MrT Has Arrived!
Hi Guys, I know some of the guys here already and you know who you are and what to expect from me, but the rest of you be warned it is time to wake up and be real. I am open, honest, raw, hard working, and push others to be the best version of themselves as it is easier than pushing me, LOL . My Introduction: - I am on a wild journey, if I told you you wouldn't believe me, and if I did tell you, then I'd have to kill you as it is a secret. - What I want to accomplish is to transform an in person done for you service into a fully digital offering using platforms like Skool etc and retire to a white sandy beach making surf boards, just not yet though. - The problem my business SOLVES, I keep business owners out of jail, by simply ensuring they keep everyone including themselves safe at work. - The 🌍 world I live in is the UK mainly, but I work globally, last year in UAE, Ireland, and UK and in 2026 I am launching a digital compliance project into the USA. - What gets me FIRED UP is helping others and winning at life and my favourite sport. - I have already built something to change lives, I am now changing this to change even more lives because a digital offering has a huge reach if I get it right, little old me with global reach, go figure. - For fun, I love Music (with a rock biased) but extremely eclectic, I love rugby, F1, boxing, Six Nations, Northampton Saints, Travelling Internationally, Making friends, 😊 I also liked to play rugby and box, i aim to learn the Guitar this year to and I've started to compose lyrics. - I have had both Cats and Dogs so no preference, I do love a cute animal picture/video. - THINGS you should know, I'm of an older generation where honour, integrity, trust, respect, grit, and doing the right thing are not just words. Being big enough to apologise when you screw up and I do, frequently. I have been loved twice in my life, I have been widowed twice. I have five amazing daughters, I am a grandad to 8 and a great granddad to Moo Moo my first great granddaughter. I am passionate about my business. The rest you'll have to figure out as I am a complex puzzle with some of the pieces missing down the back of my metaphorical sofa. Not everyone's cup of tea, but if I like you well be friends for life. Come say Hi, I don't bite hard not on a first date. 😜

@Mark Townsend Samesies! We got this!! 🙌 Determination is key. I told myself I’m willing to go to any lengths for the life of service that I want to live, on my terms. I don’t care how long it takes or what stands in my way. 💪
Day 6 Post: The "Quick-Edit" Skill Builder
You have the raw footage. Now, let's transform it into professional content in record time. Editing is where your message gets sharp. The PDF has some little reminders you might appreciate... Your Day 6 Mission: 1. Pick ONE clip (start with the easiest). 2. Use the "P.A.C.E." Edit Framework below to polish it. 3. Export it. Don't overthink it. The "P.A.C.E." Quick-Edit Framework:(Do these 4 steps in order for any clip.) 1. P - Punchy Start: Cut any dead air at the beginning. Your first word should be within 1-2 seconds. 2. A - Add Graphics/Text: Use one or two on-screen text captions to emphasize your Hook and key Delivery point. (Use CapCut/Canva text templates). 3. C - Cut the Fluff: Remove long pauses, "ums," or any repetitive phrases in the middle. Keep the pace snappy. 4. E - End Screen: Add a simple end screen with your name, handle, and a clear call-to-action (e.g., "Follow for more"). Tool Tip: For most social videos, CapCut (free) is all you need. It has auto-captions, trendy templates, and is incredibly intuitive. 👉 Mission Proof:Post in this thread: What's ONE editing hack you discovered today? (e.g., "Using the 'remove silence' feature saved me 10 minutes!") A good edit makes your great idea unmissable. You've got this. P.S. Tomorrow (Day 7) is about the final hurdle: building the courage to publish.

The Problem with "FREE"
This topic has been coming up a lot recently, so I want to share my thoughts on free communities, resources, and work. (Read time ~ 4 Minutes) This was written by someone else. I started free, and I recommend everyone start free because there's value that comes from free. But we should also talk about the cons of "free", because it's important to find the balance. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 It seems easy to sell. You think.. "I want people to trust me, so I'm going to give everything away for free." 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶'𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 #𝟭: You attract freebie seekers. People who were never going to pay you anything ever, but will take something because there's no cost. These people have no problem wasting your time, asking for more, while knowing they will never buy. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 #𝟮: The trust you were trying to build never gets built. Why? Because you gave them something for free. They only accepted it because it was free. They probably forgot about it. They'll probably never consume your free course. Maybe they'll skim it, but chances are they don't care about it. And tbh.. why should they? Subconsciously, people think.. "If this thing is free, it's probably of little value to the person giving it away". That trust was never built because the thing you gave away was never even consumed. People form assumptions based on your pricing. Your pricing shapes what people believe about you and your service. For proof.. A few months ago, when I had hundreds of members in this group, NO ONE showed up to calls that were free.. I was the only one in the room. I had the same information to share, but it wasn't until I held the calls in the premium tier that people began showing up and hearing what I had to say. If someone spends money for something, they put more effort into getting something out of it. That's where the trust happens. The data backs this up too.. People who buy ONE thing from you..even if it's only $1..are 12-56X more likely to buy again.

Woah! I just decided to charge for what was going to be a free intro level. Makes perfect sense. What price point...I'm thinking $5 or less.

@Lydie Molina Customer “bleeding neck problem” (what I’m actually experiencing): My main hangups are that I’m missing the skills and knowledge for how to upload and edit video, as well as how to create quality content. Having a ready to go setup was an issue too until a few days ago. And it’s super hard prioritizing content creation when I have a million tasks competing for my attention. Oh and ADHD…I’m wired for interest not importance, so my brain tricks me into focusing on tasks that are interesting when social media (marketing) is like THE key thing that connects me with the people whose problems I want to help them solve.

I agree 100%, it's just about solving the barriers! I put that statement on my website but yeah I'll tape it as a note on my tripod, along with the comment you made before that totally changed my perspective on content creation. ;-)
These New NotebookLM Updates Are Insane! (Free New Features)
NotebookLM just rolled out more updates, and the infographics really stand out. They’re clean, well-structured, and honestly look very similar to what you can generate with Nano Banana-style prompts. Quick reminder that NotebookLM is powered by Google’s Gemini, so it’s interesting to see how these visual features are showing up directly inside a research and note-taking tool instead of a dedicated image workflow. This feels like another example of Google exposing the same underlying capabilities through different products and interfaces. Curious who here has played with the new infographic or slide features yet, and what you think of them.

I used it to analyze 10 resources from a House congressional subcommittee and generate a podcast and infographic, and it knocked my socks off! Glad you’re sharing about this!
