 Are we balanced? See this is Marvin. Scoot this way a little bit. This is Marvin's. Hi welcome to vlog Thursday This is Marvin's way of Making sure things are right. Yes. Hold on. Hold on. Well, oh you're messing everything up, Tom Welcome to vlog Thursday. We are recording and the red light is on those are important things. Yes Yes, indeed not but you can't really the red light is on not much is getting recorded Well, actually like a silent it would be a silent and you don't want to watch this We have to do like title cards like old-fashioned Charlie Chaplin movies old-fashioned Charlie Chaplin movies will just hold up title cards So we can get it all transcribed and have the little words on the bottom Actually, I'm thinking about that. We should just make words on the bottom of some of this stuff Oh, yeah, we just sit here drinking our coffee. We'll just put it like a scroll Which is um so a little bit of feedback we've got in a vlog Thursday and people I guess listen I never thought about this But maybe we'll actually convert it into a podcast and make it like a 30-minute podcast But people tell me that they put it on and it is some background because we don't put a lot of visual things in there Which is fine. I mean this is that's actually a lot of what vlog Thursday is kind of to me the form We've created at least I think we're still creating it. Yeah, okay. They're creating as we speak Creating while we're creating what we're creating. Yes creating we're creating what we're creating and we're talking about Maybe I should make this a podcast and at the same time like I'll keep the video and keep the uploading video But that way there's a podcast where people just want to hear us ramble on and rant about things that we do on Thursday Tom says us ramble on he means him. I can't stop talking. Okay So I had a meeting with a guy named rocket yesterday his name was rocket isn't well his name's rocket man But it's not the way hold on hold on Be careful what you say You're gonna get tweeted about I'm gonna get tweeted about Um rocket man rocket man's really cool. Okay And not the rocket man. You may have seen in Twitter Not an old album from from my John John John But he happens to be a musician and it really got me thinking yeah, I know what are the odds again? I mean rocket man's a musician. It's never been done before. Yeah, there's you're limiting yourself to your profession when your name is rocket man Yeah, he's a so this this is a we'll start with the macro of me talking to rocket man And he's a artist musician and really good what he does and I was surprised like his stuff's really well produced And he actually has some beats. He's gonna send me cuz I love some beat some use I he played some music sound that drum beats and I'm like, yeah, I was like techno say music I like he produces a few different genres, but um, I Then I met the steak Fridays that we go to and that was cool And I just went and hung out with them as you want to talk about YouTube and see he's not a very technical guy at all He's he's not even really aware that there's people being tweeted about named rocket man Like he's tweaked about me. No, no, no, not you. There's a whole nother story behind that one So back on topic right it made me think though So if you go to New York and I was just there not that long ago or you go over to LA you see a large creative community vibrant and easy to find because we're online and It's like if you looked at the coast and it sinks down to the whole Midwest it is here and I I made a kind of me reaching out to the YouTube's and The only other youtuber that's big that I'm aware of at the moment is like the Detroit boy He does really good tech reviews. He's one of the only big channels. I can name in the Midwest it was not it's just weird core of a There's people here that are creative that don't have outside influence So when he announces or actually he's got some promoters announced that rocker man's having a concert locally He gets all these people show up. He's played at all the big venues and but he's never website for them to go to like they don't know where he's playing next they just got to find out through word-of-mouth and He's really wants to be online, but there's a disconnect. I know try to figure out like there's a lot of talent to try I just found out About a few others people who are talented doing really cool stuff, but they don't have websites They don't have anything like you just have to try to find them They're concentrating on their art. They don't have time for websites. Well, and this is where the disconnect is So you look at the music industry and you have the promoters Sony records or whatever the company deals for years they were always able to take a procure talent and put it online and Of course the downside was the you know cities guys go cool on a millionaire record pusher Yeah, Sony took a 90% cut Sony made 90 million to your Yeah, not that that's wrong. I mean whatever that's here nor there The bigger thing is there's really not anyone trying to procure any of the art here And I'm trying to think about like is there ways I can help facilitate that with them I don't have time just to produce it all for them But it's not that hard and he was kind of surprised at how easy some of it was He's like really you can just do that and we started we had a great conversation with there's a talk with him See how I could help and it turned in and he's a really smart guy and he just doesn't he's kind of like Well as artists goes I don't want to participate in