the question today was. ..
you are given powers for 48 hrs, what are they and what do you do with them?
day1 · who are you today
day2 · value, what is that to you
day3 · what’s your biggest achievement to date
day4 · you have a power for 48hrs, what is it and what do you do with it
seems the days just started really picking up, i'm feeling the days starting to stack, i've been really putting things in place so i can make time for this everyday after the client work -- literally my day is made up of two hour sprints, it's kinda difficult to do anything else around, i like to have a plan and format to my day and i like to down tools at the end of the working day and that's when my best interactions are, doing these videos is really helping me personally connect outside of that (so thank you) i know a bunch of you are getting a lot out of it as well.
the people that took part today
@chireerocks, @travelling-two, @shawnsporter, @johnspalding, @navaneeth, @itsliam, @dayleeo, @teamhumble
i'm gonna upgrade the account this week, i'm gonna get the $29 monthly package at least for this month and look about extending it next month, i think i can pretty much cover that with my additional income from from my residuals on my courses, it's worth doing because it has a value to me -- if we are to sustain much bigger than that however i need to build out that MVP steem blockchain projects/product, i'm excited to get framer x in the new year and start mocking something up, then i'm gonna be on the hunt to put a little team together, the app will be not free but will be reasonably priced.
the app is part of something i've been wanting to build for well over two years now -- i've actually got three products planned, about audience, legacy and 'what you need to day' -- i've even got names for all of them and i've written copy for them, i just really need to shape them into one pager steem business ideas.
it's actually been really easy to edit the videos so far because everyone is really opening up and being authentic about their responses, i think that's the power of a crowd right, wanting to connect, wanting to take part, wanting to know that another human being out there has stuff going on just like them and it's ok to reflect and sound it out, it's like a big sounding board for the mind, vlogging was always this powerful --- it kicked me up the backside and inspired me to chase down that connection to build something bigger than myself and to activate parts of my character i did not know existed before.
it gave me confidence to try, that's the biggest takeaway, this boy from the midlands, going to san francisco, picking up an award for his part in a 'vlogging' movie, just a small time kid, looking to replay all the films he had seen and heard about SF growing up, the movies, the legacy of stepping foot in those places, something life affirming about doing that, it's a big achievement, a goal, an ability you unlock but only when you get there -- you have to jump on the train of life to journey to those destinations, when you get there, it's this overwhelming feeling of success, that you managed to take you out of your day to day life and you pushed at the edges of the universe to get there.
so i guess we are building a visual empowerment network, i hope you stay for the ride!
Consider these when posting your video
- 16:9 landscape works better for an editor than portrait (but i'll still include it if you make it that way)
- don't watch the others in the day until you have uploaded yours (let your internal voice come through)
- there is no right or wrong way to answer the question
- aim for 1:30 > 3:00 minutes maybe, but if your on a tear, go for it, i'll pick out the awesome stuff
- always think sound quality, be aware of background noise (bad video is fine if the audio is super clean)
- this is an empowerment network, treat it like it's the last node network on planet earth.
bullet points from today. ..
- super interesting that people wanted to know if it was 'powers' or 'super powers'
- the level of compassion for others really shone through from the majority
- made me smile that other humans out there in the world think these things and the AI has not won yet!
