I get that impossible. 34 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,920 We'll get into that a little bit later. 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,760 So just for the few people that hadn't heard of you or what you 36 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,280 got going on, tell us a little bit about your your disc golf 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,720 story. My disc golf story. 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,640 So perfect timing. January of 2020, my 39 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,040 father-in-law, he goes down to hang out with his brother. 40 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,760 He lives in Clearwater, FL so like right next to Cliff 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,400 Stevens. And those that don't know, Cliff 42 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,320 Stevens is Ken Climo, AKA Kenneth Columbus's home course. 43 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,520 So perfect place. He goes down there, plays and 44 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,160 that man comes back on a mission and he's like, I need to show 45 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,680 you guys all of this. So classic. 46 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,000 He he shows us and I'm like, yeah, I don't really care. 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,120 This is lame. For like the first year I would 48 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,680 still go plagues. It was like an Ave. to hang out 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,880 with everyone, get outside 'cause like I just love going 50 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,840 outside and like doing that more so. 51 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,600 And then finally I like got the bug as everyone does. 52 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,760 And then in 20/20/20, 3 or 2024, I think it was like the very top 53 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,800 of the new year. I was like I was seeing at the 54 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,240 time it was Mr. and Mrs. Bogey. Now another round. 55 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,280 Twin Cities. So if anyone follows them on 56 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,600 Instagram, I got I found that account and I just became 57 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,680 absolutely obsessed with the storytelling that Nick was doing 58 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,120 with that account. It just really spoke to what I 59 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,840 cared about disc golf. Just the hanging out with your 60 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,520 buddies on like a summer night and just throwing shots that 61 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,400 you're laughing at. So I just went through and was 62 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,800 watching every every single thing that he was posting. 63 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,720 And I was like, I'm just going to buy the most recent iPhone 64 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,920 that I can with the best camera setup. 65 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,720 Well, like, best camera settings on the phone and I was like, I'm 66 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,160 just going to send it and see what happens. 67 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,440 So then I did that for about a year or so. 68 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,960 And then that's when Daddy Joe Joseph Phillips contacted me. 69 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,040 He contacted me and was like, hey, what if we like, started 70 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,400 doing some stuff together? But yeah. 71 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,840 And that, that blew me away. Fast forward like a year and a 72 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,480 half and it became a full time position and I've been living 73 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,800 down here in Charlotte with my wife for about 5 months now and 74 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,520 this is I left my day job for this. 75 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,920 Nate, tell us a little bit about how you actually got started in 76 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,120 actually just not even disc golf media, but like what made you 77 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320 even want to start creating content at all? 78 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,600 Well. I ended up going to school to 79 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,680 work in like biology. So for the my job before this, I 80 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,040 bet no one would be able to guess it. 81 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,880 I have said it on like podcast and told people before. 82 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,920 So I was the assistant deer and moose biologist for the state of 83 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,520 Connecticut. That's right. 84 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,320 So the assistant deer and moose biologist for the state of 85 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Connecticut. So I did a lot of deer disease 86 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,480 related work and before that I did like 4 years of working with 87 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,640 waterfowl. I love to do, I love doing that, 88 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,960 but it's like government work. And in that that type of 89 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,480 environment, there will always be people that are either doing 90 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,400 exactly what's expected, go above and beyond or do nothing. 91 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,720 And unfortunately in that setting, at least where I 92 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,960 worked, everyone was kind of treated the same. 93 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,520 So a lot of people that would come in super gung ho over time 94 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,040 would get like, they'd find themselves very jaded and would 95 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,840 just stop doing like a lot of work. 96 00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:58,240 And that's like a very intrinsic value that my parents put in me. 97 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,840 Like I just love to work hard on things and give my best effort 98 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,880 that I possibly can. And it started to become a 99 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,120 downer. The thing that obviously I went 100 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,800 to school for was kind of just like taking enjoyment away from 101 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,880 me a little bit, like sometimes when I'd go to the office. 102 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,600 So I wanted something in my free time that I could, that could 103 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,800 just be me, like my own and like I didn't have to depend on other 104 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,920 people. I could just like this fun 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,560 outlet that I could make dumb jokes or just express my 106 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,040 enjoyment of disc golf. So yeah, like back in that 2024 107 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,800 era of me like buying that phone and starting to make disc golf 108 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,600 content, I saw at least at the time, there wasn't really like a 109 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,880 lot of, I guess, like funny accounts like making disc golf 110 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,080 content. Like if you go back on my 111 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,400 personal account, like that's pretty much the majority of 112 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,040 stuff that I, I used to do. And I, yeah, I mean, I know like 113 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,640 real prior experience making videos or anything. 114 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,800 So the fact that I'm here is kind of bizarre. 115 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,960 And it just shows like if you want to make a transition in 116 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,200 your life, I think it seems overwhelming, but you just got 117 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,720 to just send it and then hope that it works out and don't 118 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,080 think twice about it. Because I was working my day job 119 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,040 and then by the time I, I got, I didn't even say what my title 120 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,360 is, I guess with another round. So I do like social media, 121 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:20,200 social media editing, camera work, graphic design, stamps, 122 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,600 pretty much any visual representation of another round 123 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,440 is probably done by me at least for the last like 2 years, 124 00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,440 probably 95% of it. And. 125 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,400 What else? Yeah, What I'm going to say is 126 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,200 that you had mentioned something about at the job where it felt 127 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,800 like even though you were a hard worker, you didn't seem to get 128 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,160 rewarded. Right. 129 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,560 And and I love I I'm the kind of the same way. 130 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,640 It's like I want to put my all into it. 131 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,440 And so I like having the reward of either advancing or but what 132 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,360 I love about content creation on your own is that you get that 133 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,320 feedback, right? If you put something into it and 134 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,800 you and people like it, they're going to comment or like it or 135 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,800 share it or what not. And so I could see how that 136 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,520 would appeal to you. Like if I put a lot more a lot 137 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,800 of effort into my videos and making funny videos, people are 138 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,600 going to respond and I'll get that feedback. 