the system like yes of society. Yeah a certain extent I really just want to do my art But I have bills to pay so there's concerns He has like that he will not be able to live where he lives if he doesn't pay the bills Yeah, that's a very real concern So in he because he's a talented artist and produces music and has a big following So I talked to him about some ideas he's gonna pursue and it was just a really cool conversation But I made me think about the greater disconnect sometimes there is and how this little area We are here in Detroit Also, I may be producing some more Detroit videos like I want to go around Detroit and kind of show people what it is Because I notice when you search it there's just there's only a couple people I think there's one motorcycle vlogger, but he doesn't post for it off than I found there's not a lot of content creators I found I think we can I'll try to put some together that are actually putting a lot of things no offense to Just some of them that some of you are probably raging if you're in Detroit. You're looking this up You're like, oh, but I'm a content creator in I don't know any nice way But so many people just produce like really basic. There's not a lot of effort into the videos I know they're still trying and I'm willing to help there, but either doing it on their phone and doing on her phone It's kind of like I'm looking for people who are putting a really lot of effort into it To produce a really well produced thing and if you need help learning the cool There's you know, the best thing is I learned how to do YouTube on YouTube. Yeah, it's the snake eating the snake Yeah, I watched YouTube videos and that's where you kind of find your style as well I watched a lot of YouTube's I watched the DSLR noob is a great channel where you know, I know he posts a little bit differently now I haven't looked at a lot of his recent stuff So he kind of went into this long form format But he used to do a ton of videos and it's how I learned how to use the camera I'm using and everything else like it'd be less how'd you learn this actually pretty easy I went and watched youtubers learning how to do all this. So yeah, there's it's a much It's an interesting time that we're living in now Like I went to a trade school for media production and then did a degree in media production And all of that that I learned I could learn on YouTube now. I went to my couch. Yeah, I learned about media production Yeah, I mean it's it's a and the thing and the equipment has gotten so much smaller Oh, it's so much easier to use and so it really is a Great time. I to put it bluntly you have no excuse if you want to be doing this Yeah, no excuse and I I will admit to I started out I watched a lot of Casey Neistat stuff love his work and but I realized like I watched it I like he has a very Artistic production of his media. It's kind of funny is I one of my friends had pointed out it's go You know, I really like Casey's work. I'm like, oh, yeah, so it's about seven million other people Yeah, but I said but the thing is like he doesn't say a lot. I'm like, yeah That's what's interesting. He's very Cinemagraphic and I love that and I I really learned a lot from it And that's I use some of his cinematographic style when I wanted to produce some of the artsy things I did like if you look through my channel You'll find a video for TEDx Detroit that I did and I'm doing another one So I love the artistic take that I learned from him, which is cool But I realized that's not the style and I think sometimes people try to just mimic their go He's successful at mimic them and that's not always the best way to do it, you know You can learn a lot from there But you do start by copying and I think the best I think I may have said this before But just as an art teacher big I can't really even art school. Anyways, I love what he said this guy This kid was asking his teacher going, you know, I'm too worried I'm just gonna end up trying to copy Picasso all the time. You know, I'm not sure if I can find my style He goes, oh, it's really easy to find your style. Go sit there stare at Picasso paint it And when it doesn't look like it everything that doesn't look like because it is your style Yeah Yeah, you can learn so much for the internet speaking of which will segue out that topic because Marvin hasn't heard this But this is something my kids said to me and I don't know if this is inappropriate so it might get cut So so did you ever did your dad ever say can you get me a beer and you went and got him a beer? Sure. Yeah, my grandpa. You say it could be a beer kid and I go over and get him a beer So kids are educated these days. Yeah, I say Marcus my son. Can you go get me a beer dad? That'll make me a minor in possession There's a pause and I'm like, well, how do I combat my son's knowledge now? Possession is I know he really just wanted to keep doing whatever he was doing and not get me a beer I could have easily got off the couch and done it, but I was like, you know, that's where you have children for Yeah, I was like kids and they can they can go to the fridge and get me beer I mean, it's like no dad. That'll make me a minor in possession Oh crap, oh, that's not it's great That's what your your son is good for a lot of good Comments Marcus says a lot of things. Yeah, I don't even know if they're all I mean There might be a little inappropriate times like they're very topical and my my son has that We tried to get him on to do stuff on the vlog his eyebrows are famous now I don't know if I should