So, um, cool.

967
00:57:53.020 --> 00:57:53.380
Yeah.

968
00:57:53.420 --> 00:57:56.660
You don't have to really care about the quality, um, Susie, but as long as

969
00:57:56.660 --> 00:58:01.460
it's, it's something you can just, um, I would say if you're putting a lot

970
00:58:01.460 --> 00:58:05.180
of different content, especially on the longer form content, that's where it,

971
00:58:05.220 --> 00:58:08.660
you know, you're planning on it being around, like, I'm so glad that we did

972
00:58:08.660 --> 00:58:12.900
spend a little extra time on some of those podcasts Lindsay did two years ago,

973
00:58:13.220 --> 00:58:17.300
because some of them are getting, you know, thousands of views still to this

974
00:58:17.300 --> 00:58:21.940
month, and I love that, you know, it's not as good as it is now, but at least

975
00:58:21.940 --> 00:58:26.740
we, we spent a lot of extra time at the time when we recorded it, just to take

976
00:58:26.740 --> 00:58:29.820
a little bit extra time and make sure it looked, looked good.

977
00:58:29.820 --> 00:58:32.940
So, um, it's not the most important thing.

978
00:58:32.940 --> 00:58:33.620
I'll say it again.

979
00:58:33.620 --> 00:58:37.020
Like it is, it is important, but it's not the most important thing.

980
00:58:37.420 --> 00:58:43.220
Uh, so, but something to, to just keep adding and, um, yeah, I'm always happy

981
00:58:43.300 --> 00:58:47.300
anytime you guys want to geek out about gear and stuff, I'm happy to send

982
00:58:47.300 --> 00:58:48.980
you as many Amazon links as you want.

983
00:58:51.860 --> 00:58:53.180
So cool.

984
00:58:53.220 --> 00:58:53.860
Oh, yeah.

985
00:58:54.380 --> 00:58:54.900
I see.

986
00:58:55.980 --> 00:58:58.220
Uh, mom has a question.

987
00:58:58.980 --> 00:58:59.540
I have a question.

988
00:59:00.500 --> 00:59:06.820
So, um, I have only been doing this since we started with you and I spent

989
00:59:06.820 --> 00:59:11.940
time this morning, I'm doing a parent coaching call on Sunday and I got my

990
00:59:11.940 --> 00:59:16.500
notes done this morning, you know, prepared quickly, and then I spent the

991
00:59:16.500 --> 00:59:21.060
next three hours trying to do a TikTok post and that doesn't get in for those

992
00:59:21.060 --> 00:59:23.460
of you who've been doing it longer, does it get any easier?

993
00:59:23.940 --> 00:59:26.980
I mean, it seemed like, you know, preparing something for a coaching

994
00:59:26.980 --> 00:59:28.460
call on Sunday was easy.

995
00:59:28.900 --> 00:59:32.300
I had my notes, I could get it done, but then I wrote my script for the

996
00:59:32.300 --> 00:59:35.980
TikTok and then I recorded it and then I rerecorded it and I still haven't posted.

997
00:59:36.500 --> 00:59:37.900
So does it get any easier?

998
00:59:37.900 --> 00:59:42.420
Is there a way to just say it's good to go or am I being too much of a, you

999
00:59:42.420 --> 00:59:47.300
know, perfectionist or, I mean, you know, some of you have been doing it longer.

1000
00:59:47.300 --> 00:59:48.260
What would you say?

1001
00:59:49.140 --> 00:59:53.260
For me, Bridget, I have found that when I tried to write it all out and

1002
00:59:53.260 --> 00:59:55.340
do it, it sounded so formal.

1003
00:59:55.780 --> 00:59:56.580
Okay.

1004
00:59:56.820 --> 00:59:59.900
I started just talking, but all I do is.

1005
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.760
go through what I'm going to do and really get it into me and pray and speak what's in

1006
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:13.560
my heart. And most times do one take and that's it. Oh, good. Wow. It's not really easy. Okay.

