yeah you know and it's a lot more simple

51
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,040
than you think sometimes

52
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,599
it's a few gear choices to get in your

53
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,720
place

54
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:35,599
your space um but yeah go to video

00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:38,959
workshop so you can learn more about

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,920
what we did we made it free to everyone

58
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:42,560
and then we

59
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:43,519
we now have it as just a small paid

60
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,480
workshop but

61
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:48,080
it's about two and a half hours long

62
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,560
there's a workbook that goes along with

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,720
it

64
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,800
and we literally demonstrate step by

65
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,000
step what it looks like to plan

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,800
design and build your own home video

67
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,440
studio

68
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,840
not home video for home videos but your

69
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,040
home

70
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,920
office video studio and uh

71
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,400
and yeah and a big part of that is the

72
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,400
gear

73
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,720
choices and it's funny josh and i were

74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,280
talking beforehand because

75
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,280
video gear video equipment is kind of

76
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,200
like

77
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,519
iphones or the next coolest phone or

78
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,120
gear gadget out there because every

79
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:25,519
single year if not

80
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,680
it feels like every week or every month

81
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:30,640
they're announcing a new model

82
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,040
a new upgrade uh it makes you think that

83
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,239
they probably have 20 models already

84
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,280
um available on in their inventory

85
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:38,799
or they're like yeah we have the

86
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,920
technology we can do this but we're

87
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:42,400
going to wait

88
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,440
you know to get to this point and so um

89
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,040
because of that

90
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,040
the this there's a lot of decision

91
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,680
fatigue and a lot of like a lot of

92
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,959
overwhelm

93
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,040
you know you go to amazon you're like

94
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:53,760
hey i'm gonna search for video lighting

95
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,319
and there's thousands of options so the

96
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,080
question

97
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:00,959
becomes how do i choose the right gear

98
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,720
that i need for my space and for what i

99
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:05,920
need to do to create more

100
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,360
quality video content yeah

101
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,439
and i just think about the rabbit holes

102
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,799
that that just sends you down anyway i

103
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:12,080
mean like you start looking at things

104
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:14,000
and it's like okay well i'm gonna look

105
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,239
at this review or i'm gonna see like

106
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,440
do i need an led you know light panel or

107
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:19,280
do i need a

108
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,720
studio light or a soft box or a ring

109
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:23,759
light and it's just like

110
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,360
you know there's so much time what did

111
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:28,080
you call it fatigue

112
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,960
he's involved there yeah and it's just

113
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,000
it can get

114
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,680
really overwhelming um but but dallas

115
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,440
taking the time to kind of break things

116
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,120
up into stages and

117
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,960
talk about like all right here's our

118
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,160
levels you know level one camera gear

119
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,280
level two level three

120
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,680
we'll go over some of those um and

121
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:46,880
and what those entail uh but there is

122
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,000
there's a wealth of knowledge on the

123
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,639
internet i mean there are people out

124
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,560
there who are

125
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:51,840
telling you these things or like which

126
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,759
product to buy or whatever but we're

127
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:56,320
going to dive kind of deeper into

128
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:57,120
you know the those those different

129
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,280
levels

130
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,039
and why you would go with them or why

131
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:03,600
you would choose somebody like an agency

132
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:04,320
like video supply to provide your video

133
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,160
so

134
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:11,520
um i guess first off dylan why why

135
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,840
do people get so engaged in this gear

136
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,360
thing

137
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:15,280
and trying to look good on camera like

138
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,520
is there what are the pros and cons to

139
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,639
looking good on camera and to uh

140
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,360
investing in some of this stuff yeah

141
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:25,520
to me a big aspect and what i find with

142
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,560
a lot of clients we've worked with

143
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,120
is that it's the ability to stand out

144
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,720
visually there's a difference between

145
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,880
standing out visually and standing out

146
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,720
with your message

147
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,080
and with standing out visually when

148
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,960
people are scrolling

149
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,639
through their feed on facebook or name

150
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,320
your platform right where your audience

151
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,080
is

152
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,199
they're often going to stop and pay

153
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,680
attention when the video and the visual

154
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:52,400
stops or scroll and usually that scroll

155
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,600
stopping

156
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,840
visual is gonna come down to

157
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,039
your choice of cameras your choice of

