Personal Branding feature in Ink magazine

Sarah Benson, a writer from Ink magazine interviewed me and a bunch of other great people in Kansas City on the topic of Personal Branding. It’s a good piece. She did her homework. Although, I have a bit of beef with the headline she used, which reads “Sell Yourself” (doesn’t fit right with the spirit of personal branding being authentic and not contrived …but it’s catchy, so i get it). She does however frame things well by stating, “Personal branding is becoming easier and more important as we share more online.”

Grab an issue of Ink magazine and check out the article if you’re interested.

If you’re interested, I was asked to give a presentation on Personal Branding coming up on February 9th for GenKC at the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. If you can make it, I’d like to see you there. Come say hi! They even made this fancy flier for my presentation 🙂

I’M AT THE BAR FROM THE SOCIAL NETWORK!!!

I had extra time on my hands after my client meetings in the Boston/New Hampshire area …so I dropped by to visit the bar from the movie The Social Network (Thirsty Scholar Pub). I do also realize this is rated an 11 out of 10 on the scale of geekyiness, but I was SO EXCITED!!!! To walk the ground Mark did… 🙂 I shot this video blog and took this picture with my iPhone.

Lately, I’ve been a fan with taking just short-n-simple video blogs using the front-cam on my iPhone 4. They’re not edited pretty, or HD, but I really like how light and easy it is to quickly capture and share something. Plus the vertical ratio of the videos is fun, just cause it’s different than widescreen.
