Craig, would you please demo how someone new to Office Hours can use Show Hub to find the place to get involved?

53:13find the place to get involved? I certainly could if I go to here. So right in when you come to show up, you have a couple of buttons. One is the upcoming shows. And so this will display the upcoming seven shows. You go further out. but if we just look at Friday's show, you can see down below, there's all these trainee questions or

53:46positions. And so all it takes is going here, scrolling down, you see all the trainees, you can train to be a TD or QM or train with Vic, just sign right up there. And so if I do that, it. Now I'm signed up to be a PSC trainee and someone will reach out and let me know where to show up and the link and all that sort of stuff. And I can just come and it's all about making that

54:17connection with somebody that's done it a bunch of times. They know you're a newbie and it's okay. It's like, where are you coming from? What's your experience? All right, well, here's how I do this. And your attendance is as simple as being on Zoom, just exactly what you're doing day-to-day to talk to people. There's nothing complicated about this process, right? Right. Yep.

54:37Yeah. So if you have any kind of Zoom client and you just want to pop into the classes, they're all virtual. They don't cost a penny. And they're taught by people who have done this before for a lot. And you can just, boy, if nothing else, connecting and making connections with the people of Office Hours, it's a heck of a way to learn a lot.

54:57Oh, look at this. The live crew skills. It's a little bit of a skill tree here where, you know, it's easiest to start at one of these three positions, PSC, RFI, and question manager. You just get to know a certain part of a given show. So jumping into a technical director role would be a little bit problematic because you wouldn't know what you're doing yet.

55:21So starting off from some of these, you get a well-rounded view, and then you can jump into something deeper and more specific. On the other hand, if you're a technical director who's worked only in a small station or on a religious crew or something like that, and you want to learn how to do the virtual part of that job and migrate into being able to switch on the web and things like that, it might be the ideal thing for somebody who's already involved in that.

55:48In other words, I guess what I'm saying is that there's room and allowances for everybody, no matter how little or how much you know. If you know a lot, coming in and learning how the office hour system works will do nothing but improve your ability. And, you know, I will say this. I have seen a lot of people show up on a random show and kind of you can see the spark light up in their eyes.

56:15eyes. And then three months later, they are doing that job for the office hours thing. And four or five months after that, I see them on some of the crews that have spun off from office hours where people are actually working on large commercial projects because they've proven in the field on a system like this that a lot of people know about that they're competent to doing

56:40something like virtual switching of a program via the web and things like that. So there's an almost, it's an extraordinary opportunity to learn technical skills in the real world without the kind of gatekeepers we used to have in the industry, where if you didn't know somebody at a TV station, good luck in getting your fingers on a Grass Valley switcher. It just didn't happen because nobody, well, almost nobody had those in the real world

57:08other than the people who are already in the industry. And we've all heard the stories about that. I mean, if you didn't know the right person or had the right union connection or something, you'd never get close to the equipment that you wanted to learn how to operate. That's not how we do things around here. It's been an exciting hour. Thank you all for coming and doing this.
