This kickoff brought together the Holomovement core team with the Hubcast International production crew to align on the global broadcast strategy for the upcoming Wave event in Portugal. Mariko Pitts opened with introductions, framing the engagement as both an event production partnership and a long-horizon co-creation aimed at building toward a much larger global Wave in 2027.
A nice thread emerged: nearly everyone on the call works alongside their life partner, reinforcing the soul-aligned, purpose-driven nature of the collaboration.
Michael Shaun set the creative north star early (13:00): the broadcast must be interactive, not a sit-back entertainment experience. Peter affirmed this should be a brand new way people experience hybrid events, with the 2026 Wave functioning as a proof-of-concept MVP that sets up a much more ambitious 2027 global multi-hub event.
The team aligned on a two-tier content strategy:
Peter framed it clearly (15:30): "If we can successfully present that, then for next year people say 'I would love to be there, but I can buy into this program and feel the same experience.'"
Peter walked through Hubcast's run-of-show methodology, built around a Google Sheet master document that imports into Stage Timer (stagetimer.io) for live execution. The system supports:
Mariko committed to sharing the Holomovement master run of show so Hubcast can populate their template and begin building the broadcast architecture.
Peter shared a draft evening show flow:
Michael Shaun raised the option to play certain headliner keynotes (like McTaggart or Ocean Bloom) in their entirety as bonus material — a question to revisit once the main programming is locked.
The team workshopped multiple ways to break the passive viewing pattern:
Michael Shaun's key insight (31:30): every ~35–45 minutes, pause for an interactive moment. Examples discussed:
Delanne noted Mentimeter has worked beautifully on prior Hubcast broadcasts (like Riane Eisler's events) — it's a safe, low-friction way to interact without sharing a real name, and yields useful post-event analytics.
James outlined the current app stack: Webflow [tag="webflow"] front end with Supabase [tag="supabase"] handling database and authentication. Peter offered to connect James with Emilio Lopez, Hubcast's developer, to explore:
Michael Shaun wisely scoped this (35:00): MVP first — the simplest possible integration this year, with deeper integration explored only if timeline allows. James needs to finish the app first.

Peter demoed the Creator Hub ecosystem so the team could understand how Holomovement's presence would live there. Key capabilities:
The strategic framing: Hubcast's Creator Hub doesn't need to hold all of Holomovement's content — it acts as a best-in-class highlight funnel that drives audiences deeper into the Holomovement ecosystem via QR codes and links.
[technology="Online Learning Platforms"]
The team plans 3–5 watch parties as part of the broadcast distribution, with Ibiza already confirmed. Mariko emphasized keeping these tightly scoped — they'll sit behind a paywall (ticket purchase yields a direct link), avoiding open-room bad-actor risks.
Technical approach: Hubcast's control room logs into each watch-party Zoom as a participant, allowing the production team to inject the broadcast feed directly into participant rooms while also pulling individual videos back into the main show for global-to-local-to-global moments.
Delanne will dig up messaging examples from Gina's work on the Peace Begins at Home Summit to inform watch-party promotion language. Alex raised the idea of geographic distribution (multiple countries) to showcase the global dimension during the broadcast itself.
Peter is bringing two systems plus PTZ stands. Local rentals needed: heavy cabling, power distribution, tripod for main camera, and a grip/lighting package. James is bringing additional mirrorless cameras (R8, R5) and lenses; Michael Shaun has Leica R primes available if needed.
Discussed Marty K. Casey as the ideal main host — strong stage presence, knows Holomovement deeply, professionally trained. Mariko will text Marty to check availability. Rachel was floated as a "magical plugin" co-host for lighter moments rather than the gravitas anchor role.
Light powder/matte support for on-camera talent during interviews — Kayla Ray and the social team can assist.

Mariko is adding Hera and Claire to the WhatsApp group to handle Hubcast registration codes and on-site logistics.
Peter and Delanne are running the Global Earth Repair event in Washington State with Rick Lukens just before Portugal — Peter offered to share access so the Holomovement team can preview the Hubcast workflow in action.

Create Holomovement profile on Hubcast Creator Hub to access platform capabilities
Set up Holomovement's presence on the Hubcast Creator Hub platform to enable access to FAST channels, event creation, video hosting, and SDG-tagged content modules. Platform requires profile creation to access full capabilities. Supports global broadcast routing strategy.
European localized landing page for Wave event targeting European ticket buyers. Major consolidation underway: merging separate Wave page and ticket page into single unified landing page with clear value proposition, speaker lineup front and center, community videos/quotes accessible without deep scrolling, and navigation bar for returning visitors to jump directly to tickets/FAQ/testimonials. Geolocation-based ticket pricing implemented using free API (1,000 requests/day) to auto-detect visitor location and display appropriate currency widget (USD vs Euro) with manual toggle override for travelers. Default base pricing $650 USD with euro equivalent. Interim solution adds visible Euro/USD buttons in hero section and near ticket widget while geolocation script completes. Airtable speaker sync replacing manual folder-filename approach - speakers entered in Airtable with status toggle, auto-publishing to site when marked ready. Design work by Munya in Figma not yet pushed to Webflow. Structural notes compiled by Mariko during LA-Flagstaff drive being incorporated. Time and Space marketing agency pressing for updated materials for ad campaigns. European volunteer team in Lisbon running pop-up events creating urgency for consolidated page. Scholarship discount codes handling deeper discounts against base pricing rather than separate tiers. Scholarship applications trigger automated code delivery without manual intervention. Global broadcast partnership now integrated with Hubcast International bringing livestream capability and interactive engagement features including watch parties (3-5 confirmed with Ibiza live), evening broadcast shows (2-hour produced content), and potential app embedding via collaboration with Hubcast developer Emilio Lopez.
Integration of Hubcast International global live broadcast partnership for Wave event routing global viewers directly into Holomovement ecosystem. Strategic approach requires profile creation to access stream, enabling live chat and donation options including monthly giving. Profile becomes the ticket in, immediately placing viewers inside platform where they discover all other features. Contract with Hubcast Media and Peter Young finalized with production team (Peter, Delanne, Tess) confirmed for on-site support. Technical infrastructure includes multi-camera main stage capture, dedicated evening broadcast set with PTZ system, Stage Timer run-of-show management via Google Sheets, and Mentimeter interactive polling. Watch parties confirmed at 3-5 locations including Ibiza operating behind paywall with Zoom-based feed injection allowing global-to-local-to-global audience participation. 2-hour produced evening shows designed for linear distribution (Roku, etc.) with full long-form content available on-demand. Interactive engagement strategy includes stretch breaks every 35-45 minutes featuring app onboarding walkthroughs, Mentimeter quizzes, and theme-specific chat rooms aligned with six Wave domains where remote viewers contribute ideas read from stage. Potential single sign-on integration between Hubcast Creator Hub and Holomovement App explored with developer Emilio Lopez enabling seamless profile handshake and subscriber-only content tiers. Hubcast team arrives Portugal April 27th with setup/testing April 29th and checkout June 1st. Social team (Andrew, Connie, Kayla Ray) coordinating on-location capture including Sunday closing party at Crocodile Armis. Marty K. Casey identified as ideal main host pending availability confirmation. 2027 vision established for fully hybrid event where Holon hubs in cities worldwide host local viewing parties broadcasting their own feeds - rooftop concerts, community gatherings - feeding into central broadcast. Pilot testing planned with existing Holon hubs in Asheville, DC, Sedona, and ideally Australia or Asia. Media archive interface prototyped using globe-based player with filters by location, event, and experience, with pop-out video player staying active while browsing. Videos uploaded within 48 hours of recording made available for on-demand viewing, organized by speaker or session. Platform positioned as collective infrastructure optimized for groups sharing formats, engagement approaches, facilitation practices representing research and impact value critical for philanthropic funding contexts. Meeting 05-04 introduced full Hubcast production team with detailed technical and strategic planning including run-of-show architecture, Stage Timer workflow, interactive content design, watch party mechanics, Creator Hub distribution strategy, and 2027 multi-hub vision (01:00-02:10).
Custom membership system architecture for user authentication, progress tracking, and database management using Supabase for backend. Requirements include real database for user progress (not cookies), journal entry capture, API triggers for membership status and course purchases, and progress tracking across sessions. Decision made to build custom solution on Supabase rather than Member Stack. Includes Stripe integration for subscription management and automatic access revocation when subscriptions lapse. Multiple products may connect to same membership tier with bundled offerings granting multiple memberships from single purchase. Part of Phase One development with $16K-$29K budget. Requires hiring Supabase specialist for implementation. Timeline aligned with LMS development for February 10th launch. Authentication spike will establish foundation with Supabase login functionality on MAST template, implementing user profiles, password management, and session handling. System will sync membership status between Stripe and Supabase for automated access control. Backend successfully operational with membership login and content gating complete using Supabase and Stripe. Profile editing integration in progress to connect with directory system. Backend approximately 90% complete with primary goal to deliver working version on Holomovement site for team testing this week allowing account creation, login, and profile data editing. Front end minimal at this stage consisting mainly of login pages until profile pages developed. Profile creation flow now implemented as linear step-by-step process requiring profile completion before directory access. Sign-up flow includes friendly nudges for empty bios when hitting next, optional social profiles with language like 'you can always come back later' to reduce drop-off, loading screen during profile generation with engaging copy like 'making connections', AI-generated banner images based on user bios, and light/dark mode toggle inheriting system settings by default. System enforces profile completion to ensure data quality and prevent half-finished accounts cluttering database. Dark backgrounds use deep teal rather than pure black, light mode avoids stark white to maintain Holomovement brand feel. Simplified pill-style member modal implemented with collapsed/expanded states showing two lines by default, expanding on hover to reveal icons for messages, Holons, and light/dark mode toggle. Notifications aggregate into single indicator on Holon icon with changing number rather than multiple dots. Three profile image preview styles (circle, square, doorway/vertical) included in signup flow to ensure photos work across all use cases. In-app messaging system now live using custom-built architecture with no per-message cost, styled similar to iMessage with unread message counts, conversation threading, and future group chat capability. Email notifications handled via Resend - free up to 3,000 emails/month, then $20/month for up to 50,000. Holon management flow improved with clear delegation model between members and admins using invitation system rather than automatic adds. Location automation uses lightweight AI call to convert entered location into coordinates for near real-time map updates. Saving bug affecting profile updates, feedback, and location syncing identified and resolved during meeting. Community consent flow being added as pop-up on first messaging use with scrollable community agreements and required checkboxes covering non-partisanship, anti-spam, entity usage rules, and conduct standards. GDPR compliance considerations noted with Webflow plugin available for data erasure rights and cookie consent. Pay What You Want contribution system now under active development with slider UI allowing users to select suggested range ($15-$20/month) with secondary scholarship tier option for lower amounts. Two-screen approach framed as gift rather than discount with wave-based slider visual showing increasing amplitude. System includes familiar Stripe checkout supporting Link, Amazon Pay, and other methods. PayPal integration planned for better international accessibility. Working wave-amplitude slider prototype built with predefined moments shifting wavelength visually, translatable directly into payment UX. Prototype ready for core team testing within next couple days with front-end UI included. Thursday core team meeting target for showcase. Modal menu interface introduced featuring compact notification/settings control with light mode toggle - described as small detail that meaningfully elevates experience. Three developers now working on Webflow implementation: Sean (Ohio, senior), Siam (Pakistan, junior), with Ivan handling less bandwidth due to outside client work. Profile creation, editing, and regeneration flows confirmed working as of 03-31 meeting. Profile creation link added directly to member modal enabling re-run of full onboarding flow. Core team onboarding structured as daily feature drip starting with profile creation. 03-31 crash test revealed critical blocking issues preventing core team demo: n8n automation pipeline failing to complete profile data processing reliably, social links not saving due to LinkedIn field dependency, AI-generated cover image and tagline entering loop state without completing, JSON input error halting holon creation mid-flow, logout bug on holon detail page, light mode broadly non-functional requiring toggle to be hidden entirely, profile content fields not populating after form submission. Team consensus: crash test failed, reconvening following day to retest after critical fixes. Zero tolerance for processes locking up or halting before core team demo - visual imperfections acceptable but no mid-flow stoppage permitted. Hubcast partnership introduces potential single sign-on integration explored with developer Emilio Lopez enabling seamless profile creation handshake between broadcast access and Holomovement App reducing friction for new users discovering platform via livestream. Profile creation becomes the access ticket for global broadcast viewers immediately placing them inside ecosystem where they discover collaboration features. System now functional and operational with core team beginning onboarding process (meeting 05-04).
