Tl;DR — more Feednet (now in audio and training form) coming soon, with 5 Minute Speech Coach fast on its tail…
What’s New: Data Collection
I started working with groups way outside my Chicago specific local projects in the last few years, and pushed myself to build 30 decent explainers across channels to get better at iteration, training/teaching, and some new mediums (mostly video + IG stories/design). I also kept working on 5 Minute Speech Coach, an audio course I hoped could fill the void of decent, consistent media spokesperson trainings that were also affordable.
I also did 25 interviews with organizers + activists on how 5MSC could best serve their needs. Since the problem here seems to be that there aren’t many scaled resources (priced affordably), I wanted 5MSC to help solve that problem. At the end of the day, I found that while the people I talked to were excited about 5MSC, the barriers to them using it or buying it were… familiar.
In fact, they were so familiar that I found basically exact same 3 problems I have encountered in social movement communications over and over again.
(Just to be clear, these interviews were informal — not IRB approved.)
