Podcast Schedule for The Week

          I know I'm not Chris and he is off for the week from the blog, he's been recording stuff for the next couple of weeks for the podcast. I believe one of them is going to be for the Sunday he returns from his trip in Quebec and already noted it when he's away and he's not yet talked about it as of yet but maybe next week he will be ready. I am not 100% sure it is for the week he's gone for 4 - 5 days and he needs to record that one too but I believe it is coming on his very busy schedule. 

        This is the schedule as follows:

Monday: Minus the blog @ 11 am there is no other schedule and the YouTube re-uploads as Chris has been scheduling older episodes. Newer content will not be up.

Tuesday: Both preview clips for both Entertainment Man Podcast & The CBOTW Show + whatever episodes he has as I do not know what is schedule and up as episodes are rapidly being re-uploaded. 

Wednesday: Motivational Wednesday videos in the morning all 3 in the morning, 8 am, 10 am & 12 pm then Entertainment Man Podcast @ 1 pm EST & The CBOTW Show @ 6 pm EST.

Thursday: Shorts and previews of the upcoming episode of The CBOTW Show on Friday.

Friday: 6 pm EST, The CBOTW Show

       This is the schedule and only the beginning of the week, today and tomorrow so basically the rest is our normal schedule. Blogs will remain @ 11 am EST everyday between. Hope you guys enjoy all these videos and you never know Chris may post more videos and there is something I want to talk about this week but Chris has been walking about with his camera filming himself. I will speak to you tomorrow for a 2nd part.

Weekly Updates for 03-28-2025

         Quite a busy week again as we worked on the podcasts and getting everything ready for this afternoon and Sunday afternoon as well. Today's The CBOTW Show is actually Audio ONLY, due to some of the subject matter but you can find it under the podcasts tab on our YouTube Channel so either way you guys all get content one way or another.  Once he is finished with Entertainment Man Podcast and getting shorts done he is working on Ghostwriter later on today and this weekend to assure he's ready for next Thursday's recording session. 

       I know it gets tricky when it comes to shorts and I know he has it all under control when it comes to it. I wonder how he juggles two episodes of The CBOTW Show & the weekly episode of Entertainment Man Podcast. Chris is amazing, I can say that. He works so hard on content regularly and always working on something and I am so proud of how the team has come with it's success. Enjoy your weekend and any questions about this do not hesitate to contact us in the contact page, social media and even the comments. We encourage the comments and I will chat again at the end of next week.

Starting To Figure out Super Market Simulator!

             After such a atrocious run at Super Market Simulator, I think I figured out the issue I am having  which is I am taking too many loans out all at once. That was the biggest issues I had was spending too much on the game and not able to pay for groceries and the bills and eventually upgrading the store to make it larger then it is. I think I need to take smaller steps when building in the store. I need to slow down a bit. I think I want to expand way too fast and I've become a little clumsy. 

           However if I need to get a loan, just get one not two because it is very confusing when it comes to the loans and it is my own fault honestly. As usual I rush through things and I need to slow down and think and I've done an episode of the podcast about this topic a long time ago on Entertainment Man Podcast. Maybe I should take my own advice and slow down and think things through before I do them on the video game huh? Anyways that is today's blog post and as always, I will talk to you guys tomorrow for another blog post.

Chris

Been Feeling Burnt Out!

              I have been feeling burnt lately with the podcasts. I have been busy with podcasts and the blogs. Maybe I need to step away from blogs for a while. Let Sara take over but anyways you will have content from me for now unless something really needs to be done. However it is the burn out feeling right now. I am doing too much all at once. So much to do in such a short time too.  This is why you have to prioritize everything and I need to realize this too at some point. 

            Remember what I talked about with Time-Management, it is so important and something I need to work on personally. I get overwhelmed with everything but I know what needs to be done first then so forth and on. However it's not the prep work it's more I'm burnt out from Entertainment Man Podcast even thought it's only a weekly show but I think it's something else that is bothering me with the podcast that I cannot pinpoint right now. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Getting the Hang of Our Scheduling!

           Slowly but surely getting use to the schedule and trying to get use to the schedule and as we ease off the re-upload schedule we will officially BE fully all NEW content moving forward and excited to be completing all the re-uploads and very fast. I thought it would of taken months for us to have our library restocked with past episodes and shorts. Then we will be our way to new content and getting back to what we originally set out to do.

