Week 1 - Part A : My Blog Template

  "One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple." --Jack Kerouac , The Dharma Bums One of my first champion Golden Retrievers was named Matigan Dharma Bum. I think I've always been a fan of Jack Kerouac and romance of the Beat Generation. The poetry. The creativity. The freedom. Art for art's sake.  I have to say, I don't find much inspiration in the Blogger templates. Hop on over to WordPress and the choices are downright paralyzing. Getting back to the opening words of Mr. Kerouac, there is something to be said about the simple, especially when the goal is to draw one's attention to the written word. Social Media is usually rooted in the written word. Brevity is key in the digital age. Our attention spans have atrophied. Twitter. Memes. Vine (RIP). TikTok. Short bursts of dopamine. My challenge as one of the older students in the class is to discover what the younger generation finds entertaining. Most likely not Jack.  For this template I de...

Week 3 - Part A - Aesthetics, Design, and Branding

JamiLin I totally went down a rabbit whole on JamiLin's site. What a mess! Who the heck is JamiLin? I would have loved it had she told us right away. "I am a 59 year-old woman selling products to make you look younger. I'm also into new age stuff: you name it. Crystals, veganism, meditation, feng shui." Her website could use a little Feng Shui. But then I started clicking around. She's a crack up! Her YouTube videos pull you right in. Then you come to realize that funky horrible website just sucked you in for way longer than you intended. Heck I was clicking on all the wrinkle creams wondering if I too could eliminate my turkey neck with ingredients found in my own kitchen. Oh! Don't use hemorrhoid cream on your face. And on Facebook? She posted 12 times in the last 24 hours. Perhaps this site really works for her? This is not the face of anyone using a professional web designer. This lady proudly states she made it herself. As for the whole CRAPHTED part. You...

Week 2 - Part B : Business Research

-

  My research is on business consultants who are also former Navy SEALs. I am undertaking this business for the class because my husband is a retired Navy SEAL who just finished two masters degrees in Global leadership and Organization Development. He just started his consulting agency. He is now working on a book, but he needs paying clients. I am hoping that I can help him on the marketing end of his new business.    The public is hungry for anything SEAL related. The SEAL books sell well and make their authors famous, even if the book is terrible and/or the SEAL had a lackluster Navy career.     Alden Mills, Unstoppable, Inc. Former Navy SEAL, Author, Keynote Speaker, Leadership Training, Inc. 500 CEO, Entrepreneur, CXO Advisor https://alden-mills.com/ Alden Mills capitalizes on his SEAL tenure to deliver keynote speeches. His website says he uses his experiences as a SEAL commander and as the founder of a consumer goods company (Perfect Fitness) to help org...
