New Friends and Collaborations
This year brought with it the most wonderful opportunities for collaboration.
My friend Esther and I dove into co-hosting several podcast episodes on women, life and work.

Pivot is The Startup Way
With the collaboration between Julia and myself as a deadline for a test run, I returned to development on TheFaceofAI and soon thereafter renamed my app to the AICharmLab. The waitlist for beta testers is open and more information will be shared with the beta group soon.

AI Becomes More Helpful

With more to come next year, curation remains the name of the game as far as providing value to the consumer.
Follow me on Instagram for the “art part”
I realize I don’t share much of my personal art in my weekly articles. For those of you who like a little visual with your ideas and insights, hop on the social train with me and follow me on Instagram where the little experiments I make are shared at least once per week.
YouTube Milestone
TheTechMargin hit the 100k milestone back in February of this year. With YouTube as a mainstay of my content pipeline, I would be remiss to neglect this exciting moment. One reality check for those of you who would like to do the same, think of growing any channel as one of your pillars in your multi-pronged approach to marketing. YouTube is a beast and despite the fact that less than 0.6% of channels have over 100k subscribers, less than 0.3% of YouTubers earn $5,000 or more per month.

Tis the Season for Shopping
Of course, I cannot leave this year in review without mention of the Artist Shop at TheTechMargin. Creating merchandise from artwork is not only a revenue generator for artists but also an opportunity to work with up and coming designers.
