The Crypto Tech Women NFT is the third community project I've invested in over the past week. This is part of my attempt to develop a point of view on opportunities for community leaders and creators that I support to begin to take advantage of Web3. I learned about the project from a share in the Decentraliens Discord channel, and I was excited to see I had joined early enough to be part of the public mint. Not quite early enough to experience being part of a "whitelist" or pre-sale, bu...

I remember exactly where I was when I decided to wind down Hearing Experts Alliance. Janice and I were living in Boston. It was mid-January, we were right in the middle of a brutal snow storm, and all I could think of was how I wanted to be anywhere other than where I was right at that moment. I wanted to be back in Costa Rica with my homies, meditating under the Vida tree. We still had the physical private practice, and I felt trapped by all the structure we had created over the previous fou...

One of my big personal goals for 2022 is to write more. In service of this, I’ve invested in two programs and communities that I believe will arm me with some new skills and frameworks, while also creating accountability to show up for myself: Linking Your Thinking I’m working on fine-tuning my Personal Knowledge System (PKM) for faster recall of thoughts, ideas, and information. Ship 30 March Cohort I’ve never had a shortage of ideas to write about, but I’ve struggled with the fundamentals o...

I didn’t understand what the big deal was about Drafts App until yesterday. I use the 2021 iPad Mini as my main content consumption device. And while it’s great for consuming content, if you want to avoid a ton of copy/paste and app switching, it’s quite difficult to save links and articles into Obsidian, as part of a “read it later” strategy. And copy/paste is the last thing I want to be doing on a device with small screen real estate. I’ve been looking for a frictionless way to save links a...

If an application process is part of your coaching, consulting, or course creation business, there are three key steps that you can take to set the stage and confidence for an amazing call with your future customer. Sadly, most people overlook these steps, and instead end up on calls that fall flat, and experience a lack of connection, coupled with zero confidence of their own ability to coach towards a decision. There’s nothing more deflating, and the result of experiencing sales calls in th...

I’m pretty excited to share my initial review of The Invisible College with you, as it really speaks to two big goals I’ve had for the first half of 2022:Find easy to digest, and fun resources for learning how to break into Web3.Start building a point of view on what it might look like to integrate this model into the communities I support with my work.Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard about Web3, and all the potential for disrupting current online publishing model...

That's the question I've been asking myself this week as I somehow managed to stumble down a rabbit hole into the brave new world of Web3, and more specifically, Mirror.xyz. It's my intention to develop a strong point of view on whether this is a platform that matters in support of two of the authors I'm partnered with in my business. Both are looking to self-publish in 2022, and I love the idea of minting these publications as NFTs. I always feel late to the party when it...

It’s hard to admit that it’s 2022, and I’m a complete Twitter newbie. No more fronting. I joined Twitter way back in 2008, and then performed an unforgivable act: I bought a bunch of bot followers on Fiverr, so I could “look cool” to all my corporate cubicle mates. Then I checked out of Twitter and nothing much happened with my profile for the next decade. Yeah. I was one of those guys. Low self-esteem, and confidence in short supply, trying to make myself look like I was the next incarnation...

Last week, I shared that Mirror.xyz and other web3 writing platforms likely represent an early mover's opportunity for writer's looking to create an audience during the Social Token Revolution. Since then, I've found a few other similar platforms, and it's still unclear which, if any, will emerge as the winner. I plan to continue to investigate, but I thought it might be useful if shared the actions I took last week in getting started, as well as a few initial observations...
