Overcome the stigma of self-marketing.

When a lot of people are calling you crazy: you're either crazy, or you're onto something.

We will ultimately live in a perpetual data-driven talent edition. Everything you create will be measured and tracked by others through comments, share, and likes. Your work will come up on the radar of potential employers and clients, and the data will tell them if you are worth talking to or hiring.
