A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Today we're on the third of four talking about the "4 Cs" of relationships. In this episode I want to talk about compromise, from two perspectives. The first in about compromising your core values and how that reflects negatively on your character. Never compromise for the sake of follows or money, people will see through it. The second way is in compromising in relationships, or meeting in the middle. It's important to find a balance in any relationship, as swinging too far one way or the other will put the relationship in jeopardy. My encouragement to you, is to be solid and uncompromising in your core values, and to find the balance of compromise in your relationships with others. It will help you and your friends or family thrive, and will bring a healthy balance to your relationships, which are important for your support structure as a content creator. God bless!

Branching Out - Dad Log - Stardate 12172018 7:51

Today I want to chat about branching out. It's been a minute since I've created a Dad Log, so apologies for that. When you find yourself getting comfortable in the group of creators you've made friends with, it can be easy to support them and consistently go to them to create content together. And if you're at that point, it's important to continue to support them in those ways. But it's also important to seek new creators to support. It's an opportunity in two ways, the first being an opportunity to see how different creators do things. Inspiration for you to continue to innovate. But it's also an opportunity to meld communities and to strengthen the platform from a viewership standpoint. My encouragement for you, especially if you are comfortable in the group of creators you support, is to branch out. Find a new creator to support today! Make a new friend, you never know where it may take both of you! God bless!…

Motivation - Dad Log - Stardate 12042018 4:47

Today I wanted to try something different, we did the Dad Log live on our morning cast. And we talked about motivation. As people, it can be really hard some days to get out of bed, to pull your bootstraps up, and to be motivated to do whatever you need to do during the day. This might be going to school, going to work, or creating content. Whatever it is, motivation is usually derived from a core attribute or purpose. My encouragement for you, especially if you're struggling with motivation, is to focus on your core purpose. What drives you to do whatever it is you do day in and day out? Remember that purpose, and use it to drive yourself forward. God bless!…

Stream Coaching - Dad Log - 11192018 11:48

11:48

Today we're going to talk about the hot topic of the week, stream coaching. This has come up and been fought about on Twitter and even some of the biggest folks in streaming are weighing in on it. Current status? Remains to be seen. There are many variables that impact the success of a broadcaster, from game and platform selection, to personality, to technology expertise, and many other variables that are completely outside the control of streamers everywhere. My encouragement for you, is that if you are a broadcaster considering getting a stream coach, is to do your research and set expectations appropriately. Like any consultative service, track record is everything. Make sure that the expectations and outcomes of the engagement with a stream coach are defined and know that there are MANY free resources out there available as well. And know that stream coaching isn't a "magic bullet" for success. God bless!…

Dealing With Chargebacks - DadLog - Stardate11162018 7:58

Today I want to talk about dealing with chargebacks. As a streamer, you inevitably will end up at some point dealing with charged back tips. There are a few ways to combat those chargebacks though. The first is to make sure in Streamlabs that you don't allow anonymous tips. There is an option to require people who tip to login, which then puts a name with a tip. Another option is to not take tips at all. As a growing stream, you then have the power to ask people to share the stream in lieu of tipping. This can be a fantastic way to grow your channel. My encouragement for you, is to consider all your options regarding tips, turn on authenticated tips only, and when you do get a chargeback, reaching out to Paypal to ask the fees to be removed. Renee Reynosa put that little nugget on Twitter, and so far the chargebacks I've received using her advice, has help me combat at the very least the fees associated with the chargeback. God bless!…

The Hard Work - Dad Log - Stardate 11142018 7:54

7 years ago7:54

7:54

Today I want to talk about the hard work that no one sees when you become a content creator. The reality is that to succeed in content creation, you have to put in the time off screen. There are many things that go into being successful in content creation, like editing video, scheduling instagram posts, updating overlays, creating new ways to engage with your community. Many people think that streaming is just firing it up and playing video games all day. But you have to do the not fun things if you want to succeed and do the fun things. My encouragement for you, is to consider all the hard work you have to do on the backend if you want to succeed in content creation. Realize that just streaming isn't enough, and that you need to be prepared to put in the work if you want to see the results, just like any other job or endeavor. Being prepared and setting expectations is half the battle fam! God bless!…

Finding Your Purpsose - Dad Log - Stardate 11122018 4:53

7 years ago4:53

4:53

Today I want to chat about finding your purpose. I think as content creators we have a tendency to jump into creation almost like a pipe dream. We dream some day of being a huge star, and don't really realize how much work goes into it or that behind every creator there should be a purpose. We all got started creating content for a reason, whether it was for the love of sharing our video game experiences or to build community or to make money. My encouragement for you, if you are just getting started, thinking about getting started, or even a veteran content creator that is in a lull, find or re-find your purpose. Take a minute to step back, reflect on why you create content, and find that purpose. Then double down on it! God bless!…

