Speaker: 00:01:07

So yes, I have seen you all around clubhouse.

Speaker: 00:01:09

I think we've, comodified a couple of stages together as well, but if this

Speaker: 00:01:12

was meant to be the universe, wanted us to talk about the future of marketing.

Speaker: 00:01:17

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker: 00:01:19

And I am, you know, in marketing myself, and I'm also kind of

Speaker: 00:01:22

a, tech nerd and afterwards.

Speaker: 00:01:24

I research new apps on the app store and see what can help people

Speaker: 00:01:28

be more efficient and save time and do all kinds of cool things.

Speaker: 00:01:32

So that's why, I'm so honored that you're here because more so than anything

Speaker: 00:01:36

is, is also a learning experience for me, because I've been meaning

Speaker: 00:01:39

to actually sign up for hello movie.

Speaker: 00:01:43

Yeah, it's like, if I can have a better understanding of exactly

Speaker: 00:01:45

what I can do, that would be great.

Speaker: 00:01:47

So let's start with this.

Speaker: 00:01:48

Let's start with back back in the day.

Speaker: 00:01:50

Maybe it wasn't that long ago, , let's start with your background,

Speaker: 00:01:54

before, hello, we'll be like, tell us a little bit about yourself.

Speaker: 00:01:58

Like who you are, what you did by.

Speaker: 00:02:00

So, very much a rebel from a very young age.

Speaker: 00:02:03

I remember back in India, , at our Indian wedding, I was like, why are

Speaker: 00:02:07

all these flowers being thrown around?

Speaker: 00:02:09

And so I, for your listeners who haven't been to an Indian wedding we can use

Speaker: 00:02:13

a lot of flowers, like a lot, like a city's worth of flowers at one wedding.

Speaker: 00:02:17

And so.

Speaker: 00:02:18

I was like, why are we throwing these out?

Speaker: 00:02:20

So I ended up taking a couple of those flowers and turning those into like

Speaker: 00:02:23

Hawaiian garlands and selling those for 25 cents of my grandmother's gate.

Speaker: 00:02:28

Now the issue was I was in India and my grandmother's gate.

Speaker: 00:02:31

No one knows what 25 sentences it's a different currency, but I was

Speaker: 00:02:34

selling it for a quarter anyways.

Speaker: 00:02:36

And so it was just, I was always trying to figure out how could I sell something?

Speaker: 00:02:40

How could I.

Speaker: 00:02:41

Make an extra buck on the side.

Speaker: 00:02:42

And there are a couple of other stories in my childhood where I definitely

Speaker: 00:02:45

drove my mom and saying, I was like, why can't he just do studies?

Speaker: 00:02:49

Always, you always have to sell something fast forward.

Speaker: 00:02:51

I did four startups today.

Speaker: 00:02:53

Two of them have been venture backed and hello Wolfie was really designed out

Speaker: 00:02:57

of the frustration and the inability to do a lot of the things that you know,

Speaker: 00:03:01

we're going to be talking about today easily, which in the realm of digital.

Speaker: 00:03:05

And so whether it was in a, it was a startup I did in high school

Speaker: 00:03:08

or an agency I did in college or a project management startup.

Speaker: 00:03:12

I built in college towards the end as well, coming up with the right

Speaker: 00:03:16

content, coming out the right emojis and hashtags and find the right images.

Speaker: 00:03:20

It's a full-time job.

Speaker: 00:03:21

It's a full-time job to be a social media manager.

Speaker: 00:03:24

Now, if you're going to be a solopreneur or if you're running a

Speaker: 00:03:26

coffee shop or a coaching business, not only are you a social media

Speaker: 00:03:29

manager, you're the accountant.

Speaker: 00:03:32

Person, right.

Speaker: 00:03:32

The finance person and the operations person and so on and so forth.

Speaker: 00:03:36

So yeah, it's out of that frustration.

Speaker: 00:03:38

I was like, okay, not only every going to help other rebels, other

Speaker: 00:03:41

underdogs, you know, really take power into their own hands, but we're

Speaker: 00:03:45

going to do it at a price point that is equivalent to a cup of coffee.

Speaker: 00:03:48

And, and help them with social media automation.

Speaker: 00:03:51

Now, since then since, building all these startups, we, we realized

Speaker: 00:03:54

that blogging was a big deal.

Speaker: 00:03:56

Especially last year when people are Googling, you

Speaker: 00:03:58

searching for a year services.

Speaker: 00:03:59

If you didn't come up in the first three, you know, three pages.

Speaker: 00:04:03

And so a lot of the business owners, we now work with, last

Speaker: 00:04:06

year, they're like, what is blogging?

Speaker: 00:04:08

What is content marketing?

Speaker: 00:04:09

So we built a product around that.

Speaker: 00:04:10

And then now we can talk about social audio and clubhouse and smart speakers.

Speaker: 00:04:14

That's really the feature.

Speaker: 00:04:16

And yet very few people are talking about it.

Speaker: 00:04:18

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:04:19

First of all, I love that you were literally born an entrepreneur because

Speaker: 00:04:22

you were very entrepreneurial, even from a young age, you knew what you wanted, you

Speaker: 00:04:26

went after it, you wanted to make money.

Speaker: 00:04:28

You know, you're like, Hey, I'd rather make money than sit in a class in school.

Speaker: 00:04:31

Like I know what to do.

Speaker: 00:04:32

And I feel like I was kind of the same way.

Speaker: 00:04:35

But I think it comes from a young age.

Speaker: 00:04:37

That's, really great because when it comes from a young age, it just really

Speaker: 00:04:40

fuels you to do more, to create more and to have that creativity, which

Speaker: 00:04:44

I think is really, really important when you are, a founder of a company.

Speaker: 00:04:49

There's so many companies out there that already do similar things when

Speaker: 00:04:53

it comes to, social media platforms, there's like a dozen of them because.

Speaker: 00:04:57

I do social media managements.

Speaker: 00:04:59

I've probably used a lot of them and, you know, I think.

Speaker: 00:05:02

What you've done is you combined artificial intelligence.

Speaker: 00:05:05

And I think that's the part that intrigues me the most , because I'm really seeing

Speaker: 00:05:10

artificial intelligence everywhere.

Speaker: 00:05:12

There's apps, like, jarvis.ai and they can write your

Speaker: 00:05:15

content and there's other apps.

Speaker: 00:05:17

And I'm just like, you know, I'm impressed.

Speaker: 00:05:19

And I think that's the way of the future.

Speaker: 00:05:21

So I want, to hear a little bit about, , like the concept and how.

Speaker: 00:05:25

I you came up with that.

Speaker: 00:05:26

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:05:27

So, so just on that topic, I mean , during our sales calls and we do sales calls with

Speaker: 00:05:32

a whole bunch of small business owners and they always ask this question is can

Speaker: 00:05:36

I, can the platform do everything for me?

Speaker: 00:05:38

And the answer is not exactly because there's going to be a day of reckoning.

Speaker: 00:05:42

There's going to be a judgment day for all these other companies that are

Speaker: 00:05:45

saying, just sit back type a little bit, and they'll just automatically spit out.

Speaker: 00:05:50

Journalistic upper level quality article.

Speaker: 00:05:53

Well, the issue is that once you get so many robots talking to each other

Speaker: 00:05:57

and posting on, the platforms, the platforms are gonna catch on very quickly.

Speaker: 00:06:01

For example, Twitter, doesn't like similar content.

Speaker: 00:06:04

They don't like duplicated content.

Speaker: 00:06:05

That's a terms and conditions thing you have to deal with.

Speaker: 00:06:07

And a lot of the platforms they want to make sure that.

Speaker: 00:06:10

Person the user is at the center of all the posting.

Speaker: 00:06:13

It's not just, regurgitating the same thing automatically creating the content.

