trying to win the internet.
We need to talk more candidly about the problems within our professional world, not just the tech industry that’s been getting a lot of attention recently but in all markets, in all industries, and in all types of businesses where there are women and men.
Essentially, everywhere. We need to create more open dialogue and better reporting. We need greater courage and leadership from everyone (and especially those in official leadership positions).
Sometimes the best advice is also the most simple. Well, if I’m to be honest, any complex piece of advice is probably bad and too complicated for its own good.
I think of the many times that I’ve met with my own coaches and mentors and although the situations and circumstances may have been fairly labyrinthine it all could be boiled down into making a series of simple decisions that ultimately was able to draw out deep and wide outcomes.
My brother has been actively investing and researching cryptocurrency and is quickly becoming a relative expert on the subject, especially compared to myself.
He’s gone one step further and, as I’ve shared in the past, launched a new YouTube channel to educate folks on these types of things. Honestly? I’m learning a ton and it really is in digestible chunks that I can listen to on the go.
I don’t always end up liking the original domain names that I purchase and very few last the test of time. The most obvious long-lasting domains that I have are actually this blog (http://john.do) and my proper name URL, among others.

Hey folks,
Wow, has it really been that long since I sent you one of these? Yes, yes it has… on May the 4th actually.
And that was a pretty important day, by the way… I had publicly revealed MNML App and wanted to share it with the world. I’m glad it’s out and I’m glad folks are finding it useful, naturally.
But that’s not what this newsletter is about, of course. I had some inspiration recently that I wanted to share with you and I thought was important enough to open up the newsletter editor and jot a few thoughts done.
I’m currently grinding through Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast, Revisionist History and I particularly enjoy the way that he works his way through a number of different topics and forces you to reconsider and reevaluate them with a fresh perspective.
Every single episode elicits a few head-nods and a few “ah-ha’s” and I really love that.
This is really neat:
A framework for entry-level web literacy & 21st Century skills.
Time to level-up a bit.
I saw this shared randomly on the interwebs sometime ago and I thought I’d capture it here and add a few wandering thoughts related to hiring.
So, here you go:
