Outsmarting Smart Devices

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Samsung. The opinions and text are all my own. Some devices are smart, but not all are intelligent and certainly not all are secure. Back in May, I traveled with Samsung to the Enterprise Wearable Technology Summit, where I spoke with Erik Bjontegard, founder of Spark Compass, about how the company is maximizing the capability of smart devices with new information-based technology. See the full interview here. I also had the

Shifting Gears with Samsung

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Samsung. The opinions and text are all my own. Very excited to announce that as of this week, I am Samsung’s new video correspondent, creating enterprise content for their blog and social channels! We kicked off our partnership at the Enterprise Wearable Technology Summit in San Diego last week, where I interviewed several wearable experts and also asked them: What’s something you can’t do on today’s smartwatch that you wish

Alienware Miami

Don’t hate the player. Thanks to Alienware and Dell for inviting me to Miami this week to talk about the power of influencer marketing on my home turf. I spoke about everything from the importance of influencers for small businesses to recognizing influencers are paid for their time, not their opinions. See you again soon! #SmallBusiness #digitalmedia #techentrepreneur #gaming #Alienware #Dell #digitaltrends #tech #Miami #SocialMedia #NatalieZfat #SocialMediaTrends #SocialMed

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

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.

Northside Festival 2016: Innovation Meetup

How’s this for a fun fact? By 2020, 50% of all workers will be self-employed. On Monday, I joined Dell and Microsoft at the 2016 Northside Festival Innovation Meetup to share my founder story – from fired to hired (as my own boss). I shared my tips, insights and challenges as a small business owner and social media entrepreneur – what I’ve experienced forging an industry that’s so uncharted. The space has changed a lot in these five years, but I’ve figured out some constants:
