Building an awesome team with Jon Rettinger

Today, our guest is Jon Rettinger. Jon is a regular face in the tech world as a commentator on CNBC and Fox Business and a contributing writer to Wireless Week. As President and Editorial Director of TechnoBuffalo, he brings consumer electronic news to over 21 million viewers per month. He ranked in the top 5% globally in social media influence and was one of OC Metro's top 40 under 40 for 2011.

Today, Jon talks about his past experiences and aspects of his life where he made some erroneous actions, the journey that has molded him into someone in the content creator community, and how one could build a highly effective and efficient team.

Content Creator Space [07:35]

Content creators are divided into artists and business creators. For John, his reputation is crucial. You must have a sense of urgency in fulfilling deadlines and providing material to establish that reputation. Brands have traditionally sought to collaborate with creators who would deliver on schedule.

Fantastic Working Space [10:44]

Being in a good relationship with your coworkers is essential because things tend to fall apart when there is a lapse in communication. It allows for simultaneous brainstorming of ideas, but it also makes it simpler to pitch new ideas when the people around you are receptive and open to them.

Irreplaceability [12:33]

You should know you can be replaced. Non-compliance will result in dismissal, and your input can be burdensome or dilute your unique voice. Your work is vital, but far more significant persons are leading the way.

Hiring Process [19:09]

Hire only when necessary. You must decide if the employee can earn enough money to sustain their wage. Now is the moment to hire if you know what they will do and how it will assist your bottom line. It is not the moment to hire for your peace of mind or display your hiring skills by recruiting someone.

Widen your Circles [26:49]

It is sometimes perceived as lonesome to be a content creator, especially if you do it yourself. But keep in mind that expanding your circle of friends through acquaintances is not only a game changer in that sector, but it will also provide you with support from people who are specialists in their respective fields.

Mentor [36:56]

John got a sincere and polite offer from John Morrison, now of DLD, to film his studios for a while and see how they worked, their creative processes, when he was an old techno bull. For John, that line of action re-ignited a lot of things. He is continually working to create a work environment where he feels fully integrated.
