Wait, What’s a Mini-Podcast?

15 minutes (or so). That’s all we need. We’ve created a new podcast style that is quick, easy, and full of great stuff. You can listen on your way to work and still have time for the morning news. You can listen after dinner and still have time for a mini Netflix binge or a game of catch in the backyard. This is built for busy people like you — and it is full of value…

During our “Thought Starter” podcasts, we’ll dive into all kinds of different ways you can grow your print business. We’ll bring up a topic, share a few examples, and leave you with some questions to ask yourself and a game plan for execution. We won’t have all the answers, but we’ll definitely get the creative juices flowing for you.

Best of all, these things can be implemented quickly to move the needle — they won’t be elaborate processes that take ages to execute. Just quick wins.

Episode #1 – The Print Hackathon

This week we start by digging into a process that is typically reserved for software development “” the “hackathon.”A hackathon is a way to define a specific time for your teams to work on something outside their normal workload, to try and innovate a solution to a problem.What if we did something similar in the print industry? We’d probably see some cool innovations and definitely see more engagement with our teams.

Take a look at some of the things your team might be able to come up with if given a little space to innovate and create:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Listen to JP and Matt kick around a few ideas to get you started on your first #printhackathon.

This whole project is a great way to grow as a community and share things we learn. Be sure to use the hashtag in your social posts (#printhackathon) and show us what you innovated.

Best of luck, and we’ll see you soon for the next episode of InkSoft Thought Starter. If you have ideas for topics, success stories, or questions, drop us a note at hello@inksoft.com