Strategic enhancement of directory system integrating with membership capabilities to enable member profile management, progressive assessment completion, and intelligent matching. Members can log in and edit their profiles directly with information stored in Supabase for flexible content management. Progressive engagement model starts with basic five-minute setup (name, website, purpose statement, location), then enables detailed assessments later. Each completed assessment adds profile elements and unlocks features including AI-generated visual representations (icons, tarot archetypes, numerology graphics). Integration with Claude AI enables sophisticated queries like 'who should I collaborate with on this project?' or 'who can provide funding?' across network assessment data. Advanced features include weekly emotional mapping interface with six-axis emotional space (excitement, nervousness, grief, etc.) aggregating into community climate visualizations. Reimagined map interface using flat Earth projection with layered filtering showing member locations, funding flows, collaborative connections, project relationships. Multiple view modes from simplified default to complex multi-layered 'Arcturian' views. Integration with Engine for Good grant program where applications link to member profiles, creating incentive structure for profile completion. Team pivoted to prioritize directory system over LMS development. Player card approach focuses on game-like profiles emphasizing what someone is doing (project/mission) and what help they need for AI-powered matching. System summarizes lengthy inputs into concise scannable formats. MVP launch target February 15 with login capability, profile editing, and integrated assessments. Beta testing program follows to identify next priority features. Critical development discussion revealed MapBox visualization provides initial visual interest but limited practical value beyond local connections - intelligent matching algorithms represent the true 'killer app' rather than map visualization. Profile data strategy shifting from personality assessments to actionable information: developmental stage, experience level, current project involvement, specific skills, and active needs. Visual consistency issues identified with user-uploaded images requiring standardization. Question emerged whether Holons function as independent entities or collections of individual members, requiring data architecture decisions. Simplified terminology 'members and groups' proposed over 'Holons' for newcomer clarity. Basic intake form planned capturing development level, experience, life stage, purpose, and current needs as primary assessment for matching foundation. Player card UI concept introduced featuring icons to symbolize key information, AI-generated summaries to condense lengthy responses, and achievement badges displaying completed courses, assessments, and accomplishments. Design iteration process planned where team scans test cards to validate information hierarchy. Sandbox database creation for core team to fill out profiles and review each other's player cards as real-world test. Prototype development progressing with profile creation, editing, viewing, and password resets functional in Supabase. Munia developing first draft UI designs. Team agreed to reduce text density, create more visual/scannable interfaces. Multiple views prototyped: alliance view, profile editing, directory search (list and map-based), member profiles, holon profiles. Core intake fields defined: name, date of birth, email, phone/SMS/WhatsApp, location, purpose/mission, gifts and requests, alliance affiliations, short bio (150 words max), photo. Matching deferred from numerical compatibility scores to simpler connection signals: complementary skills, matching needs/offers, alliance overlap, geographic proximity, shared purpose domains. AI interpretation via Claude for free-text fields, direct computation for explicit matches. App functionality to be hosted on separate subdomain (app.holomovement.net) with member-specific navigation, syncing public profile data to main site member globe. End of February target for core team interactive prototype. 3D globe navigation now live with lightweight custom rendering approach using continent outlines without full Mapbox tile loading for smooth performance (05:52). Globe features toggle for flat view, hover-activated profile cards, connection lines between members and holons. People appear as yellow dots, holons as teal hexagons algorithmically placed at center of members (01:22). Profile creation flow implemented as linear step-by-step process requiring profile completion before directory access (09:38). Photos strongly encouraged with friendly nudges if skipped, social profiles optional. AI-generated banner images based on user bios producing resonant results (15:47). Light/dark mode toggle available inheriting system settings by default (16:39). Dark backgrounds using deep teal rather than pure black, light mode avoiding stark white to maintain Holomovement brand feel (14:35). Vertical player cards chosen for directory view over horizontal layouts for gamified engaging presentation (37:52). Team seeding platform this week with core team members completing profiles Monday/Tuesday, creating holons Wednesday, reviewing experience Thursday core call (43:53). Polish focus prioritized over new features with delivery target Monday February 17 (41:20). New bento-style profile layout introduced with rounded corners, centered tagline, framed profile image, and subtle background color differentiation between sections (14:21). Rich text field with optional image upload added to represent projects or organizations more expressively beyond plain text (32:10). Testimonials system (potentially rebranded as 'Send Some Love' or 'Share the Love') enables mutual endorsements with reciprocal vouching mechanics (34:54). Field feature replacing 'wall' concept allows users to post updates and collaborative content with pinning capability (39:43). Long-term vision includes drag-and-drop section ordering for personalized profile storytelling. Assessment display framework showing sliders across domains added as visible badges on profiles. Seeking/Offering keywords auto-distilled from freeform text using AI summarization to aid readability and matching. On-demand match experience triggered by 'Match Me' button generates side-by-side comparison modal with numerical score (1-100, shown on hover), loading animation, and meaningful dimensions including complementary skills, needs/offers alignment, shared alliances, overlapping domains (26:00, 19:02). Match score and comparison view designed as sticky gamified feature incentivizing profile completion (24:35). Domain categories refined: 'Economics and New Systems' → 'Economics and Collaborative Commerce', 'Governance and Social Change' split into 'Collaborative Governance' and separate social change, 'Spiritual Activism and Inner Development' → 'Spirituality and Consciousness', additions include Ethics and Philosophy, Science, Leadership and Facilitation as 12th domain, potential Psychology embedded in community/relationships (43:00-48:22). Onboarding copy and tooltip language prioritized for clarity on unfamiliar terms with short hover descriptions (one sentence max). Implementation timeline: 7-10 day dev window for new design style, Field feature, preliminary matching functionality followed by internal testing with core four, then broader core team rollout (41:07, 40:08). First impressions prioritized with cautious rollout protocol to ensure solid initial experience. Messaging icon refined from email-style button to message icon to better reflect in-platform nature (13:29). Notifications aggregate into single indicator on Holon icon with changing number rather than multiple dots. Three profile image preview styles (circle, square, doorway/vertical) included in signup flow to ensure photos work across all use cases (07:44). In-app messaging system now live using custom-built architecture with no per-message cost, styled similar to iMessage with unread message counts, conversation threading, and future group chat capability (09:37). Email notifications handled via Resend - free up to 3,000 emails/month, then $20/month for up to 50,000 (23:56).

Wave event preparation targeting participants leaving activation day already inside at least one Holon using app as live tool (58:30). James confirmed ready to lead app presentations at wave event. One-to-two minute intro video of ecosystem planned for wave event (01:00:07). Platform designed as coordination layer - not an organization but a medium, connective tissue, energetic petri dish for collaboration to grow (20:30). Wave serves as on-ramp for Saturday-Monday - people get on the spaceship, then continue exploring projects, holons, and neighbors in platform Tuesday onward. 'We come together and create these big bonfires. We want ways to keep these campfires burning through the year' (55:30).
Assessment system with AI-powered engagement features feeding automation workflows. Data from assessments, clicking patterns, lesson completion, and call attendance triggers personalized communication including immediate tailored emails, weekly progress updates, connection recommendations based on profile matching, and proactive check-in offers when engagement drops. Guatemala-specific assessment page created requiring customized copy. Current synergist directory demonstrates existing assessment capabilities: members complete form triggering automated n8n and Claude AI analysis of responses about purpose, projects, and ancestral wisdom influences. System generates personalized feedback and recommends connections to other synergists based on compatibility, facilitating introductions via email without exposing addresses. Also suggests relevant podcast episodes. No-login approach removes participation barriers while enabling intelligent matching and communication. Strategic shift to progressive engagement model: members start with basic five-minute profile setup (name, website, purpose statement, location), then complete more detailed assessments later. Each completed assessment adds elements to profile and unlocks new features. Gamification includes AI-generated icons, tarot card archetypes, or numerology graphics appearing on profiles as users complete different assessments. Incremental assessment launch strategy releasing new assessments every week or ten days leading to Wave event, using Ripple gatherings and Miracle Club to promote participation. Partnership opportunities with experts for themed assessments (Don Beck for Spiral Dynamics, Vedic astrologer for astrology, iOS Zone of Genius team for their assessment). Critical reassessment of assessment strategy prioritizing basic intake form capturing most important factors: development level, experience, life stage, purpose, and current needs as primary assessment for matching foundation. Systems like Gene Keys and numerology recognized as requiring belief in astrology/numerology to feel relevant, limiting universal applicability. Focus shifting to actionable, practical data enabling computational matching based on clear criteria rather than archetypal personality typing. When matching collaborators, users need to understand skills, experience, current needs, and project involvement rather than personality scores. AI-driven matching requires developmental stage, experience level, project involvement, and specific needs to avoid misaligned matches like pairing serial entrepreneurs with college freshmen. Meeting confirmed approach of using simple 1-to-10 scale assessments for numerical scoring and spider graphs but deferring complex compatibility scores for MVP. AI interpretation via Claude for free-text fields and nuanced alignment, direct computation for explicit matches like shared affiliations or complementary skill requests. Michael coordinating with Emmanuel on potential assessment questions to gauge user alignment. Team now planning 5-6 domain assessment (5 makes pentagram shape, 6 makes star shape) using simple multiple choice format outputting 1-10 scores per metric with spider graph visualization (37:24). Demonstrated working client assessment as reference - multi-screen flow with logic-based classification, no agentic analysis required. Key design principles: spectrum-based framing rather than qualitative scoring ('does this sound like you or not?' vs 'how good are you at this?'), questions should feel neutral and interesting to avoid test-taking bias (MMPI/Myers-Briggs problem of answering how you want to appear), completable in 10 minutes or less, more candidate questions per domain than needed for culling weak ones (40:52, 48:29). Mariko advocated for including at least one fun gift-like assessment (e.g. numerology mandala tool) people would do for the experience that enriches profile organically without feeling like data extraction (41:56). James floated longer-term vision of garden of assessments users can choose from with power to decide which assessments inform matching - astrological/numerological inputs become opt-in rather than default. New numerology mandala tool demonstrated building visual in real time as user types, team expressed integration interest (43:44). Michael Shaun starting shared document immediately with candidate domain names and draft questions for team review, holding internal review with Hera before broader socialization (40:52, 52:43). Working prototype built with five-domain assessment featuring slider-based positioning system across spectrums (22:37). Five domains: Holonic Worldview (separative/analytic to holistic/integrative), Purpose Orientation (exploring/emergent to directed/activated), Pro-Social Stance (deep one-on-one to community-wide/systemic), Collaborative Capacity (independent to collective), Time Horizon (near-term to long-arc/generational). Results render as nine-pointed spider graph and bar chart. Slider format keeps assessment accessible without overwhelming users (25:36). Community-level visualization capability floated - overlaying 100 profiles to reveal collective orientation of holons or comparing holons against each other (29:17). Next development step: adding archetype outputs (e.g., 'super connector') with brief descriptive text for each result profile. Assessment data feeds optionally into matching algorithm with users able to decide matching criteria when requesting analysis, though some default criteria apply automatically (36:00). Prototype ready for Holomovement team Thursday meeting demo (40:46). 03-31 meeting revealed spider graph assessment essentially unreadable without tutorial - 19 items across overlapping axes makes results incomprehensible (10:54). Team verdict: spider graph is good eye candy but doesn't deliver snapshot value. Simplified one-question assessment with triangulation output confirmed as right path forward, not using spider graph format (14:58). Working prototype committed for following day. Michael Shaun flagged standing to-do: writing one-page descriptive blurbs for each assessment area so AI can return robust grounded responses to user queries - Google Doc format for now (57:04). Mariko testing showed assessment accurate and trustworthy, validating credibility needed for matching layer to work for new users. Assessment confirms what users intuitively know about existing relationships, building trust for recommendations with unknown people (46:52). Beyond individual matching, assessments help working groups understand collective makeup - team strengths, shadows, support needs, leadership roles. Positions tools as ongoing collaboration infrastructure rather than just onboarding features (51:14). New triangular assessment visualization mentioned in meeting at 57:00 as co-designed by James. Assessment now functional with improved output format and ready for core team onboarding (meeting 05-04).