probably insert that clip if so I did review the server hasn't been delivered back So sitting over here. I told my son. I was like, hey, I want to see if this can stand up to a loving-year-old So all I did was hold the camera on them All that the only thing I had asked him to do was while the drives were running and the in the server Array over here, which is the Trunaster. I asked him to eject one of the drives He looks at the drive puts his finger on it turns back to the camera double taps the eyebrows is that like this He's definitely a showman that yeah, like it was unprompted Some people think I script my son to do these things my it's great because he just does things he writes little skits He wants to be an entertainer and and he should and he shouldn't he absolutely should be He's the teachers that talks so he's go fun with the teachers because he's a distraction in class or always the same with my son Like they start out with we know Marcus isn't malicious matter of fact. He's he's a pleasure to have in class, but But but he was not paying attention. He wasn't listening. He was encouraging the crowd to do something and yeah Yeah, that's he's we're either gonna end up dead by his hand or working for him one day. Yeah Yeah This could happen Well, I pull up in the school. He's not standing up front So I describe him because my son died his hair really turquoise. I let my kids do that Yeah, so he's got bright turquoise hair and so I pull up I'm like, do you know where the kid with the turquoise here is cuz I don't know why he wasn't standing up front You're like, oh, you mean Marcus like all these kids know who he is Yeah, well, I had to pick him up while you were in New York And it was I loved that eat cuz I was like there's just a sea of children and I'm like I need the kid with the blue hair. Yep. Oh, there he is. Yeah The other thing he said I do I stopped by 7-eleven and he grabbed some hot fries and some skittles They were three for a dollar and he's like a three for a dollar and I was like, so you need he's like holds them up He goes there. This is the currency of middle school. This is all I need And I'm like even the person who's that one person's like, okay, like He's figured this out he goes I know how to get people to do things this is the currency of middle school Yeah, and also I do is I can share this candy and I can get things done Cigarettes are the currency of prison, right? Yeah Smuggling hot fries into smuggling hot fries in Don't work done here. I got I got four hot fries for you if you help me out I know on to the next topic for a lot about that. Yeah, so we decided I did Decided I don't know if anyone there's no we in this actually. I just made a decision That's the best part about our own companies and I just do stuff. Yeah, and no Z. I how I get here is no one tells me no We try we try so I decided that I want to reply to everyone's email But as my channel goes 12,000 people by the way, thank you very much. Yeah. Yes We're excited about that and I really want to reply to every email But sometimes I that that could be a full-time job some I don't know what necessarily I don't mind people emailing me But occasionally I get emails and I'm sorry if I'm calling you out on this that what backup Should I use like the most basic and I'm like I need to I don't mind helping when there's some context around it But sometimes people just ask super vague questions, and I'm like I want to reply And I don't ever want to be excited, you know We did a live stream me and Willie how and someone said oh so and so channel isn't you know He's not that nice because he wants to charge stuff I'm like well he has like 50,000 subscribers, and I know him personally and the guy is getting I mean hundreds of emails a day At some point it would be a full-time job just to reply to all these questions, so I but a lot of you ask really good questions That I think should be public and the comment system on YouTube is just broken and ugly and I don't like it Because it's so hard to their comments are out of order It's hard for me to find if you reply to something that goes down to like a thread I can lose part of it because it becomes hard to find later and especially because comments are coming We have like a couple hundred videos on there. They're almost 300 comments come across all the videos So the notifications are everywhere so it makes it really hard to reply and it's hard to follow the message threads And it's harder reply cuz I can't just pause a picture someone asked a question. Where's this? I'm more than happy to post a screenshot because you're probably not the only one asking it That's one time out the bail of questions So you guys decide to email me and a lot of times I've actually replied with screenshots and I'm fine with that too I can only do so many at some point So my thought was I created a Facebook page. I have a link below it's a Facebook group that's open for you to join and I spend way too much time on Facebook and but Facebook offers a really easy platform for Posting message replies and picture replies and things like that I wouldn't mind some interaction people asking what videos they'd like me to cover or if there's a question on a video I don't mind responding like someone said like how do I do this thing? I can just grab a screenshot of it from the software or even take a picture of something because someone asked me a question about The the back panel I didn't something they had a question about because there's a wire that runs across here And I know it is