Ep159: The Ai ShowEpisode Summary:Today’s episode is all about Ai or Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT and how they can be used by podcasters and content creators.The Confession:The entire script of this episode was written by ChatGPT in a matter of minutes and I read it word for word.My reason for creating this episode was to have a little fun while also teaching the basics of Ai that I think is a mystery to many (including myself), but it is certain to have an enormous impact on life as we know it.  If this is your first time hearing about ChatGPT, I encourage you to give it a try. To say it is impressive is an understatement.Give ChatGPT a try:https://chat.openai.com/ Episode 159 Overview:In this episode 159, I will discuss the benefits of using AI for podcasting, how ChatGPT works, and some of the ethical and social considerations that come with the use of AI.What is Artificial Intelligence?What is Chat GPT?What are some benefits of using ChatGPT & Ai for podcasting in 2023?What are some of the ethical and social considerations that come with the use of AI in podcasting?Will Artificial Intelligence replace podcasters and content creators?What does the future of podcasting look like? The Script (Generated by ChatGPT):What is Artificial Intelligence?AI, or artificial intelligence, refers to computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.AI systems are designed to mimic the cognitive functions of the human brain, such as perceiving, reasoning, and adapting to new situations.There are several different types of AI, including:1. Narrow AI: This type of AI is designed to perform a specific task or function, such as language translation or image recognition.2. General AI: This type of AI is designed to perform a wide range of tasks and adapt to new situations, similar to how a human brain can learn and adapt.3. Strong AI: This type of AI is designed to be indistinguishable from a human in terms of its ability to think and reason.AI is being used in a variety of fields, including healthcare, finance, education, and transportation, to improve efficiency and automate tasks. However, the development and use of AI also raise ethical and social concerns, such as the potential impact on employment and privacy.What is ChatGPT?ChatGPT is a chatbot that uses a natural language processing Ai model (NLP) and machine learning to generate human-like responses to user input. It is based on the GPT-3 language model developed by OpenAI, which is one of the largest and most advanced language models currently available. ChatGPT is able to understand human language inquiries and then generates appropriate responses.Here is how ChatGPT works:1. ChatGPT receives input from a user in the form of a message or question.2. The input is processed by the chatbot's NLP algorithms, which analyze the words and phrases used and determine the intended meaning.3. Based on this analysis, ChatGPT generates a response using its machine learning algorithms, which have been trained on a large dataset of human-generated text.4. The chatbot's response is sent back to the user, who can then continue the conversation by providing additional input.5. This process repeats until the conversation ends or the user decides to stop interacting with the chatbot.Overall, ChatGPT works by using advanced artificial intelligence techniques to analyze and understand user input and then generate appropriate responses in a waySupport the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

Ep158: The PilgrimageThis episode marks the 7-year anniversary of Mike Murphy Unplugged.  In this episode, I share the story of my pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in France & Spain.About:My name is Mike Murphy and I started Mike Murphy Unplugged in September 2015 to teach and document my journey of building an online business and brand creating content. The goal of the podcast has always been to share what I am learning and doing to create the life I want to inspire others to create the life they want. The Pilgrimage:A Pilgrim or Peregrino is defined as a person who journeys to a sacred place often for religious or spiritual reasons.The Camino de Santiago (or, the Way of St. James) is a pilgrimage that can be traced back to medieval times. There are several different routes, but all lead to the tomb of the Apostle Saint James, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The most popular route and the one documented in the movie The Way starring Martin Sheen is called the Camino Frances and it starts in St. Jean Pied de Port, France, and goes up and over the Pyrenees Mountains into Spain for 500+ miles to Santiago de Compostela, in the Galician Region of Spain.The scallop shell is the official symbol of the Camino de Santiago and most pilgrims have a scallop shell attached to their backpackAlbergues are hostels where pilgrims can stay for usually less than $15 and they often provide a communal meal (and wine, of course)All pilgrims must have a 'pilgrim's passport' in order to stay in alberguesPilgrims must get their passports stamped at least once per day at albergues, coffee shops, churches, places of interest, etc in order to get a Compostela (certificate) in Santiago.Over 300,000 pilgrims arrive in Santiago each yearMy Walk:August 26, 2021Started walking from St. Jean Pied de Port, FranceSept 28, 2021Arrived in Santiago de Compostela, SpainOctober 3, 2021Arrived in Finisterre, Spain ('The End of the World')October 4, 2021Arrived in Muxia, SpainStats:Total # of Walking Days……….   