I always prided myself on calling them by their first name and tried my best to show them how important they are. Like William James, the father of American psychology, said: “The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.” </p><p>However, I was facing a big problem: Over the years, my memory began to fade. When meeting with somebody I had only met a few months prior, I found it challenging to remember details about them. Therefore, my rapport with them was not as warm as I wished, and I felt like I didn't get the full potential of the discussion. </p><p>I remember precisely when I decided to take action against my faulty memory. It was in 2016 during a meet-and-greet in San Francisco. I was chatting with John for an hour when he suddenly whispered into my ear, "No offense taken, but my name is Paul." I was ashamed of myself, and I'm almost certain this mistake cost me a big business opportunity, as John — sorry, Paul — was the perfect prospect for my business. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Enter Moleskine</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I read that, over the course of his life, David Rockefeller (former Chase CEO) wrote about 200,000 notecards to document his interactions with world leaders. So, I decided to buy a Moleskine notebook dedicated to taking notes on people. I started to populate the pages with everything that came to my mind. One page per person. I would write contact details, names of their loved ones, jobs, hobbies, food preferences and even bullet points on what we discussed when we last met. </p><p>However, I was quickly confronted with the limitations of a paper notebook. The notes started to pile up, and I was running out of space on each page. For instance, the person I documented on the first page of the Moleskine was full, so I had to start another page near the end. I needed to write “see additional notes at the end of the notebook” — not ideal. The second problem was that I was not always carrying my "people’s notebook," so I wasn't always able to review my notes prior to meeting someone, especially when the encounter was random.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>So Long, Notebook; Welcome, Technology</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Naturally, my smartphone and computer have replaced my Moleskine. I was able to transfer and organize all my notes and easily retrieve them anytime, anywhere on my pocket device. It is essentially an extension of my brain now. It's easy to pull up and skim through previous interactions just before meeting someone; it's like magic. </p><p>What I also like a lot is the ability to keep track of the next steps. I put reminders in my calendar so that I never forget important dates and deadlines.</p><p>To me, that’s the beauty of technology. With proper usage, it supercharges our brain and allows us to focus on what’s most important: to extract the best of human interactions. Like Dale Carnegie explained, it’s not so difficult to win friends and influence people when you have the right system in place.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Documenting Your Interactions </b></p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve tried a lot of tools, from spreadsheets like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel to dedicated web apps like Monica or Folk, but so far, my preference goes to a personal relationship management workspace (PRM) like Notion or Airtable. These platforms are designed to be easy to customize, safe and secure.</p><p>Here are a few tips to help you better document your interactions with others and maintain your professional relationships:</p><p><br /></p><p>• <b>Take notes during or immediately after meetings</b>. If the former, be sure to ask the individual if they mind if you jot down a few things during your discussion.</p><p>• <b>Create a to-do list, and set reminders</b>. This way, you don't lose track of important dates and opportunities to reach out.</p><p>• <b>Pay close attention to little details</b>. Maybe it's something like, “I’ll have to leave in 15 minutes because tonight is my son's graduation” or “Next weekend, my husband and I will visit Yosemite.” This information can serve as the perfect ice-breaker the next time you meet.</p><p>• <b>Before each meeting, check your notes and social media.</b> LinkedIn and Twitter, in particular, are very valuable sources of information that can help you stay up to date with each of your professional relationships.</p><p>• <b>Follow up.</b> Be proactive and reach out. For example, there is nothing worse than making an intro between two people and then never receiving an update on how it went.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also recommend skimming your PRM once a week. By doing this, you avoid missing an opportunity to reach out to someone for little things (like an anniversary) or to ask about a specific project. In the long run, you’ll be amazed by all the opportunities this simple trick brings.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you meet someone and you are able to pick up the conversation as if you had never left each other, it proves that you are genuinely interested in the relationship. It shows seriousness and conscientiousness. And that creates a warm bond. Whether it is a business meeting or a casual chat, I guarantee your discussion will end well.</p>Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992282960155772546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986877312163998711.post-51689652629940141502020-02-01T17:37:00.001-08:002020-02-02T10:41:05.574-08:00I tested the Jet Suit and hovered like Iron Man!Jet packs were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_pack" target="_blank">invented in 1919</a> but really started to fly at the end of the fifties. They were very hard to control and there range was very limited as they were relying only on hydrogen peroxide-powered engines.<br />
<br />
With the new jet engines weighting about 5 pounds and producing 55 pounds of thrust, new generation of flying suits came around recently. One, created by a British gentleman named Richard Browning in 2016 really struck my attention because it was straight out from a Marvel movie.<br />
The first time I saw him fly, in a video, I was determined to meet the man and to try his machine.<br />
Being an adrenaline junky and a petrol head myself (I love to pilot planes, race cars, motorcycles and to skydive), I had to try the Jet Suit!<br />
<br />
My dream finally came true last December in Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
The jet suit is all 3D printed. It’s made of aluminium. 2 jet engines per arm and a bigger one in the back. Combined, they produce about 1,000 horsepower. Unlike the other jet packs, the Jet Suit is based on the principle of the tripod. You have 3 vectors of thrust, and you control the height with your arms.<br />
If I had to compare the feeling, I would say that it’s close to indoor skydiving in a wind tunnel. After one day of testing I could barely hover, but I really saw the potential and I can’t wait to try again!<br />
<br />
Here is the video:<br />