so I can easily stamp a picture of it upload to Facebook I can do that right from my phone and reply and now I've not only answered a question for you But I've answered a question for anyone else is curious about it and not only that maybe they weren't curious about it Now I've got more engagement because ah, we didn't know it did that and actually the discussion I had with someone that was really good He's I know he's a regular watcher of this. I think it's really clever idea I don't know how to pursue it, but I didn't know this. He said hey Why not take free NAS? This is came a fork of a true NAS discussion He messaged me on Facebook, which is cool, and he says we could probably integrate all this and code it to a Create high availability and do this is and I think it's a fun side project It's it's goes beyond the scope of what I have time to do because it requires coding that goes beyond me But cool, it's open-source and you can do that But maybe if it was post in a public forum someone would go I'm a good coder and I know how to make that implement that feature and I would love that further discussion to go on So I want it to be bigger than just Tom's ideas And I love that and I looked at like some of the usual forum software I'm kind of mixed on it like I know how to set it up, but it's harder to manage and There's a couple other forms that are pretty good, but I kind of like I don't know maybe I'm biased I like the Facebook platform, but a lot of people do hate it and I I do understand is right away Someone's gonna see but that's you know Zuckerberg's playground and you're living in our ecosystem There's some good and bad to that I mean yes hosting it all yourself and self hosting it But that has its own challenges and do I want to take on another forum challenge and dealing with passwords and deal Yeah, I don't why when you have Facebook right there Yeah, so there's pros and cons It'd be better certainly, but yeah, it's I think it still works pretty well on and I want to hear your thoughts on this That's something that's important to me is if you are gonna use it Excuse me if you aren't gonna use it that it's not relevant at all at that point But if I can get some Traction and discussion going in there We can I haven't found any good Facebook forums because it part of it the problem is and I Have a friend who refuses to put a photo of himself or any of his family members or anything on Facebook He only uses Facebook for a few forum discussions and mostly Mike uses to post snarky comments You know who I'm talking about. I think so. Yeah, but his comments are so great He's really funny and So I understand and I encourage as I know a lot of my Linux and open source friends They refuse to put any photos of themselves on there. I completely get it no problem But you don't have to Facebook only knows what you decide to share with them So you don't have to share everything on Facebook with them I only share what I want. It happens to be a lot It happens to be a lot happens to be a lot it's useful though sometimes much of it I actually have my own personal Facebook page and not that I mind people for enemy But I know I'm gonna run into the limit soon as I have a lot of friends I have a lot of technical discussions on there because I have numerous friends that are they work for large fortune one of them works for a fortune 100 company as a hacker and You know, I have some great discussions on Facebook with them. He's always that Screw this Facebook thing. He won't load it on his phone things like that But he that's what he does He's a pentester for a fortune 100 company like that's his day job He does get to post some about what he does. We have great discussions on it And rants on some of the tech things. So I do have good discussions on there I haven't found any good open source forums, but maybe I can help start that So it's the link will be in the below and they don't find it You have to create it. Yeah, so I'm gonna create it and I don't mind. I've admin communities before I Help out admin actually some YouTube communities online to help people get started So I'm quick to help a lot of those people who are you know, I kind of came in the beginning saying well some of you aren't doing that great of a job, but I also I Never complained about something unless I plan to do something sure it so I as much as I said in the beginning Yes, I've got places on there's you there's a YouTube creators groups that you can get into and I help admin them And I help reply to people I help suggest software It's part of the reason I do my review videos for like how I do my editing because I'm very open and I've actually Helped a few of them and a couple of never local I've talked to in stuff and showing what cameras I use and like hey These are the things I bought you can buy this stuff used for pretty cheap But my camera's like three years old you can find it used and it's the same camera I'm using right now. So because someone said your video are using much older ones Yeah, people say your videos look you know the like your higher quality. I'm like lighting Lighting highlights. Here's a cheap place. You can buy lights I've sent links to them and things like that Facebook facilitates me very easy because someone will ask me a question. I literally I'm like, I'll I Way too much time on my phone, but I'll take a picture something and just post it And that's kind of what I want to have for the forum on there. So That's uh that oh the video just before this one was the toe of Satan my god That stuff is