The importance of updating the year on your website, Trying new s*it, AI + Nvidia (cosmos) and why freelancing is NOT for everyone with Kevin Chung of The Standout Creative

If y’all have been following me on Substack for a while, you know I’ve been ranting and raving about the growth and possibilities of videos on Substack and what I see to be a movement towards that direction


, & - would love your eyes and feedback on this!


Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of being a guest on the podcast The Standout Creative with

.

We discussed about our own use case for AI, it’s purpose and where we believe it’s ultimately heading.

One of my favorite moments was sharing the story of how I started my freelancing business—experimenting with different advertising platforms and pitching random numbers to corporations just to see if they’d bite. (Clip below)

Hope y’all enjoyed listening to this conversation, I am still navigating this frontier land of video/podcasting on Substack and appreciate you joining me on this journey.

Show Notes:

Apps that I use to edit, design & produce this video episode.

  • Editing: Adobe Premiere

  • Graphics & Lower Third: Canva

  • Streamlining Editing: I recently tried Firecut.ai a to streamline the editing process, Firecut was about to remove silence, generate captions, zooming into specific sections, creating chapters, and much more.

    For this episode, I used Firecut to remove silences and gaps, reducing the total running time (TRT) by about 1.5 minutes.

  • Show notes: Podium has been incredibly helpful in streamlining the process of creating show notes, generating transcripts, coming up with title ideas, and so much more.

  • Recording Platform: Riverside FM