A big thanks to the Gravity team and to Richard. You are awesome 🤘!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Consider these facts: The </span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/data.html" href="https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/data.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> that in 2016, around 9% of U.S. children had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And according to one </span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.jaacap.org/article/S0890-8567(12)00538-2/abstract" href="https://www.jaacap.org/article/S0890-8567(12)00538-2/abstract" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">study</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> from 2012 on the economic impact of childhood and adult ADHD in the U.S., the "overall national annual incremental costs of ADHD ranged from $143 to $266 billion." A </span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://time.com/growing-up-with-adhd/" href="https://time.com/growing-up-with-adhd/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://time.com/growing-up-with-adhd/">Time</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> article also pointed out that between 2003 and 2007, there was a 60% rise in ADHD diagnoses in children from families living in poverty.</span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The American Academy of Pediatrics <a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/144/4/e20192528" href="https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/144/4/e20192528" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">guidelines</a> recommends treating ADHD with behavioral therapy first, before trying ADHD medication. ADHD medications work in <a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3666055/" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3666055/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">70%</a> of the cases, but they can cause a number of side effects, such as sleep problems and loss of appetite. Medication helps reduce ADHD symptoms, but it's not a cure; symptoms will resurface as soon as a child stops taking the medicine. On the other hand, behavior therapies teach and develop executive functioning skills that will continue to benefit them as they grow up, but they require a lot of work and dedication from the parents. To sum up, you typically have two options: to prescribe medication or seek expensive behavioral therapy.</span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I believe technology can help children with ADHD by simplifying the whole process and by leveraging data to provide evidence-based treatments. The technology could expand access to ADHD treatments, improve their efficiency and reduce the overall cost.</span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><fbs-ad ad-id="article-0-inread" aria-hidden="true" position="inread" progressive="" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></fbs-ad></span></div><div id="article-0-inread" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box;"></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My company created a smartwatch for children that helps them establish routines, so I've seen the potential impact technology can have firsthand. For example, imagine if a wearable device, equipped with several sensors to monitor one's physical and emotional state, could help a child with ADHD. The device could monitor their daily routine and incorporate observations from the child's support system (e.g., their parents, teachers, etc.), and that data could be analyzed by artificial intelligence to help make evidence-based treatment recommendations (with the approval and regular follow-up of a board-certified behavior analyst, of course). This is just one example of how I believe tech could tailor treatments for children remotely.</span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And from my perspective, it's not impossible. In 2019, the American Medical Association created three new current procedural terminology codes to encourage remote patient monitoring (codes 99453, 99454, 99457). I have no doubt that it’s a matter of months now for startups to start leveraging these new billing codes.</span></div>Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992282960155772546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986877312163998711.post-28313428300153517712018-08-29T15:40:00.000-07:002018-08-29T15:40:24.506-07:00Good Tech, Bad Tech And Its Impact On ChildrenAs a member of the Forbes San Francisco Business Council, I got the chance to write a guest post published in Forbes Magazine about the impact of technology on children. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbessanfranciscocouncil/2018/08/17/good-tech-bad-tech-and-its-impact-on-children/#78a04d42254a" target="_blank">You can read it here</a>.<br />

