Show Notes This is the episode of Grey Matters that every person thinking about starting a business - or succeeding in their existing business - should listen to right now. The alternative may mean months or even years of focusing in the wrong direction. The age old question for entrepreneurs, "What should my business look like?" is one where the answer - or at least the correct answer - can elude us for far longer than we were hoping or imagining. Business owners are challenged with the need for customers, the desire to become profitable, and doubts about the right way to proceed.  How do we balance the passions we have with the problems we can solve for customers? How do we identify the right opportunities where our business can be the answer to customer problems? How do we avoid targeting too broadly, or too narrowly, for our ideal audience? All of these questions are answered by Steve in another helpful episode of the Grey Matters podcast. What are you waiting for? Figure out your business focus - the right one - today.  Links from this Episode Why We See Ads Online for Items We Were Just Talking About Twitter Spaces Comes to Desktop, Not Just Mobile Now You Can Hide Like Counts on Facebook and Instagram Got a Graphics Card You Aren't Using?

Show Notes These week's news updates by Steve and Rachel will really give you something to sink your teeth into (pun intended).

Whether you're into bitcoin technology or over it already, we dig into how this new type of currency is impacting more than just money. Want a little light yet meaningful fun? Try out a new online game that lets you battle your way through a series of opt-out dialog boxes and messages to see if you can successfully take your data from the jaws of businesses.  Lastly, we prepare for the long goodbye to a technology staple if the internet world. But don't worry, it's going to be a whole year before we finally see the sun go down on a browser of old.

Show Notes What does the guy who lives and breathes productivity do to adapt focus when a pandemic hits? You're about to find out, and possibly feel better about the challenges and solutions you've experienced as the world turned topsy-turvy.  In this episode of the Grey Matters podcast, Steve welcomes Mike Vardy, founder of Productivityist and author of The Front Nine: How to Start the Year You Want Anytime You Want, The Productivityist Playbook, and TimeCrafting: A Better Way to Get the Right Things Done (coming soon!).  The pandemic caused a seismic shift in all of our lives, as well as a shift in what has worked for us focus our time on being productive. Steve and Mike chat about misconceptions about how we all assumed we could focus more, how we all thought we'd spend our time, and how we plan to focus in the future. You'll recognize the phrases and sayings we've all been hearing for the last 12+ months, which Mike and Steve have some rather particular reactions to as the realities of time management have been anything but simple.  Your challenge? Focus on this podcast and let us know what you get out of it and how you're crafting your time today! Links from this Episode Twitter introduces the Tip Jar Bitcoin worthless?

If you're heard the term "passive income," you've probably also imagined yourself relaxing on a private beach while dollar signs float dreamlike above your head. It sounds amazing, but is passive income realistic? In this episode of the Grey Matters podcast, Steve Dotto challenges our perceptions of passive income, which may range all the way from thinking of it as a pipe dream or a promised land for our online business. Passive income has been on the same level as the Holy Grail or Aladdin's Lamp for years now. As entrepreneurs build our businesses, we repeatedly see assurances and promises online from soothsayers who guarantee they have the secret for how we can also achieve passive income. But it's important to define exactly what passive income is, and specifically what work must be done to try to succeed at.  Because passive income isn't all there is for us. There are several ways and means to make money with your business, and if we focus on passive income we may count ourselves out of other, more reliable methods to earn money through what we know or do.  By the end of this episode, you'll be able to define several ways you can earn income, and they aren't pipe dreams. With the right approach and effort, your income can get you a bit closer to that promised land of entrepreneurial success.  Links from this Episode They Ask, You Answer by Marcus Sheridan Steve's Evernote content at DottoTech.com Steve's News Stories for the week: First YouTube video in 2005 The deep fakes that keep Steve up at night Rachel's News Stories for the week: EU sues Apple for violating antitrust laws Tech helps seniors with medication and health Our other things: Weekly live, free tutorials -  Webinar Wednesday Weekly live, paid business tutorials - Foundational Fridays (Business Building Blocks) Grey Zone on Facebook a place for Baby Boomers and GenX to meet, share and learn about online business Grey Matters is made possible through your generous support!