139 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,480 As as you said, in that job, you really need to get much feedback 140 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,960 no matter how much work you put into it. 141 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,640 So I can see how this could be an appeal to you. 142 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,840 Yeah, completely. I, it sounds like I've had like 143 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760 all these different things, but it it has, my life hasn't been 144 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,680 that crazy. It's just like that was my day 145 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,960 job. And the thing that I did in my 146 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,480 free time was before doing that was doing music. 147 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,640 So if anyone knows, like hardcore or metal core bands, I 148 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,600 used to dude, I would record bands or like I would help 149 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,480 record bands. I would, we like toured some 150 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840 stuff a little bit. I would help like write music 151 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,680 and that was my thing. But if anyone has ever been a 152 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,280 part of like being in a band, you're essentially in a 153 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,280 relationship with like three or four other people. 154 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,360 So the fact that any band exists is kind of a miracle because you 155 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,760 all have to agree simultaneously on on certain things. 156 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040 And it was it was an awesome experience, don't get me wrong, 157 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,800 but being able to do things in my whenever I had free time as 158 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,440 opposed to like when everyone else had free time and that was 159 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,400 awesome. That made it like a lot more fun 160 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,040 for sure. I was in some, again, some 161 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:17,000 similar, it was a rap group at the church I went to and I would 162 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,440 produce some of the beats for them and I would find songs for 163 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,000 them to sample and stuff like that. 164 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,800 So but yeah, you definitely there. 165 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,240 It was only the two guys and then me for a little bit and 166 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,400 then I decided not to do it anymore. 167 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,200 And then one of the guys joined the Army and stuff. 168 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,720 So but yeah, there's it is like being in a relationship because 169 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,320 you have to get along with each other. 170 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,320 Even though you get excited about the creation process, once 171 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,240 you start doing it over and over again, then you start seeing 172 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,720 some people like, no, I want this sound. 173 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,360 No, I think this sounds better. So yeah, I can see that for 174 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,320 sure. Now you mentioned that you you, 175 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,800 you know, you had no experience. So how did you gain that 176 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,560 experience? How did you go from like, I just 177 00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:54,960 want to creative outlet. I've never made videos before. 178 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,960 How did you go to start creating videos? 179 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,240 How did did you teach yourself via YouTube or what was that 180 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,240 path? No, I didn't. 181 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,320 I didn't really teach myself a single thing, or rather I didn't 182 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,880 like go look up things. I'm more so just it was like, 183 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:10,960 hey, I'm going to buy the iPhone. 184 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,360 Cool. That will be the exclusive thing 185 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,720 that I'm basing all of my knowledge off of because it's 186 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,280 it's good enough And like obviously I can use it for other 187 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,200 things. And then for editing software. 188 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,280 I think at this point, I know myself and Joe get a lot of 189 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,400 questions about editing software to use. 190 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,800 Just just use any of them or even people. 191 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,440 People back in the day, would I say back in the day, it was like 192 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,400 a year and a half ago, they'd be like, what? 193 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,400 What's your camera setup? It looks unreal. 194 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:42,600 And it's like brother iPhone it iPhone has its limitations, but 195 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880 you can make iPhone look pretty Dang good. 196 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,920 And I think at the end of the day, the camera that you choose 197 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,960 to use is pretty much just as long as it's good enough. 198 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,480 It's a vessel for you to be able to share your content and relate 199 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,960 with other people. And I think that's where a lot 200 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,240 of people may get caught up is like, and they all come from a 201 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,120 good place. But yeah, just download 202 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,880 whatever's editing software, start with whatever that's free. 203 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,320 Do that because you can find a ton of workarounds even with 204 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,760 like the limited software that you choose. 205 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,240 Like you don't have to dive straight into Da Vinci because I 206 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,280 know that's free. And people like Josh AKA J 207 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,760 Millie, every time I bring up J Millie or I call him Josh 208 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,680 personally, but I have to like also specify like J Millie. 209 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,640 I know that's what he recommends, but if you have no 210 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,000 idea what you're doing, that can be very overwhelming. 211 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,240 But. Oh, I tried Da Vinci I and I've 212 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,480 I've done I, I've started on Windows Movie Maker bat way back 213 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,120 in the day. I did that and then iMovie, the 214 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,000 more very basic one for Apple and then Final Cut Pro 7 and 215 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,840 then 10 for a little bit. And then I've, you know, finally 216 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,080 got into Premiere Pro. And then I tried Da Vinci one 217 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,360 time and I was like, this is stupid. 218 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:56,000 I don't yeah, I'm like, where's the timeline? 219 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,880 Where is this? Where's that? 220 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,360 And it's like, and someone was like, well, you just got to 221 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160 learn it. Once you learn, I don't want to. 222 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,800 Yeah. So you'll figure out limitations 223 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,480 as you you go, but then that's when you probably like step up 224 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,600 and try something else. But for a good 2-3 years, just 225 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,520 stick with that and you'll you'll be surprised how much you 226 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,760 learn. Yeah. 227 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,840 So, so when it came to media creation, so it's, if I'm 228 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,880 understanding you right, so you just did fun stuff and then it 229 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,800 became disc golf stuff. You didn't do it. 230 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,120 You didn't do media for any other weddings, friends or 231 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,280 anything like that? No, not a single thing. 232 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,840 And I think that's where that's where a lot of that imposter 233 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,680 syndrome I think came from because I had no idea what I was 234 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:35,840 doing. And not that I don't know what 235 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,880 I'm doing now. I finally feel like I'm in a 236 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,080 secure place and I'm very proud of the journey that I've taken 237 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,600 to get here and love what I'm just all the things that I get 238 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,320 to make and do. But I like, let me put this into 239 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,360 perspective. I started working for another 240 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,560 round by making 95% of the things that I put out, whether 241 00:11:55,560 --> 00:12:01,160 it was graphics or videos or really anything I did on my 242 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,840 phone, I did on my phone. I would edit on my phone, record 243 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,320 on my phone. So just do that until you're 244 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,200 like, you know what? I think it's time for me to make 245 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,560 the next step. Yeah. 246 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,960 So, OK. So how long you been full time 247 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,680 in another round? I moved down here the very tail 248 00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:21,720 end of August. But you were doing, you've been 249 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,000 doing a part time before that for another year. 250 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,720 And a half part time. Yeah. 251 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,480 And so I guess my question is what, what did you start doing 252 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,120 just part time for them? What what it? 253 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,360 What was a daily like workload for you as far as them doing 254 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,840 part time? Yeah. 255 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,920 So what that's, that's a great question because I don't know if 256 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,680 I've talked about this from all in one concise spot. 257 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,920 So I did 1 reel a day at that point. 