This created a problem that I was not fully prepared for. Sales! I mean, students show up in your class no matter what. Right? But clients? Yeah, that’s a tougher sale.
So, I started fiddling around with AI and figured out a way for GPT to take over that function. One problem (at least with ChatGPT) was that it would not insert links in the output or conversation. There was no way to transition someone out of the conversation to my Calendly or Stripe apps so they could sign up for my classes or pay for these services.
But, this morning… problem solved. Using the Poe AI platform and Claude, it worked like a breeze. <a href="https://poe.com/s/yklb2DirZh3FFtoPXrva" target="_blank">Take a look for yourself</a>. </span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Chazen's thesis titled "Thriving on the Edge of Chaos: An Argument for a Complex Adaptive Theory of Education" presents a case for the adoption of a complex adaptive system approach in the field of education, challenging the conventional scientific-deterministic model. His study found profound changes in student participation and higher order behavior when implementing a more fluid, laterally powered system, where the teacher acted more as a facilitator. These changes, he argues, lead to enhanced creative and critical thinking in students.

He and his sister dreamed of a better life in America. After hiding out in Poland and Romania, they eventually made it to Buffalo, NY where he became an insurance man and raised a family. Though he worked in insurance, the story is told that he had training to be an engineer. He and his son Boris, who in the 1950s, became an engineer got to work on developing what would have been the first of its kind – a microwave vending machine. Though the microwave had already been invented in 1947, there was nothing of its kind in popular use - a machine that would dispense a hot meal. Even in the 1970s, you might see a vending machine next to a microwave oven, but you still wouldn’t see the two combined into one thing. After they completed the design, Otto would spend the next several years writing letters to companies for funding and partnerships. Nothing happened. Otto and his dream died in 1966. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiReEJ0ikyFz5q7SSwI1Hc53l6i72MrnT_XRWxayg4stlxoQETM8V4GMUt2dvusYPm7ap2j-UrDA3lbvYSrdI-BBjeqg4CpYecJyU6xQcOLvDpa6m7eCDA_qZQetmS1rvtJbOQkrRmfMe7LiW46_b7qqTyf81kDc5nRHa7cz7iL8LAp31rhNg/s1280/Otto's%20Journey.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiReEJ0ikyFz5q7SSwI1Hc53l6i72MrnT_XRWxayg4stlxoQETM8V4GMUt2dvusYPm7ap2j-UrDA3lbvYSrdI-BBjeqg4CpYecJyU6xQcOLvDpa6m7eCDA_qZQetmS1rvtJbOQkrRmfMe7LiW46_b7qqTyf81kDc5nRHa7cz7iL8LAp31rhNg/w400-h400/Otto's%20Journey.png" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/15/0e/c6/1884e4731c568b/US2990973.pdf" target="_blank">Documentation</a> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://patents.google.com/patent/US2990973A/en?assignee=Otto+L+Chazen" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Listing on Google Patents</span></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 700; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/78687330060277615911178660041335012292512425265844255920968122015006502944769/" target="_blank">Make Otto Chazen’s Dream Come True </a></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can now own a one of a kind, single item </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3d85c6; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><a href="https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/78687330060277615911178660041335012292512425265844255920968122015006502944769/" target="_blank">NFT</a></b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> of one of the earliest versions of the microwave oven in the form of a patent filed for a microwave vending machine – called a Food Heating and Dispensing Apparatus.

