When it comes to building a successful empire you can be proud of, here are some of the things you will want to make sure that you do.
Why Consistency is Key to Successful Marketing
Marketing is a pretty nuanced business. Your aim is to subtly but very effectively push the consumer towards your products or services when they (usually) have a whole bunch of options available to them.
My giant peppermill
The audacity of putting a gianormous screw top pepper grinder on top of and included with my peppercorn refill changed my life and I'll never go back. No more peppermills for me, it's storming ground pepper baby. I'm calling her Florence!
8,011 meters in four easy pieces
I checked out of work a little early this afternoon and got some rowing on my Concep2 Indoor Rower, my trusty old Model C with the PM5 monitor upgrade.
My memories of 9/11
The entire world came together to love and support us after the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001.
I'm my own worst enemy
Every day is a series of successes, failures, excuses, being a weather wimp (which doesn't work because I have an erg), and blaming a launch sprint crunch. It's all bullshit.
Aragon Could Be the Future of Business Administration
At 3PM GMT on May 17th 2017, Luis Cuende & Jorge Izquierdo launched a token sale to raise money for their Ethereum-based blockchain technology that would disintermediate the processes associated with running a corporation using a framework known as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). By 3:15PM GMT, the token sale was over and they has raised $25 million for Aragon Foundation, parent organization of the Aragon Core platform and the Aragon Network (AN). It takes a lot of star power to sell out of anything in 15-minutes.
B2B Branding Strategies That Will Win Over Big Clients
Creating a winning brand is difficult for any kind of business, but it’s particularly difficult when you’re dealing with big clients.
Running: Sun, 2 Sep 2018 19:50:49
Day two of two in a row. Hopefully I can keep up a daily run of at least 2 miles a day. I'd prefer it to be 4/day but I didn't sleep well at all last night so I'm being gentle.
My sun bleached orange kit bag
I left my safety orange Hill People Gear original kit bag in the window in the sun and now it looks like I've done some serious tie-dye job on it.
Running: Sat, 1 Sep 2018 17:13:56: first flight with my new to me eBay-find ANT+ only Garmin Forerunner 910xt
I'm taking my very first flight with my new to me eBay-find ANT+ only Garmin Forerunner 910xt. Got it a week ago but this is my first time out on the road.
I've started a very little weight lifting habit I will build upon
Now that my pad’s a weight room, I need to keep my forward momentum. I worked out using a combination of TRX, bench with kettlebells, and a 37-pound resistance band, doing a mixture of presses, rows, fallouts, pullovers, tricep extensions, dips, kettlebell bench presses, and close grip presses.
My pad's a weight room
A plumber came by my pad to fix my tub and he told me that I live in a prison weight room. Okay, he didn't say "prison" but it was all in the tone. It's true.
Why men shouldn't stop running
For those of us who aren't naturally as smooth as a dolphin or who aren't religious about their waxing or manscaping, it takes a couple days of running for all the hair in your running shorts to be brutally torn out by the roots; after which, it's all smooth sailing.
Running: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 20:13:19: I realized that I run like a snowshoer without snow or snowshoes!
I realized that I run like a snowshoer without snow or snowshoes! Made 4 miles again! Very lovely, show, cool, meander, all the way to Shirlington and along 4 Mile Run, then to Walter Reed.
I'm a true-blue South Arlington runner
I just did a Strava heatmap and the results are in: I'm a true-blue South Arlington runner.
Running: Mon, 13 Aug 2018 21:16:16: Made it to four miles!
Made it to four miles! Made it to four miles! So slow but very nice and amusing and refreshing.
I've always been a slow runner
Sometimes I feel like I was much quicker in my 20s and 30s. Well, I wasn't.
Running update
Okay, I've completed nine runs in the last sixteen days. Up until now, I feel like it's all been shaking down my body, making sure everything works right.
How to win friends and influence influencers
The more I can become a helpful, useful, wise, and generous intermediary between creators and brands, the more effective I can be when it comes to making that love connection–and being sure that connection makes the mark.
Getting some rowing in (I never remotely do it enough: frequency, intensity, or duration)
I was able to motivate myself enough, even after a terrible sinus headache, into doing almost seven thousand easy meters. It wasn't a lot in terms of intensity, distance, or duration, but I got it done
Running: Wed, 8 Aug 2018 20:20:19: I was hungry so I ran to Whole Foods for prepared dinner
I was hungry so I ran to Whole Foods for prepared dinner-- I put my hunger at the end of a two-mile run. Sort of an athletic food tax. I ended up taking the 16G bus home instead of making it a loop.
Running: Tue, 7 Aug 2018 21:15:50: It's my longest run so far since my running renaissance
It's my longest run so far since my running renaissance. But I cheated because, by the time I hit the road, it was a quarter after nine at night It's late, cool, and I have water.
Running: Thu, 4 Aug 2018 18:40:21
Well, this was only .70 miles longer than regular but it was much more scenic. The dorky hat I'm wearing is a heart rate sensor. So worth being a dork.
Running: Thu, 2 Aug 2018 21:22:21: got my groove back
out halfway but got my groove back. So glad the rain stopped and so happy I could maintain motivated even after 7,000 meters plus going like crazy on the erg.
Running: Wed, 1 Aug 2018 19:17:01: got er done
Slower and shorter but got er done! This awesome, super big and super orange chest rig performed beautifully.
Influencer marketing is like a wedding
In many ways, influencer marketing is just like a wedding: the wedding is being thrown for the bride; however, the reception is thrown for the guests.
Influencer marketing should be fun
Pattern your influencer marketing campaigns on comic cons and you can’t go wrong: people dress up in cosplay, who knows what happens at night, and there’s shameless branding, selling, promoting, marketing, and influencing everywhere you look. It’s built in!
Running: Sun, 29 Jul 2018 20:02:07: 3-miles slow jogging
3-miles slow jogging, .32 miles spirited walking. I was creaky today. Need to stretch and use my rollers tonight.
Running: Sat, 28 Jul 2018 21:32:39: Third run of the rest of my life!
Third run of the rest of my life! Night run. My body was more physically tired tonight so I guess this even slower run is sort of a recovery run? My form was more like marching band leader than even slow Jogging. You know what that looks like right? In marching band? Huzzah! Activity: Run
