A Conversation with Serial Entrepreneur Dana Todd about Being Present

In the introduction, I introduced Dana Todd as formerly The Queen of SEO.  I found this old interview with Dana about Search Engine Optimization.

Dana talked about people missing live experiences because they are too busy with the technology.  She specifically referenced the idea of recording a live concert and watching through the tiny screen rather than absorbing it in real time.  Recording and watching live concerts on their iPhone as recording it...it is annoying and likely illegal.

Dana is building an online marketplace in bespoke women’s clothing.  I mentioned that there are a lot of entrepreneurs entering the “online marketplace” space.  Apparently, there is significant growth in online marketplaces. 

Dana spoke about the practice of Subud.  I knew nothing of it and started down a rabbit hole on it.  Start here if you are interested

It is Moldova and it is in Eastern Europe.  I experienced major problems saying it correctly during the conversation.

I mentioned Tony Hsieh’s book, Delivering Happiness

Dan is reading (or rather listening to) The Transparency Sale by Todd Caponi

Dana mentioned “Ask Me Anything” livestreams that Business of Fashion is running in different time zones and the sharing of information by business leaders.

Dana loves to connect with people and is happy to connect on fashion and literally anything else.  She can be found at Balodana.com
