Hello, welcome to Episode 81 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest. It is Tuesday 25th of August 2020 and it is a continuation of yesterday's. Awesome. Step forward of a day, because today I continued the process of getting grip the sky experience out to people or at least letting people become aware of it. So I emailed everybody on my mailing list today to tell them that I'll be releasing it to them on Saturday, and lined up a bunch of social media posts, it's by no means the best marketing, you know pre launch effort that I could have done, but I'm done with the project, I want it out there I want people to enjoy it and people to listen to it. And principally I want to move on with the next project, you know, and so I know I there's a lot more I could have done with the next one I'm sure I will build up a bit more but it's something I always say, you know, do what you can with what you have right now but particularly, you know get started get something done get out there, learn from the experience don't try and make everything perfect, just make it shipped make it out there but so long as you learn from it, and then improve the next one that's what matters, and I really hope this is the first, although it was a huge amount of time for me, a massive amount of effort to get it done. You know, I really hope it's the beginning of a new way of working, which is what it's meant to be. So if it proves to be popular if it proves to be of interest and fun and enjoyable for people. And obviously if it proves to be profitable as well for me. Then I've, you know, that's the golden goose right there. And I will continue to go on that so there's a lot riding on this but it feels good to put it out into the world. And that was principally my focus for for the day. Of course, what happens is you, you know, you start telling people about something and only then, despite having months and months and spent hours and hours checking things doing stuff do you immediately see problems or things you haven't done with it, etc. So, you like, oh god did I not see this sooner. But I refer you back to my point of a minute or two ago, you know, get out there, make improvements, see what the problem is, as I believe mike tyson said you know everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth, more or less, meaning it's all well and good planning these things is all well and good thinking that you know what's going on but until you actually get out in front of people. You really don't know how it's gonna work or, you know what the reaction is going to be and, you know, only when that happens, do you actually see in in reality of what it is. and then you can adjust accordingly. So I've got out. That feels good, and are working towards that. And also, on the audience ninja flex. Things are fairly quiet and all controlled with the clients, which is great. Got the team working towards some stuff there I've got some new tasks over to Dan on the team, which are some big research projects, which eventually will help both my own music but also, I hope our clients, and also future clients or even future. Let's say signings because or partnerships because I also want to, at some point, not to record label, because you know I don't have enough to do well enough ideas, but a modern record labels something different. Ideally, the idea is that it will be something which works along the lines of the grip the skier experience being the kind of formula to it, you know, having a business model that works for musicians and then working with select musicians who I really like I think their music and taking on board. Some of that workload for them in a partnership sense rather than just as a sort of client agency sense is part of it. So we'll see how that pans out. Outside of that, I did put a bit of time into my Italian again you know I'm still studying Italian and music theory practice playing on the guitar. See evening and it's starting to come together in bit b
