I'm thinking of running an episode of Take the Stage and not stream it live. What are your thoughts?

Good morning, we kick of this wonderful Social Saturday with @Elizabeth Bautista & @Emmanuel Cornelius joining the stage. Let's make them feel welcome as they start their streaming journey. This social Saturday feel free to drop questions. You have inspired me to build content with the questions you're asking.

Happy Monday! I wanted to share two things with you. First, Over in BloomingVoices Streaming TV Community, and with @Katya McEwen I am building a Streaming TV Readiness Scorecard tool for your videos. Below is a screenshot of the homepage. I used the "turn your videos into a TV show" image as a placeholder for now, and I am still brainstorming what the final image should be. If you have ideas, I would love to hear them. I have a deadline of Friday for the first collateral so that I get in the promo deadline for Katya, so more soon! Second, my win of the day/weekend: I finally have a better background for filming. Saturday, a friend was over, and helped me fill out the wall. I brought in some flower pictures from other parts of the house, and now I feel much more comfortable doing native videos right here without a virtual background. Lesson learned though, I need to remember to close the door when I am filming. Stay tuned, and I will see you soon! Questions for you (1, 2 or all 3, your choice): 🪴on the image for the tool, same image, different words, or a completely different image or does it matter? 🍁what's your win from last week, the weekend or today? 🦋 what are you working on this week?

Effective August 17, 2026. I'd like to shed some light on the one of two categories I believe are being underutilized and perhaps in need of clarity. This category is your place to host, share, and promote events that help you build authority and support. Whether you’re running a livestream, workshop, Q&A, challenge, or community meetup — this is where members can discover what you’re creating next. ✅ Share Your Events ✅ Build Your Authority ✅ Invite Members Into Your World 💬 Why these matters Your Stage is built on participation, collaboration, and shared expertise. When you host an event, you’re not just teaching — you’re leading, building trust, and creating discoverable content that supports your brand. This category gives you a stage to be seen. 🎬 If you’re planning something — post it. A livestream. A workshop. A Q&A. A community meetup. A challenge. A demo. A conversation worth having. Your voice. Your event. Your Stage.

What a fabulous day, I took the opportunity to go live not once but twice today. I went live to answer questions and create assets to go along with the questions. I then chose to come on a random hangout to share what I was up to this Sunday. In doing so, I had the pleasure to welcome @Carrie Crews . @Karin Crawford One of my two recordings are the dedicated to the YouTube analytics question asked over on Blooming Voices so Stay tuned, I will be repurposing that recording as well. You can find it now on YouTube
