Lean Startup – How to Make $15K in Two Weeks with an MVP
What if you could make $15,000 in two weeks with your Lean Startup MVP that only cost $200? You can, and I’ll show you how. The Story Back in 2009 I had been working for a solar manufacturing company that was anything but a lean startup. We were building a new solar energy system that hadn’t gotten off the ground for 30 years (talk about never shipping) and our team of engineers, although brilliant, didn’t realize that by trying to reach perfection they were about to tank the whole company before we ever got started. It...

The Project SeniorSearch.com was a labor of love as well as a radical shift in the senior living marketing space. For decades, the status quo had been outdated aggregator websites that provided little to no decision making value to families in need of finding care for their loved one. As the first and only senior living video tour directory, Senior Search made the search for senior care and housing fast and easy for seniors and their families. Families can quickly find the right facility by virtually touring it online before ever visiting...

If you like what you read here and think others would too, be sure to Like and Share! Presenting to the CMO of Facebook Every once in awhile you get a call to play in the big leagues. I’m not even a fan of baseball, in fact I find it painfully boring, but I felt like I got the “call from the front office” late last month..I felt like the words said to me “now’s your chance, minor league was a great prep, but now we need you to pitch in the big leagues” when we got an email from our advisor, the CEO...

Why Don’t People Answer Their Phones? Have you ever tried to get in touch with someone urgently but their phone was on silent? Have you ever missed a super important message because you forgot to turn on your ring tone? When we had home phones, we all heard the phone ring… even if we didn’t want to. Our silent phones have make it too easy to miss the most important times when people are trying to get in touch with us, and it’s time to end the madness with an app I created called Ping (see the site here). Silent Phone Suck –...

Defiance – The Story of Defying the Odds I first met Micah via email when I sent him a note and said “Hey, have you thought about getting a better website?” At that time I was searching for Butcher Block countertops for a kitchen remodel that was a surprise for my wife while she was on a trip to visit family. I had tried to see what they had online but there was nothing but a Facebook page and some limited online content. Micah was working for someone else and said it sounded like a great idea. Push came to shove and it...
read moreShuffle – A Number for Every Occasion
Great App for Privacy Conscious or Multitasking People In recent years I have been trying to keep my own online presence a bit more secure. I’m not taking it to the extreme by any means, my Dad wouldn’t sign up for online banking until about 2010 because he didn’t want to get “hacked.” I purchase hundreds of things online every year and certainly don’t mind to give out my email address to cool services or products. I have kids, four of them, and by default I’d like to make sure only certain people...
read moreHelp – Personal Assistant App
I’m always looking at ways to save time… it’s a curse and a blessing, but perhaps more like a disease. I literally analyze all of the ways to best fill up my cup at the restaurant or how to make it through a parking lot in the least amount of time. With that in mind, I’ve always wanted to try a “personal assistant app” but my wife says that if something can be found online, I can find it… so I’ve never really wanted to waste my time telling someone what I need when I can probably find it...

I remember the first commercial I ever saw about email. I was a teenager and a guy asked a girl for her number. She grabbed a piece of paper, wrote down something and then walked away. When he looked at the paper it had a funky “@” symbol smashed between some letters. They said “things will never be the same” and since then it certainly hasn’t been. Then again, in today’s world, email is still always the same… until now. I sign up for a lot of services to try them out and see if I can get them...

This was, by far one of the most fun weddings to shoot, and one of the most incredible days. We started in Gilbert at a resort for both of the two love birds to get ready and then headed to St. Francis Xavier church downtown. On the way back to Gilbert, we stopped by the ASU stadium for a shoot with Sparky and rounded out the night staying two hours later because the festivities were so much fun!...
