Aanikh Kler is the COO and co-founder of Trufan, an audience powered data and analytics company. Trufan is building the future of the internet with their new product Surf. Surf is an innovative product that pays you to surf on the internet in exchange for your data which will be anonymized and cohorted so it can’t be traced back to you.The problem with big tech and data is that they make tons of money off of it (over $500 billion in 2020 alone) and consumers see none of that money… Surf is trying to change that because you will essentially get paid to use the internet. A lot of people don’t even know how your data is used by tech companies or how to protect their data and Surf is not only going to anonymize the data but will also allow consumers to remove their data from the database whenever they choose.The conversation around consumer data ownership is becoming more prevalent and Surf aims to be at the leading edge of the changes in the industry. Will it be the next big startup? Only time will tell. I personally believe in the product and even joined the team full time to help them on their mission to democratize social data.You can check out Surf here: www.joinsurf.comWHAT WE TALKED ABOUT2:53 - Growing up in Vancouver surrounded by family14:02 - NFTs25:48 - Developing his first app at 14, “UndrTheRadr”40:03 - Trufan’s new product Surf and how it could revolutionize the internet60:35 - Acquiring two separate companies in under two years1:12:39 - How Trufan adapted when COVID hitFOLLOW AANIKHInstagram - @Aanikh -  https://www.instagram.com/aanikh/Twitter - @AanikhKler - https://twitter.com/aanikhkler?lang=enFOLLOW JACOBhttps://www.jacobkelly.ca/YouTube - Jacob KellyInstagram - @TheJacobKellyFOLLOW MY SOCIAL LIFEhttps://www.jacobkelly.ca/mysociallifeFOLLOW TRUFANhttps://www.trufan.ioInstagram - @Trufan.ioMUSICSong: Tough Love - Joakim Karudhttps://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudhttps://www.facebook.com/joakimkarudmusichttps://www.youtube.com/user/JoakimKarudMusic from SoundcloudMusic provided by RFM:https://youtu.be/jaoStyAQN4o

After recording 100 Episodes Later and reflecting on the journey of My Social Life so far, I kept thinking of stories I wish I'd told on the podcast or guests I can't believe I never mentioned. Then I had this crazy idea to do a takeaways but instead of a regular takeaways, go through all 100 guests and tell a story for each one as a way of saying thank you. So that's what I did.This is officially the longest upload in My Social Life history and it took me four sittings to get done but I did it! So I present to you, Takeaways: 100 Episodes Later.This was a very fun and special podcast for me to record and I hope you enjoy it.FOLLOW JACOBhttps://www.jacobkelly.ca/Twitter - @TheJacobKellyLinkedIn - Jacob KellyInstagram - @TheJacobKellyTikTok - @TheJacobKellyYouTube - Jacob KellyFacebook - Jacob KellyFOLLOW MY SOCIAL LIFEhttps://www.jacobkelly.ca/mysociallifeYouTube - My Social Life Instagram - @MySocialLifePodcasthttps://mysociallifepodcast.com

With My Social Life running for over a year now I figured it was about time to update the trailer. i've recorded 50 interviews, 40 takeaways and multiple bonus episodes along the way and a lot has changed from when I first recorded the podcast's trailer. So here is what you can expect from My Social Life for the rest of 2019 and beyond!

We’re doing things a little bit differently this week! In celebration of releasing my 50th interview last week, I decided to bring on my good friend Hayden Cashion (who you may recognize as the first guest of the podcast) to come and interview me! This was really fun for me to do and a really good way to reflect on everything I’ve done and all the amazing people I’ve met over the last 50 episodes. Hayden and I cover a lot in this episode from how I found my interview style and voice (including where my intro came from), my process when it comes to research and finding guests, stories from along the way, why I changed the theme of the podcast from tactical tips to stories, one of my favourites stories that a guest said and so much more! I also want to thank Hayden for being willing to take the time out of his day to do this (full transparency, this was his idea). I also have to give him credit for nailing the intro and outro. We’ll be back next week with episode 51 but if you enjoyed this special episode please consider leaving a rating and review. The more positive ratings and reviews the more it helps new people find the podcast and it really helps to grow the community we’re developing here.

