Education

 I am passionate about learning. There isn't really anything in life I find more enjoyable than encountering new ideas and developing a further understanding of the world.

I am a huge trivia nerd, I really enjoyed college, and I am an Enneagram Type 5 (whose main motivator is knowledge). Education, both institutionally and self-directed, is a passion of mine.

I used to think that I'd really like to be a teacher or professor some day. I guess I haven't totally ruled it out as something I'd accept if the opportunity came up, but now I am more fired up by blogging and sharing what I've learned through writing on the internet.

Education should be more highly prioritized in society. Some societies do a pretty good job of incentivizing their best and brightest to become teachers and help to enlighten the next generation of minds. 

The United States doesn't seem to prioritize it all that highly. So many people are afraid of education or resentful those who have it because they had such a bad experience in school when they were younger. Teaching people to love learning is therefore one of the most important things to teach.

Everyone should be a lifelong learner. Having a sense of curiosity and an understanding of how to find information and how to learn about it is critical to that end, but unfortunately many people are burned out on learning.

I hope that in some small way, my enthusiasm for learning will come through my blog posts and inspire others to pursue their own continued education into whatever they find most interesting.

What Is the Purpose of a Blog Post?

Image
When people are new to blogging and they are trying to research what makes a good blog post or how to improve their blog’s performance measures through their content, a certain type of advice comes up almost every time. “Write the BEST content on your article’s topic.” “Make your article better than every other article on the web.” “Make your post the definitive, most detailed resource available.” “If someone finds your article, they shouldn’t need to look for any other information anywhere else because your post will be so complete that they will have learned all they need to learn about the subject.” This is a wildly intimidating goal to set for your content, and unfortunately, while the intention of setting a lofty goal is that you will end up achieving better results for it, what most often happens is that you will develop a fear of failure and that will prevent you from even starting. Which is the worst possible outcome. Even a failure that gets finishe...

The Importance of Entrepreneurship to the Economy and Society

Image
An entrepreneur is a special kind of person.  The entrepreneur is a life/world/reality designer.  The entrepreneur takes what isn’t yet and makes it happen. Someone who is entrepreneurial or chooses the path of entrepreneurship will create the world that others live in.  Where most people must settle for the way things are and must pounce on the job opportunities they see in the world because those are the limit of possibilities for them, the entrepreneur will choose to create opportunities for themselves and others when they do not see the opportunities they wish for. Clearly, I think highly of entrepreneurs. Can Everyone Be An Entrepreneur? I think that there are some people who lack the skills and the mindset to ever be entrepreneurial. They will go through their entire life only taking what other people give to them or allow them the chance to work for. All of their life’s choices are simply what more spirited people have created ...

The Skilled Marketer Paradox: Do Good Marketers Need Jobs?

 Look around the world of work and at job board postings and you will see a ton of positions open for digital marketers. Companies have come to realize how effective and efficient digital media and content marketing can be in generating sales and brand recognition. Now that they see the need for marketing that works for them, they are trying their best to hire marketers to do that work for them . Often in the job postings there will be a requirement for previous experience. Few if any of the open positions will accept applicants with less than 2 years of previous experience doing marketing professionally. Lots of these positions even want 7-9 years experience. And they don't just want experience, they want proven results. They want marketers who can show them how they made an impact on the businesses they have worked for before. They want to see traffic and rankings growth. They want to see sales and conversions growth. But I see this as fundamentally unreasonable and impossible. I...
