• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking about starting a podcast.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: That was a long time ago. It was eight years ago, George.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Eight years ago.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And I.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: We were working together over at the Radio Vermont group.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And you were the one that mocked up a logo
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: for me. The one that's right behind you. Right there.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Right there.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: God, dude.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And you said to me, how's this? And I said, stop.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Don't change a thing. That's it right there. You nailed it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And I've had it ever since, man.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I just absolutely love it. You came up with the red.

  Speaker 1: Literally everything, dude.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You had the name.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And then you kind of just let me have some
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: fun with it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You and Frankie both were so supportive of me starting this,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: getting the ball rolling.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You guys, you pushed me a couple of times, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I remember. And I remember ever so slightly, a few
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: times kind of tapping the brakes, not sure. And I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: remember you saying to me, come on, man, you got this.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You got this. The logo looks sharp. All you got
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to do is just start getting some content onto the mic.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And I really appreciate that, man. I'll never forget that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about both of you and Frankie.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, you always are so good at.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Talking with people.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: And you did some great things on the morning show
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: when we were at the one.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: And bringing in some community members and chatting with them
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: and stuff.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: But, you know, at the end of the day, it
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: was a music station, too. So you're always cutting to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the music. That's it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: You know, you had like your late night talk show
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: bits of like, all right, we got three minutes. Let's
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: hit the talking points and move on.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I never could get it done in three minutes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I was a podcaster, not a radio guy.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: There may have been a couple of times where Frankie
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: had to pop his head in and remind you that
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: you were on a music station.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Well, he would be on the other side of the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: glass going like this. Man, we had fun though. Those
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: were some, some great times. They were, there were some
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: great times. I met you. You were working for the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: radio Vermont group. Obviously, what were you hired to do
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: for radio? You were, Basically hired to take the audio
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of radio and make it visual.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I was working for a camera store, Green Mountain Camera,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: up in Waterbury and Burlington. And had an opportunity through
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: my connection with Mr. Eric Michaels to.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Carve out kind of a new marketing opportunity for the
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: radio group that could take advantage of some social media,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: online trends, and start introducing some video content.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And, yeah, it turned into a lot of different things.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: It was some kind of early podcast-type things where we
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: took some on-air stuff Packaged them up, put them online.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: And then we also just started doing some social media posts,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: video posts, and getting clients and sponsors involved and having
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: a lot of fun with that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You were basically bringing some radio commercials to life on
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the visual spectrum.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly, and I say this humbly, I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: don't know of any, uh, radio group that was doing that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I think we were, uh, we were pretty, uh, pretty
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: early to that, to that trend. And, um, I think
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: it worked out pretty well. I mean, we, we had, uh,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: at one point our digital, the online stream for the
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: radio stations was doing like video ad placements. So if
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: people were streaming on their phone, they'd have a little,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: you know, local spot pop up and play.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And, um, yeah, it was, it was pretty, you were
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: tying in the web and you were tying in, uh,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: social media, which was very much, very much on the upswing.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking what, uh, 10 years ago. Yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Something like that. 12 years ago. Wow, dude.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: We, we goofed around a lot. Um, We had some fun. And,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of course, Frankie, just a buffoon.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Really.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: That does sum him up pretty well.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You know, uh, where do, where do we start? Let's, let's,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: we should, first of all, I mean, we are going
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to be talking about you, what you're doing, um, how you're,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you're crafting your, your brand and what you want to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: do going forward. You, you live locally, right? In Plainfield. Um,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and you're going to be doing some more stuff with
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: me too, but we're going to get there. But let's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: show our viewers this morning a little bit of what
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you did. Should we start out with something light? Should
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: we do the Hyundai Hail Mary?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: A little blast from the past?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: A huge blast from the past. This was basically Mitchell J.,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Over at Mid-State Dodge and Hyundai. Yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: They were an early adopter to the digital marketing that
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: we were doing at the radio station. So they saw
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: the potential. And, yeah, they sponsored this program that you, me,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: and Frankie kind of developed called Riding.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Shotgun, where we were.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Test driving new cars, filming the whole thing, and getting
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: you and Frankie talking about them.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Putting them on Facebook and....
