WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.760 Q: Hello everyone and welcome to Podcast Italiano. Today's is a very special 00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:11.940 video because we have Erika after I don't know how long in a video that is not a vlog. 00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:14.160 E: Yes, that's right. Hello to all. 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.240 Q: And do you want to explain the reason for your appearance, 00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:20.760 your return here on the YouTube channel? 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.570 E: Yes, in a few days, exactly the… 00:00:25.570 --> 00:00:31.660 D: The 22nd of September, so maybe it has already passed for you who are watching this video. 00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:37.360 It is OK. It will be the birthday of Podcast Italiano, 5 years after the podcast's 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:44.320 opening . And so to celebrate this anniversary - in any case five years is a long time 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:54.610 - Davide decided to… do a Q&A, questions and answers, with your questions obviously, 00:00:54.610 --> 00:01:00.910 curiosity about the project more than anything else and he needed someone to read the questions. 00:01:00.910 --> 00:01:05.650 D: Exactly. We already made a video like that two years ago, if you remember. 00:01:05.650 --> 00:01:11.605 E: I remember a video in which we lit a candle on an improvised dessert. 00:01:11.605 --> 00:01:14.890 D: Yes, even today we should do something like this. 00:01:14.890 --> 00:01:15.490 It is OK. 00:01:15.490 --> 00:01:21.640 But before moving on to the questions I want to thank today's sponsor, which is NordVPN. A 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:28.840 very special sponsor for Podcast Italiano because it has supported the project in the past months. If 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:35.350 you didn't know what a VPN is, it's a service that allows you to encrypt your internet 00:01:35.350 --> 00:01:42.730 traffic , making it both more secure and anonymous. This is important if you use public wifi 00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:49.210 , for example , in hotels, restaurants, cafes. But a VPN has many advantages for 00:01:49.210 --> 00:01:55.480 language learners like you, because by changing your location, choosing a server in another 00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:01.480 country of the world you will immediately have access to the entire catalog of entertainment services such 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:10.480 as Netflix, Rai Play, Disney +. Then you will be unlocked in front of your eyes films, 00:02:10.480 --> 00:02:18.340 TV series, contents, which were previously completely blocked. I myself recently to listen to a 00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:24.370 song by my favorite band, which was released first in Australia and New Zealand for 00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:32.860 time zone reasons, I used NordVPN from my phone and I got to hear it in advance 00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:38.660 on Spotify; this was very very nice. And by the way, you can also use NordVPN from your 00:02:38.660 --> 00:02:45.650 phone, you can connect up to six devices at the same time, and they will all go at lightning speed 00:02:45.650 --> 00:02:51.920 . Follow my link and use the PODITA code when purchasing and you will get 73% 00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:59.234 discount and 4 months free. Thanks to Nord for the support in these months and let's start with the questions. 00:02:59.234 --> 00:03:04.520 D: I have not seen them, I have not read them, Erika in the past 10 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:10.550 minutes has done a job of selection, grouping, so I'm all ears. 00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:14.930 E: I wanted to make a premise before asking you the first question and that is that you have not 00:03:14.930 --> 00:03:19.640 seen them but I have read the messages a bit and there are many people who have not 00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:24.890 asked you questions but have complimented you, they thanked you for your work, for 00:03:24.890 --> 00:03:29.975 all the things they have learned from your videos. So it seemed only right to mention them. 00:03:29.975 --> 00:03:36.740 D: And it seems only right to thank all the positive comments you have made now, 00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:42.050 on this occasion, or that you always do. It is a stereotypical phrase but without the 00:03:42.050 --> 00:03:47.960 support of an audience such a project could not exist, so thanks to you who 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.640 watch videos, listen to podcasts and support me in any way. 00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:55.430 E: Okay, so now we can start. 