Darren Pang is a retired NHL goaltender for the Chicago Blackhawks, Memorial Cup Champion with the Ottawa 67’s and is now a renowned hockey broadcaster and analyst, currently with the St. Louis Blues and Fox Sports Midwest.

As I currently work for the Ottawa 67’s in a digital coordinator role, I was selfish with my questions and a large portion of this episode revolves around Darren’s time as a player and his transition to broadcaster. We do touch briefly on social near the end of the interview but this is mainly stories of Darren’s time as a professional athlete. In our conversation we chat his time with the 67’s, the grind of the minors (including a bar fight he and his teammates got into in Saginaw), his time in the NHL, having to retire due to injuries and more.

In today's Takeaways episode I tell you the story of how Corey and I got connected and how he was supposed to be the fourth episode but ended up being the 19th. I'll also talk about some of the key things I'm taking away from my conversation with him. Be sure to follow Corey's businesses: Flapjacks, Pudgy Boys, and Trusty Wagon and if you would like to follow me you can find me at @TheJacobKelly. Please leave a rating and review it helps more people find the show.

Although not a big fan of the word entrepreneur for it’s overuse in today’s society, Corey Sauve is without question a serial entrepreneur. Founding, co-founding and running multiple successful business including Flapjack’s Canadian Diner, Pudgy Boys, Trusty Wagon, and more - Corey should be considered without a doubt one of Ottawa’s 30 Under 30. In our conversation today Corey and I chat the humble beginnings of Flapjack’s that Corey and his business partner Max started in their early 20s right after university, what it takes to run a successful business, why Corey feels the need to continue opening businesses (with his most recent being Flapjack’s in fall of 2018), and his big plans for the future. Of course we also talk about social media - Corey runs all social media channels for all three of his current businesses with his most successful being Flapjack’s with over 16,000 followers. But when I say Corey runs all three, I mean every single post on all platforms, every day, 365 days a year are made by him. With Flapjack’s alone that is over 3,400 posts! The cool thing with his social media strategy is 99% of all content is fan content so we’ll discuss why he does that and how he decides what content to use. This episode provided a really unique opportunity for me as Corey and I recorded this live in his brand new restaurant, Pudgy Boys. With that in mind there is quite a bit of background noise as the restaurant was open. However, this episode is definitely still worth a listen, Corey drops of ton of knowledge and insight in this one and I really think you’re going to like it.

Eric is the creator of Humans of Ottawa. A page very similar to Humans of New York. Humans of Ottawa started as a assignment and has turned into an Instagram with over 10,500 followers. This didn't happen by accident, there was a previous Humans of Ottawa page that didn't takeoff the same way Eric's did. In this episode he'll explain how he treats each story with the utmost integrity and respect and wants to allow people to tell the story they want to tell. We'll also discuss what it's like going up to strangers on the streak and having deep and emotional conversations with them. We also look at the tactical side as to how he grew the page. Eric get's really into a tactic he did with hashtags where he would rank on smaller hashtags in order to be featured by bigger hashtags.

Alt Photography is a contemporary wedding photography company comprised of Max Vidricaire and Brendan Wu. They have also grown the companies Instagram account to over 10.8 thousand Instagram followers. However, an interesting strategy they employed (up until very recently) was to not post pictures of weddings on their account. This may seem like an odd strategy but it worked for them as they have grown their account and landed clients because of it. In this episode we'll get into how they grow their account, how they land clients for their business, collaborating with companies like Google and Spotify and so much more. And to let you in on a little secret, Max and Brendan have invited me to be a guest on their podcast, The Creative Hustle so you should definitely listen to it to get to know the guys before I jump on their show. This is the longest episode yet and I really hope you enjoy it.

