Hooman Radfar is the co-founder and CEO of Collective, the world's first online, back-office platform designed to support businesses-of-one. He's a passionate and purpose-driven leader, and the confidence he has in his purpose is admirable. And I am thrilled to share his journey with all of you today because I think it really speaks to one of my favorite things — the transformative power of learning to redefine success as progress. The Kaizen of it All Because Hooman Radfar has been living with this mindset since he was a kid. Having come from an immigrant family, Hooman developed an extreme work ethic. His parents were also psychiatrists, and he grew up encouraged to be introspective, to reflect on the Why behind things. And then his dad gave him a book called Kaizen, which is about the Japanese principle of continuous self-improvement. When you mix this all together, you get a potent cocktail of personal development and perspective — and there is so much to learn from that. And that perspective came in handy after graduating college, when Hooman had difficulty landing a job after college even with a great educational background. . So he did what he could do while still moving forward: he became an entrepreneur. “I can't be more broke, right?” Continuous Self-Improvement & Ikigai Hooman's path was less about a single choice and more of a combination of many small choices that led to a clear trajectory. But he always had a guiding light, given to him by his father: “Just move in the direction of your dreams.” He made incremental decisions to do so , which started with his interest in building things and fascination with technology. And along the way, it was a process of learning what he was good at and what he wasn't. Hooman sees life as a giant AB test, where we are experimenting to determine the intersection between what you're interested in, what the market wants, and what you're good at. This is the concept of Ikigai, and at that beautiful intersection is where you find a sense of purpose, a reason for being. “And if you could find that and get into a flow state, then you don't feel like work is work. It's just what you do.” Growing to Plant the Seeds for Collective Hooman's first company, AddThis, was a marketing automation platform designed to help website providers drive traffic engagement with these easy plugins. This wasn't just his first company, it was really his first job, and that came with a lot of unknowns. But it ultimately led to a tremendous amount of growth, and it gave him a solid foundation for his next role as a venture capitalist. But venture was a “single-player game.” Hooman missed building and being part of a team. And he saw an opportunity to help small businesses — those businesses like his mom's and dad's — leverage technology so they can focus on their profession and not their paperwork. So he started Collective to be that online back office platform. In hindsight, his current role is a confluence of all these experiences, roles, and interests from his past, culminating in a clear mission and purpose. Building for Purpose, Not Outcome It's those experiences that now give Hooman a lot of perspective on the purpose of a company.  Many entrepreneurs are focused on outcomes. And that singular focus can and does, inevitably, lead to challenging circumstances that can negatively impact people. However, Hooman shares that “a company is just one collection of people who are on a mission to help another set of people.” Subsequently, the job of the CEO is to provide direction to achieve that mission, that “principle that gives them the sense of permanence” as well as the safest path forward. And it's incumbent on businesses to internalize the collective consciousness of its people and not focus on the structure; the culture of your business is more important than the structure of your business. “The real...

Phil Bronner and I have known each other for the last 15 years. Phil started as a self-described snotty-nosed kid running around Baltimore trying to play ball and became one of the most successful venture capitalists in the D.C. area. "I was leaving for school, and my dad said congratulations. You're going off to college. I really hope it goes well. But if it doesn't, you're never coming back here. You're going to the military. And that stuck with me." He started in venture in 1999 and worked his way up, gaining his apprentice-style experience through a big fund that had $650 million under management. "It's hard to learn the business outside of the industry. You sort of have to learn it by doing." After 15 years, he decided to pave his own path and co-founded Ardent Venture Partners. Phil shares his journey of what it is like to be a black man in venture and how we can break the cycle of making deals with "the same people we always have." "How does venture work? It's driven by two things—your relationships and pattern recognition. You do research and other things. But, you also say, well, I backed the person who looks just like that person who reminds me of this person. And that makes you more comfortable doing that deal. So when your networks are white males, it's going to lead to referrals that are from other people who look like them." Phil has an incredible way of seeing things from others' perspectives and finding a workaround to be successful. "Often, we allow emotion to color our perspective on the situation. But you have to pay attention and separate that from your decision-making."

Hooman Radfar is co-founder and CEO of Collective, an online back-office platform designed for freelancers, consultants and other ‘businesses-of-one’.

