Howdy Reader! Quick heads up before you go looking for us this Friday: the lights are off. No Creator News Live at 10 am. No Maker's Table at 1 pm. For this Friday, your usual lineup is taking the day off. Here's the skinny... I just wrapped up speaking at Digital Day Wichita (one of the first conferences I ever spoke at when I was a wee lad and also so cool to be back in the state I was born in!), and between that and a little scheduling snafu on our end, the timing just didn't line up for this Friday. So no, your email didn't glitch, and you didn't miss a link. We're just genuinely, officially dark for one Friday. A couple of things while we're away. If you miss our faces that much (I'd look at talking with someone about that), the back catalog has you covered. Go binge old episodes of Creator News Live or catch up on The Maker's Table any time the mood strikes. And if you'd rather spend the time you graciously give us each week elsewhere, consider this your permission slip to reclaim that hour (or two). Go for a walk, clear your inbox, take a nap. No judgment either way. And if you had a burning question you were going to bring to a live show, don't sit on it. Hit reply and send it my way. I read every single one, and the good ones have a way of turning into whole episodes. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled chaos next Friday. Same times, same channels, hopefully we'll see you there! See ya around the interwebs, P.S. The irony of canceling two shows in the same breath where I usually preach consistency? Not lost on me. For the record, the thing that keeps me consistent the other 51 weeks of the year is my setup. Ecamm's Dual Mode lets me make more content without more effort, which is exactly how one guy pulls off two weekly shows. Get 15% off Ecamm with code JEFF15. |

Howdy Reader! We ran out of show before we ran out of your questions last episode. This Friday, we settle up. And we're doing it without a guest. This week, it's just Paul Gowder and me in the hot seats, two longtime creators comparing notes from decades of building shows, brands, and communities online. Because here's the thing. AI can write your posts and clone your voice, but it can't tell your story and it can't build your community. Those two skills are the whole ballgame now, and we're...
Howdy Reader! In the last three weeks, YouTube quietly rewrote the rules for creators. Most people haven't caught up yet. Today, we're sitting down with Jerry Potter, a 150,000-subscriber YouTube creator and host of the Done By Lunch Entrepreneurs podcast. Jerry spent 20 years in broadcast and now teaches entrepreneurs how to build a business in half the time using high-leverage assets like YouTube channels and podcasts. He's joining us to translate the biggest YouTube shake-up we've seen in...
Howdy Reader! I get asked this one constantly. How in the world do you keep up with all the AI news that drops every single day? Great question. The honest answer is that nobody keeps up. Not really. Keeping up with AI is like trying to drink from a firehose while the firehose is also learning, improving, and quietly launching a competitor to itself. The big accounts feel behind. The tiny users feel behind. The person who looks like they have it all figured out is, I promise you, refreshing...
