On September 1, 2021,  E&amp;P reported that The Chief-Leader, the 100+-year-old, family-owned NYC weekly, whose nearly 30,000 subscribers are almost entirely New York City municipal workers, was sold to Ben August. August has no roots in journalism or media, having sold a lucrative human resource services company he built. And since then, devoting himself to his Napa Valley vineyard and a nonprofit group that investigates who really wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare. But his passion for supporting the “worker” compelled him to enter our industry to steward The Chief, whose masthead proclaims it “A Voice for Workers,” bulleting: “Good Pay, Safety, Opportunity and Equity” as the publications’ key missions to its readers. Now with a new editorial team, design and website, August said his mission is to expand this century-old brand (whose name stems from its 1897 founding as the independent newspaper for NYC firefighters) to be the voice of workers beyond the borders of New York City. In this 132nd episode of E&amp;P Reports, Ben August, the new owner and publisher of The Chief, New York City’s weekly newspaper for municipal workers, explains why he is spending less time on his Napa Vineyard and more time devoted to transforming a more than 100-year-old newspaper into a modernized voice for workers everywhere. Also on this episode is a well-known industry consultant and founder of Creative Circle Media Solutions, Bill Ostendorf, who explains the transformation process of the paper's print design and website and plans for its expansion over the months to come.

Episode 28: Spiders Don't Wipe ft. Ben August

Ben August and Jamie Baker run a software company in Cairns called MASSBLOCK and they're currently developing tools and apps to help people manage their cryptocurrency investments. I personally knew nothing about cryptocurrencies and was totally unaware how big the crypto world was and how big it's going to become, and the ramifications it will have on our future lives.  GOOD NEWS: After talking with Ben and Janes I feel I'm now a lot wiser about the crypto world and you will be as well after listening to this podcast episode.  Today we talk about: * Different types of Cryptocurrencies and why Bitcoin is the most famous.  * Blockchains, Digital Wallets and underlying tech * Why cryptocurrencies are still in its infancy * Charlatans in the industry - at present, it is like the wild wild west.  * If you're thinking of investing in cryptocurrencies now, or in the future, do your research and don't rush in.  Ben &amp; Jamie's website: https://massblock.io/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/massblock.io/ Nuggets News: https://www.facebook.com/nuggetsnews/ Please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com if you have any questions about this episode.  It's No Secret Business Conference  On the 17th and 18th of August 2018.