My first Kickstarter campaign was a total failure! It was in 2013. I invented the leaf clip. A revolutionary device that was supposed to replace your wallet. I raised $297! I was ashamed and buried the project. Never talked about it to anyone…<br />
<br />
3 years later, I couldn’t afford to miss my second Kickstarter campaign. And I didn’t! Today, I’m glad to share with you our recipe for success. (<a href="https://medium.com/@samhickmann/kickstarter-sandbox-from-0-to-777-777-in-45-days-80ad6ec54dcc" target="_blank">Read more on Medium</a>)<br />

Unfortunately, I can't afford to dedicate 100% of my time to my family. I need to work. I need to provide.<br />
<br />
Then I got this crazy idea: to work with my family, to help other families. A great feeling of joy and happiness started to fullfil me. I immediately projected myself working with my wife, my kids and all my good friends (who I call family too).<br />
<br />
The idea for JOY is born in the summer of 2015. JOY is now a new company (incorporated in Feb 2016) with a very lofty mission: <b>to help families to live in harmony, thanks to technology</b>, by reinventing the way parents share time with their children. No more stress, no more power struggles, only quality family time. This trend has even a name, we call it #FamilyTech.<br />
<br />
<h2>China.</h2>We got an idea for our first product. Very simple to use, not too expensive and that could help millions of families with children.<br />
The only problem was that we needed to go to China to build it, because it's a piece of hardware, and China is the best place to do it.<br />
We decided to apply to the first and largest hardware accelerator, HAX. We got selected.<br />
<br />
<h2>HAX.</h2>HAX is based in San Francisco and Shenzhen (north of Hong-Kong). The stage 1 of the program lasts four months and you need to physically be in China the whole time. It's a total immersion.<br />
There, in the heart of the silicon valley of hardware, you have everything you need to prototype and to manufacture. HAX helps by providing money, ressources, mentorship, partnerships.<br />
My partner and I had a very difficult decision to make back then: shall we abandon our family for four months?<br />
The answer was not easy but not taking this opportunity would have been a terrible mistake. So we went.<br />
HAX became family.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>"If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough"</i> - Mario Andretti</span></span></blockquote><br />
<h2>Strong.</h2>We're back. Stronger than ever. Nothing can stop us. We will help millions of families and we will make a living of it. Period.<br />

Since January 1st, I've travelled more than 100,000 kms (62,000 miles)! I don't know how many hours it represents being in a plane, but it's enough time to read a lot of books. This is the list. Hopefully sometime soon I will have the time to publish my reviews.<br />

<span class="s1"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV8QbrNHgfCY5GKUFTfFkiTX2DN8YJ80TaXLTqgB5vNQ08XC4zLLn4CgSeTByRbjRf4WXmoPl7o-oyo2m-bmZAlg_n1e82eTp2PEkxqX8e7vkC7zJJKUYZx48h-1cfcIAcfkIiGh76wnB4/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV8QbrNHgfCY5GKUFTfFkiTX2DN8YJ80TaXLTqgB5vNQ08XC4zLLn4CgSeTByRbjRf4WXmoPl7o-oyo2m-bmZAlg_n1e82eTp2PEkxqX8e7vkC7zJJKUYZx48h-1cfcIAcfkIiGh76wnB4/s640/Unknown.jpeg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Let’s start with a definition of Family Tech. To me, it’s “<i>connecting parents with their kids in meaningful ways via technology.</i>”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">In the US, there are <b>23M families averaging 2 children aged 3–11</b> <i>(source: childstats.gov and cia.gov)</i>. The parents are most likely from Gen X, birthdates ranging from the 1960s to the early 1980s.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I know this generation very well because I’m one of them. We are born with computers and video game consoles, we saw the digital transformation, the birth of high speed internet, the smartphones and electronic gadgets of all kinds.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><i>“Currently, I see three forces overlapping, creating a fantastic market window: technology force, economic force, social force. To me, it indicates that 2016 might be the year for Family Tech.”</i></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<h3>
<span class="s1">Technology force</span></h3>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Thanks to the miniaturization of the electronic parts, their low energy consumption and the fact that more than <b>2B people own a smartphone</b>, thousands of connected objects are flourishing: smart home systems, wearables, activity trackers to name a few.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Moreover, with prototyping tools more accessible than ever before, a lot of entrepreneurs jumped on the hardware trend. It’s not anymore needed to raise millions of dollars to build a products up to the <b>Design For Manufacturing</b>.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span class="s1">Economic force</span></h3>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Like their dimensions, the prices of the electronic components have dropped significantly these past years. For instance, a <a href="https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/ubx-m8030">GPS chip measuring only 2.99 x 3.21 x 0.59 mm</a> costs less than $5.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The result? Good products at affordable prices. <b>Technology is now mainstream.</b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span class="s1">Social force</span></h3>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Our generation is willing to trust technology with their kids.</b> There are still some doubters, indeed, but in majority we are convinced of all the benefits technology brings, from freedom to personal development.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span class="s1">Awesome products in the pipes</span></h3>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Until now, this market window didn’t benefited to the families. However, some awesome products are in the making (and we can thank crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter and Indigogo to facilitate the go-to-market of hundreds of new start-ups).</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><a href="http://ily.co/">ILY</a>, The Family Phone; <a href="http://mytorch.com/">Torch</a>, the smart wifi router for the families; <a href="http://www.heyjoy.io/#familyband">Family Band by Joy</a>, the smart wristband to Communicate, Geolocate and Play or <a href="https://www.nabitablet.com/wearables/compete">Nabi</a>, the fitness tracker for kids are some examples <b>of innovative products that will help both parents and kids to live a better life</b>.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span class="s1">It’s just the beginning</span></h3>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Family Tech (#familytech) will hopefully come with good surprises. First, for the children: they will get tools that will empower them, give them more freedom and more autonomy. Then for the parents: they will help their kids to progress and grow more safely while also keep under control their activities.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The future is bright, <b>thanks to technology!</b></span><br />
<span class="s1"><b><br /></b></span>

