Preparing for my Trip out of Province!

           Between working on everything else, getting everything ready for tomorrow's massive recording, it's all hands on deck as this will be our last recording session till June at some point. So I will have more time to work on both Corner Gas for June recording session as Larry and I will be slowing down in the summer on recording sessions but not only that but getting things recorded, edited and scheduled for posting while I am away in Quebec for 4 days with my parents and other family members as well. 

          I go quick with blogs and will be easy to pump out posts on the website. Next thing is to record episode for the Sunday, shorts ETC all done. I will make sure everything is set up to Tuesday after I get back that Sunday. So after this week and I finish up editing Ghostwriter, I will be preparing all of next week on the upcoming holiday away as I need it honestly. I think I will get through it all next week in a timely fashion and have it scheduled. Not sure how but the website version will not be updated till that Monday (the day after) I return from the trip. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

I've taken on more in my role of COO

                      You may all know that I have taken on more as Chief Operating Officer then ever, I am working side by side with Kevin our Advisor and Moderator in our community in helping suggesting moderators as I see fit. That is only if we really to add mods to the community. We are a bit stingy with who we mod now and that's OK, we want to make sure we pick the right people.

                     Also I have been feeling off with the Community Director role and it was under my power, I terminated the role and don't worry Chris gave me the green light on the decisions and he is proud of me for taking on more in my role as COO of the company. I am all for change and so is Chris as it's been a rough last 6 months almost since I took over the Chief Operating Officer role as it was empty for two months. Our team now are working closer with each other and as Chris would always say "teamwork makes the dream work" and we are truly a shining example how hard we all work hard within this company. I will chat with you on Friday for the end of the week updates.

Weekly Updates [04-25-2025]

                  I am not sure what the plan is but we are planning to keep weekly updates for now. I am not sure what is going on but he wants to keep updates publicly. I think it is a different ideas he has he wants to explore the options between these updates and the newsletter but for the time being we will continue to create these on Fridays. I have a funny feeling he has a plan with both. I think we can do a bit more details with the weekly updates honestly. I will talk more about that as I have more updates.

             Moving along with the YouTube progress, we are getting there and constantly working on it to get it all finished up. As you know we are now a week out from when we finished uploading the older episodes of the podcast and now focused on new content. Also Chris has been working on Ghostwriter for next week's massive recording sessions as the dynamic duo are back together for an overnight. There is nothing else to report but we are making moves, he will be talking more about the coaching next week on Monday to start getting the clients through the blog and the following weekend we will do also a video as well. We have so many video ideas. Tuesday, I will be working on a blog post as a bonus and already been cleared with the boss as well. Anyways, Have a great weekend, enjoy this weather if it is nice out for you and speak to you all Tuesday.

 

Sara, Chief Operating Officer

We're taking a different approach!

            Things haven't been panning out as we wanted to and I have made a executive decision with Chris's OK with it and we have actually terminated the Community Director role. So this means the team dynamics have changed a tad bit. We have someone who is familiar with our company and is a long time friend of Boss Man's from high school. We welcome Billy back as our Program Director and he oversees all the programs on our network. So welcome back!

             This means we are not planning to do anymore hiring but always room to add mods here and there especially on our YouTube Channel. We will need to start adding some and it is part of my duties to find some. This means a major turn around for us and change is very crucial for success. With Boss Man in the helm, we know we are going to be a successful team. I will speak to you tomorrow morning for the end of the week updates.

Projects To Be Completed!

               There are some projects that has been put to the side and some that still need to be completed and here is the list:

1) Getting the old shorts re-uploaded- We hope to have it done by the fall at the most as I am trying to post the old ones 4 - 5 times on Sundays and Fridays which are our more freer schedule for content. 

2) Newsletter- We are trying to come up with the best way to create the sign up and a pop up to remind you guys to join our newsletter. It's been a while since I created a pop-up but that was only if you right click on the website. It is work in progress.

3) Is to label all episodes with the season and episode numbers- I realize it is not all labeled on the episodes and something that's been ticking me off seeing it from my phone on iTunes particularly. 

            Really it's not a lot to do but still things that are on our list of things to complete and we will get it done don't you worry. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Busy Day For Us!

