FOMO Fanz: Cure Digital Marketing Fear of Missing Out

In 2018, Over 80% of my revenue was generated via social media and for the first time I decided to breakdown my strategy for content and social media on the FOMOFanz podcast.

We are living in times of division, change, innovation, revolution, resolution and chaos so the question becomes Who Wins The Future of Business? On this episode, I focus on breaking down my insights coming out of multiple marketing events with the themes of trust, collaboration, sales & marketing merging, video and "they ask you answer"

There is no easy button or short cut and video won’t replace anything you do offline but I firmly believe if you listen to this episode and do what the things I told you to do that video will be a game-changer for your business no matter if you’re an entrepreneur, salesperson, CMO, small business owner, college graduate or retired investment broker. 

This action-packed episode is full of great insights and we didn't even get to some in-depth discussions I wanted to have on making the world a better place with online change and the entrepreneur journey good, bad & ugly...  So I will be having Taj on again next month to breakdown those topics but for now I hope you enjoyed this episode and make sure to give Taj a follow on social at:

On today's episode of FOMOFanz we are going to talk Instagram removing likes, the FaceApp stealing our photots OMG and the role transparency is playing in the growth of apps such as Tiktok, Caffenie, Houseparty and even Reddit and Pinterest! As always if you can't watch the entire show you can listen on any podcast player by searching "FOMOFanz"

I was recently challenged by some friends that I didn't leverage or reference my crazy unique background enough within my keynotes or on my podcast and after some self examination, they were right.  So I decided to do what I always do and embrace the change adding a brand new 20-minute intro segment to my Press The Damn Button keynote at Social Media Day San Diego event this past week.

Buckle your seat belts and enjoy this rant where somehow I connect the USA women's soccer team, fake news, TikTok, Nike Kaepernick, and #PrideMonth into one seamless example of the change and shift that is finally here! 

What about those of us unable to focus on one thing this week let alone a niche? On this episode I breakdown what those without a Niche or who I'm referring to as #TeamNoNiche have to do differently to stand out from the noise, leverage their personal brand and grow their business that those with a solid niche don't have to focus on as much! 

On this episode I breakdown all the work I do prior to an interview or panel to make a panel dynamic and engaging.  I share my thoughts on the following topics: Why I don't supply panelists or interviewees questions What I ask for the panelist to provide me as the moderator Does which microphone panelists use matter? What role does crowdsourcing play in a great panel. Keys to making a panel not suck

I believe we are living in the greatest times in history but we are humans have to stop blaming social media or technology for the bad in this world and start fixing the world as humans and allowing social media and technology to amplify the good! 

This past week I took structured detailed notes while watching 3 drastically different programs: Game of Thrones, Brene Brown Netflix Special and Beyonce Homecoming documentary and I was blown away by how much I learned and how I could take something from each to improve my storytelling on my new speaker website, my podcast content and how I tell stories both on video and on stage as a keynote speaker.

I would even go as far as to say most people when they see my backward hat, crazy colored shoes and pager on stage they assume that's a lesson I learned from Steve Jobs and him wearing the same black turtle neck every day...  Well, you're wrong and on this episode the first one after the big 100 celebration I breakdown how this little moment with my 7-year-old daughter captured everything about me...

was living the "American dream" then hit rock bottom and discovered depression which led to true self-awareness which opened me up to self-love which ultimately has brought me to today where I can honestly say I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER... Enjoy a real & raw look as I share it all and whats happened over these first 100 episodes and where I believe my lifes work is taking me! 

How does paying it forward with a Facebook friend request lead to discovering the story of a 27-year-old millennial from Chicago that has gone thru 3 brain surgeries, born weighing only 2lbs and lost his mother as a teenager yet is one of the calmest and most optimistic people I've ever interviewed? This is an episode of how @FindTroy when from being a fan of FOMOFanz to so much more!

Brian discusses the differences between failure & vulnerabilities as well as addressing the core aspects of empathy and why we must move from realizing "The world needs more empathy" to understanding the mindset shifts required to go on this path and start changing today!
