YouTube Therapy for Physical and Mental Health

YouTube, a company owned by Google, has no timeline for profitability. Despite not turning a profit as a business, they have created a widely known platform to produce and consume content on. Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, spoke at the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit in Laguna Niguel, California in mid October 2016. "We are still in investment mode." Susan Wojcicki YouTube was founded in 2005, and twelve years later the company is still in investment mode. That is impressive for a long-term plan. As for a short-term investment, I see YouTube to have already provided payback in several avenues. One

Startups and job growth continues to build momentum in 2017. President Trump has made it one of his top priorities, but with a list of current other issues, it often becomes a back burner problem. The United States continues to drive innovation in different markets with our advanced technology in comparison to other developing countries. That technology gives each person an opportunity to better their lives each day. In the first TED Talk below featuring Bill Gross, he covers data from different startups, and found that 42% of the 200 businesses he surveyed excelled when their product had proper

SXSW Interactive provided multiple platforms for developers, designers and producers to learn more about managing digital content this past March 10-14. One way to find the upcoming tech trends and diamonds in the rough at SXSW is by going to the coding workshops and discussions. Keynote speakers will have more industry knowledge, but to find original ideas and a strong center of collective consciousness, guests will have to dive deep into interactive events. Hacking meet ups is an excellent way to network at SXSW. A popular trend that I noticed from one of the SXSW Interactive courses was the

Three Possible Upsets that Could Shake Up March Madness 2017

The NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament is going to get started this month with the men going head-to-head first. Teams from across the country will represent their schools in hopes of taking home a win in the final round of competition. For the past three decades, a large percentage of sports fans participate in a bracket style competition to pick winners for each game. Gambling is a serious issue, and should be treated. I am not suggesting that one needs to place a bet behind their bracket to enjoy the tournament. These suggestions are only suggestions. I used