39 daysTotal Number of Steps……….   1,462,154 stepsTotal Distance Walked (km)……….  1052.6 kilometersTotal Distance Walked (mi)………  654.3 milesAverage Number of Steps……….  37,491 steps per dayAverage Distance Walked (km)……….  27 km per dayAverage Distance Walked (mi)………  16.8 mi per dayBuen Camino, Mike---------------------------------------------------------------➜Episode Notes:  https://mikemurphy.co/158➜Gear & Resources I Use:: https://mikemurphy.co/resources--------------------------------------------------------------- Support the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

In Today’s episode, I am going to read a simple, but practical checklist from a book that I recently finished to help or inspire you to create a positive change in your lifeSummary:The checklist I am going to share with you today is from the book, What to Say When You Talk To Yourself by Shad Helmstetter which is all about rewiring your brain with positive thoughts and self-talk.Buy Book on Amazon: (affiliate link)What to Say When You Talk to Your Selfby Shad Helmstetter Ph.Dhttps://amzn.to/3bGMbkjTIPIf you have an Amazon Alexa device, you can buy Kindle books on Amazon usually for $3.99 or less and use the Alexa app on our iOS Device and listen to your Kindle books like an audiobook. The voice of Alexa is a little robotic and not nearly as high of a production value as an Audible book, but it’s been a great discovery for me and I’m finding myself consuming a lot more books listening like I do podcasts at a fraction of the cost of Audible books.Quote From Book:Whatever you put into your mind in one way or another, is what you will get back out, in one way or anotherWhat does your self-talk sound like?Are you kind and positive and encouraging when you talk to yourself?Do you beat yourself up over all the things on your to-do list that you can’t seem to get done or the projects that you never seem to have time for or the failed attempts at getting in shape, or the inability to get ahead financially, etc.Ways to Create Positive ChangeBelieve In YourselfKeep Your Priorities StraightTake Responsibility For YourselfCreate Your Own FutureMeditate DailyPractice MindfulnessFocus On What You WantAttract What You DesireLearn To Visualize The Outcome Of Your GoalsNever Let Anyone Control Your Destiny For YouBe CreativeThink BigControl StressBe Aggressive And AssertiveThink PositivelyChart Your Own CourseSet Specific Goals And Review Them OftenSpend Some Time Each Day Improving Your MindReview Your Results And Readjust As NecessaryBe TolerantDo Everything With LoveDon’t HateHave CourageRecognize That Most Of What We Believe About Life Is An IllusionBe HonestWork HardBelieve Money Is Good And It Will Come To YouHave FaithIf You Agree To Do It, Enjoy ItBe StrongShow AffectionManage Your TimeDress RightLearn To Sell YourselfTake Time OffBelieve In A “Higher Self”Eat RightLive PrudentlySeek The Aid Of Others Who Are In Sympathy With Your GoalsGive Assistance To OthersKeep MotivatedBe OptimisticTrust Others And Be Worthy Of TrustRecognize That Success Is More Than MoneyBe KindSee The “Big Picture”Take Care Of The DetailsGet OrganizedDon’t ProcrastinateStay In ControlKeep FitSee Problems As “Opportunities”Learn Everything You Can About Your JobDon’t Be Afraid Of SuccessBe Generous To OthersBelieve In GodReach A Little Higher Than You Thought You CouldSet Your SightsTake ActionNever Give UpGandhi said it best:_Be the Change You Wish to See in The World.Buy Book on Amazon:What to Say When You Talk to Your Selfby Shad Helmstetter Ph.DAmazon Affiliate Link:https://amzn.to/3bGMbkjSupport the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

This episode breaks down the process of how to move your show (podcast) from one podcast hosting company to another without losing any subscribers.Topics covered in this episode:What is a podcast host?What is a podcast directory?What is an RSS Feed?What is a 301 Redirect?How do you move your show without losing subscribers?What is a podcast host?When you start podcast, one of the major decisions you will make is where to host your show. There are many podcast hosts available but some of the more popular ones include:Simplecast. Where I work full-time on the product support and content team.Others hosting companies include:LibsynBlubrryPodbeanBuzzSproutSpreakerSoundcloudAnchorWhat do podcast hosting platforms do?Overview of Podcast Hosts:1. Audio File Storage & Delivery2. Generate your RSS Feed3. Publishing & Syndication to directories.Audio File Storage & Delivery To store your audio files and serve them to listener devices when someone clicks play or