158
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:02,319
equipment

159
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:06,000
um cause everyone and

160
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:07,840
their mom or grandma can go off and you

161
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,880
know record something on their phone

162
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:14,080
or their webcam that's directly on

163
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:17,440
their computer but what they

164
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,919
they can't do is and not everyone is

165
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,319
doing

166
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:21,360
is customizing their space and their

167
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,840
equipment

168
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,400
to make it look a lot more professional

169
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,840
um

170
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,400
and there's there's definitely a timer

171
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:30,800
in place you know like uh

172
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,479
videos can perform really well if not

173
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,199
even better sometimes than

174
00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:35,520
the most professional looking video um

175
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:38,720
but

176
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,120
why not feel confident and look good

177
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,720
while you're creating content and make

178
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,720
it as easy as possible

179
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,400
to hit record and get your message

180
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,160
shared and so that's

181
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:53,039
part of the goal with recommending these

182
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,479
different video equipment solutions

183
00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:56,479
and outlining these different levels of

184
00:06:54,479 --> 00:06:59,599
equipment is that it's customized

185
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:00,160
for any budget any business level you

186
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:02,000
are

187
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,520
and particularly for those who are

188
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,560
beginners who are not

189
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,240
super techy not very familiar with what

190
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,639
is available out there and what some of

191
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,919

uh and so let's just jump right in uh

193
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:19,520
level one the level one

194
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,240
of investment for your budget for video

195
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,280
equipment

196
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,919
is free you don't spend any money and

197
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,759
you use

198
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:27,759
literally the equipment that you have on

199
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:30,000
you um

200
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:31,680
it's just saying i heard years ago and i

201
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,680
love and love to use

202
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,800
is the best camera you have is the one

203
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,479
you have on you

204
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,000
so that's usually your webcam or your

205
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:39,680
phone right and that stuff's

206
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,120
free we'll put free in quotations by the

207
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,840
way you paid for it at one point of

208
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,319
course

209
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,039
yeah but it's it's no additional

210
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:48,080
investment

211
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:50,080
investment for you right now um and so

212
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,560
yeah josh what else would um say this

213
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,520
free

214
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,240
budget level look like for equipment

215
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,840
camera related lighting all that

216
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,360
yeah well you know it's it's kind of a

217
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,039
basic need these days

218
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,919
at least if you're in the united states

219
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:07,199
i think to have something like a laptop

220
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:09,680
um or a home computer or some sort of

221
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:13,280
uh you know computer device that has a

222
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,360
camera built in um you know so

223
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,160
my laptop's got a camera so basically

224
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,039
what we're talking about is things

225
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,319
you've already invested and you've

226
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:21,199
already spent the money it's a sunk

227
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:21,680
cost uh and you carry it with you so i

228
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,919
mean

229
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,919
flip phones back in 2005. i bought one

230
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:27,360
with a camera on it you know so i mean

231
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:28,400
you know they're they've been integrated

232
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,759
for

233
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,839
forever now um and so like my phone here

234
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,440
um you know i've got two lenses on the

235
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:37,360
back and you can use this for

236
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,120
lots of content creation i can i can

237
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,880
create blog posts i can create youtube

238
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000
videos i can edit it right here on the

239
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,000
phone and i can

240
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,200
upload it and it's just an amazing tool

241
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,720
so basically

242
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,040
um and and it's i think they're very

243
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,000
underutilized honestly

244
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,160
when it comes to the potential that

245
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,240
you've got in your pocket to be able to

246
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,320
share your message or to you know market

247
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,279
your product or your business

248
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,880
but really free is is really just

249
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,959
grabbing what you've got

250
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,480
and uh and there's so much that you can

251
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:08,399
do that like

252
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,080
even a fine-tuned professional will will

253
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:10,560
roll up to a shoot sometimes and be like

254
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,399
hey

255
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:14,160
i like this window light you know let's

256
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:16,000
just stand here and

257
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,680
and i'll either accent with one light

258
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,200
behind you and we can roll right and it

259
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:21,120
looks very professional so

260
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,279
speaking of which let me show you this

261
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,680
real quick so i've got an actual light

262
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:27,279
above me right here that i turned on but

263
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,800
i uh honestly for the last