Speaker: 00:06:17

Then, you know, robots talking to robots because that affects their

Speaker: 00:06:20

advertising model affects their engagement and so on and so forth.

Speaker: 00:06:23

So there is going to be a day of reckoning along those lines.

Speaker: 00:06:25

Now we appreciate the auto capabilities that create content creation that, , a

Speaker: 00:06:29

lot for that other companies are doing, but they're also using open

Speaker: 00:06:32

source IP called GPT three or GPT.

Speaker: 00:06:35

And, and it's not really IP that they've built inherently that has

Speaker: 00:06:39

been designed specifically for the needs of a business owner or a

Speaker: 00:06:42

small business owner or an underdog.

Speaker: 00:06:45

So in our case, we just received a patent about a month ago, actually,

Speaker: 00:06:48

literally the day after my birthday that allowed us to protect the IP around.

Speaker: 00:06:52

When you start typing a piece of content, it automatically starts

Speaker: 00:06:55

suggesting additional words.

Speaker: 00:06:57

The rest of the word that you're typing automatically.

Speaker: 00:07:00

And then it says, okay, these are the words that we recommend.

Speaker: 00:07:03

But then these are the hashtags that we recommend based on that, based on

Speaker: 00:07:05

the data that we've seen, hundreds of millions of times being used again and

Speaker: 00:07:08

again, but the most important part of that is the whole science of emojis.

Speaker: 00:07:13

Now I was on a TV episode a couple of months ago, and I said, Emojis

Speaker: 00:07:19

are the modern hieroglyphics were all cavemen at the end of the day.

Speaker: 00:07:22

And studies show over and over again, that when you use the right emojis or

Speaker: 00:07:26

emojis to begin with it drives engagement.

Speaker: 00:07:29

It drives purchase intent.

Speaker: 00:07:30

It drives open rates and their whole slew of benefits.

Speaker: 00:07:33

But the only issue is that again, if you're that coffee shop owner, that coach

Speaker: 00:07:36

and a podcast, or you do not have the time to go through 3,200 emojis, figure out

Speaker: 00:07:42

which ones to use, that's what you end up using the same finger gestures, the

Speaker: 00:07:45

same faces, the same the same vegetables.

Speaker: 00:07:48

And that's not very helpful.

Speaker: 00:07:49

that is so true.

Speaker: 00:07:50

I was actually asking people like, Hey, what's the URL for the emoji

Speaker: 00:07:54

dictionary because sometimes people use emojis and I'm, you know,

Speaker: 00:07:57

quite familiar with most of them.

Speaker: 00:07:59

What on earth does this emoji mean?

Speaker: 00:08:01

Right.

Speaker: 00:08:02

But I think it makes social media and way more fun.

Speaker: 00:08:05

And I think it's way people engage more with posts that do have emojis in them.

Speaker: 00:08:11

And that's tried and true.

Speaker: 00:08:12

Like even in my clubhouse rooms, I always put emojis, if it's podcasting

Speaker: 00:08:17

room, I'll put a podcasting emoji and then throw on a little smiley face.

Speaker: 00:08:21

Cause we want people to be happy when they come to the.

Speaker: 00:08:23

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:08:24

, and, and just to highlight for what we're talking about, this is one example.

Speaker: 00:08:27

And so for viewers, we're listing in what I'm showing dimple is an example of a,

Speaker: 00:08:32

what is known as a complex network graph.

Speaker: 00:08:34

I just typed in a simple sentence, like, how are you?

Speaker: 00:08:36

And of course we love you and like coffee, but then you, all you notice is how

Speaker: 00:08:40

language is being actually formulated.

Speaker: 00:08:42

We're looking at three different versions.

Speaker: 00:08:43

One is the emojis, hashtags and words.

Speaker: 00:08:45

How do they, co-exist in the world of social media?

Speaker: 00:08:49

So you can see love does well with heart, which what does well with

Speaker: 00:08:52

these emojis over here on the left side and in heart does really well

Speaker: 00:08:55

with another hashtag like quote.

Speaker: 00:08:58

So when you expand and you take a look at the entire world of language

Speaker: 00:09:02

and how it's formulated in real time, it's very, very captivating.

Speaker: 00:09:05

And so as soon as you come into our platform, we say, okay, Just start typing.

Speaker: 00:09:09

Don't feel the over what don't feel overwhelmed that you have to

Speaker: 00:09:12

come up with the perfect content.

Speaker: 00:09:13

Just start typing.

Speaker: 00:09:14

We can see it starting to suggest content for you.

Speaker: 00:09:16

I'm gonna use the same example for consistency.

Speaker: 00:09:18

And then of course I love my.

Speaker: 00:09:21

And then we will notice those emojis being recommended below like coffee or

Speaker: 00:09:25

the the sign here, what the, the hearts and the eyes, the point is it's giving

Speaker: 00:09:29

you those recommendations based on data.

Speaker: 00:09:31

And then we're also tracking what emojis are being used in real time.

Speaker: 00:09:34

So now for your, for again, for your listeners who are tuning in.

Speaker: 00:09:38

Different kinds of emojis flickering and they're flickering on different

Speaker: 00:09:41

paces because some of them are more popular than the other ones.

Speaker: 00:09:44

And you can now have data at your fingertips to see what

Speaker: 00:09:47

is popular, what's trending.

Speaker: 00:09:49

And if you don't have an image, we'll find royalty free images or

Speaker: 00:09:51

memes and gifts for you, depending on what you typed in so far.

Speaker: 00:09:54

And if those images have words in them, it'll automatically transcribe

Speaker: 00:09:57

the the words for you as well.

Speaker: 00:09:59

So there's a lot of capabilities baked in, but the point is the small business

Speaker: 00:10:02

owner doesn't have a degree in all the.

Speaker: 00:10:05

Intricate, marketing techniques.

Speaker: 00:10:07

We, it should just do it for you then and think of focusing on storytelling.

Speaker: 00:10:10

Absolutely.

Speaker: 00:10:11

I mean, I love that.

Speaker: 00:10:12

I love all of those features because you know, small business owners, they

Speaker: 00:10:16

don't really know much about social media and most of them actually

Speaker: 00:10:19

have to hire someone to do it.

Speaker: 00:10:20

But the issue sometimes with small business owners, They can't afford

Speaker: 00:10:25

to pay someone else to do it, or they don't have a marketing budget.

Speaker: 00:10:28

And when you can't afford to do it, you really need to learn how to do it

Speaker: 00:10:32

yourself, but you need the resources and the technology and platforms

Speaker: 00:10:37

to, make it so simple and fun.

Speaker: 00:10:40

Even that, that you want to spend time.

Speaker: 00:10:42

You want to allocate like that one or two hours on your calendar and say,

Speaker: 00:10:46

I'm going to work on my social media posts and, like the example you shared,

Speaker: 00:10:50

like that was for like a Google post.

Speaker: 00:10:52

And I'm like, well, I never even thought about putting emojis in a Google post.

Speaker: 00:10:56

Like that's mine.

Speaker: 00:10:58

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:10:59

And it's just those little things that can really help you out and

Speaker: 00:11:02

make it not only more delightful, but just simpler and more powerful.

Speaker: 00:11:07

So one of the things we always have something crazy being built behind

Speaker: 00:11:11

the scenes as our special project.

Speaker: 00:11:12

So one of the things that we have currently being built, which

Speaker: 00:11:15

is very crazy is an augmented reality version of the platform.

Speaker: 00:11:19

So you can literally have your.

Speaker: 00:11:21

But the w you know, before you, and you can see visually what contents about to

Speaker: 00:11:25

go out, what content is ready to go out, what content is sitting in your library.