download from a podcast app or an embed player or anywhere your podcast episodes can be accessed. Generate your RSS Feed which is the link between your show and subscribers and to all of the podcast apps and directories. Every podcast has one unique RSS Feed and that usually only changes when you change podcast hosts. Note: Your RSS Feed is not always generated at the location where you store your audio files. When moving a show, you will do so wherever your RSS Feed is located and not necessarily where your audio files are stored.My original set up was using the Powerpress plugin by Blubrry on my Wordpress website and I hosted my audio files for download only on the podcast host, Libsyn. If your RSS Feed was generated by Powerpress, then that is the location where you would redirect your feed. Ask if you are not certain.Publishing and Syndication To Directories. Podcast hosts make it possible for you to create and publish new episodes much like creating a blog post on a website. When you publish new episodes or make edits to already published episodes, your podcast hosting platform connects your RSS feed to the podcast directories such as Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora so your show will always be updated automatically. This process of publishing and then updating everywhere automagically is possible because of the RSS Feed and this process is called syndication.Additional roles of podcast hosts:Analytics, websites, sharing tools, embed players, and some even have world-class support!What is a Podcast Directory?A podcast directory is simply a library or catalog of podcasts where one can browse, listen, and subscribe to new shows.Major Podcast Directories:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsGoogle PlayPandoraiHeart RadioTuneInSupport the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

Behind the scenes of my simple and practical new financial freedom plan to help me create the life I want. Today is about taking action and control of your finances so you can create the life you want.The motivation or my why for taking action on my finances.The two books that helped me build the framework and key takeaways from each.My new plan along with the tools I am using to put my financial plan on auto-pilot.Part 1: Why am I taking action on my finances? I turn 50 in November Reduce stress and self-doubt Financial Freedom Peace of Mind Control & Clarity Always Moving Forward Opportunity to AdvancePart 2: The 2 Books that led me to action I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi(Buy on Amazon) The Latte Factor by David Bach(Buy on Amazon) I Will Teach You To Be Rich By Ramit Sethi1st Edition:My biggest takeaway from the 1st edition was setting up online banks for automating your finances. Set it and forget it. Deposit your paycheck in a checking account and have set amounts go to bills, savings, and investments automatically.2st Edition:I ordered the audiobook from Audible immediately and listened to it non-stop for 2 days.This book is a crash course in the fundamentals of investing and also very tactical in that he gives step by step advice along with specific recommendations for investments and online banks.I Will Teach You To Be Rich caused me to take action 10 years ago and it had the same effect on me the 2nd time around because the message throughout the book is taking the time to do this now will help you create the life you want.This book will teach you exactly what to invest in, how to set up online banking so your savings and investing are automatic, and what it means to live a rich life.It’s not about the money, it’s about intentional living and purpose.The Latte Factorby David BachPodcast Mentioned:The James Altucher ShowI also listened to The Latte Factor on Audible from start to finish.The Latte Factor is story about a girl named Zoey who is a twenty-something working and living the dream in NYC and is buried under student loans, debt, and living paycheck to paycheck just trying to make ends meet. Not an unfamiliar story for many. The thought of savings and investing are the furthest thing from her mind as she can barely afford rent. This is a story many of us have experienced and it can be a vicious cycle of financial stress and worry working hard just to pay debts and eek by without being able to put any money aside for travel or savings or retirement.Zoey meets a wise old man who changes her perspective and teaches her many valuable money and life lessons such as the power of compounding interest and one of the the most important lessons of this book and my biggest takeaway from the book is Pay yourself first.**Pay Yourself First: **You take the first hour of every working day and put that in your savings or investment account.Example:You work 8 hours per dayYou take your hourly rate for 1 hour out of the 8 hoursYou put the first hour of payin your savings or investment account.You can multiply this 1 hour by the number of days you work or multiply by 7 for a full week.Bonus MathSupport the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