1007
01:00:13.560 --> 01:00:20.340
As long as I know my subject and I know what I'm going to say. And when I speak, and my

1008
01:00:20.340 --> 01:00:25.920
feelings are coming across, I get more views. Okay, yeah. My husband says I go a little

1009
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:30.160
bit, you know, like a robot sometimes. And so I think that's what you mean. Maybe I need

1010
01:00:30.160 --> 01:00:39.160
to just maybe you're trying too hard. Okay, well, that's good. Yeah. I think I'm pushing

1011
01:00:39.160 --> 01:00:43.560
it too hard. Yeah. On the other hand, I tend to take so many takes that by the time I'm

1012
01:00:43.560 --> 01:00:48.880
done, I've got it memorized. I know. Yeah. I mean, I don't read my script. I just write

1013
01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:52.640
it so that I know where I'm going. Because you don't want to be waffling through the

1014
01:00:52.640 --> 01:00:56.840
thing. But then sometimes a third or fourth time, I'm not even, you know, I'm just speaking

1015
01:00:56.840 --> 01:01:03.080
clearly. But it's just very time consuming. And I'd rather do one a day than do one perfect

1016
01:01:03.080 --> 01:01:08.200
one, you know, or not do anything at all. So I think, you know, there's a balance there

1017
01:01:08.200 --> 01:01:14.120
trying to find that. So yeah, I think there is a balance. And I'm the perfect example,

1018
01:01:14.120 --> 01:01:20.080
because I had to script out everything to make sure I stayed on point. And, you know,

1019
01:01:20.080 --> 01:01:28.520
for me, when I started this 20 minutes was short form. You know, we've got it down, but

1020
01:01:28.520 --> 01:01:34.800
it does get easier as you do it. And there is this, there's just this learning curve

1021
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:39.960
and this comfortability curve that you have to kind of go through. And once you start

1022
01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:44.600
doing it, then you realize, okay, this is what's connecting this is what is it because

1023
01:01:44.600 --> 01:01:49.240
being a perfectionist, I would do it again and again and again, until I got it just right.

1024
01:01:49.240 --> 01:01:54.120
And now I just want to get through it without stumbling. And if I just managed to do that,

1025
01:01:54.120 --> 01:01:59.760
then it's good enough, because the message is out there. And as you do it more than that

1026
01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:05.880
becomes easier. So you know, you you learn to focus on on what's really important. It's

1027
01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:10.480
just Yeah, it's a matter of just doing it. And the more that you do it, the faster you

1028
01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:11.960
get through that.

1029
01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:19.440
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if it gets it gets easier. I think you just you also get like,

1030
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:25.200
I would say for Lindsay, you know, to me, and maybe to you guys, hopefully, she just

1031
01:02:25.200 --> 01:02:29.400
starts speaking and you're like, this is amazing. Like, how do you put all these words together

1032
01:02:29.400 --> 01:02:34.680
without fumbling around and, and then she'll come and be like, Oh, that was like, she'll

1033
01:02:34.680 --> 01:02:38.400
be like stressed afterwards. Like, I'm so sorry. That was like all over the place. And

1034
01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:43.240
I was like, this is amazing. Like, what are you talking about? So but so I in my mind,

1035
01:02:43.240 --> 01:02:47.440
I'm like, well, you've done 200 podcast episodes. So like, can't you put you know, something

1036
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:51.920
together for five minutes, like super quick, you know, and she never she actually spends

1037
01:02:51.920 --> 01:02:57.400
more time now doing an episode than she did when she started, even though she's done so

1038
01:02:57.400 --> 01:03:01.800
many because she takes it so much more seriously. And now she's she is writing every word into

1039
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:07.760
scripting it. Again, that's more for the long form and her particular style. She likes everything.

1040
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:13.280
I would say for tick tock, I would only script out that I would I would kind of workshop

1041
01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:20.160
that first sentence, like I would look at everything you want to say. And then that

1042
01:03:20.160 --> 01:03:25.440
first opening hook, that's really the most important thing you say is going to be in

1043
01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:30.600
that first five seconds. So I would write that out or test it or and try to record it

1044
01:03:30.600 --> 01:03:35.440
and try it different ways. Saying it different ways to makes it feel as natural as possible.

1045
01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:39.240
It almost doesn't matter how the delivery is or how many mistakes and stuff you make

1046
01:03:39.240 --> 01:03:43.920
after that. It's just to get people to kind of hook them in that initial thing is most

1047
01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:48.760
people like I've even seen one tick tocker who said like, if you're getting around that

1048
01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:54.800
200 views, like just consider 200 views, zero views. Yeah, I know. I know that kind of like

1049
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:59.320
stings a little bit, but like, and we have a lot of videos I put out that have less than

1050
01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:05.240
200 views. But the algorithm is going to get you 200 views kind of regardless. It's if

1051
01:04:05.240 --> 01:04:09.560
you can get past that and break out of what they're showing, that's where you'll start

1052
01:04:09.560 --> 01:04:14.440
to get more and more momentum and more followers and more people actually watching it. So they're

1053
01:04:14.440 --> 01:04:18.800
going to go get you those 200 views either way. But the difference between 200 views

1054
01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:25.080
or getting past 200 views is normally those first couple seconds. It's not 30 seconds

1055
01:04:25.080 --> 01:04:28.040
in when you use this scripture instead of that scripture, like no one's even making

1056
01:04:28.040 --> 01:04:32.600
it that far. Right. And that's what we want. All we're trying to do in those first few

1057
01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:40.680
seconds. So yeah, thank you. Yeah, so that's the only thing I would sort of workshop. Yeah,

1058
01:04:40.680 --> 01:04:47.320
cool. I want to say something to Bridget. Like, I feel like, like our all of us have a different

1059
01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:53.800
style. I mean, you know, our approach everything. And once you get into the flow of that may not

1060
01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:59.800
look like exactly the same thing every time. But you will get more familiar with the

1061
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:08.520
process and pick a hat that maybe you've heard about, you know, that are time-saving tips.

1062
01:05:08.520 --> 01:05:15.300
And you don't, I mean, like I have, I've been at this, you know, over a year and I'm just

1063
01:05:15.300 --> 01:05:20.760
now implementing things because I was not a techie at all.

1064
01:05:20.760 --> 01:05:27.100
And I'm still not, and probably never will be, but, but still, you know, it's just, just

1065
01:05:27.100 --> 01:05:34.660
a learning curve and, you know, and, and with time, and that's kind of a big thing.

1066
01:05:34.660 --> 01:05:41.980
I mean, you've got this, this coaching call coming, coming up and I mean, like, and there's

1067
01:05:41.980 --> 01:05:49.180
been a big push during this eight week intensive, so, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1068
01:05:49.180 --> 01:05:52.420
Well we have a coaching call once a month with parents and then we've been doing an

1069
01:05:52.420 --> 01:05:54.020
empty nest course, which just finished.

1070
01:05:54.020 --> 01:05:59.380
So I've been kind of multi-purposing my time and I was working until the end of August.

1071
01:05:59.380 --> 01:06:04.920
So I'm hoping to be more focused on this now, but it's not so much that I want it to be

1072
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:08.700
perfect as I don't want it to be a distraction and then people not interested, you know,

1073
01:06:08.700 --> 01:06:14.660
I think I really want them to hear what I have to say and I don't want my voice or the

1074
01:06:14.660 --> 01:06:18.980
lighting or stumbling to be a distraction, you know, of course there's pride there as

1075
01:06:18.980 --> 01:06:19.980
well.

1076
01:06:19.980 --> 01:06:23.820
I'll be honest, but these that there's more than the thing of wanting to get the message

1077
01:06:23.820 --> 01:06:24.820
across clearly.

1078
01:06:24.820 --> 01:06:32.220
So, well, can I just say that you and Marion and anybody that has a beautiful accent, like

1079
01:06:32.220 --> 01:06:37.620
who cares about your lighting or anything, people are going to tune in and listen to

1080
01:06:37.620 --> 01:06:38.620
what you say.

1081
01:06:38.620 --> 01:06:40.260
And that is the absolute truth.

1082
01:06:40.260 --> 01:06:44.140
Plus what you both have to say is beautiful in its own right.

1083
01:06:44.140 --> 01:06:48.140
So you've got the combo that like, there's a lot of favor on that.

1084
01:06:48.140 --> 01:06:49.140
Yeah.

1085
01:06:49.300 --> 01:06:50.300
Thank you.

1086
01:06:50.300 --> 01:06:51.300
Thank you.

1087
01:06:51.300 --> 01:06:52.300
Yeah.

1088
01:06:52.300 --> 01:06:53.300
Okay.

1089
01:06:53.300 --> 01:06:54.300
Thank you.

1090
01:06:54.300 --> 01:07:02.740
If you guys are, if you are creating other content, you're preaching or you're doing

1091
01:07:02.740 --> 01:07:08.820
other meetings outside of this, like just try to find ways to repurpose that don't feel

1092
01:07:08.820 --> 01:07:11.820
like you have to be, I'm on, I'm doing this one talk.

1093
01:07:11.820 --> 01:07:15.820
And then I also have to go and make these totally different disconnected TikToks about

1094
01:07:15.820 --> 01:07:18.420
the same topic.

1095
01:07:18.420 --> 01:07:19.420
Just line it up.

1096
01:07:19.420 --> 01:07:21.580
So that week you're prepping for all that.

1097
01:07:21.580 --> 01:07:26.460
So then just take all your notes and just make five or six TikToks out of that while

1098
01:07:26.460 --> 01:07:29.660
it's fresh, like that week, while you're still thinking about it.

1099
01:07:29.660 --> 01:07:34.860
And the other thing you can do is after the call, you know, just note some good questions.

1100
01:07:34.860 --> 01:07:42.660
Sometimes people in those coaching sessions ask a really good question.

1101
01:07:42.660 --> 01:07:54.060
You can have a TikTok that says, Hey, today I got the question, this, I didn't get questions

1102
01:07:54.060 --> 01:07:55.060
answered.

1103
01:07:55.060 --> 01:07:57.420
So that's a, that may be something that could work.

1104
01:07:57.420 --> 01:07:59.700
I think my internet is going in and out.

1105
01:07:59.700 --> 01:08:01.700
So you guys are all freezing.

1106
01:08:01.700 --> 01:08:06.500
Completely missed that last bit, Bruce.

1107
01:08:06.500 --> 01:08:08.940
Just saying like, you could use questions.

1108
01:08:08.940 --> 01:08:12.340
If you, if you're doing a training or people are asking questions from the audience, you

1109
01:08:13.020 --> 01:08:19.060
can just start your TikTok by saying, today I got this question about how to, you know,

1110
01:08:19.060 --> 01:08:21.420
implement discipline as a parent or something.

1111
01:08:21.420 --> 01:08:24.620
And then you can just state your answer in 60 seconds.

1112
01:08:24.620 --> 01:08:26.020
So just use that as content.

1113
01:08:26.020 --> 01:08:29.660
Also that is what your who is literally asking you, right?

1114
01:08:29.660 --> 01:08:30.740
Or look through your comments.

1115
01:08:30.740 --> 01:08:32.979
So there's a lot of places to look for content.

1116
01:08:32.979 --> 01:08:37.979
All of our YouTube videos for Kingdom Messengers come from these calls.

1117
01:08:38.060 --> 01:08:42.420
You guys ask a question, people are like, Oh, I want to stream to Facebook and YouTube

1118
01:08:42.420 --> 01:08:43.420
at the same time.

1119
01:08:43.420 --> 01:08:44.420
Okay, perfect.

1120
01:08:44.420 --> 01:08:48.140
That's the title of my video, how to stream to YouTube and Facebook at the same time.

1121
01:08:48.140 --> 01:08:51.779
Because I didn't come up with that, but someone in this group asked that question.

1122
01:08:51.779 --> 01:08:54.340
And so we made a YouTube video and that's what we posted.

1123
01:08:54.340 --> 01:08:58.540
And then, you know, it's, it's kind of just having a dialogue back and forth with your

1124
01:08:58.540 --> 01:08:59.540
who.

1125
01:08:59.540 --> 01:09:03.819
And so if you are doing teaching or training or anything like that, I would just really

1126
01:09:03.819 --> 01:09:07.380
purpose as much of that as you can.

1127
01:09:07.779 --> 01:09:10.819
And don't feel like you have to go make separate TikToks, you know, on theme.

1128
01:09:10.819 --> 01:09:15.140
So a lot of guys now like are just, they just document what's happening.

1129
01:09:15.140 --> 01:09:16.660
They don't have a content strategy.

1130
01:09:16.660 --> 01:09:20.180
They just, if they're teaching at that conference, they'll pull clips from that conference or

1131
01:09:20.180 --> 01:09:23.420
whatever and they repost it, you know, to TikTok.

1132
01:09:23.420 --> 01:09:27.899
Or if they're doing a podcast interview, they'll just set up their phone off on the side and

1133
01:09:27.899 --> 01:09:31.140
just record it and then use that as, you know, notes.

1134
01:09:31.140 --> 01:09:37.740
So there's a lot of different ways to, to, you know, leverage your time that way.

1135
01:09:37.740 --> 01:09:39.420
So awesome.

1136
01:09:39.420 --> 01:09:44.020
We'll probably get into some like podcasting and interview stuff in the advancement thing

1137
01:09:44.020 --> 01:09:47.020
next month, starting in October.

1138
01:09:47.020 --> 01:09:53.420
So because that's another great way is to kind of use interviews, even to each other.

1139
01:09:53.420 --> 01:09:58.620
If you guys, you know, did interviews with each other to repurpose and kind of build

1140
01:09:58.620 --> 01:10:00.300
audiences to, you know, take.

1141
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:06.000
your audience and share with that person, you're, you know, vice versa in that. So, cool.

1142
01:10:08.400 --> 01:10:14.160
All right. Well, anyone else had anything? I'm gonna wrap up. Anyone have any other questions?

