Confession: I'm about to talk at you (twice)
|
Howdy Reader! Truth time... 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 church potluck where somebody brought a projector). Hit reply and tell me two things. First, what's your biggest pet peeve when you're watching a speaker? I mean the thing that makes you reach for your phone, or quietly plan your escape to the snack table. (If it's the speaker who reads the slides out loud word for word, I'll have you know I only do that when I need help sounding out the big words.) Second, what's the one thing a speaker did that you still think about? I'm looking for the moment that stuck with you long after the lanyard went in a drawer. A one-liner is great, and so is a full rant. I'll read every one, and I promise to only steal the good ideas. See ya around the interwebs! -Jeff P.S. If you'll be at Creator Camp or Momentum, come find me and give me your answer in person. I'll be the guy near the stage doing box breathing exercises. |

Howdy Reader! You can go live on Substack with 10 free subscribers. Ten. And you can email every one of them the moment you start, so no algorithm gets a vote on who hears about it. I've been streaming for years, and I couldn't have told you that. I thought Substack was for writers. Today we're sitting down with Jim Fuhs, who's going to straighten me out. Jim is a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel who has been live streaming since 2018, and now he teaches creators how to use video on...
Howdy Reader! No Creator News Live last week. I was at Disneyland, getting the best arm workout of my adult life. This trip was supposed to happen back in March. Social Media Marketing World was in Anaheim, right next door to the parks, and I was speaking there. The plan was simple: give a talk, then go see THE mouse. Then my back went out, and the only ride I took that week was from the couch to the heating pad. So I moved the tickets and the hotel to line up with Lou Mongello's Haunts and...
Howdy Reader! Johnny Carson kept an arrow on a table behind his desk. It was a prop from a 1964 sketch that bombed. He kept it there so he'd never forget he could fall on his face on any night, and his writers wrote backup jokes, called "savers," for when the first ones died. That's how the most-watched man in late night stayed on top for nearly 30 years. He planned for the flop. Today, on what would have been Johnny's 101st birthday, we're sitting down with Mark Malkoff. Mark hosted The...