258 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,600 That was just like a nice easy spot for me to start. 259 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,600 If Joe went out and he had like special announcements for store 260 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,440 openings, he'd be like, hey, I've got all this footage, can I 261 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,480 send it to you? And I'd be like, boom, yeah, in 262 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,560 a couple hours have this all this jumbled mess put it 263 00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:04,160 together, have it ready for 8:00 PM. 264 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,000 So I'd had like the night slot and I will never forget the 265 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,440 first video that I ever did. And if anyone wants to go back 266 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,120 and find it, they're more than welcome to it's two years ago 267 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,280 was Jake Wolf throwing at OTB open. 268 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,720 And I mean, I turned it into like a backyard baseball sort of 269 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,480 thing. Like I pretty much at that time 270 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,080 I, I was like, so I had so much pride in my ability to like, 271 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,040 edit and do these crazy edits. Like I was trying way too hard. 272 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,080 Like I needed someone to like pat me on the back and be like, 273 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,680 it's OK. Like you're enough. 274 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,400 Like you don't need to try, try super hard, but that's that's 275 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,080 what I end up doing. Eventually that turned into two 276 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,280 times a day and I would make graphics for maybe like there 277 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,520 was a disk that was dropping that day. 278 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,360 So I'd put that on the story or somehow put it into a reel. 279 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:59,880 Now the current workload is I do three reels a day on YouTube and 280 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:04,840 Instagram and then I do a YouTube video every two to three 281 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:11,800 days and e-mail graphics stamps. Those are kind of they're not 282 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,080 really like a day-to-day thing. It's just as needed sort of 283 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,080 basis, but. So let's go back to though when 284 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,720 you went from part time to full time was that I think you may 285 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,080 maybe mention a little bit at the beginning, but like how did 286 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,120 that conversation go with Joseph when it said, OK, it's time to 287 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,400 go full time? Terrifying. 288 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,960 I mean, my entire life, I've grown up in Connecticut and done 289 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,600 the thing that I went to school for, you know, like the, this is 290 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,920 what your parents want you to do. 291 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,320 And I did it and of course I chose what I wanted to do. 292 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,840 But it's, you know, my, my wife is from the same area and we've 293 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,680 never lived anywhere else like another state, never mind moving 294 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,800 12 hours South. And so the, the conversation 295 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,440 ended up being asking if like that's a future that would ever 296 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,560 he could see. And he said some something to 297 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,640 the effect of I don't want you. Like, of course it is. 298 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,960 I just don't want you to feel like you have to move down here 299 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,520 for the job sake or for our sake. 300 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,080 So there was a lot of conversations with like my 301 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,320 family and obviously making sure that I'd like make enough money 302 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,160 that we could survive and like, it made sense to to do the move. 303 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,480 But yeah, it ended up working out and I'm, I'm very happy I'm 304 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,000 here. I I would be lying if I said 305 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,920 that I I wasn't terrified moving down. 306 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,120 Sure. How long did it take like from 307 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,600 the from the the moment of this could be a thing to like let's 308 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,880 do this. Is there a long time span? 309 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,680 Are we talking like weeks, months or? 310 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,880 No, it was it was probably a couple weeks, a couple weeks 311 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,360 ago. I said this before we started 312 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,040 the podcast to to Bobby. Some people are like very much 313 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,720 into planning. I remember in high school you 314 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,120 would talk to kids that are going to college. 315 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,600 They're like, I know what college I'm going to. 316 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,120 I know what I'm going to grow up and be. 317 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,880 I know the age that I'm going to do XY and Z. 318 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,480 And I never knew those things. And that's why going into 319 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,520 college, like I went to it, but I didn't really. 320 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,760 I would. I always wished I had other 321 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,640 things that I was doing. I'm like, man, I just want 322 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,960 something more out of what I'm doing. 323 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,680 They're just like being at school and I'm grateful I did 324 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,520 it, don't get me wrong. But yeah, I'm very happy with 325 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,760 where I've somehow added up. Just just send it I guess is the 326 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,880 point that I'm getting to I. Love it now. 327 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:32,240 Has has media creation changed for you since going full time? 328 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,040 Because I remember my like when I was part time, I would work a 329 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,760 full time job at a credit union and then I'd go home and I was 330 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,640 excited because like this was what I was excited. 331 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,040 This is what I wanted to do, right? 332 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,360 And I would get, I would get home, I'd eat dinner and then 333 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,720 about 6:00 I'd be editing dynamic diss videos for 4-5 334 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,320 hours, right? Staying up way too late. 335 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,600 And my wife would be like, you know, you're staying up too 336 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,840 late. And I'm like, no, I want to make 337 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,720 this a thing. I want to. 338 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,520 And then now it's a thing. Now it's what you have to think 339 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,000 about when you go. And it sounds exciting, but has 340 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,040 it changed the way you approach content at all? 341 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:13,400 When I made content for my for myself, it was pretty much I 342 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,119 would just go out on the disc golf course and play and it's 343 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,880 almost like the content would write itself. 344 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,599 Now everything is, it's not scripted, but I am thinking 345 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:28,560 ahead like an entire week. So now I, I, I still love, I, I 346 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,840 love making all this stuff. It's more so just the biggest 347 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,240 issue is time management. Because in a, a job like this, 348 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,720 you, it could be very easy to blur the lines between personal 349 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,160 time and working time. Especially because I'm, I'm 350 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,000 posting all throughout the day. Like I probably make the 1st 351 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,800 post 11:12 AM Eastern Standard Time or PM Eastern Standard Time 352 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,240 and then maybe like 9:00 PM at the latest Eastern Standard 353 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,120 Time. So I'm going to be doing a 354 00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:00,080 couple of those things at night. And then you're like, well, 355 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,560 maybe I could work on the e-mail tomorrow, like start getting 356 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,120 some graphics done. And it's like, brother, you're 357 00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:08,400 also a husband and you should probably check in with your 358 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,960 family, make time with friends. And I think at first that was 359 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,600 because moving down here, like, I want to make sure these guys 360 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,160 feel like they are getting, I'll just say like their money's 361 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,720 worth out of it. Because, you know, it's, I'm 362 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,480 another person that's on the day-to-day like they're giving 363 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,920 money. So I'm like, OK, I like, really 364 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,360 have to like show myself. And they're like, yeah, take a 365 00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:36,000 step back because you could burn yourself out super easily. 