Today is an update episode and I simply wanted to say hey wish you all a very happy Holiday Season.Episode Summary:So welcome to this holiday episode 152. In this episode I wanted to bring you up to speed on my journey and plans for 2019, but more importantly I really just wanted to make sure I took the time to wish each and every one of you a very merry holiday season and to wish you the best as we approach a new year.The Update:A couple of months ago I told you I was taking a hiatus from Mike Murphy Unplugged for a variety of reasons. This was not an easy decision to make and it saddened me a little to give up a piece of something that I worked extremely hard every single week for 3 years. I was and still am very proud of the consistency and hard work I put into this podcast and all of the content I make surrounding it, but I listened to my heart and took a step back. It was the right decision at the right time. I needed to get the weight off my shoulders as it was introducing negativity into my world and becoming a burden instead of something that inspired me to make.Consistency:I get asked all the time on social media how on Earth I am able to create tutorials and content on such a consistent basis. The answer is easy. I love it. I love to learn and teach. Making tutorials and quick tips is not easy in some ways, yet it’s all I want to do, so I just do it.Podcasting BreakI also still very much podcasting and will publish a podcast regularly again, but as soon as the process of podcasting became something that I no longer looked forward to, the problem solver in me clicked in. I do not like when things are broken and I have the ability to fix it. It drives me nuts actually when I see people who suffer and make no attempt to right the ship. That is why I stopped. I shifted and tweaked my process of podcasting until I decided the best course of action was to put it on the shelf and re-adjust.MinimalismDo you know what really made this easy? My push to simplify and get rid of physical, digital and mental clutter. 2018 was the year of minimalism for me and that meant letting things go that caused stress or were not contributing to my happiness or well-being. To be as candid as possible, the first half of 2018, my podcast was a thorn in my side. I was pulling topics out of thin air and I was making them simply because of self-discipline. Again, problem solver Mike knew that this was a problem, and I solved it. I did not give up or quit, I gave myself permission to free up some space and figure out what needed to be done.Opportunity KnocksAs soon as I put my podcast on hiatus, a door opened up for me out of the blue. And that was an opportunity to work for the podcasting technology company, Simplecast. Was this a coincidence? In my mind, no way. I manifested this opportunity by showing up every day making and publishing content. When I started I really had no idea what I wanted or what I was good at, so I just started exploring and making things and I started really wide and over time I just started narrowing down and finding my style and groove.Simplecast hired me to do exactly what I am best at and what I like to do. My job is in support and my role is to help solve problems for podcasters and create educational content in the form of tutorials and articles and to teach through webinars and eventually at conferences and workshops. If you have listened to this podcast for any length of time, you will probably realize that my role in Simplecast is exactly what I talk about all the time. If you find yourself in a position of self-doubt or uncertainty, but you know you want to improve your career or what you have going on in life, I cannot stress enough that you have to get started today and just do something. You do not need the answers to life to start. Move in the direction of Support the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

Today is the 3rd anniversary of Mike Murphy Unplugged and this an update episode about change, development and creating the life you want. I have some exciting news to share with you.Episode Summary:I started this show on Friday 9/25/2015. Thank you to all of you who have supported me over the past 3 years.The podcast is still on hiatus, but I created this episode:1) To acknowledge you and the anniversary2) Share some updates since Episode 1503) Let you know about my new position with podcast hosting company SimplecastWhat is a Milestone?:A milestone is an action or event marking a significant change or stage in development.Change is to make or become different.Development is state of growth or advancement.So Why Did I Start Mike Murphy UnpluggedReason 1: To connect, teach and help people figure things out, Reason 2: To figure out how to make a living as an online educator and content creator.My solution: Starting a podcast was the perfect medium for me:Why Podcasting?:-I have been an avid podcast listener since the iPod 1.0-I love audio and gear-I could share my voice to the world from my bedroom-I knew it was an emerging medium.Timeline:I gave myself 30 days to learn how to