Previously, he was co-founder and CEO of AddThis.  AddThis was acquired by Oracle in 2016. Recently, Hooman took the somewhat rare step of leaving a perfectly good venture capital job to start a company. In this episode, he describes why the idea he is pursuing felt so compelling he had to make the move.  He also discusses his path to building and selling a company, as well as his immigrant parent’s path to the US.   On How Startups Emerge from their Initial State “There's this murky period prior to figuring things out which people tend to write out of history. Where you're kind of trying to find out what's now called ‘product market fit’. Instagram went through it with Brbn, Twitter went through it with Odeo. You know, you get a group together, you create a chemistry, you start working on projects, and maybe that project works or it doesn't work. But it takes that initial leap to get that precipitate and go.”   On the Time People Mocked Websites that Were “Collecting Eyeballs” ‘I think the way to express it in modern terms is that when you have a flywheel with effectively a cost of acquisition of zero, it's uncommon. And I think now people realize how hard that is and how valuable it is because they know the distribution has value, that data has value. There are a LOT of monetization models:  premium, ad-supported, data-supported.” On Why He Started Collective “There are ‘businesses of one”:  Freelancers, consultants and whatnot. It’s the largest set of entrepreneurs in the country. And ultimately, if you believe in the next ten years, it could be fifty percent of the workforce. Not just the largest set of entrepreneurs, but the largest part of the workforce. And that's all I've been doing my whole career. And I said, wow, this is amazing.

Not just the largest set of entrepreneurs, but the largest part of the workforce. And that's all I've been doing my whole career. And I said, wow, this is amazing. It looks like a straight line in hindsight.” Hooman Radfar on Twitter  https://twitter.com/hoomanradfar Collective https://www.collective.com Hooman Radfar is co-founder and CEO of Collective, an online back-office platform designed for freelancers, consultants and other ‘businesses-of-one’. He is also a Venture Partner at Expa, a San Francisco-based start-up venture firm and studio where he was a founding partner (along with Uber Co-Founder Garrett Camp). Previously, he was co-founder and CEO of AddThis.  AddThis was acquired by Oracle in 2016. Recently, Hooman took the somewhat rare step of leaving a perfectly good venture capital job to start a company. In this episode, he describes why the idea he is pursuing felt so compelling he had to make the move.  He also discusses his path to building and selling a company, as well as his immigrant parent’s path to the US.   On How Startups Emerge from their Initial State “There's this murky period prior to figuring things out which people tend to write out of history. Where you're kind of trying to find out what's now called ‘product market fit’. Instagram went through it with Brbn, Twitter went through it with Odeo. You know, you get a group together, you create a chemistry, you start working on projects, and maybe that project works or it doesn't work. But it takes that initial leap to get that precipitate and go.”   On the Time People Mocked Websites that Were “Collecting Eyeballs”   ‘I think the way to express it in modern terms is that when you have a flywheel with effectively a cost of acquisition of zero, it's uncommon. And I think now people realize how hard that is and how valuable it is because they know the distribution has value, that data has value. There are a LOT of monetization models:  premium, ad-supported, data-supported.” On Why He Started Collective “There are ‘businesses of one”:  Freelancers, consultants and whatnot.

Con la nascita dei social media si è sviluppato un nuovo modo di comunicare stravolgendo le regole tradizionali basate sull’approccio unidirezionale della comunicazione a più direzioni in cui il consumatore, o utente, interagisce, commenta, propone e condivide.Questa nuova relazione tra brand e utente permette di misurare i risultati che si ottengono intervenendo nel processo per migliorarlo e monitorarlo.Quando si intraprende un percorso di comunicazione on-line e social bisogna però definire quali obiettivi il brand vuole perseguire:1)Pubblicizzare i contenuti del proprio sito tramite social media sia in forma organica che a pagamento2)Promuovere la conversazione e la partecipazione intorno al brand direttamente sui canali social per creare coinvolgimento e trasformare il prodotto/servizio offerto in qualcosa di definito e indispensabile nell’immaginario del consumatore/utente.Prendendo in analisi il primo obiettivo è possibile effettuare molte azioni, misurabili, come divulgare contenuti organici sui social media per creare traffico sul proprio sito web per poi misurarne gli effetti (ROI) e sponsorizzare, organicamente, il brand.È possibile, quindi, diffondere i contenuti del sito web sui social media, in questo è necessario collegare gli analytics della piattaforma con i web analytics del sito.È fondamentale inserire le icone del social sharing sul proprio sito web, attività che si può sviluppare manualmente oppure delegare a tools specifici che supportano la procedura di tracking.Un buon strumento che svolge queste funzioni è AddThis, che permette di inserire sul sito le icone di social sharing, sono presenti le principali piattaforme da Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn ecc, collegandoli agli strumenti di web analytics e tracciando tutte le azioni che si svolgono con i contenuti del brand.Ogni volta che un utente condivide un contenuto del sito sui social AddThis registra il click sul pulsante e inserisce il parametro di tracciamento nel link che sarà condiviso sul diario.Anche quando qualcun altro condividerà il contenuto presente sul social verrà indirizzato sul sito con il parametro di tracciamento che permetterà di definire il percorso.Il tools permette di tracciare anche le e-mail che gli utenti condividono con i loro contatti.Nel caso in cui gli utenti sono collegati con il feed RSS un tool molto utile è FeedBurner che permette di tracciare molti dati, tra cui la geolocalizzazione, di coloro che sono collegati al sito.Passando al secondo obiettivo, quindi creare contenuti direttamente sui social per generare conversione, conversazione ed engagement per coltivare il rapporto con gli utenti e diffondere la notorietà del brand, è necessario utilizzare tolls di tracking direttamente offerti dalle specifiche piattaforme, da Facebook Insight, a Twitter Insigtht agli analytics di YouTube.Facebook permette, tramite i pixel, di collegare il social al sito e tracciare il comportamento degli utenti riportandoli direttamente sugli analytics. Grazie a questo strumento e possibile definire il pubblico e le loro abitudini supportando la targettizzazione delle attività.Diversi sono i Kpi, o metriche, da misurare sui social media, anche in base alla natura della piattaforma; sul blog andrò a misurare il trackback, cioè le citazioni al mio blog che derivano da altre piattaforme, i commenti, condivisioni sui social e la distribuzione dei feed RSS.Invece sui social network posso monitorare i follower, le menzioni, le views, quindi la portata, i commenti, e quindi l’engagement, i twett, nel caso di Twitter, e i fan nel caso di Facebbok, gli utenti coinvolti e la diffusione.Bisogna considerare però che diversi social producono risultati, e quindi kpi, diversi; per stabilire quale piattaforma è per il brand più performante bisogna considerare il rapporto tra il numero totale di interazioni, sui diversi social, e il numero di utenti che seguono il profilo.Da qui deriva che se produci contenuti, hai molti follower ma le interazioni sono basse vuol dire che non stai comunicando bene con la tua audience.Per misurare le perfomarce di più social network riportandole su un unico schema è possibile usare tools aggregatori, come Hootsuite, che permettono non solo di pubblicare, anche schedulando, più contenuti in diverse piattaforme ma anche di analizzare e monitorare statistiche aggregate.All’interno del mio canale YouTube e possibile trovare, nella playlist Tools utili, un tutorial sull’utilizzo di Hootsuite e come schedulare un mini piano editoriale.