<br />
Halloween 2014. The kids are over excited. We are ready to celebrate. My son (10) is an alien, my daughter (4) is a princess and my wife is a beauty queen.<br />
<br />
We are heading to <b><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Belvedere+St,+San+Francisco,+CA+94117/@37.7630751,-122.4502092,16.77z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x808587551c5a503d:0xd061759bf653b443" target="_blank">Belvedere St., San Francisco</a></b>. For those who don’t know, it is The place to be. The street is closed for the occasion, and the whole neighborhood is transformed into a gigantic horror castle. Scary!<br />
<br />
Thousand of people are here. Everybody wears a costume, even the dogs. There are kids everywhere, screaming and yelling. Trick-or-treating is the law. You better have multiple bags to carry the harvest of candies and chocolate bars. Some neighbors give representations in their garage, some others sing. <b>Kids have fun and so do we.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Where is Emmie?</b></span><br />
<br />
One hour into the party, it’s Friday night, our attention vanishes. My wife asks: “Where is Emmie?”. I look around, grab my son and like a tornado, we run from door to door, asking strangers if they have seen a little princess.<br />
<br />
There are hundred of little princesses out there. <b>It’s literally impossible to find her.</b><br />
<br />
Hopefully she will show to somebody our phone number we’ve written on her arm. But 20 minutes after, still no phone call.<br />

We decide to call the police. <b>Unfortunately, they can’t do much</b>. At this point, we imagine the worst has happened. In average, in the US, 911 receives one call like this every 40 seconds…<br />