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Testimonial stuff. Yeah. And you as the tech guy, you
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: were basically getting these cars from MidState and then outfitting
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the inside of these cars with several cameras.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we used, what, three or four? I think we
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: used four GoPros. We had three on the inside, one
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: on the outside. And it was.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, get them all rolling, call action, and then say
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: see you later to you and Frankie. Let you drive
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: around for, I don't know, what, 30, 20 minutes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: 30 minutes?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, goof around.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Goof around, do whatever.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: We'd have a kind of basic outline of maybe where
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you were going to go, what you were going to do.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And that was it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Some donuts in the parking lot. But we just, we
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: had so much fun.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And you, I mean, let's be honest. You had fun
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: slicing and dicing.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Because I remember you coming in in the morning and saying, oh,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: my God, wait till you see this. I'm having so
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: much fun right now. But anyway, let's show. Should we
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: show one of them?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, just a little snippet of one.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Let me pull it up here. And, yeah, here we go.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this was, uh, set the stage for this. So one
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: more time, man.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, let's see.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: So this was, uh, riding shotgun episode with, uh, with
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: mid state Hyundai featuring, uh, uh, what was it? The
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: new Hyundai Tucson at the time. So, um, and this
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: had to have been this time of year, I guess.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was, it was football season. It was, um, and, uh,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Frankie was very excited about that, and you were kind
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: of just along for the ride.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. I still don't with anything to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: do with football. But here it is, just a quick
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: clip of what we did eight, nine years ago, something
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: like that. I'm going to take you up on your
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: offer to play football. You want to do that? Right now.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Mom says I can do anything. I gotta catch this football.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: I gotta catch it right now.

• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God, Jay. That was so much fun, dude.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: So much fun.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: And from, from what I, from what I recall, uh,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: not a whole lot of planning. I mean, I think
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: the gist of that shoot was, Hey, we got this
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: football stuff. Let's go play catch.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: And, and then just, you know, the three of us
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: in the moment, just coming up with fun stuff.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Great memories, man. What do you, what do you, um, you,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you worked for a, production, a video production company for
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: So after I left the radio group, I went to
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: a moving pictures division. Uh, and for a while we were, uh, uh,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: based right in Waterbury. Um, and then, you know, through, uh,
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: COVID kind of moved to working remotely and, um, just
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: working out of a home office. Um, And Christian Clark,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: the owner of Moving Pictures Division.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, him and I worked for the past almost nine years.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: And just recently transitioned to start my own company. But yeah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: him and I, we've had a lot of adventures over.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: The past nine years. Yeah, you have. Visual storytelling is,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I think... and you correct me if I'm wrong, probably, um,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the biggest thing that you hang your hat on.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Uh, storytelling through video is so powerful. It's so, I
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: could be very persuasive. It can be very emotional. It
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: can be, uh, it's one of the best ways to
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: get people to remember something. Um, And you can just
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: utilize those tools to share your message in a way
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: that can hit on those things you want. If you
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: want it to have an emotional impact, if you want
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: it to have humor to it, if you want it
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: to be really memorable in some way, it's a great
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: platform for that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, and you know this, but it's
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: like having a great story or storyline is one thing.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And I know you love the nonfiction. You're a nonfiction guy.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You love stuff that's real. But also having the creative mind,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: which you have as a photographer, knowing in your brain,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: in your eyes... The right lighting, the right time of day.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Is it raining? Is it not? I mean, I was
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: just talking this morning about driving in. Why are the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: colors on a day like today so vibrant?