The machine uses a coin-controlled mechanism to quickly heat the meals using dielectric heaters. The customer can then take the meal out of the machine through an open door. The machine also has a signal that alerts the customer when a certain type of meal is sold out and also returns their coins. The machine can be adjusted to take longer to heat the meals during slower periods to save on costs.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The patent also explains that this invention is an improvement over previous vending machines that have been disclosed, which only sold and heated items such as hot dogs or hamburgers. This machine is specifically designed to sell and heat pre-cooked dinners. The use of dielectric heaters allows for the meals to be heated rapidly and efficiently. The coin-controlled mechanism and the ability to adjust the heating time during slower periods make this machine practical for use in busy vending locations. Overall, this invention is a convenient and efficient way for customers to purchase and consume pre-cooked meals.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This passage describes the design of a vending machine that sells pre-cooked meals. The machine has a cabinet with a door that opens to reveal a refrigerator compartment inside. This compartment can be set to either chill or freeze the meals, and is divided into sections for storing different types of meals. The meals are stored on non-metallic plates, such as paper, ceramic, or plastic, and are supported in upright positions so that they can be easily removed from the refrigerator compartment. The machine is divided into 9 sections in this example, but the number of sections can be adjusted as desired.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The machine is designed in a way that meals are stored in frozen condition and when the customers want to buy a meal, they can select the type of meal they want from the selection of different types of meals that are stored in different sections. The interior of the refrigerator compartment is maintained at a low temperature by a refrigerating unit, which is a common construction and well known, so it's not described in detail. The machine also has upright partitions and horizontal guide rails that separate the different sections, and the meals are stored on non-metallic plates, such as paper, ceramic, or plastic that support the meals in upright positions, so they can be easily removed from the sections. The machine is designed to be convenient and efficient for customers to purchase and consume pre-cooked meals.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This text is describing a food heating machine. The machine has a plate (18) that is placed on a heating surface (30). There is a movable micro switch (31) on the heating surface that is normally in an upward position. The heating surface is slightly below the level of the chute that the plate is placed on, so that the plate can rest against it. When the plate with food is placed on the heating surface, the switch is pressed and the power unit (33) is activated. This type of power unit is well known and can heat the food quickly, in about 15-20 seconds. This machine is useful in places where there is a high demand for food during certain times, so that the food can be heated quickly and served without long delays.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This process is describing a mechanism for selecting and dispensing food from a cabinet. The microswitch v'32 is used to detect when a plate of food is partly withdrawn from the cabinet, and it connects with contacts 93, 120, and 71 through a conductor 79. When switch 65 is pressed, it activates a step relay that moves a contact 70 into engagement with contact 93. There are multiple dinner selecting switches (38) that are used to select which food to dispense. These switches receive power from conductors 121 and 79, and from contact 93 of the step relay. When one of the switches is pressed, it closes a circuit through conductor 74 and switch 75, which activates solenoids 27 that withdraw the latches that hold a plate of the selected food. There is also a self-conchute microswitch 229 that prevents the door from being opened until the food is ready to be served. The cabinet has multiple doors, each with an indicator (such as an illuminated sign 36) to show that the food is ready to be removed.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your purchase will support the creative work of Lee Chazen</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is not only the purchase of a great collectible and a fascinating piece of engineering history, it will also make possible some worthwhile projects in education, creativity and content development.

