During the first season after the NBA/ABA merger, the Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers faced off in the Western Conference Semifinals. David Thompson scored 40 points in this game, the third of the series, but Bill Walton's all-around brilliance and the Blazers depth ultimately won out. The Blazers went on to win the NBA Finals, the first and only title for Jack Ramsay and his colorful 70's chic outfits. In this episode, we discuss Walton's impressive passing, Lionel Hollins' verve, positional archetypes, David Thompson's demons, and the funk origins of ABA nicknames. We compare the NBA and ABA aesthetics', touch on some of the ABA's whacky history, and our guest, David Smooke examines how the three-point line is actually a constraint that allows for greater freedom.https://www.nytimes.com/1976/05/27/archives/aba-trophy-returns.htmlhttps://deadspin.com/how-to-lose-everything-and-get-some-of-it-back-1833665975

They discuss Davis's way into consulting, insights on social media marketing, and people’s motivations behind startups. “I spent my money on just online courses. So I bought the best courses on YouTube ads, Facebook ads, Twitter ads, LinkedIn ads. What people spend, I imagine on alcohol and travelling, I've just spent on online courses.” “ I know that maybe I am the person who gets us from zero to seven figures, which is there. But to go to eight figures and so forth in profit, that's either gonna by hiring a great team, training myself or just replacing myself eventually. Because I have no problem with that. It’s like how do we serve our customer base and how do we help people become better thinkers. And I'm biased because I work in management consulting, but I think that's one of the best training for anyone who wants to go down that road and they don't want to start a business, they are not like a side hustler or anything like that. And I want to make sure to continue that.” - Davis Nguyen P.S. If you dig the new Hacker Noon Podcast, consider giving us a 5 star review on iTunes. Also check out today’s homepage.

They cover what went right, what went wrong, as well as some of the noonies biggest winners. “When we were conceptualizing this idea for the awards voting/polling situation, we didn’t really find any obvious, simple voting or polling apps. And as far as we could tell, none of the solutions allowed us to set up a situation where there was a very light touch voting opportunity for users, so we opted to build one ourselves” — Storm Farrell “The tech industries greenest awards! The noonies were built to recognize perfectly the best and worst people and products of the internet, and indeed they were.” “Thank you to the community for taking part. There were a lot of who were really enthusiastic, and I’m grateful.” — Natasha Nel “There’s areas where we can go further with custom voting and how what we choose to build with the future of the product is it’s kind of interesting to think about how content is shared, and then when it’s curated well, how is it shared more.” — David Smooke P.S.

David shares his insights and experiences taking a startup from conception to successful business in the digital publication space. As well as the decisions that motivated the move from Medium to developing Hacker Noon’s own platform. "The writing is on the wall that the next step for Hacker Noon is that it needs to be its own software.” “People telling their own stories. We want to level that up by like 100x, and, the rich people deciding what stories should trend, try and slow that down.” “Where we’re at in the landscape is we’re not trying to break news. We’re trying to get experts to amplify their voice. So when people are doing cool things in technology - research papers from Stanford for example - like that’s an interesting thing for us to republish and get very smart people who are building related things to read.” “I think that young entrepreneurs are better off publishing something small each day than trying to spend two weeks getting into BBC or CNN or whoever their target is. How do I reduce the barriers for me to get something out each day? And each day I can share more of my story and my ideas, and that will attract more people that are interested in those ideas too.” — David Smooke Production and music by Derek Bernard - https://haberdasherband.com/production Host Amber Cazzell - https://www.cazzellreport.com/ https://hackernoon.com/ https://community.hackernoon.com/ https://contribute.hackernoon.com/ https://sponsor.hackernoon.com/ https://podcast.hackernoon.com/ https://twitter.com/hackernoon/ https://facebook.com/hackernoon/ P.S.

