So a lot of people are asking us what are these after shows all about? How does it work? What’s the value? All that kind of stuff. So I wanted to address that now. The after shows are the second portion of the interviews that we are doing. When we have these interviews with successful entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs that come in, what we do is they come in typically for about an hour or so and the first half an hour which is sponsor supported is what ends up on the radio and then also what ends up on the free pod cast as well as the download and when you push the play button on our website that’s what you hear. You’re going to hear the first half of it. Typically in that first half we are going to go over the entrepreneur, how they got started, their business, what makes their business better, what they are doing in the society or what their social mission is or how their engaged in the community or if they are doing something interesting. And we go through all that kind of stuff. The second half of the interview which is typically about half an hour or so, some have run way longer some are maybe a few minutes shorter. We go a lot more in-depth into either some of the topics that have come up in either the beginning part interview or we go in depth to there expertise in terms of you know lets say they are venture capitalist we are going to ask them on what are the mental checklist that you go through when someone hands you an executive summary. What’s the best way for someone to engage you to get an appointment? What’s the process that it takes to, what’s their average investment? You know what are you looking for in an entrepreneur and then most of them we’re asking them what are their biggest mistakes they are seeing entrepreneurs make? How can entrepreneurs avoid that? What are the most important things entrepreneurs need to know? What are the, actually there’s a huge list of them. You can see most of the list of those in each of the description for audios that we already have, or actually even in all of the calendar items too so. That’s what’s kind of going on with the after show. It’s a lot more in-depth, it’s a lot more detailed and it goes a lot more into what ever their expertise is. We have available in the after show portion, I’m going to make it where we’ll have uncut. Uncut doesn’t mean that we’re not going to cut anything. I mean its kind of irritating when you listen to a lot of the mistakes that Kari or myself are making when we’re doing things here or there but an example would be on like Duane Kurisu’s interview. When you listen to his interview, it was edited. There were pauses taken out Ums Ahs pieces of it that were cut out so that it can fit with in that segment depending on what the sponsor info was going in the radio show so you are going to miss things in there and then one thing about the interviews that we’re doing is that sometimes they have pauses and in the editing process if we take out that pause you take out the dramatic effect of what that could actually mean so some of the pauses are really valuable in order to get the true meaning of what the person is trying to say and so we want to leave that stuff in.
