We had 1500 happy audience members tune in to our single live stream this month. Here are my thoughts on doing it right.

I am the guy that sits and watches an open mic night sober, then takes a walk for an hour thinking about every single performer and what they could do better or worse. I remember watching The Cosby Show with my family and trying to not laugh because I thought being funny was about not laughing. At age 11, I decided to wear fragrance-free soap because I thought it would distract from the magic tricks I was doing at a Boy Scout banquet. I am ridiculously analytical of entertainment.

I wrote about making a website that’s actually helpful to you. How does one take a bloated, unstimulating website and make it useful with .No.Red.Flags.

Everyone needs a website, right? And an instagram following? And a popular youtube channel? A big email list, phone list, twitch posse, staff, photoshop skills, a covered wagon, whiteboard, a bandsaw, an app that mows your lawn! Then, you’ll be good! Then, people will hire you to dress like a turnip for their birthday parties and you’ll be living large!

Entertainment companies and entertainers get dragged into this idea of making a super great website because they think it will open the money faucet for their biz. This is not true. You don’t need a website at all to close a deal in 2020.

When all the gigs disappear suddenly, entertainers get desperate and they’ll do whatever they can to survive. We can get very vulnerable to bad decisions when we are living in a narrative that drives fear. We can get ripped off … by ourselves.

You’re not limited by your “creativity” you’re limited by your selfishness. It’s okay. Everyone has some selfishness. Creativity is not a measure of some magical power you have. It’s the evidence of how much you have created. Create things for people you love and you’ll be prolific.