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Well, rain makes for a lot of really great looking shots.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I can't tell you the number of times. It's a
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: fun thing to look out for when you're watching any
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: big movie of You know, just some random shot where
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: you got some folks walking across a big parking lot.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: And there's no evidence that it rained, but the parking
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: lot's wet. And it's often done just they'll hose it down.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: It just looks better.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: There's something about that. You get the reflections. You get
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: the textures. You get the, you know, the reflection of
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: the sky in there. And it just can bring a
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: real interesting look. And certainly for the colors on the
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: leaves right now, yeah.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: You get them.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And you've shot weddings before. I'm sure you've had to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: say to a bride, Oh no, no, no, no, no.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: This is actually great news that it's a little cloudy.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, totally.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, clouds are the big soft box in
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: the sky. They, they make, uh, make for some very
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: nice lighting. You know, we, uh, I've done a lot of, uh,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: you know, tourism type videos for showcasing different locations and, um,
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Quite often what you see in videos or even still
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: photography and pamphlets at the travel center or whatever, I
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: call them Chamber of Commerce photos where it's crystal clear
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: blue skies. You're taking it at high noon. And it's
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: got a look to it. It's a look we're all
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: used to seeing, but there isn't... uh there's something missing
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: you know it's a little generic it's a little plain
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: it's a little predictable but you know you wait to
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: you know what we like to call our golden hours
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: of the day um Around sunrise and sunset and the
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: quality of light just gets so much more interesting.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: You get longer shadows.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Contrast. You get all that kind of stuff.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Sure. You know, just the other day was out working
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: on my old 76 pickup. And, you know, Sherilyn just
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: yells out the window. Oh, my God, look at the sunset.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: And it was. it was kind of a, it was,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know what time of night it was, but
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it was, it was getting there. And there was something
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: about the, the sky just kind of lit up with these,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: these pink and orange hues. And I took a step
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: back and I looked at my, my truck and I'm like,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, you need to close the hood and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: grab a shot of that right now. You, you, you
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: kind of understand the, um, The sense of urgency of
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: hitting opportunities, moments, whether it's with your camera or whether
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: you're still camera or your video camera. You got to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: get it right now.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: For me, you know, all of this for me started
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: with photography. Sure.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: That was kind of my first in probably at, you know,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: about 12, 13 years old. My uncles got me. into
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: photography and, uh, film photography back then. Um, it's taught
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: me a lot about looking for the right light.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Taught me a lot about patience, taught me a lot
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: about planning, uh, to figure out, you know, what shot
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: do you want to get? What conditions do you want
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: it to be in? And, uh, that's all translated so
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: well over to video.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to you and I'm like, we got to
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: show this because this is almost a perfect example of this.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Set us up here on this.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: What are we looking at? This is the Stowe one?
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: So this is a little tourism piece we did for Stowe.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: And this was, you know.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: On.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: The logistics side, right? There is a lot of planning
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: that went into this to maximize... when we needed those
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: big scenics, uh, and what time of day we wanted
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: to shoot those versus when we were doing something that
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: could be when the lighting wasn't as good and, and
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: kind of balancing out that schedule to, uh, yeah, get
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: something that, that looks really nice.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Are you, are you flying a drone here? Yeah.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Do you love drone work?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: It's, it's a perspective you just can't really get any
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: other way. And, It's a great way of establishing a
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: sense of place and kind of putting you somewhere. It's interesting, right,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: that for a lot of drone stuff, you never have
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: that perspective, but you can also immediately recognize places.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: So it's like people look at this and they're like, oh, yeah,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: that's Stowe. That's the steeple in the middle of town.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I like using drone shots to kind of build, establish
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: that sense of place.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: And the fog is lifting or maybe it's a cloud,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: but you were probably like, I got to get up
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: into that cloud right now.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: So this is that early morning fog burning off, lifting
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: as the sun's coming up on a, we shot this
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: in late August.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: And yeah, just the perfect conditions.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And you must be like in a mindset of, please
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: don't talk to me right now. I got to move quickly.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I know I got it. There's all kinds of stuff
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: going on in my head right now. I'm setting this up.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I'm plugging this in. Just zip it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's, you know, I mean, for something like this,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: wide open spaces, the risk is a lot lower. So
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: you're really just focusing on, you know, capturing that best
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: moment you can find up there. But, you know, yeah, drones,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: you got to be safe.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: You got to be smart with them. You got to
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: pay attention, for sure.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: All right, let's show it. Here we go.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: How's it feel?