00:03:55.430 --> 00:03:56.420 D: Let's go. 00:03:56.420 --> 00:04:03.350 E: I'll ask you the first question which, let's say, is also the most suitable to start with because, in 00:04:03.350 --> 00:04:11.650 fact, let's start from the beginning, right? In fact, a lot of people have asked you why you 00:04:11.650 --> 00:04:17.230 decided to start with this project, right? I mention someone ... maricesar03, 00:04:18.700 --> 00:04:25.054 olgakedziora_ I think you pronounce it, sorry if I'm wrong to say your names. 00:04:25.054 --> 00:04:28.630 D: We're going to cripple them, [E: Right.] So excuse us in advance. 00:04:28.630 --> 00:04:33.760 E: Carlos Ss. And I know that someone on the Telegram group also had this question, so… 00:04:33.760 --> 00:04:42.160 Q: Telegram group of the Podcast Italiano Club, by the way. I myself was a podcast user 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:52.720 like mine and I liked using podcasts as material to learn the languages ​​I was learning and 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.810 at the time I was much more passionate about foreign languages ​​in the sense that I learned them much more 00:04:58.810 --> 00:05:04.348 actively than today [E: Yes .] and… and so I decided to do something similar simply. 00:05:04.348 --> 00:05:09.460 E: Well ... D: And I also said it in a recent video with Alberto Arrighini, I told him, 00:05:09.460 --> 00:05:17.620 he inspired me a bit because I saw that there was already a project similar to what I 00:05:17.620 --> 00:05:23.230 wanted to do. it was his and I saw it even had a Patreon page, 00:05:23.230 --> 00:05:27.070 so I had already had some dreams like [E: Yes.] “I could do a similar thing too”, 00:05:27.070 --> 00:05:31.210 so… so thanks Alberto if you're watching this video! 00:05:31.210 --> 00:05:34.810 E: But then you had this idea of ​​being able ... that is, more than an 00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:38.740 idea maybe this dream of being able to live there or was it born more as a hobby? 00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:44.620 D: Mmm. There was a bit of that dream, in the sense… I would have liked it. Don't ... 00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:49.180 E: But maybe you didn't want to say it out loud, did you? Out of luck, I don't know. 00:05:49.180 --> 00:05:56.620 D: Yeah, how to say… not… I realized that it was possible. As if to say, 00:05:56.620 --> 00:06:03.790 today I realize that you can live by opening an online project. In my field then I have seen 00:06:03.790 --> 00:06:09.280 many people doing it, I know people who have much bigger projects than mine who 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:15.152 started doing something like mine and who have companies with 10-15 employees. 00:06:15.152 --> 00:06:21.580 E: Yes, in this regard, Anton was asking you on the Telegram group if it was something, 00:06:21.580 --> 00:06:26.920 let's say, premeditated, that you had been thinking for a long time or if it was a thing of the moment. 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:31.780 Q: I've been thinking about it for a while, I don't remember if weeks or months maybe, 00:06:31.780 --> 00:06:38.620 I guess a few months before… how to say, find the courage to… do it. But if 00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:45.010 I can give some advice: if you have ideas like "I would like to carry out a project" of any kind 00:06:45.010 --> 00:06:51.430 in mind, better (if you can do it, it depends on the project), better ... better start now and do it, do 00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:57.850 n't ... don't think too much about it because one learns a lot doing things and not, how to say ... 00:06:57.850 --> 00:06:58.210 E: Meditating. 00:06:58.210 --> 00:07:00.780 D: Planning ahead. 00:07:00.780 --> 00:07:00.967 E: Yes. D: So yes. 00:07:00.967 --> 00:07:09.340 E: More or less on this topic Atallia.n asks: "Was it difficult to create the podcast, 00:07:09.340 --> 00:07:14.050 design the site and find the first listeners?" So just a little more on a practical level. 