Mark J. Kirk, Managing Editor of SolarPanelReporter.com got his start with podcasting from Scott Paton. Here is a clip of Mark telling what exactly made Scott’s training some of the best he’s ever studied.
You can see Scott live and in person at the Learning Annex in New York, March 14th, 2010.
Apple sold their 250 millionth iPod this week.
10:23 am: The iPad, of course, has a built-in iPod and the interface is a lot like a full version of iTunes. Album art in the center, controls at the top of the window, playlists and such on the left bar. Similarly, the iTunes store is a lot like its full Mac counterpart with live previewing.
10:24 am: Rumors of Apple ditching Google be damned, the iPad’s map functionality is entirely based on Googe Maps. iPad has full-screen street view. Looks pretty fantastic.
10:25 am: Jobs is now viewing a fullscreen HD YouTube called “Wet and Woofy.” Portrait and landscape transfer is again, seamless.
10:28 am: Jobs is now watching Star Trek (2009) on the iPad. Sleek, seamless, chapter listings on the left nav.
10:29 am: The iPad is 0.5 inches and includes a 9.7 inch IPS display with full capacitive multitouch sensors. 16 – 64 GB of flash storage. 1GHz Apple A4 chip powering the device. Bluetooth, speaker, microphone, 30-pin connector (standard iPhone connector).
10:31 am: Apple claims 10 hours of battery life on the iPad and a month of standby time.
10:32 am: Jobs is now inviting Scott Forstall SVP of iPhone software to talk about third party apps for the iPad.
10:33 am: The iPad can run any existing game or app in either their native resolution or in scaled fullscreen.
10:34 am: Forstall is now showing ESPN’s X-Games Snowcross, showing how the native resolution is displayed in the center of the screen with the OPEN GLS game. Much to our surprise full-screen scaling looks good with no framerate drops.
10:36 am: iPhone Software Development Kit will be available today so that developers can start creating apps and games right away.
10:37 am: Apps designed specifically for the iPad will be promoted on the iTunes App Store.
I just wanted to thank you again for your help getting my podcast up and running. I received notice this AM from iTunes that it has been approved !!!! In just 2 days we have had 45 downloads…..
Your training is the start of something big for me.
Thanks again Scott & Sam for the education of an opportunity.

I was so happy to receive this letter!
Hi Scott,
I want to take a moment and thank you and Jim for this course. I just
approved my first meditation album with CDBaby today!!!
It never would have been possible without your help and coaching. I knew
nothing about any of this before I started. Actually I’m still not sure how
I pulled it off, but I did. Your advice to start with the podcast and get
familiar with the process and recording was a huge help.
I know this first album is not perfect and far from it, but it is so
empowering to actually have done it. And having the podcast up (I love
mypodcastworld.com by-the-way) and seeing it downloaded thousands of times all over the world and getting some 5 star ratings on iTunes gave me the
encouragement to keep going and complete the premium product.
I now have the physical product for sale on my website, ebay, and
distributed with CDBaby. I have no idea what will come of it, but making it
this far has opened my eyes to what is possible in an even greater way…
I was one of the people who won a free course and you also provided the
coaching session free. I hope someday I can repay you. If you knew my life
situation and condition this year, you would understand what a miracle
having this information come into my life has been! I am in tears as I write
this…
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
A very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you and yours!
God bless you -
Cheers,
Brenda Smith
What a great 4 weeks!
You did an amazing job. I am excited to see the phenomenal podcasts that will result from the training.
As promised, when you have 5 episodes done, leave a comment here with your podcast url, email and name. I will make a video critique of it for you pointing out at least 5 areas to focus on.
Thanks again!
Scott
Hi Scott,
Here are my testimonials:
Dan Deyette really knows what he’s doing when it comes to search engine optimization! He masterfully decoded the mysteries of Google and simplified all the complexity down to 3 keys for success: Relevance, Trust and Popularity. Now I know exactly where and what to focus on in order to get the results I’m looking for. Instead of feeling frustrated and hopeless, I now feel empowered.

Stephan Stavrakis is brilliant when it comes to discovering what sets me apart from my competition and creating that uniqueness in the mind of my market. He helped me change the way I’ve been thinking about my work and I know I’ll never see business promotions and strategic positioning in the same way ever again.

Frank: offered a remarkable opportunity and insight into an easy way to achieve my goals, and helped me understand how I can accomplish so much more with much less effort, energy and time.
Stefanie reminded me that it’s not all about me! That in order to be more successful, everything I do is all about them, my audience, the people I’m here to serve. If I do my job of helping them well enough, then they’ll help me. This one key concept can turn everything around in the way I work, my approach to my market, how I relate to them… and the funny thing is that I now know how to get what I want by simply giving them what they really want. It’s not rocket science, but I had gotten lost in the logistics, details, complexities of being a solo-preneur, I’d lost sight of what my work and my purpose is all about.

Hope that helps…
Thanks!

This post will NOT be up here long. So go there now!

“Scott,
“The bootcamp this weekend was exceptional, regardless of the internet glitches. Your content was incredibly thorough and presented in a way that even “not so tech savvy” me could understand it. I’m looking forward to future events and will be sure to pass the word along.
All my best,
Ross”
