I'll explain more in future posts. #contentmarketing #contentmarketingstrategy …see more

I always wondered what is it that I don't get about blockchain? It's an interesting technology but it's the most inefficient way to process transactions. It's slow, costly and hard to scale. There's far better ways using virtual data and other processes. Why are so many tech companies developing blockchain based apps? This article explains it all very well: …see more

My next National Geographic story is about St. John’s and an amazing project about to launch there; can’t wait to share it with you. #AmericanHistory …see more