366 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,240 And now I've, I've found like a very good rhythm with 367 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,040 everything. So it, it keeps my, my enjoyment 368 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,720 of, of making content for sure, so that I'm just not like 24/7 369 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,000 disc golf. Tell me what it what is your 370 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,640 process like? How do you go from we need? 371 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,120 Well, I'm thinking of me because it's like we have releases, but 372 00:18:58,120 --> 00:18:59,600 you guys talk about releases, right? 373 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,920 You just have all the brands. So how do you go from Hey Nate, 374 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,600 we're going to have these discs come out on this day. 375 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,880 How do you go from that being told that this is coming out to 376 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,960 now I'm going to make either a long form or short form video? 377 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,360 What's kind of your process? Well, we have a calendar that 378 00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:22,560 shows the releases for the entire month that we have to 379 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,680 kind of prep for. And I just have like an entire 380 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,760 folder on my phone that probably has probably just over 100 381 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,160 different ideas on it that I just randomly come up with. 382 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,280 I don't usually, I rarely take time to just sit down and be 383 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,600 like, hey, what's a good idea? They just kind of pop up, 384 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,520 especially if I'm thinking of disc golf all the time. 385 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,000 I'm like, man, why has no one done this yet? 386 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,000 So I'll write that down and put it away for like a couple weeks 387 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,120 from then. From then, it's pretty much just 388 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,160 communicating with Joe. Or if anyone's been following 389 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,080 the another on YouTube channel, that's been like a really big 390 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,280 thing that I've been pushing since October. 391 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,360 And we have on Austin Turner a lot of the time. 392 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,040 So I'm communicating with him as well. 393 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,000 Him and Joe see what they say. And pretty much pretty much 394 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,280 that. Like I, I for the person that 395 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,560 doesn't plan like a a lot, I'd find myself now like I have to 396 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,800 write things down just because of the sheer number of things 397 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,640 that are going on. So I'll come up with an idea 398 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,400 like today, perfect example, Joe and I go out to record. 399 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,400 We just got like a bunch of snow in Charlotte, but we want to 400 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,200 show off some like some recent drops that just came out and 401 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,800 it's like, what's the concept for the video? 402 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,320 And just on the spot you come up with it. 403 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,320 So you got to be. It's like boom, perfect time to 404 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,680 reference that folder of ideas, but no active time usually. 405 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,160 Yeah. Do you have any plans for 406 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,120 something that's maybe a little more structured? 407 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:50,680 Not that those aren't structured, but you know what 408 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,680 I'm saying? A little more structured, a 409 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,880 little more produced as far as like, storytelling. 410 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,720 For sure. Yeah, I have. 411 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,720 That's going to be like the, the biggest thing that we're going 412 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,160 to do coming up is lately we do a lot of I guess like challenge 413 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,040 style disc golf videos because those tend to be the easiest in 414 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,520 terms of like you just go out there and like we kind of just 415 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,160 do it. I guess like you don't really 416 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,640 have to rehearse anything. But that's, I think that's going 417 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,600 to be a big part of where I come in. 418 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,520 And like a lot of these things because I, we've talked a lot 419 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,600 about me being having more of a presence on the channel instead 420 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,480 of me just kind of the guy that's doing all the behind the 421 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,480 scenes stuff. And I'll be doing a lot more 422 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,080 storytelling related things. Are you excited about that or 423 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,040 does that make you nervous to be in front of the camera more? 424 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,440 No, no, like I, I love being in front of the camera. 425 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,760 I just don't find myself doing it nearly as much. 426 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,640 Like any time that I, I've done like a couple things with Joe, 427 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,800 like I'll go out and people are like, is he really actually good 428 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,480 or is he just like throwing 1000 shots and the man is disgusting 429 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,960 at disc golf. He's so automatic and good. 430 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,360 Like he just sets up a camera boom does it. 431 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,240 And like I personally, like I, I can't do that. 432 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,880 Like just turn it on all of a sudden. 433 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,160 So I'm definitely I can focus on my job way easier. 434 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,160 Definitely like a giant group of people. 435 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,120 If I'm just recording, I know what I have to do, make it the 436 00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,600 best that I can. But that's definitely going to 437 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,440 be a part of the the growth of, you know, the next couple of 438 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,640 years. You mentioned three reels a day. 439 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,280 What do you have like categories that you say, OK, I this is, I'm 440 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,520 going to do category A, category B, category C, or is it like I'm 441 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,120 just going to make sure I have three done? 442 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,160 I don't know where I'm going to get the idea from. 443 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,600 So me personally, day-to-day, I do occasionally have certain 444 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,240 things that I will maybe are scripted or things that I'm 445 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,960 trying to get done if there's like a release, but otherwise 446 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,720 it's what do I have that's saved on my phone that I could just, 447 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,920 or my computer just readily like scan through. 448 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,320 I, I feel like a, a big skill of mine and maybe anyone else 449 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,840 that's trying to get into like a fill a similar role or do 450 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,240 content creation is just to like, maybe not everything turns 451 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,440 out exactly how you want it to, like when you're going to 452 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,080 record. But if you can take like a a 453 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,800 little moment and turn it into something through the power of 454 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,160 editing or coming up with an idea like that is such a huge 455 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,080 strength. So I'll go through and maybe 456 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,280 it's like, I don't know, Joe throws like a bad shot. 457 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,400 It's like, OK, how can I turn this into something funny or 458 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,880 whatever? You just have to, I mean, 459 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,760 creativity is your for sure your best friend and not just to like 460 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,320 throw a shot. Oh, you're parked. 