TV is dead </h3>
We all know that. I can barely remember a friend that watches live programs on TV at the rare exception of sports fans.<br />
TV is dead, but why? Is it because the content is bad? Is it because the format is not appropriate anymore? Is it because people have shifted interests?<br />
First, you have to be in front of it at a specific time but you are a busy man, you have no time for that.<br />
Second, there are too many commercials, it's really annoying.<br />
Third, the content is boring, too generalist, too mainstream.<br />
Fourth, it's top/down. Some guys impose you what to watch.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Newspapers are dead</h3>
We all know that. I can barely remember a friend that reads a newspaper.<br />
Newspapers are dead, but why? Is it because the content is bad? Is it because the format is not appropriate anymore? Is it because people have shifted habits?<br />
First you have to buy one. It costs you money.<br />
Second, you have to read long articles and you have no time for that.<br />
Third, what's written in it is outdated. Yes, even a news from yesterday is probably obsolete already.<br />
Fourth, it's top/down. Some guys impose me what to read, what to think.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Mobile is the new king</h3>
We all know that. I can barely remember a friend without a smartphone. Everybody has one, and everybody uses it a lot, and when I say a lot, I mean more than everything else. Why? Because it's like a digital swiss army knife. You can do so many things with a smartphone these days.<br />
<br />
After having read these three paragraphs, you've learned nothing new, but that's what journalists call giving context, and I'm not done with context...<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's my friends are doing/saying/seeing/watching interests me</h3>
Let's face it, I'm more interested in watching House of Cards if my brother-in-law recommends it because he finds it awesome than if John Smith from the San Francisco Chronicles implores me to watch this XYZ TV show.<br />
Social networks solve this problem extremely well. Facebook is by far the on-line service people are using the most.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What's happening around me interests me</h3>
Let's face it, I'll pay more attention if my neighbor tells me that his house has been broke-into last night than if I read it somewhere. I'll be more interested in knowing more about this nice little castle 2 miles from the place I stay during my vacations in France than when I'm in San Francisco.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Everything else is bullish**t to me</h3>
If Mister Skarsgard from Sweden complains about the drought this summer while I'm in Canada: I don't give a f***.<br />
If Miss Xing in China implores me to visit her nice little village north of Shenzhen while I'm in the US: I don't give a f***.<br />
<br />
Context being set, let's enter the interesting part. What the future will look like.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Crowdsourcing as the unique source of information</h3>
What Wikipedia, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube have in common? Their content is totally crowdsourced. Yes, you can argue that the majority is bad content, but still, the good one represents more that all the broadcasters and the newspapers will ever be able to produce, and there is a reason for that: people love to express themselves and bad content for you might be good content for someone else.<br />
Social media is a way of finding likeminded people and this is priceless. News are not top/down anymore, but one-to-one, meaningful and most often trusted (wisdom of the crowd).<br />
<br />
<h3>
Video is the most natural way of expression</h3>
Since 2009, the smartphones shoot videos in 1080 HD like every other cameras. It's super easy, super fast and people are use to it. On the other hand, the young generation has absolutely no fear of speaking in front of the camera, of broadcasting their life. It is definitely the most natural and accurate way of expression.<br />
Opinions, comments, points of views are best described in videos because that is what replicates the best the real life.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Why geotagged mobile video commenting will be the next big thing</h3>
Now, let's put everything together. Imagine that everywhere you are, everywhere you go, you can watch videos commenting what to see, what's happening around of here. Imagine passing by a place where a friend has recorded a very special moment that you can share with him afterward. Imagine if you can actually watch what just happened near you, instead of hearing it on the radio or reading it on Twitter.<br />
And the other way around works too. Imagine if you could video comment your experience, your life at this specific spot. Sometimes you are a reporter witnessing a special moment like the fall of a tree on the road or a car accident, sometimes you are a travel reporter recording a beautiful sunset on this secret beach during your vacations, sometimes you are just a guy immortilizing a crazy party at a concert.<br />
<br />
<b>It is a new way of discovering the world, of sharing emotions and point of views. It is the new way of helping others as well as keeping memories. It is the new CNN, local, social, made by normal people, for normal people. </b><br />
<b>That is what we are working on and we are going to change the world.</b><br />

