Office Hours for 11/7/2022 - Show # 958
4 37 Offset
00:00 Start - First Hour Questions in Comments
01:04:30 ** 2nd Hour Brainstorm **
01:15:11 Could we think of a theme of topics for “small creators”? I am a very small creator (embedding it into my academic work) and feel I learn so much from OH when we talk about solutions for both big and small work.
01:20:07 Monday second hour idea: month-long focus on the business side of a specific industry (ie gaming) week 1 could be marketing, week 2 HR/staffing, week 3 overview of historical changes, week 4 future of the industry.
01:27:50 Our own Victor Cajiao did a second hour on composing a song with GarageBand ([link]). Should we do another second hour on music composition which explores not only software, but compositional techniques?
01:29:27 2nd hour topic idea: Understanding Metrics - youtube, web stats, etc.
01:30:41 Given the OH focus on Media and Virtual Events and Monday's business focus. Where might we look to find entrepreneurial stories and 2nd hour guests, where someone successfully created a live stream or media outlet from a skill or hobby they love?
01:31:44 what about a second hour on successful streamers and their business models on their specific platform? twitch youtube and patreon would be the obvious three though maybe floatplane would be good too. the business and sponsorships can vary greatly
01:34:23 We talked about the business of eSports, but what about the production techniques behind eSports?
01:36:09 2nd Hour Topic - Managing Technical People
01:38:13 What are the guidelines for using a clip from youtube of the Office Hours panel answer to some of my questions?
01:38:47 Controller options: I'd love to hear what other people are using, how they optimize their workflows for them, and what makes specific tools special.
01:41:08 Courtney had an interesting suggestion of 2nd hours based on an interview(s) What “homework” pre-watch content would the community be interested in to underpin a 2nd hour discussion? Interviews, YouTube videos, Media events to emulate (or avoid!)
01:48:10 When you think of the Office Hours community, how would you breakdown the percent by industry or profession?
01:50:15 Training/onboarding pipelines and how to build them. (See: ILM's "Jedi Academy.")
01:52:38 What do you think of a second hour on the human relations issues related to our industry? (Resolving conflicts within teams, choosing people for effective teams, how to de-escalate situations, etc.)
01:55:49 “Business is ‘starting a business is like staring into the abyss and eating glass’” (unpleasant but necessary duties & ever-present jeopardy awareness) What less glamorous topics on needs vs wants and how much weight to give these topics?
01:57:51 2nd Hour Topic - Managing Professionals On The Autism Spectrum (And Bringing More Of Them Into Our Industry)