Speaker: 00:11:29

And if you think any of these posts should be going out immediately,

Speaker: 00:11:32

well, then you just tap on the post before you, and you can say fired

Speaker: 00:11:35

off to Instagram, and then you go to Instagram and it's already there,

Speaker: 00:11:38

or Facebook and Twitter and whatnot.

Speaker: 00:11:40

So the point is how can we help those small business owners?

Speaker: 00:11:43

And this is an augmented reality version, obviously for you, for your listeners.

Speaker: 00:11:47

The point is, how can we help.

Speaker: 00:11:49

Business owner who's stuck at home.

Speaker: 00:11:50

Quarantine, has a different way of working today.

Speaker: 00:11:53

How can we allow their sphere of work to become very, very fun and also

Speaker: 00:11:58

do a screen share with your client.

Speaker: 00:11:59

They're going to be blown away that you get there.

Speaker: 00:12:01

You'll be able to show an augmented reality, how the campaign's been going,

Speaker: 00:12:05

what posts have gone out like a visual timeline and you can literally just

Speaker: 00:12:09

walk around and say, Hey client, Hey.

Speaker: 00:12:11

This is what I've done in the last few weeks.

Speaker: 00:12:13

And this is the content there, and this is what's coming out in the future.

Speaker: 00:12:16

If you don't like it, we can just tap on the X and deleted and then tap on

Speaker: 00:12:19

it and have a schedule immediately.

Speaker: 00:12:21

It's just a different way of, visualizing metrics and how well we're doing as.

Speaker: 00:12:26

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:12:26

And I have to say, Arjun just showed me that and it was actually mind blowing.

Speaker: 00:12:30

I was impressed.

Speaker: 00:12:31

It looks so cool.

Speaker: 00:12:32

And on top of it, is it correct that post can be scheduled

Speaker: 00:12:35

in advance even on Instagram

Speaker: 00:12:37

so long as you have a business profile on Instagram, because there

Speaker: 00:12:39

are different versions of Instagram.

Speaker: 00:12:41

You can have a personal profile and then a professional profile, which subdivides

Speaker: 00:12:45

into a creator and a business profile.

Speaker: 00:12:47

So you want to have a professional business profile.

Speaker: 00:12:49

And as long as you do that, feed posts are fully.

Speaker: 00:12:53

So long as they are one-to-one ratio or four to five ratio in size

Speaker: 00:12:56

stories are still semi-automated.

Speaker: 00:12:58

I'm sure at some point Instagram is going to open up the entire

Speaker: 00:13:00

platform to be automated.

Speaker: 00:13:02

But like I said, these platforms are making sure that

Speaker: 00:13:05

you are at the core of it.

Speaker: 00:13:06

You're creating the content you're suggesting and whatnot,

Speaker: 00:13:09

and, there, there's definitely going to be a day where, you have.

Speaker: 00:13:12

Technology to prevent full automation.

Speaker: 00:13:15

And so in our platform, for example, because we know Twitter, doesn't like

Speaker: 00:13:17

similar content or duplicated content coming out, we are the only ones.

Speaker: 00:13:21

And we filed a ponder on those that tells you how similar is your content,

Speaker: 00:13:25

so that you don't shoot yourself in the foot going , scheduling again to Twitter.

Speaker: 00:13:28

And those are those little piece of technology that saves so much

Speaker: 00:13:31

headache for that small business owner.

Speaker: 00:13:33

Okay, amazing.

Speaker: 00:13:34

And what about if Put some posts out there and we want to reshare

Speaker: 00:13:39

that post, a few weeks later.

Speaker: 00:13:40

Is there a button to do that?

Speaker: 00:13:42

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker: 00:13:42

So we have a concept called a library and we have a categorized

Speaker: 00:13:46

categorization systems that essentially, when you go into a library, you say

Speaker: 00:13:50

this is going to be my blog posts.

Speaker: 00:13:51

These are going to be any motivational content is going to

Speaker: 00:13:53

be content for my Facebook group.

Speaker: 00:13:55

And we have about 50 pieces of content give or take in our Facebook

Speaker: 00:13:59

category, Facebook group category con for our group called content masters.

Speaker: 00:14:03

And we just reshare it.

Speaker: 00:14:05

Piece of the content again and again, some of it is about how to use the platform.

Speaker: 00:14:09

So it is about, tips for small businesses.

Speaker: 00:14:12

You know, some of them are motivational quotes and so yes, when you click on

Speaker: 00:14:15

the post itself, you have an option.

Speaker: 00:14:17

Do you want to send it off immediately or ahead of time?

Speaker: 00:14:19

And then that, and they can come back to do.

Speaker: 00:14:21

I mean, that is an amazing feature because it saves so much time.

Speaker: 00:14:25

, let's go back to talk about blogging for a moment, because I love to talk about that.

Speaker: 00:14:29

Creating content is so important nowadays.

Speaker: 00:14:31

And one of the best ways to create content is through blog posts.

Speaker: 00:14:34

So like when we create blog posts for clients, like I have a whole

Speaker: 00:14:38

content team, they write specifically for different practice niches.

Speaker: 00:14:41

Like if I have lawyers.

Speaker: 00:14:43

We have content writers that are former lawyers or paralegals, or

Speaker: 00:14:47

they have a degree in journalism and, whenever we're creating all this

Speaker: 00:14:51

content, I'm creating it strategic.

Speaker: 00:14:54

For SEO purposes, search engine optimization so that it has the

Speaker: 00:14:58

ability to rank on page one of Google.

Speaker: 00:15:00

And when we create this content, we also want to share it on social media.

Speaker: 00:15:05

But if I've been creating content for someone for a while, Like the same article

Speaker: 00:15:10

can be shared over a period of time, again, and I think it's really important.

Speaker: 00:15:16

Like this makes a process so easy.

Speaker: 00:15:18

I'm actually blown away by even what I've heard so far, that this

Speaker: 00:15:21

is only, and you can say what the low prices in case it changes.

Speaker: 00:15:25

And I don't want to say the wrong thing because it's like blows my

Speaker: 00:15:28

mind, why you would offer this.

Speaker: 00:15:30

So Mega cost-effectively, , because you're literally being such a nice

Speaker: 00:15:36

entrepreneur, like you're totally sharing and caring because I know how much

Speaker: 00:15:40

other platforms cost and I'm going to be honest with the audience right now.

Speaker: 00:15:44

They don't even do one fourth of what, how long will he does, do any of these.

Speaker: 00:15:49

Oh, and, and again, we have a lot of respect for our competitors, but if

Speaker: 00:15:52

you take a look at them, especially the biggest ones in the, in the

Speaker: 00:15:55

industry, they're all about enterprise.

Speaker: 00:15:57

They're all about focusing on enterprise.

Speaker: 00:15:58

They don't even care where they got started, which was

Speaker: 00:16:00

SMB or small businesses.

Speaker: 00:16:02

And one of our biggest competitors, they grew from a billion dollars in market

Speaker: 00:16:06

cap to nearly 6 billion, you know, six X over the last, year and a half or so.

Speaker: 00:16:11

And that was because digital marketing became such a big topic.

Speaker: 00:16:14

But when you think of T take a look at their prices to Europe, Exorbitant prices

Speaker: 00:16:18

capabilities one 10th of what we can do.

Speaker: 00:16:21

So like, to your point, if you're doing a lot of content marketing,

Speaker: 00:16:24

obviously I'm sharing my screen now for, for your listeners who are tuning

Speaker: 00:16:27

in, all I'm going to do is pace in an article like the one about emojis.

Speaker: 00:16:31

And what you'll notice is that it actually will read the article

Speaker: 00:16:34

for me so that I can come up with something thought provoking a quote.

Speaker: 00:16:38

It gives me a series of quotes, you know, I can throw.

Speaker: 00:16:41

And then at the end of it, I can also throw in a couple of hashtags that were

Speaker: 00:16:44

generated based on the article itself.

