Episode #19 – @jaybaer


@jaybaerJay Baer, @jaybaer, is known for being one of the top minds in online marketing through his blog Convince and Convert.  He’s spoken at a lot of different events teaching companies and individuals how to stop focusing on the individual tools and start focusing on a larger strategy that helps convert consumers of content into customers.  I’ve had the great pleasure of hanging out with Jay a number of times including a couple of conferences last year where we had the opportunity to get fairly close.  Jay is a very smart and experienced online marketer who I look up to immensely.

Episode #18 – @pamslim


@pamslimPamela Slim (@pamslim) is an entrepreneur coach, blogger and award winning author. You can find her regular musings over at EscapeFromCubicleNation.com and I can not be thankful enough to Pam for the time and energy she has given me over the last 2+ years.  She is insanely smart and someone who I very obviously look up to as you’ll hear in this interview.  The underlying rhythm to both Pam’s book and blog of the same name is removing the fear and anxiety of starting a business and leaving a job that you’re not passionate about.  I regularly find inspiration from her posts and book.

Episode #16 – @thebrandbuilder


@thebrandbuilder

Olivier Blanchard, @thebrandbuilder, is one of the few people who I actively read every word in his blog posts and watch every video of his.  He describes himself as a brand management specialist which allows him to help companies and their brands as each organization needs.  Olivier is one of the smartest people bringing social media and business terms together and having them lead to actual profits.  He’s involved in a number of projects, most of which we get to talk about on the this episode.

Episode #14 – @chrislee


@chrislee Literally the first person I met at a tweet-up was Chris Lee (@chrislee).  Entrepreneur, foodie, family man and organizer of Twestival Phoenix Chris is one of those great guys who I’ve been extremely fortunate to meet, get to know and hang out with over the last couple of years.  There isn’t anyone in Phoenix who I trust more regarding great restaurants than Chris so be sure to check out his Ignite Phoenix #5 talk.
