EP266: Intimacy vs Volume in Business, When to Go Broad and When to Niche Down & More @ Live Meet up in Los Angeles (January 2020)

The New Wave Podcast: Daily Conversations On Web3.0, Business, Psychology, Psychedelics & More. A Show For People Seeking Spiritual, Psychological And Financial Sovereignty. Hosted By Best-Selling Author, Speaker and Entrepreneur Daniel DiPiazza.

One thing I hope is clear from all my content recently is that I'm taking a strong stance in favour of INTIMACY over VOLUME.

 

In the age of social media, we've been brainwashed to believe that more numbers, views, follows, fans and likes equate to more "success." This is wrong, both from a philosophical and practical perspective.

 

Everybody is shouting at the top of their lungs trying to be heard. "Influencers," entrepreneurs and personal brands are making more content than ever, hoping to be seen. And the platforms that host this material (Facebook, IG, YouTube, etc) are happy to let us create all day because they monetize our time in exchange for hundreds of billions in ad revenue collectively.

 

I'm not saying that you have to get off social media. I'm saying you need to recognize the game for what it is. And if you are a content creator or business owner, start taking control of your customer data. The fact that large platforms own all the data for the people you want to connect with is the reason why you'll always get the smallest piece of the pie.

 

How are you going to own the data? Use the public social media platforms to build private customer and communicate with them on platforms that cannot be watered down by algorithms and newsfeeds.

 

Text message and phone

Email (to an extent)

Direct mail

In person

 

This is my approach for 2020 and beyond. And to practice what I preach, I'm going to cities around the US to drop #Zadvice live.

 

At this meet up in LA, we spent 3 hrs (should have been longer!) going deep on business and life. We built real friendships and made more progress in a few hours than could be made in months of binging videos online. The relationships are what count!

 

IRL is where it's at.

Daniel DiPiazza hosts The New Wave Podcast, a space for exploring the ideas reshaping how we live and work. Each episode moves through interconnected themes like the practical realities of Web 3.0 and cryptocurrency, but the discussions don't stop at technology. They extend into the personal shifts required to navigate this new landscape, touching on psychology, spirituality, and the pursuit of personal sovereignty. You'll hear candid conversations that feel more like a dialogue among friends than a formal interview, offering unfiltered access to a range of thinkers and doers. The aim is to provide actionable perspectives that feel immediately relevant, whether you're building a business, seeking personal growth, or simply trying to understand the forces altering our world. This podcast operates on the belief that adapting to rapid change requires a blend of external knowledge and internal clarity. So if you're looking for a resource that connects the dots between market trends and mindset, where advice is grounded and the future feels approachable rather than intimidating, you've found it. The tide is indeed rising, and these conversations are designed to help you navigate the currents.
