What Tech Startups Need To Know About the Cloud Nov 16, 2018

Show notes

What was once a futuristic notion has turned into a scary place to store our data. The cloud can be a tough place to understand, and an even tougher place to keep your data secure. Without the right professional advice and strategy, you might make a mistake that could cost you.

Unitas Global CMO Scott Walker joins Scott in-studio at WGN Radio to try and explain the cloud to him. Large legacy businesses are migrating their data and services to the cloud, but they don’t realize what kind of difficulties they may encounter.

Fake It Til You Make It; Trader Edition Nov 15, 2018

Show notes

This past year has turned a lot of average Joes into less-than-average investors, and we can thank the crypto surge for this. So you bought a share of a company, and then the stock dropped 60%... what do you do now? That's what keeps people away: the constant ups and downs of the market.

Some of us are afraid to buy stocks, some of us are afraid to sell stocks, but some of us are nuts and actually do both. We all know that one friend who can't tie their own shoes but somehow they're making money on stocks (coughSCOTTcough). What's stopping you from being that friend?

Rapunzl Investments founder Brian Curcio gives Scott investment advice in-studio at WGN Radio. Whether you’re a day-trader looking to make that quick buck, or you “hodl” every stock you have your hands on, you’d be much better off with some help. Shoot, even Scott needs some advice once in a while.

6 Tips for Successful Company Parties, Benefits and Other IRL Interactions Nov 14, 2018

Show notes

Every time you throw an event, you make a statement about your company, your brand, and yourself. If you host a bad event, people will remember it and reference it whenever you come up in conversation. So you'd probably want to host the best experience for your guests, wouldn't you?

PartySlate CEO Julie Novack joins Scott in-studio at WGN Radio to talk about how events should be more than just having a bunch of people in a room. Your event should have a clear purpose and objective, not just free food and drink. Each event is unique, and everyone will associate your brand with your events, so it’s always in your best interest to get a professional planner to help you (like, maybe PartySlate).

Julie is also our guest on Fakers and Makers this week; Amazon HQ2, lifelike robot spouses, and driver-less cabs are the issues up for discussion in this episode. Tune in each week for a new segment of F&M featuring a different guest!

Startup Showcase: Talking with CEO Todd Unger Nov 13, 2018

Show notes

When Todd Unger was working for AOL many years ago, people told him he was nuts. "You're crazy! This is all a fad!" Well, who's nuts now? Media has come so far in the last couple decades, and Todd is no stranger to it.

Old institutions are becoming digitized to keep up with the advancement of media. Ford is becoming a software company, newspapers are becoming online-only, and even Todd's company, the American Medical Association, has moved onto digital journals. The influence of companies is greater than it ever was and nowhere as great as it ever will be.

Listen to Scott and Todd talk about the advancement and modernization of media in this episode of the Technori podcast.

Watching eSports in a bar just like football Sunday... that's FanHome Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

FanHome founder Lucas Pasch joins Scott in-studio at WGN Radio to talk about the rising world of eSports. FanHome brings people together to watch live eSports just like live sports: in bars with beer! Millions of fans tune in to watch Overwatch, Dota 2, and CS:GO championships. If you’re one of them, and you live in Chicago, you might want to check them out.

Gone are the days of streaming eSports tournaments to your computer at home. Attend a FanHome event and you could find others near you with similar interests. Soon, FanHome will have their 2019 eSports schedule figured out, so be sure to stay up to date with that. Who knows, maybe Technori and FanHome will play video games together one day...

The trick to marketing is to treat it like a first date Nov 08, 2018

Show notes

Steel Croissant founder Matt Mroczek joins Scott in-studio at WGN Radio for the second time in one year! On the show before with Scrub30, Matt makes the point that marketing is a lot like trying to land that first date. There’s a lot of gut feeling involved, you need to make a connection, and there’s a bunch of garbage out there to sift through.

This startup just used video shoutouts to reinvent the autograph market Nov 07, 2018

Show notes

Cameo CEO Steven Galanis joins Scott in-studio at WGN Radio to talk about why Cameo is so far apart from Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. One day in the very near future, Snapchat might not exist. But something as interesting as Cameo will. With Galanis at the helm, it’s important to bet on the jockey and not the horse.
