Creating Daily

John Svedese is an incredible creator from podcasting to comic book illustration. He's brain (much like the rest of us) is moving pretty fast with a ton of ideas and projects. I'm not 100% sure if this is going to be a "how to" manage that process or a therapy session for both of us. But it'll be fun!

This is you know, people make fun of me because 27 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.200 I wear a black shirt all the time, so I've been trying to mix 28 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.319 it up. So black with some palm trees on it and a little sunset. 29 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.519 I mean, I am in Puerto Rico, so I'm like, okay, 30 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.480 whatever, maybe it's maybe that's cool. I'm here for I'm here for 31 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.879 like twenty, twenty one more days. Okay, so I got twenty one 32 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.000 more days. I'm just going to enjoy it and we're funky looking. Shure, 33 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.359 it's not, not, not really, just this one time, all 34 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.200 right. So anyway, let's get into a couple segments before we bring John 35 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:13.840 on in. The first segment is that's news to me creating daily. All 36 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.599 right, so today's news for you is that facebook has pod fades. I 37 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.439 meant pod faded. I spelled that wrong. If you're wanted on the screen, 38 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.080 is is one of those days. I do this every Monday through Friday, 39 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.960 so you think I would be better at spelling by now. That I've 40 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.120 been doing for a long time. Anyway. So facebook has pod faded. 41 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.199 I'm if you've heard about this or not, but they just announced, I'm 42 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:42.039 earlier this week, that just after a year of announcing that they were getting 43 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.520 into the podcast game, now they are announcing that they are getting out of 44 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.319 the podcast game. So we've all been, I know all you podcasters, 45 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.520 we've all been zucked into thinking that podcast or that facebook actually like podcast. 46 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.319 But facebook was like Mesh te verse and now they're just focused on the metaverse 47 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.039 more so, to my knowledge, I believe all of those things are going 48 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.520 away, like all of audio stuff, social audio rooms all that kind of 49 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.120 fun stuff. Or maybe the audio live rooms are going to be a part 50 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.319 of their facebook alive program but anyway, podcasters, I'm sorry. If you 51 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:22.000 were looking forward to putting your podcast on Facebook, you can no longer do 52 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.520 that and I believe they're doing away with the whole program by June third. 53 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.759 So we get about another month. However, I don't think their stats are 54 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.080 very good. I think they're like zero point three percent of all downloads for 55 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.039 like the last month or last year or something crazy. I don't really keep 56 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.879 up with all that stuff. I don't really care about Mark Zuckerberg, but 57 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.000 just taught you no want to know. All Right, here we go. 58 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:46.560 Created highlights, no cooking necessary and no assembly required. It's got to be 59 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.159 fuck all right.

So I'm 78 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.639 taking all this gear and stuff and I'm going back to North Carolina and I 79 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.639 have some more gear and stuff there.

So all right, I'm back. I'm back. I'm 83 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:24.319 not frazzled anymore. I'm not frazzled. All the nerves are out. John's 84 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.839 coming up. I get my friend John Right here and it's better work. 85 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.199 What is building? Has It going on? Good man, how are you? 86 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.759 Thank you very very much for having me on the show today. Appreciate 87 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.959 it. Yeah, man, well, I'm excited. Dude. You and 88 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:43.079 I've connected several times throughout the last few years really in the podcasting space and 89 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.120 you know, you got the vod squad, so you're really in the live 90 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.800 streaming and video and in all that kind of fun stuff. And then I 91 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:55.199 recently learned like you're an artist and comic, book guard and oil paintings and 92 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.600 all kinds of stuff I didn't know. So I was you know, you 93 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.079 and I were talking the other day actually on facebook rooms or whatever they call 94 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.959 it, and and I was like, man, you do a lot of 95 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.639 stuff. How in the world do you keep all that under your at and 96 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.439 keep it organized? So maybe maybe, like I said earlier, maybe this 97 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.560 is maybe we'll figure that out. Or maybe it'd be a therapy session for 98 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.800 both of us, or maybe we'll just come up with something different, but 99 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.720 anyway, maybe. So, maybe for people who are like who is John? 100 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.160 Give us a little run down, because I don't normally do this on 101 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.600 the show, but I'd love for people to know a little bit more about 102 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.720 you. Sure, my name is John. I've been podcasting for just about 103 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:40.560 three years now and you know, I've started multiple shows and have youtube channels 104 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:46.480 and I'm an artist and I we just dropped a very own comic book the 105 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.079 Other Day. I just I have my hands and so many different things as 106 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.720 far as creation goes, as far