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: First day of the summer and it's calling for good weather.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I feel like, how's it feel?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: I got a feeling this will be the best one yet.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Look at that. Wow, this is incredible.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Wow, dude. Outstanding. Short, sweet.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Short, to the point.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: To the point.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: It's kind of funny.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: As we played that, I realized that's probably in the
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: nine years of working with Christian. I think that's only
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: the second time I've appeared on camera. I forgot that
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: that was... I play the role of the fly fishing
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: instructor in there, which is kind of just a way
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: to make that scene a little bit simpler. We had
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: a crew that hiked up to, was it Sterling Pond
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: up on Mansfield?
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Sterling Pond, yeah. And you hit Bingham Falls too.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we went to Bingham Falls. But yeah, we did
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: a little fishing up on Sterling Pond. And yeah, I
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: stepped in for that. But boy, I'd much prefer to
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: be behind the camera.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: What was, speaking of filling in roles as seconds or
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: as props or what's the word I'm thinking of here?
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Talent.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Talent, fill-ins, whatever it is. You came to Frankie and I,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and I had forgotten all about this. You said, hey, look,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Go Vermont is doing a van pool promotion. and I
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: need you guys to be part of this. And we're like,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: what are you, what are you talking about? What, what,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: what was that all about?
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: So this was, uh, boy, this, this was early on,
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: probably within my first year or two working with Christian. And, um,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: we were working with a place creative company up in
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Burlington on, on doing these promotional campaigns for, for, uh, uh,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: department of, uh, transportation.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: And it was this, this kind of commuting service that
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: they were trying to get off the ground.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it was a fully scripted piece.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: We had this great actor, um, that, that came in
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: to kind of play our lead, lead guy, uh, Wayne Tatrick, um, just, uh, awesome,
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: awesome guy. And, but we needed some, some, some fill-ins
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: for the background to, uh, help really round out all
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: these characters. And, and there was a couple characters that
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I pretty quickly identified as like, yeah, JD and Frankie
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: would do this perfectly.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: So I, I haven't seen this and we're going to,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: we're about to show it, but I haven't seen this
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: since we shot it. So I've forgotten probably 2018, 2018.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I don't, I've, this is all going to be coming
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: back to me. I haven't seen it since. So here
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, hello.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: I'm Ted Connors, workplace transportation expert from Vermont.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Let me guess.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Your commute is a money suck that beats the living
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: heck out of your vehicle. If only someone could wave
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: a magic wand, give you a new ride, and throw
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: in a gas card.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, and pay for all repairs, maintenance, and insurance, too.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Well, guess what? That's what we did! Introducing Vanpool by
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Enterprise Rideshare. The real vans are way bigger. Sure, we
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: all know carpooling's a good idea, but do you really
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: want to hobble to work in Carl's 76 AMC Pacer
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: that smells like corn chips and mothballs?
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I like corn chips.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Or would you rather get a ride on the SS
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: vanpool with Captain Rick at the helm?
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Judy does.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Here's how it works. First, you get five or more
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: people all going to and from the same places. You
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: pick drivers, schedules, the type of vehicle you want, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: for pennies on the dollar, these good people have got
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: a van. All for a monthly fee, which even covers
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: your gas. Forget about maintenance and repairs too. Can switching
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: to vanpool save you thousands.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Of dollars each year?
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Pretty much. Here, you want this money back?
