From the pastWe shall learn our future.   And it'sfull of exciting art.   It's.   yes. Welcome,everyone, to the   fourth season of the Valuefor Value podcast.   My name is Kyrinand I am the host   of The Mere Mortals,Mere Mortals   Book Reviewsand also this podcast,   which is for digitalcontent creators.   We want to connect deeperwith the audience   and don't want to do iton the normal mechanisms   that you wouldperhaps do it through,   you know,   PayPal and Spotifyand putting up ads   and all thissort of thing.   No, this is for how you   can directly connectwith your audience   and using thisthrough the exciting   new modelmethod of value for value.  

So it's been a while.   I'm hereon the 4th of March 2024.   I did promisethat I would be back   much sooner than this,and I obviously was   very incorrect about thatand you hear a bit   more about thatat the end of the podcast.   So just stay tunedfor that.   I'm going to go today   as is basically kind oflike a recap episode   of everything we coveredin the first three season.   What's coming upfor season four?   A little   look at perhapssome collaborators   that I'm working withfor this season,   and then just some stuffat the end   related to the BoostaGram Lounge.   Latest developmentsin podcasting 2.0.  

Why Value for value?   Essentially all of thesesorts of things.   So let's just jump into,I suppose, a recap.   Recapand what the focus for   this seasonis going to be.   So season one was allabout the philosophy.   So I had episodes likeThe Value of Tough Love,   Why Freeze and FreeThings like This?   And it was really just   trying to explainnot only for the   for you at home,the viewer,   the listener,but for myself,   what exactly makes upvalue for value?   And it's inits core principles.   So that's alwaysthe season.   I kind of recommend forsomeone who wants to know.   Just like the deeperunderlying things,   Season twowas really focussed   about podcastingand podcasters   and how they wereimplementing value   for value in their shows.  

And this is where we seeit was a mix of techniques   of how to ask, of   implementing   different strategiesof gamification,   of all of thesesorts of things.   And then we came onto season three   and that culminatedin my book   Reviews Channel   where I really tried toexplain as best as I could   how I was implementingeverything I'd learned   from everyone else.   Season three was much moreon the technical focus,   so we were lookingat technical developments.   I was really explaining   how I thoughtthe combination   of RSS, v4 V and BTC,the three acronyms   worked perfectly togetherand they worked perfectly   because they had a bunch   of shared propertiesself-sovereign ity   of being permissionlessof value transfer   and permissionlessto anyone to to want to,   to join access,all of these sorts of   wonderful things.  

So that was,I suppose I looking at   technical things as well,   and we started to talk   a little bit   about some of the excitingthings   going onwith related to blogging   and how it could work.   And with that   especially a valuefor value music,   which I covered a coupleof times over there.   So season four,   what are we going to doin season four?   Well,   this is all about trying   to take a historicallook at trends   to see where we're going.   Referencing what I said   right at the startthere from the past,   we shall learn our future   and it's fullof exciting art.   So what   I have really been doing   over these   last three monthssince I've been away   is I've been readingquite a few books   and in particular onthe book Reviews channel.  

I usually tend to focus on   older books, on classics.   So things you know   from written at least20 years ago or longer.   And I did do somethinga little bit different   with some of the bookreviews,   which I was I was readingmuch more modern book.   So bookspublished within the last,   you know, five, ten years.   And these would be thingslike The Inevitable   by Kevin Kelly of Freeby Chris Anderson,   The Long Tail by ChrisAnderson   Colemanis there by Lewis Hyde.   And the book was By orI've forgotten his name,   John B Thomson, I believe.   And this was all   just so I could really get   an idea of what'sgoing to happen with   the future of,of publishing of   of contentjust in general.  

So musicobviously book was   that was all aboutthe e-book,   the e-book   and the publishingindustry, how that changed   and technological trends   and thingsgoing like that.   And with all of thesetrends,   I was just noticinga common theme occurring,   which is that thingsare going to change.   There's there's definitelygoing to be change.   No, Spotify is not goingto stay   the way it is   and just be like thisfor the next 20 years,   that that'snot how technology works.   And I think   a lot of these thingsare indicating   that we're going towards a   a more open future, a more   a future fullof collaboration of   actually usingwhat I talked about   before, before the RSS andand Bitcoin   and how they all mergetogether.  

