    Against Happiness: Are We Trying Too Hard to Be Happy?

    Jon Hansen

    Date / Time:

    Category: Business

    Call-in Number: (347) 326-9234


    Winston Churchill is someone for whom I had and have a great deal of admiration. From the determined "Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense," to "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts," I am to this day moved by the heart and drive of a person who like all of us, is a fallible human being. Yet it is in this very fallibility, and the challenges of his "black dog" that author and psychiatrist Anthony Storr wrote of Churchill: "Had he been a stable and equable man, he could never have inspired the nation. In 1940, when all the odds were against Britain, a leader of sober judgment might well have concluded that we were finished." In his new book “Against Happiness,” Wake Forest University professor Eric Wilson asks whether we are trying too hard to be happy, and whether over medication is draining our culture of the melancholy that historically gave rise to many great artists and writers. Does the quest to numb ourselves to the point of blissful ambivalence and avoid the reality of the full range of our emotions somehow deprive us of the very drive that propels us to overcome and ultimately attain real happiness? I can only shudder to think where we would be if Winston Churchill had made the decision to mute his "divine discontent." To explore this controversial and thought-provoking subject, I am pleased to welcome Eric Wilson to today's show.

    How McDonald’s Real Estate Decisions Impacts Success on Blog Talk Radio

    Date / Time:

    Category: Business


    Similar to the old Alka Seltzer television commercial that prompts you “to try it, you’ll like it,” which itself has experienced a renaissance in recent years with perpetual “D” List actress Kathy Griffin reviving the catch phrase that first gained popularity in the 1960s and early 70s, Blog Talk Radio represents a renaissance of the old snap, crackle and pop medium of our collective pasts. But is a Blog Talk Radio really that different from traditional radio in terms of successfully gaining and keeping an audience’s interest? To better understand how these seemingly different worlds converge through the exciting realms of social media and in particular the conveniences of Internet-based radio, I am pleased to welcome new media guru Alan Levy the Founder of Blog Talk Radio to talk about both the differences and similarities of creating a successful radio program in the Web 2.0 world.

    Diminishing Prospects: How U.S. Policy is Undermining Entrepreneurial Vision

    "But there I was, eating lunch at Saravana Bhavan in Sunnyvale (ahh, the things we endure on our spouses’ birthdays!) when I started noticing the t-shirts from local start-ups and NASDAQ 100 companies that stood out like a dense chain of barren, monochromatic islands among a colorful, undulating sea of saris. I wondered how many of these foreign-born tech-sters would still be here in one year’s time? Three years? Five years? Because in case you haven’t noticed, America is facing a brain drain unlike any in our history." The above excerpt is from a reader who was commenting on Brad Feld's October 21, 2009 Blog post (Feld Thoughts)titled "Startup Visa Stories." Tied to his September 10, 2009 post "The Founder's Visa Movement," Feld believes that “the US should grant permanent residency to anyone who graduates from a qualified four year university with a computer science degree.” The basis for his position is that "These are young, talented entrepreneurs that have come out of a three month program with amazingly interesting startups," that if successful will create "US based high tech jobs." Unfortunately, the process for acquiring the needed Visa is in Feld's words "expensive, risky, and tiresome, causing these budding, high caliber entrepreneurs to seriously consider "returning to their home countries to build their businesses." In today's segment of the PI Window on Business I am joined by Brad Feld to delve deeper into the question of granting "Founders" Visas, including why it is a program that would make sense as well as the obstacles to its realization.

    Redefining the RFP Process: SRS' RFPBlaster Heralds a New Breakthrough in SaaS Purchasing

    On my November 5th post titled "Exemption from the Competitive Process: Calculating the Costs of Convenience" I shared with you the press release from SRS Inc. regarding the launch of their new RFPBlaster solution. According to SRS, the RFPBlaster “offers high quality, ready-to-use Request for Proposals (RFPs) for IT managers and procurement specialists.” The release goes on to say that “RFPBlaster enables faster time to market at a lower cost and with less risk,” meaning that organizations can “readily tap into and benefit from decades of procurement expertise with one simple and cost effective suite of tools.” Even though SRS is a sponsor of the Procurement Insights blog, I indicated that one of the reasons why I have been "enthusiastic about their solution has little to do with their technology – although it is impressive." What is exciting is the fact that clients can leverage the organizations "procurement expertise." In essence, what SRS delivers through RFPBlaster is the intelligence that through technological innovation can be "streamlined to enhance the reliable engagement of the appropriate versus convenient number of suppliers required to deliver maximum value." In the process, SRS' visionary leader Andy Akrouche indicates that the “RFPBlaster levels the playing field for medium sized organizations by providing quick, easy and cost-effective access to high quality RFPs. This allows RFPBlaster clients to engage in a dramatically improved competitive procurement process, reducing risk and resulting in better acquisition outcomes,” concluded Akrouche. On today's PI Window on Business Show, I welcome Andy Akrouche to discuss both the consequences of limited RFP competition and how it led to the creation of the RFPBlaster.

