About John at Work ⚒️
The website, this blog, and the supporting social media platforms are a space for me to ask questions, seek help, and present problems. When possible, I will also answer questions, provide help, and offer solutions.
Profile & Persona
John at Work (the blog and website you are on now) is my business profile & persona. But, it is more than that. I can not articulate it in this sentence, but I will try over time to express it.
John at Work use to be a project of theindustrydirect.com.
At the very least, it shared a root domain.
FYI: I have a life & art persona which leads to other writing and work I produce and contribute to, such as anyevery.org.Blog & Write
I use 3rd party blogging platforms to extend my reach and support the ideas, content, and value I share.
Medium
Social Media
Social media is just not my happy place — I like consuming, I like posting my quirky shit, but I do not always enjoy the commenting and replying. I am exploring social media options now.

About John
My name is John Guerra. I am an ex-restaurant professional who spent many years being the tech guy at my restaurants, while working in and eventually running the front of the house. At the same time, I built websites for local, small businesses. Many of them were restaurants, but also other local businesses. More recently, I have been working with some tech companies.
I want to help small businesses and their employees thrive in the current and future states of work. I use my design, development, research, and information skills + journalism and content creation to do so. I am an advocate, to say the least.
About Work
Work is a loaded word for me, and knowing that meaning in itself is my work. I am researching and thinking about work, the skills needed for today’s work, and the intersection of life and work.
I work as as a freelancer — both digitally and in-real-life.
I work helping my friends, family, and community with their homes and lives in general. By the nature of things, it is often not paid work, but the most valuable to me. I believe this work is valuable to all of us. These people are valuable to all of us.
Weblogging is my work (right now)
This blog and the other blogs I write, edit, design, develop, market for is my major focus at the moment. The majority of my work (of time plan to spent over the next few months or longer) will be on exploring content creation as a business and creative outlet.
Journalism, Content, Design, Development & Advocacy.
These skills and roles are my focus, right now.
About this Blog
Content Commitment
I am focused on sending out content often, even if not prefect. The content will be questions (I have many), information (answers, tips, how-tos), and in some cases, a form of expression Also, I believe the content should be of value to me, the creator, and if others happen to like it, then great.
I think, draft, prototype, and develop in public.
Often I post drafts and update existing content live on this and my other blogs, as I am writing them. This is my process and style. Probably bad SEO, but I can live with that.
Other Channels
I am researching, writing, and advocating across other channels and projects by theindustrydirect.com
How can you help?
Witness my journey, help me discover my value, and support my work, if you can.