264
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:29,920
month or so since i've been doing this

265
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,640
setup i'm gonna make sure i'm close to

266
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,800
the mic

267
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,720
uh i haven't always had it on so i'm i

268
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,399
still have the window behind it

269
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,320
as an option but i have this here just

270
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:40,480
in case it's dark

271
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,440
so i'm gonna turn it off my camera's

272
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,680
gonna auto adjust

273
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,560
but you'll find that see the lighting

274
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:47,279
still works yeah

275
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:47,760
really well um that's the nice thing

276
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,080
about

277
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,800
the camera settings i have is it auto

278
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,600
adjusts both

279
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,959
with focus but also with lighting um so

280
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,519
it still looks really good right you can

281
00:09:54,959 --> 00:10:00,320
still see my face that's the focus

282
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:01,760
um but this you know adding an

283
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,040
additional light which we'll talk about

284
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,880
in a second

285
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,640
helps out you know i'll be blown out for

286
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,760
just a second then i'll auto adjust

287
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,839
so that way yeah it's not too bright and

288
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,480
so yeah it does make a big difference

289
00:10:11,839 --> 00:10:15,920
um but natural light is honestly some of

290
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,880
the most flattering light you can have

291
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,800
out there

292
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:22,320
um never i i mean the free lights that

293
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,760
you have accessible

294
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,959
um if you don't have to

295
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:32,640
um try to avoid using house

296
00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:35,120
lamps or your ceiling lights in any way

297
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,200
yeah i've got mine and it's creating you

298
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,079
know downward shadows under my eyes

299
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,560
uh you know i'm i'm taking a pass here

300
00:10:40,079 --> 00:10:46,000
because i'm doing a podcast right but

301
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:48,880
no the uh audio first yeah yeah but um

302
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,560
but yeah exactly like um you can walk

303
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,760
into a room and say hey i'm gonna use

304
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,120
this large window that's gonna give me

305
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320
soft light and i'm gonna use a small

306
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,399
light behind me and then

307
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,440
you're not like you know packed in your

308
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,600
space with

309
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,720
with you know too much invasive gear and

310
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,519
whatnot but

311
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,959
uh but really level one is is is if

312
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:06,560
you've got the skills and the knowledge

313
00:11:04,959 --> 00:11:07,200
to be able to utilize the things around

314
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:10,480
you

315
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,240
um then uh then

316
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,680
you can make things happen you know you

317
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,880
can make things work and it

318
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:17,600
and uh you know if people do know who

319
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,240
you are or

320
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,839
you're easily recognized um sometimes it

321
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,399
doesn't matter like how good the image

322
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:23,839
is

323
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:24,959
it's just it's you and your message

324
00:11:23,839 --> 00:11:26,240
right you're already a trusted

325
00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:28,560
professional so

326
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,000
um but being able to step up to level

327
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:31,519
two and level three

328
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,760
and giving that more professional look

329
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:36,480
it definitely is scroll stopping

330
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,040
um and it's also desirable i mean you

331
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,560
when you

332
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,480
when you wanna invest the time and money

333
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:43,040
to be on camera and to share

334
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,320
yourself as a brand or or your you know

335
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,440
be the face of a brand

336
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,399
you want to look good and so you can

337
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,440
you can up the game a little bit and up

338
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:54,000
the image

339
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,720
and by doing so stop people in their

340
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,560
tracks

341
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,079
yeah so what do you think if you jumped

342
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:00,399
it to level two

343
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:03,040
jump to level two we were talking about

344
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:05,120
uh what gaming in arcades like old

345
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,480
old retro games before this and it's

346
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,480
we're gonna level up

347
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,519
you know you just powered up to level

348
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,639
two

349
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:13,360
um and in level two the budget's all

350
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:16,480
about

351
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,040
um investing really

352
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,720
uh like a hundred dollars to a thousand

353
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,760
dollars that range anything less than a

354
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,360
thousand dollars

355
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,560
and that includes for all that's

356
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,040
included for all your equipment by the

357
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:28,240
way

358
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:31,360
the camera lens lighting

359
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,440
audio uh there are options

360
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,680
to be able to do all of that for less

361
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,120
than a thousand dollars which is insane

362
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:42,240
uh i mean if if you um if you

