TEST ONLY: DO NOT JOIN

Hey, folks, how you doing? Nick the poet here. Thank you so much for joining my live stream today. I hope you're having an awesome day, an awesome start to your work week. So today I want to talk a little bit about fatigue, about work, and about fun. And so I was traveling for work this weekend. I didn't get back till really late last night. So I'm feeling, you know, really quite tired today. And it got me thinking. I was even thinking about canceling, you know, this live stream, you know, when I had a little more energy next week.

But I decided to roll with it and to kind of build on it. So we all face these days where we're just too exhausted to work, you know, our steps are feeling heavier and we're tempted to drag through the motions. Just noting as well, I did use the help of AI to write some of this live stream. So I always like to share that. I use AI a lot. I use Chat GPT a lot for work. I'm interested in the AI Revolution solution. I don't know where it's going, but I think it does open up a lot of interesting paths for people in the creative fields.

So, yeah, do you use AI? What have you found about that? Please comment if so. But here's the thing. What if we could learn not only to push through these days, but actually to enjoy them? And I do find a lot of the times that when I'm more tired, I think, like, part of my brain turns off and I end up actually having a really good day. And it might be different than the days where I'm really well rested. And this is a fine line, everything I'm talking about here, because we want to avoid burnout, we want to avoid overwork.

And so I'm not encouraging that whatsoever. I took a glorious nap today that was super beneficial. So that's not what I'm saying. But these are just some points to think about in regards to fatigue. And I think it brings up some other interesting work points. So we're gonna dive into today. We've got some of my favorites that we're gonna get some info from, like Seth Godin, who is known as the marketing guru, one of them certainly of the modern age, and an author of the book the Dip, along with many others.

And he has a really, you know, brilliant perspective on when you feel drained. He says the hard part isn't coming up with new ideas. The hard part is doing the work every day. So ideas are a dime a dozen, but to actually, you know, be able to execute on those Ideas and make progress, that's a whole other thing. And he's saying that some days we're not going to feel like writing or creating or showing up to work, but a lot of times, these are the days where we need to do this anyways. He talks about these dips in energy as opportunities to reconnect with our deeper purpose.

And that's the key. Finding our why can be more energizing than caffeine. Even when we focus on the bigger reason behind what we're doing, it becomes easier to push through. So next time you're tired, remind yourself, you know, why you're doing this in the first place. If we can connect to that why, it's going to help us, you know, with that fatigue or with that boredom, when we have to do these tasks, that might not be the most exciting, but that might be crucial to getting ourselves, you know, closer to our dreams and to living in our purpose.

So next thing I want to talk about is leaning into your story. And to this, we're going to go to one of the great songwriters and storytellers of all time, Barbra Streisand, who's faced stage fright and exhaustion many times, said, art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one, to think, to provoke, even to disturb in a constant search for truth. So Barbara would dig deep into her passion for storytelling, especially on those tired days. She didn't shy away from the challenge. She embraced it as a way to connect more authentically with her audience.

So what if you, on these tired days, treated work as a chance to embrace this notion, notion and kind of, you know, maybe, and just maybe it's doing some journaling or some writing to connect with? What do you need in that moment? Do you need to search for your why that day and push through? Or maybe you need to take that nap, you know, maybe you need to take that break. Maybe you need to take, you know, that time off of work that day. So once again, I'm just kind of providing some food for thought on different ways we can look at work and fatigue.

But always, most importantly, you need to check in with yourself to know what you really need to do. Hey, guys. Welcome here to the Cadres Fairchuck, who's no stranger to fatigue and work. Gary V. He's known for his energy and relentless work ethic. But Gary isn't just about pushing through exhaustion. He's about finding joy in the hustle. He often says, when you're doing what you love, the exhaustion just becomes part of the game. So he's basically saying that, you know, if you find work or projects that you're really passionate about, you know, you might get tired in pursuing them.

He tells a story about staying up late to finish an ad campaign. And instead of getting frustrated, he embraced the fatigue, saying that's when his true creativity kicked in. Now, I don't know the ins and outs of that story. Try and start his zoom. Pretty traditional. I don't know. I just saw it flash to him for a second. Are you sure? Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, that's okay. That's okay. All right, so now what I'm gonna do is I go to my zoom and. Wait a sec. Okay. But now, Robert, I will have had to start another zoom.

