In today's episode Ben & I review The Dead Seas, episode eight of Captain Planet and the Planeteers. I'm not sure if this has been clear this far into this run but I'm a bit of a softy when it comes to the oceans. I'm also unable to let people bullshit others about the issues pertaining to them. This is compounded when the issue centers around poor…

People love free stuff, don't we all! And giving away free stuff is a great way to demonstrate your knowledge, make new contacts, and share something of value to genuinely help other people. But (you knew that was coming!), tricking people with a promise of free info or help really isn't on. You see it quite often online where an article promises a…

One key aspect of marketing is knowing exactly who your ideal customer is. Once you know this, it makes your marketing so much easier to do as well as much more effective. I hear people say "but my product/service can be used by anyone". Just because it can be, doesn't mean to say it should be ;) Think about what is important to you. The kind of bu…

I need to get a top of the range camera first! I'll do it next week when I have more time! I haven't bought the right microphone yet! I need to spend more time researching it!

In today's episode Ben & I discuss an article he found questioning the ability of “organic farming” to meet the needs of growing global populations. The article seemed like a thinly guised propaganda piece dedicated to GMO apologetics to me, but I’d be remiss in saying there was little value in questioning my own suppositions. The conversation gets…

Something that a lot of people find challenging is coming up with ideas of what to post on social media.

You then take individual poin…

In today's episode Ben & I review The Conqueror, episode six of Captain Planet and the Planeteers. I’m not sure that either of us could really place a message for the episode.