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: And if you're worried about last minute schedule changes or accidents,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: our ride home benefit means we'll get you where you
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: need to go for free. And for all you CEO-type people,

• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God, dude.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I forgot. I forgot all about that. Uh, they had cool.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. That was great. That was so much fun.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Oh man.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: It's not often that, uh, you know, some of those
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: state agencies are willing to have.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: That much fun.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. They're a little stiff.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: They really, uh, let their hair down for that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. It was fun. You know, the thing is, and,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: and you know, this like, like you said, um, You've
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: got to put something in front of people that they remember,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: whether it's either through laughter or maybe shedding a tear.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: But they've got to remember. It's got to stick to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: the bones. There's so much going on today that is
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: slipping through the cracks. We're overstimulated. We're desensitized to so
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: much that's coming down the pipe, whether it's our phone,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: whether it's TV, wherever.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: You got to, if you're going to do something, you
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: got to make people remember it, Jay.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: And I think there's a lot of different ways of
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: doing that. And it's not, you know, the best laid
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: plans can still turn into something that no one's going
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: to remember.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: But I think that it's always the goal. It's always
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the North Star of when you're making something to just
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: think about like what, What are people going to take
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: away in this moment? What are people going to, what's
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: really going to land? What's going to, yeah, like you said,
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: kind of be sticky with them.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: You have this, your mind is such an incredible paintbrush.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I remember saying to you, yeah, but, and you say, no, no, no, no.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Just like it is. I want it just like it is.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I got this vision. Because, I mean, there were, you know,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I'm like, my God, nobody told me to do my
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: hair or wear a different shirt. And you were like, no,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: just I want it as is.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, one of the leading motivational factors for
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: me to go out on my own was there is a,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: There's a part of the process of working on a
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: smaller project where I'm coming up with an idea, I'm
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: directing and shooting and then editing and delivering that idea
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: and seeing it from start to finish that allows for
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: a lot of creative opportunities that can sometimes get lost
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: in the shuffle of having, uh, a big crew or
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: a big agency or.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Whatever it might be. Those, those all serve purposes.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: And certainly on a technical level, you get, um, you
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: can get far superior stuff, but on a kind of
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: docu style storytelling level, um, Boy, I find a lot
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: of value in if I'm the one sitting behind the
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: camera listening to an interview and already thinking about how
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going to edit that later on.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: It's nice in those situations where you don't have to
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: give up one of those steps. You can kind of
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: control all of that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: And you're not the... kind of guy that is like
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: wait stop start that all over again you really love
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: to capture authenticity in its raw form totally i love
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: that yeah yeah.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: I mean it's one thing if if it's a uh
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: you know if it's a scripted edited type thing where
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: you're trying to get an active performance you know it's
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: always nice to to give someone opportunity to try different
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: things in that but I mean, going back to some
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: of the stuff we did at the radio station, working
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: with radio guys on camera is fantastic because you guys are...
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: You're used to the risks of being live and what
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: that means. And so you never stumble to the point
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: where you're like, oh, can we cut and restart that?
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: It's just not in your brains, right?
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: So.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: that was actually really nice to edit in like those
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: riding shotgun things where I could just let you guys go.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: You'll always find a way to connect it, bring it
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: back around and tie it all together because you just
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: have that kind of live, uh, mentality going on.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I said to you, uh, let's, let's, let's
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: do a little, uh, transparent reveal here. I said to you, God, Jay, um,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I want to start this podcast, but I, I think
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I want it to be all audio because I'm a
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: radio guy. And that's what I'm used to is, you know,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: just the art of the imagination and incorporating cameras into,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and we did a little bit of that in the
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: radio station too. I just remember saying to you, God, Jay,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I freaking hate the camera, man. I just hate it.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: And how am I going to do this podcast with
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: a camera? And you said to me, ignore the camera
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: and just think of it as a fly on the wall.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Fly on the wall productions. And I'll never forget that.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: And you were the one that tried to help me
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: break that barrier between having a camera and not having
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: a camera. And there's just something really comfortable about not
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: having a camera.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: And you know what's funny about that, though, is that
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: you were the best at what we'd call breaking the
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: fourth wall of In some of those moments where we're driving,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: you know, doing the riding shotgun thing, we're driving around
