Bad leaders refer to leading their people as "herding cats." An impactful leader can "lead from behind," giving his or her team what they need without micro-managing. Ed Shearer with Control of Kaw Valley is a great example. Thanks, Ed, for trusting us to produce a recruiting video series.

Ed's not herding cats. He's herding wildlife out from homes. Learn more about the species they handle here: https://www.crittercontrolofkawvalley.com/wildlife/

Aylea Cole is managing her last VHS to Digital transfer with us. And it's the most significant one! Thank you to the Watkins Museum of History for trusting us to digitize 197 tapes with World War II oral histories told by Lawrence area veterans.

Aylea joined us right before the pandemic as part of KU's work study program. She has thrived and is now moving onto more passion projects with her video work. We wish Aylea nothing but the best and thank her for contribution to our small business.

The VHS to Digital service will continue by appointment only. To learn more, please visit: https://mattydmedia.com/vhs-transfers

A big thanks to KSNT 27 News for covering the Ride for Veterans story over Memorial Day weekend: https://www.ksnt.com/news/local-news/annual-ride-for-veterans-set-for-next-month/

This effort started in Kansas and is impacting lives nationwide. This year's ride will conclude with a dramatic scene at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee. Combat veteran James Greer says that if he can make an impact from the small town of Leonardville, Kansas, then so can you!

I'm proud to be producing a half hour documentary about the 2024 ride!

Did you know that Eric wrote a screenplay that became a top 5 Netflix Horror movie? Can you name it?

Encouraged to see child safety on social media taking center stage today in Congress. As much as we love and rely on media, there needs to be a balance and basic protections for kids. Serious issues like child su***de and child po*******hy are being discussed right now on Capitol Hill with CEOs of the major social media companies. Watch live on PBS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDmeGQcpRLQ

As a small business that relies on social media and YouTube, Matty D Media LLC takes a stance in our own modest ways. For example, we never upload "kids bath time" footage to Dropbox when we delivery files in our VHS to Digital Lawrence service. Although the files are delivered directly to parents (or the individuals themselves) in a secure pathway, it's still not worth the risk of having that private content online in any form.

Lawmakers are looking to business leaders today to simply Do the Right Thing. Hopefully, common sense and proper care prevails from this community of adults.

The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lives large in Lawrence!

Last night the LRM Foundation brought this crowd to its feet. This musical, “Steps of a Good Man,” (written and directed by Rita Rials) inspired all ages with its timeless message. (Shout out to co-videographers Eric Scherbarth and Rayelle Stauffer). If the sub-zero temperatures or the Chiefs game kept you at home, we’ll have the LRM Foundation Theatre YouTube replay ready for you soon!

In the meantime, please check out https://lrmlawrence.com/about/ to see all the other great work LRM is doing for the community.

📲Not sure whether "boosting a post" is worth it?

📈See stats below on 2 recent case studies where we put a modest budget behind content. The best approach is long-term planning and strategic content marketing. However, there are times when the clock is ticking and you need to blast something out there!!