as podcasting and and vodka, casting, 107 00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.319 live streaming and art, and it's just billy. It's so much. Yeah, 108 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.560 it's just how do you how do you keep up with it? Do 109 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.920 you have like a big whiteboard on your wall that says today I'm a Podcaster, 110 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.600 tomorrow I'm a live streamer, like, how does that work? It's 111 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.079 funny because I do. I do actually have a big white board over there, 112 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.639 but I used it maybe once and and then I like I just forgot 113 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:26.439 about it. But no, I have a I have my schedule on on 114 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.160 an APP on my phone and it's just all about scheduling your time, you 115 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.839 know, and just setting out brackets of time for each specific topic or subject 116 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.360 that you're talking about, oh, that you have to work on and you 117 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.959 know, and it's just it's a lot of organization. So if you're not 118 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.519 an organized person or maybe chaos works for you. I know for me sometimes, 119 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.399 you know, here in the studio it's a mess. You know, 120 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.839 I have cups and bowls and all my work all over my desk and my 121 00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:01.600 wife yells at me and it's just yeah, so it chaos can can be 122 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:07.920 good if that's how if that's how you keep inspired. Yeah, but but 123 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.759 for me it's a it's a little bit of a mixture of both. You 124 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.279 know, I have to have my schedule, you know, scheduled and then 125 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.120 organized and then but in around my studio I have things all over the place. 126 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.920 So yeah, so do you feel like like my wife is an artist, 127 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.279 so she's a graphic designer. She she liked paints and stuff. Is 128 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.480 like, you know, hobby and trawls and stuff like that, but and 129 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.639 she's like just a messy person in general. Are you that way or you 130 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.759 just kind of messy or are you kind of like I'm want to tidy up 131 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.799 and then get messy? She's got a couple. Well, my wife's actually 132 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.600 the same thing. My wife Paints also, she's a watercolor painter. Oh, 133 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.720 they cool. Yeah, so. But See, the thing is that 134 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.960 she her studios upstairs with the kids and the rest of the family. So 135 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.879 she's always getting bothered by the little ones and, you know, me, 136 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.200 I'm down here in the studio in the quiet, you know, and she's 137 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.200 so she's always yelling at me. But but for me, I think it 138 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.759 depends what I'm doing, like podcasting or vodcasting right now, you know, 139 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.519 I cleaned up literally just behind me, what you can see. Yeah, 140 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:22.159 if I'm painting, if I'm painting which take a closer look. Yeah, 141 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.639 if I'm painting, which is literally right behind me, I need to have 142 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.159 that clean, you know, and and have everything where I need it this 143 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.480 way, because when I am painting and creating, I like to have everything 144 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.320 in the hands reach, you know. Yeah, that makes sense, man, 145 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.399 that makes sense. I you know, I don't know that I would 146 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.639 call myself that type of Creator. I did own a screen printing business, 147 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:48.279 but dude, I hate it every second of like creating screens and inks and 148 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.720 all that kind of stuff. That's got to be messy. Yeah, dude, 149 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.039 it was. It was pretty horrific. So so, Mane. So 150 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.440 when did you like start on this creator journey, because, I mean, 151 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.799 I don't once again, you're kind of odd man out here, because I'm 152 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.279 just really curious, but I don't normally ask these types of questions. I 153 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.480 really get into like how to stuff. But when did you like did you 154 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.200 wake up when you're like five and like, I love to paint, or 155 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.039 how did that happen for you? For me, it was always cartoons and 156 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.919 comic books, you know. So when I was a kid, I try 157 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.559 to draw what I seen on TV or I try to draw what I've seen 158 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:30.000 in the books. And my mom, she was into advertising for Technology Company 159 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:35.600 and called the Whiz, and so she was in that department and I used 160 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.559 to go to work with her, you know, and so I was huge 161 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.879 into art, comics, cartoons, and at home my mom had a drafting 162 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.480 table, so I used to always sit at the drafting table and draw my 163 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.559 little stuff. And Yeah, as far as oil painting goes, that's just 164 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.200 it's something I think that I evolved into because you know, comic books and 165 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.639 drawing with Pencils and inks were always my thing, but I think it was 166 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.720 just an evolution of what I wanted to do with my art. Okay, 167 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.840 Gotcha, man. So, so you kind of so you got into that. 168 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.759 So and this kind of I feel like that's how all creators are to 169 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.240 some