you know, focus on where the commonality is.
Find that common ground and it doesn't matter what they're watching,
what they're listening to. Find that common ground, be likable,
exchange a little dopamine if you can be helpful to them. And then, you know,
just be human and have conversations,
but don't whisper and don't be afraid and don't scream. Just be normal.
I like it. I like it. And I have one more question from my audience.
I've, I kept forgetting to ask you this. I mentioned cutting clips.
One thing that I want you guys to do to help me,
because this content that we're talking about today is so valuable,
but I'm so involved in the conversation. I forget to mark,
to bookmark sections that would be good to cut into shorter clips.
And so what I want to ask you guys to do is send me an email,
info at marygracemedia.com or just leave a note in the chat.
And say, Hey, starting at this timestamp,
Boone said something really amazing that I think would have an impact on a lot of
people. This is a good place to cut a short clip.
That would help me so much because otherwise, you know,
I have to go back through every single show that I do and identify that
content. And I don't necessarily know what stands out to you.
So if you give me a little bit of a reminder or just say, yeah, Hey,
this was, this had a huge impact when he said this right here,
then I can go back and cut it and we can share it and get those shorter snippets.
And then that, that could be things that you can share with people as well. Hey,
here's a 30 second clip. Here's a 60 second clip.
This is something that, that really hit me. What do you think about it?
Those are ways to start conversations as well.
And you're not asking somebody to go and listen to a whole long video of somebody
they've never even heard of, right?
Yep. Yeah. I mean, really, who's got it?
If somebody sends me three videos a day and they're each an hour,
I just don't have three hours. I don't, but everybody's like,
I wish I did, but it happens to me all the time too,
but everybody has time to open up and scroll and look at a reel on,
on social media or whatever platform you're on. Yeah. It's super simple.
And those platforms are actually promoting those as well.
I noticed that with Facebook, when I make a reel or a story, I get,
you know, a thousand, thousands of views.
And so let's work within the strategy of what's available to us.
And let's take advantage of, you know,
what these platforms are doing. We often find ourselves fighting against them,
but you know,
Facebook gives me suggestions and I follow their suggestions because that tells
me this is the kind of thing they want to promote and they're going to show it
to more people.
And so I'm taking advantage of what the battlefield
is, is how it's helping me.
I'm using it to my advantage to help me so that I can help you.
Does that make sense? Everybody we're being smart. We're being strategic.
So any last words Boone on what we are going to,
what we've got for the listeners today, this has been so valuable.
I really appreciate your time and expertise here.
Yeah, I do have something. I have a challenge.
I have something that I want people to consider. You know,
we're in this digital space all the time, get into the physical domain,
be people with other people. They're used to it.
There was a time when people would have potlucks and it was a normal thing.
You'd have potluck dinner at your house. That was a normal thing.
There was a time when people had block parties.
That was a normal thing all across the United States. Fourth of July,
there was always a block parties, you know, within,
there's several of them in town. People would get together.