start a podcast, how to record and edit audio, create the artwork and branding, and set up social media profiles and figure out what it was about.I did not overthink starting a podcast and I was determined to stay genuine and authentic to me and do it my way.Everyone told me I had to niche down and narrow my topic, but that is not who I am.I have a wide range of interest and skills and I wear many hats (I’m the guy who has watched over 11,000 Lynda videos remember).I used to think of this as my weakness, but it is my super-power.My long-term goal was to make a living as a content creator and teacher.Mike Murphy Unpluggedwas to document my journey and share all of the tools and resources and steps I was taking to move myself forward towards a very general goal of making a living in creativity and teaching tech tips and tricks.Step #1: in the journey was starting a podcast so I dedicated the first several months of Mike Murphy Unplugged to being a podcast about podcasting.I shared everything I knew about setting up and producing a podcast as that was my main focus at the time and I knew it was an emerging and important medium for businesses in the future. And guess what, the more you talk about and share knowledge about a topic the more of an expert and authority you become. I knew what I was talking about and was confident in my abilities from the start.The main principle I want to share today on this anniversary is showing up day after day even when it seems like nobody is listening or you are not getting many downloads or views or likes, etc.I created at least one piece of content 7 days a week 365 days in row for almost 3 years because I knew that if I just kept showing up I would either figure it out or an opportunity that would present itself.I started this podcast and online venture without a roadmap or plan, but I started and I just kept at it. My priority was to get really good at everything related to teaching and creating content and to be consistent and patient and to work as hard as I possibly could. It was not always fun or enjoyable, but I was not going to stop because I knew it would take time and require resilience and patieSupport the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

Taking a breakResting your mind is vital to your health and wellness, but that does not mean you stop your efforts to create the life you wantThe life I want is making a living as a content creator and online educator.My sights are on the long-term, so I’m in it for the marathon and not the sprint, so pace is important.**Mid-Year Review:**July 18th is the halfway mark of the year.The perfect time to evaluate your life and business roadmap for the year and set yourself up for a strong finish to 2018.**Are you on the right track?**Do you know where you are headed?Are you doing everything necessary to get there?Are you in control or are you in reaction mode?**Summary of Episode:**I share my content strategy and plan for the second half of 2018 as I get ready to refresh and head out for a 2-week vacation to Nantucket.I plan my summer vacation by planning my 3rd and 4th quarter content strategy and business goals.My version of work-life balance.The Podcast HiatusI shared in Episode 149 The Freedom Show that I was going to take an indefinite hiatus from this podcast.I do not know when Episode 151 will be published or I may launch a brand new show.I am not putting pressure or making any grand promises as I do not know. I just know I am making the right decision because it is from my gut and heart.The 2018 RoadmapIn Episode 122: The 2018 Roadmap Show, the priorities I listed were:Priority #1: Murphy Concierge (Generating Income)Priority #2: Tutorials & Classes:Priority #3: WritingPriority 4: Ask Mike MurphyPriority 5: YouTubePriority 6: Health & WellnessMid-Year Reaction:Wow! I did a really good job with that Roadmap.Note: podcasting did not make the list of priorities, but it is of upmost importance to my content puzzle and should be for many brands and businesses.Audio & Podcasting are extremely important and effective as we move into a mobile-dominated world. I am not going anywhere. I just need to find the rhythm which will come from adjusting the format and possibly the entire topic or concept. It’s not firing on all cylinders and I know it.

Creating content drawing from my own personal experiences that others can relate to and make a connection to me. I am looking to make content that strikes a nerve and hits home with others.I’m not concerned with how much content I create on this trip, but I am going to explore and experiment with my cameras and audio equipment and see what I can come up with. .Micro-storytelling is my goal. It’s how I teach. I take big concepts and break off pieces instead of trying to cover too much. This takes discipline and can be challenging as simple is not easy. This is how I want to approach storytelling. Snippets of the journey when pieced together tell a larger story.Storytelling Homework: In Nantucket will be to create some micro-content and just see what is working and what is not.

