I’m in upstate NY today just waiting for the rest of the family to show up, but since we committed to NaBloPoMo, I have to make a post today. So, rather than crafting a long post where I thank all the people that have made my life better this year, I thought I’d just come [...]

Chris Brogan has a great post on Personal Branding available here. I was struggling to come up with a blog post about a conversation about the exact same subject and a little experiment I want to try, but the words weren’t coming out.

Jeff is putting on these events around the world with the goal of fostering interaction between his many friends and encouraging networking in a small, fun setting. The price of admission?

An old boss of mine used to describe finding the right niche for his employees by co mparing running a business to driving a bus. In order for the bus to run smoothly, all the riders need to find the appropriate seat. I could groove on this notion, because after a certain amount of time [...]