363
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,320
minus this light um

364
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,600
i mean you know if i kind of go down the

365
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,079
bare bones

366
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,639
um you know i technically have a level

367
00:12:48,079 --> 00:12:52,079
three

368
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:54,320
gear but the budget is could be

369
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:55,839
around two to three thousand dollars so

370
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,480
it's not much more

371
00:12:55,839 --> 00:12:59,200
um and granted that's part of our

372
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,079
business

373
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,720
is the this content quality side but

374
00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:06,880
yeah in level two

375
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,079
it's it's all about focusing on um kind

376
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,160
of the trifecta

377
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:12,000
of video equipment that is the camera

378
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,880
choice the lighting choice and the audio

379
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,160
choice

380
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,839
um without one you're kind of it's kind

381
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,720
of like you're missing one leg

382
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:22,240
on your three-legged stool um they all

383
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,160
balance each other out

384
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,360
uh you know you find that with a nice

385
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,880
camera and a nice

386
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,800
lens you know as that package deal then

387
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,399
what's complimented well with that is a

388
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,320
quality microphone you definitely want

389
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:36,399
to have a quality microphone

390
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,360
and then quality lighting and i would

391
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:40,240
put

392
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,040
i would in fact put quality audio as

393
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,199
number one

394
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,160
and then quality images number two and

395
00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:47,279
then quality

396
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,440
lighting as number three um

397
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:50,399
but yeah like do we have different gear

398
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,720
recommendations

399
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,399
available um in the workbook for solo

400
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,399
creators um

401
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,920
but what i'm just as a quick reference

402
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:01,199
what i'm using here

403
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:03,920
is a canon eos r um

404
00:14:01,199 --> 00:14:04,880
but there are plenty of dslr style

405
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,240
cameras

406
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,560
that allow you to then plug in

407
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,959
with the usb cable and then put it into

408
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:16,880
your computer

409
00:14:12,959 --> 00:14:20,160
and josh and i often use cam link

410
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:23,120
uh 4k by elgato

411
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,079
and it's just an easy way to plug it

412
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,480
into your computer so it

413
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:27,920
acts as a webcam so like whenever i

414
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,920
could be on a zoom call

415
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,800
with a client you know i could be doing

416
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,880
this podcast i can be recording videos

417
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,800
um you may even find sometimes i look

418
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,120
down because we're broadcasting this

419
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,440
right

420
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,399
so i can see what i'm looking uh like

421
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,040
what i look like

422
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:44,000
and kind of test the lighting that way

423
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,839
another key element

424
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,279
too is an autofocus lens because you'll

425
00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:49,440
find if i'm

426
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,399
going clear back here i could be out of

427
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,000
focus

428
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:56,240
um and so luckily like a built-in webcam

429
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,079
helps autofocus but makes it look pretty

430
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,199
good and then my microphone

431
00:14:58,079 --> 00:15:03,600
um this is a sign

432
00:15:01,199 --> 00:15:05,440
houser i don't even know saying how's it

433
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,079
going sennheiser see it's

434
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,720
it's a german name right yeah german

435
00:15:08,079 --> 00:15:12,000
brand

436
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,000
so it's plugged into an audio mixer

437
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,240
on our box and so i should just take it

438
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,120
behind the scenes shot and post it

439
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,560
mm-hmm yeah the uh but really you can

440
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,079
get you can get into this level two you

441
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,560
can get some really good stuff in level

442
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:24,839
two and

443
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,720
the reason being is because you can

444
00:15:24,839 --> 00:15:28,720
really uh

445
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,320
you can really dive into some used gear

446
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,320
that functions

447
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,600
extremely well you know especially if

448
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,720
you're just gonna be using it as a

449
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:39,440
as a you know a better

450
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,920
image producing webcam so like me if you

451
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,959
look at me i've got i've got a regular

452
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,959
uh webcam on the top of my monitor

453
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:48,399
and i don't get any depth of field which

454
00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:50,560
means basically

455
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:51,680
if you look at the image that down has

456
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,519
um he's

457
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,959
sharp and in focus but what's behind him

458
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:58,560
is not and so

459
00:15:54,959 --> 00:16:00,240
um so that it's this nice focus that's

460
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,399
there on dallain but for me the whole