<br />
<br />
My other book is in french, so I'll switch to french.<br />
<br />
En août dernier, lors de mon passage en France, j'ai noté que <b>la gamification était un sujet méconnu</b>, malgré le consensus général reconnaissant qu'appliquer des mécaniques de jeux pour rendre une tâche plus agréable à réaliser et plus motivante était bénéfique non seulement pour l'accomplissement de cette tâche, mais également pour l'orientation de la personne en charge de cette tâche à choisir la méthodologie recommandée par le donneur d'ordre.<br />
<br />
En clair, la gamification permet <b>d'influencer le comportement</b>. Après quelques recherches, j'ai découvert qu'il n'y avait pas d'ouvrages en langue française qui traitaient du sujet de manière simple. J'ai décider d'en écrire un.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Gamifier votre site web et votre app mobile. </span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">L'art d'influencer le comportement de vos utilisateurs et d'améliorer l'engagement."</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Cette expérience m'a ouvert les yeux sur plusieurs choses et j'en suis arrivé aux conclusions suivantes :<br />
<br />
<b>1) Critiquer tu arrêteras.</b><br />
Je ne critiquerai plus jamais l'auteur d'un livre. Ecrire est difficile. Respect aux écrivains.<br />
<br />
<b>2) Franglais is good</b>.<br />
Parfois, les anglicismes sont nécessaires et il est ridicule de vouloir trouver un nom qui sonne français. L'un des éditeurs que j'ai contacté voulait que gamification soit remplacé par ludification. I mean, come on!<br />
<br />
<b>3) Si à 40 ans tu n'as pas écrit ton livre, tu as raté ta vie</b>.<br />
On ne s'improvise pas écrivain, certes, mais chacun à le droit d'exprimer son point de vue. A bientôt 40 ans, je n'ai plus de complexe par rapport à ça. Comme mon ami Carlos Diaz le dirait, "la plus belle fille du monde ne peut donner que ce qu'elle a", l'important, est de faire avancer le <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmilblick" target="_blank">schmilblick</a>. C'est ce que j'essaie de faire modestement ici.<br />
<br />
<b>4) Un livre se doit d'être vivant et être mis à jour. </b><br />
La technologie actuelle nous permet de mettre à jour un ouvrage en quelques minutes. J'adopte donc ici la méthodologie "lean". Publier au plus vite et améliorer le livre au fil du temps en l'enrichissant d'études de cas, en réagissant aux commentaires et aux bonnes idées.<br />
<br />
Le livre est disponible gratuitement sur <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/gamifier-votre-site-web-et/id949243420?mt=11" target="_blank">Apple iBooks</a>, sur <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gamifier-votre-site-web-mobile-ebook/dp/B00QOPW6UC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418324669&sr=8-1&keywords=sam+hickmann&pebp=1418324672285" target="_blank">Amazon Kindle</a> au format eBook et peut être imprimé sur demande.<br />

<br />
[Transcript de la vidéo]<br />
<br />
Aujourd’hui, je vais vous parler du système des notes convertibles qui est très intéressant pour vous, entrepreneurs.<br />
<br />
Un peu de contexte : beaucoup de jeunes qui montent leur société et qui me parlent de leur projet, m’expliquent qu’ils lèvent de l’argent auprès de business angels. Je leur demande combien prennent-ils en capital ?. Généralement, on me répond “entre 20% et 30% de la société”. mais quand je leur demande pourquoi ils n’ont pas utilisé des notes convertibles, ils me disent “connais pas"<br />
<br />
Voici donc une tentative d'explication simple.<br />
Prenons pour hypothèse que vous avez besoin d’1M € pour créer votre projet.<br />
A ce stade, il est très difficile de valoriser votre société.<br />
<br />
En proposant des notes convertibles aux business angels, ça permet de repousser cette valorisation à plus tard, tout en leur garantissant un gain substantiel.<br />
<br />
Une note convertible, c’est finalement comme un prêt qui ne sera remboursé (avec ses intérêts) qu’au moment où vous ferez votre série A, c’est à dire quand des investisseurs institutionnels (les fameux venture capitalists) injecteront une somme importante dans votre société.<br />
<br />
Admettons que cette série A arrive exactement 1 an après l’émission des notes convertibles.<br />
Admettons que vous aviez convenu un intérêt de 10% sur l’emprunt de ses 1M €.<br />
Vous devez donc théoriquement rembourser la somme de 1,100,000 € à vos business angels.<br />
<br />
2 choix s’offrent à eux :<br />
- le premier : ils se font rembourser, mais dans ce cas, ils n’auront gagner que 10%, ce qui n’est pas très bien payé compte tenu du risque pris,<br />
- second choix : ils vont pouvoir convertir leurs notes en actions de votre société.<br />
<br />
Exemple : si un investisseur institutionnel (le VC) décide d’investir 5M € dans votre société en échange de 20% du capital post-money, votre société vaut donc 25M €.<br />
<br />
Là où c’est intéressant pour les business angels, c’est qu’ils avaient une clause de discount lorsqu’ils vous ont prêté de l’argent.<br />
<br />
Généralement ce discount est de 30%. ça veut dire qu’ils peuvent acheter des actions 30% moins chères que le VC.<br />
<br />
C’est un peu comme si on ajoutait 30% à leurs 1,100,000 €.<br />
<br />
Ils vont donc pouvoir convertir non pas 1M100, mais 1M400<br />
<br />
Donc, si votre société vaut 25M, en faisant un simple produit en croix on détermine que les 1,400,000 € représentent 6% des parts.<br />
<br />
Pour résumer, le business angel vous a donné 1M € initialement qui représentent maintenant 1,400,000 € (c’est donc une plus-value virtuelle de +40%), et il possède 6% du capital.<br />
<br />
Alors bien évidemment, vous pouvez me dire : "mais le business angel n’est pas fou, il aurait préféré avoir 30% des actions dès le départ, plutôt que 6% au final !".<br />
<br />
Oui, mais, c'est votre rôle de lui faire comprendre que faire entrer un VC en série A quand un business angel a déjà 30% du capital, c’est vraiment pas facile.<br />
<br />
Le VC rechignera à investir 5M € pour 20% du capital quand une personne, qui n’est pas le fondateur et qui n’a pas de rôle opérationnel, en possède déjà 30 pour avoir investi seulement 1M €.<br />
<br />
Si vos business angels ne comprennent pas ça, réfléchissez à 2 fois avant de les choisir comme partenaires.<br />

