Well I hope to get some more episodes out soon, but for the moment..  Well I guess you can imagine…  In this entry I talk about the future of this podcast, and my “Media Artist and Thinker Matt Searles” Podcast

The Asymmetric Biz Cult podcast has been a little faded lately.. basically I need to post the show notes, and all that, of all the old episodes.. and then get to the knew episodes… 3 of which are done.. minus show notes.  In the mean time my other podcast is active.

The Matt Searles podcast and blog is sorta more personal, at least theoretically.  It’s kind of the story of my life as an artist.  A story who’s plot, as you might imagine, has just grown a hell of a lot thicker with my mom’s passing.  What might be valuable for you over there is..

Well you might say its PR for myself as an artist.  But what I’m talking about is very first person as I go about stuff.  So for instance I’ve been doing a lot of music production lately, so I’ll talk about that production..  In a level of detail that basically makes it sorta like tutorials.  What’s special about it, I think, is that these are tutorials that take you into the creative process of an artist.  So its like.. the creative choices of your vision often have various technical ramifications..  so lets go explore those issues..  I think all too often tutorials, and what not.. are technical without the art.. and ultimately the technical is a part of the language that its the artist’s job to make poetry with.

Another thing that ought to be interesting in that in the Asymmetric Biz Cult podcast I try and talk about art, philosophy, and business.. in the social media context, and what it means for us as artist.. or creative content creators.. but over there, at the Matt Searles podcast and blog, there you can see it in practice.. or you can see me trying to execute on these ideas.. So my hope is that these things go together in a way that makes the whole more then the sum of the parts.

On that note I should tell you that I have free music to give away.  Music who’s production, as you might imagine, I talk about over in the other podcast and blog.  I just finished a CD project to make a CD in the month of November.

The journey now will be to try and get as many people to hear that as possible, and hopefully get feed back on it.  The other challenge is for me to bring my music to the next level.  And of course, eventually, to actually make some money from these efforts.

So anyway, wish me luck..  I wish this post was a little better written.. But I’m a little out of it on account of loosing my mom a few hours back.. I’m still kind of in shock..  So to say I’m a little off may game is a little bit of an over statement.

Actually.. our next episodes, to one extent or another, will probably deal with the subject of my mom.  Part 2 of a trip to Mark’s land features me sorta breaking down at the thought of loosing her, and suggestion that Mark and Evan are family.. and how I’ll need this.. which is a part of that thicker plot.  It seems like this is probably a useful topic of conversation.. because social media is about a lot more the monetization, and this broader spectrum is something that we need to explore as artists.

Another episode that I just did some recording for, just before the news of my mom came, was on the importants of humanity in social media..  Humanity from a strategic point of view, kinda sorta… That its my belief that developing our humanity will make us more successful in social media…

So I view all this stuff as interrelated… and what to approach it in a holistic kind of way… So tell me what you think….  feed back is always welcome here.

Ok, so with that I’ll publish.