In the latest episode of the Round Up, Matt Taylor and Miles Pritchard discuss the latest news and articles in data, technology and advertising. This week we discuss S4 investment in first-party data, AddThis removal in Europe, location data innacuracies, and Google's move to first-price auction mechanisms

Even though its a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, the tips still keep coming! Here’s all my SEO and Social Media tips for the week ending 3rd April. You can see the tips first and ask questions on my Twitter feed so give it a follow! Listen on social media for questions about the products you sell. Check analytics for popular mobile devices used to view your site. Then do some testing, make sure it looks OK. Write exciting & descriptive product descriptions. Sell benefits not features & don’t copy & paste! Don’t forget share buttons on your website. AddThis or ShareThis make it easy to add them. Don’t hide javascript & css in your robots.txt file. Let the search engines crawl the code. Make the most of the brands that you sell. Blog about them & have a ‘brand’ week. Hold a Twitter competition to generate engagement, interest & more followers. Create your own #HashTag for your campaigns and track engagement. You can now embed Facebook public video’s in your website just like YouTube. Never ever think your website is finished. Keep adding, improving and keeping it fresh.

Special End of Year Release Announcement We are really excited to announce that we are releasing some features that we hope you'll find useful in the coming New Year: Time Zone Support We have added the ability for you to set your own time zone in your Rezgo.com account. This means that when your customers book your tours and activities, the booking will be made based on your time zone. This feature will ensure that every international customer will be able to accurately schedule their tours. Required Passenger Types You can now set what passenger types are required for an activity or trip. For example, if you offer adult, senior, and child pricing, you can now specify that there must be at least one of either an adult or a senior to book. This eliminates the possibility that someone can book only child pricing for an activity where a supervising adult is required. Send Email When a Specific Booking is Made Do you need to let a specific supplier know when a booking has been made for a specific tour or activity. Now you can add the supplier's email to the details for a tour in the administration system. When a booking is made for that tour, the supplier will be notified via email that a booking has been made. This is particularly useful if you re-sell tours or activities for third party suppliers or supplier partners. Get more exposure with Social Bookmarks We have added the "AddThis.com" social bookmarking button and the TravelBookMarking.com bookmark icon to the category, group and item pages on all Rezgo.com accounts. These social bookmarking buttons give your customers the ability to easily bookmark your products on social bookmark sites like Digg.com, Del.icio.us, Travelbookmarking.com and Stumbleupon.com. Ogone Payment Gateway Our European members will be happy to know that the Ogone Payment gateway is now fully supported in Rezgo.com. Once you have been approved for your Ogone merchant account you can enter in your API information in the payment gateway section of the Rezgo.com settings and begin accepting real-time payments for your tours and activities. Rezgo.com is PCI Certified Credit Card Safe We are very happy to report that Rezgo.com has completed the Level 3 PCI compliance security and self-assessment requirements. We have also completed software certification with both PPI (Payment Processing Inc.) and Paymentech. You can rest assured that your critical and sensitive customer payment information is secure with Rezgo.com. For more information about PCI compliance, please visit Visa's PCI and CISP information website.