461 00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:30,000 Oh, here's an ace. Here's a so yeah, just whatever, 462 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,160 whatever I got. And then next day record. 463 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,400 Maybe there's a cool moment in there. 464 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,080 How long is that something that you're doing right now to kind 465 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,400 of build some momentum with the platforms? 466 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,600 Or is that your plan? Like I'm going to have 3 rules a 467 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,120 day until my fingers fall off. No, I that's a perpetual. 468 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,400 I mean, that's my everyday as I have three a day. 469 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,640 So yeah, forever, forever and always. 470 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,880 Maybe occasionally there'll be like a few more, but three a day 471 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,360 is the minimum. And it is. 472 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,160 I still think back to, like when I was doing one a day and like, 473 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,040 that was my pinnacle. And like, this needs to be the 474 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,200 most perfect, pristine thing I've ever made. 475 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,200 And now it's like I'm doing 3A day plus the other stuff. 476 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,040 And I'm like, how was I? Like, what was I doing with my 477 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,640 time management previously? Like it. 478 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:20,080 I just like, watch TV, but yeah. Oh, oh, analytics. 479 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,400 I know this might be too technical for some people, but 480 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,840 for if you're listening and this is something you want to do, 481 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,480 this is good information. So in the analytics, when you 482 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,920 went from one reel to the three reels, did you notice that the 483 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,160 the three reels kind of compete with each other for that day? 484 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,320 Or how did you kind of work that out? 485 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,200 Or was you, were you just kind of like, you know, I'm going to 486 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,120 post 3 so that people are just slammed with content? 487 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,960 Well, this is just what Another Round has done previous to me 488 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,760 working for them. And I feel like I might have 489 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,760 kind of a unique perspective on that because before working in 490 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,880 disc golf, I was a fan of like Dynamic. 491 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,080 I was a fan of Another Round as I looked up to all these things. 492 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,600 So I feel like I was able to look at stuff that people were 493 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,720 putting out and being like, man, I wish they did these things. 494 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,000 And I try to think back to those because I always remember, like 495 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,760 I wanted any little tidbit of like, now there are things that 496 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,320 I'm sure are normal to me that I'm like, people would love to 497 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,000 see this sort of stuff. Yeah, three reels a day. 498 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,760 It's just working up to that, right? 499 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,760 That was the question. Well, it was more on the 500 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,200 analytic, analytic side. Like, do you feel that putting 501 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,680 out so many reels a day? The, the real, the like, in my 502 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,760 mind, I think of, OK, you put something out at 11 AM, then you 503 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,160 put something out at 5:00 PM, then you put something out at 504 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,360 11:00 PM. Is the thing you put out at 5:00 505 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:45,360 PM competing with the thing you put out at 11 AM for people's 506 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:48,040 attention? Or is that even part of the what 507 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,880 you look at as far as analytics? No, I think that's, yeah, that's 508 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,200 a really good question. No, I think it's the short 509 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,920 answer. I don't think they're competing 510 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,480 for one another. I think there's a fine line that 511 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,400 you'll find if you are posting multiple times a day, if you're 512 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,360 posting. So like we OK, we post three 513 00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:09,400 times a day. So that's as long as they're 514 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,440 like an hour or two apart. Like I'd say like over 2 hours 515 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,000 apart, you're probably fine. Like just just send it and 516 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,760 you're not going to like alienate your audience. 517 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,600 I think you can go in the opposite direction though. 518 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,680 If you're posting like 10 times a day or something, I think 519 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,680 people are going to start getting annoyed that they're 520 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,240 seeing you so often in their feed. 521 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,920 But as long as you can say like a consistent part where people 522 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,840 are viewing the things that you're doing, I think that's 523 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,160 probably a good thing. And you're putting out multiple 524 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,680 chances to have something that does well, like a reel or short 525 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,160 that gets like a lot of views and then helps your account 526 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,280 overall. Yeah, and it feels like like as 527 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,200 I asked a question and and you talk, is that putting out the 528 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,840 three reels, even though you're I'm thinking competing each 529 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,720 other? We're we're all just really 530 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,400 competing, not just with other disc golf channels. 531 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,880 We're competing with like the stupid meme that just got, you 532 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,400 know, when popular someone falling the you know, the now I 533 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,160 see on Facebook the character meme that's now being put out 534 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,840 everywhere. So in other words, or whatever 535 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,960 Nike puts out or whatever you know Pepsi puts out, we're also 536 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,160 competing for because we're basically competing for people's 537 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,760 attention. So I get 3. 538 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,400 I could see where the three reels kind of gives you an edge 539 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,480 because you're like, I'm going to put three votes out there. 3 540 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,800 possibilities of getting your attention rather than just the 541 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,680 one possibility of getting their attention. 542 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,760 Yeah, right. And there's, there's multiple 543 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,200 ways of, of doing stuff. Like you look at again, J 544 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,560 Millie, he's putting out one reel a day that he is more like 545 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,240 one piece of content a day that is maybe like, let's, let's say 546 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,680 more highly curated. I guess where he's, he's like 547 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,080 very meticulous with like the edit and stuff like that. 548 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,760 Not to say that I'm not doing that, but it just, it just 549 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,120 depends day-to-day, like which, which things I'm putting out. 550 00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:04,880 Like maybe the thing that I put out at noon, it kind of was a 551 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,600 flop. And it's like, man, it can be 552 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,160 really easy to get down on yourself. 553 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,640 And it's like just wait until 5:00 PM, man. 554 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,680 Just wait until 5:00 PM. Don't beat yourself up too much 555 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,640 about it and just to think about the next thing. 556 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,840 So that's a good question about quality. 557 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,560 And I think I asked you that because I recently had a meeting 558 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,200 with our brand team and we have a couple of the creative guys 559 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,520 that are part of the meeting and they always they're like, Hey, 560 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,480 Bobby, could could you? We do and hope maybe I hopefully 561 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,640 don't listen to this and get mad at me, but they're like, Hey, 562 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,240 can you maybe have us proofread some of your videos and stuff 563 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,040 like that, that we're not going to give you any kind of 564 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,040 direction on creativity, but maybe like if a word's 565 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,840 misspelled or something like that, maybe we can kind of catch 566 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:46,840 that. And I'm like, man, but I don't 567 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,360 want to slow down the process, right? 