Now, what we're also   going to be doingthis season is   and distinguishingthe season   as I'm going to bedoing some collaborations.   So this is going to be,   I suppose, a fun,exciting new thing for me.   You have already hearda little bit of it   right at the start there,which was some music,   but I also have threepeople who I just want to   to call out and say,   you'll be hearing   or seeing partsof their work,   their voices,their their art   through that throughoutthis coming season.   And so the first oneI've got here is Mr.   Cole McCormick, who is ahow would I describe Cole?   So he does many differentthings.  

He's a v4v director.   So he put out what I think   is one of the first films   directly created withthe value for value model   in mind of   putting this out   as a film,   monetising solelythrough that of   including peoplein the splits.   And you can find this   this short filmthat he created   called Magic   Mushroom Fun   time on any of your   podcasting appsbecause it is a video   that was distributedthroughout RSS   and Colehas been working with me   on the BookReviews channel   for about the last twoor three months   and we were doingsome quotes together   and I might talk aboutthis a little bit later   about how the modelhas to change   dependingon your audience.  

And and I've found someinteresting things   related to that, to theto the book reviews.   But Cole has been doingsome quotes for me   because whatI was finding was   I was doing these   book reviews   and then   I tryand read them out myself   and I   just stumble over my wordslike, I'm   not that greatat sticking to the line.   I haven't doneany acting classes per se,   or if I have,I definitely didn't   enjoy them and stuckaround with them.   So he's been   helping me out with that   and what I'm going to   get him to do   and what he's agreed to dowith me   is to to takesome of these book quotes   from all of these booksthat I was reading,   talking about the pastand how   technology has changedand how it has moved   certain industriesin certain directions.  

And he's going to behelping me out with that.   So he's   going to be providingsome quotes   from these books   and I'm going to beusing them   to form an argument   of of why I think valuefor value as a future.   And that is the   the trendthat we're going towards   just so you can geta taste of his voice.   I took this one.   This is one of the   favourite quotesthat I got him to do,   and this was from   which book was   The Winter of Discontentby John Steinbeck.   And so here's just alittle taste of of Cole's   great voiceacting abilities.   And we might notget the funniness of this   because it'll probably bea bit more dry and the,   the content I'mgetting him to read out   will be a bit not,not as intriguing   as this, but nevertheless,here's a taste of it.

What a wonderful thinga woman is.   I can admire what they do,   even if I don't understand   why what Margieand Mary went   through their pleasantlitany.   What have you donewith your hair?   I like it.   That's your colour.   You should always wear it.   The harmless recognitionsignals of women.   I thought ofthe most feminine story   I ever heard.   Two women meet, one cries.   What have you donewith your hair?   It looks like a wig.   It is a wig.   Well, you'd never know it.   Maybe these are deeperresponses than we know   or have any right to know.  

[00:08:27] Unknown:

Thank you, Cole.   Amazing.   And that was amazingbook as well.   I love John   Stone Steinbeckas a as an author.   So Cole, he also hasa podcast called America.   Plus,   if you want to hear moreabout him   and his his drawings,his learnings of   his waysof trying to find new ways   of communication,that's a really great,   great placeto to tune into him.   And he's also findable,I guess, searchable   on Twitterat Cole McCormick one.   So you want to connectwith Cole,   you'll you'll be hearing   and hearing hima lot more over these next   next couple of months.   Next,we're going on to a little   bit of a random one.  

This is a guy called Sven,and I actually met him   at one of my localBitcoin meet ups.   And I remember he   he had a littlepresentation   where he was showingall of these   really cool gifts   that he was creatingand G.I.s s gifts.   And you'll see this nowin your chapter artwork.   If you're if you'retuning in after the fact,   if you're live with me   now, unfortunately,you can't do that.   PerhapsI will go on YouTube   at some point,   just so you can seethis as well,   becauseI'd be kind of fun.   But inany case, I spend has   created all of thesethings and I was like,   man, I just, you know,   how does someone like himmake money for   for creating giftsfor for doing things?  

Like what?   And for him, it wasn't.   It was just a passionproject.   But I was like, you knowwhat? These are so cool.   I really love artwork.   I love the chapters of   putting all of these senseinto podcasting 2.0   and thankfullynow my my host   blueberry is up the limit   for what I can includeand so I can include gifts   now inin my chopped artwork.   So what you'll be seeing   is every now and thensome random little,   you know, Bitcoin things,   just to keep itinteresting,   especially if I'm onthe topic of bitcoin and,   and talking aboutwhy it's why it's helpful   and why it's   part of my value for valuephilosophy,   you'll see those arepopping up so well too.  

