John's Videos on YouTube

By John Bandler

I decided to build out some videos on YouTube because I had a lot of teaching material but it was only reaching a finite number of students through traditional teaching. The world is a big place, so I started putting some onto YouTube.

1. Topics of my videos (now or someday)

Law
Cyber
Cybersecurity
Government
Criminal justice
Management
Policies and policy work
Learning
Whatever else I feel like.

My videos are simple PowerPoint lectures. Not entertainment, not edutainment, no fancy graphics, no AI tools, no AI slop, no production team or editing team, minimal editing.

The graphics are mine via PowerPoint with my limited skills. It's rudimentary, but it's me, and it helps my process to think and refine and communicate.

I incorporate work from my prior lectures, articles, or books, and try to improve my thoughts or delivery.

I plan my thoughts ahead, create a PowerPoint, refine it, then record. I sometimes pause recording between slides, just to get a breath or collect a thought, which keeps these moving faster than they might. I am getting better at editing now and can do that just a little bit, but it is minimal (cutting longer pauses or the glaring mistakes). That means you may hear some pauses, misspeaks, mistakes, background noise.

In sum, my skills are limited, there is no production team, I don't have a lot of free time, and I'm not trying to be perfect.

Maybe that makes it more natural, like a regular presentation or conversation.

If you are in a hurry you can always listen at 1.25 speed. Or maybe these are not right for you.

2. Here's why I built these videos:

I have the material and concepts mostly done already, from teaching and speaking over the years.
An aid to current students.
An aid to someone else in the world who might want to learn that concept or information.
Insomnia help -- if you are stressed and can't fall asleep, my lecture will help you and allow sleep to take over.
People need solid, reliable information on law, cyber, cybersecurity, and learning.
- Some people realize they need it and also want it.
- Some people want a solid, no-frills style and are not looking for entertainment.
Some people prefer to watch a video instead of reading my written resources.
Some people just want a quick video, right now, instead of joining one of my online courses at Udemy.
I can give and share what I know.
- Others have shared their knowledge on YouTube which has helped me and my family learn many things, including about science, math, the world, and more.

5. Additional resources and my YouTube description

The first slide of my YouTube video contains the date I recorded it, which is also noted in the description.

The description has links and additional references, including to other videos, articles on this site, and more information (including the date the video was posted and date the description was updated).

6. Creative process and tools

As indicated above, my videos are a slide deck and a lecture of my creation and delivery. No AI tools are used to brainstorm or create or build (just spell check grammar check tools native with my software). There is no production team. There is barely any editing. Later videos have minor editing, allow cuts of my many pauses, mistakes, and misspeaks. Someday, maybe my editing process will become more sophisticated.

7. Disclaimers

All my videos and website all come with the usual disclaimers. They are not legal advice or consulting advice and are not tailored to your situation. They contain many simplifications, might become outdated, and sometimes contains my opinion (of course, opinions differ among different people). There will be some misspeaks because I don't always edit after I record (early videos I did not edit, later videos I edit and correct more of the mistakes).
