Podcast appearances and mentions of michael sitarzewski

Dallas has about three miles of subterranean tunnels and sky bridges that crisscross the city, but aside from a few food courts beneath office highrises, they're largely vacant. If that's the case, why are they there in the first place? And what is the future of the empty space? Baylee Friday gets a tour of the tunnels from Dallas software developer Michael Sitarzewski, who took an interest in them and knows every nook and cranny. Then, Dustin Bullard, chief of urban transformation for Downtown Dallas Inc., and Dallas City Council member Paul Ridley, whose district includes most of the tunnels, explain the vision for downtown and whether the underground space has a place in it.

Michael Sitarzewski - inboundgeo CEOandJendayi Harris on emotional intelligence

Michael Sitarzewski is a technology startup pioneer, a minimalist lifestyle Ambassador and has lived his life around the motto of doing things you can’t. He’s built a bunch of different tech companies and has rallied the startup community in Dallas around helping one another. He has built his career as an innovator, risk taker and boostrapping entrepreneur. His current startup launch isn't about going big. It's about going small. Michael and his wife Heather have embraced frugal living with a minimal impact. As an example, he has lived in Dallas Texas for the last year without a car. They also have made it their mission to make and eat meals that cost less than $2/person and I caught up to him right as they were pulling the ripcord on the life they had built in Dallas for one on the road pursuing the unknown and living out of an RV. They have just launched Epic Mini Life which means they are going small, selling everything down to a pickup truck and an RV, and heading out of Dallas to travel the US in their truck with their 12 year old daughter and two dogs. In this episode we discuss... His career creating, launching and building technology startups. The communities that he's built to help other startup founders and entrepreneurs. The motivation and evolution of their minimalist lifestyle. How they eat on $2/meal. Living the minimalist lifestyle and the movement throughout the U.S. to live smaller lives with less stuff. How he will continue to run and build his current startup from an RV while traveling full-time. What it's like to sell EVERYTHING that won't fit in a pickup truck and RV. How does he, his wife, daughter and 2 dogs all fit in 350 square feet? Monetizing the minimalist lifestyle story through sponsors. Michael has always done things that he can't from building startups in crowded marketplaces to living a lifestyle that didn't always fit with society's normal lifestyle...and he's rocked it!

This is episode number 5 of The Jason Croft Show where we answer the question, “How do we bring nimble, innovative startups and large profitable corporations together so that they both become better?"   Welcome to episode number five.  If you haven't done so yet, make sure you check out my last two episodes with Michael Sitarzewski - he has taken over Launch DFW, the online hub of the entire Dallas startup community and he's growing it like crazy.  We also talked about how his startup is helping companies grow by going offline and why being too early can be a bad thing in business.   For the show today, I wanted to dive into the issues that come with both being a large corporation and trying to innovate quickly enough…and with being a startup who may be fast and cutting edge, but lacks the reach and the capital to grow quickly enough.  So I brought Ken Koo into the business-mobile to discuss what he's building to tackle this

This is episode number 4 of The Jason Croft Show and part 2 of our interview with Michael Sitarzewski.     If you haven't checked out part 1 yet or our interview with Michael, do that now.  Otherwise let's get back to the business-mobile with Michael Sitarzewski.   Wow.  So much valuable insights from Michael in these two episodes.

This is episode number 3 of The Jason Croft Show where we discuss the power of going offline to stand out in your business and how to build a media machine.   Welcome to episode number three.  If you haven't done so yet, make sure you check out my first and second episodes with Raj Daniels.  He shows you exactly what your first steps should be no matter what kind of business you're looking to launch.  We also talked about the importance of having a coach, what Raj's super power is, and what he does while the rest of the world is eating lunch and sleeping.   For the show today, I want to teach you what it takes to build a media company.  As we all know, whether you're building a personal brand or running a global company, making sure that you stand out requires that you also become a media company as well.  Whether you're simply posting in social media or developing a full video campaign like I do with my clients, you better

Host Tasha Tsiaperas chats with Cindy Crain of the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance, Sam Merten of The Bridge, and Michael Sitarzewski of the Cedars Neighborhood Association. The group discusses plans to close Tent City in Dallas, the massive homeless encampment under I-45 outside downtown.

To say Michael has been heavily involved in the Dallas, Texas startup community is an understatement. He has built on the lessons from the Boulder and Denver community and is now heading LaunchDFW. In addition to leading the charge in the startup community here in Dallas, he is interested in bringing DFW to the attention of the nation and doesn't care how it gets there. He puts neighborhood identification secondary to the end result; putting startups first and getting good ideas to out to the world. Ideas from Michael and others are gaining attention from Austin and making Dallas an attractive place to be for the best and brightest. If you have 10 minutes, pull up a chair next to Michael and you'll walk away better informed than you were before, but be sure to have your DART rail pass or embrace yourself for some wisdom on the attractiveness of public transportation! Connectivity is the driver for Michael and we're grateful for his time.