A recap of episode 77 of the Cracking Creativity podcast. If you liked it, check out the full episode with David Smooke where he talks about taking small incremental steps, the importance of community, and why you shouldn’t hold yourself back.
David Smooke studied economics and creative writing in university because he liked to write and felt economics had real world applications. He believed these two areas of study would be practical skills to have for his career. After graduating, David got a job as a journalist, but felt his creativity was being stifled. He was given assignments, and was given very little leeway in how he could apply his creativity. So he saved up a few months rent and moved to San Francisco. This turned out to be the pivotal moment in David's career. It was here that he got his first taste of marketing while working for a startup. At the startup David honed his marketing and community building skills. The lessons he learned here allowed him to start his own marketing firm called Art Map Inc. In this episode, David talks about taking small incremental steps, the importance of community, and why you shouldn't hold yourself back. Here are three things you can learn from David: Small Incremental Steps Work Many artists want to run before they even learn to crawl. They want to be a well-known, successful, artist, without figuring out what steps will help them get there. If you've had trouble reaching your goals, that's a sign you might need to slow down. Instead of trying to tackle your tasks full speed, you need to break your goal down into smaller, more manageable, parts. David believes everyone should work at their own speed. "Everyone moves at their own pace and whatever their age is irrelevant." He believes we need to position ourselves to make giant leaps by taking incremental steps. "You have to do a million of these incremental steps to even be in a position to make the leap, whatever the leap is." So, no matter what stage in life you're in, you can make strides towards your goal. You just need to be patient and practical about it. The Importance of Community One of the most important and overlooked aspects of a successful creative career is finding your tribe or community. As artists, many of us would prefer to work alone or in isolation, but we can't do everything ourselves. The most successful artists have a community they can count on in their moments of need. David believes community engagement is much more important than vanity metrics like likes. An small active community around your work can make the world of a difference. "One hundred likes aren't worth as much as one comment. Someone else actually contributing and being a part of it is always been more meaningful to me." David owes the growth of his agency and publications to the community he's built around them. "Really a lot of the initial growth, from the beginning, I owe to the community." It has allowed him to grow his following from zero to tens of thousands of subscribers. It is how he built his business. Don't Hold Yourself Back One thing that holds artists back from growing their audience is holding work to themselves. If you have a tendency to hold yourself back when sharing your art, you are doing your fans a disservice. "If you're a good artist, you're probably doing a lot more than you're putting online, and you're probably more interesting to look at your actual work and talk to you then it is to browse and search for you on the internet. So closing that identity gap is a lot of where I would start with." David also believes you should share your work before it's even finished. It allows people to see your process while you're in the act of creation. "I would also say that a major barrier that I see is that people being scared to put things out there before they're what they would call finished. You know, it's very acceptable and good marketing to put out there the process that you're doing, while you're doing it." Don't wait for your work to end up in a gallery, or in the hands of your customer, to share it. Be proactive with sharing your art. "You shouldn't wait to finish a painting, get it in a gallery, get it sold, and wait for that customer to put the painting online. You don't have to do that to market your art." What many artists fail to realize is that your work is interesting to other people. People are interested in your process and how you create. Share that with them and you will start to build a community around your work. "There are so many things around what you're doing that's interesting content to other people, that will create your audience and community." Read more shownotes from episode 77 with David Smooke

Learn more: http://linkhumans.com/blog/inbound-marketing-david-smooke From the article: Inbound marketing is a great way to get people to your own message. At the simplest level, it’s driving traffic to your values. I really look at it with the rise of the internet as the best way to market because as you put out your message, your ideas, your content, your status updates, you end up attracting people that align with how you already see the world. So instead of paying for direct mail and ads and trying to convince people it’s who you are, you just keep telling people who and what you are and who you help and have content that supports that. You end up forming an audience of really potential buyers. It’s exciting for me in the marketing space because really right now it’s valued more so than the size your wallet is, the quality of your message because we have so many channels and mediums available to us online that we didn’t have 5 years ago, 10 years ago. Even the last year or two you still have new platforms emerging. Medium, LinkedIn Publisher, there’s always a new blog coming along, there’s always a new place to write. It’s been exciting for my career. I just write something and I’m able to talk to people like you and read things you’re writing and comment on your articles. It’s an exciting time to be in inbound marketing.