00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:20.170 D: Well yes, there are some things that one has to learn to do, like ... like making a site, 00:07:20.170 --> 00:07:26.590 managing, what do I know, the more technical aspects, but it's not that difficult, 00:07:26.590 --> 00:07:32.650 in the sense, the information is there, so today then it's easier than ever. If you want to 00:07:32.650 --> 00:07:40.000 make a podcast you can do it with platforms that simplify the process a lot [E: Yes.], So ... 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.070 E: Yes, well, even creating the sites is 00:07:42.070 --> 00:07:45.580 not [D: Yes sure.] As difficult as it could have been maybe all 'Start. 00:07:45.580 --> 00:07:49.390 D: You learn, that's why I say: you have to do these things to her, 00:07:49.390 --> 00:07:55.630 put yourself on and… and learn all these more boring aspects, but perhaps they are fundamental. 00:07:55.630 --> 00:07:59.650 E: In fact cuadernodeandre asks you: what is the impact, 00:07:59.650 --> 00:08:02.260 the biggest change that Podcast Italiano has given you? 00:08:02.260 --> 00:08:07.660 Q: Oh well, have a salary? [Laughs]. I have already said this in the past too: I 00:08:07.660 --> 00:08:14.890 have never worked in the sense of having a steady job, that is, I did a little bit while studying, 00:08:14.890 --> 00:08:20.650 but not very ... not very serious things, so this is my first real serious job. And so 00:08:20.650 --> 00:08:27.460 this is the biggest change. After university, I already had this ... this project 00:08:27.460 --> 00:08:33.712 was already underway, and so I was able to continue doing it. That's a change, to have some money. 00:08:33.712 --> 00:08:38.800 E: Well, I would say. Q: So thank you for financing my house and food. 00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:44.140 E: Daniel Scarchilli, I think I am right, asks: 00:08:44.140 --> 00:08:48.910 "What would you have liked to know that you really didn't know before starting on this path?" 00:08:48.910 --> 00:08:52.780 D: Maybe what I said before: I would have liked to have a greater awareness 00:08:52.780 --> 00:09:01.660 of the feasibility, of the feasibility of such a project, but it is something you 00:09:01.660 --> 00:09:05.500 discover along the way. So I would have liked to have had this awareness more, 00:09:05.500 --> 00:09:10.685 maybe I would have taken this type of activity more seriously from the beginning. 00:09:10.685 --> 00:09:18.350 E: From before. D: Yes, like, now I see people who have very new projects and ... they approach it 00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:23.690 with a more serious ... different seriousness, a seriousness, a more entrepreneurial mentality 00:09:23.690 --> 00:09:27.230 right from the start. It is clear that one must always have patience, if one thinks 00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:33.710 overnight of… no? Getting ... creating a salary is wrong, probably wrong. 00:09:33.710 --> 00:09:38.810 E: Well, I'll ask you a question that is perhaps my favorite from Portuguese with Leo. 00:09:38.810 --> 00:09:44.720 D: Speaking of ... Speaking of people who have started a project with a 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:50.210 very entrepreneurial mentality: there is Leo, subscribe to his channel, he 00:09:50.210 --> 00:09:56.240 has been starting his project a few months ago, less than a year and it has almost my subscribers, 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.170 in short, it is doing things very very well, so a great example. 00:10:00.170 --> 00:10:03.920 E: So yes, he actually asks you two questions. The 00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:07.280 first and most important is: "How do you get so much style?" 00:10:07.280 --> 00:10:12.050 Q: It's the power of foreign languages, isn't it? The more you learn, the 00:10:12.050 --> 00:10:16.010 more style you acquire. You see Luca Lampariello, right? 00:10:16.010 --> 00:10:21.500 E: Ah, I understand. The second question is: "How do you ..." He wrote: "Now seriously". 00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:23.420 D: Ah so it wasn't serious. 00:10:23.420 --> 00:10:25.310 It's right. Maybe he wasn't serious. 00:10:25.310 --> 00:10:27.200 Q: Now I am very offended with Leo. 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:31.490 E: Asks, "How do you make sure you don't lack video and episode ideas?" 00:10:31.490 --> 00:10:37.130 Q: Why who said I don't lack ideas? Like pretty much all content creators, 00:10:37.130 --> 00:10:40.280 I guess, I have a list with lots of ideas. Then 00:10:40.280 --> 00:10:45.305 some ideas are more easily achievable, others… others less so. 00:10:45.305 --> 00:10:49.430 E: Maybe others have been on this list since you started, 00:10:49.430 --> 00:10:54.380 I sometimes see that they are always there, never realized. 