Social Audio is no doubt the trendy thing in 2021 but it wasn't till June of 2021 that the wars between platforms have really hit the mainstream.  

Clubhouse was the first to market and there were some side apps popping up but just this week Facebook Live Audio and Spotify Greenroom took over the headlines. 

But it's easy to compare features and talk about startup app vs big brand app or startup focused on community vs big brand focused on audio... 

In this episode, I get away from debating which is better Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces or Spotify Greenroom and move towards what we need to think about when it comes to strategy in a medium that is new... 

• What is the strategy needed to be an early adopter that doesn’t get caught up in the noise.
• When is it important to test and tweak vs go all-in with a strategy.
• Creator coins disrupting how we look at monetizing these platforms like with ADHDcoin.com 
• What are the key steps for a strategy to make success possible

1. Define and visualize success
2. Map out goals with data that is measurable 
3. Look at audience and platform differences within targets and focus.

The last 45 minutes I pulled up 6 friends to ask questions and share their thoughts doing a little bit of live coaching and strategy work. 

• Dr. Aditi 
• Dana Bowling
• Nidhi Tewari 
• Gary Henderson
• Evan Kirstel
• James Nickerson 

We also talked about Discord and the creator economy and the impact this all has with creator coins and how I’m looking at brand partnerships… 

——— MISFIT MAFIA ———— 

Text: PODCAST

To +1 (703) 686-8551 to join the Discord server which launches around MISFIT MAFIA and creator economy:

• Creators
• Speaking & Storytelling 
• Multi-Hyphenated Marketing & Social Media

Three months ago, I had the opportunity to apply for a creator coin on Rally.IO. After researching, I figured it fit well within my influencer marketing, affiliate marketing, brand sponsorship, and executive mastermind blueprint. I could give people the option to purchase with dollars or m coin… 

3 months later, and man, was I wrong….  

Ok, I guess I wasn’t wrong altogether, but using creator coins in a transactional way is a small aspect of the creator coin value. It’s taken me 3 months of research, testing, and collaborating to truly understand how creator coins IMHO will massively disrupt the creator economy. 

Ps. I applied on the website to get the creator coin, and applications are available for anyone… my advice is to think about a unique use case for your 1k true fans! https://vip.rally.io/

On this episode I breakdown:

• Why the creator economy is less about influencers and more about community empower collaboration.
• How influencer, affiliate, network, online course creation, and subscription-based masterminds fit inside the creator economy, but their value will drastically increase for both creators and consumers. 
• Although there is a crypto element of creator coins leveraging blockchain technology, the economy created around the coin can be as unique as the creator..
• How Rally.IO allows creators to design use-cases and benefits for those that hold the coin while also developing time-based campaigns for the community to purchase with their coin.
• How simply holding the $ADHD coin over the last 3 months, there has been over 23k in $RLY coins rewarded to the community and me, the creator.
• The role transparency, exclusivity, and “True fans” play within a creator economy, empowering creators such as Portugal the Man to go all-in to even their surprise. They didn’t want to ever create a fan club as they were concerned by it coming across as just monetizing the super fans or, worse, taking advantage of them. 
• How offering different access levels has launched $Gary coin into the top 10 coins while also offering exclusive private masterminds for those simply holding a certain amount of coins on a specific date. 
  • (Kudos Gary Henderson and thanks for your mentorship these last 3 months. ) Read Gary’s take on creator coins here: https://www.digitalmarketing.org/blog/what-are-creator-coins
• The power of a community-driven project within a decentralized world makes Rally.IO the leader in disrupting and innovating within this creator coin and soon-to-be NFT space.
• How I look at holding creator coins differently than cryptocurrency, but I do hold both and do refresh those pages daily. 

Lastly why I believe the creator economy’s true power comes down to this simple equation: 

Access + Exclusivity + We > Me Mindset = Community Empowerment! 

The creator economy, much like the industrial revolution, the consumer economy, and Web 2.0, will take some time to evolve and be adopted universally. Still, as of June 2021, I’m all in on its power to do what I’ve always believed the digital world was meant to do… 

Connect good people with good people doing good things together to do great things and be significantly rewarded while doing what you love.

I challenge you to research and think about the unique ways you could be a creator and/or support creator within this economy, as this isn’t financial advice. I’m learning along with you, but I believe the possibilities are endless! 

Press the DAMN BUTTON and get you some ADHDcoin.com today and take advantage of the offer I mentioned in the video, which will be dropping soon!  

What is the ADHD Creator Coin:

Anyone holding $ADHD coin can receive Rally Rewards, which are provided to coin holders when the ADHD coin is eligible for rewards in the form of $RLY tokens. The more people that hold $ADHD coin the better the rewards! Share on social and tag $ADHD and/or @iSocialFanz and I will reshare

I've spent a massive amount of time on the newest social media shiny object CLUBHOUSE, the social audio app taking over how we connect while also diving into Twitter Spaces as a beta host as well. 

On this episode I breakdown why I think social audio is so unique and the impact it will have on other social networks and even my thoughts on what it must inspire us to do as a society! 