Speaker: 00:16:46

Now, if I want to summarize the article, all I have to do is

Speaker: 00:16:49

pace in the article, a URL or a paragraph from the article itself.

Speaker: 00:16:53

And then what we'll do is actually read the entire article for me and

Speaker: 00:16:57

say, okay, this is what we think would be a good synopsis or could

Speaker: 00:17:00

summary of the entire article.

Speaker: 00:17:01

And then throw that into your social media posts.

Speaker: 00:17:04

So now you have a capability of having your best friend, obviously

Speaker: 00:17:07

the theme of a dog here, and it will automatically suggest content for

Speaker: 00:17:10

you and throw that in here as well.

Speaker: 00:17:12

So the point is at the end of the day, if all of these pieces of technologies can

Speaker: 00:17:16

help you out so easily, then just click, click, click, and you're good to go.

Speaker: 00:17:20

Now on top of that, it's also giving you emoji recommendations.

Speaker: 00:17:22

As you can see here, if I want to pull in the articles image, just

Speaker: 00:17:26

throw that image in here and it'll get the image for me as well.

Speaker: 00:17:29

And I can throw that in here.

Speaker: 00:17:30

And then based off that image, it'll find more hashtags, more emojis as well.

Speaker: 00:17:35

And that's it.

Speaker: 00:17:35

Click, click, click, and you're good.

Speaker: 00:17:37

Oh my God.

Speaker: 00:17:37

That's absolutely amazing.

Speaker: 00:17:39

I love that because I mean, it takes the work out of it.

Speaker: 00:17:43

It takes the thought process out of it.

Speaker: 00:17:44

Then if you want to edit it a little bit, you can go in and edit it and

Speaker: 00:17:48

I have a lot of respect for small businesses because I've worked with

Speaker: 00:17:51

them for many years and , sometimes it's a struggle, especially.

Speaker: 00:17:55

With what we've gone through with the pandemic, it's hard.

Speaker: 00:17:58

Right?

Speaker: 00:17:59

And they don't have a lot of budget, but they do need to grow.

Speaker: 00:18:01

They need, they definitely need to be active on social media and this

Speaker: 00:18:05

makes it like such a seamless process.

Speaker: 00:18:08

So I love that here's the binder, the summary, which I didn't

Speaker: 00:18:11

actually add into the post.

Speaker: 00:18:13

Emojis have come a long way since they were created in 1980s.

Speaker: 00:18:16

But they're still very much part of our daily lives.

Speaker: 00:18:18

And I can throw that in.

Speaker: 00:18:19

And have a synopsis plus a quote.

Speaker: 00:18:21

And I'm good to go.

Speaker: 00:18:23

That is so cool.

Speaker: 00:18:24

A little bit of history right there.

Speaker: 00:18:26

ma.

Speaker: 00:18:27

Brain is going off and like ideas right now.

Speaker: 00:18:29

And I'm a podcaster and I, teach other people how to launch their

Speaker: 00:18:33

own podcasts and help them get launched and stuff like that.

Speaker: 00:18:35

And I do a lot of rooms on podcasting and I also do a lot of rooms on podcasts

Speaker: 00:18:41

marketing, because I always tell people like you can't just launch a podcast.

Speaker: 00:18:45

And expect to get a ton of traffic.

Speaker: 00:18:47

It's really important that you have a strategic marketing

Speaker: 00:18:50

plan to promote your episodes.

Speaker: 00:18:52

Right?

Speaker: 00:18:52

So I am like having all of these light bulbs go off on how maybe podcasters

Speaker: 00:18:58

can use the movie, even , if they take their show notes and they put them into

Speaker: 00:19:04

like a document and then now that's the link and it's going to formulate, Hey,

Speaker: 00:19:08

maybe this can be, you know, the topic.

Speaker: 00:19:10

And especially , it can pick up different, things that might make a good quote.

Speaker: 00:19:13

Right.

Speaker: 00:19:14

And when you have a podcast episode, You want to share it multiple times.

Speaker: 00:19:18

, quotes, or something that the person said that was really, tremendous

Speaker: 00:19:22

value that should be shared.

Speaker: 00:19:24

And I think this takes the whole, process out of doing

Speaker: 00:19:27

it manually, doing it manually.

Speaker: 00:19:28

I can take a lot of work.

Speaker: 00:19:30

It can take a lot of time because some podcasts episodes are an hour long.

Speaker: 00:19:33

And if you listened to them manually, which sometimes, , people have to do

Speaker: 00:19:37

to edit them the right way, edit them when you need detailed show notes,

Speaker: 00:19:41

you know, you do have to listen to it because you have to get the context

Speaker: 00:19:44

of the words and then you have to be able to convey what's, the important,

Speaker: 00:19:48

like the questions, the answers in a.

Speaker: 00:19:51

Blog format, that's easy and consumable for the audience.

Speaker: 00:19:55

So I'd love that, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Speaker: 00:19:57

And if you have any specific ideas on how podcasters can use hallelujah.

Speaker: 00:20:03

Well, this actually goes into the other thing we were talking before

Speaker: 00:20:06

the show, which is social audio marketing and smart speaker marketing.

Speaker: 00:20:11

And, and like I said we realized that social media is like the lowest

Speaker: 00:20:13

hanging fruit and has to be perfected.

Speaker: 00:20:15

It has to be intelligent and then blogging after that.

Speaker: 00:20:19

But one of the things that we realized last year is that there's

Speaker: 00:20:22

just so many smart speakers.

Speaker: 00:20:23

I mean, I have to be next to them.

Speaker: 00:20:25

I have actually three next to me.

Speaker: 00:20:27

I have 11 in my house, but the point is that there are so many around the world.

Speaker: 00:20:31

They're nearly half a billion that an ecosystem like this one.

Speaker: 00:20:34

And I'm about to show you just doesn't, isn't easy to access for small businesses.

Speaker: 00:20:38

So you're seeing a typical living room scene where there's a fire TV.

Speaker: 00:20:43

There's a couple of smaller speakers in the living room, right?

Speaker: 00:20:47

The only apps you see on the top left are the YouTubes and the

Speaker: 00:20:50

Netflix and the Hulu's of the world.

Speaker: 00:20:52

But we know that there are so many, there are hundreds of millions of

Speaker: 00:20:55

devices called smart speakers and smart speaker marketing is on the rise.

Speaker: 00:20:59

So then why are we not at the core of it like podcasters or coffee shops?

Speaker: 00:21:03

So this is actually a video demo that I always, you know, show, which is an

Speaker: 00:21:07

example of my living room in New York.

Speaker: 00:21:10

And again, all the apps you see here are multibillion-dollar broadcasting apps, but

Speaker: 00:21:13

you don't see Joe coffee shop on there, or you don't see dimples, marketing,

Speaker: 00:21:17

mesmerizing tips and tricks on here.

Speaker: 00:21:20

And it's because it's very, very expensive to create an app or a skill

Speaker: 00:21:24

for these devices and then have the infrastructure and the, the ability to

Speaker: 00:21:28

broadcast have advertising or links and things like it just very, very difficult.

Speaker: 00:21:33

So what we did is that.

Speaker: 00:21:35

Why don't we actually start working with the Alexa team and make it so

Speaker: 00:21:38

simple that you and I can create an app or a scale in two seconds.

Speaker: 00:21:42

So all you have to do is tell us your title while the app or

Speaker: 00:21:44

skill the background, the colors, the logos, all of that stuff.

Speaker: 00:21:48

And then once Amazon approves you, this is a skill that we, we got approved for.

Speaker: 00:21:52

Hello, Wolfie.

Speaker: 00:21:53

And then you can start, you can be like, Hey, this is simple.