Thanks Sven,very much for doing that.   He is in the splits,of course, as is Cole.   And if you want to findhim, he's also   searchable on Twitterat a Starfury Flames.   If you if you wantto connect more with him,   the final collaboration.   So we've got,you know, voice acting,   we've got the imageryand graphics.   We're going to havesome music. Nice.   So this is the doerfelswho is also   helping us out.   And you heard part of thevery song Bloodshot Lies,   which I'm going to beusing for the intro music   for for this season,   because man,it pumps me up.   I love that song. And   so the Doerfelsfor those who don't know,   are a bandbased out of Nashville,   and it's a band of fivebrothers, it's hard   to count five brothers,mom, dad and sister.  

There'sthere's a lot of them.   And they've created   all of thismusic over the years.   They're not an active bandat this moment,   but they have this wholeback catalogue of music   and Sir TJ The Wrathful   TJ Doerfel   He heard about all of thisexciting stuff   going on with value   for valueand value for value music,   and he wasone of the first people   to truly stop   start uploading tracksand to   generatea bit of interest.   And in this valuefor value   music of people who have   created their musicand instead of, you know,   they had their shotand trying to do it   throughthe traditional methods   of the music industry,   of doing it   through Spotify,and they found that   it just didn'twork for them.  

But they're having a kindof renaissance moment,   doing it again throughvalue for value music.   And so   you'll see now I've also   included the Dolefulas a as a split into this.   We'll be talkinga little bit more later   about the value of timesplits, what I can   and can't doat this very moment.   But nevertheless Willwill be playing some music   not only justfrom The Doerfels   but from other peoplethroughout this podcast,   and they will beparticipating in this   and helpingto collaborate with me.   And if you joininto the live stream   like Chad did beforeand I absolutely blasted   is is that because   I didn't have my levelsfully sorted out yet   which they will be,do not worry.  

Then you'llalso be hearing   a lot of their music   because I'll be playingthem in my pre   stream and poststream music.   So once again,thank you for the dollars   if you want to find themdoleful verse dot com.   I know it's the placewhere   they're directing people   and that's spelt D O er f e l verse.COM   And then if you alsowanted to connect with t j   he's so t jthe wrathful on   the podcastindex Mastodon.   So that is,   I suppose my,   my collaborationis just a little bit   of what's going onfor this season   and I want to get intothe boostagram Lounge   now to thank some peoplefrom from the last episode   becauseit has been a while   and we do need to   call out some peopleand give some thanks.  

So Mr. Adam Curry, canyou please take it away?   Welcometo the Value for Value   Boostagram Lounge.   Ooh, nice.   Thank you, Adam, forintroducing the Boosta   Gram Lounge.   So this is the sectionwhere I   give some call outs.   Thank some peoplewho have been helping to   to support the show in amonetary form, especially,   which I really,   really do advocate   doing itthrough booster grams,   which is where you cansend a message   directlywithin your podcasting app   and this will bein any good app.   So not all of them do it.   So placeslike Spotify and Apple   where they do not do it,but places like True Fans,   podcast, podcast gurucurio are going to breeze.  

I'm trying to remember   medicall off the top of my head   Fountainobviously Pod friend   And is there one morethat I'm forgetting?   That could be.   But those,those are the main ones   at the very least.   And you can send a messagedirectly within the app.   It will comedirectly to me.   It will also come directly   to all the people I havein my splits,   which is very cool.   And this is all aboutcollaboration.   So, you know, 5%   I've allocated to going to   too many of these podcast   app developersto encourage them   to keep doingwhat they're doing.   I've got 15%going to call McCormack   because he's creatingthis music,   creating these the voiceacting clips for me   on the fly each week.  

So he's having to puta bit of effort in   and then 10%is going to spend stuff   for your flamesand 10% is also going to   the doors as appreciationfor what they're doing.   So this is the plan,   the current set up thatI've got this read out.   Basically,I'm taking your time card.   So we have from November2nd, 20, 23,   that's a full three monthsago 2100 set sent   using fountainfrom McIntosh   and he says great seasonMacintosh to Macintosh   thank you very much   he is the host of theSatoshis Plebs podcast.   It's changed his namea couple of times.   He's appeared on on this   very podcastmultiple times,   each time with a new name.  