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: and you're talking and you're not talking to the camera.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: You're talking to Frankie. Yeah. It just sounds like you're
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: an observer as the viewer.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: But then you would always find those moments where you
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: would turn to camera and look right down the barrel
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: and just say the best thing.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: And I would always find those moments to.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Like, cut out and snip and put in that just
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: kind of, yeah, just broke that fourth wall for the
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: viewer and just kind of, like, brought them into it.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And you were so good at that.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: And I always thought it was kind of funny that
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: you were both, like, you didn't like the idea of
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: the camera being there. But at the same point, you
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: used it to your advantage so well in so many
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: moments that, yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Tell me about your relationship with G-Stone Motors.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, G. Stone Motors and Stone CDJR down in Middlebury.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: It's a longtime client of Moving Pictures Division. And so
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Christian and I had done, you know, multiple ads for
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: them over the years. And they're an incredible family. It's
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: a family-owned dealership. They're on their third generation of being
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: family-owned and operated.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: And they really care about their community. They really want
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: to kind of lift their community up. They love to
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: feature other businesses in their ads to try to make
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: it this very kind of community-strong message to the point
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: where sometimes it felt like we'd have to remind them, like, hey,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: you guys still need to sell cars.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Sell.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Like, let's still make this an ad for you guys.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: But that's just who they were. They're just really great people.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: You don't get that in Detroit.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: No.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: You get that in small town New England.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: And for them, it's not about the vehicles. It's about
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: the people that work there. That's what keeps people coming back.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, we'd always kind of build our
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: ads around that idea.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Set this one up here. Tell us about what you did.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: This is, it's a little early in the season to
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: be looking at it, but it's still worth it. So
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: this is one of my favorite spots that we ever
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: produced for G-Stone. This is a holiday ad. The holiday
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: ads each year, they always really, really enjoyed having like
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: dedicated holiday ads. that would kind of break the mold
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: of really not being salesy at all. It was really
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: just conveying a sweet holiday message to the community. And
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: um this one particular year we had an idea of
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: of trying something new and through uh doing some some
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: planning and research we we just we found these things
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: that all kind of came together in this perfect creative
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: little idea and we found this actor that was out
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: of new hampshire that um does a Santa Claus thing,
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: and he was brilliant. We found a farm up in
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Willoughby that has reindeer and has this really cool vibe.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: And we came up with this idea of, you know,
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: what if we made an ad that was in line
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: with a lot of the other ads we've done where
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: it's like a customer testimonial of like, this is why
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: I buy my vehicle at G-Stone. But in this case,
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: the customer is someone we all know.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: All right. Here we go.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: I've been doing this a long time. Well, I'll tell you,
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: working the farm, it gets you in great shape for
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: the season. It is hard to get up in the
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: morning sometimes. But a lot of people believe in me.
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: And there's always work to be done on the farm.
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: When I decided to buy a truck, I went to
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: G-Stone Motors. First of all, they are nice.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: I checked.
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: Twice.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: They got me exactly what I wanted when I needed it.
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: And it came with all the bells and whistles. Those
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: heated seats, definitely a favorite feature of mine. I travel
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: halfway around the world to get my truck serviced.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: That says a lot.
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: You can buy a good truck anywhere. But finding a
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: team of people you can believe in, now that's something special.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Holy crap, man. 60 seconds of you talk about something
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: that you won't forget. Yeah. Outstanding.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: I like that spot a lot and enjoy the being
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: on that Yeah. And watching him feeding reindeer.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: As a, at the time, 33 year old, I had goosebumps.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: It's just like, yeah, this is incredible.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Damn fella.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: That was a really, really special shoot.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: If you're just joining us, Jay Austin is my guest
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: this morning. Filmmaker, director, Photographer, an incredibly creative mind. One
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: of the first people that I told that I was
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: going to start a podcast and you designed my logo.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: You gave me some great advice and you helped me,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: convinced me to bring the camera into podcasting and say,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: you're so, you know, I remember you saying to me,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: you're a little bit of a drama queen. You're very... Animated? Animated.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Is that the word? I think that was the word.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: You've got to have the camera. What are you hoping
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: to do right now with J. Austin visual... storytelling. What's
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the next chapter for you? What is it that you're
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: hoping to do this winter?