Design and facilitation of Monday Activation Day at Wave Portugal event as culminating experience transforming inspiration into committed collaborative action. Day organized around six thematic domains (Collaborative Commerce, Sacred Ecology, Catalytic Philanthropy, Impact Infrastructure, Emerging Consciousness, Seed Studio) with boards live throughout entire Wave for all attendees to contribute reflections. Morning opens with brief framing (15 min) followed by Lynn McTaggart leading hour-long intention setting to establish magical foundation (53:00). Breakout methodology draws from Future Search process (1970s community design for non-hierarchical participation) with structured flow: facilitators craft 4-5 provocative interview questions with A/B/C progressive deepening parts, pairs conduct intentional listening interviews (~30 min) where listener only records and asks clarifying questions, partner accountability where each person surfaces the other's ideas in group rounds ensuring quiet voices land, group rounds of six unpacking questions across 3-4 rounds (~25 min each) with mixing between rounds, clustering ideas and heat mapping with dot voting (3 dots each) to surface where energy lives, top themes get future vision statements with champion and concrete first-step commitments including calendar dates. Day culminates in gallery-style exhibition where champions stand by projects, community circulates and contributes, then each champion shares from microphone (47:00). Strategic goal to break familiar pattern where extraordinary event energy dissolves weeks later when bubble bursts - continuity infrastructure through Holomovement platform enables sustained collaboration (33:00). Holomovement positioned not as organization but as coordination layer, medium, connective tissue enabling collaboration (20:30). Francesco reflected on Barbara Marx Hubbard's Syncons in 1970s generating incredible connections without continuity infrastructure - 'fifty years later we can really do it right' (33:00). Zenka emphasized injection of community, tools, connections critical to sustain awakening based on Cassandra Vieten's IONS work on ecosystem of change (17:30). Six themes will be alive throughout Wave, not just Monday, with boards inviting Saturday-Sunday attendees to contribute so non-Monday participants travel along for the ride. Seed Studio domain requires tailored approach: start with abstraction-level questions about what domains require collaboration beyond single organizations, optional partial interview round, narrow to 3 areas group is drawn to, then deepen. Aim is 4-5 distinct project directions not 15-20 so groups don't stretch too thin (01:11:00-01:14:00). Facilitation philosophy centers on invoking genius as collective spirit guide rather than personal possession (01:06:00). 'We are not asking for consensus, we're asking for harmony. Harmony is possible and durable' (53:00). Real gift is seeing who participants are being - ones that created outcomes will be much more resourced than those told what to do (01:07:00). Post-event mentorship question raised: how to shepherd new Holons formed on Activation Day requiring sustained presence, ideally producing generation of Holons that learn to do this themselves. Laura emphasized Monday experience does not leave non-attendees behind - Holons being recognized now through micro-grants inviting deep involvement regardless of attendance (30:00). Michael Shaun will create written facilitation document covering full day with detail (01:04:00) and schedule follow-up facilitator meeting one week before Wave to workshop interview questions together (01:23:00). Day schedule: Opening business in main hall (smaller intimate setup, possible center stage), 9:30 framing (15 min), Intention setting with Lynn McTaggart (~1 hour), 20 min theme facilitators introduce domains in main hall, Transition to breakouts (3-min walk max), 11:20-14:30 Breakout Session 1 (interviews + first unpacking possibly continued through lunch), 1.5 hour lunch, Session 2 (2.5 hours multiple unpacking rounds), 16:30 Break, Final session (1.5 hours exhibition + champion sharing). Four-day Wave arc: Friday arrival and welcoming home, Saturday transcendence and unity (Underview Effect theme in Bohmian implicate sense), Sunday possibility and inspiration moving from implicate to explicate, Monday love in action - collaboration expressing through committed projects (08:00). Team considering creating dedicated Holon for facilitation team to coordinate (01:23:30).
On-site production coordination with Hubcast International team for Wave Portugal including equipment logistics, venue scouting, crew coordination, and technical infrastructure setup. Hubcast team (Peter Young, Delanne, Tess Cacciatore) arrives April 27th with equipment including two systems plus PTZ stands. Local rentals required: heavy cabling, power distribution, tripod for main camera, and grip/lighting package. Evening broadcast set location to be scouted by Mariko upon arrival requiring separate dedicated space from main stage with PTZ system. Multi-camera main stage capture with audio interface from AV company. Social team (Andrew, Connie, Kayla Ray) coordinating on-location capture including Sunday closing party at Crocodile Armis venue with live segments, backgrounds, and music fade-ins. James bringing additional mirrorless cameras (R8, R5) and lenses; Michael Shaun has Leica R primes available. Light hair and makeup support for on-camera talent. Setup and testing scheduled April 29th. Checkout June 1st morning with possible Airbnb extension. Mark (Hubcast switching/control room director) to be looped into future calls for detailed advance prep. Registration codes and logistics coordination handled by Hera and Claire via WhatsApp group. Future media-team-wide call scheduled once run of show finalized to brief videographers and social team on roles. Stage Timer run-of-show management system built from Google Sheet master document with operator controls, stage viewer countdown, and moderator agenda enabling cloud-based operation. Sample 120-minute broadcast structure includes opening sequence, day-in-review montage, keynote features, host reflections, community stories blocks, live interviews, stretch breaks, global interaction segments, feature films, and preview of next day. Marty K. Casey identified as ideal main host pending availability confirmation with Rachel floated as co-host for lighter moments. Breakout rooms generally not captured with possible exception for Spoon Betty workshop.
Development of interactive content modules for broadcast engagement including app onboarding walkthrough videos, Mentimeter quiz content, theme-specific chat room prompts, and stretch break sequences. Strategic framework established at 31:30: every 35-45 minutes insert interactive moment breaking passive viewing pattern. Primary content types include short walkthrough videos demonstrating Holomovement App profile setup followed by QR code prompts for immediate action, Mentimeter quizzes and polls projected as third-screen experience using proven format from prior Hubcast events (Riane Eisler reference), theme-specific chat rooms aligned with six Wave domains (Collaborative Commerce, Sacred Ecology, Catalytic Philanthropy, Impact Infrastructure, Emerging Consciousness, Seed Studio) where global viewers drop ideas to be read from stage bringing remote audiences into in-room sticky-note exercises, guided reflection moments, and live Q&A segments. Content must support both 2-hour produced evening shows and full long-form content streams. James producing app onboarding walkthrough videos explaining collaboration layer, profile creation flow, and platform features for broadcast integration. Delanne preparing Mentimeter demo example for next meeting. Michael Shaun developing paper edit of sample evening show as team alignment artifact. Content strategy balances digestible highlights for linear distribution (Roku, etc.) with deeper engagement pathways driving viewers toward on-demand full content and app ecosystem. All interactive modules designed to convert passive viewers into active platform participants with profile creation as core conversion metric.
Technical integration exploration between Holomovement App and Hubcast Creator Hub platform enabling stream embedding, single sign-on, and seamless profile handshake. Peter Young offered at 35:30 to connect James with Emilio Lopez (Hubcast developer) to explore: embedding Hubcast stream directly into Holomovement domain avoiding third-party redirect, potential single sign-on architecture so Holomovement profiles work inside Hubcast enabling subscriber-only or member-only content tiers, simple onboarding handshake where signing up for broadcast also creates Holomovement App profile reducing friction for new user conversion. Michael Shaun wisely scoped at 35:00: MVP first with simplest possible integration this year, deeper integration explored only if timeline allows after James completes core app functionality. Current app stack: Webflow front end with Supabase handling database and authentication. Integration would enable profile-gated stream access, seamless transition from broadcast viewing to platform participation, and unified user experience across both systems. Strategic value: reduces conversion friction for global broadcast viewers discovering Holomovement for first time, positions profile creation as the access ticket rather than external paywall, and creates immediate path from passive viewing to active collaboration. Deferred until core app functionality complete with decision point after app launch whether to pursue for 2026 Wave or defer to 2027 global multi-hub event.
00:00:00
Mariko Pitts: Great. Can't wait to see that new one. Latest.
00:00:02
Michael Shaun Conaway: Yeah, yeah, that's. And I'm. I'm like, I told Rachel, she has to read it because she can't go off and tell people what we're doing if she doesn't understand that piece. You have to get the, like, unders, like intuition. Going to get you so far.
00:00:17
Mariko Pitts: Exactly. What's going on? Peter, Good to see you.
00:00:20
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Good to see you. I got Delan coming in here. She's just logging in for Rock. So we'll have. And then Tess is actually. She might show up. She's getting on a plane from New York.
00:00:31
Mariko Pitts: I know I get to see her tonight.
00:00:32
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah. Actually, I want to talk about that because are you. Are you on Wednesday? Are you around on Wednesday during the day?
00:00:40
Mariko Pitts: I am around. It just depends sometimes.
00:00:43
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Okay. So she. Well, there's a couple extra items I. We want to package it into a nice, simple, little small package for you. Oh, so you want to wait. Yeah. Wednesday. She has to be back in the LAX area on Wednesday.
00:00:56
Mariko Pitts: Oh, what time?
00:00:58
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Well, we're. We're going to coordinate that right now. And then just. She's going to try and come in, but we can text back and forth because I want to send you not only the tunnel, but there's these little cameras and I want to send one of them with you so you can plug that all in so I can check.
00:01:13
Alex Melnyk: Oh, fantastic.
00:01:14
Mariko Pitts: Just give me the set. I'll be. I'll be here. I leave Friday. Friday.
00:01:18
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah. She didn't have them in the kit that she has coming back from New York, but we'll put it all together and then we'll just give it to you. A little bag can just throw it in your leg.
00:01:25
Mariko Pitts: That's. That's perfect. That's perfect.
00:01:27
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Awesome. Awesome.
00:01:30
Mariko Pitts: Then I can meet her outside of the airport, actually, before she gets.
00:01:33
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, exactly. She can come in. She can come in your area because LAX is, as we all know, is a. Yeah, it's.
00:01:38
Mariko Pitts: It's a mess.
00:01:40
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah. So cool.
00:01:42
Michael Shaun Conaway: Just driving in. Just driving in that HorseShoe is a 30 minute ordeal.
00:01:47
Mariko Pitts: It's a thing. It's a thing.
00:01:49
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: It's. It's a thing, Man. Well, I can't believe how close you are to the, to the. To the neighborhood. So you're literally right next to Runway. What is it?
00:01:59
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just.