Speaker: 00:21:55

This is the one-on-ones on a Monday on how to get the maximum out of

Speaker: 00:21:58

clubhouse in terms of marketing.

Speaker: 00:21:59

And if you want to learn more, click on the link to the left on

Speaker: 00:22:02

your television or your smart.

Speaker: 00:22:04

And join my two-day masterclass, where me and Gary Vaynerchuck are

Speaker: 00:22:07

going to show you exactly how to blow away your audience on social audio.

Speaker: 00:22:11

Well then guess what?

Speaker: 00:22:12

The customer can click on the link and go to your website in this case,

Speaker: 00:22:15

it's hello, Wolfie and subscribe, or buy and convert and, sign up

Speaker: 00:22:19

what they, whatever they want to do.

Speaker: 00:22:20

But this is happening on the television.

Speaker: 00:22:22

Now it works really well on the smart speakers as well.

Speaker: 00:22:25

The one that.

Speaker: 00:22:26

Touch friendly.

Speaker: 00:22:26

They're called echo shows.

Speaker: 00:22:27

They're all a lot of different variations, but the point is, you can tap your

Speaker: 00:22:31

way through, you can buy on the speaker and it just made it so simple to, to be

Speaker: 00:22:35

able to get directly to that customer.

Speaker: 00:22:37

Now it's we call it DTC broadcasting direct to consumer broadcasting.

Speaker: 00:22:41

Okay.

Speaker: 00:22:41

And now I am like totally blown away like Mike girl.

Speaker: 00:22:45

Honestly, , and the thing is I am actually an educated consumer.

Speaker: 00:22:49

About Alexa skills and all that, because I do have a client

Speaker: 00:22:53

that has some very prominent podcasts and that's what they do.

Speaker: 00:22:57

And that's what they talk about.

Speaker: 00:22:59

And they even do like once a day, , releases about Alexa

Speaker: 00:23:02

skills and how to build different skills for different things.

Speaker: 00:23:05

Now, I haven't dived into building any of my own skills, but what

Speaker: 00:23:09

you just laid out right there.

Speaker: 00:23:10

I'm like, okay, sign me up.

Speaker: 00:23:12

Where do I get the information?

Speaker: 00:23:13

Is there a video to watch to learn how to do this stuff?

Speaker: 00:23:16

How do we know.

Speaker: 00:23:17

Because I'm like that is cutting edge technology And that's what we say on our

Speaker: 00:23:23

sales calls is that we want the customer at the center of not only the content

Speaker: 00:23:26

creation when it comes to using the platform, but when it comes to building

Speaker: 00:23:29

our company from the very beginning, we said, equity crowd funding should

Speaker: 00:23:33

be, are a part of our business model.

Speaker: 00:23:34

And we haven't, you may have spoken about this on clubhouse a few times.

Speaker: 00:23:37

The reason why equity crowdfunding is a part of our business model is because

Speaker: 00:23:40

not only can the dimples of the world.

Speaker: 00:23:42

By our software for 49, a year, 99, a year, up to 49 a year,

Speaker: 00:23:46

depending on what plan you want.

Speaker: 00:23:48

But then you can invest in the company as low as a hundred bucks, get

Speaker: 00:23:51

ownership and have a, you know, have a sense of ownership in the company

Speaker: 00:23:54

because you have a promise to shares.

Speaker: 00:23:56

And then if you become an affiliate, you potentially could make a little

Speaker: 00:24:00

bit or all of that investment back and still have the upside.

Speaker: 00:24:03

So eventually as we scale and we grow, we've already tripled our

Speaker: 00:24:06

valuation in the last few years.

Speaker: 00:24:08

You can also win right alongside us.

Speaker: 00:24:10

Now, I don't know any of our competitors that give shares away or

Speaker: 00:24:14

give, mentorship and coaching calls.

Speaker: 00:24:16

If you have that baked into our product or really care about where the small business

Speaker: 00:24:19

owner is coming from, because they don't have a degree in this field, we take those

Speaker: 00:24:23

or a Facebook group to listen to them.

Speaker: 00:24:25

We take all of those little touch points very seriously.

Speaker: 00:24:27

So obviously if you want to learn more, go to dot com slash hello Wolfie, and

Speaker: 00:24:31

anyone can invest as low as a hundred.

Speaker: 00:24:33

And I will add that link in the show notes, but I mean,

Speaker: 00:24:36

I think it's amazing though.

Speaker: 00:24:38

You put so much thought into how you run your business and what

Speaker: 00:24:42

you offer because you're right.

Speaker: 00:24:44

I went on the website, I saw that.

Speaker: 00:24:45

And I haven't seen anyone else, that I know of do that.

Speaker: 00:24:49

And I think that's impressive because you really are making the community a part of

Speaker: 00:24:54

what you're creating and you're bringing them in as a community to be inclusive.

Speaker: 00:24:59

And you're asking for their feedback and you're also.

Speaker: 00:25:02

Going above and beyond to really onboard them and coach them.

Speaker: 00:25:05

Because when I look on your website, you know, people can schedule a demo.

Speaker: 00:25:09

So if they're like overwhelmed by social media, which a lot of maybe small

Speaker: 00:25:13

business owners are, you know, they can schedule a demo and they can get an entire

Speaker: 00:25:17

walkthrough and they'll understand what the capabilities are of hello, Wolfie

Speaker: 00:25:22

and what it can do and how they can use.

Speaker: 00:25:24

Specifically also, for their unique needs, because there's so many

Speaker: 00:25:29

different functions and, features of it, but they just need to figure out

Speaker: 00:25:33

what's gonna work best for, for their business model and their business.

Speaker: 00:25:37

Right.

Speaker: 00:25:37

So, let's talk about those.

Speaker: 00:25:39

What are some of the platforms that are integrated within that they can share

Speaker: 00:25:44

to on social media, which platforms are.

Speaker: 00:25:46

So Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram there are like the, the

Speaker: 00:25:50

core and Tik TOK are the core social media integrations that are currently

Speaker: 00:25:55

available and all the roadmap is actually right in our settings page so that our

Speaker: 00:25:59

customers can see what we're working on.

Speaker: 00:26:01

What is further along in terms of development and also integrations

Speaker: 00:26:06

like Snipley or a wave video.

Speaker: 00:26:08

Those are coming down the road as well.

Speaker: 00:26:10

So.

Speaker: 00:26:10

And it's not just the social media side.

Speaker: 00:26:12

We have Shopify on the, in the works as well.

Speaker: 00:26:14

So you can automate your blog posts there.

Speaker: 00:26:16

And then as far as entertainment's concern, obviously Alexa capabilities

Speaker: 00:26:19

are already there, but then we're thinking about doing YouTube Twitch.

Speaker: 00:26:23

We're seeing a lot of people who are also in clubhouse.

Speaker: 00:26:25

They they're also Twitch influencers.

Speaker: 00:26:27

So creating a little module on their profiles, where they can sell

Speaker: 00:26:29

and schedule content is going to be very, very important for them.

Speaker: 00:26:33

Google my business just came out a couple of months ago in our platform as well.

Speaker: 00:26:37

So we're listening to our customers and clients.

Speaker: 00:26:40

My whole, my whole motto is do 90% of your spend 90% of your time, or,

Speaker: 00:26:44

resources and things, really well.

Speaker: 00:26:46

Like social media, for example, and then 10% or 15% of your time and things that

Speaker: 00:26:49

have, you know, moonshots essentially.

Speaker: 00:26:52

And that's where Alexa came out.

Speaker: 00:26:54

That's where our Google Chrome extension came out of.

Speaker: 00:26:56

The augmented reality application is in that we have a couple

Speaker: 00:27:00

of other things as well.

Speaker: 00:27:00

So that's how we divvy up our resources and continues to listen.

Speaker: 00:27:04

That is really exciting.