             I have a two podcasts that I was on and was interviewed one went up at 8 am EST as I was on Talks with Dr. Shafer and had a great talk about my journey and especially autism and recent news in the media about it but you have to tune into it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV7OoCVHRAM I know a little early for you but it'll be there and we will promote it again if we need to.  I know cause I have been up since 3 am slept 2 - 3 hours top and I am probably feeling it now unless I over slept but I doubt it. Then shorts for tomorrow's The CBOTW Show goes up @ 9 am, then this blog @ 11 am as usual, then 12 pm I was Invisable Condition with Jeff Pearson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIIWrsa5ZfM e360tv, Facebook 

           Then we break for about an hour and more shorts/reels go out for you guys at 2 pm EST, then we get a bit of a gap till 7 pm EST for our final reel/short for tomorrow's episode. However will be recording motivational videos for tomorrow and I may slip in a 4th. Also will be working on Ghostwriter as time is ticking and I need to finish Into The Comics & start To The Light. Still a busy, busy day, hope to get out for an hour or two. Just some time to myself but we will see how far I will get tonight. I'm sure I will pass out early as I've had a rough night last night but that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you guys tomorrow. 

Chris

Post Easter Blog

                 With the holidays concluded, well it is technically still a holiday but Chris and I are working on getting the older shorts done and schedule for their scheduled days Sundays and Fridays.  That is the biggest project on top of the shows itself to be finished. We're working on content for today and tomorrow first then we will be working on the older stuff. What I gather he has no podcast recording sessions planned till Friday with another special guest on the podcast. 

                 So holidays may be done but we continue to work on things. I hope he does take some time for himself today at some point and I am sure he will. I hope you all had a great Easter and if you are doing dinner today instead, enjoy it. Boss Man will be back to blogging tomorrow and I know he has a post coming about the Bowmanville Maple Festival which is a week and a half away from now. Anyways, I will chat on Friday, enjoy your week.

Weekly Updates for 04-18-2025

                I have no clue when we are going into the newsletter phase of the website and doing away with the weekly updates and we know you love for the past decade and we are still working out how we can do both but small details how it will work out for the future. Chris has been working on editing the interview with Ken and he's hinted all week he was coming back onto the podcast and I never saw this coming till he called me and told me Ken was coming on this week and usually it's a week or two apart but this really made Chris excited and I've heard the episode and you guys will enjoy it Sunday, guaranteed. He's has hinted future podcasts with Ken and also Shane as well. He's really keeping ideas down on paper so he remembers. 

              After editing comes Ghostwriter work today and tomorrow and along with re-uploading and scheduling YouTube Shorts that needs to be put back up.  hoping to get at least 5 done before Easter happens. I've heard he's started to talk and discuss with some of the team on Corner Gas wanting our opinion how to approach it but it sounds like some movement is being made on this and hoping a May recording sesh is in the works and we can start utilizing the Friday slot too. Also Tuesday the interview Chris did with Jeff on Invisible Condition will be Live on 360tv.com, Facebook and YouTube. Also he's heard his interview that he did with Dr. Shafer will be up before April is done. Finally, I want to wish you all a Happy Easter, please safe travels to and from family and blogs will be returning on Tuesday but there is a possibility for a post from me on Monday.

YouTube Older Long Form Content is Done!

              I do not know what to talk about when it comes to this blog as I am not an expert like Chris is but I do have some news, Chris has an announcement to make tonight across all of the platforms regarding to the older long form content. It is big news as he's been working at this for over a month now. He finished the older long form content finally! He pushed out the last 2 long form videos from the past and now we are to be focusing on newer content and continue to grow the channel. 

             Yeah it's been fun for us and you guys but time for new stuff! I've noticed the premieres been quite quiet and that's OK. I will let him explain it in the video he's doing today and what's next for the channel. But this is a step forward with the channel and this is my take on this. This opens the doors for a lot more. Not only that less stress for all of us. But as I mentioned still have the old shorts to post on Sundays & Fridays. I will talk to you @ 1 pm EST for the final blog of the week.

The CBOTW Show Re-Scheduled to 2 weeks!

            As mentioned in the Facebook Group and if you are not on the group it's listed on our website for you to join our fun little community for behind the scenes look. Anyways I mentioned on there only and as we had no plans to actually mention it publicly till this post goes up which you are reading right now. So after  Chris speaking to his right hand man Larry,  because of Easter and also his family is already down, they've decided to forgo the recording and visit till 2 weeks from now. 

          However the good news is Larry is actually staying the night here so means lots of time to record and planning on pushing 7 episodes the same day. Should get them beyond June and see what they can record after that before Larry moves north which means reworking all the tech stuff out with Discord. Will be interesting that's for sure. I am sorry for a very late post, chaotic day for us with a MIA boss man which he is back but I will be covering him for the rest of the week.