00:02:00
Alex Melnyk: Yeah.
00:02:02
Mariko Pitts: Five, ten minutes away, depending on. Yeah, it's a good thing.
00:02:06
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah. So this is D, everybody. D. I think it's easiest to call.
00:02:12
Delanne @ Hubcast: Her D. I just renamed it. Maybe I'll say D instead, but hi, everybody. Nice to meet you.
00:02:19
Mariko Pitts: It's good to meet you. We've heard so many good things about you, Peter.
00:02:22
Delanne @ Hubcast: Likewise, likewise.
00:02:25
Mariko Pitts: And I think Tess has joined us too. It's fantastic.
00:02:28
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Oh, so she's coming in? Yeah, she's coming in, flying around. She's boarding up. She's boarding a plane, but she said she could at least listen in. Tess is our content producer going to be based out of. Out of North America. So she is. There she is. So she is going to be responsible for the studio side of the content aggregation, making sure we get all the bits and pieces.
00:02:52
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:02:52
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Making sure we have her post archives put up. So she's, she's. She works with Delanne. If Delan's the location producer, she's part of the team of the studio on the content side, making sure everybody has everything they need.
00:03:06
Delanne @ Hubcast: And she's awesome.
00:03:08
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: And she's awesome.
00:03:11
Tess Cacciatore: You guys are all awesome.
00:03:12
Mariko Pitts: Hi, Marie. Good to. Good to meet you, Tess. I'm looking forward to meet you in person in a couple days.
00:03:19
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, I mentioned America.
00:03:20
Mariko Pitts: We're gonna do Wednesday, I think.
00:03:22
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, yeah, Wednesday. So perfect.
00:03:26
Tess Cacciatore: We'll talk when I land. I'm gonna mute myself so you guys.
00:03:29
Delanne @ Hubcast: Don't hear all this stuff because I'm.
00:03:31
Tess Cacciatore: Actually in my seat, but there's a.
00:03:32
Mariko Pitts: Lot of people bored. Oh, all good.
00:03:34
Alex Melnyk: All good.
00:03:35
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: No worries.
00:03:36
Mariko Pitts: Well, why don't we do is do a quick round of introductions and everybody just kind of give an update on what you're. What role you're holding. That way we can figure out how we're going to work best together. You kind of know me. I'm the course and just the whole movement. I'm also the event director. Why don't we just go throw it to Alex? Let's just get Alex and Michael Sean on our team first and then we can go.
00:04:00
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Are we recording this, by the way?
00:04:01
Mariko Pitts: Peter, are we recording? I've got my fathom in here. I think there's a bunch of note takers in. Don't worry about it.
00:04:07
James Redenbaugh: There's two of mine.
00:04:08
Mariko Pitts: Somehow I know. I think Jamie's right because we didn't shut the.
00:04:12
Michael Shaun Conaway: We didn't shut the call down. So your, your tech call is going to be James.
00:04:17
Mariko Pitts: I have two of the same thing.
00:04:19
Alex Melnyk: Somehow.
00:04:23
Mariko Pitts: Everyone.
00:04:24
Alex Melnyk: I'm Alex, Tess and D. That I haven't met you yet. Lovely to meet you both. And I am the kind of producer at the Wave. Like co producing with, but taking kind of the main stage production on at the Wave. And also director of development with Hollow Movement. So I kind of get my hands in a lot of different things. So you'll see me on a lot of the calls. That's it for me.
00:04:53
Michael Shaun Conaway: Michael Shawn. It's a double name. I'm sure I have to say that again at some point. I. I'm a philosopher and a technologist and a filmmaker. Spent most of my career as a doing. Being a part of a. Alex and I had a creative agency together doing anything from television commercials to, you know, storytelling campaigns, et cetera, et cetera. So we understand your world better than most. And yeah, I'll be around to, you know, like what I'm. My, my big concern is the that that we create something that's, you know, unique and in the pocket of what you do, but also really, really useful as far as being engaging for people so it becomes an interactive experience for them versus a, a sit back entertainment experience. I think that's what's highest value of us. And, and also just right now holding while everybody else is working like mad to get the Wave going on and this year really holding the. The space of. Of what we're doing now to set us up for next year to be a global wave event instead of a single location based event. So really trying to figure that out now so that because it's the. The all these things end up with late timelines and so we might as well start in June for next year.
00:06:12
Mariko Pitts: Absolutely.
00:06:13
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Cool. When we go to that. When we go to test just to. Okay, yeah, sorry, go ahead. Yeah. Unless you do your team and then Tess can go first in case she gets told to shut off her phone. Okay. James.
00:06:26
Michael Shaun Conaway: Have you.
00:06:26
James Redenbaugh: Have you. I'm James. Hi everybody. I think you all know me except Tess been building the Hollow Movement app. I think we're going to. We're calling it that.
00:06:39
Michael Shaun Conaway: We have. I'm going to figure it out, James. I tell you, we're going to call it Jeff.
00:06:46
James Redenbaugh: Between. Between this team and, and my own team. I've got a number of my own people working on it. It's been a journey. It's been a whirlwind of a bunch of awesome design and development and really excited to see it coming together. I'm here in Philly and I'll be at the Wave again this year and yeah, happy to be here.
00:07:11
Mariko Pitts: Also we're thinking with James to actually have the viewing of it and the experience in the app this time too. So just something he needs to kind of figure out a little bit more like understand your creator Hub too, because. And then how this would work and what's the best, you know, set up for this.
00:07:29
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: That's awesome.
00:07:30
Mariko Pitts: Okay, cool.
00:07:31
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Tess, did you want to go first? I'm seeing that. Can you talk still in the plane? She might be. Okay, well, I'll start other.
00:07:43
Tess Cacciatore: You guys, you can introduce me. Peter, I'm literally sitting on the plane, so I might not be able to say the whole time, but okay.
00:07:53
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Okay. Well, Tess, award winning writer, producer, she is the creator of Yumi's Universe, if you're familiar with that, that product. She's been a documentary filmmaker for many years, like all of us in our career path and as I said, award winning. And she is going to be our content producer back in Vancouver. So she's going to be responsible for aggregating content, making sure all the bits and pieces are in place and then she'll be heading up the post delivery archiving element, post event, making sure everybody has the archives that they need and we're collecting everything properly. She's going to be working out of the LA office, but she will be decentralized into the system, getting access to all the things that she needs with our team in Vancouver. So that is Tess Catch Tori. And we're very honored to have her working with us and we've been working on a number of projects with her for about a year now and it's just exciting to bring her into this one as well. It's a perfect fit. This is exactly what she does. She's also worked at the un. She's been a UN news reporter as well. So again, I'm sure she can elaborate more deeply, but very excited to have Tess part of the team on this.
00:09:09
Mariko Pitts: Awesome.
00:09:09
Tess Cacciatore: Peter, you can do my introductions all the time.
00:09:11
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, that's pretty good.
00:09:12
Tess Cacciatore: Much better than me.
00:09:15
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So my name is Peter Young. I'm the, of course, I'm the founder of Hubcast International. There's two sides of Hubcast. We have our B2C team, which is the. Which for the people who don't know, we partner with Rick Lukens as part of the UEN infrastructure that we're launching over this summer. But on our B2B side is our production divisions and all of our technology divisions, which is what is represented on this group. That's our studio infrastructure, decentralized production workflow. And so we are using mainly our production team on this project. And so we will be deploying our technology to Portugal with myself and Delan and I'm acting as would say a technical director and on location producer co Producing with Delanne and the team of course here to make sure that all the technology is getting to where it needs to do and all the backups are being done and so on, so forth. So myself your next Glenn.
00:10:19
Delanne @ Hubcast: I mean it's my turn.
00:10:20
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Your turn.
00:10:21
Delanne @ Hubcast: I think you should introduce me as beautifully as you did Tess. Anyways, I'm Delanne or I've become D on many projects because it's just easier for people to remember how to pronounce my name. My whole career has been either in broadcasting or event management, the music industry and for the last 10 years I've been living and breathing headcast with Peter. So I think my title is location producer on this but I'll be wearing so many other roles because as we lead up I know the how our workflow is intimately in, in many areas. So I'm excited to dive in and learn more. I've been following along, meeting notes and getting. I signed up last year I think for the weekly emails from Emmanuel and I've been following along over the last few weeks of what's been pushed out on, on marketing. So yeah, that's it. Nice to meet you. I look forward to meeting you all in person and working with you hard over the next few weeks coming up. I know I love working with Tess. I adore her so I'm so thrilled that she's going to be working with us too.
00:11:34
Mariko Pitts: Fantastic. All right, well, looks like this is the core team.
00:11:38
Delanne @ Hubcast: Yeah.
00:11:39
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Oh, and then me too.
00:11:40
Mariko Pitts: Thanks.
00:11:41
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, yeah, sure. She has no choice. We live in the same. Delan is also my wife for everybody, for full transparency. Delan is my life partner in business and in purpose and in, in soul journey. So this is very much Hubcast is very much a soul driven purpose. Hubcast is more than just a company. It is our, it is our legacy. It's what we've been working for for the last 40 plus years in our career. So we're here in solidarity and purpose. So we're excited.
00:12:12
Mariko Pitts: Fantastic.
00:12:12
Alex Melnyk: Super aligned Test and Delan, Michael, Sean and I too are partners in life and crime so we share that some similar values that you do.
00:12:22
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Nice.
00:12:22
Mariko Pitts: Nice.
00:12:23
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: This is. And it's amazing the teams that are showing up out there that a lot of. They are a lot of pairs and in purpose and it's, it's exciting to meet others that are.
00:12:33
Alex Melnyk: I don't know how else you work in production and have a good relationship with your partner. If you don't, if you don't both have the same North Star, it just doesn't can't imagine it.
00:12:43
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Can't imagine this at all. So this is awesome.
00:12:47
Mariko Pitts: All right.
00:12:48
James Redenbaugh: Rico and I are also life partners.
00:12:50
Mariko Pitts: We are and we very much are. Okay.
00:12:57
Alex Melnyk: The same old star. I get it.
00:13:00
Mariko Pitts: We definitely come from the same star. That's very.
00:13:02
James Redenbaugh: Yeah, we definitely come from the same.
00:13:04
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: We're all so part. What do you think? We're all so part. We're all been brought to here to this moment in time to do this co creation and. And as. As it's been told, radically collaborate. But it's. We're. We're here to co create and that's, you know, and maybe to start this is that what I put forth in the proposal was just a. A foundation. It's certainly not what I think the end product will be. And I think what you summarized as well, Maro was really well done with just capturing the essence. But Michael, Sean, this has to be interactive. I totally, 100% agree with you is we have to think beyond a passive viewing experience. And this has to be a brand new way that people are going to experience hybrid events. And that's why I want to challenge everybody to how can we make this as interactive as we can? So I just put that up there to start.
