Live Stream Success with the Alaska MEP

Megan Militello  00:00

What, what is this live stream experience been for you? It’s been great. No, it’s it’s been really good. I, no part of me anticipated it’s like everything that we do in life, right? No part of me anticipated doing this. Um, so being on the team with my role and what I was focused on. When Sammy had asked me about CO hosting the show, I was like, Okay, maybe I’m like, This is gonna be more time, right? But really, it’s, it’s a really good experience, like, it’s, really, it’s almost like a little break, like a little break out of the day, you know, to be like, Oh, let me just come and have a conversation, right? Like, talk to someone and learn about what they’re doing, learn about what they have going on. I think if you have that learner mindset, and you just take whatever tidbits you can from people, this is such a great experience to do that, especially we’re focused on manufacturing. We want to get some really good resources out there for other folks to watch the video and learn from, so you can dig into some stuff that people aren’t normally talking about. You know, that’s like, it’s just personal. It’s a little deeper, little more vulnerable, authentic. All my favorite words, you know, it’s good, it’s great, awesome. I love it. And Sammy Joe, as you’ve dug into it, what’s it done for you? Personally, professionally?

No, I think it’s definitely helped me break out of my shell a little bit more and just become a little bit more comfortable with being on camera and talking to people. And then I was super excited when Megan agreed to help co host, because Megan and come on. And I got to know her a little bit as a client before she started working. And she’s got this amazing, bubbly personality, where I was just like, oh, you know, I’m going to lose Curt. I can’t, I can’t have Curt forever, you know, like, let you know Megan. I think that this can be really fun. I think it is kind of cool having two people on there, because then it’s like, you know, she might be getting something that I I’m missing, or vice versa. And, you know, when you’re just focused on questions, sometimes it’s like, oh, but did you, you know, get this part? And then, I mean, we just had a live yesterday, and I so appreciate this. We’re also able to give each other feedback, like, what, what did we do? Right? What’s something we need to work on? Um, Megan’s like, you know, you’re kind of serious when you’re asking questions. Like, we want to be like, fun. I’m like, Oh, I wouldn’t have, like, picked that up. But sometimes I am. I’m just like, zone in and I’m focused, and I I make a concern face, and I totally do that. It’s just like, I so I’m like, I wouldn’t have known that. And so it’s so great that we’re able to do this, build that confidence, and then just like, give each other feedback, and like, grow and continue to grow. And so I know I’m super appreciative to have Megan, and we can just really bounce off each other. And it’s been a really, really fun experience to get to know just more businesses and then bring in more experts that we can continue to push on to our clients. And have these videos. So if someone comes to us and says, hey, I’m interested in E commerce, or I want to sell my business. It’s like, well, check out this, live with Damon. Let me send it to you, and we can get you guys hooked up. Or, you know, let, let’s go to Uncle Curt. You know, there’s just like, now we’ve got these videos that we can really like share out with our clients. And I think that’s really impactful.