Speaker: 00:27:05

I'm curious to know, building this out and just, presenting your concept to

Speaker: 00:27:10

investors and you know, when you're trying to raise money and letters of, of the, I

Speaker: 00:27:15

guess, objections that you got, that you had to overcome to get to where you are.

Speaker: 00:27:20

Yeah, it's a, it's funny, no matter how much money you're making month

Speaker: 00:27:24

over month, there's, there's always an investor or two that wants more.

Speaker: 00:27:28

But And at the end of the day, we're looking for investors who have conviction.

Speaker: 00:27:31

They are able to write checks.

Speaker: 00:27:33

They actually want to write checks.

Speaker: 00:27:35

And, and they want to be part of something that is just categorically different.

Speaker: 00:27:39

And we've been very blessed to see raised nearly 1.3 million so far in funding, more

Speaker: 00:27:43

than well over half of that came through.

Speaker: 00:27:46

The public markets, who are our customers and through equity crowdfunding.

Speaker: 00:27:50

So we're very proud of that.

Speaker: 00:27:51

And I think that's going to be the way we continue doing things,

Speaker: 00:27:54

letting our customers invest, letting them be the biggest voices.

Speaker: 00:27:57

But we were very fortunate to have a couple of funds invested, a

Speaker: 00:28:00

couple of angel investors as well.

Speaker: 00:28:02

And the constantly we're always asked, you know, how fast can you grow?

Speaker: 00:28:04

How can I add more fuel to the flame?

Speaker: 00:28:07

And we're telling them we're already up.

Speaker: 00:28:08

I think it was 63% month over month.

Speaker: 00:28:11

63.7% month over month as a pride.

Speaker: 00:28:14

Now the second, cause we got a few hundred dollars in sales while I was

Speaker: 00:28:17

on the call or I'm on this podcast.

Speaker: 00:28:19

And so that's what we're looking for is, how do we tell

Speaker: 00:28:22

investors that this is working?

Speaker: 00:28:24

We need more capital to make it work even faster and then

Speaker: 00:28:26

reduce the timeline for success.

Speaker: 00:28:28

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:28:28

Sometimes you need more con commitment or conviction than, than others.

Speaker: 00:28:32

I think that's a great formula though.

Speaker: 00:28:33

And congrats on that.

Speaker: 00:28:34

Because that is huge for some, startups, like it's even hard to,

Speaker: 00:28:37

to get the funding, but I think when you come up with a concept that's

Speaker: 00:28:41

unique and it can help so many people

Speaker: 00:28:44

ears are listening.

Speaker: 00:28:45

You know, people are more receptive to that.

Speaker: 00:28:47

But what I mean, I just think if you've done all of this and the amount

Speaker: 00:28:51

of time that you have, I can't wait to see like where Helen Wolfie is

Speaker: 00:28:54

going to be like 12 months from now.

Speaker: 00:28:56

Like it's going to be on steroids.

Speaker: 00:28:58

Like it's going to be a whole other level.

Speaker: 00:29:00

It, is it for people to sign up?

Speaker: 00:29:02

I mean, the lowest plan is in our funnels is 49 for the year, but really if you're

Speaker: 00:29:07

a small business owner or if you to do a lot of things on LinkedIn, you

Speaker: 00:29:10

really want to get the 99 for the year.

Speaker: 00:29:12

But again, it's like an expensive reserved Starbucks coffee a month

Speaker: 00:29:18

and it'll do all of your stuff.

Speaker: 00:29:19

Your social, your blog, your smart.

Speaker: 00:29:21

So your social audio smart speaker marketing.

Speaker: 00:29:24

But we want to keep it low because a lot of our customers, are trying

Speaker: 00:29:28

to recover from the pandemic.

Speaker: 00:29:30

They are choosing between this solution and food or a bill or two.

Speaker: 00:29:35

And so we know small business around the world, which is 70% of major economies.

Speaker: 00:29:39

They need to be given a chance.

Speaker: 00:29:41

They need to be given a sense of hope.

Speaker: 00:29:43

And so we're keeping our prices low.

Speaker: 00:29:44

And then on the other hand, from a business model standpoint, You know,

Speaker: 00:29:47

in addition to the equity crowdfunding, allowing them to be shareholders, we

Speaker: 00:29:51

want to make sure that they can really, turn around their businesses, start

Speaker: 00:29:55

a business, make a self-sustainable level, residual income or main

Speaker: 00:29:59

source of income for themselves.

Speaker: 00:30:00

And a lot of our age, our customers are actually agencies or there are podcasts

Speaker: 00:30:05

who launched their podcast relatively early on in the last few months.

Speaker: 00:30:09

And they just looking to make it, they're looking to make it on or on

Speaker: 00:30:12

work from home and remotely and things.

Speaker: 00:30:15

Yeah, I get that.

Speaker: 00:30:17

You should actually, I don't know if you've heard of, I mean, I know CNN

Speaker: 00:30:20

clubhouse, I don't know if you've heard of the new wisdom app, but there's

Speaker: 00:30:23

another audio game player you should actually come in do a room, join

Speaker: 00:30:28

me as a guest in one of my rooms because I do a lot on podcasting and

Speaker: 00:30:33

then, because it's a replay, they can actually listen to the whole thing.

Speaker: 00:30:36

And, by then what I'll do is I'll actually sign up.

Speaker: 00:30:39

For it.

Speaker: 00:30:40

So then I can test it out myself and then virtual hugs, and then

Speaker: 00:30:45

I'll give ideas, I'll give actual strategies, like marketing strategies

Speaker: 00:30:48

of how podcasters can use it.

Speaker: 00:30:50

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:30:51

Cause they always listen when I do rooms on that kind of stuff.

Speaker: 00:30:55

So I think that would be, that'd be great.

Speaker: 00:30:56

We'll have to get that going too, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker: 00:30:59

You've put together a really stellar, technology and, , for managing social

Speaker: 00:31:03

media and I'm going to ask just because I know what the answer is, but I'm going to

Speaker: 00:31:07

ask anyway, I'm pretty sure that this just replaces any other social media platforms

Speaker: 00:31:12

that they were using before, like buffer you know, it's, it's interesting.

Speaker: 00:31:16

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:31:16

So we, we actually, so we know a lot of the founders that you mentioning

Speaker: 00:31:19

the founders of the companies you were mentioning you know, it just

Speaker: 00:31:21

happened to be, the community was so small that I ended up pitching to them

Speaker: 00:31:24

or asking for advice at some point.

Speaker: 00:31:25

So we've actually partnered with, as an integration partner with Ryan,

Speaker: 00:31:29

who's the founder of Hootsuite.

Speaker: 00:31:31

And so we're the only competitor slash co-creating partner in his app store.

Speaker: 00:31:36

I told him, Hey, a lot of your customers asking, can they use

Speaker: 00:31:39

hello, Wolfie on top of Hootsuite?

Speaker: 00:31:40

Because they do a great job in analytics.

Speaker: 00:31:42

They do a great job at streams, but we do a great job in other fields

Speaker: 00:31:45

and other distribution channels.

Speaker: 00:31:46

Right.

Speaker: 00:31:47

And so we actually, think of them as a co-creating partner.

Speaker: 00:31:50

Now, other companies like sprout and buffer and whatnot, they continue going

Speaker: 00:31:54

we're down there doing the same thing that they've been doing for a very long time.

Speaker: 00:31:57

Good on them.

Speaker: 00:31:58

They have a, in some cases, a multi-billion dollar business, but

Speaker: 00:32:01

where we are going to be in five years is going to be very different from

Speaker: 00:32:05

where these companies are going down.

Speaker: 00:32:07

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker: 00:32:09

But one of the things I did want to mention is a lot of our customers

Speaker: 00:32:13

tend to be women led businesses.