So yeah.   Macintosh Thankyou very much, my friend.   And he's going to a greatBitcoin podcast.   If you want to knowmore about Muse and News   and the underlyingprecepts of of Bitcoin,   we have,   not only   is he appearing on herewith his crazy   voice acting, but he'shelping support the show.   We have comic, comic one,he says.   Long live value for value.   Onward to a new season,   get rested, recalibrate   the valueis all around you.   3333 sentusing fountain again.   Thank you, my friend.   Much much appreciated.   Yes. And I did restand recalibrate.   So I am feeling,you know, from   feeling actually sickat this very moment.  

I'm doing pretty good.   Thank you man.   We have from Novembersix circus media.   And I I'm pretty surethis is circus as like sir   and then see you assessmedia as in he's no agenda   a night at the roundtable   and he saysinteresting explanation   in managingyour expectations   as a B for the producer.   One thing I thinkcame through, though   not explicitly,is the idea   of what you,the Creator, deserve.   That is a key difference   in V for you,the Creator does not   determinethe product value.   Very true. Thank you.   So whether you wereconsistent   in production or a one   and done is strictlya personal decision   and irrelevant   to the value of receivedin return   they would be wise tocontinue to.  

Can you?   Sorry, this is why I getcold to read out things.   So stuff   I'm not thoughwould be wise   to continuepractising aircraft   to improveand increase our exposure.   One, two, 345sets sent using fountain.   Thank you very much.   Now what's great   now is nowthat the bitcoin price   has moved up tonearly 100 k Australian,   it's reallyeasy in my mind   to know how much peoplehave sent through.   And so   at this very moment,1000 sets   is about a dollar for me.   So that's,   you know, $12.34but is sent through there.   So thank you.   Thank you very much,my friend.   I very much appreciate it.  

And yes, agreed the valuefor value model.   What I kind of describe itlike I describe Bitcoin,   which is on the surface,it's it's   extremely simple.   It's just it'sa decentralised money,   an internet money,a digital money.   You know,   what's the what'smore simple than that?   Value for value?Extremely simple.   I create a product   for free   and distributeit out to you,   and then you just return   some valuein some shape and form.   But then you get intothe weeds of like,   okay, if I createdin this particular manner,   you know,as a documentary,   how do I get peopleto know   that I do the valuefor value model   and get them   to return the valuefor what it's created   and I've seen a lot of   discussions about this,   and I think everyonehas to go on their own   individual path,   which iswhat makes it hard   value forvalue is is not a   like you said, like a oneand done type thing.  

I think   even if you do that, it's   that you've got to createthe you've got   to create the base,the support,   the expectations ofthis is how it's done.   And I think that takesa long time to be honest.   So doing itas a one and done like one   movie and expectingvalue for value two   to work monetarilyand you be rich   and all those   sorts of things,   I don't think it reallyworks like that, but   that I, you know,that's what he said.   It kind of comes across.   I did see Sam Sethi,who was   streaming it a lot.   I do see a lot of my owntest booth   for this last season.  

And I do see Chad,who was joining us live,   and he said   dolls in the preshow333 sets and using POD was   and then also awe do it live another 333.   So thank you very much,Chad.   Much appreciate it.   He's he's been sharingsome of the clips   and episodes of the value   for value show acrossdifferent mediums as well.   So I really do appreciatethat meant that   that that helps a lotand that helps a lot   and will be talkingabout value   for value in the waysyou can contribute back   shortly right atthe end of this episode.   So sorry.   There was one other   person who sent a messageand this was so bray.  

I'm not sure I called itout on the last time,   but he said V for Vis a future of all payment   lightning crashes,and then he's got his his   was that rock emoji   and that was 3333sent using pot verse.   I might have calledthat out live.   If not, I didwant to talk about him   shortly because he's he's   doingsome interesting things   which are helping outmusicians.   So let's go into thissection here,   which is I suppose,   some of my latestdevelopments   and this is just keeping   you up to date withwhat's going on in the,   you know,   value for value world,some interesting concepts,   tests, proofs, ideasthat people are working on   and which are helpingcreators like myself   be able to monetise andconnect with the audience   at the same time.  

