Having - A-Plan

Published: May 11, 2020, 1:17 a.m.

Intro\nRandy introduces a new plan for the podcast with a monthly, livestreamed Office 365 how-to!\nAnnouncements\n\t\u2022 Hitting up sponsors like a mad man.\n\t\u2022 Working with Focus Camera to fix an huge order mistake on the Atem Mini Pro\n\nHaving a Plan\n\t\u2022 It took an entire first season for me to have this idea sink in: Having a Plan.\n\t\t\u25cb Sure, the layout of my episodes is consistent, but the content delivery schedule is not.\n\t\t\u25cb I'm working on building out a schedule that I will adhere to.\n\t\u2022 Having a video live stream has helped me fix a couple of years that I had not, otherwise, noticed in the first season.\n\t\t\u25cb Dedicating one screen to bringing up the bullet points, is a waste of screen. I'm going to stick to the old-fashioned way of just printing out the show bullets and using my screens for streaming, rather than window switching.\n\t\u2022 So what's the "PLAN"?\n\t\t\u25cb Christa mentioned this to me, and it was something I was already doing in my professional career, every day, but not at all on the Podcast: Having a "Scheduled" something or "Monthly" something. Basically, this would be a topic on an area that I more or less base the podcast around. For example, I tend to talk a LOT about Office 365, but my Podcast is not named after it. To me, it would make perfect sense to cover an area of the quickly-evolving Microsoft 365 platform, once a month, just like do in the corporate world.\nThe New Offering\n\t\u2022 Beginning today, the 2nd Sunday of each Month, I will be doing a "Microsoft 365 How To"\n\t\t\u25cb Today I'm kicking off the first How-To, by talking about Where/How/What to buy if you don't already have Microsoft 365. I'll give my input on the different type of plans and what you may want to purchase.\n\t\t\t\xa7 First off, before doing anything, check with the company you work for.\n\t\t\t\t\u25a1 If your company uses Microsoft Products, and provides desktop office to you, it's worth checking to see if they have an Office 365 account already active for you! There is a license called an E3 license, that allows installation of the Full Microsoft Office Suite on up to 5 total machines - Yes, your home machine is allowed in most cases.\n\t\t\t\t\nClosing Remarks\n\nI'd like to thank you for putting time aside to listen to the podcast.\n\nFollow our Podcast\n\u25cf If you're a new listener to the Manly Hanley Podcast, we would love to hear from you.
