One of the main facets of SkinnyDipping Summer that I wanted to
highlight in this series is thatskinny dipping is for the
creatives. It's for the artist.
Even if you don't feel like, oh,I'm not an artist or I don't do
my art for a living. I don't care if you are a
creative being. Honestly, if you relate to the
things that we talk about here, I am guessing like 9 out of 10
(00:21):
of you are very creative beings.And today I want to talk about
the new wave of creation and thenew wave of artists.
And how are we supposed to navigate this field that is now
centered around social media? And social media is how we have
visibility for our art and our creations.
(00:42):
And yeah, we're going to talk about it today.
We're going to talk about the nuances.
And then we're going to talk about the blockages around being
seen on social media because so many of us want to be seen for
what it is that we want to do inthe world and what we want to
create in the world. But we have blockages, we have
limiting beliefs, we have fear. So we're going to talk about
that. And then we're also going to
talk about the actual steps to sharing your art.
(01:02):
So let's drip down and dive in. It's a windy day.
We're recording outside, but I just feel more me under this
tree. So we're we're going to stay out
here. I'm Kayla Rose.
This is skinny dipping the podcast and who's ready to strip
down and dive in. This should be a fun one,
especially for those looking to follow their dreams.
But even if you're not, I feel like there's a special golden
(01:23):
nugget in here for you. What's up guys?
And welcome to skinny dipping summer.
I'm Kayla Rose, your host. If you are new here, welcome.
We love to talk about the mind, the body, the soul.
We love to have inquiry around what it means to be human, our
emotions, our relationship to the material world, our
(01:44):
relationship to others, and our art and the collective.
We love to talk about it all. But today we're talking about
how content has been, this new form of how we share our art.
And I have so many thoughts. So I just want to because I'm
(02:05):
trying to keep these episodes more like bite size under 30
minutes. If you haven't been able to
tell, let me know what you thinkabout that.
You know, I'm always open to your guys''s feedback.
And I heard you when you said you wanted the solo episode.
So here I am, here I am the soloepisodes, and I really have
poured so much into these episodes.
I hope you can feel it through the words in the season and all
(02:29):
the past episodes that you've heard so far.
I hope you can hear the intention that I put in to the
thinking, the journaling, the research all behind these
episodes because I really want to talk about these topics in a
nuanced way that feels really inintegrity with who I am now in
this current moment. Because I've been on this
journey for three years or more with you guys and I've changed
(02:54):
and I've grown and I've evolved so much.
I feel like the things that I used to talk about, I didn't
used to embody. And now sometimes I don't talk
about the things, but I'm embodying them and I'm living
them because I've been practicing what it means to live
an aligned and an integrity lifefor eight years now.
And it really took me this long to really learn and know and
(03:17):
love myself. Like, good things take time, and
your relationship to yourself isone of those things.
So I can't wait to talk about content and art and creativity
and visibility and being seen. And if you want to be seen, what
are the fears around it? How do we move through those
fears and what are the actionable steps for sharing our
art? Because there are so many of you
(03:40):
out there with a particular gift.
And I think that's the message that really came through when I
was thinking of this episode. It's like there are so many of
you out there with a gift for creating a gift for a certain
art form, whether that's speaking, writing, poetry,
painting, dancing, singing, music, playing an instrument.
(04:02):
Maybe it's a different form of art where you do like graphic
digital art. Or maybe it's just like the way
that you plan events is an art form to you.
Maybe it's the way that you cookfood is an art form to you and
you want to be seen for your craft because more visibility
means more opportunities and thedownloads that was coming
through from spirit and the universe and God was like, girl,
(04:23):
there are so many people in yourcommunity that have the
potential to be seen and to be visible in an incredibly
impactful way for the collective.
We need to help them so that their gifts can be seen when
confirmation coming in hot rightnow.
Let's take a big deep breath in together because I beautiful
(04:48):
because I think as we dive into these things, you're going to
feel your body begin to tense upat the thought of being seen
because being seen is scary. I work with a lot of people with
their podcasts and social media and being seen.
And the truth is your content can be amazing.
But if you have these subconscious fears, first of
all, you won't take the action towards your dreams.
And second of all, you, the energy that you're going to be
(05:09):
putting out isn't going to be magnetic to attracting people
because you're going to actuallybe subconsciously not wanting
people to see you because you don't want to be seen as trying
too hard or cringe or failing, or you don't want to be seen
doing too much or do you don't want to be seen, you know,
embarrassing yourself or you know, you don't, you don't want
to be seen period. So just notice as we begin to
(05:31):
talk about these things, just notice in your body if there's
any tension. And when tension arises, I want
you to just notice that part. Take a big long slow inhale,
holding your breath at the top, and a slow exhale throughout a
straw, and just imagine that part of your body softening.
(05:55):
And imagine that emotion, that feeling within you, that fear,
that resistance. Imagine it softening.
Hope you don't mind the wind today.
In the background, you're going to hear the birds, the chickens,
the wind, the horse if he startsrunning around.
But I just feel like recording out here is so me and so skinny
(06:16):
dipping. So let's drip down and dive in.
Also, while you're listening to this episode, if it's impacting
you in a positive way, I would love if you would share on
Instagram and tag me at Sundays KK at Skinny Dipping Diaries.
Also take a moment if you're notsubscribed or following us on
Apple Podcast or Spotify, just alittle a little follow so you
can see all the new episodes that come out.
(06:36):
OK, a new wave of creativity on social media.
Let's just dive into it. Lots of content creators are
just artists that want to be seen for what they do.
And if this is you, I understandthat it feels cringe to post
online and it also feels like itdilutes your art.
(06:56):
And I just want to offer you a lot of compassion in that
because I get it, because I feelthe same way sometimes.
I'm like how that's why I love podcasting and I love long form
content because it's like, how can I truly fit the words that I
want to say and the art that I want to create in this world?
How can I fit it into the 62nd video that is meant to capture
people's attention within the first 3 seconds?
(07:17):
Like it just dilutes the integrity of the art.
And I just want to say I have compassion for you.
And at the same time, like that is so real, that is so valid.
And there are so many people whoare creating content and
expressing their art in a way that feels an integrity with who
they are. And you can do that too.
Because the truth is this is theworld and the collective that we
(07:40):
are evolving into, where technology and social media has
a bigger grip on different partsof our lives.
And I think you should still continue to do art in the real
world in the face to face interaction with the world.