Lately, I've been describing myself as a multipotentialite or hyper-generalist, but I think that just confuses people. I'm looking to find a community of likeminded, differently skilled, non-traditionally intelligent people who appreciate both physical and mental pursuits in the true Renaissance spirit, i.e. improve one's body through hiking, trail running, yoga and body weight workouts -- while at the same time improving one's mind through reading, discussion, writing, understanding new concepts and frameworks or engaging in academic, spirited, yet friendly debates.<p></p><p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0.8em 0px 0.25em; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;">For example, I recently met someone at a retreat in the Eastern Sierra of California who was a former dancer in the New York Ballet and who studied under Mikhail Baryshnikov. He is now a care taker of the retreat center where I stayed. I had great respect for this man's dedication to a dream. As for me, I hold on to my pursuits and dreams the way some people love their children. You wouldn't abandon your children, would you? In that same way, I used to perform in symphony orchestras, traveled with our college's debate team and pursued a degree in political science. I run, hike, compete in trail races, play disc golf and get into philosophical discussions on metamodernism, complexity theory and the state of our political and economic systems. It's a balancing act because people in these different groups never meet each other -- but when they do, it's sometimes like oil and water. It's been like that for me since high school where I try to find the thread that connects all these different people and their ideas together. I've never tried to find a group where this all exists in one place, but it would be an ADHD / Renaissance dream come true.</p><p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0.8em 0px 0.25em; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;">I honestly believe that there is a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts and if people from all these different interests came together in one place, it could be a place for paradigm shifting ideas, new inventions and who knows what types of new combinations of things. Now, I know what you're thinking -- they already have universities and community centers in certain cities. True, but notice how fields of study are separated into different buildings with different philosophies on different sides of the campus -- and students are forced to choose an identity. Even traditional schooling tells us that we must divide things into math, science, English, social studies, etc. and that it makes no real sense to try to combine such things (yes, of course there are exceptions. I taught at a high school that created thematic units of instruction that encouraged students to find connections).</p><p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0.8em 0px 0.25em; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;">It would be a dream to also find a way that this community could thrive economically. Imagine the creative and productive potential of such a community, where every imaginable skill would be available, for example, in creating content for the internet. Everyone would bring connections from different fields or areas of interest such that contracts and opportunities would flow. More left brain people do one thing. Right brain type people would do another. Visionaries and conceptual minded people would sit alongside GSD (get sh*t done) oriented people such that thought would be formed into action.</p><p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0.8em 0px 0.25em; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;">I have to add that I did my <a class="_3t5uN8xUmg0TOwRCOGQEcU" href="https://www.academia.edu/17619912/Thriving_On_The_Edge_Of_Chaos_An_Argument_For_A_Complex_Adaptive_Theory_Of_Education" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">research</a> in the area of self-organization and chaos theory as a model for education -- so I believe that a decentralized community where good ideas organically rise to the top has a much greater chance of success than traditional companies and organizations (where one might argue that brilliant ideas often don't see the light of day).</p><blockquote class="_28lDeogZhLGXvE95QRPeDL" style="background-color: white; border-bottom: 0px; border-image: initial; border-left: 4px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyTextAlpha20); border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 4px 0px 4px 8px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 8px; quotes: none; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;"><p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><blockquote>Let's put this another way. Companies generally do not recruit people in this way. Even with AI assisted job search tools, they've only figured out a faster way to scan through skills in traditional resumes. They still don't know what you truly know, what your innate abilities are, how you feel about certain things philosophically or the things that make you feel human or alive. They don't ask, typically, and they often don't care. <span class="_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;">Whereas, a truly revolutionary intentional community of the sort described above would ask these questions first.</span></blockquote><span class="_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><p></p></blockquote><p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: "Noto Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0.8em 0px 0.25em; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;">I have to say -- if this resonated with anyone out there, you would change my heart and my view of humanity. As I sat down to write this, I wasn't even sure where it might go, but this is where it went. I was thinking this exact thing yesterday - that we might just have it backwards. In most academic pursuits, you start with a thesis and then find evidence to support your claim. Yet, there are many who say this leads to confirmation bias - that you are only finding things which support what you believe to be true - as opposed to sampling things and seeing what might arise. There's a name for the latter. <a class="_3t5uN8xUmg0TOwRCOGQEcU" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounded_theory" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Grounded Theory</a>. I believe that if the right group of people came together around a central theme of, I don't know, finding a better way to live or a better way to make a living and enjoy being a human being - it might just work.

