Fight On! w/Matt Leinart ...paying it forward....


(Matt Leinart, Stylized Portrait by Tiner).

I first met Matt Leinart during our senior years of college. He was pursuing the illustrious "Three-Pete" (three consecutive NCAA football championships) and I was trying to stay warm on the East Coast finishing my undergraduate studies at Brown University.

In Fall of 2005, after USC defeated Stanford, I met Leinart, Bush, Carroll, Kalil, White, and all of the other USC starting players in the locker room. I really enjoyed the experience and am grateful for my friend Ben, a student team manager that year, to arrange it. This is the spirit of 'SC and one of the reasons why I'm proud to be a Trojan (...constantly giving back and encouraging others to pay it forward).

It's funny how much time two and a half years can make. I'm now enjoying my time on Matt's old stomping grounds ...and he is a quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. I wonder where we will be in two years? ...I don't know, but I'm enjoying the ride and I'm sure Leinart is as well. :)

Don't be afraid, if you are not "qualified."

You'll never know when you're big break will happen.  The secret is to be ready at all times. Last weekend, Matt Williams, a Texas Tech sophomore, won a month of free rent by kicking a 30-yard field goal during a contest at his school's football game. Although Texas Tech is currently ranked #8 in the country, the team has missed six extra point attempts and half of its field goal attempts. Following the contest, Mike Leach, Texas Tech's football coach, approached Williams and asked him to be the team's extra point kicker. Tomorrow, Williams receives his big break and will kick extra points against #19 Kansas. If you have a talent, don't be afraid to share it.  You'll never know who is watching and where it will take you.

Google Analytics 4

As we transition into 2023, one of the biggest digital opportunities marketers have is to confirm Google Analytics 4 (G4) is installed and tracking on all digital entities. 🖥️ 📈 G4 will replace Google's legacy Universal Analytics (UA) and focuses more on event-based actions compared to hit-based actions. G4 features a new dashboard with more customization and access to predictive analytics. 🔎 The migration from UA to G4 is expected to occur in July 2023, where UA will be discontinued. As proactive marketers, we can work to ensure our organizations are prepared. For more insights, view Google's overview here .