Si, comme moi, vous avez plus de 13 ans et que vous n'avez rien compris lors de votre première utilisation, voici un guide détaillé.<br />
Ah, et au passage, sachez que Snapchat a refusé <a href="http://mashable.com/2014/01/06/snapchat-facebook-acquisition-2/" target="_blank">une offre de rachat par Facebook de 3 milliards de dollars</a> en janvier 2014...<br />

<h2>
<b>Snapchat, qu'est-ce que c'est ?</b></h2>
Snapchat, c'est du contenu éphémère. L'idée est d'envoyer à vos amis des photos, des vidéos ou des messages textes qui ne sont vus qu'une seule fois puis disparaissent.<br />
Cette éphémérité est très intelligente. Elle vous pousse à accorder 100% de votre attention à ce que vous regarder. Si vous n'êtes pas concentré, tant pis pour vous...<br />
C'est également le lieu pour partager des choses plus intimes sans qu'elles ne soient ni archivées, ni étalées aux yeux du monde.<br />
<br />
Cette vidéo, en anglais, est parfaitement représentative de ce qui se passe en ce moment dans le milieu des réseaux sociaux, et pourquoi les plus jeunes adorent Snapchat :<br />

L'écran d'accueil affiche par défaut la caméra arrière de votre téléphone. Il est possible de passer sur la caméra avant grâce au bouton disposé en haut à droite.<br />
Il est possible d'activer/désactiver le flash en appuyant sur l'icône représentant un éclair (en haut à gauche).<br />

Snapchat a récemment introduit un système de code qui facilite grandement l'ajout d'ami. En montrant ce code à un autre utilisateur Snapshat, il peut vous ajouter à ses amis simplement en pointant son téléphone vers le code, et en tapant sur l'écran.</div>

Sur l'écran de votre profil, vous retrouvez également votre score*, les gens qui vous ont récemment ajouté à leurs amis, la possibilité d'ajouter des amis en utilisant un moteur de recherche par nom d'utilisateur (username) ou en les recherchant dans votre carnet d'adresses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pour terminer, vous pouvez consulter la liste de tous vos amis, et c'est ici que vous pouvez éventuellement décider de les retirer.</div>

Avant d'entrer dans le vif du sujet, je recommande d'aller dans les paramètres (en tapant sur l'icône en haut à droite de votre profil), puis dans le menu "Manage", d'activer le mode "Replay" afin de pouvoir revoir les snaps de vos amis (pendant une journée). Sans cela, ils disparaitront immédiatement après avoir été visionnés une fois.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Il est à noter que si vous avez pris une photo au lieu d'une vidéo, l'icône du volume est remplacé par un compteur. Ce compteur vous permet de spécifier la durée de visionnage de la photo.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On peut noter des filtres géolocalisés, les fameux "geofilters" (météo, illustrations, etc.) qui rajoutent une touche unique à chaque vidéo/photo. <a href="https://www.snapchat.com/geofilters" target="_blank">Chacun peut en créer</a>.

