For the past few years, experts have argued that the key to future online business models no longer lies in traditional advertisements and banner ads. Obviously it isn’t enough to throw up a simple website and expect revenues to pour in from Google Adwords and selling adspace. However, by employing creative use of advertisements, digital companies can still generate profits from a dying monetization technique.

The amazing thing about this video is that AT&T predicted all of this technology back in 1993 and today, almost everything in the video is now in existence. The reason why corporations such as AT&T have been able to survive for such a long time lies in the fact that they are always thinking ahead to predict what the market will eventually need.

Blogs are everywhere. Your friends have them. Celebrities have them. Companies have them. So why don’t you have one?
You don’t want to jump on the bandwagon right? Why follow the crowd? No one cares what you think so there’s really no point writing it down.

I play a game called Cube Runner on the IPhone. It’s a simplistic game involving your little ship which moves left and right as you tilt the phone. You dodge boxes and try to last the longest in order to obtain the best high score possible.
So why do I continue to play this simplistic game? Because, each and every single time I play, I try to beat a previous high score. If my roommate Charles beats my score, then I’ll keep playing until I beat his high score. The …

That commercial never gets old, no matter how many times I watch it.
We often find ourselves seeking security in careers very far off from our passions. Why? Because we don’t think differently. We follow the norm. We do what is expected of us. Even if all you cared about was making money, I guarantee you that you can still follow your passion and do just that.
How many times have we just lay awake in our beds at night thinking about our purpose in this world. I’ll tell you …

After some consideration, I’ve decided to dedicate this website to finding passion in everyday people. As mentioned in my About Me section, I love meeting people who are passionate about the things they do in life.

I will be posting interviews of everyday people who have passions in different areas as well as random articles and thoughts that I feel will be useful for you guys. Hopefully, by …