But I have to be so real with you that your art needs to be
seen by people because you are going to change people's lives
by making them feel not alone through your own expression in
(08:03):
order to reach the people that are going to feel seen by your
form of self-expression. We need to use social media as a
vehicle for visibility. And that's what it is.
It's supposed to draw people to you, your art, and your other
things outside of the social media Internet ether.
And I think a lot of artists have a really hard time
(08:25):
swallowing this pill and just realizing you got to get on the
fucking train. Because if you want to be seen,
social media is the world's greatest tool as a vehicle for
visibility, which is a vehicle for opportunities and people
seeing your art and you making money from your art.
If that's what you want, which you don't even have to want
that, honestly. Because honestly, I don't know
(08:48):
if I always recommend that. I feel like when you start doing
what you love for money, it doesalter the relationship with it
when it's actually like supporting your basic needs and
your basic income. But regardless, even if it's not
your full form of income supporting you, it still is so
cool to make money from your art, right?
It is that sort of like recognition and like a material
(09:12):
form of success and like a material recognition of like,
oh, people like this, people value this and you can totally
get paid from your art no matterwhat stage you're in.
So if you want that and that would boost your confidence,
definitely social media is also a tool for that.
And so many people want it, right?
They want to be seen, but they just don't either a know where
(09:35):
to begin or be they're self sabotaging and getting in their
way because they have a fear of being seen or fear of being
judged or a fear of being cringe.
So they just don't take the steps and they don't take the
action because they don't act actually want it.
They have that cognitive dissonance we talked about last
week in that episode where it's like they want something, but
(09:55):
their actions and behaviors aren't matching what they want.
And the truth is, you have to bereally fucking real with
yourself. Do you want this?
Do you want to be seen? Because for me, those were the
questions I had to ask myself. I was like, do I want to be seen
for what I do? And if I do, I need to get
really serious about it and I need to stay committed and
devoted and actually do the damnthing in post because nobody is
(10:19):
going to find you from your ideas in your notes app.
I'm going to be so real with you.
No one is going to find you fromyour ideas in your notes app if
they just sit there for months. The most successful people who
are creatives and who are seen for their creativity, I find
have a shortened window of time between the moment that they
(10:40):
come up with the idea, the moment they create the idea, and
the moment they launch the idea and share the idea with the
world. If you can shorten that time,
well, also respecting the integrity of the time that art
takes, if you can just kind of learn how to speed that up so
you're you're not rushing it. I never want you to rush it.
But let's be honest, you've had ideas in your notes out that you
(11:03):
wanted to do forever, projects that you wanted to do forever.
But why don't you do them? I want to be so real with you.
Why don't you do them? Crickets.
There is no reason except you'rejust getting in your own way and
honestly making excuses for yourself.
(11:24):
And I think if you were raised in a family that didn't make you
feel very confident in your gifts, this also is something to
undo and unweave. But the truth is that I don't
think you're going to find that confidence in therapy by talking
about your trauma and sitting onit.
(11:44):
Maybe that will help you, but I'm guessing it probably won't.
And it'll only keep you stuck inthat story.
And what you actually need is totake action because every time
that you take a small step, an actionable step, your confidence
grows and you realize, I can do it.
And you realize, oh, I am proud of myself.
So the truth is that I don't think the confidence comes from
(12:04):
sitting in therapy and staring at our wounds.
I think the confidence truly comes from taking actionable
steps and showing ourselves thatwe're willing to do what it
takes to create what we want to create.
And if you don't know where to begin, I would say begin with a
project. Project mindset is my favorite
thing in the world because it's how I've accomplished my entire
career is breaking it down into little projects like the the
(12:27):
platforms that I've gained just by like breaking things into
like one to three month projectsand focusing on that and
devoting an intentional practiceto that.
And whatever I'm creating, like the project mindset will
actually help you get things done a lot faster by being like,
OK, what am I focusing on this month?
What am I creating this month? And by doing that, you can
(12:51):
really focus on creating, being in it, and then being like, OK,
how do I launch and how do I share?
And this is where I see people get stuck because they're like,
no one's buying my art. Well, are you talking about your
art? Are you posting about it?
Are you sharing about it? Are you honestly
unapologetically just being like, hey, look at what I'm
creating? Like if you're not doing that,
(13:12):
you're not trying. And I think people are like, oh,
no one's seeing my stuff. And it's like, well, are you
actually putting yourself out there and trying?
Or are you just saying that you want it and not doing it?
So that's my big sis advice. Just being really real with you.
No bullshit, 'cause I feel like somebody needs to hear it.
How do we balance? I feel like what a lot of
(13:34):
artists are finding is that theymay be compromising their vision
or the length of their vision 'cause they have to fit it into
a certain time frame. Or maybe the delivery of the
vision to connect with short form content and the attention
spans of people. And it's like, how do we
navigate this while sharing content and navigating those
(13:54):
nuances while still being in integrity with our art?
So for example, I actually have this friend here on Maui, her
name's Tara Morelove, and she's coming into my field right now
to share with you guys because she is an incredible creative
and has written a book. And this is where she's pouring,
you know, her art into her poetry.
(14:17):
And then on Instagram, she'll like, I guess she'll meditate
and then she'll write down little like sound rights of
wisdom or poetry or symbolism onTwitter and or X or whatever and
then screenshot it and post it on Instagram.
So she's navigating feeding her soul through writing her poetry
(14:38):
and meditating and, you know, creating her book and this like
long form content while also at the same time using social media
as a vehicle for visibility. Because what she's doing is
she's dropping Nuggets and pieces of wisdom that align with
her poetry on X and Twitter, screenshotting it, posting on
(14:58):
Instagram. And what happens is when people
see your post, they resonate with it and they share it to
their story, they share it to a friend, they save it for later.
Shareability and save ability are the two biggest factors when
it comes to boosting the algorithm and when it comes to
being seen by more people who aren't your current audience.
(15:18):
And that's really what Instagramand TikTok uses to push your
content out to more people. If people are sharing it to
their stories, this is going to be a huge vehicle for visibility
for you to find new people who haven't seen you before.
So that's just an example of howare we supposed to honor our
integrity and our art while still being willing to kind of
(15:41):
play the game in order to be seen and have the opportunities
we want to have. And I think the best artists
respect their art enough to knowthat they maybe have to do
cringy things in order to be seen in the way that they want
to be seen. Because they understand that
they respect and love their art and what they're creating so
much that they're willing to be a little bit cringe for people
(16:02):
to see it. And for example, Addison Rae,
you know, like she's releasing her music.
She's really rebranding as this person that she wants to be as
this it pop girl. And the truth is, like she was
posting all of these cringey TikTok.