Correct. I need to create another zoom. Nope, nope. You use this one. Okay. So, okay, go into more and then do all the steps. Yeah. More. Live stream. Live on custom streaming service. Okay. And then I'm going to head back to those directions quick. Okay. By the way, someone else joined. I didn't direct this. Please. Hi, guys. This is just an A test. So if you're here, you get to see me without my makeup. Just having a practice on a zoom. All right. Start the zoom. Call. Invite everyone. Turn off the camera, Shannon.

And you should see the speakers side by side. Okay. Stop my video. Stop my video. But here's my question, Robert. Should I not be in the video because I'm. Or like I feel like the first time I was. I'm not sure. Let's. Let's follow the instructions. Okay. Okay. Turn off your cameras. Click view in the top right. Hide non video participants. Hide. Okay, I think I'm already doing that. Wait. Yep. Okay. If you don't see them side by side, press more. Then click on live streaming. Custom service. Live streaming.

Hold on. System service. Okay. And now I'm gonna put in. Oh, wait. So for my streaming. Nope, I don't do that. Streaming URL. Getting. We're getting it. Copy. I believe in you. Thanks, Colleen. Oh, it closed. I also believe in you. Thanks, friends. Thanks, friends. Okay. Copy. Streaming key is the rtmpest key. Copy. Streaming key. Livestream page URL is HTTPs and such. Copy. Nope. Copy this. Do I have to click. Custom streaming service requires authentication authentication to broadcast. Robert.

Also, what I'm seeing. Yeah. On my screen is still just you. I know, right? Yep. Me too. So that's not happened last time. So what happened last time when it worked was this screen. My Robert went to half me, half Andrew. It looked weird on my phone, but then in the replay, looked Normal. And actually what happened was then I toggled into. Had the option of showing one person at a time toggling back and forth. And I just picked that because I couldn't tell if it was right or not. It's weird. It's concerning me that it's not.

Yeah. Through. And remember, this is exactly what happened last time. Then I just took my phone and held it up. Can I ask you a question, Robert? Did you see mine had like a notification that it's hosting on a custom service and I had to hit okay, does that matter? I also got that, but I think that was that. Okay, just meant that you've read the notification. I don't think it was like, Colleen, that was on your app. That was on my Zoom. Because here's the other thing. The zoom will only be for the speakers.

So that's what we have to think about too. Like, so meaning. And I know you know that, but like, then it's like, yeah. Oh, I mean, this is. Can I. Okay, so I don't think this is working. So can you do something? Can you stop the live stream and then start it again? Yeah. On Zoom or in Cadre? In Cadre. Yep. Stop it. Bye, everyone. Thanks for joining. Have a great day. Okay. Okay, so I'm going to hide that right now. I just did it. I just did it on thing. You already hit it. You're the best. Okay, so now I'm going to start live right now.

Okay. Actually it just says finishing pick up that video. Oh, good question. All right, so now I'm going to enter the live stream again. Hey, guys, I am only here today as a test. We're gonna see what happens. I don't think I'm gonna open that up. Yep. Maybe it's not showing you as live, Robert. Yeah, I got it to come back up. Oh, my gosh. And I see our videos. What do you mean? What do you see? Oh, we're in there. Okay, so that's right. But now here's my question. I want to try something. Yeah.

I'm gonna turn my video on for a second. Okay. And then I'm gonna do. What does it look like now? Hold on. There's like a 10 second delay. Oh, yeah. So give it a second, I'll show you. Hello, friends. Hello, friends. Welcome to the live stream. Still doing that. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, now what happened? Nothing. My phone just went dark. Oh. Still says it's live. So the other thing though is see it? The other thing is it does. It looks weird. So it Looks weird. It looks. Yeah. The video is not updating properly.

Mm. So I'm gonna turn off my video for a sec and just see again. So this is where last time what I had to do because it looked weird and people said it looks weird and I think I did multi speaker. So now try and see if something happens. Wait, hold on. I want to see what happens. Hold on. Take a sec. It's like what's happening online. So cuz here's the other thing. Mine just still looks like this. I don't. I don't see what you're. Do you see? I don't see what you're doing. Well that's what I have now.

So I went out and went my video hasn't updated in a while view. Did you change it? So I changed it to. We've just changes it between the speakers. Yeah but that one did work. So there is an actual video coming through because. So can you change it to gallery? I hid myself view now a minute because in the directions I think it said hide self view. Okay. So now I think I'm getting you through your phone and not through. I agree. Yeah. So I had my self view. Okay so hide self view and so now so wait.

