MasterCard might buy a lot, but ones personal brand might as well be priceless. Of course, you are exactly right. MasterCard might buy a lot, but ones personal brand might as well be priceless.

It can only help and transparency, albeit the latest buzzword, is important. You are your brand and if you don't capitalize on it, somebody else will. See you around Hey man glad to see you blogging.

Zach, I love this post. it is thoughtful and I enjoyed some of your definitions.Sometimes we get caught up in the ideas of authenticity and transparency that rule social media norms and we disclose everything. However you are right, if that kind of disclosure doesn't define you then it will feel wrong and eventually fail. I'm glad you are blogging now and opening up to the world, only because I've seen so many benefits in my own life for doing the same. Social media is an introverts playground, welcome to the party. :) Yay!

I still have some trepidation, but I believe it is something I can and will manage successfully. I'm trying to look at it as just another one of life's experiences. To succeed in this world, one needs to go outside of the comfort zone once in a while. You are correct, and others have helped out as well.
