Coming Up For Air

I haven’t touched or even looked at this blog for over a week, which is quite rare for me. Why? Been busy working — and on the road. Went to Vegas for the Century 21 convention to help staff the Social Media Pitstop for YouReach Media. If you didn’t hear the news, Century 21 signed YouReach Media to be the social media training provider for all of c21. For those with an Inman account, here’s their  story. After Vegas, instead of flying back to Seattle, I flew to Orange County to hang out for a week and see the sun. It wasn’t all sun and fun like you’d think – I actually ended up working for most … Continue reading

Takeaways from the Gary Vee Book Signing

I love books that you can’t put down. Gary Vaynerchuk‘s new book, The Thank You Economy (affiliate link), was one of those books because it had so much I could relate to given I have been immersed in social media & the thank you economy for the past 5 years. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that Gary understands storytelling like few others do, and is a master at it.

Doing Something That Matters

Those you know me know I’m very serious about giving back to others. If you are fortunate enough to be reading this (because you have a computer/internet, nothing to do with my writing), I believe you should use the opportunities you have been given in life to improve the lives of others. I hope you realize how fortunate you are; the majority of the world isn’t so lucky. To me, life is about much more than money. It’s about relationships, people, and helping others achieve their goals. All the “stuff” in the world won’t make you happy if you have no one to share it with. Whenever something or someone becomes just about the money, that something … Continue reading