Speaker: 00:32:14

And so we're trying to figure out if your listeners , have any advice or tips.

Speaker: 00:32:18

We are trying to figure out how do we reach more women led businesses.

Speaker: 00:32:21

Women led enterprises that are, in the social media side

Speaker: 00:32:24

of, they need social media help.

Speaker: 00:32:26

So a lot of our businesses tend to be podcast.

Speaker: 00:32:28

On our platform, they also tend to be coaches or direct

Speaker: 00:32:31

sellers, real estate agents.

Speaker: 00:32:33

These are people literally who are like carving out incomes for themselves.

Speaker: 00:32:37

They're all entrepreneurial.

Speaker: 00:32:38

But we're, you know, if you have any advice on that, we're

Speaker: 00:32:40

always looking for feedback.

Speaker: 00:32:41

I do.

Speaker: 00:32:42

I do have a couple of things that come to mind is one, women are hanging out on.

Speaker: 00:32:47

Because it's very visual, it's about food, cooking travel.

Speaker: 00:32:52

So I think that's where you're going to find an untapped audience, because

Speaker: 00:32:56

I mean, everyone's on Instagram, right.

Speaker: 00:32:58

But Pinterest is also a crazy search engine where it can

Speaker: 00:33:03

rank your post really high.

Speaker: 00:33:04

And literally what I do in.

Speaker: 00:33:06

A dollar a day strategy to promote something.

Speaker: 00:33:09

And I get thousands of views, which is so cost-effective compared to

Speaker: 00:33:14

doing something on Facebook ads.

Speaker: 00:33:16

So Pinterest, like if you set up a Pinterest account and if you have

Speaker: 00:33:20

blog posts, which I'm sure you guys do that you've written on your website.

Speaker: 00:33:23

You can create, what's called an idea of pen and that's like the visual,

Speaker: 00:33:27

and you can create that in canva.com,

Speaker: 00:33:29

and then you can share links to different articles and you can even share different

Speaker: 00:33:34

links to like, if you have videos that you want to share are little clips, even

Speaker: 00:33:38

podcasts, episodes that you've been on.

Speaker: 00:33:40

The other question, I guess I have for you, which comes to mind, which I think

Speaker: 00:33:43

would really amazingly work in terms of reaching your target audiences.

Speaker: 00:33:48

Do you have your own podcast?

Speaker: 00:33:50

We have a, not a podcast per se, but we have a show called content masters, and

Speaker: 00:33:55

we do live sessions in our Facebook group.

Speaker: 00:33:58

We try to keep it very exclusive because then it allows our customers to

Speaker: 00:34:00

come on and say, Hey, this is dimple.

Speaker: 00:34:03

I have something to talk about.

Speaker: 00:34:04

The veterans, , chamber of commerce and how we can help other veterans

Speaker: 00:34:07

started their businesses with social media at the core of it.

Speaker: 00:34:10

Or we have, we actually have one.

Speaker: 00:34:13

Very sweet customer Edgar from life for paws.com.

Speaker: 00:34:17

And he literally came to all of our networking calls and it has

Speaker: 00:34:21

been coming to all our networking calls for the last few weeks.

Speaker: 00:34:23

And he started with a Shopify store and every single week he'd built it up.

Speaker: 00:34:26

And now he's at a point where he's scaling so fast that he's not only doing really

Speaker: 00:34:30

well on the social media automation side, but he needs introductions

Speaker: 00:34:33

to investors and things like that.

Speaker: 00:34:35

So it's like those stories we'd love captivating.

Speaker: 00:34:37

So we just go live using streamers in our Facebook groups.

Speaker: 00:34:40

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:34:40

Do you ever, maybe I think it would be really cool if you did a podcast about.

Speaker: 00:34:46

Okay.

Speaker: 00:34:48

And I will help you launch it, but you should do a podcast about

Speaker: 00:34:51

emojis because it ties in and it's directly related to your product.

Speaker: 00:34:56

And then people would totally love watching that.

Speaker: 00:34:59

And you can have different stories about emojis and the emotional.

Speaker: 00:35:04

They you know, convey and maybe how even emojis, people can misunderstand certain

Speaker: 00:35:09

emojis and which ones people get confused.

Speaker: 00:35:12

I don't know what purple hearts mean versus the difference

Speaker: 00:35:15

between that and a red heart.

Speaker: 00:35:16

I mean, I'm not 21.

Speaker: 00:35:17

Right.

Speaker: 00:35:18

But, you know, I think it would be such a fun and entertaining show.

Speaker: 00:35:21

That would be amazing.

Speaker: 00:35:23

So it's so funny, you mentioned that.

Speaker: 00:35:24

From a couple of years ago when I was on Tinder one of the matches, one of the

Speaker: 00:35:27

girls I mashed, but she actually said you're going to be, you're the emoji king.

Speaker: 00:35:31

And I have a screenshot of this from years ago, like back in college,

Speaker: 00:35:34

early days in college from Tinder.

Speaker: 00:35:36

And it's so funny because now I actually have the official patent around this

Speaker: 00:35:41

capability called the emoji recommendation system, which is funny in and of itself.

Speaker: 00:35:45

But more importantly, when we do the shows, the content masters.

Speaker: 00:35:49

You can actually see in the introduction, we have a ton of

Speaker: 00:35:53

emojis that we talk about because it just drives a lot of engagement.

Speaker: 00:35:57

Emoji, social media marketing.

Speaker: 00:35:59

So here's some ideas for you.

Speaker: 00:36:00

You can get the emoji king.com if it's available.

Speaker: 00:36:05

And so this is not live yet.

Speaker: 00:36:06

Go ahead and buy that domain before everyone hears the podcast episode.

Speaker: 00:36:11

And then they go and try to steal my idea that I just gave you.

Speaker: 00:36:14

Are you kidding?

Speaker: 00:36:15

We'll call it emoji social media marketing.

Speaker: 00:36:17

Even if you're not sure if you want to do it, just go get the domain

Speaker: 00:36:20

from name, cheaper, Bluehost.

Speaker: 00:36:22

'cause one day you might decide to do a show.

Speaker: 00:36:26

And the thing is your show doesn't have to be super long.

Speaker: 00:36:28

You could do episodes once a week that are just like five to 10 minutes.

Speaker: 00:36:32

You talk about different emojis.

Speaker: 00:36:34

I mean, how many emojis did you tell me you have like over

Speaker: 00:36:37

that people can use in hello?

Speaker: 00:36:39

A little bit.

Speaker: 00:36:39

There are a lot.

Speaker: 00:36:40

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:36:40

I mean, officially, according to unit Cove, which is like the FDA of text-based

Speaker: 00:36:44

communication they're over 3000.

Speaker: 00:36:46

I think that show would be a big hit.

Speaker: 00:36:48

I would live.

Speaker: 00:36:50

I would listen.

Speaker: 00:36:51

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:36:51

You asked her advice.

Speaker: 00:36:52

I gave you some, I gave you some tips.

Speaker: 00:36:53

All right.

Speaker: 00:36:54

So we're down to the last few minutes.

Speaker: 00:36:55

I know you got to jump off here.

Speaker: 00:36:57

So, you know, quick question is where do you see the future of AI?

Speaker: 00:37:01

A lot of founders in the tech industry will, or I guess in venture capital,

Speaker: 00:37:05

people will say the same thing as that.

Speaker: 00:37:07

They'll give you a very technical answer and they'll give you a very

Speaker: 00:37:09

like feature product, rich answer.

Speaker: 00:37:13

But for me, it's, it's an augmentation.

Speaker: 00:37:15

It's an augmentation to what you could do in a week, but you can get it done

Speaker: 00:37:20

in two minutes so that you have time to do what you would have done in a

Speaker: 00:37:24

year in that week's worth of time.

