The Energy Behind Cryptocurrency And More On This Week's CTRL ALT Delete Segment On CHOM 97.7 FM

Every Monday morning at 7:10 am, I am a guest contributor on CHOM 97.7 FM radio out of Montreal (home base). It's not a long segment - about 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly on i Heart Radio, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away about what's going on in the digital world. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the Mornings Rock with Terry DiMonte morning show. The segment is called, CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel.



This week we discussed: 




Cryptocurrencies and their technology platforms (like Bitcoin and Ethereum) are tough to wrap our heads around - from understanding what they are to why the markets are going crazy over them. As governments try to figure out what do about bitcoin mining, Chinese companies have been eyeing Canada. Quebec, in particular. It turns out that cryptocurrency mining is a huge power suck. So, countries like China (where some of the largest mining farms are) are looking for other regions to continue their work. Cryptocurrency mining consume a lot of energy, because it uses computers to solve complex math puzzles to validate transactions in the cryptocurrency, which are written to the blockchain, or digital ledger (complex, like I said). The first miner to solve the problem is rewarded in bitcoin, and the transaction is added to the blockchain. Hydro Quebec described a potential sales pipeline of around thirty large cryptocurrency mines after a campaign by them to attract data centres to the province triggered a ton of interest from bitcoin miners. Manitoba wants in on it too. Interesting times.
Last week talked about my Maclean's article, Why Facebook is cleaning up the neighborhood, about how Facebook will be amping up what we see from our friends and family, and throttling even more organic content from brands and corporate entities. Now, Facebook is about to launch a ranking tool to decide which news outlets are trustworthy. How will they do this? Complex algorithms? Hire thousands of people to monitor? Nope. Us. We will do it. Facebook announced last Friday that they will use surveys to rate news organizations and assign them trust score. Do we trust one large corporation to decide which news is trustworthy? Do we believe in the wisdom of the crowd?
Robots can't take our jobs, right? Especially jobs that are more cerebral and less physical, right? Not so fast. Last week, an artificial intelligence program built by Alibaba and Microsoft beat humans on a Stanford University reading comprehension test. The scariest part of this news item? This quote: "Luo Si, the chief scientist of natural language processing at the Chinese company's AI research group, called the milestone 'a great honor,' but also acknowledged that it will likely lead to a significant number of workers losing their jobs to machines." Ouch. 
App of the Week: Google Arts & Culture.

Same Side Selling With Ian Altman - This Week's Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast

Episode #602 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.



Ian has become a good friend over the years. That should come as no surprise, once you listen to this show. Business leaders call on Ian Altman to modernize their sales and marketing. Ian's approach helps companies significantly grow sales by aligning their goals with current and emerging trends in buyer behavior. Seems like marketing chatter, but it's not. Ian brought the idea of Same Side Selling to the world, and now it's a common sales and marketing strategy for some of the best organizations. Ian is a multi-bestselling author (Same Side Selling, Upside-Down Selling and Same Side Improv), strategic advisor, and internationally sought keynote speaker. How does he do it? He's been successful at sales in services and technology companies for over two decades, and he draws on years of success and research on how customers make decisions. He shares how his clients have more than doubled their businesses following the same methods that he used to build his former company from zero to more than $1 billion in value. You can also find Ian's weekly articles on Inc. and Forbes. He is the host of the weekly podcast, Grow My Revenue Business Cast.The numbers are real and the strategy is sound. Enjoy the conversation...

Six Links Worthy Of Your Attention #395

Is there one link, story, picture or thought that you saw online this week that you think somebody you know must see?


My friends: Alistair Croll (Solve for InterestingTilt the WindmillHBS, chair of StrataStartupfestPandemonio, and ResolveTO, Author of Lean Analytics and some other books), Hugh McGuire (PressBooks, LibriVox, iambik and co-author of Book: A Futurist's Manifesto) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person "must see".


Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another: 



Boxwars - YouTube . "I'm new to this, but it's been around for a while. It combines the best parts of renaissance fairs, burning man and cosplay. Make elaborate costumes (and aircraft carriers, and more) out of cardboard. Work for weeks on them. Then smash it all and have some beers. This made me inordinately happy." (Alistair for Hugh).
Raising a Social-Media Star - The Atlantic . "My daughter came home from school last week saying one of her classmates had hundreds of followers. 'I want followers,' she opined, not really knowing what they were. We're raising kids in a weird world. Here's a good piece on being the parent of an online celebrity." (Alistair for Mitch).
Babe, What Are You Doing? - Jezebel . "I've read more than I should have about Grace and Aziz Ansari. This is the first article that I think got to the nub of the uncomfortable issue, which is, regardless of what ' ide' you've landed on: we need to start to have sensible conversations about this uncomfortable stuff." (Hugh for Alistair).
Globalization is stuck in a trap. What will it be when it breaks free? - The Globe And Mail . "Whether or not you agree with its conclusions, this is the best article I have read that explains the economic history, and present, of globalization, and where the Trump/Brexit movement comes from." (Hugh for Mitch). 
TV, retail, advertising and cascading collapses - Benedict Evans . "I live a strange existence. The marketing, communications and media industry has given me so much joy (and such an amazing career). At the same time, it often feels like a house of cards that can collapse at any minute. Not because of the business, but because of how fast technology is being adopted by consumers, and how it (fundamentally) changes how they buy things... and what they engage with. It's easy to look at a specific channel or media outlet (as we often do), but what if it is all cascading in a very dangerous way?... which I hope that it is not!" (Mitch for Alistair).
Why is the cover of Fire and Fury so ugly? - The Guardian . "Can you read this article and take it all in without pandering to a political side? It's very hard these days. Still, this was one of the more interesting reads on book design, why it matters, the effort that is put into this art form (and, make no mistake about it, it is a serious art form) and whether or not that even matters. If a book publisher knows that they have rocket ship on their hands, do they care about the cover? Put your politics aside and enjoy the ride..." (Mitch for Hugh).

Facebook Made Some Big Changes And More On This Week's CTRL ALT Delete Segment On CHOM 97.7 FM

Every Monday morning at 7:10 am, I am a guest contributor on CHOM 97.7 FM radio out of Montreal (home base). It's not a long segment - about 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly on i Heart Radio, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away about what's going on in the digital world. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the Mornings Rock with Terry DiMonte morning show. The segment is called, CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel.



This week we discussed: 




Facebook made a big move last week. Founder, Mark Zuckerberg said : "Video and other public content have exploded on Facebook in the past couple of years. Since there's more public content than posts from your friends and family, the balance of what's in News Feed has shifted away from the most important thing Facebook can do--help us connect with each other. We feel a responsibility to make sure our services aren't just fun to use, but also good for people's well-being." So, much more of our friends and family and a lot less of brands and fake news? Is this good news or bad news for users and businesses?
My article on these Facebook changes in Maclean's: Why Facebook is cleaning up the neighbourhood.
Speaking of Facebook... Companies using the company's ad platform to publicize job openings have (allegedly) been practising "Ageism."  Many companies (Verizon, Amazon, UPS and even Facebook, itself) are posting ads for jobs, but only letting those ads be seen by users 25 to 36 years old. Is that fair game? Or, is this simply another form discrimination?
App of the Week: Evernote.

Dan Heath On The Power Of Moments - This Week's Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast

Episode #601 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.



The Heath Brothers (Chip and Dan) write some of the most compelling business books that that world has ever read. To this day, Made To Stick remains a staple and masterclass in how a brand can (and should) tell a better story. From the massive success of that book to Switch (all about change) and then Decisive (all about how to make better choices)... their books are just so powerful. Most recently, I devoured their latest business book, The Power of Moments. Why do certain experiences have specific impact on our lives? How is it that an event that took place when we were a child could be a hardwired value set that we carry with us to this day? Is it all just chance and luck (nature) or is their an opportunity for us to create moments like this (nurture)? I had the pleasure of discussing this and much more with Dan Heath. Along with writing brilliant business books with his brother, Dan is also a Senior Fellow at Duke University's CASE center, which supports social entrepreneurs. At CASE, he founded the Change Academy, a program designed to boost the impact of social sector leaders. Enjoy the conversation...