461
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,199
thing's in focus and you know

462
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:06,720
zoom and other apps have the ability to

463
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:08,079
you know at a click of a button they try

464
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:12,079
to blur what's not

465
00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:15,120
the subject um but it's it's noticeable

466
00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:15,920
um and and it's not really that

467
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,560
desirable

468
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,440
uh it gets the job done but yeah in the

469
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,680
in the 100

470
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,800
000 range you can easily get stuff that

471
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,720
uh

472
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,160
that performs well and and some of that

473
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,199
is just accessories like

474
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:32,240
i've got um so with my phone case

475
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:34,399
uh this is from moment and i've got also

476
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,079
a lens that i bought to give me a

477
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:39,199
specific look that i want

478
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:40,079
um and so this is an anamorphic lens for

479
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:42,320
my phone

480
00:16:40,079 --> 00:16:44,399
and what all i do here is i click it or

481
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,639
i uh i twist it here

482
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:47,920
in the phone and now i've got an

483
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,360
anamorphic lens and if you don't know

484
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,240
what that is it just basically stretches

485
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,279
the image

486
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,959
um and this one's got some lens flares

487
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:56,399
so it's pretty cool and i've used it a

488
00:16:54,959 --> 00:16:57,600
bunch and it gets this really wide

489
00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,759
beautiful image and

490
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,519
um you know moment's got an app but but

491
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:02,720
that setup here you know you buy the

492
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:05,199
case and you buy the

493
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,559
the lens i think i spent 130 dollars to

494
00:17:05,199 --> 00:17:09,679
get a different look

495
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:11,039
you know out of my free system so um you

496
00:17:09,679 --> 00:17:12,319
know level two would be

497
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:14,640
buying something like a lens for your

498
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,360
camera or getting a nice microphone that

499
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,400
you can

500
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:20,319
plug into your iphone or your uh

501
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,439
you know cell phone that you can get

502
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:23,600
better audio

503
00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:24,720
but really you're you're taking the tool

504
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,959
available to you and you're and you're

505
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:30,160
leveling up so that

506
00:17:26,959 --> 00:17:32,960
you get prime audio and and also uh

507
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,240
you know a better image so so really

508
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,720
really there are people out there on

509
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,880
youtube

510
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,760
who are making videos about how to

511
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,400
create your own

512
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,080
like youtube studio on one desk for

513
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,280
under a thousand dollars

514
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,679
and you get a really good look with

515
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,039
depth of field so so really if you want

516
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:50,000
to level it up

517
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:51,200
um it doesn't take much so yeah it

518
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,520
doesn't well

519
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,039
and it's a big aspect of this and a lot

520
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,160
of people i know bring this up as a

521
00:17:55,039 --> 00:17:58,960
concern

522
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,480
uh is your space and what's available

523
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,600
sometimes

524
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,559
your office at home is also doubles as

525
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,000
your bedroom

526
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:09,039
or as a kids playroom part of the day

527
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,640
and so

528
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:12,640
you may think that hey it's not

529
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,799
realistic to always keep this equipment

530
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,840
set up and at the ready

531
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:20,640
um or if i do keep it set up

532
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,480
how do i know how to operate it or do

533
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,799
how do i know what gear works for the

534
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,760
dimensions of my room

535
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:28,320
because there's a lot of things to

536
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,720
consider for example this camera

537
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,360
which has an auto focus lens you know

538
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,919
it's

539
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:35,440
shifting as needed um i literally shove

540
00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:36,799
into one corner of the room so that way

541
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,679
i have as much space

542
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:41,039
behind me to create that blurry

543
00:18:39,679 --> 00:18:43,440
background that josh

544
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:44,240
said is you know the depth of field and

545
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,000
so

546
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,679
understanding the space of the room and

547
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,720
then literally

548
00:18:47,679 --> 00:18:54,400
designing what shows up behind you

549
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,000
everything within frame um if i go to a

550
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,559
wide shot here

551
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,160
i didn't maybe consider all the the side

552
00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:01,600
details

553
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,200
right where you can see in the lower

554
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,480
corners

555
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,799
i've got parts from my desk behind me

556
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,679
that i typically remove or this tree

557
00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:14,960
behind me i usually move over

558
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:16,720
as well but just

