Phoenix Startup Week

Last week, I went to Phoenix Startup Week, a local conference for startup companies. It was inspiring to hear about the things people are working on while learning how to grow my own startup.

 

How to promote

I just posted up an article about marketing and how I discovered its actual purpose throughout my years working with marketers. Promotion is the second half that comes with making something and it's process, marketing, is simply a tool to getting your ideas out to the world.

 

Recommendations and stuff

Because most of my reading these days has been marketing articles, I haven't been able to get in much reading of books. But I have caught up on the latest season of Black Mirror which was great. And watched a documentary on Netflix recently that kinda blew my mind: Jim & Andy, about how Jim Carey filmed Man on the Moon. Also, a couple of fun, short games I enjoyed on my iPhone: Plug & Play and Florence. Oh, and the Hulu series Future Man was pretty damn funny!

 

That's it for now! Feel free to reply to this email with any questions/comments, or if you have any recommendations for stuff I should check out, or just to say hi and let me know what you're up to.
