WEBVTT - The Fire Pit with Matt Ginella Trailer

0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Little another log by nobody here is at the time

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the fire Pit with Matt Jonella. So I've,

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason, have had some sense of reluctancy to

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>jump into the world of podcasts. My thought being like,

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what, everybody's got one, it's a it's a

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:40.599
<v Speaker 1>flooded market, and made me feel like, um, keep my

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>focus on the content that we've been creating now for

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>seven years, which has been more traditional video production, whether

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>those were three minute travel pieces, six minute travel pieces,

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>up to eleven minutes, and eventually growing in to a

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>half hour show. I always thought a podcast could be,

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, a byproduct of what we were doing out

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>on the road. And then in the middle of one night,

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I had this epiphany and in large part probably inspired

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>by the fact that the world is grounded, we are quarantined,

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and yet people still are interested listening to searching for

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>a quality narrative, and made me start thinking, you know what,

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>from a cost productions production standpoint, from a time efficiency

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>given where we are right now and where it's all going,

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and also realizing that just because a lot of people

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>have a podcast doesn't mean I shouldn't have one. Also,

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>just because a lot of people sing and play music

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean if I'm a musician, I shouldn't jump in

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and try to create my voice, have my style in

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>my in a genre that works for me. Just because

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of winemakers doesn't mean if I have

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>a passion to make wine, I shouldn't jump in and

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>make my own label. I have a passion for telling stories.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>As a production company, In the last seven years traveling

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the world creating this more traditional content, we've had access

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>to some incredibly interesting and inspiring people, the likes of

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Drew Bledsoe, Ben Roethlisberger, Lucas Nelson, John Ashworth, Less Garland,

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Byron Scott, Ryan Sandberg, Reggie Sanders, Bruce Arians, Bill Core,

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>two time Olympic medalist Seth West Scott, and we've been

0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>able to incorporate some of what they tell us into

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>the shows we do, but in thirty second minute, thirty second,

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>two and a half minute clips, when in reality we're

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>leaving some of the best stuff on the cutter room floor.

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 1>It was always a bit of a frustration for us.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>And if we turn everything upside down and take those

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>stories and those narratives and put those out in podcast form,

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>getting hyper focused on one aspect or one story, their

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>best story, the type of story that would be told,

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>or in that fire pit atmosphere after a full day

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>of golf, grab a drink, a seat, settle in, and

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody starts sharing, you know, the best they've got. It

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>started becoming really appealing and exciting. And then I started

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>making a list of all the best stories we've heard

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>along the way from the most interesting people, and I

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>couldn't stop. There was no end to this, to this list.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>The possibility was the possibilities are literally endless. So here

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>we go. We're we're embarking on a new form of

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>telling stories. We're grabbing the most interesting people we've met,

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the best stories we've heard. We're grabbing a seat at

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a fire pit and a drink, and we're letting them stretch,

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>We're letting them go, We're giving them the time that

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>they need to tell their best stories. I hope you

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>like it as much as we are excited to deliver it.
