A Message from the Owner, Michael Roberts
After eight years in the Army (I was in the infantry and deployed in the Balkans) and then became a successful firefighter in the Air Force, I ran into a problem…every morning (as I hit the snooze button countless times) I would sit there in bed fantasizing about staying at home and working from the confines of my humble abode on my own business.
I didn’t want to wake up to a screaming alarm, and spend my days in a corporate environment. My service to the country was very fulfilling and I would do it all over again if I had to. Knowing that I contributed to the freedom we have is an honor and I am forever grateful for anyone who is sacrificing in duty. But something was amiss.
So after 11 months of serious side-hustling I made the leap to start helping local businesses and was literally doing whatever clients told me to. I worked on whatever task sounded good in the moment, and was jumping from project to project. While I always felt BUSY, I never felt like I was doing enough.
Soon I hit my stride and discovered one vital pain point.
The problem was local businesses did not know how to change and adapt to the new online world. There were so many tools and services available for free to help them but they simply either did not have the time to learn them or deploy them properly for their benefit.
I knew how businesses ran and felt that there was a HUGE opportunity for local businesses to benefit from Google’s new service called Google My Business.
Finally, I knew what needed to get done and I was able to stop feeling like I was stuck on a solopreneur treadmill. And I distinctly remember feeling like this was my calling. That’s when I started DigbyMedia – with love, to serve my community especially the hard-working businesses that need to be known for their exceptional products and services. Get in touch with me to see how we can work together. Hit the Contact Us page to chat. Thank you!
When I’m not parked on my couch, working on my laptop, you may find me at Whidbey Island, WA, hanging out there with family and friends or better yet I’ll be out on the streets petting some random strangers dog. Being a Seattleite, this Sports-city has its fair share of fan-adoring teams: I follow the Sounders, Seahawks and Mariners like a hawk, which could be the reason why I love me some blue attire (with a lil bit of green if you know what I mean)
What drives me nuts: passive-aggressive people…and of course bad drivers (I wish there were yearly refresher tests for ALL drivers…it’s like people forget how to drive sometimes). As for me, I am extremely extroverted. That dude who seems to be driving around just because it’s 81 degrees in the middle of spring time while his windows are down listening to loud music…I apologize.
Or not.
Michael
