What is My 3 Words About? The My Three Words idea is simple. Choose 3 words (not 1, not 4) that will help guide your choices and actions day to day. Think of them as lighthouses. “Should I say yes to this project?” “Well, does this align with my three words?” The idea came from realizing that resolutions almost always end by January 19th of a new year. One reason is that we often choose them from a negative mindset: “I need to lose weight. I’m not making enough money.” Instead, the idea of the 3 words is more like: what can I use to guide me towards results I want to support for the entire yea ..read more

From this article: https://baditaflorin.medium.com/unlocking-the-power-of-the-chatgpt-revolution-100-use-cases-to-try-before-you-are-fired-979e5986814c I like that I can just noodle like this. I asked it to teach me some useful business phrases in Spanish. Eat it, Duolingo. Well, I had to check. That’s enough for right now.

Image generated by asking ChatGPT for text and feeding it into Stable Diffusion I’m writing here for the first time in a long time. Why? Because of ChatGPT. Because it’s pretty wild. It’s a “chat to _____” kind of tool where you can type out a request and get some really interesting feedback. What kind? This article covers it better than I want to, because that’s not my goal. Instead, I wanted to keep a running list of ideas I’ve had about it, and share some of that with you. If you’re not getting my weekly newsletter these days, then you’ll probably feel a bit lost. I talked about it there a ..read more

Okay, so first off, my birthday was yesterday, but I was at a conference in Las Vegas, and I flew back on a red eye. That’s not an excuse. I could post yesterday if I wanted to, but I’m not even sure. I haven’t blogged in whenever. Why should I? I’ve got a newsletter. I’ve got two. Blogs are dead. Or are they? That’s all you get. I’m writing it in my newsletters. The post On the Occasion of my 52nd Birthday appeared first on CHRIS BROGAN ..read more

What is My 3 Words About? The My Three Words idea is simple. Choose 3 words (not 1, not 4) that will help guide your choices and actions day to day. Think of them as lighthouses. “Should I say yes to this project?” “Well, does this align with my three words?” How to Choose Three Words I started this process back in 2006. Back then, my 3 words were “Ask. Do. Share.” I picked these very simple words and they served me very well. One of my best years ever. When I asked questions, I learned. When I took action based on what I learned from asking, I made more ground and took over more of the univer ..read more

Yeah, so I’m taking a role inside a privately held company for a little while as Chief of Staff. That means that I report directly to the CEO and am responsible for keeping the Executive team rolling along nicely, leading strategy initiatives, and communicating with the board externally and with all the various other teams internally. I haven’t worked for any other company since 2009, so that’s interesting, but I don’t really mind/care/think much about it. I’m really tuned into the mission. That’s what got me excited. Well, that and the fact that I get to work with all the C-level titles and d ..read more

Chris Brogan For all the years you might have followed me, I never sit still in one place for too long. That’s tricky to wrap your head around, especially in a world that really feels we need to categorize and understand everything. For me, I’ve always just chased after whatever problems seemed fun to solve, and I didn’t think much about any larger overarching narrative. If there was anything in common, it’s the easiest way to sum me up: I like being helpful and sharing what I know with others. Over the years, what I’ve done with companies has changed a lot. I taught a lot of huge companies wh ..read more

The other day, Kerry O’Shea Gorgone and I launched a new cryptocurrency called the Backpack Show Coin (or just $BKPK, if you want to be like the cool kids). It’s built by a company called Rally and was part of a project they launched called Creator Coins. The idea is that if you nurture a community like we do around the Backpack Show, then you could build your own micro-economy and invite participants and members of that community to buy, sell, hold, and trade a special currency. What does ANY of that mean? At the highest level, “Hey, if you buy $BKPK coins, it supports the Backpack Show, but ..read more

Chris Brogan seems nice. I had an interesting experience the other day that has me laughing and a bit befuddled. A guy wanted to interview me for his show, and then canceled saying that he couldn’t come up with a few questions to ask me. It’s obviously quite the insult, if I were to care all that much. I mean, what would you ask a New York Times bestselling author who has worked with the biggest companies in the world and who has presented to a princess? What would you ask someone who’s written 9 books and who interviews 10 new people every week for a daily video show? So, maybe you need some ..read more
