10 years ago I hired Maggie as a part-time remote tax preparer. She was a stay at home Mom who wanted to do more. She already had her MBA. I convinced her to start her MST which lead her to a CPA. A couple of years ago as our firm decided to do wealth management she went all in and studied for her CFP and other licensing. Know affectionately around the office as Mrs Alphabet. I could not be more proud or more excited to have Maggie Beach, CPA, MBA, CFP® as a partner in New Vision Wealth Management. She delights our customers and truly enjoys the investments. Flexibility is the key to retaining and developing top talent! She did all of this while remote working and working limited non traditional hours. #waytogomaggie #radicalcpa #radicalwealthmanagement …see more

When I wrote about my experiments with Intermittent Fasting [ https://lnkd.in/eUUN_zu ], I received many positive responses. New research shows #exercise , cold exposure, and calorie reduction all help slow down the side effects of aging and stave off #diseases associated with getting older. A new book, Lifespan by David Andrew Sinclair and journalist Matthew LaPlante suggests that we experiment with habits that are easy, free, and harmless—like taking a brisk, cold walk, and eating a lighter diet. I haven’t yet picked up the #habit of including exposure to cold into my life!! Maybe save electricity and take early morning cold water baths! Which was by the way also the custom of the past generations! https://lnkd.in/eHF27xG …see more

"It’s such a unique place to be, there aren’t many businesses like it, there is always something exciting happening.” Great hear from Ugo Eboh at Virgin Money UK PLC

note to self: the keymaster and the gatekeeper should stay close to one another. if not Gozer will be mighty upset.

‪the AI & automation narrative focused on the balance between how many jobs will be destroyed & how many new jobs will be creates is a false narrative.‬ ‪the real AI & automation narrative should be focused on how centralizing it will be and what to do fight that centralization. ‬ #ai #innovation #technology …see more

Our clients deserve much more from us than a nearly useless measurement of what "might" happen with a digital campaign.

I've really got no idea what to believe on the internet anymore. There seems to be such an enormous number of niche websites, some of which seem incredibly well written,, well designed, considered and robust, and some of which are wild propaganda, or edited by maniacs and it's very ( and increasingly) hard to know the difference. Generally, the more they claim to be "representing real voices" and "about fairness and giving a voice" and "believing in debate from all sides" - the more they seem to be right wing nut jobs. Which is troubling. The more they are about progress and what's "right", the more likely to be liberal lunatic fringes. I wish there could be a browser plugin that would change the font to shades of red or blue based on bias, and make the font bolder or thinner based on website popularity. I'm aware of sites like mediabias, but we need more. These are examples of what I mean, NO idea how "good" they are. www.unherd.com www.tabletmag.com www.thepostmillennial.com www.theintercept.com www.bustle.com www.areomagazine.com www.hedgehogreview.com www.theepochtimes.com www.washingtonexaminer.com www.alternet.org www.reason.com www.theconversation.com www.realclearscience.com www.fairobserver.com www.insidesources.com www.salon.com www.fee.org www.propublica.org …see more

Will you take a vacation this summer? It's not about where you go; it's about taking time away from work to refresh and recharge.

"Sorry mate, I can't promote your condom" A company approached me and asked me to promote his condom business. I replied back - "it doesn't align with my branding, but I appreciate the offer". Here's the thing - if he was familiar or follow my content, he would know that I like fried chicken and I'm a geek. -- When it comes to personal branding, it's definitely about integrity and aligning your values with your brand. A good brand has a strong trust factor. To build trust online, it's not hard, it's about creating consistent content that reinforces your positioning. One of the reasons why I been able to gain roles as a brand creator is that I understand how and where I fit in the world, and what value I can bring to the table. I made many mistakes in the last 4 years but I learnt a lot. Which inspired me to re-consider about how I can help coaches and experts build their brand. One that enables higher accountability and action. Each month we focus on creating outcomes. In the 2nd chapter of the playbook, we break down what marketing assets you required to build a consistent brand.

Comments over the last 24 hours highlight two of the tricky trade-offs facing the Federal Reserve: Those by Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari point to the tension between banks' maintaining safety and soundness of the banking system and the pressure on them to extend more credit; and Those by Dan Loeb's remarks (below) and others in the marketplace are part of a push back against Fed for buying junk bonds, distorting markets, encouraging excessive risk taking and enabling more debt accumulation by high credit risk companies. #markets #federalreserve #fed #bonds #investing #economy #FT …see more

The current narrative around technology in Silicon Valley is "just get out of the way of it." Uber is the loudest but iit's a common view. The reason given is because technologies need to find their own water level in society and shouldn't be restricted —  such as with sales taxes, etc. But I disagree. We should be very clear about the type of future we want — not a random future. I'm a big fan of Jaron Lanier's book "Who Owns the Future?" But I think it's about "Who Has a Say About the Future."  I don't own my apartment but I have a say in how I live in it and what must be provided. We don't need to own the servers and software to determine the future we want and Silicon Valley has a important role in making it happen.  Don't get out of the way of technology -- show it the way! …see more

Interesting read on Double Insight, the company that makes the hugely popular Instapot. How they went from zero to everywhere with no VC money and very little marketing. The secret? Amazon .

Hey, I really want to talk to you. Yeah you. I wanna know how content marketing is structured in your marketing organization. Do you have multiple people working for one head of content? Let’s chat. Does a small content team roll up to demand generation? Is content “no one’s job” and just part of brand / comms / PR? If you’d be willing to share some insights via phone or email (or coffee if Boston-based) you’ll be privy to what I learn at no cost and before anybody else. This is not sponsored, just fueled by my own curiosity. So, let’s chat? Katie@katie-martell . com or DM me here. Thanks! #marketing #contentmarketing #b2b #b2c …see more

Bain & Company & Indian Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (IVCA) #VentureCapital report does a good job of highlighting and summarising multiple macro trends across sectors. One of the key trends is the growth of #SaaS companies from #India : -Indian product and engineering talent now rival the best of the best from Silicon Valley. -Products developed from Indian SaaS companies are as good or better than the rest of the world for a fraction of the cost. -There is also increasing comfort & willingness of companies to buy high ticket software solutions without human assistance/selling. 2019 was also the second most active year globally for VC investments: https://lnkd.in/fm-USA9 …see more
