Episode 15

Open To Work and Unemployable at the Same Time

Published on: 7th March, 2025

I am open to work and unemployable at the same time. I talk about Brian Clark's former project site, Unemployable (now called Leading Expert), and my search for a new freelancing gig as an individual with a solopreneurial mind. I tell about my past assignment that I have had for almost 20 years, and my new role as new media advisor, and future opportunities.

Martin:

Foreign welcome to Tea Party Media Live Streaming forthcoming episode 15 of Tea

Martin:

Party Media Podcast.

Martin:

So testing here and see I'm saying on air on YouTube and on Facebook but not on LinkedIn.

Martin:

So we'll see how it's going here.

Martin:

Now I try to connect live on LinkedIn several

Martin:

times but it's something maybe with the API or something else.

Martin:

So reach out to Harry of Boom Caster and see how it works work in the future.

Martin:

So the topic today is open to work and unemployable at the same time.

Martin:

And on LinkedIn I have this circle green circle saying open to work and that expression

Martin:

here I'm doing now on live with the quotation mark.

Martin:

Unemployable is by a blogger named Brian Clark and he had a podcast with that name also

Martin:

unemployable and now it's called Leading Expert.

Martin:

And I will include here in the show notes an interview with Brian Clark on a podcast called

Martin:

the 21st Century Creative Podcast talking about Brian Clark giving career advice to the

Martin:

employable.

Martin:

So that will be interesting to listen to and I will then do a series here with episodes about

Martin:

every week about my skills, trade traits,

Martin:

experiences,

Martin:

knowledge in different topics as a new media advisor,

Martin:

content creator, blogger, podcaster,

Martin:

former purchaser,

Martin:

etc.

Martin:

And also I've been working as a moderator for a long time for a site called Bis Sugar owned

Martin:

by Lita Campbell's Small Business Trends and now she is emeritus of that site and has

Martin:

handed over solely to TechGuy there.

Martin:

And so I will also include note that they have on their Bis Sugar share site and I have some

Martin:

projects going on regarding advising as I said as a new media advisor for a site that I look

Martin:

forward to see what will be happening, what's happening in the near future that will give a

Martin:

positive impact of the Internet for the content creators regarding privacy,

Martin:

how you could earn an income for what you are creating for example as an artist, a music

Martin:

artist and others and also working with a community tool or as I call it like to call

Martin:

it,

Martin:

building a digital town hall that you could do for certain projects for different businesses

Martin:

projects etc. And where you need someone that will so called grease the wheels, taking care

Martin:

of staff, administration,

Martin:

admin,

Martin:

being a moderating, welcoming new users, onboarding, etc.

Martin:

So what I want to talk a little bit about today that I've been both employed and having

Martin:

a business also and I'm open for work like a freelancer in the gig economy doing it online

Martin:

but also physically and part time and being at an office doing different projects and in my

Martin:

field then as I said,

Martin:

as a former purchaser,

Martin:

as a new media advisor, content creator, etc.

Martin:

And it will be interesting here that the name

Martin:

here, the unemployable that Brian Clark had, that site is now calling is called Leading

Martin:

Expert and they had a title there or something subject line talking about personal brand

Martin:

branding.

Martin:

Personal branding and thought leadership.

Martin:

What's that really is.

Martin:

So that's something to talk about in in the future about customer experience,

Martin:

personal branding,

Martin:

corporate branding.

Martin:

To be an influencer in a positive way.

Martin:

I call myself an intellectual nano influencer.

Martin:

And the importance and the power of new media, social media and how you could use it in a

Martin:

good way.

Martin:

And at the same time also how to be careful what's going on here with the big tech and the

Martin:

social media platforms regarding privacy, data mining and also what do we get as users of the

Martin:

platform, the social media, the networks.

Martin:

That's something to reflect on.

Martin:

And that's why I'm a supporter of the

Martin:

Podcasting 2.0 initiative.

Martin:

And there it's one, especially one new service called TrueFans FM by Sam Setty and company

Martin:

that I really like and I've become an active user.

Martin:

They have lots of great new features.

Martin:

It's positive gamification,

Martin:

how much you are donating, how much you're streaming satoshis.

Martin:

One Satoshi Ware is a bit of a small bit of a bitcoin.

Martin:

So if you take one bitcoin and divide it 100 million times, you get one satoshi.

Martin:

And also the listening time and the interaction and the comments like a super

Martin:

comment that they're doing, creating a comment and then pay for that and have this

Martin:

interaction with the podcasters.

Martin:

And you could then also share the split with the guest and everyone that's included in a

Martin:

workflow and the production of a podcast.

Martin:

And this could also be applied to music and musicians, to bands etc. So this is

Martin:

interesting times.

Martin:

And again talking about this freedom of

Martin:

expression,

Martin:

the importance of support and protect, but also enhance develop the RSS feed.

Martin:

That's something that I will talk more about also here on Teapoty Media Podcast.

Martin:

Again, I will come back to fred here on LinkedIn and see how it could work to going

Martin:

live on LinkedIn through this service called Boomcaster.

Martin:

I could of course do a live event on LinkedIn, but I want to record it on Boomcaster so I

Martin:

could use it also as a podcast, edit it and then make audio format of this live streaming

Martin:

and then create episode, episode 15 of this live stream.

Martin:

So I will come back to that and see what's going on with the live connection here on

Martin:

LinkedIn.

Martin:

I see here again with them connected to

Martin:

Facebook and YouTube and I will try to keep this short and sweet and I have again I said

Martin:

my note card here from model 1927 writing with this black wing pencil from America create a

Martin:

photo there or take a photo of note card.

Martin:

I will try to do this every every week, once a week short and sweet about new media, business

Martin:

philosophy and the good life.

Martin:

Again what I'm working on projects what I'm looking for, searching for and open for work

Martin:

as I said.

Martin:

And yeah with that I will say cheerio and talk

Martin:

to you soon again in a week or so and keep conversation going on LinkedIn on Facebook if

Martin:

you want that on YouTube and especially check out in the near future this new service called

Martin:
