I just recorded and edited my first episode of my first podcast, and I just have to say, holy crap I use "um" and "uh" A TON!!! Work on those filler words people. Watch yourself and do whatever you need to do in order to get rid of those. I'm sure I'll look back at this in 50 episodes and just cringe even more than I am now. Any tips from anyone on what has worked for them to stop using these crutch words?

I’d love to figure out streaming, and while I keep hearing OBS as a top free contender, there are other things I’d love to have as a feature that require additional software add ons as far as I can tell with my research tonight. Features I’d love to figure out are: 1-stream with a text overlay of all the different platform chats combine so that no one audience feels left out of the convo and I’m not talking to any segmented audience. 2- on command overlay triggers (like fun inside joke animations that I can make and press a button to get it to work. I have a stream deck that I suspect can achieve this but I’m not clear on how OBS and the stream deck play together. If there are alternative processes I’m open to hearing them.) 3-any top suggested permanent overlay structure layouts 4-running a stopwatch timer on screen. 5-streaming from my phone to multiple places (I do own a DSLR if that’s the more preferred method) 6-streaming both horizontal and vertical video. WHEW! Ok, those are the big questions I have and I’d love to hear any solutions or suggestions this group has to help me out on some top questions that came out of my research tonight. OR! Even if it’s just getting a simple stream up before adding all the extra dressings I’d love to have I’m open to that. Is OBS the place to even start? Thanks!

Can LIVES be done on SKOOL?

I've seen posts about social media and marketing and wanted to share where I'm at with it and I hope it helps... I was trying to do it all and it was burning me out and was taking many hours a day to do... I decided I'm going to pick 1 platform and focus on it consistently and add others as I get better and I can. With what I'm doing I decided to post my Podcast video episode and 1 other video weekly on YouTube and to learn that and get better with it. YouTube and Google are powerful and I want to hack that first. What's been all your experiences and what has worked the best for you in reaching and connecting with your ideal audience?