568 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,000 So I guess my question is like when we have J Millie where he 569 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,280 spends a lot of time, you got a lot of edits. 570 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,040 It looks great. But then sometimes I'm like, I 571 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,600 just want to get stuff out there, right? 572 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,040 I want something out there to captors, people's attention. 573 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,720 What's kind of your philosophy on that as far as I guess to 574 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,120 break it down, simple terms of quality over quantity? 575 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,800 For sure. So naturally I'm a perfectionist 576 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,040 and I think that when I started making content like I talked a 577 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,960 little bit about earlier, I really focused a lot on just 578 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,320 trying to show off my editing skills and do all these way over 579 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:26,480 the top 2 meticulous edits. And it's not like I saw any 580 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,680 crazy growth, not that that should be your focus for 581 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,920 creating content because I, I just, I loved making it. 582 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,880 You just have to find the balance that makes you feel good 583 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,360 about yourself at the end of the day, I guess the best way to say 584 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,240 it, So you're balancing what you enjoy with what your audience is 585 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,720 enjoying as well. So to transition away, because 586 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,800 the first few things that I made for another round, maybe I would 587 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,280 take all this time to do an insane edit and it would just 588 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,720 get utterly blanked. No one cared. 589 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,920 And you're like, man, that is painful. 590 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,680 But again, the audience will always tell you if they're 591 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,800 enjoying something or not. And it can be easy to be like, 592 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,720 man, they just don't get it. Like they just don't. 593 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,640 And it's like, just try other stuff. 594 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,280 You can still make total content even if I'm not. 595 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,080 So yeah, point I'm getting to is like trying to meld what I did 596 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,280 with what another Round did because Joe's was very, and I 597 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,760 mean this in the best way possible, like bare bones, just 598 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,760 film himself with an iPhone and like Ace and the IT factor of 599 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,480 what he's doing comes through to the viewer. 600 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,520 So I'm pretty much just like trying to lightly edit things 601 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,000 that don't get in the way of what is happening in the video, 602 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,800 try to let the video shine, but things that elevate it and be 603 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,320 like, oh, that was kind of clean. 604 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,880 I guess it's kind of the best way I can say it. 605 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,800 But yeah, it's it's different for everyone. 606 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,560 Just mess around with stuff, edit something heavily, edit 607 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,680 something a little bit and just see what what you're liking. 608 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,760 So. What? 609 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,000 What else do you do? What else does Nate do when he's 610 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,320 not editing disc golf? When he's not thinking disc 611 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,600 golf. When I'm not doing disc golf 612 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,200 right now, well, I like to cook a lot. 613 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,520 I I do a lot of cooking at home and some of the another round 614 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,360 boys also like to cook. So it's fun to talk with those 615 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,800 guys about that big into. Talking like grilling or like 616 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,800 fancy meals? What do we mean when we say 617 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:28,880 cooking? What do you mean? 618 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,200 Yeah, it's like a balance of stuff, just like making like a 619 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,480 pot roast. Like we got snow down here in 620 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,560 Charlotte and it's like nothing like for some people, they're 621 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,360 exactly like you laughed. And I know you don't mean it in 622 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,000 like a bad way. It's just like, it's just like 623 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,200 for me, I'm so stoked on that pot roast and making one that 624 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,200 people eat it in their face. Just I see them melt or like, 625 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,160 yeah, making like a chicken pot pie. 626 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,400 I'm just stoked. I'm trying to make food as good 627 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,040 as I can. Like I was very lucky growing 628 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,880 up. My mom is an incredible chef and 629 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,520 this EI got to stay up in New England for like 5 days for my 630 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,240 birthday and my mom made me like prime rib. 631 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,840 I just want to aspire to be like that, you know what I mean? 632 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,040 Also like go out to hockey with the Another Round boys love to 633 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,960 go watch hockey. Otherwise, like like I mentioned 634 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,920 before, I used to do a lot of music and maybe occasionally 635 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,360 you'll see me do some like guitar stuff on the Another 636 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,040 Round account, but it's very very rare now that I play guitar 637 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,880 but would like to do a little bit more moving forward. 638 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,520 I know I'm kind of bouncing around with these things, 639 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,040 popping my head at the disk E, There was the content creator 640 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,000 panel, right? And I asked that question and I 641 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,600 want to get your feedback on it as well. 642 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,680 Here is that I noticed this is something I noticed and there's 643 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,560 this in my mind, it's kind of a controversial, not a 644 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,240 controversial topic, but I know some people probably don't care. 645 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,120 But I noticed that the players that had tables set up, they had 646 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,040 crowds there and they had people talking to him, but the content 647 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,560 creators had the same amount, if not more of a crowd around them, 648 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,080 right? And then even MVP, you know, MVP 649 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,960 had the huge line, but there was a lot of people wanting to talk 650 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,440 to Simon. Now, Simon's kind of that 651 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,480 outlier. He's kind of both he's that, you 652 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,360 know, content creator and and disc golfer. 653 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,000 So he's kind of maybe not even part of the talks. 654 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,640 But what are your thoughts on the word influencer gets kind of 655 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,560 overused, but what are your thoughts on that as far as how 656 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,120 we have these content creators that are decent at disc golf, 657 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,440 Some of them aren't that great at disc golf, but they're good 658 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,600 at telling a story and creating content and that's what people 659 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,320 consume. What are your thoughts on the 660 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,160 balance of who influences people to buy particular discs? 661 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,680 I think people just want to, when they consume content, they 662 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,960 just want to be entertained and they just want to relate to 663 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,080 people. I think that's why we're seeing 664 00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,080 this weird shift right now with like pro disc golf and like 665 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,280 you're saying, you, you have these again, influencers, I 666 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,520 guess the word we'll use where so many people are like buying 667 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,840 out all their discs, like they do a custom disc and it's like 668 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,320 boom, they're gone. Or like some people are able to 669 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,080 make it their full time job. I think we're just, that's just 670 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,199 kind of going to be the future of disc golf for now because you 671 00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:26,080 would see like some pros that maybe finished like 70th place 672 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,320 and maybe they're do it like awesome people and they have 673 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,239 like a cool contract, but maybe you're not really hearing much 674 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,920 about it. So maybe investing your money in 675 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,400 some of these content creators that are getting 10s to hundreds 676 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,520 of thousands of viewers. Way more people are going to be 677 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,320 able to not only see their personality, but just like get a 678 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,480 feel for who they are through every single video. 