"Can't be bothered arguing" proceeds to continue arguing and then attempts to be funny.

My thoughts exactly!

You really are acting like a dick

Lol

Thanks for the breakdown of what each show is focused on. I have been hooked since I stumbled upon some great Kona footage last year. Rinny inspires my wife, a mother of two, to keep training so she is glued to every episode. Glad you get to do what you love.

Seriously. I see putting his number out there as a sincere "I want to talk about what you don't like" Yes you can take criticism on a forum, but there is not context, and then no further discussion. A quick chat can reveal what the audience doesn't like, and what they would prefer instead. I personally find it pretty ballsy to post your number to a public forum.

There are two ways to look at every situation or action. I'm a positive person who tries to think that others are out for good things and positive results, unless something suggests otherwise. People tend to see others in their own frame of reference.

Hopefully you’ll see this before they run you off from this thread. Here is my small piece of feedback, not content related.

Is there any way to better balance the sound volume? I’ll have to turn the volume way up to hear an interview segment, then when it cuts to new scene with music it will be super loud. I’m turning volume up and down constantly as I’m watching why my daughter is in bed.

I understand it can be difficult to capture good voice audio, but an attempt to balance the levels in post would be helpful, in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

It's not one. Just one responding to your silly interpretation to his response.

If you listen to Talbot's podcast interview on the the Fat Black (https://www.trispecific.com/fb-258-talbot-cox/) he's doing everything he can to be the best he can be at his job. Including asking for feedback on this forum and Instagram. I love his motivation, dedication, and drive to keep improving. So looking forward to the Kona content this year.

I'll watch both. But I'm an American. I could be entertained by a reality show about grilled cheese.

My guess is, Lionel knows he won't take the time to capture the content. And who could blame him? If I trained like that guy, I wouldn't even have enough energy to eat. So kudos to him on contracting someone to get the job done and document the process.

Now I know what I’m having for lunch ....

Totally agree.

Brilliant!

This is exactly what I was assuming. He really wanted to document the process, but just wasn't willing/able to see it through. Thus, hire someone to do it. Brilliant.

Love the content, specially how each of the above seem to have a different approach.

I agree the T&R show is mundane at times, but isn't that real life? I like that their race reviews aren't always, "I was feeling awesome, and then I got more awesome, only to find out I am the most awesome." You can sometimes see their own fear and self-doubt about racing and training. We all have it no matter the level.

I watch Lionel and I just want to train and run through walls. That guy inspires me.

Thanks man very true. I am a listener for sure. If I thought I was the best at what I did I would be in Hollywood. haha Instead I am taking pictures of people in spandex haha. Thats why I call my self a content creator. Not a professional Photographer or videographer. I will leave that to the pros like Nils, Korupt Vision, James Ect.


I also want to thank the 3 people that called me and gave me some great feedback. Especially on Tim and Rinnys Channel, and my audio levels on videos. I am looking to make the best content possible as a one man team.


Looking forward to pushing you guys some epic content for KONA. Stay tuned. I plan on relying on you guys for the athlete questions. I should have a schedule here pretty soon. I also will be doing a ton of give aways. Trek Speed Concept to Wetsuits and also even a 2019 Ironman Entry to a race thats not sold out. :)

Feel free to reach out or light me up after any video you like or dont like. It all helps. I analyze what you guys say, Youtube analytics, as well as video avg watch time. I take all of those back to the drawling board to create more engaging content.

Also its not all about videos. A big thing the athletes hire me to do is capture Photos for their sponsors to use and help promote them and have a classy non selfie instagram feed. This is what Jan does as well. We call this a content pool. This is to give back to the sponsors and avoid weekly photoshoots that take time away from training. It would be hard to do this with "Vlogging your self type videos" We like to call it more of a knock off reality show and less a Youtube vlog. I would love to see all the athletes VLOG but I dont think they have the time, energy, personality, or creative skill set. Not everyone is Eric Lagertrom. He will even tell you its pretty hard.

Feel free to check out the media pools. Totally stole this idea from Redbull. Hoping to provide high quality media to Sponsors, Press, and Race Promoters. Feel free to use any of these images because they all promote the athletes.

Totally agree, and maybe more of the story that interests me is Rinny's comeback from pregnancy and both parents juggling their new responsibilities with Izzy.

As I'm in need of a new bike...you can draw my name.

Agree with this. Lagerstrom has it figured out and Cox's videos are all sizzle no steak.

It’s too bad Lagerstrom’s videos don’t typically get a ton of views. That guy deserves more exposure.

Well, if we're going down this route, the Vegan Cyclist's videos are incredibly entertaining. Same with Phil Gaimon's stuff. Granted, both of these guys are cyclists, but the amount of work both of them put into actually providing solid, watchable content is apparent in the finished product.

hey no worries man. I love it. Reach out any time you have advice. I am always open to hearing feedback. We never stop learning hey.

Yes Eric does have the Quality side figured out but not the content side. I agree his videos are great but the interest is low. He will tell you this as well. He is going for art. Not views. I have spoke with him many times. I am going to content and quantity. I can easily spend hours and hours and thousands of dollars on production but its going to be few episodes and less content.

You have to weigh the odds. I am doing what a guy named Casey niesat told me on the phone when i told him my idea. "Just Keep Uploading" he said quantity over quality is what grows a following. These are not productions like erics films these are just home made videos with some copyright free music. :)
