Welcome Welcome to Episode Two of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest. Before I continue, thank you very much to the one person who watched know what watched listened to episode one yesterday, whoever you are, you are a champion. Thank you. And so, for those of you just joining us, which may be just the person from yesterday, maybe somebody else it's you that I'm talking to my podcast of you from the crow's nest is my daily effort to record my thoughts, my ideas, some tips and tricks. Anything that basically I'm thinking of in this, in this moment. And the idea is that I want to document my Yeah, my ideas and my journey and whatnot. Half of myself and half for the listener. So, I will say right now I cannot guarantee that any episode will give you entertainment or be interesting or give you value, although I will try to, but I expect that over time, there will be a theme or there'll be a style that will naturally evolve from these podcasts, well that style is what that will be I don't know but thank you very much for sticking with me if you decide to and. But speaking of records. So, I am using an app called otter.ai to record the audio for the podcast, and I've literally just got my hands free stuck into my phone, and I'm trying on that yesterday I use the little lapel microphone which was really cheap one. And the sound wasn't great it was all right. So I don't know what the sound is going to be like for this, but I will try a few different things but the idea of this app, otter.ai, is that you can record your audio and it will also transcribe what you're saying on the fly or do it live. And the great thing about that is that you can then search by doing a keyword search for any words that appeared in the text. So my hope is that over the days and weeks and the months and even the years, I can put in a keyword, and I can go back and find all of the references to that so I can see what my thoughts were on a particular subject or how they might have changed over the years. And so if you ever even just want to have notes for your own personal benefit, then otter.ai is, it's free, and it's a really great app. And then the actual app that I used to do the podcast. As I found out yesterday after I recorded it. I export from otter.ai and the audio straight into an app called anchor. So if you've ever thought about doing a podcast anchor is the app that I'm using it's a free app. And it's really super easy and it's really cool and anchor then pings out your podcast to all sorts of places so I got a note that my podcast is now available on Spotify, which is very exciting. And I imagine other places will come soon. So there you go, if you ever thought of keeping notes, then otter.ai. And if you ever thought of doing a podcast then anchor. But the interesting thing about that is, accountability, and I talked yesterday about that I struggled, over the years, I'm very good at starting things I'm great at coming up with ideas of vision but I'm not so good at finishing things. And one of the reasons potentially is, you know, no accountability I work with my wife and, you know, we do stuff, but basically we're our own unit our own island and we don't. Up till now we haven't had a team helping us with stuff. And that's probably been something that's held certainly held me back over the years is not having people to help, basically, not having partners people to bounce ideas off etc. and that's something that I want to improve on moving forward I think that'll be the key that really unlocks my projects and my ideas and ambitions. Over the next rest of my life. And part of that is accountability if you're working with someone, then obviously you're already have something that you're accountable to you have to deliver your end of the work. And, funnily enough I speak into my brother today, and my brother is is very successful guy, very focused and he is brilliant at finishing things he's very systematic if he says I'm going to do somethin
