“It’s a great time to double down on your initiative - right now!” - Futurist Jim Carroll This is a screen grab from a moment in my first real time online broadcast yesterday. Was it great yesterday? No! Was it perfect! Not at all! Did the technology work? Not at all times! Will I do it again? Most definitely! Join me next Thursday at 1130AM EDT! In fact, looking back this morning, think I put on a hell of a show, from both a content and platform perspective. For the latter, my setup featured three different cameras, an iPad based scene switcher, 25+ different scenes, and live streaming out to Facebook, LinkedIn, Periscope, Zoom, and Crowdcast. Contentwise? I think it was great - I'll blog it later today. I was somewhat comfortable in a small limited space with no audience - I don't perform like I did in the olden days with a real audience in a real room. But we must adapt to our new reality! And I had wonderful feedback from some folks. In fact, the only thing that really went wrong was one particular camera froze. I probably stretched the system potential a bit too much. I'll fix that for next week. And I've got a list of things I learned from day 1. My message on stage to people for 25 years has always been that we need to innovate, change, and adapt. I need to practice my own medicine! Because the alternative - standing still, waiting, worrying - isn't very appealing at all!