Okay. I currently just so you know I have it on gallery. Just two of you showing. Okay. Okay. Now hold on. And then just a second you do me a favor. Would you type a comment. Type in a question on the. Because this is the other thing didn't happen last time that's super important is like I could get any questions but this also I am nervous because they're disappearing so fast which. Oh, you're on already. Robert, I just sent that code to you sent one to the stream. I did. It's not showing yet. I don't see any.

I don't see any comments. I'm. I am far behind though. Okay, so let's give a sec. Yeah, yeah, I'm still not getting here. Hold on. I'm going to mute for a sec. Okay, sorry. I was just listening back and now we're like kind of up to speed and we're not getting this view back. And also I'm not. I did not never saw your comment, Colleen. Okay, that's weird. I will say this does seem right as far as how it went first time where like I had my phone here and I could see my phone like all of that. You know what I mean?

But. And then you guys so just it seems like the right general thing. Okay, where's your phone right now? Is it Pointed a ceiling. Mine. Yeah, it's like literally just. I set it on my computer in front of me next to your guys's window. Can you set it on the. So it's pointed up at the ceiling like that is. I have it like this. Oh, you can't see me? Yeah, no. Can you point it up? Just set it on the table. Like. What do you mean pointed at the ceiling? Like flat? Yeah, just set it down. Right now it's flat.

Okay. Yeah. Your video is coming through your phone. It's also like 15 seconds off. Yeah, I'm about eight behind. Okay, you're about to point into the ceiling. Here we go. Right there. Just happened. Yeah, that's how far behind we are. So somehow it went back to. Man, that's weird. And you didn't see my comment at all, Shannon? No, I'm a comment too, don't I. I didn't see anything. Gosh, that's interesting. Do you see that? No, I'm seeing nothing. But like, again, the comments haven't been working generally lately at all because, like, I know commented the other day in my live and some.

Somebody else said they too, and then I didn't see. I didn't even know they were. Put my phone back up. For what it's worth. I don't like that. That's scoring your face. There we go. Oops. All right, well, this doesn't work very well at all, does it? What is it that you need to do? Like, what is the. What. What are we trying to. Doing a live Q and a for 45 minutes. When does that. Does that happen? Thursday at 8pm But I have to have to give them a heads up. Like, I mean, I have to give them directions probably like Wednesday end of day, just to make sure they have time to understand it.

Okay, let's jump off this live. Stop my life. Yeah. Okay. Should I leave this one? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I just hit it. You're so quick. It asks you now if you want to hide it at the end of everyone. Did you build that river? No, I didn't. Oh, well, that happens. It literally says that when you end. I think that's been true for a while. I've. When I test lives a while ago, I did that too. Been a bit. Okay. Okay. So I think. I think it's fair to say that. That this is. We can't do this right. This route, I mean, it doesn't work at all, really.

Right. So when you say can't do it though, what do you mean? I mean we can't use, we can't use, we can't use this route to do it. Correct tool. Right. Like, I don't think we can use Zoom. Yes, Stream. And my guess is it's probably not Zoom that's causing the problem. It feels to me like it's more our side of the world. I wonder. I couldn't tell you why because I have no, absolutely no clue how this works at all. I wonder if something changed when, like, Alec got off, like in the back end, like when Alex was, wasn't on the team anymore and there was like one something.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I have no, I, I, I have no, absolutely no clue. And there's probably no easy way to find out. Yeah. Yeah. To be honest. So. Yeah. So let me. So this has to be live, the thing Thursday. I mean, it's already been pushed back a week and the last one went wrong. Like last month was the one that. So I mean, I would feel really s***** if we didn't deliver it because we're also meeting with them on Thursday or Friday to close the deal for next year. Oh. What I mean is, does it have to be live though?

Can it just be a video? That's. Yes, it has to. I mean, like, that's, the entire thing is it's a live Q and A so people can come in and ask their questions in real time. That's, that's why it matters that it's live. Okay. They already put it out to their waitlist. They advertised it last week. And I do just want to say we did have one successful that was like, it worked perfectly. Yeah. And then we had the one that was broken. So we've only ever tried this twice. Well, yes. Okay, but the first one worked.

Do you remember why? Is there something you did differently or literally just followed the exact same instructions that I've been following? Like, like, literally cut and paste what Alec gave me. Like, is it worth it to ask Alec or is that past. Yeah, totally. I mean, I mean, to be honest, there's no way we can make this work by Thursday unless Alan knows some way to make it work. Okay. I mean, that's the honest truth. But I mean, I could start digging in or have the guys start digging into how this thing worked, but it's, it's Monday.

