I Explain Our New Legacy Service and Why I Chose It

Welcome to five Minutes with Grey Hair Dave.

He has gray hair and he has a gray beard and he also wears glasses like the guy in the artwork.

Oh, and the guy in the artwork is better looking.

Now, tariff free.

Here is Grey Hair Dave.

Yes, folks, that was elevenlabs IO.

That's right, elevenlabs IO.

That spelled the whole world.

The whole world, the whole word.

E, L, E, V, E, N, L, A, B, S, I, O.

So how are you?

Sorry it's been so long since I've been here.

I have been busy.

You will not believe what me and AI have been doing.

So let's jump, jump right into it.

It's fall here in the US in Florida.

It's just fine.

We've actually got some cooling weather which has been great to not be in the high 90s every day.

Been great.

I've actually had to wear some long sleeve shirts to work in the morning because of the breeze.

It's been wonderful, wonderful.

I hope all is well with you.

Sorry I haven't been here.

I have been working diligently on the new project and on this platform here.

Five minutes of Gray Hair Dave is kind of taking a back seat and I apologize for that.

That's not fair to you guys.

Now one of the things that we've been doing is forming the corp, the company, the llc, which I already have an LLC with Gray Hair Productions.

So I'm working on adding this to it through SunBiz and coming up with the, the right things and the right steps to do what I need to be doing.

I think I already told you that I, through Claude Claude co work, to be honest, have come up with a game plan on steps to get going and things to do on certain days and, and everything that needs to be done in a specific timeline, which has been very, very helpful.

But unfortunately it has consumed me.

So what I've been doing for the last couple of days is working on changing my website instead of focusing on podcasting and video podcasting for this new company, this new venture.

And with some, I'll be honest with you, I took a couple of days last week to just decide.

I did some walking around, I did some heavy duty thinking, I did some pros and cons.

And what I've decided to do is to go with the legacy portion of the business I've decided that that is twofold.

One, the best, it's the best thing for what people need.

They always say if you want to have a good business or a thriving business, find a need and solve that problem.

Well, there are companies out there who do what I want to do.

There are.

And unfortunately for other people, they are the add on, they're the if we have time, projects for them.

I'm focusing on just legacy right now.

I've added in there that I still will do podcasting for you or I will, you know, with you and I will do video casting, you know, for YouTube and whatever.

But one of the cool things that we're doing with this is if you buy the top package, you get not only four and a half hours of me and video, you get a, a legacy page on the website to where anybody that who knows the website that you give that to them, they can go in and listen and watch and share with whoever they want.

It's a really, really, really great idea.

I think that it's perfect and that's one of the reasons I'm rebuilding the website.

Now I have been with Ionos and I have never been happy with the site that I built.

Really have not.

It's.

It's okay.

It's a placeholder.

I knew it was a placeholder when I build it.

Don't get me wrong, I knew it was a placeholder.

I was not going to ever make that the business website.

So through Claude and the new company I'm going through, which is wix and the reason I went with Wix is twofold.

They have a something called web space to where I can give everybody this page because it's not going to take more than a gig or two for the video and the audio to sit there and I can have as many as I want.

Also they have a better, in my mind a better booking page or booking process for this so that I can either go with a my Apple Calendar or I can go with a Google Calendar.

I can go with their calendar, they'll send me notifications and it gives me the option to have people have a 20 minute conversation with me to see if this is the right package for them or which package is going to be right for them or do they need the big package.

Maybe the middle package is best.

So that's a lot of what I've been playing with.

Now I asked Claude yesterday, actually I didn't ask.

Claude told me what they were going to do when we built this to do list.

It's actually Called a launch.

A launch plan.

It gave me, I let it go to go to town with it.

Tell me what you think I should be doing.

I know how to start a business, but I didn't know how to do all this online in today's world.

So it gave me all these tasks for me to do, for us to do together, and for it to do alone with my review.

So today it came up with a client contract and it said right off the bat, make sure you run this by a lawyer.

Which makes sense.

I mean, he told me, Claude told me, I am not a lawyer.

Verify all this is okay with a lawyer.

That's okay.

And I'm also got to talk to my bank about payments and all that fun stuff, which is coming up.

But we're pushing for December to be live.