Three InSight, Episode 6. Google's URL Shortener. Do we really have to talk about Google? Yes. URL shorteners have good/bad side. Curious about monetization. Bit.ly Pro now exists because of Google's service. Bit.ly offers the best tracking. Google wants to be able to index shortened URLs, and this is a great way to enable it. Shorteners are becoming a risky proposition, don't click stuff if you don't know the source. Hackers are preying on our trust with shorteners. Will goo.gl links show up in Google Analytics? Analytics and Adsense are paired nicely. Metzger Associates is using Bit.ly in press releases - intentionally. These days the URL/domain isn't so important because everything is being shortened. Big scary URLs are now simple. Dave uses the public library to reserve books and uses Google search to get there so he doesn't have to remember the actual URL. No singing for the holidays in the podcast, that's a promise.Google's Nexus One - which came first, Nexus One or Nexus Six? Duh :) Palm is coming back with Pre and Pixi - is the dawn of renewed competition on the horizon? Apple started the app abstraction process with the mobile providers - and now Google is taking it one step further with an unlocked phone that works on either GSM network. The price may be reduced if you allow ads on the service. There's plenty of competition in the industry. Hardware should be carrier agnostic. We all want the carrier to simply provide pipes. Oh, MobileMe rocks. Doyle's ISP argument - what if you had to turn in your PC, or get a new one every time you switched ISPs at home? That's the way the mobile world works right now. Comcast buys BNC Universal, is that another step down the path of paid content? If you're a Comcast subscriber, will NBC content get higher priority? Java promised write once run anywhere. People are working on the same for iPhone/Windows Mobile/Android. Once that becomes easy the apps will proliferate. Tablets are on the way - just a matter of time. Amazon has Kindle, Barnes and Noble has the Nook. It's just a matter of time before the Crunchpad (joojoo) and the Apple tablet appear. Netbooks are hot right now but will ultimately vanish. Tablets may just cause their demise. Apple's purchase of Lala could mean that we get to take our iTunes libraries to any device, not just Apple endorsed devices. Stream Lala on the iPhone if you can't fit the whole library on your phone. Devices will become just receivers for content. Dave has a G4 media server... G4? Really? :) The next generation of content will be serverless. Dave suggests that ten of thousands of copies of The Dark Knight might be easily replaced with single digital streams. But what if the server crashes? More data is lost because of user error, that is the case with professionals (Danger! excluded).Facebook privacy settings. New privacy changes are a nightmare. Yes! Michael got a prompt in Facebook, set some things, and clicked OK. Doyle thinks it's silly… much ado about nothing. Dave's view is that Facebook promised privacy. This dialog and these changes violate that trust. (note: "Everyone" was default only if you hadn't changed the settings previously. If you had, they did their best to match what your modified settings were). Managing these settings isn't for the novice - which arguably is the Facebook population, and weren't well described. Confusion is the cause and result of all of this. They're trying to make it a better place with more control, but may have botched this one in their communication. Google doesn't care about your stuff. Big Brother is watching! (LOL, that's a joke). There are 100 million users and Facebook might be their first experience with social media. Doyle thinks they're over-reacting. Michael thinks the problem is that Facebook assumed a higher level of intelligence in the average American than they should have. But at least they're trying. Doyle suggests that Facebook, when they make a substantive change, should provide videos for each level of user. That way everyone understands. One popup for 350 million people isn't an effective means of communications. Dave suggests that his daughter's content is, and should remain, private. His daughter would have just clicked OK. Everything would then have been public instead of friends only which was the agreement he and his daughter made. Kids in 1840 weren't taught to look both ways before crossing the street. If you're parenting the same way now, you're in for a load of trouble. Dave is sophisticated enough to know how to make that change. We've got to evolve our parenting style to match the technology our kids play with.Facebook ties to Twitter. Dave wants content filters. Wants to be able filter Facebook by removing the #fb tag. Dave's insistent that people separate their feeds and not cross post. Let's hope this doesn't cause a DOS with Twitter (bi-directional syncing!). Doyle could podcast with himself. We all have friends on both networks that aren't on the other. Social media is facing an oligopoly. Michael only follows people he's met IRL on Twitter but has 780 followers. Facebook is IRL only. Tweetdeck is kind of solving this problem with checkboxes (so is Seesmic). Different networks have different expectations. Twitter can support dozens of updates per hour from someone, where that's not OK on Facebook. LinkedIn now supports Twitter sync…but why? That's just not OK. It's business focused and people's private tweets don't belong there. They way a guy talks in a locker room is different from the way a guy talks at Thanksgiving dinner. Doyle is proof (based on the studio audience). Do men and women talk differently in a locker room? Yes! Doyle is censoring himself because we asked him to? Props to B-Side, they're done at the end of the year. We're looking for a new home for the podcast. We're open to wealthy potential sponsors too.
