    Back to work? Are client meetings the same as having a work schedule? Working on a few long form content ideas. Here’s the issue: how do I do extensive listening in Chinese and Russian if I have to concentrate on creating content? Working with freelancers Maybe I’ll have to wade into this. Aaaaaand finally! Episode 45 is up! William Griffith of Live China Music fames joins me on the podcast to talk about his massive undertaking to document the goings on of the indie music scene here in China. We were introduced by Brad Seippel (Episode 42), but this episode I would say is a follow on from another interview Will did with Forrest Zhou of ZhuChangSiLe fame (Episode 33). A clip of the show follows today’s episode, full episode up on Spotify, Apple and YouTube! https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stevensirskipodcast/episodes/SSP45---William-Griffith-e2ldqq7 Hey you can donate to the show!

    Hmmm, work slows down, so why am I not in Canada? Canada Day this weekend, many years since I first entered the bar scene! Episode 45 has been edited and cut up, so we’re looking for a tomorrow release date! Language vlog continues, I think I may have swamped my editor with a bit too much! Might have to get a second video editor in to handle the workflow! And the thought… if this was my job, would I like it? Trump vs Biden… who cares? Lots of people saying they’re just trying to get Biden back in so someone else can take his spot when he keels over. Hey you can donate to the show!

    Chatbots are the teacher of the future, your teaching career regardless of the subject depends on you developing an automated system that will teach people on their own time and in the subject they are interested in. Sales, business, marketing, communication, bye bye generic drunken English teacher trying to sleep with their students. Got paid, yet it doesn’t feel like enough! Not a bad thing, simply means that I think I’m worth more. Obviously, however, the market has determined that I’ve been justifiably remunerated. New long videos in the works! Follow Steve’s Language Vlog for more. Workout in! 7km in 48min and another 20 minutes with the slam ball… bit hot out there today! You don’t need a gym! Hey you can donate to the show!

    Florida wins, congrats goes to Paul Maurice Edmonton will have to try again next year. Watched the live stream, I haven’t seen commercials in English in a very long time! No workout today as I kinda just kept working. Was trying to figure out ChatGPT’s API. Bought a ChatGPT subscription through Apple thinking I’d get the API, I didn’t. Still need to get that. There is Perplexity AI that is bundled with an API, but Zapier doesn’t integrate with it. Make.com does, but that also requires a credit card to use. On the flipside, Make.com does have an iPhone APP, but it requires logging in through a code. Looks like I’m stuck here. Hey you can donate to the show!

    It’s the solstice! First sponsor! $30! Sheeeit! What do I do? They said it was for Blue Frog, but since it went through Paypal, this will go to production costs! Thank you! Edmonton Oilers into the Stanley Cup, did not even realize this. The team had a huge dynasty in the 1980s and lasted until Calgary Flames took over. And then Gretzky left for more money is Los Angeles. Another half day, these are a better way to work. Aaaaaaand Final Cut Camera and Final Cut Pro iPad released today! Looks neat, will make picture in picture videos a lot easier using the ipad. And Episode 46 is in the planning stages! Hey you can donate to the show!

    Second longest day of the year! Tomorrow is the solstice! And it’s 20/2024! Oh chuckle chuckle 🤭 Feeling MUCH better, but still sniffly. Got some automation done, how fast can I do this? About four hours. BUT it works: bulk uploading to TikTok BUT using Zapier to autofill the spreadsheet! Standing desk = broken! 麻烦了！Did try to sit for a while and now I remember why I got one in the first place… it’s just better to have the choice. Looked for a replacement, my version is discontinued and they don’t sell parts, so bought a smaller replacement for the time being. Did I say the cicadas were going to be at the end of the episode? FML They’re here today. Hey you can donate to the show!

    Cicadas are back! Summer is here! How am I feeling? Still good enough to go for a run + workout at lunch. 6.45km in 40m 04s. Slam ball too, but moving slow. First four hours of the day marketing… can you imagine? How is Paris? Or CDG? Or, is it even safe to transfer through France this year? Made a CRM, or customer relations management tool, never had one so watched a YouTube video on how to create it. Hey you can donate to the show!
