My Entrepreneurs Unpluggd Interview

Logan Lenz — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 15:33:40 +0000

I’d like to thank Tim Jahn of Entrepreneurs Unpluggd for asking me to do this interview.

In the 20 minute discussion, I talk about paving your own entrepreneurial path, as well as my experience with my 3 most prominent ventures – Endagon, Jiggy Piggy, and Iced Tees.

America’s War Against Social Media

Logan Lenz — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 19:21:33 +0000

I thought the title itself was worth posting about.

In the video embedded below, you will be exposed to an interesting discussion that is currently (secretly) taking place in our country. With the continued rapid growth of social media and overall web and media communications, we need to stop and consider the Government’s role, if there should be any, in all of this.

Nowadays, everyone has a voice – a place to broadcast and speak their minds online. Whether on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube, news is traveling faster than ever, and more importantly, the promotion of potential chaos and destruction can spread much more quickly than ever before.

Should social media EVER be regulated? If so, how?

I was invited, but unfortunately couldn’t attend. This weekend, I encourage you to take an hour and a half to watch this video of Champions of Change – an event that honors young entrepreneurs that are making a difference with their ventures in some way.

In the video, you will see the Young Entrepreneur Council Founder, Scott Gerber, speaking about youth entrepreneurship in our country.

Enjoy the video and leave your thoughts on it in the comment section below.

Mashable recently put together a 3-minute video concoction of entrepreneurs lending their experiences and advice to fellow entrepreneurs.

I thought the video was informative enough to post here for everyone’s review. I know everybody can’t read every single Mashable post individually, so this is for all of you that might have missed this one.

Enjoy!

FOWA Interviews Jason Calacanis (VIDEOS)

Logan Lenz — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 17:31:44 +0000

I don’t usually just post videos on this blog, but I found this 2 part set of interviews to be nice background audio during a frantic workday. If you have 20 minutes to spare for your headphones’ air time, play these informative videos and leave them running. No need to watch the visuals.

I have become a big fan of Jason over the years. Right now, I am enthralled with his weekly podcast, This Week In Startups, and love his entrepreneurial beliefs.

Whether you are a fan of his or have never even heard of him, check these out and leave your comments below.

Shoeboxed.com = An Admin’s Nirvana

Logan Lenz — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:59:41 +0000

I admittedly spend WAYYYY too much time doing administrative work for my businesses. I’m not an Accountant or paper filer, I’m an Entrepeneur and Business Owner (I actually despised Accounting classes in college and frequently tell my Accountant that I feel bad for him). Running numbers and getting organized is a pain. But it’s essential and one of the most important components of your business. Without some sort of organization in tact, your company will inevitably fall apart. That’s just the way it goes.

Shoeboxed has given me some new found freedom from all of the aforementioned work that I despise so much.

At an affordable monthly rate, you are sent a handful of paid-for return Shoeboxed envelopes that you can fill with receipts, business cards, and other paperwork that needs to be organized and/or digitized, that you then send back to their headquarters to allow them to do all of the magic for you.

In actuality, this relationship is a dream come true. Now I can spend more time running my businesses and being creative, and less time doing all of the tasks that I hate.

My Video Review of Square

Logan Lenz — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 16:56:28 +0000

I finally received my Square device that allows me to accept credit cards to my iPhone. See my video review below.

This is what you receive via email when you ACCEPT a payment.

And this is the email that the CUSTOMER receives after his/her purchase.

An iPhone App That Helps People

Logan Lenz — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:41:59 +0000

I would like to see us do more simple things like this with technology, innovation, and the platforms we currently operate on.

More people need to stop making silly games and doing something that benefits others like this application does.

Better yet, what if you built a video game that helped people? Brilliant. To ensure a good game application, you should get a game design degree before taking on such a task.
