Howdy Reader! In July, Marielou Mandl shipped more than nine client videos, did on-site production, and got engaged. She still felt like she had done nothing. It wasn't that she hadn't worked. It was that none of the work was hers. Client work comes with a deadline and someone waiting on it, and her own channel came with neither, so it got put on the back burner every time. Now, every Friday, her company books her as the client. The project gets shot, edited, and published that same day, or it doesn't happen. Today we're sitting down with Marielou, a host and producer with more than twenty years on camera, an Ecamm Ambassador, and the founder of Video Creator Club. She has been documenting all of this in public, including the weeks it falls apart. We're exploring: → Why the busiest creators feel like they got nothing done Come watch live and put your questions in the chat. Join us live TODAY, Friday, September 25 at 10 AM Central See ya there!

Howdy Reader! Truth time... This one's going to be short. (I know. You're devastated.) I'm getting ready to speak at Ecamm's Creator Camp, and right after that I head to Momentum. That's two stages back-to-back, so my life right now is slide decks, clicker tests, and rehearsing out loud to an empty office like a man who lost an argument with his imaginary AI friend. So this time YOU do the talking. You've sat through more presentations than you can count (conferences, webinars, that one...
Howdy Reader! Kirk Nugent tried to buy kirknugent.com and couldn't. Another Kirk Nugent, a poet and speaker, already owned it. So Kirk added his middle initial, took a nickname nobody else has, the Geek Speaker Preacher, and started deciding for himself what shows up when people search for him. Most of us have never looked. Kirk does this for a living, and it still happened to him. Today we're sitting down with Kirk, an online video coach and former IT executive whose career ran from NASA to...
Howdy Reader! I have a confession. When Lou Mongello came on Creator News Live this month, I asked our audience whether they'd ever met somebody whose work shaped them, and Lou accused ME of fishing for compliments (bless his heart...), live, in front of everybody. Then we tried to remember how we met, and our stories don't match. One involves a golden throne. The other involves Lou as Snow White, and I've been trying to get that picture out of my head ever since. Gustave Flaubert warned...
