So I may or may not have peeked at the transcript from Drift’s June 9th, Virtual Showcase 👀
Here’s what I saw 🤯
“Find a true passion and love for things that you're doing that keep pulling you through times where you're not performing.”
The whole conversation was filled with life lessons in goal-setting, failure, and pursuing your dreams. It’s definitely something you don’t want to miss.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention who was chatting...
Danica Patrick, the world-record holder for most top-10 finishes of any female in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2015, and seven-time top-10 finisher.
AND
Maggie Crowley, 2006 Winter Olympic Speed Skater and Product Manager here at Drift.

My Drift videos have no sound or image. How do I enable my camera/mic to record a Drift Video?
If you find your mic and camera not be working properly while recording a Drift Video leaving you with blank screen or no sound, here is how you would to make sure that your settings are aligned up to successfully record a video.
First, you will want to make sure that you are on Google Chrome and that your chrome permissions are enabled in your settings. This help document here covers how to enables these:
Next, depending if you use a mac or windows computer you will have to enable particular permissions as well in your system settings. Please refer to these help documents to see how you will enable these mic/camera permissions
Mac Permissions: https://gethelp.drift.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039607154-Allow-Camera-Mic-and-Screen-Recording-Permissions-on-Mac
Windows Permissions: https://gethelp.drift.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039612714-Allow-Camera-and-Mic-Permissions-on-Windows
Once these are all enabled you should be able to record videos using your camera and microphone!⚡️

Re: Office Hours: Content 📝
Hi! Thanks for organizing this talk, really look forward to learning from you. Few questions:
- What playbooks do you use for content distribution and are they the same for ebooks vs events?
- Measuring content success - always on top of everyone's mind :) traffic is easy, but how do you show the influence on the pipeline?
- I love your emails with content roundups, plain text, multiple links, not traditional approach with 1 CTA and templated emails. Seems that in email content distribution you treat customers and prospects equally, how do you avoid over-communicating with your customers? Would you be open to sharing your knowledge on the paths to this way of content distribution?
Thank you!
Re: Office Hours: Content 📝
Hi! Excited for this. Here's what I'm hoping to get some advice on. I've only ever been a "content team of one" in my career so far, but next week I'll have another content marketer joining me (yay!). We'll be acting as peers (i.e., I'm not his manager). I'm wondering:
- What processes or editorial workflows do you have in place to maintain content quality? What would you recommend for a team of two content marketers as far as reviewing and editing work?
- Do you ALL create across every content type (books, blogs, video, newsletter) and channel (social, email), or do you divvy those up? How do you divide ownership?
- Does one person "own" content reporting?
- How do you set individual and team goals related to content? What do those look like?

Re: What are some fundamental practices you are using on LinkedIn in order to create opportunities?
It's overwhelming and the advice is often contradicts itself because what works changes so QUICKLY!
Rather than filter out what works and whats fluff - I personalize every single message with a video - NO PITCH. Who needs a pitch if the goal is to start a conversation?
Justt added you on LinkedIn Darren, so I can show you what I'm talking about. See you there!

Re: Tips For Optimizing Page Speed When Using Drift
Hey there, @Lennart Wesdijk - I'm one of the engineers working on our new widget.
In terms of the DNS lookups, we definitely have some sprucing to do there and are actively working to put many of the calls that we make behind one or two domains in the coming months and are leveraging DNS preload within the new version of the widget to help with the initial handshake time. For the fonts, the new version of the widget will only pull in the font selected.
Appreciate the tips/feedback whenever you have it :)