Even if you aren't on clubhouse or twitter spaces and maybe you were on them but you hate them I challenge you to listen to this episode not because I'm going to convince you of their value rather I believe the greater message is about going back to the past to re-invent the future. 

"Clubhouse is the ONLY social network app that prioritizes CONVERSATIONS over CONTENT!"

I believe the future of business is community and innovation is powered by collaboration and there is no social network available that enables these two things more than Clubhouse!

I've also curated using my favorite app Flipboard all of the blog posts and articles on Clubhouse that I feel are worth reading.

It's time we talk about the things we grew up being told we shouldn't talk about as not talking about it doesn't make it go away rather it just makes it more isolating and disconnected!   I promise you this will be 30 minutes well worth your time as it's time we shift our mindset and open our perspective!    I cover each of these tips on the show as well: 

1. Recognize that anxiety is normal and its ok to not be ok and being ok with that is a step in the right direction 
2. Identify the good distractions not by do they push you forward or back but rather what do we do that provides us relief
3. Own what you can & can’t control by tracking your desired end result with what needs to happen for that to occur. 
4. Don’t let others determine how you want to connect while also being creative with how you allows others to connect to you
5. Self-love is not selfish it’s necessary in you becoming your best self which will help you help others
6. Own your feelings, giving yourself time to feel and own that feeling will empower you to gain clarity in the moment and in the future feel better faster 
7. Give yourself a break and manage your expectations 
8. Be kind to others and embrace the role lifting up others has on you as the kindness both giving and receiving can be often times all we need to move forward

Live #Podcast Recording of #FOMOFanz the Brian Fanzo show Multistreaming and sponsored by Restream.IO https://restream.io/?ref=PGOMW

FOMOFanz began as a selfish content creation method for me. I was already hosting two interview shows, and running two twitter chats, and I had reached a point of live streaming just to live stream was no longer in my brand strategy. But I knew I needed something that would keep me in the live streaming game, but I didn't want to manage another podcast or live show with guests and other people's calendars...

So I thought what if I did a solo podcast and could record whenever I want and talk about whatever I want... GENIUS!

Since it's launching, the name has changed from F.O.M.O.Fanz to FOMOFanz to FOMO Fanz and the mission statement went from "Helping you embrace your fear of missing out" to "Helping you cure your fear of missing out." In typical form for content I create, I had a broad "niche" that I would attempt to squeeze into. Still, quickly after 5 episodes, I realized as the CEO of Team No Niche that it was just silly. I would talk about a wide range of topics and bring the conversation back to help understand the changing future...

After launching an interview podcast called "Press The Damn Button" I was presented with the question of what I should do with this podcast. Should I merge it within FOMOFanz or keep it separate. Press The Damn Button is modeled after my favorite podcast Arm Chair Expert by Dax Shepard. He does a great job of having a mix of content with interviews, live shows, and "expert on expert" that live within Armchair expert but also have separate feeds.

Before, I decided what I was going to do with FOMOFanz March 2020 hit. Then after attempting to record two episodes and not feeling it for the first time in the 4+ years of the show, I realized anything with the concept of "fear" in it while dealing with a pandemic isn't appropriate. This was also the perfect excuse/valid reason to pause FOMOFanz and move forward with Press The Damn Button. Enter August 2020, 5 months after the pause.

I was fielding lots of comments about if the show would come back, and many of 2019 episodes were getting some fantastic downloads still.

So 168 days after pausing the show, it's been renamed, rebranded, and remodeled once again to FOMOFanz:

The Bran Fanzo Podcast.

And as I reflect back on the 1,370 days since launching FOMOFanz, I'm genuinely thankful for each and every listener that has given me their time. Allowed me to share my thoughts. Allowed me to use this podcast to rant. Allowed me to vent and in many cases, use this show as my own self-therapy. I'm genuinely thankful for each of you and excited for what is next!

There are a ton of tips, blog posts and videos on what you need to do to be successful working from home thanks to the coronavirus forcing so many companies to mandate working from home for their employees.  

As someone that has worked from home managing teams as a government contractor for 4 years then went back into the office for 2 years and then working from home for the last 5 years as an entrepreneur I thought it would be of value to share what I've learned works and doesn't work both for me and for those that I've managed.

Interestingly enough the first time I worked from home was prior to being diagnosed ADHD and just that little difference transformed how I approach my work from home life and the way I manage my day.

On this episode I cover

• Why you working from home is much bigger than just you!
• The importance of balancing expectations as a manager, employee and entrepreneur
• Why I believe most that work from home burn out and how to avoid it?
• What to do to avoid the frustration and overcompensating that comes with out of site and out of mind!
• Importance of calendar blocking and assigning a time with an alarm to certain daily tasks
• Why you should track the amount of actual “work hours” you did work in the office before trying to map out your work from home day!
• Why most focus on productivity tips & avoiding distractions and I think you should focus on redefining the 9-5 workday. 
• My number 1 tip in regards to motivating myself to work harder and accomplish tasks and why Chipotle is my secret weapon. 

I will be doing some additional videos and content on working from home over the next couple weeks including how I logged and videotaped myself to really double down on being self-aware and adapting my work habits to how I work not the other way around.
