Best of CES 2017

Happy new year! I started 2017 off – as many internet entrepreneurs do – in Las Vegas at CES. Partnering with Dell, I hosted a music/tech dinner with Intel and The Glitch Mob, a brunch with Dell/Microsoft/Alienware – and I even took over Dell’s Instagram for the week to share live moments from all! Shout-out to some other clients and friends I got to hang out with, including Scripps Network, HGTV, Food Network, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Refinery29, Medialink, Jaguar, Altec L

Mashable #BizChats: Tips for a Successful 2017

2016 isn’t the problem, and 2017 isn’t the solution! Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of joining Mashable‘s Tracey Edouard for a Facebook Live about how to take stock of your accomplishments and prepare for success in 2017. I gave my top career tips – from regularly documenting accomplishments to learning new things every day to asking your employer the right questions at the right time.

Facebook Live with Refinery 29

This week, I hosted one of Refinery 29‘s final Facebook Lives 2016 – speaking about social media best practices in 2016 (and some trends we need to leave behind). Top Social Media Fails of 2016 Before looking ahead to 2017, I talked about some of the biggest social media fails of 2016, from Ryan Lochte’s untimely hair Tweet to Total Beauty‘s Whoopi Goldberg/Oprah mixup. The takeaway from these fails? Always do your research before posting on social media, hire thoughtfully, a

Screening Calls with 3M

I’m proud to say the world is my office – but sometimes, that means I’m typing emails on a plane, train or automobile, within close quarters to complete strangers, especially in NYC. Visual hacking happens every day, with hackers obtaining info in 15 minutes or less. You can easily prevent this on your laptops, tablets and smartphones with 3M Privacy Filters – which block side views and keep what’s on your screen reserved for you.

Small Business Saturday with American Express

Small business, huge impact. As a content creator, small business owner and American Express Cardmember since 2003, supporting my fellow small businesses is not only a pleasure – but a privilege, especially since AmEx helped me start my own business as one of my first-ever clients back in 2009. On this year’s Small Business Saturday, I celebrated a few of my favorite small businesses – Viyet, for helping us style our shoot locations, GLAMSQUAD, for always getting me camera-re

E-School for Girls: The Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

As a small business owner, there are few things I’m more passionate about than helping the next generation of female entrepreneurs. (I even give them a plug in my latest for Forbes.) Over the last year, I’ve had the honor of working with the E-School for Girls pre-college program, which gives young women the opportunity to learn how to innovate and create their own businesses. (Learn more about our February launch event with Microsoft and NYU.) This summer, I mentored the gir

Palm Springs Film Festival Tech Day

Don’t hate the player – or the game. This week, I sat down for a panel discussion with three video game producers at the Palm Springs Film Festival‘s ShortFest to talk about the creative process – and how the internet is revamping the video game industry. Alongside me were filmmaker and creator of Kismet David Chontos, Senior Producer of Narrative Content at Cloud Imperium Games John Schimmel and chairman of the Writers Guild of America Videogame Writers Caucus Micah Wright.

Rebecca Minkoff Talks Shop

Check out the video of Rebecca and I talking shop (pun intended) to watch her discuss everything from how she started her business to the instrumental role that social media has played in building her brand.

Council for Economic Education: #MySavingsStory

In honor of Financial Literacy Month this April, I partnered with Council for Economic Education to curate a month-long video campaign, #MySavingsStory. From Elie Tahari to Rosie Pope to yours truly, we recruited 15 global innovators to create videos featuring their advice for financial success. (Check out the compilation video above, and watch how I learned to save money here.) These videos are airing in K-12 classrooms nationwide to inspire kids about the importance of unde

Don’t mess with tech. Last week, I headed to Austin for SXSW Interactive.

The night started with cocktails at W Austin followed by an unforgettable meal at Uchiko, followed by live music courtesy of Nate Botsford.
