With a change to scheduled programming, we are going to be talking why BAD VIDEO IS BAD BUSINESS on Brainfood Live On Air Ep60!
Lets face it folks - not only are we doing too many video calls, too many of these are a terrible experience, mainly due to correctable mistakes that we routinely make which makes the experience harder than it should be for the viewers & participants.
I AM NO DIFFERENT!
Even though I had done 60 of these webinars, it still took me some time to understand basic sh1t like 'place your camera higher' so people can see more than just your head.
I'm gathering together a load of video con experts to tell us how it is done. This is an act of altruism - lets elevate our collective video game.

It is become clear that Covid-19 will be a world changing event.
Economies, political systems, values, social behaviours, workplace culture - all are poised to be radically altered by a pandemic which has devastated the planet.
