Liberty on TWiT.tv Millennial Edition with Leo Laporte! Episode #LoveThySelfie 541

#ThatTechGirl : A co-host on the first ever This Week in Tech: Millennial Edition!
In case you missed it!
I made my TWIT.TV debut!
I had the honor and privilege to talk tech with the original The Tech Guy, Leo Laporte!
Sitting along side Silicon Valleys finest, Alex Wilhelm of Tech Crunch and Lauren Hockenson from Nextweb. We talked professional drone selfies, hashtags, 50 cent (fiddy cent as Leo likes to call him), self driving cars, brogrammers with hoover boards, and some good ole patent infringement. Seriously, we need to decide once and for all who actually owns a circle?!

In the event you have been living in a hyper loop tube and never heard of the show, This Week in Tech is the most popular show on TWIT and recent named top twenty of tech podcast!

Watch the “Great Hashtag Debate of 2015”

It turned into a heated GOP vs Dem debate. I am pro HASHTAG!

ALSO BE SURE TO WATCH some behind the scenes footage of how I was almost trapped in Petaluma due to my Silicon Valleyness aka my bright idea to drive my electric car in the rain while low on battery power!! It is a nail biter!

A #LibertyLesson – State your mission and attract those who support it

A #LibertyLesson LibertyLesson Liberty Madison

When you build a brand you have to commit to your mission statement, vision, and purpose.
Every company, non profit, organization, person is driven by a mission. A common falsehood is “its business it not personal” or “we are a corporation we do not take a side”

Know who you are and attract people who support it.
You will loose people but you will gain a tribe.
For example, I will not venture into a contract with a company that kills/ tortures dogs (animals). I would not go into a sponsor deal with Maybeline or L’oreal.

I would opt to promote a brand who aligns with my goal and theme. I would do one with WETNWILD or Smashbox. The point is you can find a company that shares your vision and mission. You do not have to sell you soul.
Technology has given you the opportunity create the life you want!
State your mission and find those to compliment it.

    A #LibertyLesson – Moving Forward

    image

    A #LibertyLesson on #MotivationMonday about #movingforward. When one door closes another door opens. It doesn’t matter if you closed the door or if you opened it. It’s called Life. The very nature of life is to move forward, grow, expand, populate,and explore. Moving forward offers just that.
    You do not have the option to grow old, you only have the option to grow wise. Do not move forward for the sake of movement but move forward for the sake of growth. Change for the sake of change falls flat,but change for the chance at life is transcendent.
    A new year, a new focus, a new you.
    Every moment you are a new you,you are moving forward with or without you,so catch up and get in the game!!

    Liberty Madison #ThatTechGirl on Living your best life

    image

    Hi! I’m @LibertyMadison #ThatTechGirl. My passion for #Entrepreneurship extends far beyond my excitement for #technology. I encourage you to be an #entrepreneur first and foremost, you need not be a #techie. But #technology and #entrepreneurship go hand and hand. You can create a solution to a major problem using innovative #technology.
    And THAT #technical solution breeds #entrepreneurship.
    I want to invite you to learn to code, learn analytics, become an engineer, choose a #cs degree, go to a #devbootcamp, build an app that will change your life!

    I believe we all possess an idea that can change the world.

    Let’s change it!
