He's a member of the team who invented the VipiCash app, designed to provide secure access to cash for women in developing nations, where many are in charge of making decisions about education, food and security for their families during emergencies.

Is #technology changing the way *you* do business? If it's not radically shifting your business model, you're probably leaving something out. #theradicalCPA

I posted last night about how someone quit before they started right before tax season... And I received a lot of feedback about if it was professional for me to post the crazy email. (honestly, it's just content to me). It reminds me of how I declined an offer many years ago. I felt bad and couldn't say that it wasn't the right fit. So what did I say... "There were too many geese in the parking lot, and that I wouldn't feel comfortable in the parking lot everyday!" Yes, it was a B/S excuse, but I called the tax manager and told him that. What was the best excuse you used to reject a job offer? #business #talent #radicalcpa #cpa …see more

If you only read one career article this year, or ever, read this one. And if you only retain one of the 16 pieces of advice, retain this one. Never give anyone the power to treat you with anything less than the respect and integrity you deserve. ***** "8. Never work for horrible bastards Life is way too short to tolerate really bad bosses. If you find yourself working for one, unless you are desperate or starving, start looking for a new job. Immediately. Then sack the bad boss. By leaving." …see more

I haven’t always lived with personal integrity... I’d promise to eat right, then I'd find myself scarfing down fast food. I’d promise myself that I’d exercise regularly, then I'd stop going to the gym. I’d promise to finish up that big project, and it didn't always happen. I operated mostly with a to-do list. I listed out my tasks, but they wouldn't get done. The items on my list would always just move to the next day, I’d never accomplish everything I set out to do. It was a horrible feeling. The problem is not that we don’t know what to do. Any of us can pull out our phones, search Google, and find answers for how to lose weight, live healthily, or be more productive at work. The problem is that we don’t know how to stop getting distracted. Have you managed your time and attention more effectively lately? #Indistractable #Accomplishment #Values …see more

A helpful tool for practicing traction is the effort pact. An effort pact is a kind of precommitment that involves increasing the amount of effort required to perform an undesirable action. We’ve seen a host of products and services developed around helping consumers make effort pacts. A good example of this would be Apple’s “Downtime” function. If users attempt to access a listed app during hours that they specify, the phone prompts the user to take an additional step in order to confirm that they want to break their pact to access it. Adding a bit of additional effort forces us to ask if a distraction is worth it. What we come to realize is that most of the time, it isn’t. What are some other products or services that help us make effort pacts? #Traction #Indistractable #EffortPacts #Productivity …see more

Many people demonize technology. They get you to click salacious headlines. I tend not to take such a black-and-white view of social media and similar technologies. They are what we make them to be; their effect depends on our use. I enjoy seeing what’s going on with friends and family and I’ve learned a lot through consuming social content. Social media platforms have helped my written work reach new audiences, and I like to think some of that has helped people improve their lives and build better products. The difference between my use of these technologies today and my use of them years ago is that I’ve blocked time off during my day, a portion of my schedule I label “social media time.” Why does that matter? Because it means I’ve made a conscious choice to spend time on these platforms. I’m not just browsing unthinkingly or uncritically, pulling my attention away from my work or daughter. That way, social media becomes something I’m not using to avoid another activity; it becomes the activity itself. And all those distraction battles fought-and-won add up to a lot less time on social media, and a lot more time doing the things that matter most to me. How are you regulating your social media and tech use? #Indistractable #SocialMedia #Tech #TimeManagement …see more