Okay. And if it doesn't work, I mean, if we had to deploy code, it would be a few days. Okay, so let's assume like, so, okay, beyond that, like in a long term solution scenario, is there a world in which we can Build it into the platform. A live Q and A. Allowing multiple people. Oh, totally. Yeah. So what's the time to turn around on something like that? I mean, it would take at least a couple of weeks, probably, to build. Okay. Okay. Can we put that as a. Because it's also something we just pitched a St.

Gray hospice. Like, we're starting to do it with them as well. Is that we were going to be able to do live Q and A's. Yeah. With multiple people. Exactly. Like we did before. Yes. Okay. Yeah, we can ask the backlog. I. But we also promised communities by. Just by Thanksgiving, so. Yeah, no, I know, but. So when you think about our corporate clients, communities and live Q and A's are the two things we're selling the most. So. Okay. Like UTPI to hospice to, like, our top prospects, it's that those are the key features we're selling.

Okay. All right. Well, can you. I mean, do you have a relationship with Alec? Can you reach out to him? Will he answer you? I mean, I can try. There's no harm in trying, so I'll try that. I'll see what he says. I do think those two are the top priorities, aside from, like, bugs or whatever. When we come. When it comes to our prospects and what we're closing and selling. Okay. Is I wish there was another way to do this without using the Live system, so. Well, I don't know if we can. I. I don't know if it's the same functionality, but I was checking in to see, like, if we could use, like, a stream yard or.

What is streamyard? Streamyard is. Hold on. Streamyard is what we use at radio station. Okay. A live streaming and recording studio in your browser can record content that you can stream live to Facebook, YouTube and other platforms. Oh, yeah, that might be helpful. What is 40? It is possible to get a free account on it. It has a studio just like. Like, you can switch cameras and stuff like that. I guess I would want you to experiment with it. I don't understand technology, Shannon. If we needed to do a temporary workaround for any reason, I have some ideas about how we could do that, too.

Tell me what that means. Like, wait, like, if we really can't find any way to go live. Yeah. What's your work? What is it? I think we could do. You could do a recorded session, either, you know, over zoom or Stream yard, solicit for questions and then host that. It's not. That's not the problem, though. Like, the fundamental piece of it is that it highlights our Platform like, holy. It's. It's just. It makes look s*****. So that's, that's why I'm having a response obviously. Because that's like cool thing that we sold and because we did it once, that's why it's more.

You know what I'm saying? I fully get it. I know you do. Sorry, I'm re. I'm looking at the Streamyard site to see. I am fig out. I'm texting Alex too. Oops. That's okay. Just to see if he's being. If he's willing to go through it again. Yeah, I mean I think that's probably our best shot here. Like, is there. Is there a it to me, like it was sort of working okay, except for it was just the. It never updated. Like it definitely connected. Right. There's like something. I'm wondering if it's like an order of operations situation, you know what I mean?

Where it has to go in a specific order to work. Because I. That's something that's like in my brain is like was there. I feel like there was something in the order that like I was. Did I like not write part of it down or something? Yeah, I just texted him. Yeah. Robert, I'm reading here and maybe this will make sense to you. It does not make sense to me, but regarding Stream Yard, you can use the multi streaming function which says which platforms can I stream to? Streamyard has a direct integration with Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and Twitch.

But you can also stream to other platforms using the custom RTMP feature. Yes, let's try that. Let's do that. Can someone sign up for a streamer to come? Give me a moment. I think that you can use a free account too at this point. If to pay for it, we might just have to pay for it. Yeah, it's going to ask me brilliant questions. Hey, Robert, can I ask you another question while Colleen's doing that or is your brain occupied? Yeah. Oh. So we're meeting tomorrow with Edison Health, which is a third party administrator.

Basically. They, basically they're going to help us sell Cadre. And so like one of questions and this continues like also I met with Mac leadership last week and one of the things that people getting really jacked about is the ability to book 101 through Cadre. Okay. And so that's like the whole book now feature, you know. So how would we. What's the reality of like if we were to book via like Blue Cross Blue Shield employer or you know, Blue Cross Blue Shield only Or if we were to book, we integrate with only, like, certain one individual clinician.