She was posting 5810 times a dayfor years.
Are you willing to put in that dedication?
Because she was, because she sawit as a gateway to being seen
(16:27):
and known for what she wanted. And that is genius.
And you're able to rebrand. No one is judging you for being
cringy, only the only people that are judging you for being
cringy. I'm not going to say nobody's
judging you for being cringy because that's not true.
The only people that are judgingyou for being cringy are the
people that aren't willing to actually follow their dreams and
do it themselves. Because nobody who actually puts
(16:48):
themselves in a position to be seen and judged and cringe and
embarrassed on social media would ever judge anybody else.
I would never, I would physically never judge anybody
else for doing anything on social media, no matter how
cringy I actually thought it wasin my head.
Like I would never physically belike that's so cringy or like
comment or like whatever. Like in my head, even if I think
(17:11):
I don't particularly like what they're doing, I still am like
go you like literally go you because you are doing the hard
thing, which is putting yourselfout there and being willing to
be judged. And those people are going to be
the ones that are successful versus the people that wait till
they're perfect to show up. The key is to show up messy.
(17:31):
The key is to show up cringe anddo it before you feel ready, and
that's how you fucking get started.
So let's talk about the different blockages in my
advice. So in energetics, we talk about
resistance really being this fear.
Resistance is really stuck fear in the body.
So that's why energetically, when you you keep putting off
(17:54):
that dream or you keep putting off that project or that art
piece or that poem or that time for you just to sit down and
explore your inner world. Because that's what artists need
to do is, you know, sometimes itjust comes to you and sometimes
you need to have a devoted practice daily so that the art
can show up. And I think we need both
depending on where you're at in your journey.
(18:15):
But we've really begin to noticethat this fear, the self
sabotage, this resistance is coming from different limiting
beliefs, different blockages, different fears.
So the first one is the fear of being seen.
And the fear of being seen playsinto all these other fears.
Because if you were seen but knew for sure you would be loved
and admired, would you think twice?
(18:39):
I think maybe because there is this like, fear around safety.
You know, when someone gets really famous and you know, they
fear for their safety. Like I think that could be a
subconscious fear blocking a lotof people.
So really acknowledging yourselfthat you are safe and that like
you're not going to get at a KimK level.
(18:59):
Like maybe you will, maybe you know, a couple of you will
listening to this, but also knowing like you are safe being
like a micro celebrity, you're like an influencer, like you are
safe. You're OK.
I think one of the biggest fearsthat I see people dealing with
is the fear of being judged, maybe being judged for being
(19:20):
embarrassing or cringe or whatever.
And what I have to say to this is I'm not going to sit here and
tell you that you'll never be judged or no one's ever going to
think you're going to be cringy.But the truth is, the first time
that somebody calls you cringe or embarrassing, it hurts, it
stinks, it doesn't feel good. You question yourself, you might
cry. I've been there, I know.
(19:42):
But let me tell you something. Each time it gets so much
easier. And when that money starts
rolling in, when those opportunities start rolling in,
you will not care that that one random user 5437 on the Internet
called you cringe. You just won't.
You won't care because you're going to have the opportunities
because you did what it took to be seen and put yourself out
(20:06):
there. And most people aren't willing
to do that. And just by you being willing to
do that, you're already increasing your chances of
success because the only way to fail is by never trying, right?
So when we look at that, it's like, OK.
I just look at all the people that like, might make fun of
other people and I'm like, you are not my people, you are not
(20:27):
my people. Because the people I surround
myself with love to see people trying.
And I think it's so embarrassingin our society that people think
that it's cringe or embarrassingto try because it's not.
It's actually the coolest thing that you can do is actually try
and put effort into your art, into your work and to your
purpose. That is the hottest thing about
(20:48):
you, babe, is your devotion to your life and the life that
you're creating. So with that being said, the
people that are going to be judging you and calling you
cringe, they're not your fuckingpeople.
And they may, I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's not
going to happen. Your first viral video, you
probably will have haters and that means you're doing
something right, babe. Diva, pick up your crown.
(21:09):
Who cares if they think you're cringe?
Who cares if they think you're embarrassing?
What if I told you that if you actually started posting four to
five times a week, like Tik Toksor Reels?
Tik Toks and Reels right now arejust like the best for
increasing visibility for audiences who are not your
current followers. But what if I told you if you
(21:30):
stay consistent for six months, you would start actually growing
a community, growing a following?
Because you have to give the algorithm a moment to like catch
your vibe, catch your drift and match you with the correct
audience. And I really do see that it
takes six months of consistency and devotion before an idea
blossoms. And I honestly think about the
moon, like the new moon and the full moon, it's six months apart
(21:52):
in the same sign. And when I look at the moon, I
do look at my projects and I just noticed that it always
lines up the ideation of a project to the launch and
finishing of it is like that sixmonth period.
And I do think that you need to commit for six months without
even like, complaining about your views, without even
complaining about your reach or your followers.
Like stay devoted and see what happens.
(22:14):
What if I told you that it was almost a guarantee that if you
were devoted for six months, that something would pop off?
Because most likely it will. If you're creating high quality
content with good lighting, great value, you have something
to say that's important and relatable or resonates with
people. Or maybe you're sharing art
(22:35):
where people feel seen and connected to you or just
absolutely impressed and inspired by you.
Like if you're creating good asscontent for six months and
you're staying consistent, something is guaranteed to pop
off. I've seen this with my podcast
girls. Like the girls that actually
stayed committed for six months,they've had multiple viral
videos. And virality doesn't always mean
community. But God damn, doesn't it feel
(22:56):
good to be seen by so many people when you've been working
so hard at social media and yourcontent and getting your work
noticed? So what if I told you that it
was almost a guarantee? Because it almost is.
So that's why we have to throw out that fear of being judged.
The other fear that comes up is this analysis paralysis.
It's this. I can't start until I know
(23:18):
everything, until it's perfect. Do you see all your favorite
people? Like all your favorite
podcasters, all your favorite authors, all your favorite
content creators, all your favorite artists, all your
favorite musicians? Have you seen them?
When they first started out, they were not who they were
today. They just weren't.
And you won't be either. And I really do believe that the
(23:41):
more that you put off starting just delays your success.
You're not going to be more successful from waiting.
I'm sorry. You're not going to be more
successful from taking another six months to think about it and
get ready. Because it's the people that
show up messy and the people that show up in perfect.
They are the ones that end up being seen.
A big fear that I also see is this like fear of flopping.