Ever imagine how you look and then see a picture which jars you back into reality? How we spend our time - or think we're spending it - often works the same way: our perception can be way off from reality. In this episode of Grey Matters, Steve shares how you can honestly learn how you're spending or misspending your time and, more importantly, how to get it back! We live in an age of constant distractions. Think about all of the things vying for your attention: website tabs, notifications on your computer, notifications and calls on your smartphone, notifications on your wearables, deliveries, loved ones. And we haven't even mentioned that all of this can be aggravated by everyone being home more due to lockdowns and quarantines! Today it's tougher than ever before to stay focused and get in our flow, which is when we can accomplish the best work.  That's one thing Steve wants to help you with this week as he challenges you to an exercise that will show you where your time is going each day. Whether your goal is to get more work done or better work done - or a combination of both - this episode will get you on the road to reclaimed time and productivity.  Links from this Episode Steve's link for the RescueTime app Here's a visual of an Eisenhower Matrix (easy to create as a table in Excel or Word): Steve's News Stories for the week: AirTags and the new iMacs (both via Apple) Rachel's News Stories for the week: Amazon adds email marketing feature to brands Paying with your palm at Whole Foods Our other things: Weekly live, free tutorials -  Webinar Wednesday Weekly live, paid business tutorials - Foundational Fridays (Business Building Blocks) Grey Zone on Facebook a place for Baby Boomers and GenX to meet, share and learn about online business Grey Matters is made possible through your generous support!

Staring contest between you and a blank page... Ready? Set? GO!  None of us enjoy the feeling of knowing we have something to share yet being unable to put what's in our brain into words on a page. Whatever our personal obstacles are, this episode of Grey Matters will reset your thinking and help you believe that writing whatever is inside you is possible.  Often we get stuck on believing that writing something as intensive and, well, as big as a book should be something that just comes out ready for the world. Yet we wouldn't think that way about baking a cake or raising a child, would we? The best things take time, effort, work, and (when possible) tweaking all along the way.  Steve talks to guest Vicki McLeod - award-winning writer, coach, and entrepreneur - all about how she breaks writing down into three main areas, and then into three main themes, and then into three main topics... You get a bit of an idea of how she tackles writing major projects, and thus how you can make your writing possible a bit more digestible than daunting.  Get in your mind the writing project you've been putting off for far too long and get ready to "break the log jam" with this episode of the Grey Matters podcast!

Ever start something without a clear goal or outcome in mind and it winds up being fabulous? This week's episode features a podcaster who took an idea and grew it into a vehicle that's driving full speed ahead... even if the destination is unknown! In this episode of Grey Matters, Steve interviews Tod Maffin - a podcast producer who heralds back to the early days of podcasting and currently hosts a daily (you read that right) podcast called Today in Digital. What started as a bit of a copycat idea and noticing a void in the podcast universe has evolved into a powerful podcast which has a lot of pull in the digital marketing community. In the spirit of "seed and grow" business building, Tod shares how he monetizes and promotes his podcast, and where it might lead him in the future. If you're planning and/or producing your own podcast, listen in to this week's Grey Matters to get insights for your own show!

One year. That's the milestone we just hit to mark a full year of life with a global pandemic. Did any of us foresee that we'd still be coping with the upheaval brought to us by COVID-19? In this episode of Grey Matters, we reflect on what's changed - temporarily or permanently - and how we're handling the transformation. The "New Normal" is a phrase we've often heard to reference all of the new ways we live life today: face masks and social distancing are the most obvious evidence, but consider all of the other outcomes of trying day after day to survive a pandemic. For one thing, how have our freedoms been impacted as far as travel? While in the past we could fairly affordably and easily hop on any mode of transportation to get around, the future may look very different and impact smaller communities as well as business mobility. On another topic, how has our home and work life balance had to adjust? More and more workers are finding their work space is in their home space for the long term. Cities and towns are experiencing change to their traffic trends - some for the better and some not so much. And frontline workers? In addition to healthcare and grocery employees, food service, janitorial, and delivery teams may be seen differently now that they've been on the forefront of a pandemic as their jobs put them in a position of risk so that we can all feel just a tiny bit more normal. What changes does the future hold for them? Listen in this week and ponder the possibilities with us. Who knows, maybe one of our listeners will come up with the perfect name for the COVID-19 generation!