Speaker: 00:37:26

Right.

Speaker: 00:37:27

And then you can just perpetually do better.

Speaker: 00:37:29

beep beep out of your competition and just win at being a small business owner.

Speaker: 00:37:34

So I think that's where all of the technology has to, kind of converge.

Speaker: 00:37:37

Now there's a style of this debate that we can have from an ethical perspective.

Speaker: 00:37:41

There's a side of this debate we can have from an automation perspective, to what

Speaker: 00:37:44

extent is too much automation too much and, and whatnot, but at the end of the

Speaker: 00:37:48

day, so long as it helps to have business owner do more, faster and cheaper and

Speaker: 00:37:52

just be delighted, just have a lot of fun.

Speaker: 00:37:54

I think AI , will be a winner.

Speaker: 00:37:56

Anything short of that?

Speaker: 00:37:57

It will, it'll be all this contested.

Speaker: 00:38:00

Yeah, I look forward to it.

Speaker: 00:38:01

And I got another idea.

Speaker: 00:38:02

So whether you decide to do that podcast or not, I'd love to have you

Speaker: 00:38:05

back as a guest to do an episode.

Speaker: 00:38:08

So whenever you're down for that, you know, that's going to be a really fun

Speaker: 00:38:13

episode and I'll try to do my whole.

Speaker: 00:38:15

So I'm a little bit more before we did that one, but I think that would be fun.

Speaker: 00:38:20

And this way, you know what, like we can see how that episode does and if it

Speaker: 00:38:24

does really well, like I'll come to you and I'll say, you know what, Arjun, you

Speaker: 00:38:27

really probably should do that show before someone else the idea, go get your dope.

Speaker: 00:38:32

So you said emoji king.com.

Speaker: 00:38:35

Yeah, because you said you were called the emoji king, right?

Speaker: 00:38:38

So it looks like the emoji king doc emoji king is actually taken in 2016,

Speaker: 00:38:42

but emoji king.net is available and.io.

Speaker: 00:38:45

So maybe I'll grab those two.

Speaker: 00:38:47

You should get the IO, just do it under a.and.co to cool.

Speaker: 00:38:51

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:38:52

Yeah.

Speaker: 00:38:54

And just make sure it's not trademarked.

Speaker: 00:38:55

And then Hey, go for it.

Speaker: 00:38:57

So how can people get ahold of you?

Speaker: 00:39:00

What's the best way for people to reach out or how do they

Speaker: 00:39:03

get their demo of hello?

Speaker: 00:39:05

Yeah, just go to hell wolfie.com.

Speaker: 00:39:07

It's H E L L O w O F y.com.

Speaker: 00:39:11

And my email's on there.

Speaker: 00:39:12

My phone is on there.

Speaker: 00:39:13

Like I have all my information's on there.

Speaker: 00:39:16

And just tell us a little bit about your small business, your underdog,

Speaker: 00:39:18

small business and how we can help you.

Speaker: 00:39:20

If there are certain features you want us to add into the marketing

Speaker: 00:39:22

platform, there are certain things you like us to do for you.

Speaker: 00:39:26

And obviously join our Facebook group as well, because that's

Speaker: 00:39:28

where all the feedback is going in.

Speaker: 00:39:30

And other people can say.

Speaker: 00:39:31

I agree with that, or maybe we should do it this way.

Speaker: 00:39:34

And then that itself has a direct impact on our roadmap.

Speaker: 00:39:37

And then last but not least, if you consider investing in the company, as

Speaker: 00:39:40

we scale, we want to make sure all our underdogs are scaling with us as well.

Speaker: 00:39:43

So we raised about 26,000 so far as of this recording, but we're, obviously

Speaker: 00:39:47

trying to get to the next level, which is 50 K the next level, which is a hundred K.

Speaker: 00:39:51

So anyone can become a shareholder.

Speaker: 00:39:52

And then those will give you certain perks into hello, Wolfie.

Speaker: 00:39:56

And what is the name of the Facebook group?

Speaker: 00:39:58

Again?

Speaker: 00:39:59

Content masters by hello Wolfie.

Speaker: 00:40:01

Okay, perfect.

Speaker: 00:40:02

I will link it in the show notes for everyone who is tuning in, this

Speaker: 00:40:06

was such a delight to have you on the mesmerizing marketing podcast.

Speaker: 00:40:10

And who knows, like pretty soon you'll have your own podcast.

Speaker: 00:40:13

I can't wait.

Speaker: 00:40:14

Cause I love to inspire people to launch their own show.

Speaker: 00:40:16

I do have a one day launch or podcasts bootcamp coming up in November.

Speaker: 00:40:20

So if you want.

Speaker: 00:40:22

We are there to do that.

Speaker: 00:40:23

And we've got to get you for a room on wisdom one of these days.

Speaker: 00:40:29

I followed you on Instagram.

Speaker: 00:40:30

So follow me back there because I don't know if you have time to read your emails.

Speaker: 00:40:34

Cause I noticed the same email address I have is the same one

Speaker: 00:40:37

that's on the company website.

Speaker: 00:40:38

So you probably have hundreds of emails a day.

Speaker: 00:40:40

We do, but I respond to all of them.

Speaker: 00:40:42

In fact, I learned this from a very well-known entrepreneur.

Speaker: 00:40:46

Who's his name is sir Martin Sorrell.

Speaker: 00:40:48

And so.

Speaker: 00:40:49

He built the largest holding company of agencies in the world WPP.

Speaker: 00:40:53

And so till this day, if you email him, he'll respond to you within a couple of

Speaker: 00:40:56

minutes or a couple of hours, and it's astonishing, like how fast he responds.

Speaker: 00:41:00

So I take that very seriously.

Speaker: 00:41:02

That is amazing.

Speaker: 00:41:03

See, that just shows me that you have integrity and it's a

Speaker: 00:41:08

different way of running a business.

Speaker: 00:41:09

Right?

Speaker: 00:41:09

I think those things.

Speaker: 00:41:12

A lot.

Speaker: 00:41:13

I mean, if you're going to put an email address there for the public, then yeah.

Speaker: 00:41:16

You should respond.

Speaker: 00:41:17

Right.

Speaker: 00:41:18

But then a lot of businesses just don't do that.

Speaker: 00:41:20

They don't want, we do the same thing in our Facebook group as well.

Speaker: 00:41:23

Like if you come in and say, Hey, I'm having some issues with this, or, Hey,

Speaker: 00:41:26

this is a great feature I want to request.

Speaker: 00:41:28

You will actually see again for your viewers who are joining the group.

Speaker: 00:41:30

You'll see actually me.

Speaker: 00:41:32

A bedroom background, a garden background, the backyard central park, me with my

Speaker: 00:41:37

dog, walking around, I'm responding and saying, Hey, dimple, I love that feedback.

Speaker: 00:41:40

And I'm going to add it to the roadmap or I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Speaker: 00:41:43

I'm going to make sure that we escalate this and it doesn't matter because

Speaker: 00:41:46

the other thing we learned from last year is that it doesn't matter.

Speaker: 00:41:48

What's in your background.

Speaker: 00:41:49

It doesn't matter the dog noises or birds chirping and whatnot so

Speaker: 00:41:53

long as you're moving forward.

Speaker: 00:41:54

And I think that habit or that approaches has, is going to stay.

Speaker: 00:41:57

And so we just take videos and respond to.

Speaker: 00:42:00

Oh, my God.

Speaker: 00:42:00

I love that.

Speaker: 00:42:01

That is amazing.

Speaker: 00:42:02

You are so modern and you're doing everything in a very innovative

Speaker: 00:42:06

way, which I absolutely love.

Speaker: 00:42:08

And I hope to see you again on my podcast for the next show, and we'll

Speaker: 00:42:11
