While trapped in his New York house during quarantine, Neil Perry Gordon and I talk the status of New York, how he’s handling life at home, and a little about his take on historical fiction in his latest novel, Hope City. Gordon’s writing takes readers on a wild journey through Alaska.

Do you need to grow into your business or does your business need to grow into you? Knowing when and how to invest and scale up in your business can be confusing. In Episode 26 of the podcast, I give details of exactly how and when I did this in my own business.

In this weeks' episode: 

• Growing a business can be overwhelming and knowing when you're ready to re-invest in your business, buy tech, and level up is very confusing.
• You can be inundated with ads and offers and things "you can't live without" in your social media feeds.
• People told me that I had to have professional headshots and loads of professional equipment when I started my business with livestreaming.
• I started livestreaming with my Apple earbuds (that was my microphone) and my cell phone.
• I did not have any professional microphones or lighting equipment until I'd already been making money from my livestreams for about a year and a half and about 1,000 live broadcasts.
• I just recently had my first professional photoshoot. For the first five years of my business, all of my photos were selfies.
• I level up when I know that NOT doing so is keeping my business from moving forward.
• Pro lighting and microphones will not make the difference in your business--YOU make the difference.
• The value you bring to your audience and the personal connections you make with them is what will really make your business grow.
• You must have foundational pieces of your business in place before you ever scale.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Start Ugly by Chris Krimitsos
• Natalie Jennings photography
• Podfest podcasting conference
• Rodecaster Pro production studio
• Kajabi
• Blue Yeti microphone (livestreams or podcasts)
• Rode microphone (for my podcasts at home)
• ATR 2005 handheld dynamic microphone (for mobile interviews)
• Apple earbuds
• Rode Smart Lav + lapel microphone

This week's challenge: Look at your software, apps, CRM, and how much money you spend each month (or a year) on your business and determine whether or not you really need it. Has it helped your business grow? Are you using it? If not--get rid of it!

Are you ready for more business success?  Listen here.

In our first audio-only Sound for Video Session, we cover the new features Zoom added to the F4 recorder in the 3.0 firmware update. Now F4 users have AutoMix an the Advanced Hybrid Look-Ahead limiters that were previously only on the F8 and F8n.

We also cover my impressions of the Fairlight digital audio workstation page in DaVinci Resolve 15.2.4. It is getting pretty close to the point where I can move to Fairlight and away from Adobe Audition. There are still some minor issues. In fact, in mixing this episode, I learned that Resolve has issues exporting audio only projects. Sigh.

And finally, we talk about a new wireless lavalier microphone I just received in for review: Sennheiser XSW-D Portable Lavalier Set. I have yet to do the review, but cover some of its features here. This is a consumer/prosumer grade wireless system that is made to be as easy to use as possible. The review should appear on my YouTube channel in the next few weeks.

Gear used/discussed in this episode:

Zoom F4 audio recorder

DaVinci Resolve - Free video editing, coloring, and audio mixing

Sennheiser XSW-D Portable Lavalier Set - Wireless microphone system for those who need wireless to be as simple as possible

RODECaster Pro - Mixer and recorder used to record this session

Golden Age Project R1 Active mkIII - Affordable ribbon microphone which I used to record this session.
