INS044 - Understanding Cryptocurrencies with Ben August & Jamie Baker


Ben August and Jamie Baker run a software company in Cairns called MASSBLOCK and they're currently developing tools and apps to help people manage their cryptocurrency investments. I personally knew nothing about cryptocurrencies and was totally unaware how big the crypto world was and how big it's going to become, and the ramifications it will have on our future lives. 

GOOD NEWS: After talking with Ben and Janes I feel I'm now a lot wiser about the crypto world and you will be as well after listening to this podcast episode. 

Today we talk about:

* Different types of Cryptocurrencies and why Bitcoin is the most famous. 

* Blockchains, Digital Wallets and underlying tech

* Why cryptocurrencies are still in its infancy

* Charlatans in the industry - at present, it is like the wild wild west. 

* If you're thinking of investing in cryptocurrencies now, or in the future, do your research and don't rush in.

INS050 - Indispensable Marketing (Tactics & Strategies) with Patrick McFadden

Image
Patrick McFadden is the owner of Indispensable Marketing, and today we discuss the importance of effective marketing and how it can make your sales process easier, or harder depending on how effective it is, and why advertising and sales are sub-sets of marketing.  Advertising is often confused with marketing because it is the most visual part of marketing, but marketing is all about building trust, and your trust is always on trial, so good marketing can build trust, whereas poor marketing can erode it.  Awareness & Education How often do you hear someone say, "I didn't know they did that"? These comments show missed opportunities for the business owner, and it is a sure sign they need to focus more on awareness and education.

INS06 - 7 Steps To Self-Publishing with Michael Hanrahan

Michael Hanrahan owns a publishing company in Melbourne Australia, Michael Hanrahan Publishing, and is the author of Stand Out, 7 steps to self-publishing a book that will build your profile, promote your business and make you stand out from the crowd. Today we discussed: Why the lines between traditional publishing and self-publishing have become blurred. Self-published books use to have poorly designed covers, sub-standard layout and poor print quality. They looked cheap, but not anymore. Technology has changed the publishing world. Everything runs on a digital workflow and it’s now more viable to do short, high-quality print runs. Printing 200 copies is now quite common.
