Audvisor Provides On-Demand Content from World’s Greatest Thought Leaders

We live in an age of on-demand content. We want what we want when we want it in the format we want it. From the success of the iPod and the natural transition to digital music delivery through services like Spotify and Pandora to the live video streaming systems such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, it’s clear that consumers want their content delivered on their schedule and through multiple channels. It’s one reason audio books and podcasts are a great way of consuming the spoken word. We can listen just about anywhere we want, whether at home, in the car, for a walk in the park or while flying coast-to-coast. However, we are still very busy people and don’t always have time to listen to as much content as we like. And let’s face it. While some content is created purely for entertainment value, as business people we are really looking for the main takeaways in the books we read and programs we listen to. That’s why it’s awesome to see an app like Audvisor come along for both iOS and Android devices! Audvisor describes itself as an app that “brings you short and powerful insights from the world’s top experts for you to listen to anytime, anywhere. Thousands of insights from hundreds of experts – all under 3 minutes.” I was introduced to the app before they launched a number of months ago by co-founder Rajesh Setty. An accomplished author, speaker and entrepreneur, Rajesh is a great thinker with some big ideas. So when he shared the concept with me and asked if I wanted to have some of my content available in the app, I immediately jumped on it. After all, who wouldn’t like to have their content alongside such luminaries as Seth Godin, Sally Hogshead and Tom Peters? Imagine that you are getting ready to head into a big sales meeting. You’ve only got a few minutes. You open Audvisor and immediately get a three-minute insight from Ted Rubin that helps you remember the key reason that you are heading into that meeting room. Perhaps you are managing a team of people and you want to inspire them. A 2-minute insight from Chris Brogan on how to define success could be just the ticket! Or it maybe that you are creating a marketing campaign for a new brand. Spend just 90 seconds with Sally Hogshead and you will walk away with a key nugget to help you think about your product in a different way. Once the app launched, I began to experience first-hand the project which Rajesh and his partner, Mike Martin, had visualized. In an instant, I told them that Audvisor is the Spotify of the learning and wisdom world! This is an app that brings great content to people on-demand in a way that lets them consume the content as they wish, even with very busy schedules. This is an app that can be enjoyed by millions of people, not just in business, but in any realm where consuming content in meaty soundbites would be useful. Upon further discussion with Rajesh and Mike, I was extended an invitation to join the Audvisor advisory board. I’m pleased to announce that I have accepted the position and am already sharing ideas with the team to improve the app experience and to help spread the word. Rajesh and Mike have also invited Bill Henderson, the former COO of Netflix and former Postmaster General of the United States, to the advisory board. Both Bill and I were introduced to the public via this news release. I see big things ahead for Audvisor, and publications such as Techcrunch and Cult of Mac are already talking about it.