Retirement. Whether it looms toward us or beckons to us (or a mix of both), we want to control it as much as possible. But what happens when it's more of a coerced departure? This week's Grey Matters with Steve Dotto and guest Janice Sanders explores the complexities of calling it a day when it comes to your career. Any number of conditions can determine if your retirement is a positive or negative experience, and the results of your retirement are just as complex.  Will you find enough to do after you retire? Will you wind up doing too much? Are your former colleagues missing you as much as you miss them? Are you fulfilled with the legacy you're leaving, or is there more for you to do? Do you now live with regret, or are you able to leave regret in the dust? These are just a handful of questions we should each be asking ourselves before retirement creeps any closer (or saunters beside us, however you want to look at it). Janice Sanders of I Just Retired... Now What? joins Steve in a very transparent and thoughtful sharing of her experience and learnings that can help you take control of your retirement instead of retirement controlling you.   Links from this Episode Visit Janice's website for helpful resources to start creating your intentional retirement: ijustretirednowwhat.com/   Steve's News Stories for the week: Facebook's AR/VR Wearables Be careful which apps you trust   Rachel's News Stories for the week: When Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp went down Twitter testing YouTube videos playing natively in the feed Our other things: Weekly live, free tutorials -  Webinar Wednesday Weekly live, paid business tutorials - Foundational Fridays (Business Building Blocks) Grey Zone on Facebook a place for Baby Boomers and GenX to meet, share and learn about online business Grey Matters is made possible through your generous support!

Wondering if working while traveling for months at a time is possible? Learn from two digital nomads featured on this week's Grey Matters podcast who made it happen.  When we think about a job that allows you to travel, often we imagine a role in sales or event planning. Yet as technology has evolved - as connectivity becomes cheaper and computers become more portable - traveling while working spans across many more diverse roles and industries.  This episode of Grey Matters introduces us to two digital nomads - Amanda Robinson and Lisa Jenkins - who share their experiences of leaving the permanent and living the temporary, adventurous, sometimes arduous, often rewarding lifestyle of roaming the globe while earning a living.  Listen for the points that prompt excitement and the pains that bring you pause as you consider if there might be a day in your future when you decide to try becoming a digital nomad.    Links from this Episode Thinking of living and working as a digital nomad?

Steve welcomes Joyce Feustel to share her valuable insights about coaching her generation to see LinkedIn in a new light. Why do Boomers tend to have a tougher time wielding LinkedIn for building their business? It could be generational or even based on gender as it's a primary platform for self-promotion, which doesn't come as naturally to many people. Take a listen to all the reasons that Steve and Joyce give for how Boomers and even GenXers can use LinkedIn today: Reconnecting with people in your network Delivering value through your experience and skills Providing thought leadership that can set you apart, or even ahead, of the rest of the crowd This week also catches you up on the latest in marketing and business news you can use as you build your brand online.  Links from this Episode Joyce Feustel | Boomers Social Media Tutor Steve's News Stories for the week: Google following in Apple's advertising footsteps?

As we Boomers and GenXers build our businesses today, we must shift from the "build and deploy" mentality of then and shift to the "seed and grow" approach in the now.  This episode of Grey Matters takes a brief trip down memory lane as we look back at what all used to go into building a business. Remember how making and collecting payments was all done via paper or hand-to-hand exchanges? How about marketing and advertising when everything was in print or broadcast and cost a fortune? And would you ever start a business without spending weeks on developing a business plan? So much has changed in how businesses are built and maintained today. And it can be difficult for us to adapt to all the new - dare we say better? - approaches to business building when we've had decades to rely on what was available in the past.  Shift forward with us as Steve helps address our blind spots of how we can adapt business practices of then to work in our business building now. Also take a listen to the news stories in marketing that captured Steve and Rachel's attention this last week!