00:14:00
Mariko Pitts: Well, why don't we start with some of the basic stuff. I think I need to get you guys to run a show. I think we need to basically plug it in. I know, I think I asked Peter what templates are, how do you guys use that? And I think maybe this is maybe where delaying comes in. It's like we get back to you, you plug it in and then we can then start to look at the magical essence of how we can bi directional. I'd like to see how where the engagement comes in. But also the technology that we're utilizing, are we using Creator Hub or both? And our ecosystem, there are things that we can do like with chat functionality and things like that that we already have an ecosystem that can make it an added experience. Obviously it's a super funnel for us to have people coming in for the global broadcast directly into our ecosystem, right into our app. So it's a. That would be the most ideal. But we do want to have, you know, access to your network and things like that too with hubcast. And so we should have a presence on the creator hub. But I do think that we should probably at least get you a copy of the master run a show. That way you can start plugging in what we have on the main stage, get our timings to get together and you know, I know Michael, Sean also mentioned that this is the bigger beta test, right. Was this. Obviously we're looking at doing this, you know, 10 times bigger in 2027. Right. So this is the first on the ground. I do want minimal like with impact. Right. So we don't want to go over the top. We want to look at and get the feedback. There are watch parties that we can have. I know there's one in Ibiza that just basically signed on that wants to basically watch it together and then we can bring them in. And that's great because they'll be on the same time zone as us so they can come on the main stage, say hello, you know, things like that. But we'll have a couple other different watch parties. I'm calling them Watch Parties. That's an internal name right now, but because you know, they're experiencing. But also there's some type of reciprocal and sharing. But we want to basically better understand how we can bring them together. We're in the program that fits that sort of thing and just really kind of get this all dialed in with the, with the last four weeks. We're on a four week sprint now, so but you know, as you know, it's all really based off of the main programming and we are almost complete with that. So you'll have a good layer to really understand what's happening and then how to stitch this whole thing together. And then what else, what else are we adding into the pot, you know, for, you know, the added experiences, videos, there's all sorts of stuff and the social teams on the ground and what they're, you know, putting together. So I don't actually know if this is going to be a 2. It sounds like it'd be a lot bigger than a two hour program, honestly, because our main program is actually bigger than two hours anyway for each.
00:16:43
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Right. And then it's about, it's about driving people to the like the idea of this two hour show, you know. You know, we will be of course capturing all the main stage and so on, so forth as an entirety for the On Demand. But I think the this show and these two, two hour, three hour shows, we want them to be short enough that we can put them out on a network that'll take a two hour show in the linear world of the Roku and so so forth. But we want to drive them to an experience where they can watch the entirety. So either we're driving it to one keynote presentation specifically that we were talking about, or we're driving them to a whole panel discussion that happens maybe over an hour. But the idea is to dance around with these highlights to say, you know, this is kind of if you want to catch the hollow movement and everything in the essence that happened today in two hours, you watch this show. When you have time to watch the entirety, go there. But right now this is about. We're going to engage with you like we're engaging people with an audience on site and you're going to have the same, you're going to actually have a different experience but you're going to have just as an empowering experience watching it online as you were sitting in the seats. And I think that's if we can, if we can successfully present that, then what's going to happen is that for next year, I'm thinking long term. Michael, Shawn, this is where people say well I would love to be there but man, I can buy into this program and feel the same experience even if I can't go to the country that it happens to be in today. Or we can go to the local hub as well. So that's just my two thoughts with regards to that document. I was just working it with Delan. I'll show you right now. If I could share my screen for a second very quickly. This, this is the wrong screen. Stop the share. That's my, that's my. Let's do this one. So this, this is a Google Doc that we use a Google sheet actually and it's pretty straightforward but it's, it's done in a certain way that we can import this into our run of show application. We use something called Stage Timer that I think I mentioned you guys before. So this one has everything from you know, what the segment is, the title, what the speaker, you know what kind of status, what kind of product is it is. Oh, this is where we're conferring speaker. So it's confirmed or not the flow, what type of segment it is and all of these elements. Delano usually manages this page. This is how once this is locked in we then import this into the run and show in the system. It shows where our lower thirds are, the notes, the sources. Let's make sure that we have the right name keys and so on so forth. But graphic links, we usually put all of these links that link back to a Google document. So we always have the assets there fresh. So if there's a link that's been changed to a new assets, it's instant and then this document is shared usually not by to the whole team but to the planning team and then this becomes our working doc that we work with up to the event time. Once we lock it in, this then gets imported into what's called Stage timer. And if I could try and bring it up here, let me just. And so with stage timer, there you go. So for instance, we use Solstice Life. So let me just pull this into my. So this application here is where all of the information gets put in. So imagine that run a show Excel sheets imported into here shows the element what it is. But. But what we can do from here is we create different timers so output links. So one could be like for instance the viewer. That's what we put on the stage. So when they're talking it's got a countdown timer. This is where you can actually prompt them on the stage to rap or direct them through text. This is the operator side. So the person that's if we need to extend or shorten the segment based on if they're talking over. You've got your moderator. Sorry your agenda. That's. That's more of a calendar. So all of these are links. So for instance, if I put this link into. Into a tab, you'll find that. Right here. Oh, room is full. Hang on a second. I've got too many people in that room. Let me try another one here.
00:21:41
Delanne @ Hubcast: The plan to use this as we've done and at other events, Peter, where it shows on the comfort mon.
00:21:48
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Well, this is the way that I thought we could do because of these produced shows. This is a great way to keep everybody aligned internationally. So all these rooms are full, but these layouts are unique to a URL. So I can send that URL to anybody in the group and whoever logs into that URL, we have to buy certain seats in the room. But this could sit even on a monitor in the lobby and people can see what segment so can you use from everything from agendas right up to what part of the of the program you're in for the day of. So it's very powerful and it's really, really. And again, if you want to check it out, it's stagetimer IO go to the site. We've been using them for about five years now. Really powerful product. They, they kind of replaced. If you guys. There was another run a show product out there that was really expensive and I can't remember, do you remember what it was called? Delenne,.
00:22:47
Delanne @ Hubcast: The one that I quite liked. Yeah, they got bought out from another company so I don't even know.
00:22:53
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: But these guys are Quite reasonable. You know again is the idea is we, we don't have to buy as many seats because we can use it inside of our technology and then send that to those monitors ourselves so they don't have to have a unique URL. But I would suggest is let's use this. And the great thing about it, the operator side can be from anywhere in the world. So for instance Michael, if, Michael. Sean, if you were doing it and all of a sudden you needed to move a segment around, you just drag it in the system and it recalculates the time, that'd be great.
00:23:22
Michael Shaun Conaway: I mean obviously we're trying to stay on time.
00:23:25
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Well and again the good thing about is we're producing this show. It's a pre designed show that we're going to play on. There's going to be a lot of segments in it and it's not as necessarily as live live meaning that people are talking and you're telling them to wrap up. It's only usually the host that you're kind of making sure that they're on their cues and their timing. But I recommend this is a, would be a great product and it's easy to deploy because it's, it's cloud based but this could be what we could build on as the second stage. So we build it in that, that Google Excel sheet that I showed. We can, we take your run of show, we put it in there and we start working with that, massaging it and then from there it goes into this system as being our, our playoff platform.
00:24:13
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:24:15
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: And then the other quote, the other side of what you mentioned about the distribution side and James, this is might be something to share with you is that the whole idea of the creators hub a best in class. It doesn't necessarily need to hold all the product of the hololemovement. It's the product out there that will drive people into the Hollow movement. It's not about driving people towards hubcast to the network, it's about how the hubcast drive those people into the deeper experience of Hollow movement. So really the stuff that we want to do on that site is kind of the best in class stuff. The highlight reels, the things that really get people excited about it and then have them when they click on it right. They have an option to go and discover more of the Hollow movement either through a QR code or through a link or however we want to present that in.
00:25:04
Mariko Pitts: Can you share screen and show us a little bit of insight? Sure, yeah, that'd be great. Maybe we can just get a little experience again. It's been a while since I looked at it.
00:25:12
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Okay, so let me give a second here. Okay, so let me show the screen. So the network, when you come into the network we have these fast channels, free ad supported. So we're running right now we're just running 70 channels. This is from the one of the Earth Day shows that we're doing a replay on it. This was 14 hours of DJs. But you'll see in here that based on the channel that you click on, this is like just like you'd see on a fast TV network in the creators hubs. A creator hub. And this is where the hollow movement creator hub will be created. A creator hub is actually a group of content creators. So for instance if I go into a good example, one would be 606. So this is a group out of Australia that is all about the Rancher teachings. And in there they have different channels and each one of these channels represent one of their content creators individually. But and in that. So if you were to go into one of these content creators right now this one's just videos that he's playing out. But in if you look, if you go back to a channel that is a creator hub that is more say across the different platforms you have. For instance Awakening has events, videos and channels. So the channels represents the different shows that Awaken produces, but it also represents different events that it has been doing. Like for instance Eva Madison and when he was doing the one to one series. So when you create a creator's hub or when you are in a creator's hub, you can create content in all these different aspects. Events, videos, films, articles, courses. Or you actually have mini zoom rooms that you can create up for communities. This whole toolkit is available to the creator free of charge. So for instance, if you were to spin up an event for this is under. Under our UNITE network you can do a virtual event, an in person event or a hybrid event and then literally build your show dates where you bring in the stream in from. It could be either like you could put a zoom link in there, a Google Meet and it will create the show for you. Third party streaming service which is like an RTM service, we have our own conferencing channel that's inside the system or you can push out like obs or a software stream through an application or you can use your webcam, but in there you can turn on live chat show and feed, but you can decide if it's a free or subscribed or ticketed entry. So you have the ability to manage how you want the paywall to be. So for instance, if we wanted to make the Holo movement a subscribers platform for a dollar a month or whatever, you can then provide content that's only for the subscribers. You can provide content that are free. You decide what access people are getting based on the content you put in the system. So, so this, it's, it's, it's quite malleable how we, how it can be used again if you go into the events now, all of the events we take it to categories. For instance, this weekend we had all this work. So for instance ohm. This was their, their show. We just piggybacked on their YouTube channel for their instance. But if I went in there and I managed that event because it was done through the group here, there it is there more or less. And this is full HTML things. So it can be links, it can be whatever you want to do with inside the thing. The category. This ties to the sdg. So if it's a talk that's about good health and well being, it will tag it to the event. So when you're in the dashboard and you want to see all the events that to do with good health and well being, they'll show up. This is again the panel I showed you before and it's very simple to spin up a link to it. And so the goal is that we would create the creators hub under Holo movement and then all these different elements we would build out. And again it can be everything from articles. Even has a courses module in here that we're developing. So if you wanted to take a course, a video LMS course, you could do it that way you can view the course, you can charge for it, all that stuff in it. So there's lots of, there's lots of different ways. And then Illuminate Film Festival, if you look at that, they could be a channel with inside. And then we have the films section. So this is where full films are being produced as well.
00:30:46
Alex Melnyk: Okay.
00:30:47
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So that's, that's really high level again obviously. James, super helpful, super careful. Yeah.
00:30:54
Michael Shaun Conaway: So I had a couple of notes and questions as we went through there. One is that, you know, we're talking about this edit down of being a two hour tour. Two hours is a long time to hold somebody's attention. And so I want two hours of content. But I wonder how we can make it such that it has. Or if you guys have this possibility that it pauses every 45 minutes or so. And offers a, you know, offers something to do interactively, like a personal reflection or, you know, I don't know. Just. Is there, is there a way that they don't have to sit nonstop for two hours or pressing pause and play?
00:31:32
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Well, what you could do is you could drive them to a third screen experience. You know, if it's a mentimeter quiz or some sort of interaction, bringing up a QR code where they can go on to the third screen device and interact with it. This is where we find. When we were doing the stuff with John Ramer and Ben and all that using the mentimeter platform was very powerful for people feeling part of it. The other option is that you do a stretch break and, and it goes into a, you know, the show pauses while that's taking place and then they come back in to review what they did.
00:32:12
Michael Shaun Conaway: Yeah, I'm thinking that. Thinking, like, for example, at, you know, 35 minutes in, we play a short video on how to, to make your profile on the holomovement app. And then we pause and you get the QR code to go make your profile on the whole movement app. You know, like that we did. We. That we. Because we, we. I want to say having them watch the content is cool, but if we don't capture them as customers and don't get them interacting within our environment, then we are missing the big, big opportunity for us. And so I'm thinking, James, is there's a way that we could set up.
00:32:51
Alex Melnyk: The,.
