Sixteen Tons Of Stories That Touch Your Heart
Duane Kuss, Owner / Publisher
As the son of a auto mechanic and a bookkeeper housewife, it was early in life that Duane decided he would become a 20th century renaissance man. Born and raised in a blue collar suburb of Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota, Duane did everything from pumping gas, hauling sheetrock, and playing weekends in a rock band, to afford his way through college. He often describes himself as having lived 16 tons of life, representing the 16 different professions he has explored during the past six decades.

Throughout his career, Duane has been a visionary change-maker, entrepreneur and a master storyteller. As a college educator and administrator, to multiple businesses as founder, partner and owner, Duane has spent most of his life on both the cutting and bleeding edge of new technology application. During the last decade, Kuss has evolved his personal company of 20 years, WOW Training, into a online video storytelling and marketing machine.

While the rest of the media world was shrinking, Kuss was building his online publishing network at the forefront of what we now know as mainstream social media. Since 2005, the DigElog Publishing Network has captured over 3,000 video stories of individuals, schools, small and large companies, non-profits, and published them to the world of the internet.
There is an amazing power witnessed by sharing your personal or company story. Our DigElog network partners have many success stories to share:
There's the regional monument company who were able to expand their territory and successfully market their product online. Their website has held its place at the top of Google searches for years now using the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) power of the DigElog network.
A retired central Minnesota school principal has recently started his own school on the East coast, based on the world-wide exposure and networking opportunities he received by telling his story on DigElog.
A 4th generation small town grocery store is now bringing in a new generation of young adults and families into their store by leveraging the social media integration built into the DigElog online network.
And there's the national drug store chain who worked with WOW Training to produce a video version of their company story to successfully increase the number of graduating Pharmacists considering employment with their organization.

16 tons of life at the bleeding edge has not always been the easy road for Duane. He has survived and sometimes flourished through the constantly shifting winds of new technologies by being a relentless self-learner and a innovative self-starter. His passion for storytelling has its origins in his life-long hobby of family genealogy research and publishing family history books. His first computer was a Apple II back in 1982 and he has stuck with Apple computers ever since. He could open his own mini-museum that would include 12 Macs and every model of the Newton message pad. He has owned 7 motorcycles since 1972 and has put more miles on a bike than most people travel in a car for a lifetime. Riding is still a favorite summertime activity for both Duane and his wife Bette.

A brand new and exciting addition to the DigElog Publishing Network will be a book publishing division centered around some of the recent opportunities created by Amazon and Apple. WOW Training and the DigElog Publishing Network will now provide turn-key, multimedia book publishing services for individuals, groups and companies who are interested in writing, designing, producing and publishing standard ebooks and multi-touch ibooks.

During my 50 plus years of life I have taken great pride in being a "Renaissance Man", believing in the constant rebirth of life. In this same period I have had over 16 professions and have experienced everything from sanding drywall to sitting on the board of a small corporation. Life is a daily opportunity for new exploration and life-long learning. The meaning of life is based on the people you touch and the stories you leave behind.

Hi, Duane Kuss,
Good blog. You’ve put lots of thought in here. At the moment I am looking for profiatble ideas. At the moment I have put up a site to sell Creative's Zen Micro. Conversion is not good though. If you are interested, go see my mp3 player related site. It’s totally focussed on the Zen Micro at the moment and is still growing. You may still find something of interest. I recently added a MP3 link page - you would be welcome to post a link to your site there