(24:03):
And let me tell you, somebody who's been in the social media
world for like 4 years now, 4-5 years now, I don't even know.
I've been making money off of itfor about five years now.
I've been doing social media forseven, but I didn't like start
getting paid until like 2 years in because things take fucking
time. But I think the fear of flopping
(24:24):
is a big one. Like, Oh my God, I'm going to
post a video and there's going to get no views.
So did every person when they first started, you know, And
also it's like with the flop era, like let me tell you, I've
been in social media for so long.
Oh, this is what I was going to say.
Thank you universe for dropping it back in.
But it's like, I've had so many eras where my views are popping
(24:45):
off, like the podcast is poppingoff, lots of money is coming in.
And then I've had flop eras where I'm like, everything I'm
doing isn't resonating. I don't know, the algorithm's
not liking it. Like I don't feel like my views
are good. And the truth is, like, I just
don't even let that affect me anymore because I see the wave.
I see how social media works. It picks you up and it drops you
down. And I understand that you have
(25:07):
to ride the wave out to have those high moments of success.
So I'm willing to go through theflop eras and keep evolving and
keep posting and keep sharing. Even if you know, I have 200,000
subscribers or followers on TikTok, you know, sometimes I
can get like 50 likes and I'm like, damn, she's flopping.
And then you know, there's another season that I'm getting
like 12 K on every single video.And the difference isn't me or
(25:31):
my content or my value or who I am.
Just the difference is the algorithm and just the wave of
social media and how it rise andhow it rides.
And you know, I'm OK with that. And I think the people that are
willing to be in a flop era and kind of like romanticize and be
like, if I'm in a flop era, thatmeans that my my rise era is
coming. Like just have fun with it.
(25:52):
It's not so fucking serious. Like it's really not so serious.
Just start sharing, OK, Actionable steps for sharing
your art. Let's get into it.
Look for creatives who are showing up in a way that you
resonate with. Look for creatives online in
your field or not in your field that are just showing their art
(26:13):
in a way that resonates with you.
And I think the best way to learn how to create content is
almost mimicking somebody else'scontent, not copyrighting it,
but mimicking it with your own spin, your own words, your own
value, but kind of mimicking maybe the style.
So you can learn how to edit, you can learn how to find good
lighting, good setups. You can learn, you know how to
create a really good hook in those first 3 seconds.
(26:36):
A hook being the first thing that you say on social media is
going to capture people's attention.
So say something really captivating and I think about it
like piano. I always talk about this with my
podcasts, Camp Girls, but in piano.
You know, I played piano all growing up and when you first
learned how to play piano, I waslike 5-6 years old.
You learn how to play other people's songs, other people's
(26:56):
music, and then eventually you just know how to play piano and
you can write your own songs. And it's kind of like that with
social media. Sometimes you kind of have to
just watch other people and learn and, and use your brain
and use your brain and be like, OK, I'm going to figure it out.
I think people get so frustratedwith technology, but it's like,
yeah, some people have a naturalknack for technology, but also a
(27:19):
lot of people don't, but they'rejust willing to push through and
be problem solvers. Because I think people come to
me with really basic questions about social media sometimes.
And I'm like, you could have Googled that or ChatGPT that,
you know, it's like, like you can figure it out on your own.
And I think people who are willing to be successful are the
people who see a problem and they're like, oh, I'm gonna
(27:39):
research it, figure it out and move through it.
Boom. I'm not gonna let this little
obstacle stop me. And I think that's just comes
from practicing being that type of person.
But I also think some people arejust more naturally that way.
So anyway, another actionable step is to just stop making
excuses and just go for it. The third actionable step is
having a project mindset. Yeah, I feel like project
(28:05):
mindsets are huge. We talked about that earlier,
but it's like breaking your nextthree months down into a project
and focusing on it is going to help you get more done than
trying to do a million things atonce.
Honing in on one thing and really going through the process
of ideation, creation and launching, because those are all
different stages, and I really do believe they're all different
(28:27):
parts of ourselves and we can't do them all at once.
So it's kind of nice for me personally to separate those
different stages of ideation, brainstorming.
And then we have creation, filming, editing, and then we
have launching, sharing, figuring out, positioning,
messaging, branding, how to get it out to people in the best way
(28:47):
possible. And yeah, I think in terms of
like actual social media analytics, I think like
shareability and saveability arehuge.
That's number one. So you want your content to be
really shareable. So something that somebody's
going to really resonate with, it really relates to them.
It holds a lot of value for them.
That's the number one thing I teach in my courses is like have
(29:09):
your content be value packed. When you have a lot of value,
like you are going to get sharesand then also watch time is
huge. Just making it entertaining and
interesting and thought provoking and good lighting,
good quality is all going to contribute to the second biggest
thing for having the algorithm push your content out there,
which is watch time. So making sure the first thing
(29:30):
that comes out of your mouth is a really captivating sentence.
It's a mic drop moment. We want that, right?
Because that's going to make people stay around for the rest
of the video and increase the watch time.
So those are my two biggest things when it comes to actually
creating content. What I would focus on if I were
you and just really making sure that your sound quality and your
video quality is good. Just like go ahead and like wipe
(29:51):
your camera. I'm like the girlies just need
to wipe their cameras because some of some of you guys are
filming with dirty screens and it's impacting the way that
TikTok or Instagram pushes out your content every time before
you film, just give your camera a good little wipe.
And the best place to find lighting, this is my life hack
is on the edge of shade. So you're in shade, but it's
light outside. This is why the car, I love the
(30:13):
filming in the car because it's such good lighting.
But at the edge of a window where it's like you're in the
shade, but the sun is right there, right on the other side
of you. If you're standing at the cusp
of shade, that is going to be the most beautiful, crisp,
amazing lighting. You're welcome.
So yeah, what do you guys think?I'm so curious.
Drop in the comments. If you're on Spotify, like drop
(30:35):
it below. And if you want to share your
art and start getting used to sharing your work and sharing
your craft before moving to Instagram, you can post.
We have like a whole hot girls have hobbies section in the soul
and Progress app. Basically it's $10 a month.
OK, there's a free trial so you can check it out.
And it's a social media feed, I call it.
(30:58):
So it's like like you can post sub stack articles.
You can post your day. You can post your song, your
poetry that you're working on. I want you to be able to share
everything that you're experiencing, your emotions,
your art. And then also if you need to
work on your practice of self devotion and committing to
yourself, there's meditation, breathwork, EFT tapping videos,
all on the studio on the Soul and Progress app.
(31:21):
This summer we're doing like a 10 day free trial.