00:32:53
Michael Shaun Conaway: The, the onboarding flow for those days just for. Because we're going to have people at the, at the wave as well. So they go through the onboarding flow and then it, it. Instead of taking them deeper into the app, right off the bat, it says, you know, it says, it says, hey, do you want to, do you want to have the interactive experience along with the. Are you on the show? Do you want to go through the interactive experience? And we just, we just have these moments like, you know, I don't know, Interact one, Interact two, Interact three, so that they, that they, they can have that, the app open and then they can be watching. And we do that saying like have a stretch break, press the pause button. And if you're doing the interact, go to interact1 right now. And we just put some really, even at this point, just basic prompts on the screen, what, what they've just seen. I think that would be really cool to. Because I don't know how we'll do it next year. It could be much more sophisticated, obviously, but it Seems this year that might be a great way to go. And then Peter, do we, do we actually then on the other side, could we just embed the stream into our domain? I mean can we actually have as an embedded experience?
00:33:57
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Absolutely. That comes from our streaming engine and we can certainly do that. The other thing that we can do James, is we can do a single sign on. So we could, you know, when they sign up for the hall movement they have a profile in hubcast so then you can, then you can start locking down or put a paywall in there where you know, they become a member of the whole movement in hubcast and they get access to the subscription side and then you can put certain content there that's, that's locked down under subscription and they have access to that exclusively. That's where you can leave the free content in there. But then if they want to get into more a deeper dive, then you put either, either they have to sign up. So where it's not, there's no charge for it, but they have to at least have a profile to be able to interact with that. There's that as well. And we can certainly build a single sign on for that.
00:34:51
Michael Shaun Conaway: Let us kick around. James is still have to finish the app right now. So primarily we want to get it done and so we'll say at a minimum it'll be a simple, there'll be a simple integration and then if we can go further and integrate the Broadcast into our app, even just temporarily, we'll look at that and see. I mean it's really probably going to be honestly guys, just the simplest possible option at this point.
00:35:21
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Exactly. And if you want James, our developer, I don't know if you know Emilio Lopez, he's the creative of Portal, he's our developer and certainly we can set a second meeting where I'm sure between the two of you, just see what do you. Are you building your app in React or what are you building it in? Oh, you're muted.
00:35:46
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, you're muted.
00:35:50
James Redenbaugh: There's a lot of React. The front end is all on webflow. We're using Supabase for, for the database and authentication.
00:35:58
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Well again it would be worth a quick hello to Emilio and we might find this is really simple integration even though it may be not as in depth but just getting the tentacles connected could make a.
00:36:11
Michael Shaun Conaway: Is something that we have options even, even a handshake when they sign up and they put their username, their name in their path and do a password if it could, if the button could show up. James it says continue your, Continue onboarding into the whole movement app and just, just, you know, like they just don't notice, but they, they're, they're signing up for the whole thing. I think that would be fine too. I mean, really, I think the more opportunities we, we throw people this in front of people and then as the show goes on, we'll also have these opportunities where we're, we're, you know, maybe doing some of the things like, oh, here's an example. We, we've got these things in the room where we're doing the themes, we're getting people ideas. Like they, oh, I'd love to do this about spiritual ecology. Well, that's going to be on sticky notes in the room. But we could literally make a chat where people can put their idea, a chat for each of the six ones in the app. And then they could go in that chat area and just type what they want to say and then we could read that out from the stage. So we could literally bring the app. We could make the app very simply, just what we already have, an indispensable part of being in the, in the show. Actually, you know what, we can maybe use a chat as a way to do. To drive some of the interactive.
00:37:29
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Our system won't let you use chat unless you sign in, so you can consume it passively, but if you want to interact with it, you got to sign up. So same, same sort of methodology on the app.
00:37:39
Mariko Pitts: It should be the same for us too. But yeah, I was thinking the chat is actually a great way to bring them in. A simple way to do it this time.
00:37:46
Michael Shaun Conaway: Yeah, I mean it's, it's because it's, it's already made and then it gets them interacting in the space as well. And we can tell them, hey, look, we can even tell the, in the audience, hey, I know you're putting stuff on the wall, but if you want to interact with our world, our global audience, make sure you get your profile set up. And there's themes are these themes are in there, in there too. And so because we want to include all the, all the best thinking that seems like it's going to be really powerful. So we need to create some, some walkthrough video stuff. James. And some, something, you know, something with a voiceover that kind of explains the power of, of the collaboration layer of the app, what that means. But those things can probably be produced later, like in a couple of weeks for sure. But some things to think about. And there again, Peter, we're in mvp Land with all of this stuff and every inch we can take forward into 2027 now will be really valuable to us. And if we don't, even if we don't get it all done, we don't get it all done.
00:38:51
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Well, I like the fact that we with the mvv, we test them in the background. We maybe they're not live, but we're testing in theory someone's in the background, you know, experiencing that experience and see if it works and then we can have a checklist. This worked. This didn't work. We needed to do more on this. So we use this as very much a, you know, a proof of concept and we. And then really 2027 becomes the really the big reveal. So I totally introduce doing it that way as well.
00:39:23
Delanne @ Hubcast: To mention too that mentimeter works really well during live broadcasts. We've used it several times for Rion Eisler's big event. We had several of them going and it just is a nice compliment to the stretch break concept because not everyone wants to interact but it's a safe way to interact. Not everyone wants to, you know, share their real name. So it's, it's. We find it quite powerful during the live broadcast and then you have those stats afterwards as well. So we could maybe next meeting could set up an example of how it works.
00:39:58
Mariko Pitts: That'd be great. Yeah, I might have used it in the past, I just can't recall. So it'd be good to get an example of it.
00:40:05
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: The other thing too is if we're going to create these, these watch hubs, however, this is something where the moderator of the hub can run these mentimeters. So when we go take a stretch break we're going back to. So all of your, you know, if they're in different zoom rooms that are all coming in or breakout rooms, then that's where the moderator can take the experience deeper. Do the, do the interactive side and then everybody comes back and shares their experience of what they just did in the on the stretch break. So now it goes from global to local and then back to global because that's. Then you can start dealing with multi language. You can start dealing with multicultural. You know, certain areas want to focus on aspects of data areas. So it would be interesting, it would.
00:40:53
Alex Melnyk: Be kind of nice if we had them in multiple countries to showcase a little something like that. That could be interesting.
00:41:00
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: But because that's always been the biggest challenge is that, that how do we get this into a multi language, multi regional type platform. So it's not all coming from the same North American thread that we're getting people out from Southeast Asia again, people of South America. And I think there's huge potential to, if we can create that bridge of technology that people can feel that they like. Right now, YouTube has got a whole new thing where we're doing real time, real time translation on live. Right. And yeah, so there's a lot of that stuff that, that is becoming more and more available, especially through AI. Those are some of the tools that are going to be really powerful where you can watch a show and completely. It'll even redo the character where they'll, they'll, you know, speak in the language of choice and have their lips move the right way. It's, it's, it's quite amazing.
00:41:59
Michael Shaun Conaway: We've done a bunch of that. Yeah, it's, it's, it's really interesting. It's, it's also like as James and I were talking and Mark are talking, it's also B minus.
00:42:08
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: It's not there yet. It's not there, you know, and, but one, the one thing they do do well is transcription and transcription where people can select the language and least get the lower and get the, the, the closed captioning. So. Okay, great.
00:42:27
Michael Shaun Conaway: So I think, I think a little bit I'd like to see from us as a team to have a paper edit of what we think one of these might look like so that we know what things you're going to be out to get. It doesn't have to be exact, but we're going to do this kind of video, that kind of interview. I'm also really curious about Marco, our super headliners, the keynotes by the people that everybody's going to want to see. I don't know who that is. I don't know if it's the McTaggart or, or the Ocean Bloom thing might be something we want to have in entirety as well. I know that, Peter, that we can get everything in entirety, but in that kind of evening show format a little bit we might want to look at not only just excerpting everything, but when it's a really, really great keynote that we do the whole thing in there as well. And then on the Saturday night maybe there's two hours of content and then there's the. What is it about an hour of Ocean Bloom?
00:43:29
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, well, we can do a bonus material or something.
00:43:32
Michael Shaun Conaway: Yeah, this. That's just in its entirety so that they can have that experience.
00:43:36
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So I think I do have, I do have, did have a kind of a sample Run a show. If I could show my screen one more time. Let me show you. So this is. And again this was before we wanted to put more the more more of interactive but I did have a 120 minute sample. So opening sequence that kind of brings them into the show. Visuals established tone scale, global connection. Then from 3 minutes to 12 minutes day in review. It's an extended montage that would come from the local producing team. First image of what's going on. 12 To 30 minutes would be a keynote feature one long form 15 to 18 minutes keynote. Then you do a host reflection object deliver depth substance to the main stage. Then do community stories block one. This is where we can do the the night before Friday. Talking about different people in the different groups. Voices of the way storytelling sequence. That's for half an hour. Then 40 to 55 live interview conversation. That would be from the staged in Portugal. Host is working with. Maybe it's one of the thought leaders, one of the different speakers. Expand ideas and dialogue and reflection. Then we do that transition break. You know take a five minute stretch break to reset. And then second half keynote feature long form two we go feature another keynote. Broaden intellectual emotional range on it. Then go back to community stories again. What's going on Reinforce purpose and impact. And then a global interaction segment expanded live chat integration. Audience Q and A polls and guided reflection questions that can be the mentimeter. And then turn audience into an active participants. And then feature story impact film. So we could then take a feature on one of the documentary style pieces. Perhaps it's something that's being delivered to as part of the show. And then a host closing reflection key days of the theme since this the inside both keynotes grounded into international closing loop. Intentional closing loop. And then an outro previous from preview for the next day call to action return to gauge share any credits and ambient visuals.
00:45:45
Michael Shaun Conaway: So that sounds super cool. What is what I mean like some of those segments require. I guess the thing is if we're stressed on the ground and can't get enough segments edited, we can always put more of the content from the stage.
00:46:00
Mariko Pitts: You can just do more long form.
00:46:01
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: You do more long form. And the way that we usually approach this is we actually have backup content. So we pre produce content that's already there to fit in the segment. So we say we're looking for dailies coming out of you know, the social team. And and because I also have a full deliverables sheet for the local team. So we say okay, today we need to get this. This this, this, you need, you know, 20 streeters. You need two conversations and you need a. You need a highlight reel and that's fantastic. So we give them all of that individually and then they can do their own assignment. How many of the Alberta girl. I forgot their names. My apologies from the.
00:46:43
Mariko Pitts: Oh, Kayla, Ray and Amanda. There's two of those. The. The. And then there's the team coming.
00:46:47
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: And then the gentleman that was videography.
00:46:52
Mariko Pitts: Another person, a videographer. I need to get probably local.
00:46:55
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So we probably got four people that's on that social team. And then again with deland being there, she. She can interact with them and finding out we have the packages. If we can predetermine what the packages we're looking for, then we start from the day that we. We load in to the day that, that we're loading out. Those are elements that we can be capturing, capturing and, and pre producing. So when they go back to Tess, all Tess is doing is she's taking the cards and moving them around. Okay. We got this piece there. She might do a trim, she might take a segment out of it, but she's the one that's kind of curating it for the final piece that goes out on the broadcast.
00:47:34
Alex Melnyk: Okay. Have we identified the host yet, Marco?
00:47:39
Mariko Pitts: I'm still thinking it over.
00:47:42
Alex Melnyk: Are we looking at one host or is like, there may be one main host and then there's, you know, I was thinking two.
00:47:48
Michael Shaun Conaway: Yeah.
00:47:49
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: It's always nice to have like, is Marty K. Casey going to be there? I know she's.