insane Marvin. Would you like to try it? I would not know I would not this no this stuff This is dangerous. Yeah. Oh my goodness that in fact you here's the crazy thing You would think this is just cinnamon candy. I mean the thought is this is just cinnamon. No But no no no biohazard right there matter of fact They interviewed the people that did the toe of Satan that the guy of the crater I found a video of him on there and Yeah, they have to wear special hazmat suits to cook the stuff full respirators because the mist coming off Or they do yeah, well the thing here that it had um, it's insane when we read the 9 million Scoville unit chili extract Yeah, it's added to it like on top of the already, you know chili act other chili extract and this it's it's I We I think the challenge is yet you're supposed to hold the toe in your mouth for five minutes Yeah, I made it well you and I both made it Maybe a minute round it up and say a minute, but I don't think it was even close to that. Yeah. Yeah, it was Watch the video watch the video. It's it's insane. You'll be amazed at how well how well and how poorly Steve did yes I'm gonna give a shout out because it's it's on its way. I got a message from one of my other tech friends I want to say he's in Indiana Stackhouse. I think it's Stackhouse technologies Stackhouse's last name and like I'm not clever I named my company after my last name warrants not a great name, but his last name Stackhouse I think it's way cooler. That's a cool name. That's a cool name. So you name his tech company after himself And that's not bad. That's not bad. The problem. We run into around here is Lawrence technology services being so close to Lawrence Tech The school yeah, so that's and so they see it on the shirt and they're like oh Lawrence Tech My brother went there and I'm like did we fix his computer? Yeah, that's very so I'm not always clever at things that's what speaking of things that I might be a little clever at the last thing We're gonna talk about yeah, Marvin's Marvin's Spearheading this yeah We are spearheading where we are He knows yeah, we're developing a let's call it an arm of of Lawrence technology services called LTS creative web marketing So we have been doing so well our own stuff and we've helped other clients to Kind of get things started with their website and their social presence And so we're gonna we're gonna make that an arm of the business. So we will our approach is that We we look at your web presence holistically So we are gonna integrate your website with your social with a blog with YouTube with all of this stuff and we're gonna we're gonna bring it all together and make it work to promote your business Get you a great online presence and get you more business. Yeah, you more clients part of This beat this comes back to I don't complain about things unless I plan to do something about them So I just seen a gap in the market There's there's the demand is really high on a lot of the people who need marketing Especially in our areas and even outside areas because we're gonna do this at a large scale as the plan and I'm like You know, we do so much on our own Why not do it for others and then part of the thing that was really interesting is what? Marvin went to a talk put on by Google did part of the talk and he talked about how a lot of what you do is supposed to be personal Mm-hmm, and I think they said what was almost 50% of your I was really shocked at the numbers They it's they they call it to 50 30 20 rule 50% of your content should not be related to what your business is At all like it like we do with the eating hot food and yeah, the Satan's toe thing 50% of your content should just be like sharing Sharing things and and putting out there 30% should be related to your business, but not your business and then 20% should be what should be your business particularly so You've got what 80% of what you're putting out there is is not related to your business But it's there to draw people in so that then they will see your business Because if I'm not interested in Free Nass Yeah, right. I may not be interested in it. It could be something useful to me as a business owner But I don't know about it. I'm not interested in it, but I will watch these idiots eat hot food Yeah, and here's what's so weird about how this works and I was just in another marketing discussion On another forum and on Facebook which part of why this is our message replies that I should turn my phone off But anyways, let's put it down here anyways I think what people don't realize is when you start marketing yourself personally because reality is We got a pretty website and lots of IT companies have a pretty website What happens is people buy from people they like especially on the B2B side So they know us in so many times people like oh, yeah, I was watching your spicy challenge You guys do computer stuff There's some of the weirdest things like my personal reactions on Facebook people joking around with about stuff is Turned into I mean I can track almost a hundred thousand dollars in sales off of one time when me joking around with Corey and Someone says yeah while you were joking around you do that wiring thing and I'm like you do the wiring thing and that person said hey I want you to come bid this wiring thing and it turned out to be a big client of ours now because we started doing the wiring Now we've done wiring for all I didn't realize so many companies this person owned So wiring thing was like two hundred thousand dollars in two years in sales just