Great explanation by David Bray, PhD - We can all be #ChangeAgents - and I am thrilled to be a Voice of Change at this year's Executive Leadership Conference in Virginia to talk about what is already working at APPCityLife, Inc. - and why it can and should scale to enable others become Change Agents. …see more

I've been thinking lately about success - what it looks like to each of us, what others think about it who are in the middle of trying to achieve it, what it looks like from the other side for those who have "made it" - and the price we often pay for it. This post is on the latter - difficult to write but important to consider within entrepreneurship. …see more

"When we pursue real understanding, we can progress beyond knowledge about an issue like child hunger or poverty to being moved to address the core issues that result in so many children not having a home or bed or even a toy to call their own, who wake up or go to sleep hungry, insecure or fearing for their own safety." …see more

it is my gut feel that if one eliminates human beings, central banks will have an easier time going about their business. having said that i am biased towards less physical cash, but with certain caveats.

if the current cryptoland bear phase depresses you, then watch finnish crime tv series (Bordertown or Deadwind). that should cheer you up.

Really incredible opportunity at Building Engines, Inc. for #marketingoperations #job in #Boston

centralized worlds behave in centralized fashions. centralized gods need to be omnipotent and merciless lest their power evaporates into the ether.

This is a new model for OTT by Rivit TV - crowdfunding show creation based on a free pilot episode. I imagine having an installed base like Kevin Smith (3.38 million Twitter followers) doesn't hurt but it will be interesting to see if someone can achieve success on the platform without it. Then again, this could end up being a “farm league” for Netflix , Amazon , Hulu , etc. #ott #tv #television #televisionprogramming #crowdfunding #internettv #entertainment #netflix #amazon #amazonprime #hulu …see more

I'm looking forward to speaking about inclusion and why our words matter at the upcoming women entrepreneur's conference hosted by New Mexico State's Arrowhead Center. Today is the last day to register if you are planning to attend.

The name of this company,  Welcome to the Jungle , is pretty brilliant given what they do (inbound job recruitment) and, of course, the cultural reference to the universally recognized GnR song.

Good read on the turnaround initiated at Stora Enso  and a good reminder that a great idea can come from anyone in the company: "Interestingly, many of the Pathbuilders who excelled in the program had not been on the radar of Stora Enso’s established talent screening system." …see more

Many #B2B software and technology marketers seem unaware of the critical role that consistency and repetition play in claiming a position, that mental space in your target audience’s mind that you can “own” with an idea that has compelling meaning to the recipient. It’s in this mental space where your product’s most important benefit and the target’s most important need meet, stick together and form a meaningful relationship. You stand out when you use the power of consistency and repetition. Good #marketing advice from Lawson Abinanti …see more

And I thought Blockbuster earning ~30% of revenue from late fees was bad. Airlines are taking hating their customers to a new level. #airlines #cx #blockbuster

Why is it that everything Silicon Valley tries to do regarding investments outside of the SF Bay Area comes off as “the gods from on high will see you now?” Also, while there are valid points regarding taxes and cost of living, this pendulum swing all the way to “the valley is over” is a gross simplification. …see more

Guys, when all else fails, you can always resort to a little harmless - but effective - trickery to throw off the social media trolls!

Check out my interview with @jimbourke , a technology thought leader! @intuit @b0tkeeper @voiceamericaTRN #AICPAEngage #RadicalCPA

Interesting read on how the grocery industry is leveraging tech. To be honest, though, I thought the following would've happened years ago (glad to see it starting to happen now at least): "Last year, Kroger introduced a system called “Scan, Bag, Go” that allows customers to scan and pay for grocery items as they shop — with their smartphone." #grocery #retail #shopping #CX #customerexperience #kroger …see more

Excellent write up from Adam Singer on why using psychographics for targeting is the way to go. And why using generational targeting like "millennials" is decidedly not.