00:10:54.380 --> 00:10:59.900 D: Yes exactly, it also depends on the periods then. There are times when you feel more creative 00:10:59.900 --> 00:11:06.072 and you get more ideas, other times when you are less. Sure reading helps. 00:11:06.072 --> 00:11:07.210 E: Yes, in fact I was going to say… 00:11:07.210 --> 00:11:14.470 Q: So if one makes videos in my case on Italian or even on Italian as, 00:11:14.470 --> 00:11:18.640 in short, curiosity about the language, clearly reading helps, it gives me a lot of ideas. 00:11:18.640 --> 00:11:24.310 E: There Bressan: "What would you do different from what you have done up to here?" I mean, is there 00:11:24.310 --> 00:11:29.710 something you may regret that you would do differently anyway? 00:11:29.710 --> 00:11:36.100 Q: Maybe I would have opened first the page on Patreon, my club, which I thank, I 00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:40.420 thank all the people who are on the club because they are fundamental, 00:11:40.420 --> 00:11:45.130 their support is fundamental. I think I should have started earlier because, 00:11:45.130 --> 00:11:51.850 speaking of thinking too much about some choices and planning too much, here, 00:11:51.850 --> 00:11:56.080 for me Patreon was like that. One thing that I would have done differently, that I would have made ... 00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:02.410 made fewer commitments regarding Patreon, because I do a lot of things on Patreon 00:12:02.410 --> 00:12:08.050 which is what makes it work in my opinion, because there are 800 people today, but 00:12:08.050 --> 00:12:12.370 it also takes me a lot time and therefore I cannot do other things that I would like to do or in any case it is more 00:12:12.370 --> 00:12:19.750 difficult. And I still don't learn from… from that because I keep doing new things for the 00:12:19.750 --> 00:12:24.850 club on Patreon, the book club, it looks like I'm sponsoring now and actually doing it. 00:12:24.850 --> 00:12:35.410 E: Any excuse is good for sponsoring the Patreon. Then… he asks, "Is there anyone 00:12:35.410 --> 00:12:42.175 you wish you had on the podcast," I guess as a guest means, "but you haven't had yet?" 00:12:42.175 --> 00:12:48.040 D: For example, Alessandro Barbero, whom you may know, is a very famous historian in Italy, 00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:55.150 also very famous among those who learn the language and I contacted him a few months ago to talk 00:12:55.150 --> 00:12:59.050 about his latest book and he answered me. I thought he wouldn't answer me why, right 00:12:59.050 --> 00:13:05.200 ? I saw him as an unattainable celebrity. He replied after twenty minutes, however, refusing 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.985 in a very very polite way, saying that he really didn't have time and couldn't, so ... 00:13:09.985 --> 00:13:11.077 E: Come on, but he's a gentleman anyway ... 00:13:11.077 --> 00:13:12.490 D: A gentleman, yes. 00:13:12.490 --> 00:13:22.210 It is OK. Then there are a few people who miss the podcast a bit. In fact, Timothy asks: 00:13:22.210 --> 00:13:28.720 “Why did you stop updating the podcast? I really miss". And Atallia of which we have read, 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.060 I believe, a question already asks you before: 00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:34.532 “Will the episodes of Reflections be released again without transcriptions?”. 00:13:34.532 --> 00:13:42.640 D: Well, one came out a few days ago. Yes, I miss the podcast too. As you have seen, 00:13:42.640 --> 00:13:48.490 I have been focusing on YouTube for the past few months for various reasons. I do not know. Because… how to say, 00:13:48.490 --> 00:13:53.740 YouTube makes it easier for you to reach new audiences. Second thing: because ... 00:13:54.470 --> 00:14:00.800 because my time is limited and therefore ... I would do everything, but having to concentrate I ... 00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:06.020 I focused on YouTube. I also really like the interaction on YouTube, the fact 00:14:06.020 --> 00:14:11.810 that there are comments and all of that. Podcasts are more like… my feeling is: 00:14:11.810 --> 00:14:20.360 I do one thing, produce an episode and then throw it into the void. There is very little… very 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:25.490 little feedback, to use an Anglicism that everyone uses [E: Acknowledgment.] A lot… But actually yes, 00:14:25.490 --> 00:14:31.220 it's more a matter of… of time and not being able to do it all alone. And there were 00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:35.600 other questions too, I don't know if you wanted to stay on this topic, of people, for example, 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:42.080 if I'm not