The Art of Letting Go“The secret to happiness is freedom… And the secret to freedom is courage. ”–Thucydides, PhilosopherToday is all about freedom, happiness and the power of letting go andEpisode Summary:I have spent the past few months aggressively purging and de-cluttering my physical and digital environments and taking inventory of my business and life.Taking inventory means looking in the mirror and doing an honest self-audit.One of the difficult truths or realities I came to terms with in doing a self-audit is this podcast is holding me back and it is weighing me down.My stubbornness and determination could keep it going forever, but the reality is it has become a bit of a burden and I know that is not healthy.I have had to remind the self-critic in me that letting go is not the same as quitting or giving up. It simply means letting go to make room for something new.Announcement: Mike Murphy Unplugged is going on Summer Hiatus.I have decided to press the pause button on Mike Murphy Unplugged after episode 150.I am not done podcasting, just taking a break for now.I started Mike Murphy Unplugged in September of 2015 and I have published a new episode every Friday morning at 6:00 am without fail. I started this podcast to help me find my voice as a creative and to give myself a foundation and platform to teach. I am extremely proud of the body of work I have created and would not trade the experience for the world, but it’s time to start a new chapter.My Backstory of Things:I moved from Colorado to Montana to Portland to New Hampshire and back to Colorado and traveled everywhere in between often living out of my Subaru wagon or VW Van.The freedom and independence I had was largely due to not owning much stuff.Being debt-free and not wanting or requiring extraneous things allowed me to be swift and pick up and go when an opportunity to travel knocked.One Man BandYou hear me say that I am a One Man Band a lot.This independence is what the term represents to me.The ability to move and do what I want on my terms.This comes from me having control and not being tied down to things.I can pick up and go whenever I want.I am putting in the hard work in my business to allow me to work from anywhere in the world. That is the life I want.For me, simplifying and de-cluttering and cutting back to only having the essentials is about having control over the things that matter most in life and doing eliminating things that are not helping me achieve my business goals.It’s easy to get stressed and overwhelmed and feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and I think a lot of you may feel this way. I refuse to live a life filled with negativity and stress and conflict, and getting rid of excess is my remedy for peace of mind regaining control.The less I have the better I feel.My Minimalist ProcessFor the past several months I have been actively cleaning house on my physical and digital spaces and I’ve turned it into a game almost to see how much stuff I can get rid of.I started thinning things out. Everything. Even things that are small or you think don’t take up much room. It’s amazing how getting rid of the small stuff makes such a difference.I went room by room, drawer by drawer and bag by bag.Any gear or tool or attachment big or small that I did not use or need on a regular basis went out to the pod shed to be given away or sold on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.I cleaned out every cupboard in my kitchen and got rid of excess silverware, gadgets, plates, glasses, mugs, spices, pots and pans.Condiments in the fridge.Cleaning supplies. All gone.The little things you never notice make a huge difference when you get rid of them.I took generic artwork off the walls and got rid of furniture thaSupport the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

All about Instagram TV. Episode Summary:What is IGTV?How does it work?Why might you use it for your business & brand?How do I plan on using it for Mike Murphy Co?Follow me on Instagram & [email protected] is IGTV?IGTV was launched in late June 2018 by Instagram.Instagram is owned by Facebook. There are now over 1 Billion users on Instagram.There are over 2 Billion users on Facebook.IGTV is a standalone app, separate from Instagram, but you can access IGTV from the main Instagram app. So what exactly is IGTV?Many are referring to it as TV for mobile devices, aka your phones.The channels on IGTV are you and me. Every content creator is their own channel and it is open to anyone and everyone.IGTV gives you a channel for you to create content that people browsing IGTV and can stop and watch and if they like what they can see, they can let you know by liking or commenting and following you, just like on Instagram. When you open IGTV, videos start playing automatically. Just like when you turn on your TV. Instagram gives you some options to browse including:For You, Explore, Following & Popular and you can search for creators. You cannot search for topics, but you can search for channels.Open the IGTV app and videos will start playing or if you are in the main Instagram app, just look in the upper right for the Orange TV icon and that will take you into IGTV.How Does IGTV Work?IGTV is all about vertical videos for your phone.The correct aspect ratio for IGTV is 9:16.The 9 is the width and the 16 is the height.This is the opposite of horizontal videos you would post on YouTube which have an aspect ration of 16:9. Just think vertical. Taller than it is