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!

I’m really excited to announce that I have been asked to host a regular weekly event in ClubHouse as a part of StartUp.club. The event is called “The Holistic Entrepreneur” and will be exploring both the business and life aspects of starting your own business.

It’s great to be sharing the hosting of the sessions with the dotClub team of Colin Campbell, Jeffrey Sass and Michele Van Tilbourg. This week we will be also joined by Nivu Hussain and Rachael Lasbrook. The level of experience that each of these people bring to “The Holistic Entrepreneur” is phenomenal and it’s an honor to be sharing the stage with them.

There are many resources available for entrepreneurs, but there are not many that explore how to manage all the other aspects of your life. For example, how can you be so focused on your business vision while maintaining a relationship with your partner and children? How can you bring balance to your life so that you don’t burn out? Why staying healthy is so important.

Topic this week: “Your Business Will Go as Far as You!”
Date: 5pm EST, Thursdays
At any time you can go to http://now.MAX.club to see the next event listed.

I’ve been blogging/vlogging for over a decade on everything from domains through to my own personal life journey. Sharing my knowledge and experience with others is one of the many pleasures in my life. What’s even more exciting is when I hear from a reader or viewer….

I would like to invite you to provide me some feedback on what you would like to hear me share about. Is it different aspects of the domain industry? I’ve been an entrepreneur for nearly 40 years, would you like to hear me share on that topic? How about managing the balance between business and life?

So don’t be a lurker, comment, skype, email, IM or send a carrier pigeon to my house. Send me a message about what you think would be a great topic to hear about.

Have a great Easter!
Michael

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of spending some time with some great individuals. In this “Conversations” segment I have the absolute privilege of chatting with Christina Beavis, the founder of GrowthStrategy.pro.

Many people in the Internet domain industry will be familiar with Christina as one of the key players of the registrar Momentous, which includes Rebel.com, Internet.CA, Pool.com and of course, .sucks. She’s been a regular domain conference attendee plus heavily involved in ICANN and all things that impact registrars and registries.

I think you are going to really enjoy hearing from Christina about her new passion as she embarks on an exciting journey helping businesses become more successful.

The week saw some pretty bumpy numbers with both Google and Direct advertising networks being buffeted up and down. It will be interesting to see if this type of behaviour is going to continue in the coming weeks.

I had a great time sharing and listening to last week’s MAX.club in ClubHouse. For those of you that were unaware, I’m now running a weekly 1-hour session on “Entrepreneurship and Life”. As an interim measure you can go to MAX.club to sign-up to the club or MG.club and go to this week’s session details.

This week is title “The Entrepreneur’s Hope” and in this we will be looking at what drives entrepreneurs to push through adversity, work crazy hours and give so much for their dream.

Date: Every Sunday 7PM EST, 7PM PST