In the infamous words of Aladdin in Disney's movie of the same name, "Do you trust me?" Jasmine's reaction is a very uncertain "yes," and that pretty much sums up this week's discussion in the Grey Matters podcast. Whether you're venturing into a chat room or listening to this podcast religiously (we certainly hope you are!) or connecting with your business customers, trust these days is at the heart of every interaction we have.  And it's no wonder. According to Edelman's Trust Barometer (polling respondents in 28 countries), we have been in a trust bankruptcy of late which has thrown the world for a loop. Who can you trust? Who should you trust? And, more to the point, who are you trusting - or mistrusting - right now? In this episode, Steve and Rachel chat about: the shiny new penny that is Clubhouse on iOS devices how audio/voice is ushering us all into a new frontier of trust ways we as business professionals can make the most of today's trust deficiencies It's a great episode. You can take our word for it.  Links from this Episode Clubhouse - Apple Store for iOS Edelman's Trust Barometer report Our other things: Weekly live, free tutorials -  Webinar Wednesday Weekly live, paid business tutorials - Foundational Fridays (Business Building Blocks) Grey Zone on Facebook a place for Baby Boomers and GenX to meet, share and learn about online business Grey Matters is made possible through your generous support!

What's the difference between the "gig economy" and having a "side hustle?" We define these two aspects of Work 2.0 in this episode of Grey Matters. It's easy to confuse phrases we hear today describing work that isn't mainstream or full-time. We hear about the "gig economy" (on-demand talent and skill) and the "side hustle" (work geared for upward growth), and both sound appealing when we're faced with unemployment or underemployment.  As we look deeper at these to options, there are things we should take into account: Is either a gig or a side hustle a viable solution for a work force that is being aged out of mainstream employment? The marketplace's view of older professionals and skilled workers has skewed to realm of being expendable, regardless of years of experience we offer. Stepping into a side gig or hustle isn't as easy as flipping a switch. Networking, personal branding, and even marketing can mean either success or squandered effort.  What is required of us if we anticipate needing to try a gig or side hustle? Oh, and if you haven't heard, Apple has apparently thrown down the gauntlet against Facebook and other digital advertising giants with the update to iOS14: a pop-up prompt for Apple devices that ask the user if they agree to allow their activity to be tracked by Facebook. What will this mean for ads and privacy today as we have come to know them?    We also welcome a new addition to the podcast: producer Rachel Moore joins the discussion with Steve to bring the GenX perspective into Grey Matters.  Links from this episode: Boston Herald: Baby Boomers leading the pack in the gig economy Forbes.com: 9 Best Side Hustles Our other things: Weekly live, free tutorials -  Webinar Wednesday Weekly live, paid business tutorials - Foundational Fridays (Business Building Blocks) Grey Zone on Facebook a place for Baby Boomers and GenX to meet, share and learn about online business Grey Matters is made possible through your generous support!

Video is the most persuasive and influential media, so much more so when it is personalized Using video for conversation, and conversion!We tend to think of video in a rather grand sense. TV YouTube think about all the ways we use it. Tutorials Entertainment News and information Ironically, the most effective mass media platform is also incredibly effective in a one on one intimate application. Without fail, we are always competing for eyeballs. Success with video is usually tied to how many people watch the video. And the more people, the better the video! but a video is an amazing asset for far more intimate communications.

We are back! Relaunching a podcast is a hard thing to do. It is like getting back to the gym after you have been away for a while. All the same guilt, disappointment in yourself for letting it slide. The anxiety that you have hard work ahead of you, and fear that you may let yourself down again.   So with a great deal of humility, I am sheepishly coming back to the gym, a few pounds heavier, a bit tentative, but determined to make it a habit once again.   This week I take the opportunity to reinforce the mission of this podcast, and my hopes for the community as we try and put 2020 in the rearview mirror.   Our other things: Weekly live, free tutorials - Webinar Wednesday  Grey Zone on Facebook a place for Baby Boomers and GenX to meet, share and learn about online business   Grey Matters is made possible through your generous support!

We start this week's show by addressing the backlash to the Steve Nash hire by the Brooklyn Nets. Although Nash cut to the front of the line, we contextualize the hire within the power structure of the NBA — Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving had the power as superstars to choose who they wanted as head coach, and they picked Nash. We broaden the conversation to discuss recent studies measuring the role of race in head coaching hirings and tenures, including the updated Rooney Rule in the NFL.   Hook some brothers up.  Hit that subscribe button and follow us on Twitter and IG.  -> @thatjoemags -> @ithotta_AT
