Earlier this week, I had the chance to talk with one of the “good people” on the Internet (and a web video pioneer), Cali Lewis<\/strong> of GeekBrief.TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About 2 years ago, Cali and her husband Neal decided to start a video podcast covering technology news.\u00a0 The problem was, they had zero experience with web video and had no clue what they were doing.\u00a0 But that didn’t stop them.\u00a0 You see, what they did have was passion, character and<\/strong> resiliency<\/strong> (3 traits you’ll always find in successful people…across all genres).<\/p>\n

Today, their little web show (started in their spare-time) has become a full-time job…with 300,000 people<\/strong> downloading their webcasts…everyday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I spoke with Cali via a video chat about how they were able to accomplish this and she openly shared quite a few priceless tips.\u00a0 I recorded our chat…and while the technical quality of the recording is far from perfect (that’s the nature of video chats these days)…like I said, the information Cali shares is golden.<\/p>\n

No matter where you currently are with web video, there are two things I strongly urge you to do:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Watch my interview with Cali<\/strong>.\u00a0 It’s only 12 minutes long…but will shift your way of thinking.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Visit Cali’s site, GeekBeat.TV<\/a><\/strong> (don’t worry, she doesn’t sell anything).\u00a0 It’s one of the best examples I’ve seen of web video being executed properly…and there’s much you can learn by simply watching the shows Cali and Neal produce.<\/p>\n
