The MIC is LISTENING! Show

"I Can Go With The Flow" - Ask Me Anything Episode!

Sometimes you have to change things up to see if change is good. Change can be a great thing, especially if it progresses a current situation or set of data facts for the overall good. And as such, we're doing an episode that hasn't been done and is long overdue - ASK ME ANYTHING! We have all heard and seen how LinkedIn has evolved into the the business focused social media platform and we've probably felt some pressure to engage, either through comments, posting and the trendy - digital content creation. Even the term - Digital Content is amorphous enough that it encompasses as much definition as the Cloud (Yes, nod to my techie friends). So....what questions do you have? NONE are too basic or out there! In fact, the more bizarre the question, the more fun! Here's something to #GnawOnThis [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/gnawonthis] to kickstart some convos: * Who should be creating "content" * Isn't putting yourself out there, more self indulging at its roots? * Who cares to listen to me? * Could I be destroying my brand or my company's brand (employee and owner alike) * What is considered appropriate messagine these days? This week's guests: Avil Beckford at The Invisible Mentor [https://theinvisiblementor.com/] Andrew Deutsch with Fangled Group [https://fangledtech.com/about/] Mike Ashabraner on LinkedIn: @redneck1 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/redneck1/] #podcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcast] #podcasting [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcasting] #digitalcontent [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/digitalcontent] #business [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/business] #leadership [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/leadership] #marketing [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/marketing] #youtube [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/youtube]

"Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect" with Joyce Deuley

"But here I dreamt I was an architect And I built this balustrade To keep you home, to keep you safe" - The Decemberists, "Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect" If you aren't familiar with The Decemberists, seriously give a a song or two a listen. They are amazing. And even better live. So let's talk about dreams, the future and what that actually means to us. We've seen Hollywood depiction of hyper sleek, fully automated and perhaps sprinkle in the ever popular, dystopian world. But how can we even get there? Maybe the answer lies in some of the current innovation trends we see today. We've all heard the term "Smart Cities" and we certainly know that practically everything we buy is bluetooth enabled or connected over wifi. * So, what does this mean? * Are we still in the dream stage? * What are OUR Dreams for the future?

"We Can Work It Out" - Resolving Conflict with Leslie Nydick

"Think of what you're saying You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright Think of what I'm saying We can work it out and get it straight or say good night" - The Beatles, "We Can Work It Out" How many times have you had days when you have to stop yourself from really typing what you think? Or if you are in a meeting and you grit your teeth because you fundamentally disagree with the topic at hand. We've all been there. And it's not fun.