wide. Tip: Do not place text or important elements or graphics close to the edges when making videos for IGTV or they may get caught off on certain phones. The most common size you will likely use for IGTV is 1080 px wide by 1920 pixels high. This is what your iPhone shoots and is the exact same aspect ratio and size for Instagram Stories.Videos you make for IGTV must be a minimum of 15 seconds long and a maximum of 10 minutes long. For accounts with over 10,000 followers & verified accounts can post videos up to 1-hour long, but for now, the average creator is limited to a maximum of 10-minutes per video. You can upload videos from your phone or in a web browser like Chrome or Safari which is pretty convenient. You can select a Custom Thumbnail or Cover Image.You can add a Title & DescriptionAnd you have the option to Share to your Facebook Pages.If you do have over 10,000 followers and find you have the option to upload 1-hour videos, you will have to use a web browser. Uploading from a phone is not an option for the long videos.Viewers of your IGTV videos can leave comments that will show up in both IGTV and Instagram. They can also like and share to friends. IGTV also integrates with Instagram Stories in that you can create links in your Stories and viewers can simply swipe up and it will take them directly to any video you link to on your IGTV channel.So Why Should You Consider Using it for your business or brand?For starters, remember the stat about Instagram & Facebook having 3 Billion users, well that is one important reason. Instagram is massively popular and IGTV could be a really big deal for creators and brands to get exposure and market your business. IGTV is the first of its kind to focus on video made for phones (vertical) and mobile devices is how people are currently consuming the most content today, so the bottom line is IGTV is Support the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged

Today’s episode is the overview and breakdown Podfest Multimedia Expo 2018 held at the Wyndham Resort in Orlando, Florida from Feb 8–10, 2018Episode Includes:What is Podfest Multimedia Expo?Why did I attend for the third year in a row?What were my goals and expectations for attending Podfest 2018?What did I learn or takeaway from the event that I can apply to my podcast or business?What is Podfest MultiMedia Expo:Podfest an educational and training conference for independent podcasters created by Chris & Katie Krimitsos that originated in Tampa, but moved to Orlando to attract a more international audience. The Event:Podfest Multimedia Expo 2018 was February 8–10th, 2018Early bird pricing was $249Hotel Rates at Wyndham Resort in Orlando: $139/nightThe Schedule:The Podfest Schedule is jam-packed and tight, but everything starts and ends on time. There are sessions where everyone attends and then breakout sessions where you have options. 2018 introduced a YouTube track for video creators.Why Did I Go?2018 was my 3rd year attending Podfest. Year 1: 2016I went as a new podcaster looking for advice and ideas about podcasting in general and to get my name in front of a community of podcasters.Year 2: 2017I went with more focus on Mike Murphy LLC and less to learn about podcasting. I wanted to be around people who were having success with their podcast and/or business and absorb and learn as much as I could and if I was in a position to help someone, then maybe I would generate new business opportunities. Year 3: 2018It was all about the networking for me. I know the direction I want to take Mike Murphy LLC and I’ve been on the scene now for a few years creating consistent content, and my main goal for Podfest 2018 was to build new and stronger relationships in the content creation space that I know I’ll be in for a long time. Why I’ll go every year:Podfest attracts a really kind and friendly community of podcasters and creators and entrepreneurs that genuinely want to help each other out. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced at a conference and I know it has a lot to do with the organizer and a big reason why Podfest will be on my calendar year after year.Why You Should Go:I said this in last year’s recap of Podfest, but if you are on a similar journey as me trying to create the life you want, you can not do it all on your own and the secret to everything in life involves people connecting with people and making things happen.Introvert? Me, too. I struggle at conferences and events because it is difficult for me to go from conversation to conversation and I get tired of talking and being social. I love people but… Why do you think I resonate with the term One Man Band? I’d much rather sit in the back of the room and people watch and observe and learn as much as possible. But, suck it up and give it your all.No excuses. Go to industry events when you have the chance. I went to Podfest 2018 to be around podcasters, creators, creatives, personal brands and people who share similar interests and goals as me. Creative entrepreneurs who are working hard and learning from each other and trying to make a dent in the universe someway or somehow. There is power in numbers and when the numbers are filled with like-minded creators on a similar journey, well it is impossible not to learn and be inspired attending an event such as Podfest.My Takeaways:Besides a doozy of a cold, What did I learn or takeaway from Podfest 2018? There were tons of things bSupport the showSubscribe To Weekly Newsletter:AI Unplugged