Utilizing Good Ideas - Dad Log - Stardate 11092018 5:35

Today I want to talk about utilizing good ideas, regardless of where they come from. The saying goes, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". And every tech company out there, imitates their competitors in one way or another. Often times, companies like Apple, Microsoft and Amazon aren't the first to market with an idea. But that doesn't mean they aren't successful. As content creators, we should be looking for every opportunity to learn and grow, and that includes figuring out how to take other creators ideas and morph them into something meaningful for our channel. My encouragement for you, especially if you are a creator, is to get it out of your head that if someone does something well, that you aren't allowed to do it as well. It's a matter of taking that idea, and making it your own so it is received in a genuine way! God bless!…

Being Genuine - Dad Log - Stardate 11072018 4:39

7 years ago4:39

4:39

Today I want to talk about being genuine. We were chatting last night about the differences between Mixer and Twitch, and one of my folks commented about how Twitch felt "fake" to them. How many folks put on an act for the sake of making money, instead of focusing on community. I think as a content creator, one of the most important (and often overlooked) traits that a great creator has is the ability to be genuine. My encouragement for you, is to really focus on making sure you're as genuine as possible when it comes to content creation. Playing a persona and amping up natural traits is fine, but being someone you aren't or attempting to match someone else's style of delivery will likely fall flat. You do you, and let the rest fall into place. God bless!…

Fortnite Save the World - Dad Log - Stardate 11052018 Today I want to do a State of the Game address on Fortnite Save the World. This side of the Fortnite franchise doesn't get a whole lot of press, and I think it's mainly because it's not a free game. But if you're a fan of the looter shooter genre of games, this is a solid entry into this category. The Save the World side of Fortnite has you diving into the development of heroes on a quest based story mode, and developing your heroes to save humanity from impending doom. As with any looter shooter, there is materials gathering, crafting, quests and repeatable missions. My encouragement for you, if you are fan of the looter shooter genre, is to pick this game up. If you play the BR, you will earn v-bucks that can be used to buy skins and season passes. The expansion actually pays for itself if you intend to continue to play the franchise. God bless!…

Mixer Season 2 Thoughts - Dad Log - Stardate 11022018 15:10

7 years ago15:10

15:10

Today I want to share my thoughts on Mixer Season 2. This includes the updates that dropped like Skills, Sparks Patronage, and the ideas yet to come like Embers and the loyalty system. With Season 2 dropping yesterday, we got a bunch of technical upgrades like automatic bitrate switching, video debugging tools, and site stability improvements. They also released skills, in which viewers can spend sparks to put stickers, gifs, animations and games in the chat. I provide my overview here of all of the new items. My encouragement for you, is if you're a partner, is to go for the 5 million goal, hit those milestones and enjoy the sparks patronage program. But don't let that stop you from support non-partnered streamers just the same. If you are a non-partnered streamer, keep creating great content! Invest in your viewers, your community, and stay focused on making the best content you can. God bless!…

Depth vs Breadth - Dad Log - Stardate 10312018 7:36

7 years ago7:36

7:36

Today I want to chat about depth versus breadth in your community. As a content creator, one of the easiest metrics to measure is follower count. It's front and center everywhere, there are 25,000 different tools that track it, and it seems to be of maniacal focus for most creators. But something that doesn't get talked about often is the depth of your community. How deep are the relationships you've built with your followers. When gaining followers is slow, what do you focus on? My encouragement for you today, is to focus on the depth of your community if you're at a place where the breadth of your community is slower than normal. When you aren't focused on welcoming a ton of new people into your community, focus on building those relationships with the people that are there. God bless!…

Schedule That Works - Dad Log - Stardate 10292018 7:06

7 years ago7:06

7:06

Today I want to chat about creating a schedule that works for you. There are two types of schedules for people, schedules that work and schedules that don't. Creating a schedule that works means creating a schedule that you can maintain day after day, after week, after month, after year. It means you can be consistent in that schedule every week and your viewers can expect you to be live every week at that time. Consistency is what breeds growth, and will always be good for your channel, community and for yourself. My encouragement for you is to find a schedule that works for your life. Even if you can't be live at the same time every day of your schedule, setting a time each day you cast and sticking to it will yield the best results for YOU and for your community. So find a schedule that works for you, and stick with it! God bless!…

Marathon Not A Sprint - Dad Log - Stardate 10262018 4:45

7 years ago4:45

Today I want to chat about content creation and how it's a marathon, not a sprint. I've been doing consistent content creation for the last year, and as a "young" content creator, it can be easy to wonder when you'll see enough success to go full time. And the reality is, if you look at those that are doing full time content creation, the majority of them have been in the game for at least 3 years. It takes time to build a community that can support you as a full time creator. My encouragement for you, especially if you're a creator that has been in the game less than 12 months, is to remind yourself that you have a long way to go. That may be discouraging for some, but being able to do content creation full time in less than 12 months is like winning the lottery, it's one in a million. So take a breath, remind yourself to stay the course, and keep creating content. God bless!…
