Brian Fanzo, better known as @isocialfanz, is going to talk with us about the importance of video.

SMACtalk launched December 18th, 2014 as an anti-niche video podcast show where hosts Brian Fanzo & Daniel Newman shared their thoughts and interviewed experts on the massive technology trends: Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud computing.   Fast-forward to Jan 2018 for episode 100 and so much has changed around the platforms the hosts have used to push the podcast live not to mention the interviewing skills of the host while other things have stayed the same since the start. On this episode Brian and Daniel take a look back at the early days of the podcast and discuss some of the behind the scenes stories that happened when broadcasting this show live at Mobile World Congress Barcelona or the 20 hours of SMACtalk from the Superbowl.  They also discuss the impact S.M.A.C. technologies have had on new mega trends like artificial intelligence, blockchain, internet of things and wearables.   Everyone here at SMACtalk are beyond excited that we made it to episode 100 but as you’ll learn on this episode, we have only just begun and both Brian and Daniel have big plans and ideas including more guests, new brand sponsors, new live event broadcasting and if everything works out a more consistent publishing of the shows for you our audience. We want to thank you for coming on this journey with us for the first 100 episodes and we truly hope you’ll join us in talking SMAC for the next 100 episodes. Ideas for the show, sponsor requests?

On this episode of SMACtalk Daniel and Brian are on the expo floor of the Sapphire Now event where they were hired as both analysts and influencers to do work with SAP and some of the SAP partners.  The discussion is focused around the future of digital journalism and the role of analysts and influencers and bloggers as brands look for authentic ways to reach their audiences do they need to restructure who they use and how they value them.   This episode was recorded live on Facebook Live which you can watch here:https://www.facebook.com/SMACtalkLive/videos/1919871028292980/   As always we appreciate you listening and sharing the podcast on social media and with your friends. 

We kicked off 2017 just like we finished 2016 with a lively and passion debate with lots of SMACtalk this time around new years resolutions, making business goals and this culture of no accountability. This topic was fueled by Daniel's facebook post over the holidays which you can read below and the debate went on to include the importance of business goals, the role of public accountability and the current state of social media and marketing as it pertains to small business owners filtering the noise to work with true experts vs those who just make loud noises. Here is the Facebook post from Daniel. "I know this may make me sound like a crotchety old man... But seriously, wtf is the deal with "It's a new year and I'm going to do all this great shit because it's a new year." I have a feeling the people that are going to accomplish great things don't wait for some impending calendar date to get started on their route to greatness. Just start...Go...Do...Be... Celebrate the heck out of your wins, but don't wait. Start now...and if the date is June 9, start then, and if the date is November 4, start then... It's entirely in our control. We decide our outcomes and results. If the New Year is your only motivation to start then I'm pretty comfortable that the resolution will be a fleeting moment in a hot steamy pile of failed resolutions from New Years Past... PS: I'll post a Happy New Year pic later. :P If you want to watch the Facebook Live recording of this episode you can do so here: https://www.facebook.com/SMACtalkLive/videos/1835608916719192/?pnref=story S.M.A.C. stands for Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud and over the two years Dan and Brian have covered topics that included Big Data, Digital Transformation, Social Selling, Data Center Migration, Millennial Marketing, Digital Marketing, live streaming video, customer experience and everything else impacting today's technology world.   On this prediction episode Dan and Brian decided to stick to the S.M.A.C. as they each shared one prediction around each letter that makes up the show title.  From Dan’s very first prediction for social media in 2017 you’ll realize that these aren’t your normal generic marketing predictions.   Also listen all the way till the end as Dan and Brian also share sneak peeks into topics that they’ll be talking about on the keynote stage in 2017 that they’ve not talked about as professional speakers.   Visit Dan’s speaker page at: www.DanielNewmanSpeaks.com Visit Brian’s speaker page at: www.iSocialFanz.com/Speaker Dan and Brian spent the first couple minutes of this episode and the last couple minutes paying tribute to the SMACtalk community and all those that have supported them as the SMACtalk download numbers have doubled month over month since September.   Dan and Brian want to wish the entire SMACtalk community a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays with special shoutout outs to the brands that have sponosred the show over the last two years: IBM, Avnet, SAP, Adobe and 2017’s newest sponsor Cisco.   You’ll hear more about the Cisco sponsorship in the new year including how Dan and Brian are leveraging Cisco’s collaboration tool known as Cisco Spark.  You can check out the tool now at: http://brianfanzo.live/cisco_smac If you want to have SMACtalk live at your event like Dan and Brian did at Superbowl 50, HP Discover, SAP Sapphire in 2016 visit http://SMACtalk.Live or email DNewman@broadsuite.com Brian@iSocialFanz.com

In This Episode On the day of the Tesla Model 3 “launch” Brian and Daniel sat down and discussed the pros and cons of owning a smart car. Just one week later Tesla reported that reservations for the Model 3 totalled over 325,000, which corresponds to about $14 billion in implied future sales, making it the single biggest one-week launch of any product ever. Are all the people who stood in line and threw 20% down for a car that won’t be available for 18 months (or longer) crazy? Or super smart? People today are willing to buy something sight unseen. Perhaps a generality but we do it all the time when we buy something from Amazon or eBay. Are we so accepting of this behavior that trust now extends to vehicles and other high dollar items? Early in the conversation, Daniel points out that the fact people are willing to put money down in advance on a $30K car in mixed economic times is a phenomenon. Talk about F.O.M.O.! What Does the Future Hold for the Connected Car? Will GMC, Honda, and other car makers be just as technology enabled as Tesla? Will the connected car become more universal? Daniel shares examples from Audi and BMW to highlight that other car makers are including more connected features in their latest models. He ends his thought by asking does the general public want or need a connected car? A car reading emails out loud is not for everyone. In closing, Tesla has made simplicity extravagant. Giving people what they want and none of the excess packaged in a sleek exterior.  Similar to some of your favorite apps - disruption is the theme. Connected car, smart car, what will the next cool vehicle be dubbed?
