What’s going down?
Hi, I’m Ryan.
My goal is to work less for more.
How?

[The web is my friend]  my software startup  my side project my personal blog  on the advisory board 

[Remember to…]
Embrace the web.
Control your image .
Expand your reach .
Gain credibility .

[Embrace the web]

Wake up to what people are saying about you.

[Control your image]

[Expand your reach] is your voice is your resume is your reputation is your marketing department is your networking event

VOICE
or soapbox
MEGAPHONE  HANDSHAKE  or poke 

[Gain credibility] There are lots of “fake” experts on the web. It’s ok to be one of them. Stick with it. Hustle. Learn a lot. Then leave them, but teach them what you’ve learned. “ The next nobody is somebody. The next somebody is an expert. …smarter than you.” – Steffan Antonas

[Must haves]
Blog – remember, you’re the expert
Twitter – have your name
Facebook – almost 100% social
Youtube – embrace it, you’re cool
LinkedIn – no jokin’ around!

Embrace the web.
Control your image .
Embrace your image to reach credibility.
Expand your reach .
Gain credibility .

Please: Use your new grown credibility wisely.

[Thank you]
