One of my favorite movies as a kid was Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. Love the Golden Tickets. I always wondered, was the ticket a plant? Willie Wonka wanted to meet Charlie. My buddy Phil Gerbyshak shared a great idea with me tonight - The Succes...

I'm thrilled that we are doing something with some really cool guys like Mike Sansone, Chris Cree, Ben Yoskovitz. These folks are not just great bloggers, but they are so active in promoting other blogs, giving their time, energy and blog space without he...

I have been, for a great many years, an introvert. I would say I was nearly off-the-charts-introverted when I was 16-18 years old. That does not mean I did not have friends, but that I chose them deliberately and with much consideration of thousands of at...

I’ve read through so many SOBCon posts over the last couple of days, and I’ve been quite frankly a little nervous about this moment - it’s time for me to write a post about the conference. And guess what? I don’t know what to say. ...

Bzzzzz...bzzz...bzz...bz...b... The bees are gone. The beehive in Chicago is empty. But the buzz created will live on. What was SOBCon07 like? It was like being in a caffeinated, amped-up beehive for 36 hours surrounded by a sea of never-ending conv...

We didn't talk about better writing, making money, blogging platforms or making the A-list. Hang on... this is a blogging conference right? Wrong, it was a blogger conference. Instead we talked about starting the conversation, authenticity, connecting...