679 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,440 And then they're they're rooting for that person, ideally after 680 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,320 multiple things. Kind of a good example like you 681 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,280 mentioned, Simon right now. So for another round, we brought 682 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,240 Austin Turner down to or up to disk E rather. 683 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,800 And he's kind of finding he's like, I love doing this YouTube 684 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,400 stuff. And it was very cool because I 685 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,400 think a lot of people, they would look at him previously and 686 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,360 just be like, I think like that guy's kind of a jerk or like 687 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,960 they just didn't really know who he was. 688 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,280 And now they're finding through the YouTube stuff that he is 689 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,640 just one of the funniest people in disc golf, like bar none. 690 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,720 And they would come up and just be gassing that dude up so many 691 00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:29,800 times. And it was, it was the coolest 692 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,160 thing ever to be because to a certain extent, like I'm kind of 693 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,760 Austin Turner's personal editor at this point. 694 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,840 Like all the stuff that I'm doing, like, like he made the, 695 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,760 like top team for like his manufacturer. 696 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,640 And it's like, it's a team effort, man. 697 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,280 So yeah, it's it's cool to see, Yeah. 698 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,560 That's cool. It is interesting to see and and 699 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,800 the content marketing not I mean just not even disc golf in in 700 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,160 any industry. Content marketing is still 701 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,880 looking to be a billion dollar business. 702 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,280 More and more people are going to look less and less to the 703 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,000 brands and more and more to people, authentic people 704 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,600 actually using the product. Yeah. 705 00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:11,560 So yeah, it's just going to grow, get bigger and bigger. 706 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,400 What what do you got going on as far as 2026? 707 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,920 Is any big plans?

Something that I can talk about. 715 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,000 I think I can share that we're going to be doing a podcast. 716 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,600 Maybe I mentioned that at the top of this episode doing some 717 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,000 podcasts for another round.

Well, that's, that's kind of the 720 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,440 discussion right now. There's essentially 3 different 721 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,480 podcasts that they want to do.

Maybe a misconception? 733 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,440 Bobby, you're asking, you're asking the good questions. 734 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,600 So people, it always comes from a good place, but people will 735 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,800 reach out on the another round account asking Joe if he wants 736 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,920 to like yo, like let's just go play. 737 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,240 And I don't know if people understand the level of work 738 00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:03,600 that is required to do all this, like all the content combined 739 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000 like it is. It's not even just a full time 740 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,360 job. The fact that Joe did this 741 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,960 before I even started helping him, I don't know. 742 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,240 I don't know how he it's just not possible. 743 00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:16,040 I want viewers and listeners to understand that. 744 00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:21,880 So maybe just like the workload, because obviously it's just us 745 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,640 playing disc golf and that is cool and it's, we're all 746 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,840 incredibly grateful to do that.

I'm out. 765 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,400 Don't tell me, don't talk to you about disc golf. 766 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,200 I'm going to go watch another episode of A Night of the Seven 767 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,640 Kingdoms or something like that, you know, to get to get away. 768 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,160 By the way, have you watched that The Night? 769 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,160 Do you? Are you A Game of Thrones? 770 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,360 Do you watch? That that is actually one of the 771 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,400 big shows that at this point I've never seen and I feel like 772 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,600 it's gone so long now that I haven't seen it. 773 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,120 I'm just going to, I'm kind of OK with sticking it out even 774 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,240 though I love like sort of fantasy based content like that. 775 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,200 It's. Pretty, I'm sure at some point. 776 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,320 It's pretty intense and it's got some like a question like times. 777 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,720 I'm like, really, should I be watching this? 778 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,880 This is like eating me. But but it's good. 779 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,720 It's good acting, good cinematography, good 780 00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,240 storytelling. Anyway, that was way off Change 781 00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:00,600 it. I only thought that because I 782 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,000 literally watched an episode last night. 783 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,920 It was a good episode. My, my wife does a good job of 784 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,280 like bringing me back to earth in the, the sense of like, I 785 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,440 love TV's and movies, TV's and movies, TV and movies, but I 786 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,880 just don't do it sometimes because I just end up working on 787 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,480 whatever and it's like, hey, watch this and I'm like, I kind 788 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,800 of fight it, but then I do it and I'm like, that was awesome. 789 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,360 Like why was I being weird about taking the time to do this thing 790 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,160 that I enjoy? It's like video games like that 791 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,160 was such a huge part of my childhood and very rarely do I 792 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,440 find myself doing it nowadays. Do you have any influencers or 793 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,760 content readers that you watch out outside of disc golf that 794 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,880 kind of help give you ideas or just is entertaining for you? 795 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,680 I don't know about give me ideas per SE, but YouTube that I enjoy 796 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,880 because I feel like I mostly consume YouTube. 797 00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,920 If anyone back to cooking, if anyone enjoys like Maddie 798 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,600 Matheson guy is just like 45 year old. 799 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:03,040 He used to have He was like a classically trained chef from 800 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,200 Canada that had just covered in tattoos and got into like had a 801 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,040 lot of like problematic years. And now it's completely turned 802 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,280 his life around just by cooking and putting out his his content 803 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,680 on YouTube. And it's the coolest thing to 804 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,080 watch this very loud personality and just doesn't care what 805 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,480 people think, which I definitely pulled a lot of inspiration from 806 00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:30,240 other other YouTube that I consume like I watch. 807 00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:32,960 I would watch like Curtis Connor, I guess is one that I 808 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,720 would I did like a little bit. It's like a little too sound 809 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:41,120 effects and like, whoa, that was crazy sort of stuff. 810 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,880 But I I love it for what it is. I just feel like if I were to 811 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,200 bring that over to another round, it'd be like a little too 812 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,600 like crazy gimmicky. I'm sure I'm missing some, but 813 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,640 those are the two that come to my come to mind, right? 