Subject: This week in Govcon with Eric .. January 17

No sense in wasting your Friday, let's get to the meat and potatoes. 

Experimenting:
This week I was testing YouTube live with a guest speaker using Zoom. It was a beta test for my goal of bringing live speakers on my platform. We started at 11am (just testing) and it turned into a spectacle as people started tuning in. For a good laugh watch here  

The result is this wound up being my most watched and rated video in 24 hours over the last 47 videos I published, go figure!! Sometimes your accidents turn into your successes!  

Reading:
Too Big To Fail a behind the scenes look at the financial crisis on Wall Street and In Washington to provide an accurate account of just what took place. I was both a victim and a beneficiary of the collapse, it brought me to the path I am currently on. 

Cyber Over Security at Agencies:
The other day I was having a difficult time trying to send emails to a Navy base it kept getting flagged. What I learned from a Construction manager was that personal email is allowed if no private information is being shared. The other alternative is to use, DoD safe, which is where they send you a link to an external “cloud” service that will take your email and then send it to the user. I found this to be an effective way for getting the message across that didn’t make it.

Positive News:
Our friend Jennifer Namvar of Leidos, the Billion Dollar Capture Manager, Govcon Giants Episode 004 shared a quick 2020 survey with me regarding my federal goals for this decade, and at the end I signed up for her free 14 page toolkit, The Ultimate Govcon Growth Strategy which was super awesome.

A Celebration:
My friend Jay from BEB podcast, where I was featured last month was nominated Top 10 Black Podcasts That are a Must Listen in 2020. Congratulations Jay. 
If you have not heard my interview, I shared it episode 35 of our Govcon Giants podcast. By the way I also wrote a an excerpt in Jay’s upcoming book.
