Hi,
I'm super excited to finally hang out with all you cool people!
I'm a corporate digital marketer & blogger in the investment sphere. While I blog on the behalf of others, I've never had the time, patience or incentive to have my own personal blog or social community page....so this is a brave new step for me in many ways.
To be honest, I kind of wrote off Steemit once or twice over the last year but I think it's gotten to the point where I have got to try it before I can knock it.
I expect this to be a big learning curve. I know it will challenge my assumptions about what I know. It will force me to think of new strategies to create social media success. And I am excited about all of it!

Although I'm not very techy in the sense I can't code or comprehend hardware (my geek fiance will second this), I do love the new ideas and opportunities that technology advancements create.
I will be following blockchain developments closely and attempting to extrapolate what the world may look like tomorrow...not based on investment hype, but based on fundamentals of human behaviour and the environment around us.
I feel much of the blockchain and crypto news is about where prices, ICO's and mining difficulties are heading...but very little is about the actual applications, hurdles and opportunities that lie ahead.

I am interested in sustainability and I believe that marketers (that includes online thought leaders) have a super power at their hands. If you can change a person's beliefs and desires, you can change the world. I love this platform for what it represents, the ability to gain influence without a corporate agenda backing you. If a content creator is like a Jedi, then Steem Power is like the good side of the force.
A little bit more about me.
I'm from Australia. I have two cockatiels Mullah and Biggie. I actually studied Agriculture at University, but it turned out I am a much better digital marketer than livestock or grain peddler. However, I still love homesteading and gardening. My political views are a bit bi-polar but I guess I believe in people's better nature and the right to self determination. If you wan't to pigeon hole I guess put me in liberal, both economically and socially.
