Morning everybody and welcome to the first video of 2019 now, I don’t know about you. But every time of year rolls around there’s this psychological kind of you click that really set me back a bit ironically enough because there is so many great ideas bubbling up in my head and it can be kind of hard to sort them all out.

I automatically take an idea and just sort of Zoom it all the way to the potential Finish Line which can be really great an advantageous. I can see where I want to start to March towards but then actually putting one foot in front of the other is always a challenge.

In fact, that’s one of the reasons why I started mornings with Mark was the kind of get my head on straight each day. We would give me the ability to talk to you. I’m to engage with the audience but also to talk about a particular topic that I may want to develop into something else.

Maybe a more polished video maybe a blogpost maybe a talk. Maybe it was a stepping stone for a larger concept. So you don’t disturb each year. I’ve got this challenge now the direct corollary here is obviously you’re probably facing challenges like this as well. There’s a real push and a real pressure around the new year to set resolution to set new goals to try to start sweeping changes, but I see this all the time with privacy and security teams with an organization specifically where they try to go.

Okay, we’re going to roll out something to everybody and it’s going to go like that. That’s not the reality. You need to look at that big goal and say yes, we want to get something like two-factor authentication. So that’s where you login with username password as well as maybe a push code to your mobile device or two hardware token time to add that additional layer security and that’s a great thing multi-factor authentication in to roll out.

Your entire organization is a wonderful thing, but you can’t start their you can’t say I want to start at 100% you got to take going to go groups Eagle. Maybe we’ll take our high-profile. I more high value of assets and we’re going to put make sure the people use multi-factor authentication when they’re logging in there.

So you may go and say we’re going to She sweet we’re going at the board. We’re going to get all the people who are in charge of our core infrastructure. See you start to make you know, you have a big View and you make these little steps towards it.

So that’s a process. I’m in the middle of right now. So you made a notice has a bit of a different look at switched up the lens. I switched up actually the entire camera shooting on an M50 right now from Canada supposed to my normal Panasonic Lumix. I’m trying something different.

I got a few ideas around where I want to go with content this year because I looked at all my data from 2018 and then all the great engagement all the great conversations I had with you folks and I’m trying to figure out what it would make sense to sort of partition off into its own server sub-brand or sub show at what do I keep going with mornings with Mark here? What do I do online? What do I do for my speaking engagements this year? So right now everything sort of up in the air and for me personally, I always find that extremely stressful.

It’s very easy for me to serve basically lose myself trying to figure out all this amazing stuff. That’s Possible. So now I need you to give take my own advice and actually map out. Okay where I want to be at the end of 2019 and what are the baby steps to get there? So what will mornings with Mark turn into right now my gut feeling is that mornings with Mark will be a little less often.

So instead of four to five times a week. No, maybe be 2 to 3 because there’s a set of content that I want to roll off into its own podcast and video series and that’s essentially stuff that I talk about to a broader audience to more General audience is very similar to the radio call him I do for CBC Ottawa morning here in Ottawa.

Obviously where I talked about General Technologies in the impact. It has On You by the user and on us in our community. So I think that kind of content instead of being Blended in with mornings with Mark. I think that would be great on its own playlist here on YouTube and on its own podcast and because that lets blue more broad audience am consumed that content and not get confused by some of the things I talk about here when I’m talking about like What are rolling out security strategies in your organization so that allow me to take mornings with Mark and be a little more specific targeted towards people are building within the organization security folks with in their organizations having more in the technology back inside.

So still some ideas and bouncing around the courses 2019. We’re already into the second week of it. And I’m so I’m on top of that sort of all there so many options and my potential at answer my own expectations. I’m also under my own pressure for timelines, which is kind of ridiculous.

This is all self-imposed, but I’m sure a lot of you are feeling as well. So that’s why I wanted to talk about it on the show today. And what do you think what your plans for 2019 arm shirt with me. I’ll share that with the audience. If you’ve got something that you want to promote or push around if you’re trying a new idea.

I’m obviously not a personal side only we’re not looking for a for ads or anything here. I just feel like if you’re doing a vlog like this if you’re I’m making a new post on social media share it with me. I’ll share that with everybody else cuz we can learn from each other and see what’s interesting in what pays off the meanwhile let me know what you think about where I’m potentially heading with me.

The park where I’m looking off for that other Vlog series that were video series and podcast. I may need anything else that everything’s up here for me right now, which is wonderful and terrifying. I hope you’re set up for a fantastic day. As always. Let’s continue this discussion online Adam at Mark NCAA on most social media networks.

For those of you in the blogs in the comments down below and as always by email me at Mark and. See I do read everything that is sent my way. Even if it takes me a while sometimes to reply that is a benefit of having such a fantastic and an interactive audience, but I know it’s a little Challenge on your side when you write something you want to see a comment back at him or reply back.

I will get to them. I promise I have a fantastic day and we’ll see you on the show next time. Morning everybody and welcome to the first video of 2019 now, I don’t know about you.
