One
week ago, while out for a walk, I was listening to a “Tea with Gary Vee”
episode and got inspired to do something new during this “Coronatine” era we
are currently experiencing.
“Tea
with Gary Vee”
While
I have written before about my newfound appreciation for Gary
Vaynerchuk’s content, he has a new daily show called “Tea with Gary Vee”, which is a two-hour
“call-in” show, where people Skype/Zoom/whatever tele-call in to ask them their
questions about what they can be doing for their businesses/professional
aspirations during this challenging time. It’s a clever idea.
More
Videos?
While
listening to it, one of the callers had asked him about building her
business/brand and he said start a podcast, do something new, just like he was
doing. While I already have a podcast going, I decided I don’t need another
one. While I do weekly videos, do I need more video projects?
“A
Few with Drew”
However,
it dawned on me, what if I just do a simple video, without any editing and just
publish that? I then came up with a simple concept: daily 3-5 minute videos of
me chatting about a few topics, including what’s going on with me, but also
open to listener/viewer questions. I went with the cute moniker, “A Few with Drew”, referring both to a few
minutes with me, but also a few topics.
Live
Zoom Chat
So,
one week ago, I began this project, and, after the first video, someone
commented I should have a live Zoom meeting where we get together and drink and
chat, so I created a Zoom meeting for last evening.
Keeping
the Conversation Going
Amidst
the chat, which actually got a few people to attend(!), we discussed a few
things, including Star Wars and more and...it was suggested we continue this
group beyond the Zoom meeting chat. Someone else suggested we use Discord to
keep the conversation going!
So
now, there is a Discord server with separate topics, including Star Wars,
Jewish Drinking, and there will be more. Oh, and we plan on continuing the Zoom
meeting chat on a weekly basis.
It’s
unexpected what can happen when trying new things!
