  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 happened 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.
• 0:21
  So welcome to the Coop and let's start your day off in a
• 0:24
  fantastic way. Hey, everybody.
• 0:28
  Good morning. I apologize for the a little bit
• 0:31
  of erratic posting lately because we've been having
• 0:34
  technical difficulties on my end.
• 0:38
  Getting things to. Upload and I don't know why
• 0:40
  'cause they're going up on other platforms like YouTube and
• 0:45
  whatnot, but it for some reason it has not been able to get into
• 0:49
  my Spotify platform. So I apologize for my erratic
• 0:54
  posting. That being said, I just want to
• 0:58
  give you guys a little bit of an update.
• 1:01
  So I've been working pretty hard for the last 90 days, posting
• 1:07
  regularly on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.
• 1:11
  Same video everyday. Like I'll, I'll, I'll create a
• 1:14
  video and then I upload it to Facebook and Instagram.
• 1:18
  Well, actually I do it to Instagram and Facebook gets
• 1:21
  shared from Instagram. So it's, it's a little bit of an
• 1:23
  easier process. And then I upload to YouTube and
• 1:27
  I started this back in January and lo and behold, you know, my,
• 1:34
  the, the whole experiment was based around just 30 days of
• 1:37
  trying to get used to shooting video and be, be OK with it.
• 1:41
  Turns out I, I actually love editing myself.
• 1:44
  I love being creative with it. I didn't expect that.
• 1:48
  I expected myself to, you know, at least be OK shooting video.
• 1:52
  But I really turns out that I'm enjoying it.
• 1:55
  So I kept going past the 30 days, which was fun and
• 1:58
  continues to be fun. Looking at just all the pictures
• 2:01
  I take regularly and trying to figure out how to turn them into
• 2:05
  video content has been a big, huge push for my creativity.
• 2:09
  So super fun. So Fast forward, I decide, OK,
• 2:13
  I'm going to not stop at the 30 days, I'm going to keep going
• 2:16
  and I do. And so my YouTube channel picks
• 2:20
  up momentum and I've got, you know, a couple 100,000 views now
• 2:26
  overall on the channel, which is wonderful, especially it's only
• 2:29
  been like just about 90 days and a week ago, beginning of this
• 2:35
  week, that was the beginning of this week on one of my videos
• 2:39
  actually took off on Instagram. And it was all about the fact
• 2:44
  that I had a, the crows give me a little bead and that I
• 2:50
  videotaped it, put it up there, and I got like 2223 thousand
• 2:54
  views when I was so excited. So then the next day I put up
• 2:58
  one about the giant pileated woodpeckers that showed up here.
• 3:03
  They, they come often, but you just don't always get to see
• 3:06
  them. I know they're here because I
• 3:07
  can hear them, but I actually got to videotape them.
• 3:10
  And it was so cool because I was in the right place at the right
• 3:12
  time and I was hiding in a Bush, hiding behind everything.
• 3:15
  And I got to videotape them and I put it up just because I was
• 3:20
  so excited to share it. And that darn thing took off
• 3:24
  like a rocket. And I couldn't understand what
• 3:27
  was going on. And I just was like, OK, OK,
• 3:30
  this is exciting. This is exciting.
• 3:32
  And I, I was watching the numbers and I was going crazy
• 3:35
  the whole time trying to figure out like, what, what did I do?
• 3:38
  How did I do this? How did this even happen?
• 3:40
  And before you know it, as of last night, that video has
• 3:44
  141,000 views, which is incredible.
• 3:48
  So of course, you know, I can't wait days and days I have to
• 3:51
  post again. So I post one the next video
• 3:54
  which is about what's inside the tiny egg and it got like 300 and
• 3:58
  something. And I was like, wow, OK, this is
• 4:02
  so crazy. Now again, time of day you post
• 4:06
  what you're posting. There are so many variables to
• 4:09
  keep track of. And honestly, you just never
• 4:12
  seem to know where those variables are going to show up.
• 4:15
  But Needless to say, I was. I got myself down a rabbit hole
• 4:19
  trying to figure it out so I could replicate it and do it
• 4:22
  again and do it again. And then I had to stop myself
• 4:25
  and go, wait what? What am I doing?
• 4:27
  The idea is not to go ahead and say I need to have all my videos
• 4:32
  go to over 100,000 views or whatever it is.
• 4:35
  The outcome was to reach people, and I had to remind myself of
• 4:40
  that. I had to remind myself.
• 4:42
  The outcome was to connect with people that I might not be able
• 4:45
  to connect with otherwise because I'm getting such
• 4:47
  messages from people that are so appreciative of me sharing
• 4:51
  little tiny things that means something to me.
• 4:54
  So it means something to them and how they are learning how to
• 4:58
  appreciate things. This one, this particular woman,
• 5:02
  she sent me a message and she sent me multiple messages since
• 5:05
  I started doing this. And there's just, we have a
• 5:08
  connection and I've never met her and I am just blown away by
• 5:13
  how these little things can help people.
• 5:15
  So here I am saying to myself, why am I getting wrapped up in
• 5:19
  this again? What is the reason?
• 5:20
  And then I'm going down that rabbit hole of, of thinking, Oh
• 5:24
  my gosh, I have to do this. And I stopped and I paused and I
• 5:27
  said, no, I don't. What I have to do is keep
• 5:30
  connecting with people because that was the original intent.
• 5:33
  And as soon as I did that, all the stress melted away.
• 5:35
  And I'm like, whatever happens with it happens.
• 5:37
  That's always been the intent. So it's a great reminder to
• 5:41
  always revisit your original intent to make sure you're in
• 5:45
  line with it, because that's what's so important.
• 5:48
  All right, my friends, I hope my technical difficulties are over
• 5:51
  and I will see you tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
• 5:55
  Bye.