It just refers to having more than one potential or a lot of different interests. In this case, I'm referring to a community composed of people with different skills and interests where we might collaborate or help each other on creative or meaningful ventures.<p></p><section id="postingbody" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #222222; font-family: "Bitstream Vera Serif", "Times New Roman", serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;">I wrote the post below one week ago and it's getting close to 7,000 views so I feel the time is right for this type of thing. As a trail runner, hiker, disc golfer, musician, writer and educator, I'm seeking a new type of community that is well rounded, curious and supportive. I live in Sacramento currently and I'm just not getting that vibe here lately, so I am open to new places.<br style="scroll-behavior: auto !important;" /><br style="scroll-behavior: auto !important;" /><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/intentionalcommunity/duplicates/xtg11p/an_interdisciplinary_dream_a_community_built_on_a/">An Interdisciplinary Dream: A Community Built on a Series of Questions, Rather Than a Statement - A Community Where the Whole is Greater Than the Sum of its Parts. Could it Work?</a><br style="scroll-behavior: auto !important;" /><br style="scroll-behavior: auto !important;" />Here's a quick scenario. You're not part of a community like this, but you're dissatisfied with your current work or life. You're smart, creative and not being fulfilled on your job. You make fitness part of your life in some way and you'd like to find others to join you in your routines or goals -- or maybe you don't have these things in your life but want to.<br style="scroll-behavior: auto !important;" /><br style="scroll-behavior: auto !important;" />Whatever the case, I know and maybe you know there is something better, more positive, more meaningful to shoot for. If you feel this way and want to set up a home somewhere or maybe have a place you'd like to offer that fits this model, let's talk.</section><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4P0QU6YJcLrfA2JMHFQzkJ9q-4lp7jCik3KPMWMYBF_EVnuuPT2y8VgC34EmEhJbRg6Dz57U3yT_vlhFqeASULXfSWkfimLtnGs0uIodV93rzLEw51bZx97SPp7U78VtZe-hhwVNc0AdkGdhqJcBdXPwEKckX-Smt0X_R0Af0-L82VUjOw/s1920/8D168C83300BF8676B97C4D50FACAB78.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4P0QU6YJcLrfA2JMHFQzkJ9q-4lp7jCik3KPMWMYBF_EVnuuPT2y8VgC34EmEhJbRg6Dz57U3yT_vlhFqeASULXfSWkfimLtnGs0uIodV93rzLEw51bZx97SPp7U78VtZe-hhwVNc0AdkGdhqJcBdXPwEKckX-Smt0X_R0Af0-L82VUjOw/s320/8D168C83300BF8676B97C4D50FACAB78.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><section id="postingbody" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #222222; font-family: "Bitstream Vera Serif", "Times New Roman", serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></section><ul class="notices" style="-webkit-box-ordinal-group: 2; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 2em 10px; order: 1; padding: 10px; scroll-behavior: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline;"></ul>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13350637.post-51766410988415363172022-09-16T08:28:00.005-07:002022-10-14T08:32:25.747-07:00Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.

I had a clear idea in mind about how I would use principles I learned from “emergence” and “self organization” to create a program that would start from the bottom up, e.g. using service station engineers and mechanics to participate in the process of building the new vehicle since they had more front line experience with the design and effectiveness of the car. But, I needed more of a team and Tesla was not keen on hiring outside consultants. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face=""Proxima Nova", sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;

We would seek to use new methods — creative combinations of imagery, infographics, explainer videos, sound and a more common language of understanding to communicate messages.</span></p><p class="pw-post-body-paragraph kr ks ih kt b ku lm kw kx ky ln la lb ke lo ld le ki lp lg lh km lq lj lk ll ia gi" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="ef89" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: -0.003em; line-height: 32px; margin: 2em 0px -0.46em; scroll-behavior: auto !important; word-break: break-word;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">For money.</span></p><blockquote class="lr ls lt" style="box-shadow: rgb(41, 41, 41) 3px 0px 0px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0px -20px; padding-left: 23px; scroll-behavior: auto !important;"><p class="kr ks lu kt b ku lm kw kx ky ln la lb lv lo ld le lw lp lg lh lx lq lj lk ll ia gi" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="e1f2" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 21px; font-style: italic; letter-spacing: -0.003em; line-height: 32px; margin: 2em 0px -0.46em; scroll-behavior: auto !important; word-break: break-word;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;">Why?

I have a background in different styles of learning and intelligence types, which I use to tailor my writing for diverse audiences. In 2008, I added social media to my skillset and began offering social media marketing and content consulting services under the name Zero Bubble Media. In 2014, I was employed as a Chief Content Strategist for a successful educational technology company, where I was responsible for creating a clear and easy-to-understand "common language" for their product. Today, as GliderCell, I offer content and copywriting services, including narrative creation, website content editing, manuscript writing, and content restructuring.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>What kind of services do you offer as a UX Content Strategist? </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I offer a variety of content and copywriting services, including narrative creation, website content editing, manuscript writing, and content restructuring.

is to serve as a helpful guide to the user, making them feel welcomed
and comfortable with the content, process, and navigation system. My aim
is to empower and engage the user and help them take the necessary
steps easily, always keeping the customer at the center of everything.<span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This all requires clear, actionable writing, persuasion and attention to details. </span></p><p><b>What is your process for creating UX content?</b></p></span><div class="flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3"><div class="min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap"><div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light"><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I follow these steps:</span></p><ol><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Discovery: Gather information from key players and clients to understand the background, message, desired user experience, and desired action to be taken.