extent, like we're like, you know, I started out. My 170 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.639 first real journey and creatorship was probably, I don't know, like maybe in 171 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.000 high school. You know, somebody was like hey, you, can you 172 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.200 play the guitar and I'm like no, and then they show me how to 173 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.600 play a Bass Guitar and I was like Oh that's cool. Now learned how 174 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.519 to play Real Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, and then, you know, keys 175 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.759 and all this other stuff, and maybe drums, a little bit, not 176 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.440 not a lot. I should probably take that off the list actually, but 177 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.840 it seems like that's kind of it, like you get this little taste of 178 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.919 being a creator being, you know, I kind of getting that creative process 179 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.600 moving in the kind of move into levels of that. So you said Eli 180 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.720 podcasting and vodka casting for like three years. So how did that come into 181 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.559 the mix? Like what attracted you to to this, this part of Creator. 182 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.240 Um, I think that that that was really just me wanting to pick 183 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.399 up another hobby and hang out with my friend, because one of my first 184 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.039 shows was a show I did with with a cohost of mine, my friend 185 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.120 of mine, and you know, so we would literally just hang out, 186 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.480 just shoot the breeze and talk about old times, talk about, you know, 187 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.159 Brooklyn, New York, which is where I'm from, and you know, 188 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.159 and just the good old days and just movies, video games, general 189 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.480 discussion stuff, and you know, it was it was a lot of fun. 190 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.080 You know, I was like I go over to my friend, his 191 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:37.720 name is frank, you know. I said, Hey, frank, you 192 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:43.559 know, let's start a podcast. He's like what, and and I was 193 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.039 yeah, let's let's do it. You know, like I'm listening to all 194 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.879 these people on, you know, apple podcasts and I'm loving the show and 195 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.279 I think I have a great idea for a format, a great idea for 196 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.879 the way the show should go. And you know, that's what we did. 197 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.000 You know, first it was just audio and then a couple of months 198 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:07.720 later we introduced a camera and it just took off from there. Okay, 199 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.440 Gotcha, man. So well, I was going to ask you like when 200 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.720 you're because this is, you know, something I'm curious about because I I 201 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.480 guess my wife probably keeps me accountable. But you know, because I have 202 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.519 a lot of ideas. Man, like you know, born bread, kind 203 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.679 of an entrepreneur by heart, by nature, but I've never wanted to go 204 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.320 punch of time. I will, I'll go punch time clock, but I 205 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.240 have to. But I don't really want to do that. I want to 206 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.919 work for myself. But oftentimes, before I moved to Puerto Rico, man, 207 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.039 I was kind of scattered, like I'd be doing my t shirt business 208 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.080 and then some other opportunity to come along. I like, well, dabble 209 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.960 that for a minute. Still kind of do the t shirts on the side. 210 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.600 Do you find yourself kind of doing that as a creator, or you 211 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.919 are you focus, like I'm doing illustrations for comic books and working with people, 212 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.240 you know, as an artist, and then I'm doing podcasting. It's 213 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.600 like a hobby. Or How do you separate those? Again, it comes 214 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.159 down to organizing your time, you know, because if you want to do 215 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.519 something wholeheartedly and at a hundred percent, you have to dedicate time to it 216 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.159 because you know you can't split your mind saying okay, I'm today, I 217 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.240 have to work on comic books, I have to record a podcast, I 218 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.919 have to edit video, I have to make social media pictures, you know, 219 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.960 and you have to bracket your time and work on specific things all at 220 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.279 once, at once to get the best effort you can. You know, 221 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:37.639 because I've noticed that. You know, I can set certain days to where, 222 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.200 okay, Monday, Wednesday and Friday I'll work on the comic book stuff, 223 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.200 Tuesday and Thursday and maybe even Saturday I can do the podcasting stuff. 