Podcast appearances and mentions of michael brodie

Michael Brodie had an incredible career.  He was desperately unlucky not to be crowned WBC super-bantamweight champion against Willie Jorrin and then came up against the likes of Injin Chi and Scott Harrison. Brodie was a Manchester favourite who packed the crowds in and was involved in several Fight of the Year contenders.  He never had it easy. Here, he talks about those big nights and an unexpected fall that saw him jailed for unwittingly become a drug runner as a taxi driver, before all charges were dropped. It's an incredible story.  The Michael Brodie story is purely from the heart. Boxing Life Stories is now on PATREON.

Michael Brodie, CEO and Founder of community-focused social network, joined us again to look at starting a business in Portugal.

#bbc, #change, #control, #eu, #regulation, #socialintelligence, #tech, #transformation Has ‘Tech’ become darker and muddier in 2018? "Over these 12 months our relationship with tech has both been darker and more muddy because it becomes increasingly clear that all the bright and shiny positive potentials of tech are at the risk of being darkened by forced misuse of data, manipulation, supervision, no respect of the citizen, no respect of individual rights," says Margrethe Vestager the EU's Competition Commissioner. Commissioner Vestager, interviewed by Baroness Lane-Fox - a board member of Twitter and guest editor of this morning's Today radio programme on BBC Radio 4 - added that “while dismantling companies had served Brussels well in the past, the speed at which changes occurred in the tech sector made it a less appropriate response”. “Instead,” Vestager said, “the commission might look at how larger firms got access to data and resources in a bid to limit their power.” But will this really be the best solution? Isn’t this model how we’ve found ourselves in such a pretty pass? One that features giant corporations whose overwhelming power is barely matched by that of the bureaucrats, who we vainly hope might control them? Greater regulation and centralised government are ruled out here in our latest ‘ONversation’, where OurNet CEO Michael Brodie suggests: “Fiddling around with data protection is just whistling into the wind.” In our conversation, he asks the question: “Do we want to organise ourselves in a way that encourages people to push the boundaries and succeed extremely well by manipulating and using each other? Or do we want to start to reconsider the fundamental rules that we have?” For us at OurNet it’s back to the fundamental rules of ‘social intelligence’, not more of the status quo and standard way of competition and fear. The latter doesn’t seem to be working, and is actually the perfect recipe for a ‘dark and muddy’ Internet. Clearly, we need to change the way the system currently works; a system which rewards us when we misuse each other. We need a fundamental and systemic transformation that deals with the ‘split personality’ discussed in the podcast. We need to address how and why our sense of competitiveness is allowed to undermine our wish to care for, and support, each other. “What we know gives us satisfaction is connection with, and support of, other people”, says Michael Brodie who would rather see a ‘cult of care and support’ than the Internet’s pervasive cult of egocentricity, individualism and polarised opinion. That said, he does however believe that people are truly trying to do their best, however mis-guided their behaviour seems to be. A sentiment shared by Martha Lane-Fox who agrees that “everyone is trying to do their best and make things work”. “There is an increasing awareness of the fact that we really need to do something and to do that together,” she added. ‘Together’ is surely the key to any successful shift in a socially intelligent’ society that wishes to be enlightened and arise from the mud. And together, let’s co-create a happy and prosperous 2019 with a brighter, less murky Internet... Original BBC article:

Goals are what satnav is to a modern car. The power of goals is what makes the unwashed, washed. It's what makes the depressed become energized and optimistic.  The truth is, we're living in a golden era of opportunity. In fact, it's something we've maybe dreamt of for centuries. Yet, despite this, how many of us waste our time with lack of direction? How many times do we simply waste our time by procrastinating it away with daytime fantasy and hyperbolic Netflix series?

News Release: 02-10-17 - For Immediate Use World Changing Virtual Village Just a Change of Perception Away Without doubt, the Internet has been a giant leap for humankind, but its fullest potential has yet to be fulfilled for the greater and greatest good. So claim the people at OurNet who believe the Web can nourish the best aspects of humanity and its potential, despite disturbing trends like ‘fake news’ and trolling. OurNet is heralding a new way forward for humanity’s greatest technological achievement as concerns grow about the corporatisation, de-humanisation and centralisation of cyberspace. “OurNet is a ‘virtual village’ that works for all, not just for some – a new context and culture that re-humanises, refines and rewards the best of what we can be,” claims founder and visionary Michael Brodie who originally conceived the idea as a crowd sourced, crowd edited, online news magazine, over ten years ago. While some might see this as a course-correction for the Web, Brodie t

Are you a tiddler in a sea full of sharks? How do your customers differentiate you from your competitors? In this episode of CONFESSIONS OF A VIRTUAL BOSS, serial entrepreneur and virtualstaff.ph CEO Michael Brodie talks about how to create a personal brand.   "I can't stress the importance of creating a personal brand, in this era of competitiveness that we're living in, it's no longer an option, but a statement of fact that everyone is themselves a personal brand." Michael Brodie - Founder of www.virtualstaff.ph   In the past brands were reserved for the big dogs, McDonald's, CocaCola, and other corporations. Today that field is open for us all to play on it.  Despite the field being open, why do 95-97% of people still fail when it comes to creating a personal brand? I can answer that question with many answers and in this episode, I'm going to dive into what it takes to create a personal brand. I'll also show you why: As an entrepreneur and small business owner creating a personal brand might dramatically add to your bottom line. How being known as an expert in your field can dramatically increase sales. Since becoming known as the virtual boss and branding myself alongside my company VirtualStaff.ph, many people have recognized me as the worlds #1 expert when it comes to hiring virtual assistants, and outsourcing to the Philippines. On top of the hundreds of people who are subscribed to virtualstaff.ph and my outsourcing blueprint training. People also pay me $2,000/Month in consulting retainers in order to get direct access to me on a 1-1 basis.  In fact, I earn $16,000-$24,000 a month in consulting fees working with between 8-12 clients at any one time.  It takes up about 40 hours per month, I enjoy it, and it pays decent while being very affordable for my clients.  I also, to the surprise of my clients, give them direct 1-1 access to my Filipino lawyer and accountant... meaning they get a whole package of expertise on tap! People have told me it's unbelievable helpful when you're looking to build a big business or expand aggressively.The value that my consulting clients get is probably worth a minimum of $1,000,000 in terms of cost benefits, business expansion, and having my knowledge on tap. I don't earn $20k a month in consulting fees by chance, instead, it was done by branding myself correctly. Obviously, the branding comes second to first having the experience and skills that I offer. But... without the branding, how could I help people? How would the world discover how I can help them if they need the expertise that I offer.  In this episode, you're going to discover what that answer is in your own life, and how by being decisive you might just dominate your market! (This next part is by my personal assistant. I'm not writing in the third person... It's one thing I absolutely hate because it's so pretentious) Michael Brodie is an outsourcing expert and generally a pretty fun guy.