Andrew Szeto, @SzetoSzeto on Instagram lives a very action packed life. A skateboarder, photographer, videographer, woodworker, and adventurer, Szeto documents all of his adventures on his Instagram and his YouTube channel. Instagram is definitely his most prominent platform as he has over 21,900 followers. In our near two hour conversation Szeto and I talk about a ton! I ask him about some of the adventures he's been on, including swimming nearly 10 feet from whales, diving into an underwater plane, riding motorcycles across Vietnam, crashing his bike and being held in a prison in the middle of nowhere Vietnam and being interrogated for hours. We also chat about his company Maru the Circle Brand where he up-cycles broken skateboards and turns them into amazing canoe paddles. He's also up-cycled skateboards and turned them into baseball bats, levitating plant holders, and more! And of course with this being My Social Life, we talk a lot about Szeto's social media. He grew a lot in the early days by going out and trying to post epic travel pictures and get featured by big changes. Recently though, he's pivoted his mindset to documenting and and creating things that will really pop for him as opposed to trying to make content for other people. We also chat about YouTube and how over the last couple of year's Szeto has began doing more video work and telling more stories that way. I am very excited for you to hear the fifth episode of My Social Life. If you like the episode, be sure to leave it a rating and a review.

Will Carey is a portrait photographer who currently has 11.000 Instagram followers and he grew his community in under two years of posting to Instagram. On top of that, during the summer his full time job is photo editor and secondary shooter for Union Eleven Photographers, a wedding photography company in Ottawa and during the winter Will is a full time student. In this conversation Will and I talk about a lot. Obviously we talk about how he grew his Instagram to over 10,000 people in under two years and then how he went from 10,000 to 11,000 in only 36 hours! We discuss how he's done collaborations with Joey Kidney (670,000+ YouTube subscribers), and how he get Brandon Woelfel to follow to him (2.3 million Instagram followers). On top of having over 11,000 followers, he has an extremely high engagement rate, more than four times the average. This can be enticing to brands and Will just recently worked with a brand (Lyft) for the very first time only recently. We talk about how he turned down the initial ask because it wasn't the type of content he puts out and that his audience is used to but how he offered an alternative that the company went for. This conversation naturally has quite a few conversations about photography, including tips and gear for beginners and whether or not you should work for free. However, even if you aren't a photographer there's a lot of good things in this conversation that anyone trying to grow on social media should be doing. Be sure to leave us a rating and review, it helps us get discovered by new people. We recently surpassed 100 downloads, a modest amount but the first milestone en route to many more!

Josh Reyes is an internationally ranked powerlifter who at point in time was ranked top 10 in the world for his weight division. On top of being a successful powerlifter Josh is also a successful entrepreneur. He co-founded (along with his girlfriend Mallory) the company LVD Fitness, a powerlifting lifestyle and apparel company (although they are in the early stages of repositioning the company, which we'll get in to). In a few short years LVD has established itself as a recognizable brand in the powerlifting community and has some of the top athletes in the sport as brand representatives. Josh and I get into the early days of LVD, how the company started as a class project and how they ordered 100 shirts with the goal to be to sell all of them or move on to the next company. We talk about how he and Mallory spent hours on social media engaging with people and building a community. To that effect we discuss how important building a community was and is to LVD's success. With LVD Fitness becoming so successful we look at what is next for Josh. He has no plans of moving on from LVD but he does have plans to introduce new projects and business into his life and why he plans to add more to his plate as opposed to relax and enjoy the successes he is experiencing with his first company. This is a great conversation and I really enjoyed it. There's a lot of great insight for anybody looking to start their own company and how to grow both your brand's social media and your personal. Oh did i mention that Josh himself has over 14,000 followers on Instagram! I really hope you like this episode of My Social Life.

Thank you for listening to the first ever full episode of My $ocial Life. My guest today is Hayden Cashion. Hayden is a former SoundCloud rapper who began making music in his senior year of high school. We get into producing content as an artist, performing live (including a crazy story where he freestyled for Logic), and the work it takes to make it as an artist. As an artist Hayden grew his Instagram to over 10,000 followers but he has since put down the mic to become a digital marketer, and a good one at that. Hayden and I talk about how he's grown his Instagram, a great way to get bulk content for your page, and how he uses Instagram to find clients for freelance work (one of the many things he has on the go). In addition to his success on Instagram we discuss what Hayden thinks is a big opportunity in the social media landscape that you should be taking advantage of.