00:47:54
Mariko Pitts: I think she's coming this year.
00:47:56
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: She's not. She would have been great. She's. She's someone that can talk so fluently.
00:48:00
Mariko Pitts: She knows a holo moment well too.
00:48:01
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: She knows it really well.
00:48:03
Alex Melnyk: So could we entice Marty?
00:48:05
Mariko Pitts: Casey would have been great. Huh?
00:48:07
Alex Melnyk: Could we entice her? I mean, if we have been in touch. I don't know who that is.
00:48:12
Mariko Pitts: We're always in touch with Marty. I don't understand. She's deep. Yeah. So I wonder if Laura, maybe Laura might actually know why she might not be coming. Not sure. But I can. I can always text Marty too.
00:48:22
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: And see, having a strong personality that has the energy. Yeah. That's what we want. And then do a. Do a co host that kind of fits. And you do a co host for each day.
00:48:34
Delanne @ Hubcast: Right.
00:48:34
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: And. And that could tie back to the theme of the day.
00:48:39
Alex Melnyk: Do you think?
00:48:40
Mariko Pitts: I was thinking Rachel too, but I don't think she could hold it as a main person. That's a. Marty would Be good with that. Someone that's a showrunner. That's actually really good stage presence. Marty's strong with that.
00:48:51
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: He's trained.
00:48:52
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, exactly. She's trained. So I think something I was thinking,.
00:48:56
Michael Shaun Conaway: Rachel's a good for like the counterbalance. The lighter.
00:48:59
Mariko Pitts: Exactly. Bringing in some magical elements.
00:49:01
Michael Shaun Conaway: She loses her gravitas sometimes with her. Her kind of giggle thing that she does. So.
00:49:06
Mariko Pitts: Yeah. And also she's not great with a bunch of. Yeah. The serious logistical stuff. It's almost like when you're thinking sponsors, you're thinking this. It's like it'll. It'll escape. She's just a magical plugin.
00:49:18
Michael Shaun Conaway: So we'll figure out to make her be the magical plugin. I like that.
00:49:23
Mariko Pitts: Just magical plugins. Yeah.
00:49:24
Alex Melnyk: We also have Connie and Andrew as potential videographers. Is that correct?
00:49:29
Mariko Pitts: They are actually. Yeah. And I haven't worked with them, so I can't really vouch for any of this stuff. I know that they've made some good work, but maybe. Peter, have you worked with them yet?
00:49:36
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Who's that? Alexander?
00:49:38
Mariko Pitts: No, no, no, no, no.
00:49:40
Alex Melnyk: They used to live up.
00:49:41
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Oh, Andrew. Yeah. No, they were with.
00:49:45
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:49:46
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, he's. He's good for. He's not good for fast turnaround, but he would be good for doing a. A highlight or doing a summary of something. I just don't know how fast they can turn it around. But he's. He's a great.
00:50:01
Mariko Pitts: Even on site grabbing B roll and stuff and getting it to you guys. You think he could do that? If they're additional pieces, I think. I mean, I'll probably have to do stuff like that.
00:50:13
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: He works with his wife and the final products that he create. Great. I just don't know. I've never worked with them on a. On a run and gun turnaround.
00:50:21
Alex Melnyk: Okay.
00:50:22
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So I don't.
00:50:22
Mariko Pitts: We can ask them. We should probably do a big call with all of the. The media team. We'll get them all on the social team together. Since once we have a dialed in and run a show, we can go through it with them and then, you know, basically like you were saying, you have templates or a whole. What I need and give them their roles. And I think that would be great. Once we get to that point, then we'll bring them all in and then they know what to do. It's plug and play at that point. Okay. But I actually think.
00:50:49
Delanne @ Hubcast: I think Mark should be on meetings moving forward. Just. He'll be the switching person in the control room and directing. So he loves to Know, like, ahead of time, like, every minute, what's expected. And he's one that really loves following the runner show. And, you know, he's willing to change things up when we need to, but the more we can inform him ahead of time, I think that would be great. So I'll make a note to make sure he's included next time.
00:51:20
Mariko Pitts: That would be awesome.
00:51:21
Alex Melnyk: And then I had one other question about, like, the watch parties or the things that we're going to create. Do you, Peter, or do you have any onboarding, you know, documents? Like, we need to kind of now really think quickly and on our feet about creating. We would love to do at least somewhere between 3 and 5. I think 3 might just be more realistic because of our short time frame, and we want to do them well. So have you. Do you have three in five?
00:51:52
Mariko Pitts: What were we asking? What was it?
00:51:54
Alex Melnyk: Watch parties at least, like, for the messaging? Yeah, like, just like, letting people,.
00:52:03
Delanne @ Hubcast: Like,.
00:52:03
Alex Melnyk: Even, like, how to do it so, I mean, we can talk them through it.
00:52:08
Delanne @ Hubcast: Like, Gina was really promoting the Watch Party aspect for Peace Begins at home Summit. And I don't think she. We didn't have many people sign up. I'll look into what her messaging looked like. And I think it came down to, like, there's some people who wanted to go to a venue and make it a big thing, and then other people, it was more casual in their home. I can dig out some of their.
00:52:34
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Messaging and see from a technical standpoint, to create a watch party is very simple. All that needs to happen is in our control room. We have 11 different stations that we can go in to inject stuff into things. And so all we do is they spin up their watch party, we log in as a participant, and we literally inject the broadcast into that. Into that room.
00:52:58
Alex Melnyk: So you just log into the zoom.
00:53:01
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: We just. So, yeah, what we do is on our system is we log in. Our system logs into us as a participant, and once we log into that room, we now have access to all of their individual videos, for instance, and then we can bring them into the show or we can interact with them. So what I would probably suggest is that. And we can do some testing is that having a group, having a zoom room come into our room, more or less, and through a computer. So we can work on some. Some testing for that. But that would be the easiest way where we just are injecting into their rooms and we can do multiple rooms. Okay.
00:53:46
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, So I think that's probably the easiest way to do it.
00:53:49
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Now the Other way is we create a room that everybody comes to. Right. And it becomes one watch party or we give them a breakout room with inside the. The one infrastructure as well. The other thing you. The thing you run into when you get into watch parties is if they're registered watch parties you're safe. But if they're not registered where people are just jumping in, then all of a sudden you got bad actors starting to show up and you never know what could happen. So you want to try and do it through some sort of registration that's. And it would be good that you offer them a watch party room and you take on the registration of it and then it's more people to collect in the initiative, in the capturing.
00:54:31
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, it'll be behind a paywall. So basically they buy the ticket and then they get the link later. A direct link into it. Yeah, yeah. So it's not an open thing for sure. Okay. Okay. So why don't we. Because we're about to approach the top of the hour. Just some of the. Absolutely need to do right away and get you guys so that we can start to create the get everything into the run a show and get Mark happy and you know, we'll figure this whole thing.
00:54:59
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Well, the big thing for us is getting. If you can send us your runner show. Is it at a Google Doc of some sort or how is it? Yeah, okay, that's perfect. It's a sheet and then unschoolish. Even better. So we can then look at bringing that into our sheet and start populating it and it gives us a good. And now this run a show is for the main room show, right?
00:55:22
Mariko Pitts: Yep.
00:55:23
Alex Melnyk: Well we also met put our streams up there which are our workshops. They're on that but it's identified as a stream so you'll see that. So we don't have a run of show. That's just the planner. The main room we haven't.
00:55:35
Mariko Pitts: But you'll be able to see, you'll be able to understand what you're focusing on.
00:55:39
Alex Melnyk: It's very obvious the only things that are not in that room are the somatic in the morning like the Qigong yoga and meditation and then the streams workshop which are our workshops and not.
00:55:51
Mariko Pitts: In the main room.
00:55:52
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So just so to manage expectations. So what we are doing is capturing the main sessions as multi camera. Right Is. And, and what about the breakout rooms? These other. Other rooms that are happening? Are there. Is there need for any capture from them? Are they going to be captured by the social teams or what's happening? With the other.
00:56:11
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I think some B roll separate and we might consider some of the bigger workshops like the Spoon Betty one. That might be really cool one to grab, you know. But no, the breakouts aren't generally filmed.
00:56:26
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Okay.
00:56:27
Alex Melnyk: And we'll get a little coverage from the social team, but not the whole thing. It's just.
00:56:32
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:56:33
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So mainly the two areas that we're responsible for is capturing the main keynotes and then. And taking the interface from the AV company for audio and so so forth. And then it will be this interview or where we set up the show for the evening broadcast. Are we going to do that from the main room or are we going to do that from an outside area?
00:56:52
Mariko Pitts: What's your thoughts on our area? Probably different area. We'll have to think about that. I can think a little bit more about where that could look like when I get there this weekend too.
00:57:00
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: But yeah, because what I. My plan is to bring two systems. So the, the PTZ system, that's for the main room and then a separate system for the. For the broadcast. And so the idea is to have them too. And then when you do the test, America, when you get on site, you're going to do that at the venue where this event's taking place, right?
00:57:23
Mariko Pitts: Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah. We'll get in there and do that test then.
00:57:26
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Awesome.
00:57:27
Mariko Pitts: Awesome.
00:57:28
Alex Melnyk: And that will probably be next week.
00:57:31
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Okay.
00:57:34
Alex Melnyk: Tuesday, Wednesday of next week.
00:57:35
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So we'll. When you're picking up the equipment from Tess on Wednesday, we'll perhaps. What we'll do is we'll schedule a meeting for the three of us on site and I can show you exactly what the pieces we're giving you and they're really plug and play. If, you know, if you can plug your computer into the Internet, you can plug this in. They just turn it on and it finds home.
00:57:56
Mariko Pitts: Got it.
00:57:57
James Redenbaugh: Okay.
00:57:58
Alex Melnyk: And then are we thinking of any coverage at closing party at the Crocodile Armis or. No, just. Is that just social media coverage?
00:58:07
Mariko Pitts: It'll be the social teams. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, social. And then Andrew and Connie probably on the video and maybe another guy. But the social teams will be out there too. So it'll be. We could probably put a nice little reel or something together after. That's really kind of. But remember, that's Sunday. Right. So most likely we'll be going live there. So we might want. That's another location. I want the locations to be dynamic for where the hosts are going to be. It says 6ish, so we probably can just have them set up there. And then they can show background, like, everything that's being built. And then we'll weave in some additional material when the music starts, a facel in them. And, you know, things like that.
00:58:53
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Someone waving your.
00:58:54
Mariko Pitts: When someone's waving.
00:58:57
Alex Melnyk: This is what. Yeah, this is what happens in the Netherlands. I mean, you can see my house. It's all. Our house is all windows. And people just stare in your windows like they know you. And my Dutch.
00:59:13
Michael Shaun Conaway: If they're curious, well, you can put the blinds down. Alex had the blinds down. And close the curtains.
00:59:17
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: But that is funny.
00:59:21
Michael Shaun Conaway: It's also King's Day today, so that means people out drinking and. And. And having a good time tonight.
00:59:27
Alex Melnyk: So much more likely everybody's dressed in orange, and it's like. It's mayhem out there. We actually live on a canal, and it's usually really quiet, but this is kind of.
00:59:37
Mariko Pitts: That is hilarious.
00:59:41
Alex Melnyk: We Googled that when we first came here because we're like, what? People just stare right at you. They stop and look in your house and stare at you.
00:59:48
Mariko Pitts: And like.
00:59:48
Alex Melnyk: And then I.
00:59:50
Michael Shaun Conaway: It's not that one. It's not actually weird after a little while because you realize that that's just like the open Dutch culture. The who point is, like, we had these big windows, so that. That were an open book to the people in our neighborhood. And. And then we don't like the. Everybody knows her dog because she sits in the window, and our neighbors walk by and they wave at us to the front. That's so. It's very communal. It's just not.