It was originally seven days, but I wanted to give you guys a
10 day free trial so that peoplecan try the morning clarity
challenge, which is 10 days of videos under 10 minutes, where
you will find that morning clarity through a meditation,
through a somatic movement, through breath work, through EFT
tapping. Yeah, it's such a special
(31:43):
community. I'm so grateful.
Honestly, it's so fun. You guys got to get in there.
I like I like scrolling it more than Instagram.
I'm not gonna lie because I'm actually interested in these
women and their thoughts. I love their brain.
OK? I love you guys so much.

the healing world. Yeah, it just fuels everything.
So go check it out. OK.
(32:46):
Bye, guys.
One of the main facets of SkinnyDipping Summer that I wanted to
highlight in this series is thatskinny dipping is for the
creatives. It's for the artist.
Even if you don't feel like, oh,I'm not an artist or I don't do
my art for a living. I don't care if you are a
creative being. Honestly, if you relate to the
things that we talk about here, I am guessing like 9 out of 10
(00:21):
of you are very creative beings.And today I want to talk about
the new wave of creation and thenew wave of artists.
And how are we supposed to navigate this field that is now
centered around social media? And social media is how we have
visibility for our art and our creations.
(00:42):
And yeah, we're going to talk about it today.
We're going to talk about the nuances.
And then we're going to talk about the blockages around being
seen on social media because so many of us want to be seen for
what it is that we want to do inthe world and what we want to
create in the world. But we have blockages, we have
limiting beliefs, we have fear. So we're going to talk about
that. And then we're also going to
talk about the actual steps to sharing your art.
(01:02):
So let's drip down and dive in. It's a windy day.
We're recording outside, but I just feel more me under this
tree. So we're we're going to stay out
here. I'm Kayla Rose.
This is skinny dipping the podcast and who's ready to strip
down and dive in. This should be a fun one,
especially for those looking to follow their dreams.
But even if you're not, I feel like there's a special golden
(01:23):
nugget in here for you. What's up guys?
And welcome to skinny dipping summer.
I'm Kayla Rose, your host. If you are new here, welcome.
We love to talk about the mind, the body, the soul.
We love to have inquiry around what it means to be human, our
emotions, our relationship to the material world, our
(01:44):
relationship to others, and our art and the collective.
We love to talk about it all. But today we're talking about
how content has been, this new form of how we share our art.
And I have so many thoughts. So I just want to because I'm
(02:05):
trying to keep these episodes more like bite size under 30
minutes. If you haven't been able to
tell, let me know what you thinkabout that.
You know, I'm always open to your guys''s feedback.
And I heard you when you said you wanted the solo episode.
So here I am, here I am the soloepisodes, and I really have
poured so much into these episodes.
I hope you can feel it through the words in the season and all
(02:29):
the past episodes that you've heard so far.
I hope you can hear the intention that I put in to the
thinking, the journaling, the research all behind these
episodes because I really want to talk about these topics in a
nuanced way that feels really inintegrity with who I am now in
this current moment. Because I've been on this
journey for three years or more with you guys and I've changed
(02:54):
and I've grown and I've evolved so much.
I feel like the things that I used to talk about, I didn't
used to embody. And now sometimes I don't talk
about the things, but I'm embodying them and I'm living
them because I've been practicing what it means to live
an aligned and an integrity lifefor eight years now.
And it really took me this long to really learn and know and
(03:17):
love myself. Like, good things take time, and
your relationship to yourself isone of those things.
So I can't wait to talk about content and art and creativity
and visibility and being seen. And if you want to be seen, what
are the fears around it? How do we move through those
fears and what are the actionable steps for sharing our
art? Because there are so many of you
(03:40):
out there with a particular gift.
And I think that's the message that really came through when I
was thinking of this episode. It's like there are so many of
you out there with a gift for creating a gift for a certain
art form, whether that's speaking, writing, poetry,
painting, dancing, singing, music, playing an instrument.
(04:02):
Maybe it's a different form of art where you do like graphic
digital art. Or maybe it's just like the way
that you plan events is an art form to you.
Maybe it's the way that you cookfood is an art form to you and
you want to be seen for your craft because more visibility
means more opportunities and thedownloads that was coming
through from spirit and the universe and God was like, girl,
(04:23):
there are so many people in yourcommunity that have the
potential to be seen and to be visible in an incredibly
impactful way for the collective.
We need to help them so that their gifts can be seen when
confirmation coming in hot rightnow.
Let's take a big deep breath in together because I beautiful
(04:48):
because I think as we dive into these things, you're going to
feel your body begin to tense upat the thought of being seen
because being seen is scary. I work with a lot of people with
their podcasts and social media and being seen.
And the truth is your content can be amazing.
But if you have these subconscious fears, first of
all, you won't take the action towards your dreams.
And second of all, you, the energy that you're going to be
(05:09):
putting out isn't going to be magnetic to attracting people
because you're going to actuallybe subconsciously not wanting
people to see you because you don't want to be seen as trying
too hard or cringe or failing, or you don't want to be seen
doing too much or do you don't want to be seen, you know,
embarrassing yourself or you know, you don't, you don't want
to be seen period. So just notice as we begin to
(05:31):
talk about these things, just notice in your body if there's
any tension. And when tension arises, I want
you to just notice that part. Take a big long slow inhale,
holding your breath at the top, and a slow exhale throughout a
straw, and just imagine that part of your body softening.
(05:55):
And imagine that emotion, that feeling within you, that fear,
that resistance. Imagine it softening.
Hope you don't mind the wind today.
In the background, you're going to hear the birds, the chickens,
the wind, the horse if he startsrunning around.
But I just feel like recording out here is so me and so skinny
(06:16):
dipping. So let's drip down and dive in.
Also, while you're listening to this episode, if it's impacting
you in a positive way, I would love if you would share on
Instagram and tag me at Sundays KK at Skinny Dipping Diaries.
Also take a moment if you're notsubscribed or following us on
Apple Podcast or Spotify, just alittle a little follow so you
can see all the new episodes that come out.
(06:36):
OK, a new wave of creativity on social media.
Let's just dive into it. Lots of content creators are
just artists that want to be seen for what they do.
And if this is you, I understandthat it feels cringe to post
online and it also feels like itdilutes your art.
(06:56):
And I just want to offer you a lot of compassion in that
because I get it, because I feelthe same way sometimes.
I'm like how that's why I love podcasting and I love long form
content because it's like, how can I truly fit the words that I
want to say and the art that I want to create in this world?