224 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.799 So you know, you have to realize, okay, well, if I'm 225 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.000 going to drop a podcast on Monday's then you know I can't record any later 226 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.879 than Friday because then I have Saturday I have to at it and all that. 227 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.559 So you have to get everything ready for Monday. So you just it's 228 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:09.120 about organization, you know, I think, and you know again, if 229 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.919 you want, if you if you really really want to make a product, 230 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.759 to make a podcast, a show, a book, you have to devote 231 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.879 a hundred percent of your attention to it when you're working on it. Okay, 232 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.120 yeah, man, I like that thought because, you know, I 233 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.879 think a lot of times people and I'm not going to say people who aren't 234 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.679 creatives, because I don't think there's like a I don't think it's fair to 235 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.600 say who and who is. I think everyone is creative. It just depends 236 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.519 on like what projects. But people who tend to be real driven, for 237 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.440 one thing, I'll say it that way. They often look at my life, 238 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.679 for my wife's life, and like well, you guys should just focus 239 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.159 on one thing, like for forty hours a week. You shouldn't do anything 240 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.639 else. And we're both neither one of us are gear like that. So 241 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.399 we're you know, I'm working on this podcast, this daily show, I 242 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.279 get a fishing show I work on, I got Amazon live, you know, 243 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.480 business I'm working on. I'm also coaching a few people, for lack 244 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:08.600 of a better term, like helping them in their creator journey. And so 245 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.399 what you're right, it's don't try to be a hundred percent. You can't 246 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.600 be a hundred percent with everything all the time, but carve out that space 247 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.159 and be a hundred percent in that moment with that project. I like, 248 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.559 Hey, frame that up, because you know, oftentimes it's like I do 249 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.039 today. I do need to shoot this show, I do have a virtual 250 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.759 recording I'm doing for someone else. I do you have for podcasts that I 251 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:36.679 need to edit and get ready to publish for my other show in and sometimes 252 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.159 that is overwhelming it and it'll almost get to where, I don't know if 253 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:41.480 you're like this, man, but if I have too much to do, 254 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:47.320 if I get too mental about it, I will just pause and get paralyzed 255 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.159 and do nothing at all. And you find, yes, you find yourself 256 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.759 like that. Yes, yes, that happens quite often for me because, 257 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.320 especially in the morning, like I'll be tired, you know, and I'll 258 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.519 be like, all right, I have this, this, this and this 259 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.559 to do. I don't want to do any of it. But you have 260 00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.440 to, I think, to get out of that. You have to think 261 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.559 about how bad do you want it? Like for me, with comic books, 262 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.359 I've since I was a kid. I think every kid wants to have 263 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.759 their own comic book, you know, they want to draw and make their 264 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:19.880 own books, and for me that was it. You know, that was 265 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.000 a drive. I've always wanted my own book. I know I can draw, 266 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.359 I know I have the technology here in the studio to do it, 267 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.519 so I have to do it like it's just a dream come true, and 268 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.759 that's what I did and I built a an independent comic book publisher with a 269 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:40.799 partner and we just sprouted from there. You know, we signed on other 270 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.400 artists, we signed on other writers and we just got our first batch of 271 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.400 print the yesterday. Well, and gratulations, thank you very much. And 272 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:55.279 we got we got something like five Thou books here in the studio and we're 273 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.279 looking to sell them now, you know. So it's we're going to market. 274 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:02.680 We have conventions a signed up for the whole month of May all the 275 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:07.119 way up to July that we're making appearances and doing signings and it's just it's 276 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.880 amazing, you know, and you know, I couldn't have done that without 277 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.359 the structure, without the drive, you know, without saying, okay, 278 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.880 I've wanted this since I was five years old and I'm going to make it 279 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.960 happen. You know, the same thing with podcasting and live streaming is, 280 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.799 you know, you sure, you want your show to grow, you want 281 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.440 it to be the best that I can be and who knows, your show 282 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.279 may lead into sitting down and talking with famous people or people important in an 283 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.960 industry and you have deadlines to make and you want sponsors, you want to 284 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.039 monetize your show and you know, they're all are a whole bunch of goals 285 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.119 that you can set for your show. You can drive and strive to be 286 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:53.119 and you know, I think that that drive should be what gets you out 287 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.359 of those slumps. Yeah, and this is this is good information, because 288 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:00.319 you know, I love they said that you want to listen to your five 289 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.599 years old, because I think you know, it's easy for us to live 290 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.000 in, and I'm like this at times, like to live in a society 291 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.599 where everything's really fast. I talked about this yesterday with Chris Faglert a little 292 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.480 bit. It's like everybody wants instantaneous microwaveable goods. It's like, Oh, 293 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.279 it's put in the MIC way, skies go, let's go.