mistaken it was Lazlo on the club's Telegram chat asking if I have plans to create a 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:48.380 team or a group, how to say ... hire people and… Yes, in the future I would definitely like to, 00:14:48.380 --> 00:14:54.425 why not? Today, as if to say, I realize that it can be done, many have done it. 00:14:54.425 --> 00:15:00.980 E: Yes. Q: Oh, by the way, Vera also always on the club chat said the same thing: “If in the future, 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:08.510 the club specifically, becomes too busy, would you hire someone to… to 00:15:08.510 --> 00:15:13.940 help you? What would be your doubts or… or risks if Podcast Italiano 00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:19.250 became a company with employees? What would you do to keep the essence as it is today? " 00:15:19.250 --> 00:15:25.370 I don't really worry too much about… about this thing, that if I hired Podcast Italiano 00:15:25.370 --> 00:15:31.970 people it would lose its essence. I don't believe it, I don't frankly fear it, 00:15:31.970 --> 00:15:38.090 I think ... that is, many do. And… how to say… yes, it becomes a more professional thing, maybe. 00:15:38.090 --> 00:15:43.130 E: So you wouldn't be, let's say, jealous of the project, like of… I don't know, 00:15:43.130 --> 00:15:45.827 sharing your creature, your child. 00:15:45.827 --> 00:15:50.330 D: I don't know, I should see but I don't think so. I honestly do not believe, on the contrary, 00:15:50.330 --> 00:15:54.830 I believe that the advantages would be much much greater, in the sense, 00:15:54.830 --> 00:16:00.890 the fact of not having to kill me, do everything myself. Then I think I'd kill myself anyway because 00:16:00.890 --> 00:16:04.910 in the end if you don't do some things you can always do others [E: Yes.] And then… 00:16:04.910 --> 00:16:09.341 E: You can always find a way to fill every moment. 00:16:09.341 --> 00:16:13.520 D: Yes. E: Then I kept the most interesting question a little pending 00:16:13.520 --> 00:16:19.610 . In fact, many have asked for it. I don't even know if I'll be able to read 00:16:19.610 --> 00:16:25.880 all the names because it's a super popular question. Everyone wants to know things like if you've ever 00:16:25.880 --> 00:16:31.310 thought about quitting the project, if you've had a hard time, what your difficulties were. 00:16:31.310 --> 00:16:37.310 Q: Well, surely in the beginning there were a few months when I didn't upload anything. The first few years 00:16:37.310 --> 00:16:45.360 when I didn't do it professionally there was certainly some moment of defeat ... 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:51.090 No, not discouragement because in any case I wasn't even so tied (to the project) [E: Yes.] And therefore, 00:16:51.090 --> 00:16:57.660 how to say, not I published nothing for months and I didn't care. Since I have been doing it 00:16:57.660 --> 00:17:04.050 professionally and it's my job, so since ... the end of 2019, let's say, surely there have 00:17:04.050 --> 00:17:09.990 been times when I was in a darker mood, I saw things more negatively, 00:17:09.990 --> 00:17:16.020 but I think it's normal in any job. For me, 2020 actually went very well, even though 00:17:16.020 --> 00:17:24.750 the world was totally crazy [E: Yes.] And there was pandemic pandemonium. This year, 00:17:24.750 --> 00:17:29.550 2021 has been more difficult for me, it has been more difficult to keep motivation high, 00:17:29.550 --> 00:17:35.790 make a video a week or so, find topics to talk about, 00:17:35.790 --> 00:17:41.760 as Leo said. It wasn't actually as easy as it might seem. The lockdown then, 00:17:41.760 --> 00:17:47.130 always working here at home all the time, even that is something that sooner or later I will have to 00:17:47.130 --> 00:17:53.310 change because I am too sedentary. I live in this room that… in this 00:17:53.310 --> 00:17:57.630 apartment which is too small to do everything, work, live, etc., so… 00:17:57.630 --> 00:18:01.920 E: But I don't think you ever thought of leaving everything. 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:07.370 D: Quitting doesn't, because in the end it becomes… it becomes your job, doesn't it? And this is 00:18:07.370 --> 00:18:13.632 my job, this is my… my life now. Abandoning it would mean having another life. 00:18:13.632 --> 00:18:14.775 E: Yes, really radically change. 