So there's three things   I wanted to talk abouthere actually for Soledad.   So librariespoint in here.   So first one,   there's a new thingcoming out   called Fountain Radio.   If you go to   I think it's FountainRadio dot   if am, I probably shouldhave brought this up   beforehand.   Radio,radio dot, Fountain dot   FM is whatI wanted to call that.   And this is just a littlewebsite based thing they   created.   And it's essentiallylike a jukebox.   And you can,   you know,   pay to have your song   get put tothe top of the jukebox.   They've got a chat inthere as well.   It's not necessarilypeople.  

They're all partsof the day.   It's kind of hardto actually know.   They don'thave timestamps, so   you're not sure exactly,   but it's worth going ontoand just playing around   and you're helpingto support musicians   when you're   uploading your favouritesongs in there.   And it's a great way tofind your music as well.   So Radio Dot,Fountain, Dot FM   is is   a great place for you to,to find new music and to,   to, tosend it back to them.   The next one I had here   was just a shout outto Blueberry   for implementingthe value time splits.   So how value time splitsfor those who don't know   is whenI as a podcast creator   can referenceanother piece of work   and all the donations   or a percentage of that,   a large percentage will goto the actual creator.  

And this is essentially   how value for valuemusic is working.   So I'm going to playa song right at the end of   each episode.   And what will happen   is that when you'relistening to that   in a post hand,the the split,   instead of going,you know, 100% to the,   you know, 60% to meand then 50%, 50%   to call 10%to other people,   what's going to happenis it will switch   and I'll put it 90%to that musician with 10%   then going to to me   and the rest of the peoplewho are in my splits,   obviously that'sreducing it down a lot.   So they won't really begetting that much,   which is is kind of finebecause it's   it's musicthat that is being played.  

Now. The cool thing forthis is   it's really taking offwith music   and that's   why you're seeing   all these value for valuemusic shows popping up.   And if you go on to   a place like Ellen Beats,which is a an app   which you can downloadonto your desktop   and I believeonto your phone,   if you go to musicshows there,   there's a wholebunch at the moment. I'll   stilldouble to read them out.   Also,I've got rolling on show   radio story on BrewsterGram Ball,   the side stream statsand sounds   VU for the podcastIt's a mood   the fairly fun show   black cat music podcastmixtape wave like Martin   made a music outside inwith Jemmy V   Lightning thrashesby column owner   so Lee Bright   upbeat Home-Grown hitsPhantom   power music outand before this games.  

nice.   I might be addingmy own little one.   Probably not in the next   four months,but maybe after that.   I really think that wouldbe a fun thing to do.   And so whatthese V for the music   shows do, essentially   they will play music,they'll switch the, the,   the, the splitsto go to the musicians   while the music playing.   And then when they'retalking again   like a DJ, like aa V a VF veejay,   then the splits willgo back to them.   So what we're going to dois unfortunately we don't   have the ability to do itlive. Blueberry.   It doesn't do thatat this moment.   So what I will be doingis instead in   post ten, I'll be doingthe Valley time split.  

So if you're listeningto this after the fact   and you're listeningto the music set section   segment, the splits,we go into there   to the musician.   Now what's also cool   is I'm going to do it,   for example,for that little piece   that call, righta red off.   I'm actually going to bedoing it for my own show   because that was taken   from one of the bookreviews.   So not only can you do itthrough music,   but you can also do it   through otherpieces of work.   So you could do it throughspoken word,   you could do itthrough audiobooks.   I know   there's there's some hints   that some peopleare thinking of doing some   some audio books   or perhaps even callwho I see in the chat.  

And he sent through   1111 sites and he said,We are so back.   Yes, we are cool.   I know he even   he has been havingsome thoughts   of perhapsdoing some audio books   or some cartsor something like that.   So you could be ableto reference   not only music,but it could be, you know,   your favourite poem.   If someone has createdthat as a as a RSS feed   and you know, it's   in the public domainand things like that.   So very cool is excitingstuff going on with that   and you will be   noticing me implementingthat as best as I can.   The final oneI wanted to give   a shout out to was Home   who I think are doingreally cool things with   just thethe hosting for podcasts.  

I don't know how   this guyhas got his whole set up,   but basicallyif you go over to him   at home, DotCole, help me out.   Cole is a podhome. Dot FM.   Let me quickly typein pot home dot FM. Yep.   And if you go there and   sign up, it'sjust a one time   like a one plan fee,which I believe is 15 U.S.   a month.   And he's even   got some promo codesand things like that.   And you can createas many podcasts   as you wantand put in all of these   sorry, 16, 1599 a month   and put   in all of theseexciting things   like chapterslike using value time.   So it's like being ableto go live.  