01:00:11
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: You grew up with, so.
01:00:12
Michael Shaun Conaway: Well, it's. It's. It's a little bit like that.
01:00:15
Delanne @ Hubcast: Meanwhile. Meanwhile, we have water buffalo that walk.
01:00:19
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: By us, and then a stir in the window. So Delano was in the kitchen. There's these three water buffaloes giving her to the eye.
01:00:27
Delanne @ Hubcast: Curious. They're so curious.
01:00:30
Mariko Pitts: Very cool.
01:00:32
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Last point is. So right now, it's scheduled that we arrive on the 27th to Portugal. So it's because of the time zone. We leave on the 26th, but we get there on the 27th. So about midday on the 27th. And then that gives us two. Two and a half days. That is a. Is that what time or what days are you guys arriving? Probably earlier, obviously.
01:00:59
Mariko Pitts: Oh, yeah. I mean, I'll be there starting this weekend, but to the hotel. I can't recall. Actually, I need to check with Clear. I was gonna make sure you guys get into. Let me connect you. Because we haven't given you your code to register. Right. Huh. Okay, Let Me connect you with Hera and Claire to do that.
01:01:24
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Gave us a day to do technical recon order, and then the setup day for testing on the 29th. And then.
01:01:31
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, no, that's. Yeah, we need you guys there earlier, so we need to. Let's just. That's a good day because you're arriving on 27th.
01:01:38
Alex Melnyk: That's good.
01:01:39
Mariko Pitts: Okay, let me check.
01:01:40
Alex Melnyk: Next.
01:01:41
Mariko Pitts: I'll add Harris. She's not already in our group. And then get you registered, get you to code. Okay. Okay.
01:01:50
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, no worries.
01:01:52
Mariko Pitts: Great.
01:01:53
Alex Melnyk: And then you're still. You're leaving when?
01:01:55
Mariko Pitts: June.
01:01:55
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: We're. We're. We're gonna be right there to the first. And then we're toying with the idea of. Of extending our stay. Go stay in an Airbnb for a week after. We're gonna try and take it. As I mentioned, it's kind of. It's my 60th birthday and Deland's coming up to her 60th as well, so we might take a week next year.
01:02:15
Delanne @ Hubcast: Man,.
01:02:18
Michael Shaun Conaway: I'm turning 60 this year, too. It's a good. It's a good year for 60.
01:02:21
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: It's a good year for 60.
01:02:23
Alex Melnyk: When are you. When are your birthdays? Your 60th.

Delanne @ Hubcast: February 13th. Next year.
01:02:34
Mariko Pitts: Next year. That's hilarious.
01:02:36
Alex Melnyk: Okay, you're the young and then.
01:02:38
Delanne @ Hubcast: Yes, exactly.
01:02:39
Mariko Pitts: The young one in the group.
01:02:41
Delanne @ Hubcast: Six months apart.
01:02:43
Alex Melnyk: Awesome. So we'll have you check out then the morning of June 1st tomorrow.
01:02:47
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, we check out. Well, we were going to attend that. There was that event on the first, I believe.
01:02:51
Alex Melnyk: Yeah, that we were going to attend.
01:02:53
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: And then we were going to our accommodations. We check in on the first.
01:02:57
Alex Melnyk: Okay, great. Perfect. That's good.
01:03:01
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, we're still. We're still kind of working, Delan. Unfortunately, her mom has dementia, so we're. We're trying to see can we stay that long or not. So we're just trying to. Working through that. That detail. But 27th is the day that we arrive.
01:03:17
Alex Melnyk: Okay.
01:03:18
Mariko Pitts: Okay, fantastic. I am literally texting Era and Claire. I just added them to our WhatsApp group, and I will have them.
01:03:26
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: And we found out.
01:03:27
Mariko Pitts: Registered. Okay.
01:03:29
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: And we found out because our kid, our son is in the military. We have a. What's called a CF1 card. We get three free luggage on. On Air Canada each, so we might be coming with lots of bags.
01:03:42
Mariko Pitts: That's nice.
01:03:43
Delanne @ Hubcast: All these. All these flights where Peter didn't even realize he's been paying for extra luggage.
01:03:49
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So I buy the minimum without the seat and Then I show up and I show my card and I usually. But they. I say, well, I'm checking in as military. Technically, I am. And they are always nice to you. So you get a. Yeah, I'm sure.
01:04:01
Michael Shaun Conaway: As they should be.
01:04:03
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yes, why not? You know.
01:04:05
Alex Melnyk: Can you get me one of those cards too?
01:04:08
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Oh, you just have to.
01:04:09
Michael Shaun Conaway: You said we were soul mates. I have a soul family here. Somebody tell that to the military. Well, they're spiritually family.
01:04:19
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Exactly.
01:04:20
Alex Melnyk: Michael, Sean used to have a press pass for a while. And you still do.
01:04:24
Michael Shaun Conaway: Yeah, but that's for big. That's for big flight cases. They often will. They'll waive weight and size limitations if you have a press pass.
01:04:32
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Oh, right, yes, that's. I've. I've seen that before, by the way.
01:04:36
Michael Shaun Conaway: By the way, it doesn't even need to be official press pass. I just made, what I designed one in Illustrator. Put my photo in there, printed up, laminated it and then. Because otherwise they expire every year and I just give it that one. And they were like, okay, we'll get you skit checked in.
01:04:52
Delanne @ Hubcast: So that's what we need to do for sure.
01:04:54
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Well, my, the, the. The research I did is that there is no limitations on technical coming into the country. You can come in with equipment and all that stuff. So yeah, just do it.
01:05:09
Alex Melnyk: I remember you saying you didn't need to rent anything locally. Is that right?
01:05:13
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Not nothing. What I do need to rent is heavy cabling and stands there. There's some items that I do need to get. So it's so I don't have to bring my tripod. And you need a grip.
01:05:28
Michael Shaun Conaway: You need some kind of. Of grip package.
01:05:30
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: A grip package, exactly.
01:05:33
Mariko Pitts: Yeah.
01:05:33
Alex Melnyk: I don't know if av, our audio visual company.
01:05:36
Michael Shaun Conaway: Oh no, but we. I'm sure there's a protection house that we.
01:05:38
Alex Melnyk: Yeah, we've already identified a photo place, I think.
01:05:43
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah, it's mainly for me. It's network cable, power distribution and then a tripod for my main camera. Even the small. I bring all the stands for the PTZs. They're really small. So it's mainly my, my tripod and. And again, any lighting kit that we need for that event area. I do have some portable Newers, like battery powered. But we'll. That's why I wanted a lot to carry.
01:06:13
Mariko Pitts: It's always good to just grab them. Yeah, yeah.
01:06:16
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: So that's why I wanted to get there on the 27th. We had a day, full day to do a tech review. If we needed to rent a couple extra Things we could do that on the.
01:06:22
Mariko Pitts: Okay, okay. Photo video that we could probably rent from. So yeah, get some extra. A couple extra things too that don't want to be carried here. But yeah, we could look at that and get some quotes on stuff.
01:06:38
Alex Melnyk: Yeah.
01:06:38
Mariko Pitts: Yeah. Okay.
01:06:40
James Redenbaugh: I'm gonna have a few cameras with me also. And tripods, two kind of mirrorless and a bunch of lenses if you guys need.
01:06:50
Mariko Pitts: Cool.
01:06:51
Alex Melnyk: Okay, that'd be great.
01:06:52
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: DLSLR just mirrorless. Oh, mirrorless. Okay.
01:06:58
James Redenbaugh: Like these R8 and R5.
01:07:01
Mariko Pitts: Oh, cool. Okay. Okay, cool.
01:07:03
Michael Shaun Conaway: Then you're gonna want me to bring my. My. My lenses. I've got a whole set of Leica R lenses that have other Canon mounts on those ones, but I've got an adapter for Sony. No, we don't need all that many lenses laying around the. Around the. Around the venue. But I do have a really nice set of primes. You know, the whole range of like ours. So we can make a movie between the three of us.
01:07:32
James Redenbaugh: Let's do it for the space station.
01:07:36
Alex Melnyk: Let's go to the moon.
01:07:38
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Exactly. This is awesome. Delan, do you have anything on your end that you need to know? Oh, you're muted.
01:07:47
Delanne @ Hubcast: Once I see the initial run of show, that's where my brain starts dreaming the event, you know, and getting to know it very well. So I look forward to that. I think we covered a lot today in an hour.
01:08:04
Mariko Pitts: Yeah.
01:08:05
Alex Melnyk: And let us know D if you want to have another chat after you've digested that a little bit. Like we could just jump on and.
01:08:11
Delanne @ Hubcast: I know sometimes last minute changes happen as well, but that's what's nice about the Google sheet, seeing, you know, when there's changes.
01:08:25
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Awesome.
01:08:26
Delanne @ Hubcast: Not there'll be lots of changes, right?
01:08:30
Alex Melnyk: No, not at all. And there's a couple of tentative things that aren't filled out because they're not yet. They're either in bright yellow or have got a big. Or the title's not confirmed but. Or a question mark by it. But you'll see. We'll probably have that cleaned up for sure by the end of the week, so. But right now there's a few. A few sensitive things in there. Mara didn't ask this, but do you do hair and makeup at all for any of the talent?
01:08:59
Mariko Pitts: We don't know generally, no, but I tell them to bring it. I mean there's like Kayla Ray and them can help. Sometimes they talk about it, but yeah,.
01:09:08
Alex Melnyk: Maybe just for some of the people we might be doing little interviews might be nice just because it'll be really.
01:09:13
Mariko Pitts: I think. Yeah, it's true. Especially because we'll do interviews stuff and all that.
01:09:19
Alex Melnyk: That powder puff and stuff.
01:09:22
Mariko Pitts: Some matte stuff. Yeah, just get off oil off of them, generally.
01:09:26
Alex Melnyk: Yeah. Okay.
01:09:28
Mariko Pitts: All right.
01:09:30
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Yeah. So, Michelle, Microsoft, and Alex, when are you guys going to Portugal?
01:09:35
Alex Melnyk: I'll be there on the 255 5th and Michael Sean on the 27th.
01:09:42
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Before this event, we're doing the Global Earth Repair, which is in Washington state with Rick Lukens and Skeeter, all those guys. So we're running that in the same flow as this. Oh, so we are doing that from there. We're still kind of. We're still. They've kind of pulled us into the last hour on this, but if it makes sense, I'll make sure you guys have access so you can see.
01:10:05
Michael Shaun Conaway: That'd be great to see.
01:10:08
Alex Melnyk: To get a sense of it.
01:10:09
Mariko Pitts: Yeah.
01:10:09
HUBCAST INTERNATIONAL: Before we do it, get a sense of what we're doing.
01:10:11
Mariko Pitts: Okay, cool. All right, fantastic. Great job, team. And we'll be sending a bunch of emails back and forth and getting everything situated, so. But, yeah, Delaney. Anything you need, Peter, just feel free. We can always jump on some calls and stuff, too. And I'll be more available this week until I can get out there, and then I'll be on a different time zone. But, you know, that's nice that you'll.
01:10:34
Delanne @ Hubcast: Be there for almost a month.
01:10:37

Mariko Pitts: Very much looking forward.
01:10:48
Michael Shaun Conaway: And you won't have to.
01:10:49
Delanne @ Hubcast: Maybe.
01:10:49
Michael Shaun Conaway: Maybe we'll just start scheduling all the calls so that none of us have to stay up late on calls either.
01:10:54
Mariko Pitts: Exactly. It changes the whole game. Actually. Actually, Well, I have Michael, Sean and Alex. Do you remember who Aurora.