00:18:14.775 --> 00:18:21.500 Q: And since I don't… I wouldn't know what to do but this, 00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:26.108 I wouldn't… I wouldn't want to change, I don't have a real reason to do it. 00:18:26.108 --> 00:18:32.120 Sure. D: Is it true that being something a bit special you ask yourself if it makes sense, does such a project make 00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:36.560 sense , in ten years it will still make sense, in fifteen years, in twenty years 00:18:36.560 --> 00:18:41.150 I will still make videos on YouTube? I will podc… what will I do in twenty years? It's a question that 00:18:41.150 --> 00:18:46.771 scares me if I think about it for too long, but I think it's a question everyone asks, I guess. 00:18:46.771 --> 00:18:48.342 E: Yes, indeed. D: So, that is ... 00:18:48.342 --> 00:18:53.450 E: Well, but then it's a question that in fact no one has an answer to because, 00:18:53.450 --> 00:18:59.810 I don't know, now one has desires, has aspirations, thinks he wants 00:18:59.810 --> 00:19:04.880 things that then maybe even just five years from now he won't want or want different things anymore, 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:09.620 so I don't even know if it makes sense to make such long- 00:19:09.620 --> 00:19:16.550 term plans . Maria… Gonzalez asks: "Do you find this project more interesting now than 00:19:16.550 --> 00:19:20.930 before?" I mean, do you think it got more interesting over time? Well, I hope so. 00:19:20.930 --> 00:19:28.150 D: Well, I don't know, it depends on the moments. I mean, in the beginning, just when I started in 2016 00:19:28.150 --> 00:19:35.470 I was clearly full of enthusiasm, I was excited to start this project, 00:19:35.470 --> 00:19:41.020 so [E: Sure.] Maybe that was the height of enthusiasm. Then in the following years, 00:19:41.860 --> 00:19:47.860 how to say… it was variable. Then when I really managed to make it my job, 00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:55.540 so 2019-2020, there was also there ... there was a new wave of strong enthusiasm in my opinion, 00:19:55.540 --> 00:20:00.760 I was really excited about ... doing it as a job, not having to going to college more than I hated. 00:20:01.780 --> 00:20:06.310 Now mmm ... I don't know, it's an interesting job for sure, I talk about things I like, 00:20:06.310 --> 00:20:11.699 I do things I like in general, but it's also more, like, a routine thing, I do ... 00:20:11.699 --> 00:20:13.600 E: Yes, it has become normal . 00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:21.850 D: Yes of course, in the sense… I do interesting things in a job that has many aspects of 00:20:21.850 --> 00:20:27.730 routine. I do so many things that are always the same every week, every day [E: Yes.] And so it's not 00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:31.150 like one can be [E: Sure.] Always exalted all the time [E: No, in fact.], Always happy, 00:20:31.150 --> 00:20:35.920 too if… that is, I don't think there are jobs like that. But in general maybe ... 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:41.350 E: Yes, and then in my opinion many things when you do them professionally also become 00:20:41.870 --> 00:20:47.900 anxious, right? In the sense that… that is, when something goes from being a hobby to being your 00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:54.410 job and it's the thing that actually feeds you and it also starts to become more of an anxiety, right 00:20:54.410 --> 00:20:59.630 ? That of having to perform, in fact, both a sportsman and perhaps a freelancer 00:20:59.630 --> 00:21:04.940 , of always having to perform to the maximum, of having to maintain a standard. 00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:09.920 Q: Yes, of course, then if you have an audience there is also the aspect of 00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:17.060 audience expectations and if you make videos for 50 people or for 90,000 it's different. 00:21:17.060 --> 00:21:21.680 E: Okay, now I ask you a question from AD, finally a nickname that 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:28.160 I can say easily because it is AD "If you had enough money and resources 00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:32.690 what project would you like to carry out, both related to the channel and on a personal level?" 00:21:32.690 --> 00:21:40.547 Q: Enough money and resources… which are always money resources I think, right? 00:21:40.547 --> 00:21:46.010 E: Yes, I think so, I don't know. 00:21:46.010 --> 00:21:51.350 D: Ok. I don't know, something in real life, I think, is… it would be interesting. 00:21:51.350 --> 00:21:56.120 It is OK. Q: There was also someone who asked if I intend to open the 00:21:56.120 --> 00:22:01.850 Italian Podcast hotel in the chat on Telegram because it is something I talked about, 00:22:01.850 --> 00:22:07.400 I don't remember where, that is, we also talk about it every now and then, it would be nice ... well, 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.810 I don't know if it makes economic sense to open an Italian Podcast Hotel… 00:22:11.810 --> 00:22:13.925 E: An “Italian Podcast Hotel”. 