I know Cole McCormickdoes that with his show   America Plus as well.   So lots of interesting,   cool thingsgoing on there.   And Ithink it's just worthy   shouting outthe hosts like Blueberry   who are   implementing thingsand and and Barry at home   for implementing   the tools that creatorslike myself want to use.   So super, super cool.   Finally there was ThunderRoad dot Media.   So if you are a musicianand you're wanting   to get started of using   puttingyour music up online   so that people can find itand so that,   you know, peoplelike myself can play it,   this is a great placefor you to go to   because hehe basically does   all of the work for you.  

He he helps create it.   He takes a 3% share.   It's a it's a pretty goodpretty good service.   I haven't used it myself.   So I'm just using like   from what I seefrom the outside,   it looks likea pretty good service.   So he's definitely doing   some really cool thingsand I would recommend   people would go thereand try that   if you are a musician.   Thunder Road DotMedia is How to to type   that into your browserand find that   okay,the last section here is   just a little   section herejust just talking about   why I really encouragepeople to,   to use all of the coolnew technology.  

And I had a chatwith this guy   called Trevor recently,and I did this on the Me   Models podcast   and Trevoris a pretty big v4v fan,   but he's nota Bitcoin fan.   And so he was just sayinglike,   you know,   I feel there's too muchemphasis being put on the   of doing all of thesethings through Bitcoin.   Like it's hard.   Peopledon't understand that   there's better optionsof doing it through PayPal   or Patreonor things like that.   And we had an interestingdiscussion.   What I personally wantto do though is is like   I said, this is more onthe cutting edge.   This is more meexperimenting   with new tools, newtechniques, new tactics   with the new technology.  

And I think it justhas some very,   very superior benefitsthat whilst are difficult,   they're difficult.   Like the Internet wasdifficult back in 1995.   They're difficult likethe social media platforms   were in, you know, 2008.   It takes time to get usedto these things.   It takes timeto test them out.   And for a relativenewcomer to to   come in to them,   I can say in the lastthree years   they've gotten much,much better.   Sending a boosthas never been easier.   Getting some Bitcoinand Lightning Network   has never been easier.   It's still hard,   there's no doubt.  

It's still   it's still a little   bit hard, butit is getting easier and   the thing is,   it just enablesso many more cool things.   The splits,it's programmable money.   I think it's just a   like it is a revolutionarything to   to be able to use   And so   that's why advocatesadvocate for it so hard.   And this is nothing to dowith Bitcoin itself   in termsof whether you think   it's a good investmentor anything like that.   No, this is just mesaying like,   I encourage youto use these things   because I think they aregoing to be the future and   I think it is worthwhile   playing aroundwith them now   and being able to connectwith with your   favourite creator,or if you're a creator,   being able to connectwith your audience   because it'snot just about the money,   it is aboutthe whole value for value,   respect the whole valuefor value philosophy.  

So that gets me on tomy last little thing here.   Time, talent and treasure.   This is how you can helpsupport   this value for valueShow time   Sharing this episodewith a digital creator.   It would be amazingbecause this is the   type of peoplewho I really want   to try   and direct this towardsso that they can know   whether they bea musician,   whether they be a digitalartist like like Sven is,   whether they be a voiceactor,   whether, you know,whatever their art is,   whatever it is   that they're creatingand that can   be distributedin a physical medium,   sorry,in a digital medium.  

I think this   this kind of philosophy   can can reach outto everyone   and this is whyI think we'll start to see   a lot more collaboration   happening in this nextyear, especially of people   like myself and otherswho are   trying to get other peopleinterested in   working togetherand creating new things.   And I hope this podcastepisode does that.   I hope the digital artthat's   that'sappearing on your screen   from time to time, thatCarl's voice acting,   that the music I play,   I hope that   all of that   creates a new product   that is interestingand exciting.   So definitely share   this episodewith the digital creator.  