         Scheduling has been a little off the deep end and our channel has been flooded with new content constantly but you guys are enjoying every minute and you will notice newer content in between the old and you can tell the difference most of the time as my hair is a lot more greyer now then before and trust me it's because I do a lot for you guys and the hours I spend on content is incredible. We're getting there and better with our schedule and going to have to make sure I have everything recorded for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and home on Sunday as I will be away on those days in May I will be away but it's all about scheduling things correctly and getting it done on time for you guys. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Weekly Updates for 03-21-2025

           It has been an interesting week for us. First the Discord server going up in smoke cause of constant trolls and us dismantling the community on there. However Chris, Kevin, Larry, Billy and I been busy and yes Billy is been active with the community as our Head of Moderation especially on our group and YouTube Channel so welcome back to the team as he's been involved in the past and always good to see staff return after a brief break.

          Chris & Larry have recorded more episodes of The CBOTW Show both for YouTube & Audio ONLY platforms. Also Chris is posting something up today for The CBOTW Show at some point as a bonus episode and making up for the loss time when he was sick a month ago. So lots of content coming your way from the podcast department and also I believe Chris is going to stream on the Facebook Fan Page this weekend, tomorrow at some point so stay tuned for that. Have a wonderful weekend and week ahead and I will be back at the end of next week.

 

Sara

No More Discord, How Will We Record Episodes?

             Discord is OFFICIALLY gone. I am tired of the trolling and all the new members coming in with the same name as someone else and makes me very suspicious it is the same person using a VPN, so we are DONE with Discord, I do not care anymore. I just want our community to be drama free and it seems someone is ALWAYS causing problems. I go AWAL for a week and a half to have problems happening on the server so know what Sara and I have deleted our accounts. It is always drama, drama, drama. Anyways sorry to be a sour puss.... Just wanted to express how I am feeling. We still have both the Facebook Fan Page & Facebook Group (which is rarely spoken about), X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok and of course YouTube! 

           So how are we recording? We are using Riverside for recording episodes unless the guest is having issues with the platform but will make sure it works down the road as right now I haven't had any other option for recording at this point and Riverside is cool and I really love it and I have set it up for both Meetings and Recording episodes so that is really a cool part of the platform and we will see how it goes since now I have a better sense of how the platform works. Anyways that is the post for today, have a great weekend and as always talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

Getting Ready for Thursday and Friday!

            This Thursday, tomorrow (Friday), Larry and I will be recording more Ghostwriter series episodes and going to try and aim for 20 - 25 minutes for the most part. We continue to move forward with the series and excited to keep on going with this series and the future series that I am planning on both Video & Audio ONLY! Big stuff are on the horizon for The CBOTW Show. We're making some big moves and cannot wait to share all the episodes we record because we are recording in batch, both Larry and I & Bob and I as well. 

           So we will have a ton of stuff going on towards the second half of the year, lots of recording and busy busy here in the studio. Either way, excited stuff coming up for the podcasts since we have two shows currently active in our Media Network/Company. I can't talk about a lot about it right now but in due time there will be something coming out, don't you worry. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Plans now that the website work done?

            What is the plan now that the website is completed what is the plans now? Well work on Ghostwriter episodes and get Corner Gas episodes watched, notes taken and it has been on my list for the longest time now. This is the opportunity to work on these things and really get things started for the podcasts and really get the numbers up with The CBOTW Show. However I realized this I have one episode that never aired whatsoever and I have no idea why it never got posted so end of the year in December I will be putting it up and already have it scheduled for December 3rd, 2025. I have to remember that The CBOTW Show should be coming out at 6 pm EST not 1 pm EST. I will make a note of it and do a reel explaining it.

