I wonder what the world would be like to not have to explain to someone that a emailing prince from Nigeria, a robotic voice from the IRS wanting payment in gift cards and someone 'accidentally' dropping and forgetting a USB drive in a bank parking lot might be the same person.

You can scale anything in your life... business tasks, personal growth tasks, family stuff, everything - except for one thing. What you CANNOT scale is the time you have left. Make each day count.

Twitter is very interesting. People listing themselves as journalists for retweeting tweets from unresearched & unvetted tweets is amazing. I understand social journalism & crowdsourced journalism, but if you don't research, investigate & interview, then wtf? You're only an echo.

Political Twitter is worth a massive amount of experimentation when it comes to content structure & how aligned positive replies are versus opposing viewpoints. This type of social media is super interesting because, in most cases, every post is binary - Us vs. Them. <5% discuss.

Being stupid is not the same thing as doing something that appears stupid. Risk is good. It's the only way to make BIG gains. Calculated risk leads to much more than you would get sitting back & doing next to nothing. Same thing in business - marketing, advertising & sales too.

Is it just me or does most geolocation software 'kinda' work, but not even close to 80% on mobile? Sorta sucks when you need to do programmic customization of content. Any suggestions? #php #geolocation #programming #software

It's incredible how much $ both political parties & the four major candidates (for gov and senate seats) are spending on voips to send mass SMS and make direct phone calls. Spend it on building more publicly seen policy so people know what & who they are voting for. FFS Assholes.

For any #business owners wondering about their website & how it ranks in Google #serps... Google IS NOT a search engine, it is an paid advertisement platform. Don't just focus on #SEO - Focus on #DigitalMarketing as a whole.

Is it just me being 40+, or is it right to dress +1 level above the job you are applying for during the interview? At the least a sport coat with jeans and a dress shirt? I dunno... been hearing stories from the trenches during job interviews from #business that have me cringing.

Yes, things can go that well. Yes, things go that bad. What happens isn't usually the end of the world, even though it feels that way. Find strength in action, hold comfort in your heart and always be moving forward.

You are always one step away from doing something you've never done. That growth is inevitable... if you let it happen, if you accept it, if you flow with it, good things come about. Don't let fear, imposter syndrome or someone "you should trust" screw that up for you! #success

Being self-taught has a ton of advantages. For instance, right now I'm developing a few pieces of #saas for #marketing I can build & just use. I don't have to pay, be inundated with sales calls and upsells nor worry about servers going down. Plus I can sell it myself #weirdflex?

Hey McDonald's . We always stop by for a sweet tea or a cone. Staff on West State St in New Castle PA were absolutely horrible. From "hello?" greeting in drive-through to our order being handed to us without a look is weird as hell? Wilmington RD is aces, though. #trainingmuch ??

Not enough that @wpxi is squeezing out weather ad $ during normal news programming, but now they wait until a series finale to break in with a Breaking News, instead of doing it at 7:59. Cash grabs... the reason why we don't watch and never will watch your news again.