We and these are my two that 307 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:18.440 I actually drew and I wrote this one. Wow, this one. I 308 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.200 wrote this one and and I drew it and I lettered it and I colored 309 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:29.720 it. The books are legit, like it feels like sick man.

All right, so 332 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.680 we're gonna you're going to send me that link after after here, I'm going 333 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.079 to make sure it's in the show notes and anybody wants to go buy one, 334 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.000 go, go do that. And so, man, here's the thing. 335 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.680 I'm in Puerto Rico. If I buy one, can you kind of 336 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.200 hold a form and ship it to me later when I get back into Lee? 337 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.920 Okay, cooling, all right, cool, because that's awesome, dude. 338 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.119 I want to support you. Know what you're doing and I check it 339 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:21.720 out. Man, I think that's super dope. And or they digital as 340 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.319 well, or they just physical copies. Did their digital as well? We 341 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.200 just got the physicals in yesterday, but they've been digital for I want to 342 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.559 say about the past month, okay, and and they're available on Amazon and 343 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.359 soon to be Barnes and noble to Congrat Man. It's so sick, man. 344 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.960 I know, I know, I get we connected over podcasting and live 345 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.039 streaming. I don't know. I don't know Jack about art or comic books, 346 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:45.039 but I'm like, I just love it. I love to see people 347 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:51.240 when you know that's a part of the show too. Is like celebrating creators 348 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:55.240 and different forms and fashions, and you know, we're all MULTII, I 349 00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:59.039 believe, to some degree. And so that's pretty awesome, man. So 350 00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.839 with your projects, with your art or with your podcast, I mean you 351 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.200 can kind of pick one or both. Are you giving yourself hard timelines or 352 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.519 you letting this thing kind of take its own life form and work through the 353 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:17.960 process? I guess that depends on what you're working on, you know, 354 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.720 because for a podcast, you know, if you're working on episodes and you 355 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.519 have deadlines, you know your week after week, unless you're the type of 356 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:29.880 person that records a bunch of episodes all at once and then you can just 357 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.759 slowly leak them out, you know, and week after week. But as 358 00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.960 far as the the comics in the art goes, yeah, that's strictly deadline 359 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.039 driven. You know, there are deadlines. We have a bunch of stuff 360 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:47.079 going on that our time sensitive. So suffice it to say, my my 361 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:52.920 day is fairly scheduled out where in the morning I get up and, you 362 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.839 know, I check my emails and I go through all my legacy comics stuff, 363 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.079 stuff that I need to get done for the day. I like to 364 00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:06.000 do the most important things in the morning, get those done, get those 365 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.599 out of the way, and and then the rest of the day is just 366 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.480 going down the list of things I have to do that come up and then 367 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:18.720 and then occasionally be an occasional emergency, you know, whatever emergency stuff comes 368 00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.720 up. I got that I got have that needs my attention. I take 369 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.119 care of so so. Man, in your creative process, are you like? 370 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.960 I always find this pretty interesting. In my wife is notorious for what 371 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.720 I'm about to ask you. What are you writing stuff? Are you getting 372 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.000 it out of your brain? Is that helpful? Or what's going on there? 373 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.480 Are you just keeping it all in and working on it out of your 374 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:45.480 brain, or you got it to do list? I mean I I have 375 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:51.119 bullet list of things that need to get done, but, as far as 376 00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:52.880 you know, working I like right now, I know what I have to 377 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.359 do today and I'll just I'll just do it and later on, tonight, 378 00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:02.240 or maybe even tomorrow morning, I'll go back over my lesson cross stuff off. 379 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.720 You know that that I have accomplished. Okay, Gotcha. Now are 380 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.880 you doing? I know you. You know. I don't know if you 381 00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:12.559 are now because you're busy, you know, getting ready launch all all these 382 00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:17.400 books. Man, it is so sick. But are you still helping people 383 