 

Sara

Upcoming Shows for Entertainment Man Podcast!

              There is a lot of Upcoming shows with Entertainment Man Podcast and here is what scheduled so far:

Sunday, April 20th, 2025: Ken Siejak- Talking about how to go viral online, YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok etc.

Sunday, May 11th, 2025: 300th episode with special guest Kimberly Cloud.

              There are some podcasts that are pending scheduling and I am not going to not mentioning who but I can say I have been in touch with people and working on podcasts and making plans to actually schedule but I am working on interviews with Gilda, Jeff and Shane. Look forward to all the interviews and guest appearances that we have. However that is the post for today, rather shortened post but once I know more I will let you guys know on social media and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Close to Crossing the Finish Line!

               Getting close to crossing the finish line when it comes to re-uploading all these long and short form videos. This week the long form videos that are being put back up will be coming out this week will be coming to an end. I will be doing a video release Saturday @ 6 pm EST to mark the end of this long journey. I know I've been a pain with reposting so much in a day and trying to get it done in a timely fashion so we can actually focus on the newer content.

               Short forms continue to be posted but only two days of the week, the rest is the newer content for you guys. So we are only uploading the old shorts on Sundays & Fridays which has less content so we can slip it in for now and I know there will be some kind of new content down the road, just figuring out the Friday slot needs some improvements. However we're near the finish line for the first part, then the second part, so we are closing in to completion of the older stuff and excited for the future. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Weekly Updates for 04-11-2025

                It is time for some updates and Chris has been busy with the website and podcasts particularly. The first update is Chris has been working hard on the website and has completed the 30 minute free call and the coaching pages have been completed. He is going to be working on the newsletter next week and excited to be launching all these services and features. Also he is planning to start up weekly streams on social media again soon. He's been so busy with everything else right now. 

                    It's kind of the reason why the reason The CBOTW Show disappeared on Fridays for right now but soon as Corner Gas starts then we can most definitely have episodes on Fridays too but he wants to focus on uploading the rest of the content that he has, shorts and what not. Next week should be the end of all long form content in the way of older content, shorts continue to be uploaded.  Those are the updates for this week, stay tune for more updates and as I promised, I will let you all know when the Weekly Newsletter and coaching will start.

My Heads Going a Mile a Minute!

             I know my head's been going a mile a minute, getting the coaching service started for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media, newsletter and deciding the fate of the weekly updates whether I am going to keep it or not. Plus two more episodes to be recorded and edited then planning out Ghostwriter for the following week but we will be only recording two episodes next week what I have planned out for us and first week of May we will be recording 5 more episodes. We will be very far ahead in scheduled episodes and will have a good buffer of shows to be released as I will be away in May. 

            With the Weekly Updates coming to an end, I have started to wonder how it will work with the Newsletter but I believe we can deliver it with excellent updates and news from our company. It will be a new perspective for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. Yes I do feel a bit apprehensive which I know is a big word but I am taking it one step at a time and it is the best way way to deal with all of this. It's all about balance. I will do a podcast not this weekend but probably the following weekend. Anyways that is the post for today, I will speak to you all on Monday, Sara will be back for her weekly updates tomorrow.

Chris              

Inzoi Video Game (First Impressions)

              Inzoi is like a different version of The Sims video game series. Larry and I played it for the first time last week and we will have his perspective next week, a week from this Sunday so stay tuned to that as I will not be on camera just him on his own which is exciting for him to do his own video. I want to see if he can do it on his own. It's a test to see how far he's come but anyways. Back to my review the game struck me watching TMartn2 on YouTube which a lot of these sims games came from his channel that inspired me to try out and so far about 90% I have been happy. 

              It is exactly like The Sims and I am not trying to compare the two but you can get into a relationship, get engaged, get married and also try for a baby, getting a job as well. Exactly like that but I don't think there are cheats on this which means you have to do the work. Also you have to make sure you get your Zoi's needs every time. Also you can literally make your Zoi on your own too which is really cool! If I was to rate the game out of 10, I would give it a 20 but we've not yet scratched the surface with the game yet. If you like The Sims, I would highly recommend and try it out. Anyways that is my review and be on the lookout for Larry's review on YouTube down the road and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Pumping Out Content Like No Tomorrow!

                We continue to pump out content both shorts/reels and the long form content including podcasts as well. We have been on a grind and not tired whatsoever, been sleeping a bit better but still at the wrong times. We have been working on shorts/reels like crazy. We are rolling it out at a good pace and making sure it's scheduled to go out on time. That is what the scheduling feature is all about with Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube! 