How can I fit it into the 62nd video that is meant to capture
people's attention within the first 3 seconds?
(07:17):
Like it just dilutes the integrity of the art.
And I just want to say I have compassion for you.
And at the same time, like that is so real, that is so valid.
And there are so many people whoare creating content and
expressing their art in a way that feels an integrity with who
they are. And you can do that too.
Because the truth is this is theworld and the collective that we
(07:40):
are evolving into, where technology and social media has
a bigger grip on different partsof our lives.
And I think you should still continue to do art in the real
world in the face to face interaction with the world.
But I have to be so real with you that your art needs to be
seen by people because you are going to change people's lives
by making them feel not alone through your own expression in
(08:03):
order to reach the people that are going to feel seen by your
form of self-expression. We need to use social media as a
vehicle for visibility. And that's what it is.
It's supposed to draw people to you, your art, and your other
things outside of the social media Internet ether.
And I think a lot of artists have a really hard time
(08:25):
swallowing this pill and just realizing you got to get on the
fucking train. Because if you want to be seen,
social media is the world's greatest tool as a vehicle for
visibility, which is a vehicle for opportunities and people
seeing your art and you making money from your art.
If that's what you want, which you don't even have to want
that, honestly. Because honestly, I don't know
(08:48):
if I always recommend that. I feel like when you start doing
what you love for money, it doesalter the relationship with it
when it's actually like supporting your basic needs and
your basic income. But regardless, even if it's not
your full form of income supporting you, it still is so
cool to make money from your art, right?
It is that sort of like recognition and like a material
(09:12):
form of success and like a material recognition of like,
oh, people like this, people value this and you can totally
get paid from your art no matterwhat stage you're in.
So if you want that and that would boost your confidence,
definitely social media is also a tool for that.
And so many people want it, right?
They want to be seen, but they just don't either a know where
(09:35):
to begin or be they're self sabotaging and getting in their
way because they have a fear of being seen or fear of being
judged or a fear of being cringe.
So they just don't take the steps and they don't take the
action because they don't act actually want it.
They have that cognitive dissonance we talked about last
week in that episode where it's like they want something, but
(09:55):
their actions and behaviors aren't matching what they want.
And the truth is, you have to bereally fucking real with
yourself. Do you want this?
Do you want to be seen? Because for me, those were the
questions I had to ask myself. I was like, do I want to be seen
for what I do? And if I do, I need to get
really serious about it and I need to stay committed and
devoted and actually do the damnthing in post because nobody is
(10:19):
going to find you from your ideas in your notes app.
I'm going to be so real with you.
No one is going to find you fromyour ideas in your notes app if
they just sit there for months. The most successful people who
are creatives and who are seen for their creativity, I find
have a shortened window of time between the moment that they
(10:40):
come up with the idea, the moment they create the idea, and
the moment they launch the idea and share the idea with the
world. If you can shorten that time,
well, also respecting the integrity of the time that art
takes, if you can just kind of learn how to speed that up so
you're you're not rushing it. I never want you to rush it.
But let's be honest, you've had ideas in your notes out that you
(11:03):
wanted to do forever, projects that you wanted to do forever.
But why don't you do them? I want to be so real with you.
Why don't you do them? Crickets.
There is no reason except you'rejust getting in your own way and
honestly making excuses for yourself.
(11:24):
And I think if you were raised in a family that didn't make you
feel very confident in your gifts, this also is something to
undo and unweave. But the truth is that I don't
think you're going to find that confidence in therapy by talking
about your trauma and sitting onit.
(11:44):
Maybe that will help you, but I'm guessing it probably won't.
And it'll only keep you stuck inthat story.
And what you actually need is totake action because every time
that you take a small step, an actionable step, your confidence
grows and you realize, I can do it.
And you realize, oh, I am proud of myself.
So the truth is that I don't think the confidence comes from
(12:04):
sitting in therapy and staring at our wounds.
I think the confidence truly comes from taking actionable
steps and showing ourselves thatwe're willing to do what it
takes to create what we want to create.
And if you don't know where to begin, I would say begin with a
project. Project mindset is my favorite
thing in the world because it's how I've accomplished my entire
career is breaking it down into little projects like the the
(12:27):
platforms that I've gained just by like breaking things into
like one to three month projectsand focusing on that and
devoting an intentional practiceto that.
And whatever I'm creating, like the project mindset will
actually help you get things done a lot faster by being like,
OK, what am I focusing on this month?
What am I creating this month? And by doing that, you can
(12:51):
really focus on creating, being in it, and then being like, OK,
how do I launch and how do I share?
And this is where I see people get stuck because they're like,
no one's buying my art. Well, are you talking about your
art? Are you posting about it?
Are you sharing about it? Are you honestly
unapologetically just being like, hey, look at what I'm
creating? Like if you're not doing that,
(13:12):
you're not trying. And I think people are like, oh,
no one's seeing my stuff. And it's like, well, are you
actually putting yourself out there and trying?
Or are you just saying that you want it and not doing it?
So that's my big sis advice. Just being really real with you.
No bullshit, 'cause I feel like somebody needs to hear it.
How do we balance? I feel like what a lot of
(13:34):
artists are finding is that theymay be compromising their vision
or the length of their vision 'cause they have to fit it into
a certain time frame. Or maybe the delivery of the
vision to connect with short form content and the attention
spans of people. And it's like, how do we
navigate this while sharing content and navigating those
(13:54):
nuances while still being in integrity with our art?
So for example, I actually have this friend here on Maui, her
name's Tara Morelove, and she's coming into my field right now
to share with you guys because she is an incredible creative
and has written a book. And this is where she's pouring,
you know, her art into her poetry.
(14:17):
And then on Instagram, she'll like, I guess she'll meditate
and then she'll write down little like sound rights of
wisdom or poetry or symbolism onTwitter and or X or whatever and
then screenshot it and post it on Instagram.
So she's navigating feeding her soul through writing her poetry
(14:38):
and meditating and, you know, creating her book and this like
long form content while also at the same time using social media
as a vehicle for visibility. Because what she's doing is
she's dropping Nuggets and pieces of wisdom that align with
her poetry on X and Twitter, screenshotting it, posting on
(14:58):
Instagram. And what happens is when people
see your post, they resonate with it and they share it to
their story, they share it to a friend, they save it for later.
Shareability and save ability are the two biggest factors when
it comes to boosting the algorithm and when it comes to
being seen by more people who aren't your current audience.
