Google Hangouts On Air – What This Means

Paul Colligan — Tue, 08 May 2012 01:31:15 +0000

I've spent most of the day in a bit of a daze. The announcement that Google is rolling out Google Hangouts on Air to everyone over the next few weeks has staggering implications. I'll explore a few of the big issues here but I would love your thoughts as well.

1 – The free webinar platform that everyone has already heard of. "Yeah, we'll be live at YouTube.com/YourChannelName today at 6" will launch a number of stars. People who were / are scared of webinars aren't scared of YouTube. YouTube is friendly – it's where the cat videos are. Awesome.

2 – The world's easiest workflow. It always seems that whenever I do anything live, the hardest work always comes after the event. The idea that I can hang up on the show and the bad boy is live (the archive) a few minutes later will only get me to produce more content – because I can now focus on the content – not the production.

3 – A platform for the phones. This stuff works on smartyphones as easily as it works on the desktop. When we streamed the Blue Like Jazz premiere a few weeks back, I was stunned that more than half the audience watched on their mobile devices. This will all happen automatically and I can't wait.

4 – A shot at some companies I hold dear. I'll still need companies like Watershed and GotoWebinar for my premium stuff, but let's face it, Google is sure making this cheap and easy.

5 – A chance for curation. I directory of what is happening live across all the live platforms could be very powerful profitable.

6 – Competition. Ustream and the rest won't go down without a fight. We're going to see some crazy new stuff in the next few weeks/months to compete. We will win. Awesome.

Those are my big take homes. What are yours?

Make Heroes Of Your Customers

Paul Colligan — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:46:39 +0000

Tomorrow is the 9th and final (teaching) Webinar for the Cross Channel Mojo program. I gotta admit, I'm a bit choked up about the whole thing. This has been the most rewarding training program I've ever done.

One of the reasons, and I hope everyone takes this to heart, is that I've really done everything I can to follow +Michael Koenigs 's leadership in his "Make Heroes Of Your Customers" approach. Every week (inside the training) we highlight students who have done well (they report in an "honor roll" forum thread) and, this week I'm just how stunned at how far the group has gone. One has changed her business to owning an asset (from consulting), another is taking an important step in that direction and the final one, simply, quit the day job.

My only regret is that I can only (in this implementation) brag on the customers to existing customers – I really want to tell everyone the results. At this point, and in this implementation, we can't.

Trust you me this, that will change

No matter who you are, make heroes of your customers. They're worth it.