Inspired by the principles outlined in "Building a Story Brand" by Donald Miller, I aim to create a personalized and user-centric experience. This means considering what the user is thinking and feeling as they navigate the website, and making their journey as smooth and helpful as possible. By putting the user first, I can then effectively integrate the organization's goals into the content, creating a cohesive and effective UX writing strategy. I strive to create a website that feels like a conversation with a responsive and friendly customer service representative.</span></p></div></div></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-c3ce3aaa-7fff-5f22-307c-8bc685fb8755" style="font-size: medium;"><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 15pt; margin-top: 15pt;">Yes, I have extensive experience conducting content reviews and audits. I
have a proven track record of streamlining web and social media content
to increase efficiency and effectiveness. I have a structured approach
to content review, creating a "content matrix" to categorize information
according to theme, purpose, usage, and intended audience. I have
worked with teams including engineers, UX designers, graphics designers,
sales, and management to revise and improve content for both
SmartEdTech and Treasury Curve. I have even worked directly with CEOs,
ensuring their vision is reflected in the final content. My skills in
content review and audit make me well-equipped to provide valuable
insights and recommendations for your organization.<span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="color: #0b5ab2; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 15pt; margin-top: 15pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How do you work with UX designers? </span></p></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Great question! Communication is key when it comes to working with UX designers. I actually learned a lot about UX designers when I gave a presentation to the UX team at Cisco Systems in San Jose. I was there to talk about brainstorming techniques, and one of the topics we discussed was their communication challenges with the engineering team in China.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I understand that every person has their own unique personality, intelligence type, and way of processing information, so just like I would adjust my lesson plans to cater to different types of learners, I also adjust the way I communicate with UX designers. That's why I came up with the HikeStorming program, where people go for a hike and finish their thoughts or ideas on something while they're on the trail. It's a great way to communicate and collaborate with others in a unique and creative environment.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So, when I'm working with UX designers, I like to keep an open mind and be flexible with my communication style to make sure we're on the same page and that our goals are aligned. I also make sure to consider the language, culture, and personality types involved in the process, and I find ways to bridge any gaps in communication. And who knows, maybe we'll even incorporate some musical sound bites to convey the flow of the design!</span></p><div class="flex justify-between"><div class="text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-3 md:gap-4 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible"><span id="docs-internal-guid-c3ce3aaa-7fff-5f22-307c-8bc685fb8755" style="font-size: medium;"><p><b>Do you have experience crafting content for regulated industries?</b></p></span></div></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Yes, I have experience in crafting content for regulated industries. I have written web content, social media content, and press releases for the launch of Umergence, a crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platform registered as a broker/dealer with FINRA. I also have experience as a content strategist for Treasury Curve, a FinTech company, since 2016. In both cases, I follow best practices for compliance and ensure that content is approved by the relevant stakeholders before release.<span id="docs-internal-guid-c3ce3aaa-7fff-5f22-307c-8bc685fb8755"><br /><br /><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><b>Any final thoughts on your style as a content strategist? <br /><br /></b></span></span> I like to make communication as clear and efficient as
possible. To achieve this, I use a variety of methods such as sending
audio recordings with transcripts, sharing visual aids like Google docs,
slides or Canva designs, holding Zoom meetings with sketches or
designs, providing examples from other websites, having in-person
meetings, or making phone calls. While basic text like email or
messaging can be useful for certain things, I've found that it can often
lead to miscommunication and miss the nuances that make humor and irony
effective. That's why I prefer to use a variety of communication
methods to make sure everything is clear and understood.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