1143
01:10:17.040 --> 01:10:23.200
So, yes. I was gonna kind of ask a question even for Bridget is,

1144
01:10:23.200 --> 01:10:29.520
and I may be doing this wrong, but it seems to be working. If I'm doing my

1145
01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:37.280
taping or whatever, if I get two-thirds done and I just really make a mistake,

1146
01:10:37.280 --> 01:10:43.040
I just let it keep rolling because now your son taught us these great editing techniques.

1147
01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:49.120
So, I just let it keep going and then, like, I'll just stand there and kind of cheat and look at

1148
01:10:49.120 --> 01:10:55.200
something and then just start back and then I just put it together and it's been working,

1149
01:10:55.200 --> 01:11:00.000
unless you tell me it looks bad, Bruce, or, I mean, some of my stuff, like my,

1150
01:11:00.560 --> 01:11:03.440
whatever that little story I just had to do, I forget what it's called.

1151
01:11:07.200 --> 01:11:10.960
Origin story, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty choppy because that was,

1152
01:11:10.960 --> 01:11:15.680
that was kind of a tough one, but, I mean, is that okay to do? Because otherwise,

1153
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:20.560
I took like 40 takes that I have to start over every time and by the end, I'd be exhausted.

1154
01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:25.920
So, now I just do one take and just put it all together as long as it's not too choppy.

1155
01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:27.040
What are your thoughts, Bruce?

1156
01:11:29.680 --> 01:11:32.880
I think you can definitely have it choppy. I think if it's choppy and to the point,

1157
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:38.160
it can bring people really into, I think there's obviously a timeline there where it's so

1158
01:11:38.160 --> 01:11:43.200
distracting. It's definitely easier to do it that way. Just let it roll and then just edit it later.

1159
01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:46.880
Yeah, it makes total difference for me.

1160
01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:52.480
Yeah, you can make it seem less choppy the more you kind of tweak the edit and how exactly you

1161
01:11:52.480 --> 01:11:59.360
time it when a camera changes. A lot of people will change between like the camera being

1162
01:11:59.360 --> 01:12:04.640
zoomed out and then kind of zoomed in and they just alternate. It's every shot where you're

1163
01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:09.040
jumping. It's just like, it's in, it's out, it's in, it's out. And so, just by that movement of

1164
01:12:09.040 --> 01:12:14.640
cutting in and cutting back out, if your hand's over here and then it's gone and then it's back,

1165
01:12:14.640 --> 01:12:18.880
it's not quite as noticeable because so much is changing on the screen and so much is changing

1166
01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:23.840
on the screen. That's a little trick, but there's lots of things like that I would just experiment

1167
01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:24.480
with.

1168
01:12:24.480 --> 01:12:26.480
Yeah, I might maybe use some editing more.

1169
01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:33.280
It made it better for me. It's much more enjoyable now.

1170
01:12:33.920 --> 01:12:34.160
Sure.

1171
01:12:35.120 --> 01:12:41.840
One problem I had with that though is that even with the cutting it down, my end result was longer

1172
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:48.160
than a minute. So, then I really had to like really cut in, cut out breaths. So, I'm thinking that

1173
01:12:48.160 --> 01:12:55.600
what I would do is make it with errors the length it would be so I know, okay, that's less than a

1174
01:12:55.600 --> 01:13:02.720
minute. My content then I know is less than a minute and then do what you're talking about.

1175
01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:05.760
Because it drove me nuts cutting that thing down.

1176
01:13:08.400 --> 01:13:14.880
Yeah, you're going to pay for it in time. Either you're going to do a lot more takes or you're

1177
01:13:14.880 --> 01:13:21.120
going to spend a lot more time editing. So, just figure out which one. I prefer to sit and edit

1178
01:13:21.120 --> 01:13:26.800
it for hours. That's, I'd rather, but Lindsay likes to get it done perfectly and she'll just

1179
01:13:26.800 --> 01:13:35.040
do it over and over until it's right top to bottom. So, but yeah, that's good.

1180
01:13:37.200 --> 01:13:41.920
Awesome. Well, good discussion, guys. It was great hanging out. Hopefully, this was helpful.

1181
01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:46.640
And we'll be back on Thursday. Like I said, we'll do kind of a final call. If you guys have any

1182
01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:52.080
questions, definitely reach out if you have an email about what's coming up next. And we'll look

1183
01:13:52.080 --> 01:13:56.880
forward to seeing you on Thursday and do some celebration of everything that's happened last

1184
01:13:56.880 --> 01:14:02.480
little bit. So, awesome. We'll see you guys. Thanks so much. Bye. Bye, everybody.
