Memories of #SoMix2012 @MattHixson: Influence – Today and Beyond

Matt Hixson

I was flattered (and a bit surprised) when Hessie and Danny over at Jugnoo asked me to speak at Social Mix 2012.

Look Beyond the Obvious For Your Business Success

Look beyond the obvious

Often, we change things based on what we see in front of us, or based on perceptions of what we feel is in front of us. It may be that our sales channels are bringing in less than 12 months ago; so we change the sales team or manager. Or, our customers are leaving in [...]

Heritage, Culture and What the Japanese Can Teach Us About Business Longevity

Japanese culture and business success

If you take a look at a list of the oldest companies in the world, you’ll see the glaringly obvious fact that the majority of the companies listed are Japanese. Germany makes a good argument for having a fair few, while the U.S. begins a late charge once they broke away from British rule. The rest [...]

Fear and The Terrifying Social Media

Fear in social media

Social media is terrifying. Anyone who tells you anything different doesn’t have a firm understanding (As firm of an understanding that the average user can have) about what social media is. Those are likely the same people who would stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon and scoff at its overwhelming vastness. It’s terrifying, [...]
