All right, let's put in one more question here. 00:00:13.760 |
Liata said, is there a place where I can find all of your insights from the podcast written down? 00:00:20.160 |
She says, I often listen to your podcast when walking to work, but can't keep stopping, 00:00:24.000 |
pulling out a notebook and writing your ideas down. 00:00:25.840 |
I know that many of your ideas appear in your books, blog, and New Yorker articles, 00:00:30.640 |
If you espouse a new idea in the podcast, you always write it down somewhere for future 00:00:33.760 |
prosperity. I'm thinking I might have to stop listening to your podcast when walking and 00:00:37.440 |
instead treat it like listening to a lecture, i.e. sitting down at a desk and writing down notes. 00:00:43.680 |
Well, no, there's not right now a place where every idea from the podcast is written down, 00:00:50.000 |
but there's a few things I will suggest here. 00:00:52.480 |
One, the big part of the YouTube page we launched, 00:00:57.360 |
and I keep trying to make this point, is not about trying to build up a large YouTube audience. 00:01:02.560 |
It's not about trying to be a YouTube influencer that is getting people to smash the subscribe 00:01:08.400 |
button while doing giveaways on Minecraft videos. It's not the goal. The goal is to 00:01:13.440 |
make the information from the podcast much more usable. 00:01:17.120 |
So now the big ideas I talk about are going to have a core idea video. You can go to the core 00:01:24.240 |
idea playlist on YouTube and see in one place me talking about each of the big ideas on which I 00:01:30.320 |
base a lot of my answers. So if you hear a particular answer, like where's that coming 00:01:35.360 |
from? There's probably going to be a core idea video where the foundational ideas are. 00:01:38.800 |
There's deep dives on there. Usually when I'm working out an idea, 00:01:42.880 |
I might try it a few times and answers. And at some point I'll do a deep dive on that idea. 00:01:47.120 |
There's a playlist of just those deep dives. You can go and see those. If there's a particular 00:01:51.280 |
question, you say, man, I'm walking and I hear this question and that seems like a big idea. 00:01:54.800 |
Well, there's going to be a video of just that question. You can, within a couple of days of that 00:01:59.120 |
episode airing that you can find in bookmark. And you could just go and look at, you know, 00:02:04.400 |
go and look at the show notes. Like, oh, what was that? What was that question called? And you'll 00:02:08.400 |
find it. It'll be posted pretty soon after it comes out. So I'm hoping the YouTube page will 00:02:12.320 |
make it easy for people to begin pulling out. Like this will be the good archive of the information. 00:02:17.840 |
Now, when the portal launches and the standalone portal launches from which you can access all of 00:02:23.200 |
the videos and podcast episodes without even having to go to YouTube, it is going to include 00:02:28.320 |
a dedicated page for every episode of the podcast. You're going to see the show notes, 00:02:33.680 |
the description of every question in that episode on that page. You are going to be able to play it 00:02:38.000 |
straight from that place. You're going to see every video taken from that episode accessible 00:02:42.160 |
in a horizontal carousel right there from that page. Once we're doing that, we might start adding 00:02:47.760 |
more information to our show notes. So that will become a pretty good record as well. But we really 00:02:51.920 |
are hoping that people can remix and gather their favorite questions, their favorite videos, etc. 00:02:58.560 |
Now that they're all accessible, people can find them, they can put them into their own pages, 00:03:03.040 |
they can put them into their own playlist. So we're really thinking this through. But the YouTube 00:03:06.560 |
page was a major step towards making the information this podcast way more accessible and 00:03:11.280 |
findable and saveable than it just being in the long form on audio. So Liata start there, 00:03:18.160 |
get used to the YouTube page, bookmark or save videos that are important to you create your own 00:03:23.120 |
playlist, that's probably the right way to begin collecting the things we talked about on the 00:03:26.880 |
podcast that are of particular interest to you. [Music]
