Updates from the Boss Man!

             Well, things have been chaotic and been solely focused on content the last few weeks and one of the reasons this website is missing an key factor to our website and that is the newsletter. This is something we are working on and by the time I get back from 3 - 4 days from out of the province, I will be sure to get working on that. I think I do know how it works. I have an idea how it will work and know it will be a very successful new piece to this. 

            Honestly we have started to question the end of the week updates or as it's now called "Weekly Updates" as it was suppose to already be removed off the blog but we've hit a snag in the plan as we are not sure how to put the sign up on our website yet plus we want to do a pop up but not sure how to do that as the site is very, very full and the pop up would be the best way for us and having it. We would have to arrange a few things first of all. Those are the few things going on right now and we are slowly getting things done and I will do a video this weekend. I will talk to you all tomorrow.

What Happened to the Events on the Weekend?

            Well Saturday I wasn't in the right frame of mine and all I wanted to do was sleep in plus I wasn't feeling like fighting the busy crowd and we weren't sure we were able to actually get an actual parking spot as Maple Festival is a very popular event locally now so it is harder to go unless I take the bus out and maybe something I will do next time. I enjoy going to that event and the next one in Bowmanville will be in the fall as there isn't anything else. 

          Also usually on this day too we do the Doors open event locally in my city but we had my niece and nephew's 3 on 3 Hockey so a little more important to go to actually as family does come first before anything else. So the next event coming up for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media is the Peony Festival, locally here in my hometown. What I gather from our schedule of events for this year. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you tomorrow for another post.

Weekly Updates [05-02-2025]

                 First of all sorry for  the late post, so much chaos the last 24 hours, from my desktop computer acting up to the meltdown @ our studio from what I heard of with more tech issues with the computer software, we've had a stressful week but with a stressful week, comes great news from the home front.  What am I saying? Well, Chris got an email and I unfortunately cannot say yet as it's not confirmed but it's huge news for our community!

              The other  news is he has a sleuth of podcasts to edit and post up. It almost didn't happen this morning as the two boys had ran into tech issues last night. However that was rectified and they recorded 5! That's right 5! so 5 weeks of episodes on Wednesdays @ 6 pm EST. They are shorter episodes but they are planning to extend them in less than 2 weeks from now. He is recording Entertainment Man Podcast for this weekend and the weekend he returns from his yearly trip. He is starting to get everything together. Have a great weekend and talk to you all next week.

24 Hours of Fun w/ Larry!

          It will be a crazy 24 hours with Larry! Today we will be making history as we attempt to record 7 episodes of The CBOTW Show and we will be trying to keep it at 20 minutes each which will be 140 minutes of podcasting which is like over 2 hours of show coverage and will be ready for when I am away on holidays. I am having a bit of an idea and by the later half of the week as I will be talking a lot of events this weekend from the Bowmanville Maple Fest to the Doors Open Oshawa.  Anyways off topic. 

           Between our recording sessions, we will be watching a ton of TV, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, Turbo and in Space but not just that but playing a bit of Sims 2, Inzoi, I am going to let Larry try it out, I think I got him hooked on the game, the last time we played here in the studio. I am sure there will be a lot of snow talk as usual for the two of us but it will be fun and as I promised on the update video there will be a vlog of our afternoon and evening. I'm sure it will be a long vlog of some sort. Anyways that is the blog for today and as always I will speak to you on Monday, have a great weekend!

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.
