How many times have you heard the phrase content is King? Over the last few years it’s one of the driving factors behind why almost every business has a blog as part of their website.
If you have anything to do with creating websites or blogs over the last 10 years, you are most likely familiar with Photobucket. For those that are not familiar, Photobucket has been the go to website to host images online that would be embedded into your website. It was quick and easy to use, you could get any sort of embed code that you needed. So much so that many major websites including Amazon, eBay and Etsy, were using the platform due to it’s reliability.
How often do you do you talk to people and hear them say “I’ve got this really good idea for ‘X’ that I’d like to work on”, only to hear them repeat the same idea time and time again for months, and even years without, making any progress?
I was recently invited to be a guest on the awesome TLDChat, a daily webinar about learning, training and development to provide some insights into how to improve businesses, directly from the people implementing the programs.
More than 20,000 Australians have made the move to Silicon Valley in the hopes of taking their internet startups global. However, the hunt for expert advice and capital is often met with many challenges unseen back home, especially for those dealing with remote teams operating on opposite sides of the world.
I recently launched a new project called Online Learning Weekly. The idea behind the Online Learning Weekly stemmed from conversations that I had with several learning and technology experts in San Francisco. We had all experienced the same frustrations when trying to keep up to date with industry news, best practices, and other general cool things that people are working on.
In theory this shouldn’t be too hard, should it?
I’ve got a lot of stuff going on. I’m the VP of Marketing at GO1, I cover the NBA for Starting5Online, I have an art project with New Zealand artist Leon Taylor called Unseen Monsters, and I love to get out and travel and see as much of the United States as I can with my partner.
Every time Facebook or Instagram make a change to their platform, we see outrage across our timelines and people talking about how this change is going to ruin their business.
I was 28 years old when I stopped drinking alcohol, and it was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made!
I’ve never had a problem with alcohol. I never HAD to have a drink or was an out of control drinker, but I did spend a lot of my free time at bars with my friends knocking back a few cold ones.
I recently posted an article about how I made the switch from being a Civil Engineer in Australia to being the Marketing Manager for fast growing online learning startup GO1. In the days and weeks to follow, I received a stack of messages from people who had a similar experience with their career change, as well as hearing from a lot of people who are feeling stuck in their current path and looking for advice on how to start taking steps towards being able to make a career switch.