814 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,800 Now do you have, do you have a Like sometimes I will take if 815 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,000 I'm, if I'm at a certain point and I'm like, I don't want to 816 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,720 start a new project until lunch or at the end of the day, I'll 817 00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:09,400 scroll purposely on TikTok looking for memes or trends. 818 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,840 Do you often do that, or is it such part of what you do through 819 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,680 the day that you find trends or good ideas? 820 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,680 Bobby, I am perpetually online and I feel like I have very 821 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,920 good, I said good restrictions for myself of when to be on post 822 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,720 and then just go away and work on other stuff. 823 00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:28,720 But it's impossible where it can field like this. 824 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,520 If I do go on, it'll be funny enough. 825 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,360 It's me finding like original audio or like cool music to use 826 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,600 for another round. Like that's pretty much it. 827 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,920 It's just like when I get on that part of the algorithm, 828 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,200 we're just throwing me banger after banger. 829 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,920 I love that. Just save like 20 pieces of 830 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,160 audio at a time. But no, not really like going 831 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,960 through looking for ideas again, it's just like, what ideas do I 832 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,840 come up with as we're doing content or I consume, obviously 833 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,160 I consume disc golf content. So maybe someone puts out a 834 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,760 video and I'm like, man, great video, but I wish they did this. 835 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,920 So it's like, maybe I'll explore that in the future. 836 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,640 Yeah, OK. Another bounce around question. 837 00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:17,520 So for me, you know, I, I am Dynamic Discs, right? 838 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,120 And so they really want me to concentrate on Dynamic Discs, 839 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,560 which is fantastic. It's great, right? 840 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,640 I can have an endless supply, but when I was able to do all 841 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,600 well, I'm not able to. But when my job was to do the 842 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,240 other three brands as well, I found that a little bit easier 843 00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:33,760 to come up with different ideas and always having things going 844 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,080 on. So my question is with you being 845 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,800 another round and being able to touch any brand you want to, it 846 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,320 feels like that's like, is it too much to cover or is that 847 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,560 good for you? Does that make sense? 848 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,640 In other words, you, you probably have releases all the 849 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,840 time with from all the brands. How do you work? 850 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,480 Yeah. How do you work through that? 851 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,760 Oh, this is a perfect example of a question that I've just done 852 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,520 it, but I haven't actually thought about what the process 853 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,600 is. Yeah, I I would say overall it's 854 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,440 a net positive. Like I love there are 855 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,360 manufacturers that we know are popular and a lot of times 856 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,720 that's what a lot of people are going to want to go off go after 857 00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:20,720 and see content of. But sometimes being able to do 858 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:25,000 content for some of the other brands, it's like, it's a sigh 859 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,160 of relief. Like it's, it's very refreshing 860 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,920 to go and see like a different brand sometimes to see how they 861 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,520 fly and go back to your roots. And that's nice. 862 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,360 So I I wouldn't consider that balance like a tricky part. 863 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,600 You always want to, you know, being another round at the end 864 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,960 of the day, another round is like a business that is trying 865 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,400 to sell frisbees. So maybe there are some ideas 866 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,240 that are like, that would be so cool to do. 867 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,800 We could never do it because like we have a certain framework 868 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,200 that we kind of have to work around. 869 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,960 Right. But no, I I don't get 870 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,280 overwhelmed by at this point, I think starting out, like I said, 871 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,000 I, I for sure did, but now it's gotten into a little bit more of 872 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,520 a like a rhythm as a calendar that shows when certain 873 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,880 deadlines have to be done by and I just, I just get it done. 874 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,160 Nice, All right, Nate, well, I appreciate you coming on the 875 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,840 show and I enjoyed learning more about you for sure. 876 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,840 I would love to have you on like like I would want to see six 877 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,680 months from now after we go through a whole disc offseason 878 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,720 of, you know, the tournaments and busyness and check up on how 879 00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:34,000 you're doing with the podcast.

I have, I forgot that segment. 915 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,560 Yes, OK. So this is the part where. 916 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,640 I got you you. Get to ask me anything you want 917 00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:16,040 and I will answer it. I was curious from your 918 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,800 perspective, like what do you, what do you want people to take 919 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,560 away from Dynamic Discs like you traditionally? 920 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,520 I know people have said that you guys kind of catered to more of 921 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,480 like a recreational audience. You had things and like I 922 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,160 remember the era of Dynamic discs putting out like like that 923 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,440 was pretty much disc golf YouTube back in like 2021, that 924 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,640 sort of time frame. Kyle, like one of the Co owners 925 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,960 of another round was on team dynamic and he would talk about 926 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,200 glass blown open back in the day and just what a crazy event it 927 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,080 was and it would just bring all these people together. 928 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,120 So what do you what type of narrative are you trying to have 929 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,120 people walk away with, or what do you want people to understand 930 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,040 about the brand? I I want to and it's always been 931 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,320 this way. This has always been my 932 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,520 approach. I want to be the guy that like 933 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,920 it's a, it's a Saturday or it's a Friday night and you're like 934 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,320 Saturday is going to be a gorgeous day. 935 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,360 Let's go play some disc golf. Let's not worry about let we can 936 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,160 keep scores if you want to, but I'm not going to keep score. 937 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,440 I just want to get out there and I want to shoot really well. 938 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,400 I want to try that new disc I just picked up and I just want 939 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,840 to have a good time. I want to be the guys that you 940 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,840 want to do that with and just go play around a disc golf. 941 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,440 And yeah, so if you're if you're like, but I want to GoPro, fine. 942 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,280 We've got great products to help you GoPro. 943 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,760 I'll help you along the way. See if I can get you some great 944 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,280 discs to help you GoPro. But really, I just want to be 945 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,480 the guys that you want to hang out and have a good time with. 946 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,600 That's awesome. I mean, that's we're kind of the 947 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,960 same in that regard then, because it's exactly that's what 948 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,800 I want out of disc golf. And I know a lot of people are 949 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,360 super into the competitive scene and it's just never, it's just 950 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,080 never really done anything for me. 951 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,480 It's like those, like I said at the top, just those summer 952 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,080 nights that I can go out and hang out with like my wife or my 953 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,320 father-in-law, my my buddies and just be able to go play like 954 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,800 late Friday night at Maple Hill.
