It's SM3jRQiNmjMsiju3Fd Keith Andrade, founder of The Morning Byte

"One of my hobbies is keeping up-to-date about the latest technology going on in the business and tech worlds," starts Keith Andade who has worked in software as an service (SaaS) for seven years.

He was a student at Baruch College, a business school in Manhattan While he was there, he absorbed many things about business that be in sync with his love of technology. "The two are intertwined," he discovered. " The businesses of today must rely on technology for success in order to expand and grow. It was cool realizing the way these technologies work."

In the following years, he began working for a health insurance as well as payroll business. "Previously there was nothing but pen and paper, and filing cabinets, and [the new company] were completely disrupting the industry," he recalls.

Then he was employed at monday.com as well as ones.com, selling project management software to businesses. "I enjoyed it. But I realized in order to conduct a productive conversation with my clients I had to be able to do more than only understand the technology but not only understand how their company is run, but also be current with the latest trends."

Keith would spend his spare time scouring the internet and finding articles in order to send them to his family and friends. "I decided, 'I don't want to keep sending them articles every day on something I find intriguing'. So I created the news text service in order to give a quick update on what's going on." Keith created an automation with Zapier along with ChatGPT to find interesting the articles that he enjoys, then summarize them into concise bullets, and then send them as a text message to subscribers," Keith explains.

Social media's problems

"Our customers love social media. Everyone does - it's that immediate gratification" Keith continues. But the problem with social media is it takes all of your time. You may use TikTok to find some short news clips You could utilize Instagram and follow your favorite celebrity to get a daily images of the latest news, but the issue is that every time you start an application, you're exposed to other ideas and beliefs which are automatically displayed in your newsfeed."

Keith believes that the benefit for The Morning Byte is it eliminates the intrusion of any another content that is competing for your interest. "It's a text message; You can access it at any time you'd like. It's your freedom back," he explains.

Some readers look at it in the early morning. Others skim it at lunchtime. "The concept is to be in charge of your time and attention. When you're on social media, you have to get through the noise and find what you want. Social media is a sucker and it wastes your time. The time we spend is the most valuable thing that we possess," Keith adds.

It is said that social media is not an incentive to improve our lives. "It's an excellent way to stay connected but the purpose isn't just to stay connected but to stay connected, isn't it?" he asks. "I go through my newsfeed with all the ads or it's businesses paying to post their stuff."

"I consider social media to be enjoyable. I like it; however, However, I'm not convinced it's a great idea. In my opinion, it's not beneficial for our mental health. The Morning Byte is a place for people who actually would like to make their lives better." He advises people who wish to leverage technology for success or who want to become an entrepreneur need to have resources available to keep in the forefront of technology "All I'm suggesting is that The Morning Byte might be your number one choice!" he smiles.

Importantly, Keith uses his own products every single all day. "I spend nights working until midnight, looking for pertinent information because sometimes things happen in the evening, and I want individuals to be prepared and educated before they begin their day. I choose reliable sources such as Reuters or The New York Times. Forbes can be great; The Verge is a great source."

Keith states that regardless of whether you're a smaller enterprise owner, if are able to provide reliable details that aren't available to a big media company, it's certainly important enough to attract The Morning Byte's attention. "If I find your piece interesting, it's going out to our readers as in the sense that it's relevant!" he adds.

The ability to stay ahead

In his experience working with many firms, Keith was constantly thinking how to take an item he loved and turn it into a business model to monetize it giving value to its clients. Prior to coming up with the business model for The Morning Byte, he noticed another customer, The New Paper, was doing something really similar however, it was in the realm of political news. Keith recognized an opportunity.

"I believe there is a lot worth gaining for people working in the field of technology. Realtors and other professionals are interested in understanding the way that AI technology is impacting the way they live their life." Keith thought he could assist them in staying in the forefront of technology. "If you're a blogger you might be asking yourself, "Do I require the latest microphone?' or 'Is there a tool that can help me make my voice sound clear What are the questions people ask themselves, as there's always a new AI software being released each day."

While The New Paper focuses on politics, The Morning Byte focuses on the financial sector such as electric vehicles, machine learning, and artificial intelligence."
