Yes, folks, me, gray haired Dave here.
Gray Hair Dave
How are you?
Gray Hair Dave
Hey.
Gray Hair Dave
I've taken a couple weeks off to try and re regroup here and re energize and I have also decided to find some new content for you and it's going to take me a couple more weeks.
Gray Hair Dave
I want you to stay tuned.
Gray Hair Dave
There will be more coming the first of the year.
Gray Hair Dave
Plan on going right back to my normal schedule, putting it out there on Wednesdays and Thursdays, Wednesdays for Boomer podcasters and Thursdays for five minutes with Gray hair Dave.
Gray Hair Dave
So as you can tell, I'm using this for both podcasts.
Gray Hair Dave
This recording, nothing's wrong.
Gray Hair Dave
I just need a little time to regroup and decide how and where we're going from here.
Gray Hair Dave
When it comes to five minutes with Gray here, Dave.
Gray Hair Dave
And when it comes to Boomer podcasters, I want to start getting into the editing portion of it and how to do that and I really need to find a way to take you to video.
Gray Hair Dave
I mean, I know what it can be done, but it's easier for me to show a little bit than it is to explain it.
Gray Hair Dave
And then I want to start talking about other things, you know, proper etiquette, proper mic usage, proper show notes, you know, and also how to interview.
Gray Hair Dave
I also want to start looking into possibly adding some guests, but that's, that's more the February, March time frame for Boomer podcasters.
Gray Hair Dave
So if you've got anything you would like to say or let me know or something you'd like to find out about, especially from Boomer podcasters, go to the websites.
Gray Hair Dave
Either five minutes of gray here, dave.com, that's the number.
Gray Hair Dave

Gray Hair Dave
Click on that.
Gray Hair Dave
You have to leave me an email address, which of course I don't give them away.

Gray Hair Dave
I have your email address also.
Gray Hair Dave
See things like that, that ding that just came through and you need to start turning off your notifications while you're recording.

Somebody sent me a text message.
Gray Hair Dave
Those are the types of things that you don't think about originally when you start.
Gray Hair Dave
So those are the things I'm going to be talking about.
Gray Hair Dave
Not just the nuts and bolts, but it's everything else that goes into it.
Gray Hair Dave
I'm looking forward to it.