this one client You're just like All because we posted something on Facebook about the wiring thing as they write which is which is fine But you need the interaction also becomes really entertaining when there when one of us goes out to a client and we this is how we know who watches the videos you're like Hey, he's spicy lately. Yeah, you know and we've even had clients come here I want to want to try that a good in messages and it creates engagement because If they're not into technology, they're into whatever the business they do They're happy that we're taking care of their technology, but the other side of it is they How do you engage someone that you know where the computer geeks and they're the you know people in their industry So it becomes an easy relatable thing when you're doing something I don't know what your spicy challenges or that's something you want to do But being relatable and showing that is a big part of marketing is showing the person behind it Simon Sinek just said it best people don't just buy what you do. They buy why you do it So people care about people who are doing something and they're interested in the person behind it And when once all things become kind of commoditized and equal they're going well Why would I want this or that they're like well? I know that this brand, you know and Tesla comes up a lot in They're very interesting because Elon Musk is giving away all those patents and doing all these other things and that and so People kind of buy into the ethos of it. Maybe you hate them Maybe you love them, but there's still something interesting to be said there for why that brand keeps doing what they do And I might do a whole video. I thought about ranching about that because someone there's a great tech on charcoal about why do people think Elon Musk's company supposed to make money He's going to Mars companies are incidental if they make money cool. Yeah, Amazon's the same way Amazon's profits last year What do you Amazon is a just incredible and oh just just their R&D spend last year was nine Billion dollars, how much profit profit do you think Amazon made last year? Well, if they spent nine billion R&D, I'm assuming in the hundreds of billions. Yeah, but it's 92 million dollars I think that was the totals for that was their profit. Yeah Basically some of these companies they're not trying to just rake in cash They're taking and doing so much in R&D and investment which is really interesting. It's a different is a different dynamic So yeah, we'll get too far off topic on that. Um, the last thing I'm going to talk about before we wrap this up is obsessive behaviors Because I'm doing it right now. Yeah What's that? What's that? So This is a little weird segue, but I caught myself doing I'm trying to stop. I can't I I'm fascinated with Obsessive behaviors and the little quirks that drive us somehow some people that drives people mad and that Mine is my nails. I have to file them all the time. Okay. Yeah, I don't know It's just a weird thing. I was thinking about it because my kids we had a great discussion my daughter studying psychology and We're talking about serial killers We talked about all kinds of crazy things all the time and in the minds of people and part of her interest is watching her dad obsessively do things I'm at least self-aware. I know I'm doing a quick tangent. I would not be surprised if social services ends up calling Tom today And now he's like, yeah, we talked about serial killers we have my daughter and she's old enough to read these books and She's older, but she's she has a deep fascination with the psychology of people and we were talking about family members And I won't go into discussion about how off the wall some of the people that are in my family are But there's also the same thing and it's it comes back to I've always disliked the What was it all things in moderation? Okay, yeah, do you know what no one cares about? Moderation, do you know why because you care if I walked over a hill or do you care if I climbed Mount Everest? Yeah, you know the reality is it's the people who go crazy obsessive with things. Yeah some things in moderation So after I said go up Mount Everest the little light thing blank and we said crap We ran out of film which probably means we should shut up Film Wow. I said we're showing your age The gray hair The gray hair helps show my age for the film work. Hey you went to film school. I yeah That is what they call it back in the 90s. I do have a degree in film studies. So film studies Which is a fancy way of saying movie watcher. He's a movie watcher So we're gonna wrap up vlog Thursday I was gonna go on a rant about extremes But I'll save it because I was gonna talk about my sister and who's a person of extremes as well and More reclusive. She's not really an online person, but I bet I could get her she doesn't ever work Thursdays actually Oh, then yeah, she should be here. Yeah I want to know and I have to ask her before I reveal anything about her because she's very Personal and lives in the she she would be happy if someone just gave her a bunch of paint let her draw in a Hole somewhere like in a basement and no interaction with humans for a long period of time. She's fine with that Yeah, Marvin's know my sister for a long yeah, yeah, she's a person of extremes And I want to see if she's willing to talk about it publicly I'm not positive what or not she is so if she is maybe she may be a fun guest to have on the show Yeah, cuz as crazy as I am with my obsessive habits We've all got them.