Granted, it's only the 10th, but I ran into some problems today.

Excuse the barking in the background.

I'm not going to edit it out today, but I just wanted to let you know where we were at with this and, and what's going on and why I haven't been here and my apologies.

Please accept my apologies.

So things are moving along now.

I'm going to go to, I'm thinking bi weekly on this podcast.

I don't know, I don't want to guarantee that.

I'd like to stay at weekly and I don't want it to just be an update about gray hair, voices and.

Or just clot.

Now, I'll be honest with you.

Claude has been very, very helpful in everything I've done.

I've shown it the edits I've done on the webpage, send it over to it.

It looks at it says, well, I would change this, this and this.

One of the advantages of doing it with an AI is that it's going to, as I build it, make it SEO appropriate to where it's easier to be found.

I'm not having to go back in and go, go through it and say they have.

Well, you need to add this word and this word here and that word.

That's all these keywords and everything else, they're already there.

If I use part of it as a script Baker, yes, I have.

And here's the hard part.

I think you'll probably understand this, the about you page.

I want to have to tell people about me, why I'm doing this, what it's about, who it's for, and I'm the person who likes asking somebody else.

Tell me about yourself.

Tell me what's going on in your life.

Tell me this or tell me that I'm not the person that usually gets asked this.

When people ask this of me, I usually turn it around rather quickly.

You know, I may talk about what I do with podcasting, I may talk about what I do with editing and audio and video editing, and then I turn it back around to them.

That's the way it should be for me.

It's how I live my life.

And I think that that's okay, which is one of the reasons that I do this.

And I may use part of this trans.

Use a transcript from this for my About Me page.

But I want you to know what's going on.

Also.

One of the tasks I had to do was do a 10 minute recording on the Gray Hair Legacy recorder that I told you that it built for me.

Claude built.

Well, I tried it and I got an, I got a fault, I got an error message, I couldn't turn the mic on.

And it gives you all these choices.

And I went with, I started out with my, my SM7B, then I went to my, my lav mic, tried all different kinds of things and it wasn't working.

So I said, hey, this isn't working.

It told me two different things.

He said, let me look at what's going on.

And it found a fault of its own, fixed that and said, oh yeah, by the way, use Chrome, because I was using it on Safari because I run Max.

So for that I, I did it.

And I, after the revision, I also have to run it through Netlify because it's a web page of my own.

It's a, it's a owned web page.

I own the webpage, but for this recorder.

But it worked really well.

The only problem I saw with it, it was a little bit low, A little bit.

The compression was a little low and the EQ was a little deep, which is fine for the first test on it.

It went great.

It really, really did.

So that in itself has paid.

It has paid for itself in my mind because now I.

Next time I do this because the recording I had, it was okay, but it was a little bit of rambling and, and I'm going to record next time on the Legacy recorder and then I'll download it into Logic Pro and then I'll edit it and then I'll put it onto the website.

So that's, that's in the future.

Now I want to ask you something.

You ever thought about doing a podcast yourself?

Putting one out there?

You know, things you have a hobby, you love, you love to talk about it.

You love golf, tennis, quilting, knitting, crocheting, gardening, you know, classic cars, whatever.

And you know a lot about them.

And you want to talk that you love talking about them.

Let's.

Let's start a podcast for you.

Go togray hair productions dot com.

Leave me a message and I'll get back in touch with you, and we'll set up a time where we can talk about this, and I can help you through it and help you get started.

If you want to do a YouTube page about it, I can help you with that, too.

Also, folks, if you know somebody who doesn't know what a podcast is, do me a favor.

Take them by the hand, have them pull out their phone and show them where the app is.

Show them the different types of genres that are available.

Use 5 minutes with gray hair Dave as the example.

Show them how to do it, how to.

How to find me, how to subscribe, how to follow, how to listen.

I'd appreciate that.

So, again, my apologies for being a couple weeks late on this, but you all have a great day, and if you're out and about this weekend, do me a favor.

You see somebody who looks like they're having a bad day, or if you are thinking about giving somebody grief, stop, look at yourself for a second and say, is it that important?

Say, hi, how are you?

Thank you for being here, or whatever the circumstances, do that for me.

I'd appreciate it.

So until next time.

I will talk to you soon.

Bye.
