Curators of Content

I’ve been interested in this term of Content Marketing for a bit – intrigued really. The term itself is pretty simple, it means the marketing of content written by other people, the promotion, and sharing of work via Social Media or some other function. If you are writing content, you should share other people’s as much as you share your own. This is a good way to give back to the community no doubt. But when we are doing it with the expectation that – “I shared yours, now you share mine” – it feels a little different, a little

The Final Hack

If you were to measure the amount of hacks shipping in the latest release of your product by the date they were created. You would probably see a hockey-stick style graph. Up until that moment, you’ve done everything right, laid the foundation, put in the effort, plowed through your grunt work – making gains all day every day.

It’s Always a Good Job

If you know something today that you didn’t know yesterday – you did a Good Job. If you tried something new, fell on your face and want to get up tomorrow and try again – you are doing a Good Job. If your work is making people, think and question their approach – you are doing a Good Job. If your quiet actions are drowning out the deafening sounds of negativity – you are doing a Good Job. If you show up early, leave late and never complain about it – you are doing a Good Job. It’s not always