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:18.920 with podcasting? Is at a part of Your Business Plan, or if you're 384 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.759 just doing it for yourself now? That's more of a hobby, you know, 385 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.279 because look, as you know, I told you that I used to 386 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.799 have a show called from podcast of vodcast where I helped people level up their 387 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:36.440 show. And Yeah, like, I like doing that, but at the 388 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:41.839 same time I wanted to help people level up, but I wanted to level 389 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:48.119 up my show at the same time. So so I stopped doing that podcast 390 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.920 and but I didn't stop with trying to connect to people and trying to help 391 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.079 them. Like I'll help anybody I can. If I connect with you on 392 00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.400 show social media and you put a question out there, or even if you 393 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.920 know directed towards me, you know I will help you. I'll do a 394 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.559 live stream with you, I'll get on with you and I will help you 395 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:10.640 anyway I can. Yeah, yeah, man, I know that's be true. 396 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.839 Your I see in a lot of podcasting communities give an information and helping 397 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.839 people and all that kind of stuff. So that's a lot of fun, 398 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.319 man. Really appreciate man, appreciate your story. First of all, I 399 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:25.200 appreciate you, you know, tell this all the stuff that you do and 400 00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:30.519 how you stay organized, because you're probably one of the most diverse creators I 401 00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:36.519 know that does stuff professionally, both as like podcasting and live streaming, and 402 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:40.720 also, you know, being an artist for yourself, for your own company 403 00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:44.960 and doing all the management and, you know, CEO work that you're doing, 404 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.400 but then you're also doing some work for other people, like you're taking 405 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.519 on commissions projects and stuff like that as well. Is that what it's called 406 00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:55.559 in the art world? Yeah, I'd take on painting commissions all the time. 407 00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.079 You know, I'm doing one now. You know, some guy wanted 408 00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:04.079 me to paint him as as a cling on from Star Trek. So okay, 409 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.799 that's pretty cool. That's pretty funny. Yeah, man, that's pretty 410 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.519 fun. I might have to call you up. I might have to have 411 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.400 have something done for creating daily I had a had a guy who reached out 412 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:17.680 to me. He's like yeah, man, I want to I want to 413 00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:19.319 do something for you, you know whatever, like a live stream logo. 414 00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.640 But, you know, you sent it back to me it was the traditional 415 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.200 like Gamer style, like crossed arms, like mean face, and I'm like, 416 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.599 I don't know, man, that's probably not going to work. So 417 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.400 it's all about branding, you know, like yeah, right, I know 418 00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.640 a little about that. So well, dude, I like literally put this 419 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.680 whole show together in about three hours. When I don't like, you know 420 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.799 what I think, I want to do something different and it was really there 421 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.160 was no, you know, real action plan to it. It was just 422 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.920 like I'm just gonna do it, and so probably needs a lot of work 423 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.839 on the branding side and all that kind of stuff, but I love it. 424 00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:57.400 I love the tape with the creating daily on it. It's great. 425 00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:02.000 It's great. Thanks, thanks Canada, for all those elements. I just 426 00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.160 throw on one top of each other and with him that's at that's so what 427 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:07.599 are some of your favorite? I'll ask you. So I'll ask you some 428 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.119 of this stuff because I think it's kind of interesting. What are some of 429 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.960 your favorite creator tools that you're using? And once again, I'm giving me 430 00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:21.640 the option or both for, you know, artist or podcast, vodkast, 431 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:26.480 or whichever one you want. Okay, actually one that serves both of them 432 00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:32.160 is photoshop. I use photoshop daily, exclusively. Most of the time. 433 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:38.359 I pay for the subscription, which it works out for me because, you 434 00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.839 know, again, I'm using it every day. I'm creating graphics all the 435 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:47.759 time for whether it be social media or for comic books or for Podcasting, 436 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.400 you know. So Photoshop is definitely one of them. I I honestly, 437 