The good old KWestions format is back with a reboot. I have been thinking for a while what would be the difference between my EDUKWEST interviews and KWestions. I finally decided to do exactly what the name of the show says and ask my questions.
This will result in a more open format where I’m going to ask KWestions to people of various backgrounds about things that simply interest me and I would like to learn more about. I hope you will enjoy this relaunch.
One of the best viral marketing campaigns of this year, if not of the decade, was the Old Spice man answering your Twitter questions via a YouTube video. As always when something is so vastly successful a ton of others try to copy this meme and most likely fail because it is simply not as good as the original.
But what if you take the idea and spice it up with some TED talk nobility? Apparently you get something awesome.
My good friend and mentor Andrew Warner of Mixergy asked me this question yesterday after his interview with Colin Wright who is, of course, a Digital Nomad.
This is a very interesting question indeed and I think this kind of lifestyle will become increasingly interesting especially for educators. So, here is my take on it.