           Also on my list is to get Entertainment Man Podcast episodes created, when I say that write brand new episodes and not just Entertainment Man but The CBOTW Show being worked on but that will come later once I get on a roll with getting things ready. So that is the plan and it will be adjusted if it needs to but basically the things I want to work on and yes maybe I will be more active with the Discord Server, not maybe I will be more active as there has been issues, I just wanna make sure there is no more issues. Anyways that is what is next for us and I am excited for what's next and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Halfway there! [Big Update]

           So you probably want a more of an explanation on what has been released and obviously it was Entertainment Man Podcast page is now back up and running after just a week and a couple of days it is fully fixed and running. This is the halfway mark of our website fixes as the provider we had isn't reliable anymore and we are moving on from them and doing our players a little better powered by Spotify. Now you're gonna ask me what about "Everything About Reality TV Podcast" which what got this network started back in 2015, almost 10 years ago. Well the players will remain as they are. We do not want to upload to Spotify and having to update the entire page again so if Archives for the podcast goes down then so be it but hopefully it's back up quickly.

         This is the halfway marker of fixing the pages. The CBOTW Show is the next project and I plan to recode and fix the entire page tomorrow and that should be the completion of fixing the players. I trust Spotify and we have a good relationship with the platform staff as they have been very helpful with some issues we have had in the past so we thank them for the help and support as we transitioned to this platform. Also this week, I will be starting to transition Entertainment Man Podcast's RSS Feed and by the end of the week we should be officially off Castbox by the end of the week. I will not update all platforms as there is so many the podcast is on but I am sure it will be rediscovered quickly and with this change it will be permanent change no more moving around anymore. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Weekly Updates [03-14-2025]

         It has been an interesting week for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media but lots of big things on the horizon for us. The interview he was on this week on Nick's Podcast "The Infinite Abilities Podcast" we will be on the lookout for the episode coming out. There is another interview Chris was on he is waiting for news when it is going up on all the platforms. Between his appearances, he's actually added Moderators to our Discord Server which you can find on the main page of www.ChrisBOnTheWeb.com under Discord logo by clicking the Discord Logo. If you have an account. 

        Also he's been working on the website "Entertainment Man Podcast" & "The CBOTW Show" pages and getting it back online as the players have been finicky lately. I do not have any idea what will happen to "Everything About Reality TV" in our archives page. There is no ETA when both of our current podcast pages will be returning but he's working on it don't worry! I am always on Twitter @SaraTheCOO, Facebook Fan Page www.facebook.com/ChrisBOnTheWeb and our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/VSfAaarR He is recording today for this weekend's episode. Not much on the list this weekend but he is planning to work on Ghostwriter this weekend and start of next week working on Corner Gas Finally and hopefully get recording at the start of April or even sooner. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and will be back at the end of the next week.

 

Sara

Getting it Done!

            As you know we are on the move with completing some of the difficult projects behind the scenes. You probably know I have been frustrated with the provider that had our players on the pages that are now down for maintenance and hopefully up by Sunday at least Entertainment Man Podcast for now. I will be needed to add the video to when the podcast went to video but all in due time. As I continue to replace the players on the website, I will update both. 

           I know The CBOTW Show has been not the best with the issues with video wise and Larry and I have corrected the problems that we have been having lately. Hopefully this is the end of all the problems that we are having the lighting issues and apparently the OBS/Audacity Issue is at bay for now but knock on wood the issues do not continue. However we're getting er done as the saying goes! Slowly but surely this will be done and we hope by end of the weekend we can be finished fixing the entire on going issue since last year. I wish we did the switch at the end of the season would of been plenty of time for the updates. Anyways that is the blog post for today, have a great weekend, Sara will be doing her weekly updates tomorrow and I will talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

Slow and Steady Wins The Race!

             I know not everything on our new schedule will be starting till next week but like the saying goes and it's the title of today's blog, Slow and Steady wins the race and it is so true. We have come so far for a company that has been around for 10 + years and I know haters/trolls doubt us but let them! We don't care what, like the reel I did on social media, "never give up on what you love doing." Especially if it is your passion whether you earn revenue from your content or it's just a hobby, keep on going.  

             Start slow with your quantity of content and I have said this in the past, Quality over quantity always! Once you get the hang of it then increase. Something I wish I would of given myself with "Everything About Reality TV Podcast" back in 2015 - 2020. However I am not dwelling on the past, I am looking into the future and boy the future is indeed looking bright as I have a lot in the back of my mind with what's coming up for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and I will talk about that possibly this week but that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Breaking Free From Self-Doubt: How to Conquer Imposter Syndrome and Own Your Success

Image via Pexels

Even the most capable individuals can struggle with feeling like they don’t belong. Imposter syndrome creates persistent self-doubt, making accomplishments feel like luck rather than earned success. It can hold people back from pursuing opportunities, speaking up, or fully embracing their achievements. The good news is that these feelings are not a reflection of actual ability but rather a pattern of thinking that can be changed. By recognizing common signs – such as fear of being exposed as a fraud, downplaying success, or overworking to compensate for perceived inadequacy – you can begin taking steps to shift your mindset and build confidence in your abilities.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome with Help from Social Media

Social media often showcases a polished version of others’ lives, which can intensify feelings of imposter syndrome by making you question your own achievements. This curated ‘highlight reel’ can lead to unfair comparisons and diminish self-esteem, particularly if you belong to marginalized groups. To counteract these effects, it’s important to manage your social media use by setting time limits and curating your feed to include content that boosts your confidence. Additionally, focusing on real-life relationships and achievements can help ground your self-worth in reality rather than in the digital world.

Boosting Your Confidence by Embracing Your True Potential

Returning to school can be a transformative experience, significantly enhancing your confidence by broadening your skill set and opening new career paths. Taking advantage of the best online MBA programs offers the flexibility to learn at your own pace, allowing you to balance other commitments effectively. This journey not only deepens your understanding of business and management but also sharpens essential skills like leadership and self-awareness.

Facing Your Fear of Failure for Personal Growth

Fear of failure can often trigger feelings of imposter syndrome, where you might doubt your achievements and feel like a fraud. This fear is typically rooted in the belief that your abilities are fixed, leading to a constant urge to either prove yourself or conceal your perceived shortcomings. However, by embracing a growth mindset, you can start viewing failures not as final verdicts on your capabilities but as opportunities for learning and development.

Leveraging Positive Affirmations

To effectively tackle imposter syndrome, it’s essential to replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations and recognize your achievements. By consciously acknowledging your skills, you can begin to dismantle the distorted beliefs that fuel feelings of inadequacy. For example, if you catch yourself thinking, “I’m not good enough,” counter this with a specific affirmation like, “I have successfully completed challenging projects in the past.” This practice not only helps rewire your brain towards a more positive outlook but also reinforces your self-worth.

Building Resilience Through Meditation

Establishing a regular meditation practice can significantly bolster your resilience and emotional stability. By engaging in mindfulness exercises, you cultivate the ability to confront feelings of self-doubt with honesty and self-compassion, rather than being overwhelmed by them. This approach not only steers you clear of toxic positivity but also promotes a balanced path to personal growth. Techniques like loving-kindness meditation encourage a gentler self-view, reducing the harsh self-criticism often linked to imposter syndrome.

Aligning Your Goals and Core Values

Understanding the importance of aligning your goals with your personal values is essential for fostering meaningful motivation. When your objectives resonate with your core beliefs, they become more than mere tasks; they reflect what truly matters to you. This alignment taps into intrinsic motivators, which are more powerful and sustainable than external rewards. By anchoring your goals to your values, you not only enhance your motivation but also build resilience, making it easier to overcome challenges and stay focused on what genuinely enriches your life.

Celebrating the Small Wins

Recognizing and celebrating small victories helps build confidence and reinforces a sense of progress. Each achievement, no matter how minor, serves as proof of growth and capability, gradually shifting focus from perceived shortcomings to strengths. This positive reinforcement creates momentum, making it easier to stay motivated and embrace long-term change.

Self-doubt doesn’t define your worth or abilities, and overcoming imposter syndrome starts with changing how you talk to yourself. Acknowledging achievements, challenging negative thoughts, and embracing growth rather than perfection can help reshape the way you see yourself. Confidence isn’t about eliminating uncertainty – it’s about moving forward despite it. When you recognize your value and own your accomplishments, you can step fully into your potential without hesitation.

Weekly Updates [03-06-2025]

                 Another week gone and so much has changed this week. Chris had re-added the Founders page which was in our trash section for a while but he has decided to put it back up on the website and I do not know why he removed it but glad he made the decision to bring it back. 5th Anniversary is written and I believe he has recorded it and not sure if there video recorded or not. We will see on Sunday at 1 pm EST. 