    The Social Network with a Social Conscience

    As social media veterans and thought leaders have noted, the impact of emerging platforms such as the Twitters and Facebooks extends well beyond the ability to simply connect and exchange information about favorite movies and what someone had for dinner. There is a growing realization within these mediums that social networks can be an instrument to make social contributions as demonstrated by the introduction of causes and charitable feature options. However, does this spirit of social service translate into sustainable social change? Specifically, is Facebook or LinkedIn capable of engaging and mobilizing its vast membership base into a collaborative and collective force for positive change through dynamic, and well informed conversational exchanges? Do they have the capability of identifying and equipping champions of change with the needed flow of viable information and insight? Are these even the sights to which these socially oriented leaders belong? While examining these and well as other questions regarding the increasing influence of networks in terms of bringing social issues such as the recent Iran elections to light, today's program will focus on one unique social network that creates sustainable traction through the combination of next generation technology and a commitment to be a positive force for change in the increasingly complex, global community. This is the story of So Act. So Act is the 60 Minutes of social networks . . . probing, assertive, informed and balanced. To tell us how the network got there and of even greater importance where it is headed is So Act's visionary heart and founder Greg Halpern.

    The Twittering Granny: Diary of a Social Media Virgin

    Today’s senior population is exploding at historic levels. According to the U.S. Administration on Aging, the senior population numbered 37.3 million in 2006, or 12.4% of the U.S. population, and is expected to reach 20% of the population by 2030. With advances in modern science and medicine lowering mortality rates, the worldwide senior population is expected to grow to 2 billion by 2050. So what does all that mean for social media? When it comes to the Web, many boomers and senior caretakers are just as tech-savvy as their younger counterparts–and senior-focused social media sites are quickly rising in response to the needs of this rapidly-growing segment of the population. Seniors are faced with a number of unique challenges, including financial planning and retirement, health care, changing housing needs, grand-parenting, and more. Today there are a whole host of social community websites that focus on the specific needs and concerns of seniors, as well as present marketers an opportunity to reach them. The above is an excerpt from the May 27th, 2009 article on Web Ad.Vantage titled "The Senior Side of Social Media." As a Baby Boomer, reconciling the antithesis that is the passing of time with the all too familiar "but I don't feel like I am 50" is a strong indication that generational issues and musings are not confined to the traditional mediums of information gathering and exchange. Yet even with recent studies which indicate that those of us who "mature" in years are with increasing frequency entering the social media realm, very few are creating "worldwide visibility, awareness, and credibility of an on-line brand and persona." Enter Joy Webber a.k.a. "The Twittering Granny," who's newly launched blog "Diary of a Social Media Virgin" has created the kind of celebrity that national radio show host, author and Public Relations genius Marsha Friedman would applaud. Joy is of course my guest on today's show.

    The Business of Books: How Writing a Book Has Become the New Calling Card

    "The first step that many experts take to establish their celebrity is to write a book about their area of expertise." "Next to “I Love You,” “are you working tonight” and “no more garlic in the pasta,” is “you know you should write a book!” "There is a reason the word Authority begins with Author. As an author, you gain instant recognition as an authority in your field. In order to achieve success, you need a comprehensive book marketing plan and you must keep the marketing wheels in motion." The above quotes, including the last one by today's guest Stephanie Chandler, are for many a call to action. According to PR expert Marsha Friedman, “Businesses are struggling in this economy and success in today’s world requires business leaders to market in a way they may never have done before,” she added. “They need to rise above their competition, become THE ‘go-to’ guy in their field, the recognized expert people want to deal with. The credibility that comes with this recognition can build a business or turn one around that’s failing.” So now that the urgency has been established, and the way to distinguish oneself from the crowd and competitive landscape is by putting the proverbial pen to paper, what is the next step? Enter Stephanie Chandler and her company Authority Publishing. According to the company's website, "Authority Publishing specializes in publishing business, how-to, self-help and other non-fiction books that make a difference in the world." An author of several books herself Stephanie can help you to establish a book marketing plan that creates a sustainable presence while simultaneously establishing your celebrity as an expert in your chosen field. Are you ready to establish your personal brand through the power of the written word? Don't wait for the movie, write the book.

    The Twittering Granny: Diary of a Social Media Virgin

    Due to technical problems beyond our control, today's interview with Joy Webber a.k.a. "The Twittering Granny" has been rescheduled for Monday November 16th at 12:30 PM EST (5:30 PM UK Time). In the meantime I am pleased to offer the back-up segment "Death Before the Eulogy" with New York Times bestselling author Dr. Larina Kase and comedienne Sally Haas. As a point of interest, on page 96 in my new book "Your Show Will Go Live in 5 Seconds," I make the following recommendation: "this is another reason why a back-up segment centered around you as the host is important as I can think of no worse last-minute ponderance than “what am I going to do if I am the only one on the show today?” You can also upload a recorded version of a previous show to serve as an emergency replacement, so have one uploaded and ready to go at the click of your mouse." Well as you will note from today's show, having the back-up episode ready to go at the push of a button made it a somewhat seamless transition that eliminated dead air for those audience members who chose to continue listening. All I can say is here is the link to purchase Your Show Will Go Live in 5 Seconds, which contains a wealth of other useful information for hosting your own Internet radio show or podcast: http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/your-show-will-go-live-in-5-seconds-%28confessions-of-a-blog-talk-radio-host%29/7841595
