Conversations with Joel Disini

In this “Conversations” segment I had the privilege of speaking with Joel Disini who amongst many things he is a genuine Internet pioneer and the founder or the Pilipino domain registry (dotPH). As well as sharing his life story he also spends some time talking about some of the behind the scenes machinations of the new gTLDs…..which is intriguing to say the least!

Don’t forget to check out the Clubhouse and startup.club, I’m hosting a regular weekly session called “The Holistic Entrepreneur” where we look at business and the life of an entrepreneur..

Date: Weekly each Thursday, 5PM EST
See you there!

America Is Great

America is great and can become greater.

After a few poignant conversations this past week I thought I would express my thoughts and personal experiences my family and I have had in America. In a nutshell, you are an amazing people that does and can do incredible things and the rest of the world is looking to you for leadership…..so please stop tearing yourselves apart…..

Have a great weekend.
Michael

Saturday Musings - From Pain to Gain

There’s nothing like a reworked root canal to stop you dead in your tracks. This week, through the auspices of my dentist, my body decided to take control of my mind and laid me up in bed with waves of headaches. To say wave’s makes it sound like they were lapping on the shore….it would be better to describe them more as tsunamis.

There is a good side to all of this. As well as a lot of sleep (got to love those pain meds) it gave me time to reflect on a multitude of vitally important topics. Such as, why the education system will teach my children calculus but not how to manage money. The next step in improving the sales of my book. Why the rain against the window seemed incessantly loud.

Escrow.com

In my delirium, I also contemplated why the dog in the first episode of “House of Cards” didn’t bite Kevin Spacey’s hand and give him rabies. How many jelly beans fit into the glass jar in the cupboard above my desk? Why is it that terrorists seem to keep on wanting to blow things up versus build something that lasts?

As you can see, my thinking was solving life’s big issues.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Back onboard is a good feeling!

It’s been quite a while since I last blogged and after a hiatus of two and half years I’m heading back into the sky and around the world….well, sort of anyway. I should say that I’ve been going a little stir crazy in the island paradise that is Australia and it’s with welcome relief that I’m writing this blog.

Given wars and the current state of chaos in the travel industry I’m traveling to Europe via the USA. Yes, you heard that right….Melbourne to Sydney to San Francisco to London. After a brief jaunt around Europe, I’ll then be heading back to the USA and Austin, Texas for NamesCon. To say that I’m about to clock up a few frequent miles is an understatement to say the least.

There are a number of things that are different about this trip compared to every one that I’ve made to date. For a start, my wife Roselyn and the ParkLogic COO will be with me for the entire journey, and we will be catching up with more of the ParkLogic team at NamesCon.

The biggest difference for me is that after NamesCon I’ll be staying in the USA. Yes, you read that right. I’ll be based out of Fort Lauderdale in Florida and flying around the USA on business trips for the following 1-2 months. I can categorically say that being in the US time zone will be a wonderful experience compared to my regular pre-Australian sunrise calls.

I would like to take a brief minute to introduce to you the ParkLogic account and sales managers. Andrew Miles is the account manager and Matt Herbert the sales manager. Both of them will be at NamesCon and I’m sure would love to have a chat to see if we can help you with your domains. Don't forget to checkout the ParkLogic booth and have a chat with both Matt and Andrew.

I have the privilege of delivering the first keynote on the break-out state and three masterclasses in domain monetization. Here is the schedule:

31st Aug, 11am  Kenote on the future of the domain industry|
1st Sept, 10am  State of monetization masterclass
1st Sept, 11am Monetization masterclass
1st Sept, 12pm  The future of monetization

Each of the sesions will be jammed packed with great information and as many insights that I can deliver in the time alotted.

I’d better get going now that my flight has just been called. I’ll see you on the flipside….since Australia is actually up over and not downunder. 😉

How to say "No" - to loved ones

How do you say No?

In this "Complete Entrepreneur" episode we begin to unpack how to say "No" to loved ones. This is often quite difficult for entrepreneus to do as they are so focused on their businesses vision.

Is it right to say no? When should you say no and yes? Are you burning your relationships and aren’t they why you’re working so hard?