Six Links Worthy Of Your Attention #394

Is there one link, story, picture or thought that you saw online this week that you think somebody you know must see?


My friends: Alistair Croll (Solve for InterestingTilt the WindmillHBS, chair of StrataStartupfestPandemonio, and ResolveTO, Author of Lean Analytics and some other books), Hugh McGuire (PressBooks, LibriVox, iambik and co-author of Book: A Futurist's Manifesto) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person "must see".


Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another: 



'This is like paradise': Seal Beach's pay-to-stay program actively markets its jail, attracting deep-pocketed offenders - Los Angeles Times . "Got money? Doing time? Has Seal Beach got a deal for you! The jail in a sunny part of LA is pretty comfy -- and if you can pay, you can serve your time there, turning incarceration into a sabbatical. 'Why spend your jail sentence of 365 days or less at county?' says one of their ads, promoting their computer rooms, clean beds, and flatscreen TVs. Have we reached peak capitalism yet?" (Alistair for Hugh).
Games of Pawns - FBI . "What's spying? It's a slippery slope to recruitment, from writing articles to leaking information, and the FBI wants you to know what it looks like. This somewhat surreal film was produced by the FBI to shine a light on the Glenn Shriver case, showing how he was turned into an asset. It's got some strange mood music and weird production values -- but it's pretty entertaining. In this era of accusations of spying and collusion, it's also informative." (Alistair for Mitch).
Zeus: The Apology - The New York Review of Books . "In the latest shock 'apology' for sexual harassment, Zeus, (former?) ruler of all the Olympian gods, cops to a whole host of bad behaviour. Will this mea culpa save his career? I don't think he's done enough." (Hugh for Alistair).
Why dolphins are deep thinkers - The Guardian . "Octopi are my favourite sea creatures, but dolphins are pretty cool too." (Hugh for Mitch). 
The secret lives of students who mine cryptocurrency in their dorm rooms - Quartz . "Some kids need to deliver pizza to pick up some extra beer money in college... others... well... they can become currently czars!" (Mitch for Alistair). 
Want To Be The Best Writer On The Planet? Do These 27 Things Immediately - Ryan Holiday - Medium . "This is just a great (and huge) list of things for everyone to think about to tell a better story. Yes, Ryan Holiday is focusing on writing here (a real passion of ours as well), this content applies to anyone who is trying to tell a story... and ensure that it gets done. Just tons of gold and inspiration here." (Mitch for Hugh).

Smart Women In The New Economy With Magdalena Yesil - This Week's Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast

Episode #600 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.



She has one of the most illustrious and prolific careers as a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley. She's been in that business for close to three decades. She has, literally, seen it all as an entrepreneur, VC and board member. Her investing career started at US Venture Partners. She was the first investor and founding board member at Salesforce and the founder of Broadway Angels, a female group of angel investors. A technology pioneer, Magdalena Yesil founded three companies dedicated to commercializing Internet access, e-commerce infrastructure, and electronic payments. Her current company, DriveInformed, uses technology to bring trust and transparency to the auto finance industry. She is also an author. Her latest book, Power Up - How Smart Women Win in the New Economy was recently published. There would, literally, not be a commercialized Internet if Magdalena had not brought her vision to life. With that, here we are. In a situation where equal pay, harassment and more is still (sadly) the bane of our society when it comes to women. From #metoo and bro culture to today, Magdalena has more than a few thoughts on where technology is going and how important woman are (and will be) to its future and freedom. Enjoy the conversation...

Six Links Worthy Of Your Attention #393

Is there one link, story, picture or thought that you saw online this week that you think somebody you know must see?


My friends: Alistair Croll (Solve for InterestingTilt the WindmillHBS, chair of StrataStartupfestPandemonio, and ResolveTO, Author of Lean Analytics and some other books), Hugh McGuire (PressBooks, LibriVox, iambik and co-author of Book: A Futurist's Manifesto) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person "must see".


Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another: 



The vintage beauty of Soviet control rooms - U Funk . "Love me some Bond Villain Architecture. Also, damn that's good clipart." (Alistair for Hugh).
Utopia Inc. - Aeon . "I'm speaking at an event in Panama later this month called The Nature of Business. It's run by Geoversity, and it looks at lessons that businesses can take from nature. As the child of zoologists, I've always thought about biological systems. But I think the ' ustainability' narrative isn't well defined - a monopoly waist-deep in lobbyists seems pretty sustainable these days -- and it's critical to remember that nature has lots of nasty 'business models,' such as predation and parasitism. This has made me look at why organizations and movements of all shapes and sizes don't survive. This article (and another, an interview with John Turner in which he explains how much Silicon Valley was influenced by communes) fascinate me." (Alistair for Mitch).
How One Las Vegas ED Saved Hundreds of Lives After the Worst Mass Shooting in U.S. History - Emergency Physicians Monthly . "This is an incredible story about the nuts and bolts of how four emergency doctors handled 250+ bullet wounds in a Las Vegas hospital after the mass shooting in October 2017." (Hugh for Alistair).
Why Are You Even Reading That Tesla Announcement? - Bloomberg Gadfly . "I have a few shares of Tesla, and I'm a fan of the can-do chutzpah of Elon Musk (who went to Queens University, in Kingston, Ontario (!) while I was there-- tho I never met him). But things have been tough translating dreams to reality. Bloomberg crunches the numbers." (Hugh for Mitch).
Chess's New Best Player Is A Fearless, Swashbuckling Algorithm - FiveThirtyEight . "It's a New Year! Is anyone else already fatigued over the constant editorializing on how algorithms are smarter than humans... will replace us humans... and more? I read articles like this, and all I can think to myself is: 'fine, I quit... algorithms... take me away...' And, I also think: 'If these algorithms are so good, why is programmatic advertising still so bad?'" (Mitch for Alistair).
The 100 best nonfiction books of all time: the full list - The Guardian . "Not sure that I have much to add after a headline like this from a publication that I respect like The Guardian. So... get some reading done!" (Mitch for Hugh).

Better Brand Stories With Mark Evans - This Week's Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast

Episode #599 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.



There is a real struggle in business today. Regardless of how far brands have travelled, when it comes to advertising, social media and content marketing, the vast majority of businesses today struggle with how to tell a great brand story. I've had the pleasure of knowing Mark Evans for a long while. We go all the way back to the early days of blogging (2003-ish). Back then, Mark held one of the most coveted roles in publishing, as the tech journalist for one of the largest national newspapers. As blogging took hold and social media transformed the media landscape, Mark did not just lie back and go quietly into the night. On the contrary, he embraced this new media. Now, he works as a consultant helping businesses to tell a better brand story. He's the author of Storytelling for Startups (which is going to be updated and renamed in 2018), and is an advisor to many other companies. Along with being an avid hockey and tennis player, he still writes... and even has one of Canada's leading newsletters on marketing. Enjoy the conversation...

The Business Of Expertise With David C. Baker - This Week's Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast

Episode #598 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.



Sometimes you come across an individual (and a book) and it just mystifies you. How is it possible that you had not heard of this person's work before? That was my reaction when I was introduced to the work of David C. Baker. His book, The Business of Expertise is simply brilliant. In a world where self-proclaimed Gurus and Thought Leaders are everywhere (and including these titles on LinkedIn), the work of David could not have come at a better time. Just who is an expert? And, if you truly are an expert, how do you turn it into a true business and revenue opportunity (without looking like a jerk)? David has done the real work. He has worked with 750+ firms and in-house departments on helping individuals to figure out the true value of their expertise. If that were not enough, he's also the author of Managing (Right) for the First Time and Financial Management of a Marketing Firm. Not just one to work on marketing, David also teaches racing to expert motorcycle racers and flies 25 different types of airplanes and helicopters (no joke!). Enjoy the conversation...