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.720 I'm sorry to say, I don't really use CANVA that much? Oh yeah, 438 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.000 right, I mean that's like that's like I've used photoshop, I don't 439 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.519 know, man, forever. It seems like, probably since I was like 440 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.160 eighteen or something. Thirty, ill, mean thirty six this year, so 441 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.720 a really long time. And then I was like creating all these these care 442 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.039 cells for instagram and at one point, and I was like man, I'm 443 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.160 working really hard in the someone's like, dude, I need try canva and 444 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.440 I'm like, Oh, yeah, I'm just taking because I'm just taking cheesy 445 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.559 pictures of myself putting him on a temple, you know, basically, and 446 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.799 it's like, okay, I'm done. See. I guess it's all use 447 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.279 case space to it's like, you know, some people that are doing graphics 448 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.680 is like if you're you know, if you're not trying to produce, I 449 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:38.279 think for you, man, you're probably customizing all of these elements for yourself, 450 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.960 for your clients or whoever. So I think that's a big difference in 451 00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:45.000 canvas, like you don't have all those options over in Canva. It's just 452 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.799 kind of our it's kind of like colloging, I would call I wouldn't call 453 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:53.200 it designing, I would call it collaging, colloge and and you know what, 454 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.119 if you don't have the money to pay for Photoshop, there's an free 455 00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:02.559 option called photop photo caps, like former shop. Yeah, okay, interesting. 456 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:06.079 Yeah, my wife pays for the whatever the suite is or whatever. 457 00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:07.960 Yeah, don't be sweet. Yeah, yeah, I just I think she 458 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:11.559 gets how many you get? A few computers on that right, two or 459 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.240 three, something like that. I think I just got the one license, 460 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.319 Ye, for this one computer. Oh, Gotcha, Gotcha. Yeah, 461 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.200 somehow my watch, I think maybe she gets I can't remember. Whatever we 462 00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:25.119 did, who knows? But anyway, enough of that. Well, John 463 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:27.079 Man, is there anything that we I mean, I think you gave us 464 00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.319 some really good action tips, really good stuff to think about. If we 465 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.559 are multiiving creators, you know, make your to do list, block your 466 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:40.119 time, really focus a hundred percent when you're trying to work on something. 467 00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:42.799 Is there anything else that you would like to drop on us to say, 468 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:48.880 Hey, here's the best practice that you found throughout your career. Do your 469 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:56.119 research, especially with podcasting. When I first started, I wanted to sound 470 00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:00.720 awesome, I wanted to sound amazing. I was seeing a lot of people 471 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.039 talk about how you can just record your podcast on your cell phone and you 472 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.079 could just, you know, buy this mic that, you know, listens 473 00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.400 to the whole room, and I didn't want that. You know, I 474 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:12.319 wanted the best for my show. If you're going to do something, do 475 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:15.400 it a hundred percent. Go big or go home, you know. So 476 00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.119 you want to start a podcast, I'm not saying spend five, six hundred 477 00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:22.799 dollars on a microphone. I'm saying you can get a decent, good microphone 478 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.519 for a hundred and fifty, two hundred bucks. Yeah, you know, 479 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.559 and just connected right into rite into your computer at better than it's better than 480 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:34.039 a cell phone. Yeah, man, go bigger, go home, buildy, 481 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.799 go, go big, go, buy your roadcaster and SMSVB. Don't 482 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.200 be a loser. Now, I'm just kid. Don't be a loser. 483 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.960 Younna be about you get there. I did. Yeah, I built up. 484 00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.920 I slowly built up my stuff. You know, it's all. It 485 00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.920 works. Yeah, man's well, dude, I tell people this all the 486 00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.000 time. Like I started this live stream fishing show, probably similar to you 487 00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:59.799 three, about three years ago, and I literally borrowed gear. I borrowed 488 00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:02.119 stuff from my neighbor, I borrowed I think it. Borrow stuff from like 489 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.400 three people, cameras, all kinds of crap. I just was like Hey, 490 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:08.839 can I use that for a couple you know, like a couple weeks 491 