• 0:01
  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happen to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good afternoon from the chicken coop because as
• 0:30
  you know, it's very dark early in the morning and we are
• 0:33
  currently trying to make sure we get back out with the girls
• 0:36
  doing this rather than doing it in the dark, dark morning.
• 0:39
  So today we are talking about technology and actually while I
• 0:44
  am doing this, I actually have a new piece of equipment that is a
• 0:48
  little DJI Osmo 3 and it is sitting over on the ground
• 0:52
  recording the girls and recording me walking back and
• 0:55
  forth while I'm doing this podcast because I'm trying to
• 0:59
  learn this darn thing. And let me tell you, it is one
• 1:01
  of the most wonderful little pieces of equipment yet.
• 1:05
  It is just, you know, technology is always challenging and, and
• 1:10
  at least it is for me, not for everybody.
• 1:11
  But you get a piece of equipment and you want to work with it.
• 1:14
  You want to be able to use that equipment to the fullest of
• 1:18
  extent that you can. And you want to just jump into
• 1:21
  it and do it. And here I am trying to learn
• 1:25
  it, trying to set it up, trying to work with it.
• 1:27
  And you think you have it and then you go to use it and boom,
• 1:30
  something happens. And then you have the best
• 1:32
  conditions and boom, something happens and you can't make it
• 1:35
  work. This is the story of what's
• 1:38
  happening with this little piece of equipment.
• 1:39
  Now, is it easy to use? Yes.
• 1:41
  It is not complicated. I can get a video every single
• 1:44
  time. But part of the challenge is
• 1:46
  there are the nuances of zooming in and out.
• 1:48
  There are the nuances of making sure that I'm, you know, being
• 1:52
  able to keep the gimbal because it follows you if you want it to
• 1:56
  or just put it straight so that it's not like looking up at the
• 1:59
  sky or looking down at the dirt or following things around.
• 2:02
  And I'm getting used to doing all of this because we are
• 2:05
  getting ready to launch YouTube channel soon and I have to have
• 2:08
  video of the farm and what we're doing and all the good stuff
• 2:12
  that it relates to. And filming the girls is
• 2:15
  obviously a very important thing for me because you know that
• 2:19
  they're such a big part of my mindset and how I like strive to
• 2:24
  have that peace and tranquility by being out in the chicken coop
• 2:27
  and hanging around with them when they're back here.
• 2:30
  And right now it's late afternoon, so they're coming
• 2:33
  back. It's actually almost 5:00 here
• 2:36
  and they're coming back now. Half of them are in the garden,
• 2:39
  half of them are under the big tree by the pond, and a few of
• 2:44
  them are in the run area. So I got the little camera set
• 2:49
  up and I'm attempting to film with it.
• 2:51
  And I was thinking about how this is so one of those things
• 2:55
  for me that's so challenging because I love learning new
• 2:59
  stuff. But when it comes to technology,
• 3:01
  there are times when I resist it because I think, oh, that's so
• 3:04
  frustrating. It's so annoying.
• 3:06
  Why can't it just work? Why doesn't it just work the
• 3:08
  right way? I thought I had it set up and
• 3:10
  then I get frustrated. And then I just want to
• 3:11
  sometimes Chuck it out the window because it's frustrating
• 3:16
  and I should be able to grasp it, right?
• 3:17
  I'm an intelligent person. I should be able to grasp it.
• 3:20
  Well, here's the thing, until you do something for a certain
• 3:22
  number of hours, you're never going to be great at it.
• 3:25
  You just have to accept that fact.
• 3:26
  And me reminding myself of that is necessary.
• 3:31
  And it's not just with this technology, it's other things
• 3:34
  that you're doing too. It's like you have to remind
• 3:36
  yourself of the fact that it's not going to be perfect right
• 3:39
  out of the gate. It's not going to be something
• 3:41
  that is easy right out of the gate.
• 3:44
  I have to figure out how it works, what it does, what it's
• 3:47
  doing, and all of those good little tidbits to make it so
• 3:51
  that it will come out the right way.
• 3:52
  But it all takes time. So there are going to be a
• 3:55
  number of videos that I shoot that I throw out.
• 3:59
  Tragic, right? Well, it's funny because I'm
• 4:03
  very used to doing this with photography, photographing
• 4:06
  things. I I put pictures up for
• 4:08
  everybody to see and people will go crazy and say, Oh my gosh,
• 4:12
  these pictures are so gorgeous. And they're, they're like print
• 4:15
  quality and all of this stuff. And yeah, but I've been doing it
• 4:19
  for years. That skill was put into my hands
• 4:23
  very early on. My very first camera was given
• 4:26
  to me when I was 8. And I used to have to have print
• 4:29
  pictures and wait for them to come back and, and half of them
• 4:33
  were terrible and the other half just sucked.
• 4:36
  And I had to get used to it. And I used to shoot over and
• 4:39
  over and over and over before I even got remotely good.
• 4:42
  And today, as I was doing this and setting this up, I reminded
• 4:45
  myself of that, about how how long did it take you before you
• 4:48
  were decent with a camera? And as I get ready to get a new
• 4:52
  camera, I sit there and say to myself, boy, I'm going to have
• 4:56
  to learn a new technology because I'm switching platforms.
• 4:59
  I'm changing over from a Canon camera to a Nikon camera.
• 5:04
  And you know, somebody who I trust and an advisor in the
• 5:08
  visual world had said to me really need to switch over to a
• 5:11
  Nikon. So I'm working on that.
• 5:14
  And the interesting part of it is I'm going to have to learn a
• 5:16
  new technology. And that's why I didn't pull the
• 5:19
  trigger because I'm used to the cannons.
• 5:21
  I'm used to what I know. But in when someone insists that
• 5:24
  something else is great, well, you know, that's one of the
• 5:27
  things you have to do. You just you take it on and you
• 5:30
  know that that's what you're going to do.
• 5:31
  You're going to learn something new.
• 5:33
  So that's what I'm doing with the gimbal as I sit here and
• 5:36
  look at it as it shut itself off right now.
• 5:38
  And I'm like, why did it shut itself off?
• 5:40
  So here we are back to learning. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:44
  you have a very learning day too.
• 5:46
  And you know, in the quest of I had put the challenge out there,
• 5:49
  learn something new every month. This is mine.
• 5:52
  Learn the gimbal this month. Learn the gimbal.
• 5:55
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:58
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
