What's your area of expertise?

[GuestUser8117]

Tell us what is your area in which you are an expert or knowledgable. I suggest this thread becomes a reference where people can come here and see who is good at something than ask the person via pm for a particular question and get advice from him/her. It can be anything. Business or interests/hobbies. As for me I'm not really an expert at something, more of a jack of all trade.

Knowledgable: language translation (french and english and a little italian),learning and playing guitar, mafia history, 3d Animation
Weak points: networking
Interests/hobbies: Pool/billard, hiking, violin, wine, coffee, psychology, consciousness, business, real estate, golf, girls, personal development

Making money. A true entrepreneur doesn't need an area of expertise, he can adjust to the trends/needs.

Skepticism, Paranormal Research.

Two hobbies that seem to completely contradict each other! (Although I see how being a skeptic can rule out some factors in paranormal occurrences, until you're left with something that can only be explained as paranormal!)

 

[AndrewNC]

Strongest area - Info product development

Haha, this exactly.

I'm not as skeptic as in a naysayer.... I WANT to believe that there's paranormal shiz going on around us so I'm open to the possibility... but I know all the common fallacies, probabilities of coincidence, psychological tricks and cons.... so I know what to legit get excited about and what to truely believe.

So far I've been disappointed, but I keep my ear to the ground because I'm hopeful for new stuff.

As a video guy, have you gone out "ghost hunting" or whatever? Looking for orbs and all that fun stuff through a camera? I try to remain skeptical with most things (this coming front the guy who believes with all his might that he's going to be a multi-friggen-millionaire) but my parents recently took a small trip with family to Gettysburg and filmed themselves at dinner in what is apparently one of the most haunted restaurant/hotels down there (good marketing whether or not it's actually true if you ask me).. The footage they showed me was ridiculous - Orbs EVERYWHERE... that or the restaurant was one of the dustiest places on earth.

I really like the energy of this thread and I don't want to talk about this here and derail it. I answered this in a more related thread:

I'm personally focused on social media management and branding while LeadMaster really sucks at Lead Management, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Email Marketing, Marketing Automation and more spam.