00:22:13.925 --> 00:22:19.220 D: But create live events or create, 00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:24.299 I don't know, summer camps or things… stuff like that, something in real life. 00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:27.170 E: Yes. D: Not… not that the Internet isn't real. 00:22:27.170 --> 00:22:28.307 E: Yes, but maybe not online. 00:22:28.307 --> 00:22:34.205 D: In person, in person here. If I had a million euros, I don't know what I would honestly do. 00:22:34.205 --> 00:22:38.690 E: But certainly not a project, but a nice vacation and away. 00:22:38.690 --> 00:22:42.650 D: Yes no, but… well, I would definitely hire people if I had more 00:22:42.650 --> 00:22:47.420 money. I know it's trivial but if you hire people you also have to pay them. 00:22:47.990 --> 00:22:52.670 E: Eh. Well, then to conclude a somewhat ritual question, 00:22:52.670 --> 00:22:59.150 however: both Zoek and Sara ask what are your plans for the future, 00:22:59.150 --> 00:23:03.860 Sara asks you just the usual interview question "Where do you see yourself in ten years?" 00:23:03.860 --> 00:23:11.330 Q: And also Lazlo on the chat on Telegram asked "plans for the future". We have already said a little. 00:23:11.330 --> 00:23:18.740 Hiring people would be nice, I would like to take a course, I said that before, it's something I 00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:25.100 should have done years ago because it makes economic sense. Then I don't know. The future… I don't know. 00:23:25.100 --> 00:23:29.420 In five years, ten years it is difficult to predict where I will be and what I will be doing, 00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:34.880 but it also takes a lot of organization and planning. I'm not good at these things, 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:39.890 at planning things, my planning usually doesn't go beyond seven days. 00:23:39.890 --> 00:23:45.530 E: Well, come on, but maybe you managed to improve a bit in that too, right? 00:23:45.530 --> 00:23:50.450 D: Thanks to you, among other things, that you said to me: "But D. maybe if you made a 00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:58.445 content plan for a month, maybe ... maybe this thing could help you?" 00:23:58.445 --> 00:23:59.240 E: Think what an idea! 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:04.573 Q: I've been a content creator for five years and I said: “You know that…” 00:24:04.573 --> 00:24:13.880 E: You know I've never thought about it? Q: And I want to thank you Erika because in the end you were a part ... an integral part of ... of 00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:20.420 this project, even if, how to say, sometimes you are not there for months in the podcasts, in the videos, 00:24:20.420 --> 00:24:28.160 but in the end in my opinion it is indicative of the your importance for this project is the fact 00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:34.670 that very often when people talk about this project, when they thank me they often 00:24:34.670 --> 00:24:40.910 thank you too. And so it means that… that you have been an integral and fundamental part. 00:24:40.910 --> 00:24:42.820 E: Beautiful, very beautiful. 00:24:42.820 --> 00:24:43.370 D: So thank you. 00:24:43.370 --> 00:24:47.810 E: Unfortunately yes, I would like to participate more, do more things, 00:24:47.810 --> 00:24:51.140 but unfortunately the time is limited and… 00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:54.380 Q: The truth is that he wants money and I don't pay for it. 00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:56.600 E: Yeah well, that clearly. 00:24:56.600 --> 00:25:02.750 D: Okay, enough, enough. Get the wine! Excuse is that if not what anniversary is it, what birthday 00:25:02.750 --> 00:25:08.802 is it if we don't celebrate? No but not twenty years old stuff. I wish I didn't get intoxicated. 00:25:08.802 --> 00:25:12.320 E: Well, Davide, a bottle magically appeared. 00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:20.840 Q: A blanc de blanc sparkling wine seems to me an excellent opportunity. I 00:25:20.840 --> 00:25:26.780 managed not to destroy anything. And nothing. Hear the microphone! 00:25:29.040 --> 00:25:32.850 E: It became an ASMR video. 00:25:32.850 --> 00:25:36.435 D: So what do they say in these situations, Erika? 00:25:36.435 --> 00:25:38.100 E: To yours! 00:25:38.100 --> 00:25:43.890 Q: To yours and ours and another five years of Italian Podcast. 00:25:43.890 --> 00:25:49.800 E: Cin! 00:25:49.800 --> 00:25:52.230 D: But do I close like this?
