Understanding

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:17:17 -0500

So this past semester at school as just been insane. I’m constantly busy working working working. Don’t get me wrong, I do love it. But I’ve had so much on my mind. I’m constantly seeing things change. New platforms being developed, new businesses. New friends and they are all crushing it. At one point I thought that I should just give up for now and finish school before worrying with this type of stuff. It does get me down some. But as of here lately, after reading “Crush It” and watching the vid’s on the Vook I have a much better understanding of what I need to do. Of how I can at least try to crush it. Finding your passion can be a hard thing at times. But to be honest, you just need to look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Am I happy with what I am currently doing?” ”What is the one thing I could talk about all day every day?”

I’m almost there. So close. I have, hopefully, one more year of school until I graduate. Now is the time I should focus on myself and my passion. I need to set a goal to where I would like to be in 2011. I am starting to understand this game so much better.

College Tip of the Day

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:31:59 -0400

As a college student, I want to find tools that I can use to my advantage that make things easier on me.

Also as a goal this year, I wan to try to stay as paper free as I can.

I use my MacBook a lot for my school work and note taking.

I think the best app I use is Evernote (http://www.evernote.com/).

Evernote is a very user-friendly note taking application. You can take notes by text, audio, or video.

The great thing about this application is that it can sync with my iPhone so if I am not using my computer I can take a quick note on my iPhone and it will store it so I can view it on my machine later.

What tools do you use to make your college life or even work life easier?

Just a quick update

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:34:23 -0400

Yeah, I haven’t updated in a while.

I apologize.

Just an update of what’s been going on:

Still working on finishing college. I’ll be graduating next year unless I want to stick around to get my masters.

I have been brainstorming a lot and I have a couple of ideas/projects I am starting to work on. I’ll discuss more about those in the near future.

Hope everyone is happy and CRUSHING IT!

Luke

P.S. Looking forward to Gary Vaynerchuk’s book “Crush IT!” in less than a month!

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 03:35:00 -0400

Trying to explain why “hustling” is so important. If you don’t love what you do, if you don’t have a passion for it. If you don’t hustle and have the swagger for it, then you will be unhappy. I don’t want that for ANYONE!

Tatango.tv = BRILLIANT

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 14:13:36 -0500

On March 1, 2009, the team of Tatango.com launched their 24 hour live broadcast called Tatango.tv. Basically they set up a bunch of web cam’s around their offices and are streaming live, via Ustream, 24 hours a day.

I have had the privilege of meeting Derek Johnson, CEO of Tatango, and Adrian Pike, CTO of Tatango at the Teens in Tech Conference. This was a very exciting time in my life and I felt very honored to finally get to meet them. Hearing what they had to say about Tatango and the life of entrepreneurs just set the fire under me even higher. When I first heard about their idea of Tatango.tv I was hooked and ready to see it in action. Now this is a very bold move to make and will get tons of feedback and criticism. But, in my personal opinion, I think this idea is brilliant. Why? Social networking and social media are hitting the main stream harder than ever right now. Tatango uses Twitter religiously and Derek now has his “tip of the day” as a video blog post. Why stop there? Streaming live 24/7 may be a risk, but it’s a great way to keep your fans/customers in tack with what you do and what you love to do. Having a live stream, with a chat room, enables people to jump in and ask questions and get to know the team of Tatango. They can clearly show that they are hard at work and talk about what they are doing and the future of Tatango. Communication is such an important part of business that I feel this is the right move to make. I can see this idea being used a lot more in the future of businesses.

The best part of Tatango is that they are all young, full of ideas and with Web 2.0 and the latest enhancements of technology, they will crush whatever challenge comes there way and be able to make bigger and better improvements to Tatango.

Startuplucky.com has recently interviewed Derek, Alex, Adrian, and Andrew. Check it out here:

The Milk and The Cookies

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 14:25:55 -0500

Danny Trinh’s keynote is by far one of the best I’ve heard. His concept using the idea of “Milk and Cookies” is very solid.

Just know that you are not the best. Don’t have a huge ego. But, get both the milk and the cookies.
