2. Coming Down the Pike

Hello there, all, I would just like to let you know about some things that are coming down the, I think the word is pike. coming down the pike. I've put pile. I've written pile coming down the pike is an idiom that means something is approaching or about to happen in the near future. The pike in the phrase is short for turnpike. There we are. I'm assuming that none of you are those people. Those people that say pipe, which pipe, where? Right, so some things that are coming down the pike. It's been a good week. So we're looking at. There's someone that I've been. Sounds like a confession. There's someone that I've been seeing. I've been unfaithful. No, there's someone that I've been consulting for maybe a year, a year and a half. She's a lovely woman out of, not like that. There's a lovely woman out of Chicago and I've been consulting with her and she's just got better and better and suddenly she's found herself in a position where she wants to now hire us and go for it, you know. And so that is an interesting one because it is no audio production, no video production. That's being done by someone else. But it all starts with a branding project. So we get to make the Templates, etc. And so no audio, no video, but then it's curation, social stuff, building, and, you know, publish and strategy. for that one. On a fortnightly basis. says that one. And then there is, oh, God, I want to tell you about that one. I will, I will. There's two more that I'll go into. I mean, there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. There's seven of these, but I'm only going to tell you about the ones that are above 90% of, yes, we're definitely doing it, you know. So this one's fun for Nikika and potentially Sean. Kne is back. If anyone doesn't know, why would you know? So Krin is, hey, ken.com probably. She's got her own app. She's She's AI'd herself. Anyway, Kne is an experience. She's great. She's just so much fun. She's She's like a larger than life. I think Iranian American, I think, no, Iraqi. Ooh. I mean, it doesn't matter, but it also does because I've already started saying it. You know what I mean? I think Persian. Is she Persian? I feel like she's Persian, which would be Iranian. So anyway, it doesn't matter, but it does. Think of it.. I don't know anymore. What's the thing? Yes. So she's larger than life. She's, she's amazing fun and she's just at the type of person that just I don't She just gets shit done and just wins all of the time. She's amazing. So she's coming back and this is an interesting one. So she's doing, um, it's a different type of thing. So it will lead a branding thing at the start, but she already has a brand, so it's just converting that into into the stuff. And so it's no long form. And so she's doing 50 coaching sessions over the next few months, I think it is. And and so she wants kind of each of them taken apart and curated for like medium form is what we were talking about. So there'd be an entire coaching session, but we're not going to use a long form. We're just going to harvest it for medium and short form. Cure it, you know, like we do. So we're going to curate that and then there'll be, you know, I don't know, four medium forms or whatever, the going out across the week from the one person. Or not from the one person, because we don't have to start publishing now. You know, we can just start producing. And so, yeah, that's like basically, that kind of medium short form, the curation, that type of stuff., all the posting and, you know, strategy and all that, of course, on top of that. So that's an interesting one too, which is good. Um So that's fun. And then, and that's one's on the table, I just need to quote it for it. And then there was a referral from Barrell, which I told you. So good, which I told you about. Norma. And she is a nutritionist dietician kind of vibe from Powwe, San Diego, which she didn't know is the the kind of birthplace of blink-182, but there we go. I don't think she cared when I told her either. And the interesting thing about that, so that one's going to happen And that one will be audio video, everything included fortnightly. will be that one. Standard. So the interesting thing about that, right, is she was with, or she still is with, and she's on a 10 episode contract with this company, right, who apparently quite expensive. And, and the It's weird, right? So, okay, get this. Get this. She was like, uh... She was like, how many people do you have on my interview call with me? And I was like, uh, I don't know, up to one, like, if you want someone there to be a producer, we can do that. But what we'd like to do is give a man a fish, you know. And she was like, okay. She was like, can I tell you about how it's been? I said, yeah, please do. Yeah. She was like, I dread recording. I was like, what do you mean? She was like, right. On the call with doing her interview for her podcast. All right, is a producer, her the person who records it, why is that a different person? Okay, First of all. So the person that records it, her producer, someone else, and I can't remember their role and the CEO of the company. All four of those are on every one of her interviews, of her podcast that she's doing, right? So