War Zone

I wrote a post for Deeper Story about all the discord on the internet as of late. Hope you will go read it. I can’t find the discipline to look away. My eyes equally petrified and singularly drawn to the carnage. The wounded cast off to the side, screaming for acknowledgment of their lives and […]

Confessions and Realizations From A Blogging Slacker

I have been a blogging slacker. I have all sorts of excuses. Two cross country moves in less than 12 months. New homes {plural}. New jobs {plural} New friends {plural}. New everythings {routines, habits, plans, all that and more}. Real life seemed to demand all of me and life on the internet became seemingly less important. But […]

The Killer Tribes Conference

My buddy Bryan Allain has created a killer (see how I did that) conference in Nashville, Tennessee, March 31. If you can swing it (I can’t but I sure wish I could), you should go and learn from Bryan and Jeff, Jon, Alli, Brewster, Carlos and the gang. (You want to know how to know if […]

Reflections on a Year of Blogging

I love how anniversaries, birthdays, and seasons serve as a reminder to reflect on where you started, how far you’ve come, and where you want to go. It seems crazy that just a year ago I began blogging. It all began with a short post that shows exactly how little I knew about the journey […]

Cultivating Community

I started twittering a few years ago with the simple hope of wanting to keep others updated with me. (I know, stupid. Who really cares what I am up to? Besides my mom and dad, not a who lot of folks.) This spring when I started blogging, I had the simple goal of having a […]

Nuts About Southwest

Last week I had the pleasure of hearing Paula Berg, Manager of Emerging Media for Southwest Airlines, speak at a Nashville Chamber Small Business Breakfast as part of the Informed and Inspired series. Paula was terrific. She was engaging, honest, and approachable. But most importantly she was informed. I loved learning what she had to […]

A Few Things Chris Brogan Reminded Me…

Last Thursday morning, I had the privilege of hearing Chris Brogan (@chrisbrogan), the New York Times bestselling author of Trust Agents, speak at an event was hosted by JTMarCom and Stage Post Productions which benefited Social Media Club Nashville. I soaked up a vast array of knowledge from Chris Brogan (literally I took six pages […]

Why I Love Social Media, Part 2

Yesterday I started a new series on my blog, “Why I Love Social Media.” This series is for all the folks that are resisting blogging, Twitter, Facebook, etc. because they are convinced that the internet is full of cunning predators. This series is hopefully will give them a taste of what they are missing out […]

Welcome, Again…

When I started my blog back in February, I had no idea…well I had no idea about anything really. I didn’t know what I was going to write about it. Or even if I could write. I didn’t know if I would have any readers. And I certainly didn’t know that my parents would be […]

I'm Infected

Last Thursday, Thomas Nelson hosted LifeWork 2.0, a Social Media tutorial created by Spence Smith and Randy Elrod. All in all, there were about 30 attendees from Thomas Nelson and 20 folks from all around the United States. I love Randy and Spence’s energy. Their passion about this stuff is contagious! And I have caught […]