(15:18):
And that's really what Instagramand TikTok uses to push your
content out to more people. If people are sharing it to
their stories, this is going to be a huge vehicle for visibility
for you to find new people who haven't seen you before.
So that's just an example of howare we supposed to honor our
integrity and our art while still being willing to kind of
(15:41):
play the game in order to be seen and have the opportunities
we want to have. And I think the best artists
respect their art enough to knowthat they maybe have to do
cringy things in order to be seen in the way that they want
to be seen. Because they understand that
they respect and love their art and what they're creating so
much that they're willing to be a little bit cringe for people
(16:02):
to see it. And for example, Addison Rae,
you know, like she's releasing her music.
She's really rebranding as this person that she wants to be as
this it pop girl. And the truth is, like she was
posting all of these cringey TikTok.
She was posting 5810 times a dayfor years.
Are you willing to put in that dedication?
Because she was, because she sawit as a gateway to being seen
(16:27):
and known for what she wanted. And that is genius.
And you're able to rebrand. No one is judging you for being
cringy, only the only people that are judging you for being
cringy. I'm not going to say nobody's
judging you for being cringy because that's not true.
The only people that are judgingyou for being cringy are the
people that aren't willing to actually follow their dreams and
do it themselves. Because nobody who actually puts
(16:48):
themselves in a position to be seen and judged and cringe and
embarrassed on social media would ever judge anybody else.
I would never, I would physically never judge anybody
else for doing anything on social media, no matter how
cringy I actually thought it wasin my head.
Like I would never physically belike that's so cringy or like
comment or like whatever. Like in my head, even if I think
(17:11):
I don't particularly like what they're doing, I still am like
go you like literally go you because you are doing the hard
thing, which is putting yourselfout there and being willing to
be judged. And those people are going to be
the ones that are successful versus the people that wait till
they're perfect to show up. The key is to show up messy.
(17:31):
The key is to show up cringe anddo it before you feel ready, and
that's how you fucking get started.
So let's talk about the different blockages in my
advice. So in energetics, we talk about
resistance really being this fear.
Resistance is really stuck fear in the body.
So that's why energetically, when you you keep putting off
(17:54):
that dream or you keep putting off that project or that art
piece or that poem or that time for you just to sit down and
explore your inner world. Because that's what artists need
to do is, you know, sometimes itjust comes to you and sometimes
you need to have a devoted practice daily so that the art
can show up. And I think we need both
depending on where you're at in your journey.
(18:15):
But we've really begin to noticethat this fear, the self
sabotage, this resistance is coming from different limiting
beliefs, different blockages, different fears.
So the first one is the fear of being seen.
And the fear of being seen playsinto all these other fears.
Because if you were seen but knew for sure you would be loved
and admired, would you think twice?
(18:39):
I think maybe because there is this like, fear around safety.
You know, when someone gets really famous and you know, they
fear for their safety. Like I think that could be a
subconscious fear blocking a lotof people.
So really acknowledging yourselfthat you are safe and that like
you're not going to get at a KimK level.
(18:59):
Like maybe you will, maybe you know, a couple of you will
listening to this, but also knowing like you are safe being
like a micro celebrity, you're like an influencer, like you are
safe. You're OK.
I think one of the biggest fearsthat I see people dealing with
is the fear of being judged, maybe being judged for being
(19:20):
embarrassing or cringe or whatever.
And what I have to say to this is I'm not going to sit here and
tell you that you'll never be judged or no one's ever going to
think you're going to be cringy.But the truth is, the first time
that somebody calls you cringe or embarrassing, it hurts, it
stinks, it doesn't feel good. You question yourself, you might
cry. I've been there, I know.
(19:42):
But let me tell you something. Each time it gets so much
easier. And when that money starts
rolling in, when those opportunities start rolling in,
you will not care that that one random user 5437 on the Internet
called you cringe. You just won't.
You won't care because you're going to have the opportunities
because you did what it took to be seen and put yourself out
(20:06):
there. And most people aren't willing
to do that. And just by you being willing to
do that, you're already increasing your chances of
success because the only way to fail is by never trying, right?
So when we look at that, it's like, OK.
I just look at all the people that like, might make fun of
other people and I'm like, you are not my people, you are not
(20:27):
my people. Because the people I surround
myself with love to see people trying.
And I think it's so embarrassingin our society that people think
that it's cringe or embarrassingto try because it's not.
It's actually the coolest thing that you can do is actually try
and put effort into your art, into your work and to your
purpose. That is the hottest thing about
(20:48):
you, babe, is your devotion to your life and the life that
you're creating. So with that being said, the
people that are going to be judging you and calling you
cringe, they're not your fuckingpeople.
And they may, I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's not
going to happen. Your first viral video, you
probably will have haters and that means you're doing
something right, babe. Diva, pick up your crown.
(21:09):
Who cares if they think you're cringe?
Who cares if they think you're embarrassing?
What if I told you that if you actually started posting four to
five times a week, like Tik Toksor Reels?
Tik Toks and Reels right now arejust like the best for
increasing visibility for audiences who are not your
current followers. But what if I told you if you
(21:30):
stay consistent for six months, you would start actually growing
a community, growing a following?
Because you have to give the algorithm a moment to like catch
your vibe, catch your drift and match you with the correct
audience. And I really do see that it
takes six months of consistency and devotion before an idea
blossoms. And I honestly think about the
moon, like the new moon and the full moon, it's six months apart
(21:52):
in the same sign. And when I look at the moon, I
do look at my projects and I just noticed that it always
lines up the ideation of a project to the launch and
finishing of it is like that sixmonth period.
And I do think that you need to commit for six months without
even like, complaining about your views, without even
complaining about your reach or your followers.
Like stay devoted and see what happens.
(22:14):
What if I told you that it was almost a guarantee that if you
were devoted for six months, that something would pop off?
Because most likely it will. If you're creating high quality
content with good lighting, great value, you have something
to say that's important and relatable or resonates with
people. Or maybe you're sharing art
(22:35):
where people feel seen and connected to you or just
absolutely impressed and inspired by you.
Like if you're creating good asscontent for six months and
you're staying consistent, something is guaranteed to pop
off. I've seen this with my podcast
girls. Like the girls that actually
stayed committed for six months,they've had multiple viral
videos. And virality doesn't always mean
community. But God damn, doesn't it feel
(22:56):
good to be seen by so many people when you've been working
so hard at social media and yourcontent and getting your work
noticed? So what if I told you that it
was almost a guarantee? Because it almost is.
So that's why we have to throw out that fear of being judged.
The other fear that comes up is this analysis paralysis.
