#SGGQA 094: Happy Mother’s Day – Talking tech and parenting with SomeGadgetMom

It’s always fun to take a sec, stop, and see how far we’ve come.

I was really excited to fly my Mom in to help produce a video for Newegg. The final vid is an awesome mashup of Trisha Hershberger talking about raising her son with tech, and my Mom talking about how things have changed since I was a kid, while we were staging a mother/son gaming showdown.

In-between setting up cameras, and playing rounds of Tetris, I though it would be fun to ask my Mom some questions about tech and parenting, and the Newegg Ninjas were able to get most of that conversation. So, I’m going to share that in a short little podcast.

#SGGQA 089: Creator Chat – Jon Rettinger and Life After TechnoBuffalo

Lot’s of our favorite online content creators are making a pivot. Change can be scary, but far too often we focus on the negative reasons why someone might be making a change, rather than looking at some of the positive aspects of trying something new.

My guest this week really doesn’t need much of an introduction. Jon Rettinger was the President and Chief Editor at TechnoBuffalo, but sought greener pastures (Get it? Buffalo? Pastures?). He wanted a return to more focused video production. What does that look like in this current age of online media?

I really wanted Jon to be a part of this semi-regular podcast series. The changes he initiated on his personal YouTUbe channel are refreshing, and for some of us deep in the weeds, there’s a lot we can learn here.