00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.960 until I figured this out, and then, once I did, then buy 492 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.200 a piece of gear and, you know, whatever that by another piece of 493 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.640 gear and then I just kept reinvesting, reinvesting, reinvesting. And so, 494 00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.039 yeah, man, it's not overnight, that's for sure. It's just like 495 00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:27.759 anything else. Like you didn't wake up just drawing like a professional. I 496 00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.160 mean you will spent hours doing it, you know. Well, well, 497 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:35.359 maybe you did. Know you and see. All right, like this bugs 498 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.599 me that when people say they can't draw, okay, because anybody, I 499 00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:44.440 believe anybody can draw anybody. You know what, I have agreed with you 500 00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:47.759 all this time, John, until right now, because actually know, I 501 00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:52.279 haven't even tried. But yeah, I don't even know. You know, 502 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.680 I thought at one point I like, man, I think I really want 503 00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:58.440 to draw stuff because I have some thoughts in my brand, like if I 504 00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:00.400 could just put them on paper, not even to make money off of it, 505 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:04.200 just to get it out of my head, you know. So maybe 506 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.319 I should work on that. Maybe this is anybody can draw the what's the 507 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.039 saying? If you do something for tenzero hours, you're a professional or something 508 00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:15.400 like that. Yeah, that was from somebody who didn't have kids, right. 509 00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:20.920 That person is delusional with no kids. That's their problem. It's MES 510 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.680 it. Oh Man. Well, John Man, I really appreciate your brother. 511 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.519 I think you do some amazing things in the Creator community, in serving 512 00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:30.960 people, and I love that you launch your comic book.

I'm gonna try to bring this in and 515 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.200 maybe I got this correct. No, you're not in there all that. 516 00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:45.119 I'm going to get you in there, though. Here we go. There 517 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.119 we go. Hey, now we're cooking with oil.

So I appreciate your brother. Thanks so 541 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:19.960 much, man. Thanks Billy. All right, I mean, thank you. 542 00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:23.719 All right. That is it for creating daily. Today, may third. 543 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.159 Tomorrow is may fourth. May the fourth be with you, which I 544 00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:30.599 don't know anything about, but I do know we're doing a creator a round 545 00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:35.000 table tomorrow. So if you are a creative, a creator, a podcaster, 546 00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.679 really party podcaster, live streamer, we're going to be talking about the 547 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:44.840 shows, segments of shows, formats of shows. I am actually brainstorming some 548 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.239 different segments for this show, so that's kind of my motivation. Little bit 549 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.360 of selfish motivation there, but I'm really curious, you know, is it 550 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:54.840 important? Our segments important? You know, what types of segments have you 551 00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:58.280 seen that you really like? So if you want to be a part of 552 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.199 that Creator Round Table, all you have to do is join me. I'm 553 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:04.840 going to be alive on clubhouse and be alive all the all these places you're 554 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:08.000 probably watching right now, also live on guild. So the three places you 555 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:14.199 can actually get in touches like bullhorn, guild or clubhouse. I think I 556 00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:16.559 might have those audio things worked out tomorrow. We'll see. We'll see, 557 00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:21.719 but anyway, or if you actually want to be on video, you can 558 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.400 send me a message, I can send you a link and we can connect 559 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:27.719 and I'll actually bring you on the show with me and we can we can 560 00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:29.480 do the round table that way. So if you want to be a part 561 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.199 of that, let me know. But it's going to be having tomorrow at 562 00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:36.360 two PM Eastern, one PM Central. And Yeah, so make sure if 563 00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:37.719 you want to be on, you send me a message, I'll send you 564 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.360 a link. Save your spot. I can only bring so many people on 565 00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:45.239 at one time and then and we could bring in as many many people we 566 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.119 want on guild. So you can go check that out as well. And 567 00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:53.079 all those links are at creating daily dot live watch and you can see all 568 00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:58.000 those links there where you can watch the show and once again, be sure 569 00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:00.159 to subscribe.