A présent, retournons à la liste des Snaps. Il est possible d'initier un chat avec un ami en swipant une ligne vers la droite ou en cliquant sur le bouton en haut à gauche.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Là encore, je vous le rappelle, tout est éphémère. Une fois lu, votre message disparaitra. Il y a toutefois une astuce pour conserver un message : il suffit de double taper dessus. Il passera alors en gras avec une police différente.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Vous pouvez également envoyer un Snap vidéo ou photo dans le chat, qui fonctionnera selon les mêmes règles qu'énoncées ci-avant.</div>

Si vous souhaitez envoyer une photo ou une vidéo stockée dans votre librairie, vous avez 3 méthodes :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- faire un snap depuis le chat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- télécharger une application comme <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snap-up-send-photos-videos/id948307571?mt=8" target="_blank">SnapUp</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- activer le widget qui vous permettra, depuis la librairie, d'envoyer votre média sur Snapchat</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Une fonctionnalité relativement cachée et plutôt intéressante est la possibilité de communiquer en vidéo si la personne avec qui vous chattez est elle-aussi en train d'utiliser Snapchat. Dans ce cas, l'icône "appareil photo" à droite de la zone de saisie est bleue (au lieu d'être jaune), et, si maintenue pressée, déclenche un chat vidéo. (Bougez votre bulle vers le haut pour passer sur votre caméra arrière).</div>

<b>Astuce</b> : Si vous êtes ennuyé par le fait de devoir rester appuyé sur l'écran pour discuter, vous pouvez déplacer votre tête vers le bas, sur l'icône "cadenas" qui apparaitra à son contact.</div>

<b>Snapcash</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
En partenariat avec la société Square, Snapchat a lancé un service simple qui permet d'envoyer de l'argent à un ami via le chat de Snapchat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pour saisir votre carte, allez dans les paramètres de votre profil. Ensuite, il suffit de saisir le montant dans la conversation d'un ami, de confirmer et le tour est jouer. C'est magique, et cette vidéo promotionnelle le laisse transparaitre !</div>

<b>Snapchat : les stories</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Les stories sont accessibles en swipant l'écran de la droite vers la gauche. Les stories sont un agrégat de snaps qui peuvent être consultés pendant 24 heures avant de disparaitre. Les "camemberts" représentent l'état d'avancement dans les 24 heures (les 24 heures sont glissantes).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lorsqu'une story a été visionnée, il est possible de chatter avec l'auteur.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Astuce</b> : lorsque vous visionnez une story, vous pouvez sauter un snap en tapant sur l'écran (avec un deuxième doigt, étant donner que le premier doit rester sur l'écran...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
[Update du 1er juillet : Snapchat a changé la manière de consulter les stories. Plus besoin de maintenir son doigt appuyer sur l'écran. Un tap suffit à lancer le diaporama.]</div>

Snapchat a récemment introduit une nouvelle fonctionnalité intitulée "our story". Si l'application détecte que vous êtes à un événement particulier notable (concert, événement sportif, etc.), il vous est possible de publier vos snaps dans cette story. En ce moment par exemple, tous les utilisateurs qui se trouvent à Cabo, au Mexique, peuvent poster leurs snaps dans la story "Spring Break". L'équipe de Snapchat choisi les meilleurs et les diffusent dans la rubrique "live".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Snapchat : My Story</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"My Story" regroupe les snaps vidéos et photos que vous avez bien voulu rendre "publiques". Tous les gens qui vous suivent peuvent consulter votre story. Chaque snap que vous ajoutez à votre story sera visible 24 heures seulement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
En tapant sur "My Story", vous pouvez consulter vos statistiques (nombre de vues, copies d'écrans, etc.) et sauvegarder tous vos snaps en pressant le bouton "flèche vers le bas dans un cercle".</div>

<b>Snapchat Discover</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fin janvier 2015, Snapchat a introduit "Discover". C'est une façon pour eux, j'imagine, de monétiser leur audience. Le principe est similaire aux "stories". Carte blanche a été laissée aux médias traditionnels comme CNN, ESPN, Vice, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
L'expérience utilisateur va un peu à l'encontre du reste de Snapchat mais on s'y habitue : pas besoin de rester appuyé sur l'écran pour lire les vidéos, on scroll vers le bas pour lire le contenu relatif à la vidéo, on swipe à droite ou à gauche pour découvrir une autre story, on swipe vers le haut pour fermer la fenêtre, ...</div>