559
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,320
there's a lot of details to consider but

560
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,440
the simple side of it is

561
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:24,240
first start with a quality microphone

562
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,919
and a quality camera um and you can do

563
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,799
all of this under a thousand dollars

564
00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:29,200
plug it into your your computer and then

565
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:32,000
um

566
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,559
with a cam like 4k and be off to the

567
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,200
races

568
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:35,760
and start to look pretty good um i mean

569
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,720
yeah

570
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,000
i'm a handsome guy but you know making

571
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,320
this

572
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,440
i couldn't get through that way but but

573
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,400
adding these additional

574
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,440
equipment choices really helps you feel

575
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,320
more confident

576
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,480
um even if you don't shower that day or

577
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,039
you don't do your hair you got a bad

578
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,960
head i i kind of laugh sometimes because

579
00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:58,640
um josh and i both work from home you

580
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,440
know we run our business

581
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,240
in a distributed way virtually and

582
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,559
there's some days

583
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,280
we shower late in the day or like i

584
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,840
realized i

585
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,880
should have gotten rid of my bed head

586
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,080
but but guess what

587
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:15,120
those details aren't near as noticeable

588
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,080
when you can hide them with how you

589
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:18,080
light yourself

590
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,600
and the different video equipment

591
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,240
choices you have

592
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,640
um anyways enough about me with um with

593
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,000
how

594
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:29,120
good looking i think i am

595
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,880
um but level three equipment so

596
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:32,159
this is all everything a thousand

597
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,400
dollars or more

598
00:20:32,159 --> 00:20:35,760
uh and as i as i mentioned this setup

599
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,799
i'll share behind the scenes image in

600
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,840
the comments

601
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:42,080
uh down below is uh several thousand

602
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,159
dollars so it's in level three

603
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,120
um and one thing to ask yourself before

604
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:48,080
you go off and invest

605
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,400
thousands of dollars in equipment is are

606
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400
you

607
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,679
interested in becoming more more of a

608
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,799
professional

609
00:20:51,679 --> 00:20:55,679
solo creator um filming all professional

610
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:58,240
looking videos

611
00:20:55,679 --> 00:21:00,400
by yourself uh and getting that cover

612
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,799
zone where you know exactly how to do it

613
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,400
there's tech is no longer an issue if

614
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:07,360
that's a big yes

615
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,120
then by all means like invest in the

616
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:11,280
equipment that we recommend

617
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:12,720
but if you're like well like i just want

618
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,039
some decent stuff

619
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,159
but when i go to film a lot of my

620
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:17,440
professional videos

621
00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:18,640
i just want someone else to do it i

622
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,840
don't have to worry about any i don't

623
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,480
want to have to worry about any of the

624
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,799
tech

625
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,640
then that's when you go and hire an

626
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:26,720
agency to do it for you

627
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,159
um and and that's definitely a big

628
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,960
question to ask yourself before you jump

629
00:21:28,159 --> 00:21:30,400
into this

630
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,320
but in level three like that's where you

631
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,000
can start getting into some of the best

632
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,320
gear that's out there

633
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,840
and it's actually doesn't have to break

634
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,080
the bank um

635
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,159
particularly if you're in business and

636
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,520
content is a variable which it is for

637
00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:44,320
every business who's interested in

638
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,120
growing

639
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,159
and doing marketing to actually get them

640
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,480
more visible

641
00:21:48,159 --> 00:21:52,080
capture attention and and get the sell

642
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,120
the leads and sales that they need to

643
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,400
grow

644
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:59,039
that's everyone content is

645
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,640
essential video is essential and so in

646
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:02,320
order to create more professional

647
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,200
looking content

648
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,480
then definitely invest in the level two

649
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,600
and three equipment

650
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,960
solutions yeah i think so and i think

651
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,720
that uh

652
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:16,559
there's there's also a component of the

653
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,159
the more expensive or the level three

654
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:22,000
equipment in that

655
00:22:18,159 --> 00:22:24,240
uh typically tends to be longer lasting

656
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,520
so i took an audio production class in

657
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,120
college and this was

658
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,799
this is i think this class i took in

659
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:31,520
maybe 2010

660
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:33,600
um maybe it's 2009 but basically i'm i'm

661
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,159
using the mic that i bought