               Also we are getting into a great rhythm with posting up content and I think once we have everything going good, I will start to take Sundays off again. I should of been off on Sunday but I worked on and off. I did take a break from it for a while to spend time with the family. Sundays are my normal days off usually but I haven't to make sure everything is set. So I am going to try and get things ahead of schedule. I am going to try and make a better schedule so I know what needs to be done. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

What's Happening with The Content Schedule?

            As you know that we are changing the blog schedule around. Monday - Fridays blog will be up and as Sara mentioned We are splitting the schedule but one of us will have to take a 3 day shift and that will be me, Monday, Wednesday and Friday's and Sara taking the Tuesday and Thursday shift. This means no more end of the week updates any updates will be in the newsletter will be updates and what is going on in our community. I think it is better but we continue to blog on here including the events which start in May. 

            Once the 24th of April arrives and there is still shorts left to re-upload, old shorts only on Sundays and Fridays. Other days will be new content till we reach the end of the shorts and not sure what Fridays and Sundays will be for content as of yet. Possibly some kind of videos about content possibly and Sundays will be less in the way of videos. Well we will actually have the weekly videos at 6 pm EST. Just minor details to get us back up on regular schedule but with April 24th approaching us quickly we have formulated a plan and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Weekly Updates for 04-04-2025

                   First of all, I am sorry for the really late blog, had some tech issues and had to call the boss man as he was out this afternoon and things are now fixed on my end. But this week has been interesting for us and busy as heck and rarely have time for ourselves, like boss man getting ready for coaching, adding new pages and features to the website. It is just so much going on, he's starting to doubt the podcasts and I told him not to think that way. He will find time. I mentioned why not just take one of the podcasts off video more pertaining to The CBOTW Show but he refused to so what can I do. 

                  However with this dilemma and problem, came a solution from yours truly.  I suggested he doesn't do Fridays. English please Sara!- What I mean is he drops the Friday shows to an extra day for collaboration like the upcoming. Also the bottom of boss man's list is Weekly Newsletters, which I will be actually running. What does this mean for the Weekly Updates? It will be unfortunately ending. However I will be rotating days with Chris on the blog posts and every second day and some weeks. So Chris will be doing 3 blogs post, I will be doing 2. When will this start, as soon as he puts the sign up, codes the pop up, he will let me know so there should be one at the end of next week.  Anyways, I will talk to you all end of next week.

 

Sara

My Role as Chief Operating Officer!

            With everything the team and I have been through we are finding it hard to make those hard decisions and I know the stresses as I make most of the big decisions with the community stuff, chats, servers, groups and what not. Chris trusts my decisions and it was majority of my decision with Chris's opinion and we both decided to stop the Discord server and as long as he is OK with it then I will go with the decision. 

           I run the day to day and I always lean on the boss man for advice. I consider him a mentor to me and always will be my mentor through all of this. It has been a hard last 5 months for me transitioning into the COO role so soon and wasn't expecting a promotion so soon but I am proud to have taken on this role and it's opened a lot of doors for not just me the entire team as well. I pretty well answer majority of the emails except he answers the podcast emails pretty much. I will chat with you all tomorrow for the weekly updates.

 

Sara

We're Getting on a Roll!

           Chris, myself and the rest of the team have been busy non stop, from uploading older shorts to post to working on episodes throughout the week and he's been doing 3 shows a week and we've been keeping up with the command. I've been helping him with editing and getting things done and out on time. We've been counting down and 22 days till the end of the video form episodes being re-uploaded. No ETA on the shorts from the past but once that is done then we are all new content moving forward. 

           This is why I may be taking over the blog for a while till he gets everything done with the older episodes and I know we are eager to start working on new episodes and have those ready for the future of the podcasts and he's spoke about it and so have I but we've had no time lately. Anyhow, I will chat with y'all tomorrow. 

Sara

Vlog is being recorded!

         A Vlog is being recorded. I've caught him with the camera and his phone in one hand as he's on a call with me and between filming the Vlog. I heard he will be recording all week long up to Thursday evening so something is truly up with him. I just know he will be posting something up. I know you guys want streams from him, long and short content, the podcasts. There is so much we can do in a day. 

         I think it will be an interesting vlog unless something happens today that was suppose to happen doesn't but we'll see. He has considered just re-starting the vlog entirely and I understand how he feels and his choice but that is what editing is for and he's been in this game for 19 years so anything is possible. Hope you will tune into the video on Saturday @ 6 pm EST and I will chat with you all tomorrow.