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Very fresh to launching my own company kind of within
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: the first few weeks here. And I think the goal
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: is to find clients that know the value of video,
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: have an interest in doing it, but they're maybe stuck
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: in a position where they don't have anyone internally that
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: can make them stuff.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: And they don't necessarily have a budget to dedicate to,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: you know, a full-blown creative agency to come in and
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: develop some really incredible stuff. So my hope is that
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of just a one-man band creative partner that
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: can come in and.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: Help share some of my creativity with them and, and
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: make some really cool content. Um, I think it's, you know,
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: a lot of it's advertising based still.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Um, sure.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: But even in advertising, there's still a lot of creative
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: things you could do with, you know, building a brand
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: identity and telling a brand story that, um, has a
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: lot of value and, um, Yeah.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: That's, that's kind of my goal is to, to be
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: able to do that.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Tell the story of Blair Stone.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: Blair is the third generation of the Stone family. Um, and, um,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: she is not an employee of the dealership, but she is,
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: she has become a spokesperson for the dealership and, We
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: started featuring her in a bunch of the G-Stone ads,
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: kind of building around this.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Idea of.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: She is two things. She's a community member. She works
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: at the hospital. But she's also a family member for
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: the G-Stone family. And so there's... she has kind of
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: a shared interest in both aspects of what G-Stone's all about.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: So we featured her in a series of five or
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: six ads over last year, and I think this next
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: one you got queued up was kind of one of
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: the last ones that we did with her that was
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: just kind of a.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Fun, kind of sentimental....
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: A little spot that allowed her to have a little
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: moment with her grandfather and her horse. And, yeah, it
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: was kind of a nice little story.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: How you got the lighting like that coming through the
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: barn is you've got to time this stuff out. You've
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: got to get it just right. And, man, that first
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: shot right there, you just nailed it, dude. beautiful let's
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: uh let's show it.
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: You can't fake trust with a 1200 pound animal you
• 46:42
  Speaker 7: can't force it it.
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: Has to be earned it's.
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: A mutual respect a partnership built over time so you
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: know you can rely on each other my grandfather Gardner
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: Stone taught me that trust is how you build a
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: family and a business and that's how we earn your
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: respect come join the family G-Stone Motors and Stone CDJR,
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: your trusted family-owned dealerships.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Wow, I just love.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: That, man.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a nice, sweet little 30-second message, right?
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: 30 seconds.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: It gives you kind of the warm, fuzzy feelings of,
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: you know, sure, you might even forget the fact that,
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: you know, they're selling vehicles at the end of the day,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: but really it's about... You know, the core message behind
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: that ad is trust.
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: And, you know, people want to trust in the process
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: when they're buying a vehicle.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Yep. They also want family.
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: And, you know, it's a simple little message, little metaphor
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: like that about building a relationship with a horse and
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: that whole thing.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: It just... Yeah. It's a nice way of sharing their message.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: There are... and I don't need to tell you this,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: you already know, there are so many incredible stories that
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: are right under our nose. Literally, on the other side
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: of that glass right there. And they pass in front
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: of me all day. Some of them are able to
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: sit and share just a barely scratching the surface, a
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: smidgen of their story on that couch right there. But
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: all I can do is have a conversation live and
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: share as much of that story as possible and paint
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: that picture. You bring it to an entirely different level,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: which is something that, you know, I'll find myself driving
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: down the street saying, oh, my God, Jay could do
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: a 15-minute mini doc on just this alone.
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Is that what you're hoping to do? You're hoping to
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: continue to sell stories?
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: I think certainly that docu-style kind of plays out through
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: all of my work. whether it be for advertising or
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: longer-form content.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: If there's a good story, I want to help tell it.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: You know, there's so many hard-working Vermonters.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: The farms, man, it's like I remember... When the news hit,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: I was covering it on Froggy. When, for the first
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: time ever, Vermont had broken the 1,000 dairy farm threshold.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: We were officially under 1,000 farms. Now it's somewhere, I think,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: John Rogers was in here, and I think he was
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: saying it's somewhere around 430 maybe statewide but these are
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: the types of stories that you're going after hard working
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Vermonters who are doing something not because they have to
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: but because they love what they do.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah and you know.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: One source of inspiration I find in some of this
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: storytelling content is actually Yeti Coolers.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: They have a film series called Yeti Presents and they
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: feature stories from all over the world. But they're just
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: these like little mini documentaries and they're done so well
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: and they feel nothing like an ad for a cooler
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: or a mug. Uh, but it's Yeti recognizing that there's
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: great stories to be told. They can be a part
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: of it.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, a lot of the stories have
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: some great product placement that doesn't feel forced, but it
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: just is, you know, some of the, my favorite ones
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: that I can think of are, um, there's one that's
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: over in Maine. That's, uh, uh, multi-generational, uh, lobster fishing
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: family and, uh, the female boat captain, um, out in
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: the water. And, you know, it's like, yeah, a Yeti
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: cooler on a lobster boat feels at home. It doesn't
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: feel forced at all.