Like, is there a process that's the same no matter what? Or what does that look like? If we were to be like, hey, we want to do that? Well, right now, I mean, the only thing we could do is just have a link to some outside website or something like that. Like, we don't have any capability to actually, like, schedule time or sign up for things or anything like that. So it would. It would basically be if. If they had like a direct link. Yeah. Link to a URL, which I'm sure they do. Right. Which is like some kind of scheduling page or something like that, then we could do that.

Like, right now we. Right now we can't do that. But that's probably something we could do, you know, in less than a month. Okay. So. So. And I think that's okay because, like, part of what I'm telling them is, like, that stuff is coming by like Thanksgiving or like, you know, December of like, the community and the other features. So I think it is something. So we could say. But by the time you. If you were to kick off with us, by the time we get to December, that would pretend that could be live.

I mean, it depends on what you tell them it is. But yeah, if they want a link to a scheduling page that could be December, if they want, like, the ability to actually, like, schedule things, there's like a calendar integration or a scheduling integration or something like that that definitely could not be done. December. Okay. So at this moment, it's purely a pass through to their own booking system. So they leave hydrate at that point. So we're referral source. Okay. Yep, exactly. And what about our coaches, though?

So, like, this is the other thing. Like, Luke right now was doing book now. Yep. Like book with so and so does that just send an email to us? I have no idea how that works. You'd have to ask Luke. Okay. If Luke wants to handle that. Like, if he wants to handle whatever requests come in through that and manually. That's a tough people. That sounds like perfectly good way to do it. Yeah. Okay, I'm gonna just practice. I have to upgrade this m*** m*** stream yard because is it down? Is it a mobile app or a downloadable app?

Yeah, they do have an app now. Yeah. Okay. If. So the idea is that you're gonna start a stream and then you're gonna invite us to it. That's. Yep. But first I have to upgrade. Oh, it wants like the full year. How much is it $240 on a monthly. There has to be a monthly option. It's free. 25 bucks. There you go. There you go. 25 bucks. So there is a free account, but a free account does not include the premium feature of the RMTP or RPA. 25 bucks is done. Is fine. I need to find my credit card. Hold on.

Oh, here, I'll get. Do you want me to give you the company card? That would be awesome. Yeah. Here, hold on. Oops. All right, hold on. Okay, you ready for the number? Yeah. Although. Oh, it doesn't matter. Okay. Yeah, go ahead. 409080840 or 0402 4757. And then month year 1126. And then the CVC 022. And then what's the zip code? 5, 5, 1. Will purchase plan. Okay. I'm on the monthly core plan. So now here's what I'm gonna do. Okay. I never do this at the station, so I have to figure this out. Ella calling me right now.

Alex calling me. Oh, perfect. I'm gonna take it and mute you guys. Yeah, I think we still go down the road, though. Colleen. Yeah, I'm on it. Okay, so live stream, reusable studio. Let's just do this. Oh, okay. Oh, that. Interesting. So when I was setting up a studio, Robert, it asked me for a custom rmtp. Perfect. Okay. Do you have those instructions? Yeah. Do you have to pull it from there? Hold on. Let me get out of the studio first. Oh, here. Okay. Edit. Nope. Okay, so I'm making a reusable studio called Cadre.

Cool. I think it's gonna work. I'm confident. I am, too. What I'm trying to do now is find the. Okay, then it gave me that option, and then it disappeared. So. Okay, hold on. Starting all over. Create a reusable studio. I'm going to call it Cadre Create. Okay, now I'm going to go to Settings General. That doesn't help me shoot. Okay. Okay, I'm going to create a live stream, add a destination, custom. Okay, so then it gives me rtmp sir. URL and then stream key. Okay, so are those two things both.

Yep. Those are all in the instructions. So the streaming URL, what were the three things? It is RTMP, server, URL, and then stream key. Yep. Okay, so the RTMPs and the key are both in there? Yep. Okay, and then stream key, what would the stream key be? Would that be streaming URL? Oh, there's a thing called RTMPS key in the instructions. That's the stream key. Yep, got it. Okay. I'm okay. By the way, our thing is still going. Can I cancel this? What's still going is our. This is gonna ruin it. Is Shannon still on?

I think she is. She just turned off her camera. That's okay. I think when we get out of here and go over to the other one. Hold on. We. I think we need her to stop this before we start the new one. Okay. Shannon, can you hear us? Okay, I just slacked her. Oh, good. Okay, good. She's back. Oh, she got.
