Hashtag Re-Hash and Our Thoughts on the Apple Announcements

Date: September 20, 2017 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week on the show, Eric and Jeff "re-hash" some of our hashtag conversations based on viewer comments, some of who still are trying to get their head around the concept of just what the heck they are, what they are good for, and how to use them. We agree the hashtag (#) can a bit of a confusing animal, so happy to try and help clear things up.We then will change gears and

We'll then change gears and kick off a discussion about the recent announcements from the world of Apple. They introduced a couple of new phones, launched facial recognition for security (replacing the fingerprint reader), announced a new Apple watch that can operate as a stand-alone phone, and much more! Finally, if there's time, we'll chat a bit about the upcoming Next Money Chicago 2017 event and what Eric expects to come away with from the conference.

Video Streaming, Apple WWDC 2017, and Other Interesting

Date: Wednesday, June 7, 2017 @ 1 pm

This week on the show, Eric and Jeff start off talking about Apple's WWDC 2017 event, similar to Google's I/O and Facebook's F8. We discuss some of the new announcements that were made related to the Apple operating systems (phone and desktop/laptop), the Apple Watch platform, AR developer tools for augmented reality, Apple TV (now supporting Amazon Video), and much more. It was this last item, streaming media/video, where we got a bit off topic and Jeff "took us to school" with all the great information he has regarding other streaming devices. While Apple TV started our discussion, we covered Roku, Chromecast, Amazon Fire (and Fire Stick), Hulu, Playstation Vue, and a whole lot more.

Eric and Jeff "Catch Up" This Week and Share What's New

Date: Wednesday, March 23, 2016 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week Eric and Jeff finally get some "alone time" and catch up on the crazy few months of travel, conference presentations and interesting conversations from the road. If you've been a Free Webinar Wednesdays "frequent flyer" you know some of our best shows are when the two of us chat over what's new and on our minds... because you just never know where the conversation will go.

You'll likely hear some conversation about Apple's recent product announcements, some updates at Google (both related to Android and their search algorithm), why it's important for you to be thinking about "ADA Compliance" when it comes to your website (and mobile app) and so much more.

Additionally, with both Eric and Jeff spending a considerable amount of time "on the road" presenting at conferences around the country, we'll also take some time to fill you in on what we've been talking about. While most of these sessions have been focused on the banking industry, the "big picture" lessons are pretty universal across any industry vertical.

Some Changes at Google (like Google+, Photos and Hangouts) You Should Know About

Date: December 9, 2015 @ 1 pm Eastern

While to many this has been a long time coming, Google has been making some changes to their social network, Google+, and has removed a couple of the key elements that now are "living on their own. This week we talk a bit about Google Photos, Hangouts and some of the changes that make these pretty darn awesome services, and what that means to the Google+ network.

We also will spend a bit of time talking about some of the "un-bundling" of services in the cellular phone network and how Google's Project Fi is saving customers money by leveraging WiFi connectivity to make phone calls. If you're a user and don't happen to be on a wireless network for data, not to worry, the service also uses Sprint and T-Mobile cellular connectivity and will easily (and transparently) switch an active call from WiFi to the best signal of the two carriers. This allows you to start a call at home or the office on WiFi, but keep the call going if you have to leave and hop in the car.

Eric and Jeff Share Their Christmas Lists... With You and Santa

Date: December 2, 2015 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week Eric and Jeff spend some time sharing what's on their list for St. Nick. With any luck, they'll both be finding some of the discussed items under the tree on Christmas Day, but that will all depend on whether they have been naughty or nice! Not surprisingly, there are some technology gadgets, work productivity things (yes, "work" stuff made the list) and a few other surprises that you'll want to check out. 

If you're looking for some ideas for your list, or maybe gift-giving ideas for someone that always seems to be hard to buy for, then this show might just help. We look forward to seeing you for the show!

Is Apple Gunning for Google?

Date: June 24, 2015 @ 1 pm Eastern

With recent announcements by Apple, it's looking like they have Google in their crosshairs and are putting plans in place to take on the world's #1 search giant, Google. Spotlight search, built into the operating system, already is a quick and easy way to search your Mac for files, but did you know that it's now extending its reach to the web?

With personal assistants growing in popularity (such as Siri, Google Now and even Microsoft's Cortana), the more your device knows about you, the more helpful the suggestions and results you'll get. While Google has always been clear about using your information from Gmail, calendar and search history to ensure Google Now is as personalized as possible, Apple has never been one to access your personal information. However, is that about to change... and if so, is that better for users or taking us down the slippery slope of creating privacy concerns.

This week we'll have our "Mac buddy" Gregory McPherson joining Eric and Jeff to discuss the issue and take your questions. Plus, there's a good chance Greg will also bring along some ideas for "cool gadgets" in addition to his thoughts on the evolution of the Apple brand.

Annual Holiday Gadget and Gizmos Wishlist Show

Date: December 17, 2014 @ 1 pm Eastern

This Christmas when Santa is checking things over, are you going to be on his "naughty" or "nice" list? We hope you've been nice, so for all of you good boys and girls out there, this week you're in for a treat. No, it's not a plate of cookies (we'll save those for St. Nick) - but it is our annual "Gadgets and Gizmos" show, highlighting some of the thing that are on our wishlist for Santa's bag.

For our show this week Eric and Jeff will be joined by our good friend (and the king of gadgets and gizmos) Gregory McPherson. The three of us will be sharing some of the items that made it on our wish-list this Christmas season and would love to hear what's on your list as well! Like most other shows we have when Greg is our guest, you're going to get a ton of great ideas for some cool tech that you just can't live without (and likely will end up spending some money on some new "gotta have" thing that you never heard of before).

So if you're looking to add some last minute "cool tech" things to your list (or maybe how to spend that Best Buy gift card you get from Aunt Mary), you'll want to be sure to join us for the show. This will also be the final show of the year, so once it's over, we'll be seeing you all again in 2015!

Eric and Jeff Continue From Last Week...

Date: September 10, 2014 @ 1 pm Eastern

Last week we had a great conversation and only got through a fraction of what we had intended to cover. So, we're going to "pick up where we left off" and continue the conversation. Since the show Apple made a little announcement with the new iPhone and Watch (so that may come up), we'll discuss some of the changes going on at the online storage sites (like Dropbox, Google Drive and others) and how they are slashing prices, plus may get to some of the reporting/influence sites (like SumAll, Klout and Kred). 

So join us for this week's show to catch up and we'll look forward to continuing our conversation!

Tech Talk and Gadget Chat With Our Good Friend Gregory McPherson

Date: July 30, 2014 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week on FWW Eric and Jeff are excited to welcome back one of our crowd-favorite guests, Gregory McPherson. Those of you who have heard any of our prior sessions - and yes, we said sessions since he's been on the show multiple times - know that Greg is one guy that has his finger on the pulse of what's cool and upcoming when it comes to tech tools, apps, gadgets, all things Apple and the like.

We'll see if Eric or Jeff get through the show without committing to buy something new, as an appearance by Greg typically involves getting out the checkbook or adding at least one or two things to our "wish list." This week we'll get caught up on some of the new (and likely coming) things from Apple, Eric will try and work in some Google/Android updates (as he's the lone voice for that OS) and we're certain the conversation will end up in all sorts of cool (and maybe unlikely) places by the time we reach the 60 minute mark.

We're looking forward to the webinar and hope you are too!