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: And so you don't even pay attention to that. You're
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: just dialed into this story. But I think what's interesting
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: about it is that Yeti is giving it a platform
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: and a place for it to live in an audience. And, uh,
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: it allows it to be an, uh, economically viable story
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: to tell.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: You know, it doesn't have to, you know, live in
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: a film festival circuit or, or something like that beyond
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: a much bigger scale. It can, it can be used
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: as advertising essentially, or just, you know, shareable content.
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: Um, and I, I think that there's more opportunity to
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: do that. And I think that in our state and
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: in our region in new England, yep. there are a
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: lot of opportunities to do things like that. And so
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: it's a matter of finding the right companies that are
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: willing to, or see the value in putting their name
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: to that.
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: And say, these are the stories that we.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: Want to own and support and, you know, turn the
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: volume up on to, to kind of support their own message.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: You have to, you have to, you have to, Work
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: with someone who also gets it.
• 53:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: And if they don't get it like you do as
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: a creative mind, you have to be able to say,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: just trust me.
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Just trust me.
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: And leave it up to me. I got the vision,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: and you can make... You can execute that vision. You
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: can make it come to reality with... your editing, your music,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: your lighting, it all has to work. It all has
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: to come together.
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: Trust is obviously a big part of a company wanting
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: to tell a story like that.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: Because there's always the desire for that strong call to
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: action and intent behind any kind of piece they're going
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: to put money behind where they want to see some
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: kind of tick in the meter of like, okay, this
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: is working for us. Um, but you know, I think
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of, a lot of brands and businesses
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: around here that the awareness is the real value of
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: like having a name that people begin to trust more
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: and more and, and see more and more as really
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: being kind of woven into the fabric of a community by, by,
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: telling stories like this that, um, yeah, there's real value there.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: There's something that that's telling me, and maybe I'm, uh,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong that where I remember you made something that
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: really made you think twice about recycling. Um, but it's
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: just going way back to your work with, with Christian,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: but there was also, um, and stop me if this is,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: jogging something for you, but, um, you know, just making
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: you the call to action, making you think and rethink, um,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: things about your life and your, your daily habits, but also, um,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't it darn tough that you did some, some shooting.
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: We did some stuff with darn tough, actually. I mean,
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: specifically on recycling, um, do you remember there was a,
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: we did a piece for Casella.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what it is.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: That was like a, a little kind of, uh, family, uh,
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: history piece on the founder, Doug Casella. And it was
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: a really fascinating look at the company and their operations
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: and the founding of it and how it started as
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: just this kid out of high school with his pickup
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: truck going door to door and turned into what's one
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: of the probably top three or four largest.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: You know, waste companies in the country.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: And it was great to interact with the family members
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: and hear more of their story and learn more about it,
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: spend time at, you know, going to some of the
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: dumps and the landfills and walking around and kind of
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: just thinking about, like, you know, I'm part of this problem.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Like you can't ignore.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: It's like these, you know, going to a landfill that's
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: kind of in my own backyard and thinking about like,
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: you know, yeah, that wrapper that I threw away last
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: week is, is all part of this. And, um, yeah,
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: those things are, are really interesting. Some of those life
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: experiences where you get to take a peek behind the curtain, uh,
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: really can change your perspective on, on a lot of things.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: You know, um, I want to close out, uh, this
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: morning because yesterday, uh, I, I promised that I would
• 57:02