It's this. I can't start until I know
(23:18):
everything, until it's perfect. Do you see all your favorite
people? Like all your favorite
podcasters, all your favorite authors, all your favorite
content creators, all your favorite artists, all your
favorite musicians? Have you seen them?
When they first started out, they were not who they were
today. They just weren't.
And you won't be either. And I really do believe that the
(23:41):
more that you put off starting just delays your success.
You're not going to be more successful from waiting.
I'm sorry. You're not going to be more
successful from taking another six months to think about it and
get ready. Because it's the people that
show up messy and the people that show up in perfect.
They are the ones that end up being seen.
A big fear that I also see is this like fear of flopping.
(24:03):
And let me tell you, somebody who's been in the social media
world for like 4 years now, 4-5 years now, I don't even know.
I've been making money off of itfor about five years now.
I've been doing social media forseven, but I didn't like start
getting paid until like 2 years in because things take fucking
time. But I think the fear of flopping
(24:24):
is a big one. Like, Oh my God, I'm going to
post a video and there's going to get no views.
So did every person when they first started, you know, And
also it's like with the flop era, like let me tell you, I've
been in social media for so long.
Oh, this is what I was going to say.
Thank you universe for dropping it back in.
But it's like, I've had so many eras where my views are popping
(24:45):
off, like the podcast is poppingoff, lots of money is coming in.
And then I've had flop eras where I'm like, everything I'm
doing isn't resonating. I don't know, the algorithm's
not liking it. Like I don't feel like my views
are good. And the truth is, like, I just
don't even let that affect me anymore because I see the wave.
I see how social media works. It picks you up and it drops you
down. And I understand that you have
(25:07):
to ride the wave out to have those high moments of success.
So I'm willing to go through theflop eras and keep evolving and
keep posting and keep sharing. Even if you know, I have 200,000
subscribers or followers on TikTok, you know, sometimes I
can get like 50 likes and I'm like, damn, she's flopping.
And then you know, there's another season that I'm getting
like 12 K on every single video.And the difference isn't me or
(25:31):
my content or my value or who I am.
Just the difference is the algorithm and just the wave of
social media and how it rise andhow it rides.
And you know, I'm OK with that. And I think the people that are
willing to be in a flop era and kind of like romanticize and be
like, if I'm in a flop era, thatmeans that my my rise era is
coming. Like just have fun with it.
(25:52):
It's not so fucking serious. Like it's really not so serious.
Just start sharing, OK, Actionable steps for sharing
your art. Let's get into it.
Look for creatives who are showing up in a way that you
resonate with. Look for creatives online in
your field or not in your field that are just showing their art
(26:13):
in a way that resonates with you.
And I think the best way to learn how to create content is
almost mimicking somebody else'scontent, not copyrighting it,
but mimicking it with your own spin, your own words, your own
value, but kind of mimicking maybe the style.
So you can learn how to edit, you can learn how to find good
lighting, good setups. You can learn, you know how to
create a really good hook in those first 3 seconds.
(26:36):
A hook being the first thing that you say on social media is
going to capture people's attention.
So say something really captivating and I think about it
like piano. I always talk about this with my
podcasts, Camp Girls, but in piano.
You know, I played piano all growing up and when you first
learned how to play piano, I waslike 5-6 years old.
You learn how to play other people's songs, other people's
(26:56):
music, and then eventually you just know how to play piano and
you can write your own songs. And it's kind of like that with
social media. Sometimes you kind of have to
just watch other people and learn and, and use your brain
and use your brain and be like, OK, I'm going to figure it out.
I think people get so frustratedwith technology, but it's like,
yeah, some people have a naturalknack for technology, but also a
(27:19):
lot of people don't, but they'rejust willing to push through and
be problem solvers. Because I think people come to
me with really basic questions about social media sometimes.
And I'm like, you could have Googled that or ChatGPT that,
you know, it's like, like you can figure it out on your own.
And I think people who are willing to be successful are the
people who see a problem and they're like, oh, I'm gonna
(27:39):
research it, figure it out and move through it.
Boom. I'm not gonna let this little
obstacle stop me. And I think that's just comes
from practicing being that type of person.
But I also think some people arejust more naturally that way.
So anyway, another actionable step is to just stop making
excuses and just go for it. The third actionable step is
having a project mindset. Yeah, I feel like project
(28:05):
mindsets are huge. We talked about that earlier,
but it's like breaking your nextthree months down into a project
and focusing on it is going to help you get more done than
trying to do a million things atonce.
Honing in on one thing and really going through the process
of ideation, creation and launching, because those are all
different stages, and I really do believe they're all different
(28:27):
parts of ourselves and we can't do them all at once.
So it's kind of nice for me personally to separate those
different stages of ideation, brainstorming.
And then we have creation, filming, editing, and then we
have launching, sharing, figuring out, positioning,
messaging, branding, how to get it out to people in the best way
(28:47):
possible. And yeah, I think in terms of
like actual social media analytics, I think like
shareability and saveability arehuge.
That's number one. So you want your content to be
really shareable. So something that somebody's
going to really resonate with, it really relates to them.
It holds a lot of value for them.
That's the number one thing I teach in my courses is like have
(29:09):
your content be value packed. When you have a lot of value,
like you are going to get sharesand then also watch time is
huge. Just making it entertaining and
interesting and thought provoking and good lighting,
good quality is all going to contribute to the second biggest
thing for having the algorithm push your content out there,
which is watch time. So making sure the first thing
(29:30):
that comes out of your mouth is a really captivating sentence.
It's a mic drop moment. We want that, right?
Because that's going to make people stay around for the rest
of the video and increase the watch time.
So those are my two biggest things when it comes to actually
creating content. What I would focus on if I were
you and just really making sure that your sound quality and your
video quality is good. Just like go ahead and like wipe
(29:51):
your camera. I'm like the girlies just need
to wipe their cameras because some of some of you guys are
filming with dirty screens and it's impacting the way that
TikTok or Instagram pushes out your content every time before
you film, just give your camera a good little wipe.
And the best place to find lighting, this is my life hack
is on the edge of shade. So you're in shade, but it's
light outside. This is why the car, I love the
(30:13):
filming in the car because it's such good lighting.
But at the edge of a window where it's like you're in the
shade, but the sun is right there, right on the other side
of you. If you're standing at the cusp
of shade, that is going to be the most beautiful, crisp,
amazing lighting. You're welcome.
So yeah, what do you guys think?I'm so curious.

(30:58):

poetry that you're working on. I want you to be able to share

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
