In this blog post, I’ll share my journey through the tech world, the lessons I’ve learned, and how you can leverage technology for your own success. With over 27 years in the industry, I’ve seen it all—from the highs of landing a great job to the lows of layoffs. Let’s dive in!

Key Takeaways

• Embrace technology as a tool for career growth.
• Blogging can open doors and create opportunities.
• Focus on simplicity to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
• Share your stories to inspire others.

My Background in Technology

I’ve been in technology for a long time—27 years to be exact. I graduated from Loyola University in Maryland in 1997 and later got my master’s from NYU in direct marketing in 1999. My first job in tech was at a company called Medialex in 2000. On my first day, the stock was trading at $88. Fast forward a year, and it was a penny stock with massive layoffs. Talk about a rollercoaster!

The Purpose of This Channel

This YouTube channel is all about sharing my experiences. I’m not here to sell you a get-rich-quick scheme or tell you how to become a millionaire overnight. Instead, I want to share stories and lessons from my journey. I’m not a tech developer; I’m a sales, marketing, and communications guy. My goal is to show you how to leverage technology to your advantage.

The Power of Blogging

Back in 2004, I decided to start blogging. That first blog post was a game changer. It helped me land a job as a VP of sales. That experience taught me something important: I was in control of my career. By using technology, I could shape my path and create opportunities.

Keeping It Simple

One of the biggest challenges with technology is feeling overwhelmed. There’s so much information out there, and it can be hard to cut through the noise. My mission is to help you see the simplicity in technology. Let’s focus on what works for you without all the fluff.