You can come join me live.   I will for the next month,be going live at 10 a.m.   Australian EasternStandard Time,   which is UTC on aon a monday,   which is UTC zeromidnight.   So wherever you arein the world,   if your time zone isplus three, then   it will be at 3amiexpect you to join me.   No, I mean it would begreat if you did, but   that that's probably   the easiest way ofof figuring.   You're figuring outwhat exactly time I am.   I do put a live pendingnotification.   So if you are in any ofthe podcast apps like   pop verse and podcast guru   and Fountain and Truefans,   you will see that there isa live notification   or a pending statusfor this podcast.  

So that'sprobably the best way   that you'll be able to seewhen actually it is   that I'm goinglive talent.   I want to know,is there anything I can do   to make this show better?What annoys you?   What resources are similar   to the iOS appoverlap of these?   I've already mentionedbooks and technology.   If you think there'sany books   that I would findintriguing   that would be helpfulto cover   on this next valuefor value season.   I would love love for youto recommend   one of those.   Obviously I'd say yesand send it in via boost.   But if you don'twant to do that,   I understandI've had people send   messages to mevia Facebook.  

I had a really nice onerecently on them   via Facebookfor the book reviews,   which is blew me away.   It was ait was a fantastic message   from someone who   really,really helped me out   and knowing whathe enjoyed,   what he didn't enjoy aboutthe the podcast episode.   So you can alsoreach out there   if you're uncomfortable   using the best gramsand things like that.   The last recommendationtreasure.   I said,   Well, obviouslyyou got a couple options   available for you.   I recommend usingany of the podcast apps.   If you go to mea modest podcast dot   com slash support,   I've got a tutorial guidethere   on on what they look like,how to use them   as well as some linksfor my other main shows   the mere mortals.  

There's also youcan also do it directly   through the podcast   index websitethat supports the splits.   If none of those are   interesting to youand you like   and I want to support you,   but I just don't want to   do it throughany of those methods.   I do have a PayPal.   There is a link downbelow, unfortunately.   Obviously I can't splitthat up between everyone.   It's just too hard,you know,   if I'm sending moneylike that   back, backand forth to the ten   different peoplein my splits, it's   it's not going to workso great.   So what I've committed tois any money that   comes through the PayPal,   I send that onto developers   to help encourage them   to keep creatingcool products and to   and in particular appapplication developers.  

So yeah, that's   that's thethe ways that you   can supportthe show monetarily   and by the value for valuephilosophy as well.   And the last bit here is   I suppose   just like a little bitof a personal note   as to why I took some timeaway.   I was sayingin the last episode   that I wanted to be backwithin a month.   That did not happen.   Obviously.   It took me   close to three orfour months to get back.   My mom's been sick for   quite a few years now.   When she she was diagnosed   with early onsetAlzheimer's and   I thinkit was the late 2016.   And I've seen thatprogress over the years.  

And it is a cruel disease,Really, really cruel.   It's taken her mindfrom her   and it's now to the point   where it's taking her bodyfrom her as well.   And we got some bad newsrecently   that she's probablynot going to be around   with usfor too much longer.   So whilst I wantto keep doing these shows   and whilst I also want   to travel as well and so   question mark on that,   there's just some questionmarks over to,   to how long I'll be ableto sustain the season,   especially goinglive at a particular time.   Each time I think.   I think that could,could be kind of hard. So   if thereis an unexplained break.  

Yeah, but something,   something badis going wrong.   So just just know thatand you know, it's just a   a little message hereto, you know,   appreciate your family,appreciate your friends   and tell themyou love them.   Tell them to   you know,and this can also extend   to your favourite creators   because sometimesthey can go away   if if they don't feel likethey're getting support,   if they don't feel likethey're getting love.   So just a recommendationto to be kind to people   and to   to yeah, just, just,you know, show some value.   So showsome appreciation, show   some love and lifewould be really good.  

We'regoing to ended up here   we heard that song right   the start the intro musicfrom there from the Dolls   that was from this showand their song Bloodshot   Lives Blue Bloodshot Lies,which was   really my introductionto value for value music.   I thought that was justsuch a good song.   And I went, my God.   Like, there's some really,   really good musiciansout here who,   you know,just unappreciated.   I think that is an amazingsong and I wish it   got more recognition.   So I'll be playing thatat the end here and I   will be playing more Doorsmusic in the future.   As I said,   if you want a boostin this section that that   very much appreciatedbecause that boost   will predominantlygo to the doors   everyoneincluding on their split.  

So here we've got   bloodshoteyes by the doors   and we'll be backnext week with some   exciting new valuefor value topics.   So take it away.