immediately, weird as fuck, right? But it gets crazy. So she'll be recording, right? On Riverside, on Zoom, whatever it is. And, um. And she'll be like, oh, that's interesting, Chris. So I like when you said about the fact that you went down to Peru and you, you saw the natives there and it really made you, you know, it sounded like it opened your eyes on that bit. Out of nowhere. Stop, stop, stop, Norma, Norma, Norma, stop there, stop there. I think you've got, you've gone on about that too much. You need to stop there. You're losing me. No, no, no, we need to move on to the next topic, okay? How fucking weird is that? Right? So she's like, I dread every fucking recording session. She comes out with them feeling shit about herself and it's like, what the fuck, why the fuck are you even got editors? Like, what are you doing? It's fucked. So she was like, is that normal? And I was like, I don't know what to say in order to express to you the amount of not normal that is. You know? Yeah, it was weird. And so they they see, they're called Timeless Talent Management.com. And they're a team of five are a team of five women and a lead producer, producer slash editor, producer slash creative, PR slash marketing and managing director of talent. And their podcasts, they look like you, you know, they have five on their-ish, but Norma said she could only find two. um They're out of LA, which is the weirdest thing. It's just the strangest thing I've ever seen. It's really weird, man. And apparently they're expensive. They must just be really good at selling. But yeah, she was just like, I hate it I hate everything about them, but I've I'm in a 10 episode deal with them. So basically the thing is with that is she is trying to see if she can get out of it, get out of her deal. If she can, she'll come with us tomorrow. If not, then we'll we'll see what we can do. But basically, we've got a call on Wednesday, next Wednesday to go through. I was like, look, two things. Number one, I want to find out what's going on with this and we can we can catch up about, you know, what's going on with your deal and stuff like that, where you can get out of it. And number two, I don't think you should do anything else with them or otherwise until we've had just a little strategy call. Because like on on your side, I don't want I don't want to half arse anything you know? You've got a whole arse, everything. And so you want it to be right. I know you want it to be right. You said you've been planning it for the last five years. So we need to do a strategical. And then on my side of things, when you come over to us, I don't want to be dealing with stuff that is going in the right direction. So, so we're going to do that. So we're calling on Wednesday and seeing what we can do there. But either way, we'll get it sorted. So that's good. And then Ken I'm meeting on Monday, meeting K on Monday. Got a call with with Catherine from Ressonate on Tuesday. Got a call with Norma on Wednesday and on Thursday and Friday, Thursday, I've a sales coach call on Friday talking with Bruce and then Saturday. Bubble back on Sunday for the kids, not me. Anyone who is not from England won't understand all of that tenuous Craig David reference Craig David, all that one. Okay.. I'm in a good mood because sales are looking up. Sales are looking good. Sales is looking good. So I've also got, I'm proposing, no, I'm doing a proposal. No. A production proposal for an bloke on Monday That one is slightly less boring. It's about how people are good in businesses. And important. Sounds foreign to me. I don't know what he's talking about. But you know it's about that type of stuff, which is good, I suppose. And there's a lot going on with Bruce Boy from Arrival. Oh, yeah, then I've got another one, that one from the Agad Agad, Agadad Mountains, whatever it is, ain Novaoki. I used to live in upstate New York. Not that far upstate though. Anyway, so there's that on Mitvok. That's German for Wednesday. Midweek, Mitvok. So that's that. So that's another proposal I'm doing for that. So that should be pretty good. So yeah, we've got them going on. I've What was the other one? This might not be interesting for anyone. Oh, yeah, someone that we did a. Oh, yeah, I told you about that. Someone that we did a strategy project with and we were like, this is your production flow. Now he's like, I don't want to do this anymore. Can you do it? So yeah, I'm going to quote for that which is good. Brucey Boy is looking for some sponsors, which is good because he is good at getting sponsors. And that is how we're looking, though I'm sure I've missed something out. It feels like I've missed something out. But yeah, I've got some more on Zehook and stuff like that. Hook, Hook, give us the hook. There you go, 790s references. How many 90s references can we do? But yeah, so good. Good. Thank you, everyone. for your work, for your trust. and for your ears in listening almost 14 minutes into something where little over halfway through, it turned into a Craig David reference. Especially thank you to the foreigners for they have no idea who Craig David is. So thank you. It's been a good week. Here's to many more. Not very good at signoffs. This is the sign off.
