This episode re-visits the FIDO 2FA mult-pass I’ve been testing as well as a cool new product I just got – a faraday bag. That’s more of a spy term – it’s basically a signal blocking bag – used to protect signals from going in and out of the bag. Now you would use it to protect your smartphone, credit & debit cards, key fobs, garage pass,etc. Keep unwanted signals out, and keep all your digital info safe.

In today’s episode I discuss the secret to social media success is simple having a plan. creating your social media strategy is not as complex as many people think it is and without it you’re guaranteed to spend time chasing your tail on social media rather than making the kind of progress you expected. Let’s start off by getting the definition for the term strategy. A plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim. For many of you that idea seems too far reaching since how social media works and all the possible moving parts are not fully comprehended by any of us. that’s why lately I’ve been pitching the idea of just posting every day start by posting a single photo or picture everyday then add elements of hashtags and see your results. once you’ve done that you’ll have the courage to move forward and start creating video posts every single day or maybe adding video via stories to your already daily social media posts. Start with a simple social media strategy. Pick a platform you feel comfortable with. Get an account. Start posting everyday. (level 2 post photos of yourself daily as well) […]

Today’s episode #028 of the Digital 100 Show is about that magically question I get asked all the time. What should I be posting today on social media? This not so difficult question is just another excuse people use to complicate social media & the results its may bring. In reality you should be posting to social media multiple times per day – this will help you take the attention of the users. Then if the content you produced is of value the users will subscribe, stay watch and engage with it – this is your sign of success. But it all revolves around producing good content. Similar to learning to swim, I can’t say the only way to swim is to have a perfect body, perfect swimsuit and dive perfectly into the water otherwise you are a horrible failure. The reality is your need to get into the water to learn, you need to take chances and produce all types of content to find what you like, what your audience likes or doesn’t. That’s where the real gold is found, not in sitting pool side saying I’ll wait for the perfect moment to learn to swim ( as outlined […]

In today’s episode 027 of the Digital 100 Show I explore the comments section of content online, today the comment sections means alot more then it ever did. Some user still don’t leave comments or engage with those who or even worse, they don’t try to engage comments from their users!

Today’s episode 026 of the Digital 100 show, which is all about dealing with the many challenges you encounter when building your digital business, start-up, etc. A recent podcast by Jocko Willink & Joe Rogan really connected with me, and made me realize how many of you are avoiding the pains of building your digital business or making video content. Jocko Willink Podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkqcY4CAuBFNFho6JgygCnA Joe Rogan Podcast https://www.youtube.com/user/PowerfulJRE The reality is we focus too much on the goal or big happy moment and don’t spend enough realizing that acheivement and struggle are the markers of progress in business & life. So avoid these challenges & struggles doesn’t give you happiness – going thru them does. As my mentor would say, “Become a millionaire not for the money but for what it will of you to achieve it.” (Jim Rohn) We need to flip the script on life and realize you only level up in the game but dealing head on with your problems, challenges, issues, lack of knowledge/ money, etc. Avoid doesn’t help us get there, battling thru it, coming thru it is what changes you into someone else – this is where you level up in the game of […]

Here is episode 025 of the Digital 100 Show where I make the realization of why you need to be creating as much video content as possible right now. I’ve always know of the amazing opportunity of video for many years, no surprise – right? Now I was working my first web business in the early 90’s so I knew the value of the internet but I didn’t realize how much opportunity I had at that moment til many years later. As hindsight is always 20/20 – but now I see what Gary Vaynerchuk has been shouting for years. This is the land rush of today, video! Nothing else comes close. That means you need to be produce as much video content on as many social platforms as possible to enjoy the grow this medium will provide you. From 1996 to 2003 you could make a web page, post any meta tag keywords and rank in the #1 spot in a few hours. I was making pages as fast I could but didn’t have enough knowledge of scale, leverage or programming
