Howdy Reader! Kirk Nugent tried to buy kirknugent.com and couldn't. Another Kirk Nugent, a poet and speaker, already owned it. So Kirk added his middle initial, took a nickname nobody else has, the Geek Speaker Preacher, and started deciding for himself what shows up when people search for him. Most of us have never looked. Kirk does this for a living, and it still happened to him. Today we're sitting down with Kirk, an online video coach and former IT executive whose career ran from NASA to a university CIO job. He now runs a program that audits and rebuilds people's digital footprints. We're exploring: → How to tell whether your footprint is intentional or abandoned Join us live TODAY, Friday, September 18 at 10 AM Central See ya there! P.S.

Then we tried to remember how we met, and our stories don't match. One involves a golden throne. The other involves Lou as Snow White, and I've been trying to get that picture out of my head ever since. Gustave Flaubert warned...
Howdy Reader! There is a profile on the internet with your name on it that you've not edited in about three years. Other people are looking at it. Two things changed on LinkedIn this year. The feed stopped running on your own network, and only about a third of what people see now comes from their own connections, so your posts land in front of strangers. At the same time, AI assistants started reading LinkedIn to answer questions like "who should I hire for this?" So now we know both new...
Howdy Reader! Mike Allton is one of my BBFs (which stands for Before Beard Friend). I've known him since the Google Plus days, which, in internet years, was right after AOL stopped sending you floppy discs.
