1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Little another log by nobody here is at the time

2
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the fire Pit with Matt Jonella. So I've,

3
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, have had some sense of reluctancy to

4
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: jump into the world of podcasts. My thought being like,

5
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: you know what, everybody's got one, it's a it's a

6
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: flooded market, and made me feel like, um, keep my

7
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: focus on the content that we've been creating now for

8
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: seven years, which has been more traditional video production, whether

9
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: those were three minute travel pieces, six minute travel pieces,

10
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: up to eleven minutes, and eventually growing in to a

11
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: half hour show. I always thought a podcast could be,

12
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, a byproduct of what we were doing out

13
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: on the road. And then in the middle of one night,

14
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: I had this epiphany and in large part probably inspired

15
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: by the fact that the world is grounded, we are quarantined,

16
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: and yet people still are interested listening to searching for

17
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: a quality narrative, and made me start thinking, you know what,

18
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: from a cost productions production standpoint, from a time efficiency

19
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: given where we are right now and where it's all going,

20
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: and also realizing that just because a lot of people

21
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: have a podcast doesn't mean I shouldn't have one. Also,

22
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: just because a lot of people sing and play music

23
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: doesn't mean if I'm a musician, I shouldn't jump in

24
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and try to create my voice, have my style in

25
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: my in a genre that works for me. Just because

26
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of winemakers doesn't mean if I have

27
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: a passion to make wine, I shouldn't jump in and

28
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: make my own label. I have a passion for telling stories.

29
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: As a production company, In the last seven years traveling

30
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: the world creating this more traditional content, we've had access

31
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: to some incredibly interesting and inspiring people, the likes of

32
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Drew Bledsoe, Ben Roethlisberger, Lucas Nelson, John Ashworth, Less Garland,

33
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Byron Scott, Ryan Sandberg, Reggie Sanders, Bruce Arians, Bill Core,

34
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: two time Olympic medalist Seth West Scott, and we've been

35
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: able to incorporate some of what they tell us into

36
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: the shows we do, but in thirty second minute, thirty second,

37
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: two and a half minute clips, when in reality we're

38
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: leaving some of the best stuff on the cutter room floor.

39
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: It was always a bit of a frustration for us.

40
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: And if we turn everything upside down and take those

41
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: stories and those narratives and put those out in podcast form,

42
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: getting hyper focused on one aspect or one story, their

43
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: best story, the type of story that would be told,

44
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: or in that fire pit atmosphere after a full day

45
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: of golf, grab a drink, a seat, settle in, and

46
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: everybody starts sharing, you know, the best they've got. It

47
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: started becoming really appealing and exciting. And then I started

48
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: making a list of all the best stories we've heard

49
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: along the way from the most interesting people, and I

50
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: couldn't stop. There was no end to this, to this list.

51
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: The possibility was the possibilities are literally endless. So here

52
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: we go. We're we're embarking on a new form of

53
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: telling stories. We're grabbing the most interesting people we've met,

54
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: the best stories we've heard. We're grabbing a seat at

55
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: a fire pit and a drink, and we're letting them stretch,

56
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: We're letting them go, We're giving them the time that

57
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: they need to tell their best stories. I hope you

58
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,200