           Chris hopefully will be working on Ghostwriter and Corner Gas this weekend in-between him being at the rink. I know he said he might be taking today, tomorrow and Sunday off but sounds like he will be taking breaks for an hour or so between the games. Anyways he's actually finished the uploading process on YouTube and should be done by the end, well he's not told me anything but I am guessing it won't be too long from now what I am suspecting. 

          If he does video for Entertainment Man Podcast it will be for two Special episodes, the 5th anniversary on Sunday and the 300th Episode sometime in May as well. I believe that is everything for updates, enjoy your weekend and will speak to you all at the end of next week.

 

Sara, COO (Chief Operating Officer)

Tech Work was worked on this morning!

           This morning, Larry and I are working on the green screen and video side of things today to assure we are going to have it working for now less then 2 weeks from now. Which everything is working very nicely in the setup so we can indeed move forward with video The CBOTW Show as Entertainment Man Podcast does not do video and totally unsure if it will return to video actually in the future. Haven't really thought about it honestly. I actually am questioning the 5th anniversary on video and I have the tech figured out for it. 

          Anyways we have it all figured out and moving forward no more issues with lights as these are bright LED's and should do the job for the Green screen and we have a good quality podcast for the video side of things. So we are good and we will be recording in less then 2 weeks on another episode of Ghostwriter to continue on posting episodes and usually once a month we record something. Anyways that is the post for today, have a great weekend and talk to you on Monday!

Chris

Trying out The Sims and The Sims 2 Tomorrow!

                I went ahead and bought The Sims and The Sims 2 to round out all the games as I already own 3 and 4 already. So Larry and I probably will be playing it in the afternoon after our recording sessions. I will have a double review next Monday for you guys what I thought of it and if it was worth getting. yes we are talking back in the late 90's and early 2000's when these two games released.

              I have peaked at it a tiny bit but not too much as I want Larry to show me the ropes in the game. I am not sure how to navigate in the game so I am excited for him and I to play and see the difference between 1, 2, 3 and 4 and how it's evolved over the years. So that is the post for today, little shorter then normal but I just wanted to put it out there that I got the two games and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Entertainment Man Podcast 5th Anniversary!

              As you know Entertainment Man Podcast is turning 5 years old this weekend on Saturday. Now I have not spoken about it whatsoever and it is my own fault and to be honest I am not sure what the plan is. I am having a hard time coming up with ideas. Plus I already have prior commitments this weekend to even think about a live show this weekend to celebrate the 5th anniversary but maybe the 10th if the podcast gets to that milestone.

             Anyways, I am trying to come up with some ideas what to talk about. It is really difficult to do something from the heart but I am trying my hardest to get ideas in my head so I can actually do the episode for this weekend. Now premiere wise, I may need to schedule it for later and the entire audio only as well because I may be at the hockey rink near 3 pm Sunday afternoon. Yes I said Premiere. For the first time in months, I am actually going to be doing a video version of Entertainment Man Podcast and first time I've shown my face on the podcast in a long time. 

               However after that will be back to Audio ONLY after that as old episodes continue to air till Late April and I will address it eventually when it is going to be complete and we can get back to normal NEW content as a community and we can put the past behind us and move on. Back to 5th anniversary, I will be trying my best to actually make it a lengthy episode hopefully 40 - 45 minute episode so I can really celebrate the 5th anniversary. I should be proud of this milestone as I've worked hard over the years building the channel. Anyways that is the episode for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Got a lot done this weekend and more work being done!

             Back on the weekend, I worked my butt off with the content getting things finished. I will not say if I am finished with the editing but I got a lot of things finished and done with ChrisBOnTheWeb but there is still a ton to do and get completed. I know what I need to get done this week and the podcast with Larry needs to be worked on and finished and ready for Thursday as it's show day once again. It never ends for him and I.

            It is all about priorities what needs to be done first and so on and so forth. I am getting better with staying on track but it is work in progress each and every day. I have learned to book days off when I need em and this weekend is kind of a test on the time off I need as I have already scheduled commitment with the family as my niece and nephew have their hockey tournament. I am on a podcast for an interview this weekend that's been rebooked a few times due to illness and I will let you guys know when it is up to listen to. Anyways I am excited for this week, the interview on a podcast as a guest and also recording with Larry and of course the 5th anniversary but I will talk about that tomorrow on the blog and always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris
