    The intricacies of culture

    The intricacies of culture

    Culture is everywhere, but only a few know and understand what it is. In this final episode of Pondered Bytes - for now - we investigate, and explore the various ways of doing things and how there really isn't a "right" way.

    To niche or not to niche, that is the question

    To niche or not to niche, that is the question

    Should we or shouldn't we niche? Many of us think of niching as limiting and confining, but what if this wasn't the case, and we instead had a little bit of "commitment issues"?

    In this episode, I'm not looking to convince, but aim to suggest an unusual perspective.

    Know Thyself

    Know Thyself

    Not much can be achieved without a WHY for long - that has been established already - but what's more important than that, AND drives every decision and action? Before we can start with WHY we must know who we are.

    Do you know who you are and why you should know yourself in the first place?

    If you don't know the answer to these questions, worry not. In this episode, we'll get to the root of it all and explore the only constant; our values.

    What will your brand’s obituary say?

    What will your brand’s obituary say?

    We live life with the thought and fear that it’ll all end one day. What if it doesn’t have to be something we fear, but should instead embrace?
    In this episode I talk about mistakes, regrets, death, and how obituaries can bring us solace.

    On your brand becoming what you didn't intend

    On your brand becoming what you didn't intend

    Sometimes our brands and the services we provide may be interpreted completely different from what we intended. This episode covers caring and when it no longer seems enough. The question is: “are we devoted to our audience, or do we do things in a perfunctory manner yet expect them to be happy?”.
