The Noname Nerd Podcast

We are very excited to have Robert Miller, the Executive Director of Stream for a Cause join us for an interview!  This great organization is leveraging the collective power of streamers of all sizes to enact positive change through coordinated fundraising efforts.  I've had a chance to speak with Rob on multiple occasions even before this interview and, not only is he a dedicated nerd, but he is passionate about positive social change.  Learn more about his organization at www.streamforacause.com.  

It's been a few weeks and that is totally on me.  I thought that I would turn my omission into a lesson with a brief discussion about what can be gained from failure.  But, let's stop talking about it as failure--just iterations.  Also, be sure to listen because we have a new esports team that will be announced very soon!  And you can be a part of it!  Want more?

Everyone says that you should network to grow your personal brand, but how do you actually do that?  What if you are shy introvert?  Here are some tips and pointers to help you get that conversation started.  Want more?

What happens when the podcast hits 20 episodes?  I sit down with my kids for some random conversation.  It's mildly incoherent, involves random comments about milk, and you can learn about just how hot ghost pepper hot sauce is.  If you are looking to actually learn something about gaming, streaming, or content creation, you may want to wait until next week.  Or, head to www.mynerdschool.com for our courses on growing your audience.  Join our online communities at www.nonamenerd.com.

Did you know that, according to a recent survey, in 11 out of 15 countries studied, the largest proportion of respondents reported the most important group to which they belong is a primarily online one?  Check out the study at https://virtual-communities.thegovlab.org/.  This is a big freaking deal in terms of social change and supports the fundamental question that is bothering me right now.  Why do we keep talking about virtual followers and not about virtual leaders?  Why are we so focused on figuring out how we can get more followers instead of asking ourselves how we can be better virtual leaders?  Want to learn even more?  Head to www.mynerdschool.com for our courses on growing your audience.  Join our online communities at www.nonamenerd.com.

This is a special episode that is not dropping at our regular time because I woke up this morning with a new idea.  Well, actually it's an idea that has been on my mind for a little while in terms of a new product.  However, the idea that I woke up with this morning is the idea that I would take you along on my journey of product development from idea to inception.  It might be a winner and it might be a loser, but in either case, it can help you nerds out there who are thinking about turning your stream into a business understand the steps that are necessary to take an idea to market.  Want to learn what the new product is?  Just give this a listen!  As always, you can learn more about turning your stream into a business at www.mynerdschool.com and join one of our online communities for free at www.nerdsbelonghere.com.