662
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,600
for that class um he's like hey i kind

663
00:22:36,159 --> 00:22:38,320
of scored a deal for you guys if you

664
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,760
want this

665
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,520
you know audio interface and a

666
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,799
microphone and a microphone stand

667
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,200
so that basically you can record

668
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:47,600
whatever uh you know

669
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,720
so i think we spent 200 and i got a kit

670
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,360
that's got this

671
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,200
um this dynamic microphone and an xlr

672
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:54,400
cable a stand and an interface and i've

673
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,880
and

674
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,600
actually have used it to create an album

675
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,000
like

676
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,919
my uh friend and i had a band in in

677
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,159
college and we made a whole album

678
00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:05,520
so basically like i'm still using that

679
00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:09,280
gear you know this is

680
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,960
uh 11 years old now to me and so

681
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,400
it's functioning great so yeah you're

682
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,520
gonna get some longevity out of your

683
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,200
investments

684
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,720
and um and and when you get there you

685
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,520
know i don't wanna downplay like

686
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,000
the the professionalism that's required

687
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,559
to operate

688
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,039
that equipment when you start getting up

689
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:26,880
there

690
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:28,720
but once you figure it out then yeah a

691
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,799
lot of headaches start going away

692
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,640
yeah well now that was the biggest thing

693
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:34,320
i mean i guess the first question before

694
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,840
i move forward is

695
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:40,880
josh what was your band's name yeah

696
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,240
chasing abigail actually yes that's

697
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,520
awesome

698
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,200
yeah you might be able to find us on

699
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,720
itunes still but we've got we've got

700
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:51,279
stuff all over the place i'm sure

701
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:54,080
yeah you can just type facing abigail

702
00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:55,360
um yeah and that's that's the biggest

703
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,120
thing i recognize you know

704
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:58,720
if you feel like you're a perfectionist

705
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:01,360
or even an imposter

706
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,279
you know you feel like an imposter um

707
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:03,600
what some of the easiest ways to resolve

708
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:07,200
that

709
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:09,440
is to make the activities you know you

710
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:13,360
need to do as frictionless as possible

711
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,360
remove all the barriers and i recognized

712
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,559
i recognize there there are really three

713
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,720
primary barriers

714
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:20,159
that keep people from creating content

715
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,200
there's

716
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:25,039
technology there's environment and

717
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,440
there's mindset

718
00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:29,200
so mindset is internal that's the

719
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,240
hardest one to overcome that's

720
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,799
be when you're thinking you're

721
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,720
perfectionist or you're an imposter

722
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:36,080
and you have to fight through those

723
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,480
barriers um

724
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,279
but why not solve for the other two to

725
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,799
make it

726
00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:44,640
much more easy uh or easier to uh

727
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,840
to create content and so that's what i

728
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,720
did personally for myself i was like

729
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,520
okay i need a

730
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,360
dedicated space so my environment needs

731
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,240
to be set up for success so i can create

732
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,520
content

733
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,320
as easily as possible so i have my own

734
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,559
office

735
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,600
in my home which is incredible and the

736
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:02,080
technology

737
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,440
so i i love technology i'm kind of a

738
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,480
tech geek

739
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:09,039
and so my tech is always set up and so

740
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,679
literally within a matter of seconds in

741
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:12,960
like

742
00:25:09,679 --> 00:25:14,559
three the click of a few buttons i can

743
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,400
be recording and

744
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:18,080
have you know the light the camera the

745
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,400
audio everything's set up

746
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,840
um all the time and so it removes that

747
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,960
friction and so

748
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,880
the only excuse that i have is that

749
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,320
oh i'm not feeling up to it or i feel

750
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,440
like an introvert today because i

751
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,960
have used those excuses before um or i'm

752
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,159
too busy you know like all those are

753
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,840
mindset related

754
00:25:34,159 --> 00:25:37,679
and that's a whole nother thing to

755
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,840
resolve for yourself

756
00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:42,000
um but but recognize that there are

757
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:45,279
those three barriers that do exist

758
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,760
and that our hope is that through

759
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,480
implementing these video gear and

760
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,360

761
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,840
solutions you can eliminate two of those

762
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:54,480
three

763
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,240
roadblocks and make it as easy as

764
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,520
