Walk and Talk Brainstorm on 4-1-21Below is a rough transcript:Justin Finkelstein 0:00 Hey, this is Justin, it's April 1 2021, I want to do a live, walking, walking, talking, brainstorm, recording this right now on Instagram, want to move over to some doing like LinkedIn lives and do it live and all the other platforms. So we'll see the best way to to be able to make that work. Right now it's probably going to be live to recording with aUnknown Speaker 0:23 with aJustin Finkelstein 0:25 yeah live to recording probably restreaming, unrestrained, which isn't the worst thing in the world. But Instagram is the best for the walk and talking lives from my experience. One because of the audio quality I just tried or the video quality, just tried with restream and was not able to make that one work. Let me flip this thing around here, just capture the view from where we're heading. So just tried restream and wasn't able to get the right angle, wanted to want to start creating as a sort of inside this context of working in ways that work for people. Which is a tagline I've put for a new company, right? And just haven't allowing people to work in ways that are that work for that. Right. So now, as I walk through the woods, I have a much different perspective than I would have sitting in front of my computer and having sort of the technology dictate how we operate? And what is some of the stuff that we're doing? So I'm gonna pull up some images here. I'm not sure what I've got my camera, because I was planning on going live. Something else here? What else do we have here? Boom, boom, boom. Somewhere rooms I was in? What do we got? no pictures that are worth? What are we doing? We've been in some of the ads just talk about this real quickly. So I am in a program right now, ship 3430. started by Dickie bush in November, which a great it's about 300 of us shipping 30 atomic essays, or 30 days, one a day for 30 days. And yeah, what I love about it, the writing is, is fun, right is it's very easy for me to start a video and create a video, it's easier to launch an audio message, writing is a little bit more challenging. Or a lot more challenging, I should say, too, for, for me. So there is there's a fear that comes every night. So my process right now is I write 90% of my essay the night before, and then I just ship it in the morning of the next day. And that feels, that's, that gets it that gets it going. But what's beautiful about this is it's 300 people doing something together. And there's accountability structures that are built in there's, each person has an accountability structure, we're part of pods that are called crews to be able to support each other. So the real design, you could do running across you miss them, they're the real design is for to be able to build habits in sight of community, which I think is great. I'm very into, you know, doing something 1015 minutes a day, supporting people and doing the same thing 10 or 15 minutes a day, day in and day out to build habits that have a huge knock on effect. So I really think a lot of talk about like cohort courses right now. They're very heavy, in my opinion, right? You go into a circle room, you do this a lot of live content, this is just do your thing for a period of time, support people for a period of time, and then you can lean in and do more work afterwards, but wouldn't be able to get in there would be brilliant, and get out pretty quickly. So this is my essay that I wrote, was just talking about the asynchronous piece, and thinking a lot about work and the ways that work gets done. There's a lot, you know, a lot of people going after the zoom fatigue. And I don't think there's there's two components to the zoom pieces, like the being on video, and staring at video and missing like the cues of being on video. But number two, it is it's having to be there. The big one for me is having to be there at...
