Beatriz Alemar (@balemar), or Bea as I simply call her, is someone who literally caught my attention with smart comments on Brazen Careerist. Being someone who loves a smart mind, I reached out to her and quickly found out she was even better on Skype than her smart posts made me believe. She’s a consultant by day in the realms of social media and helping non-profits put wins on the boards but by night I’ve hooked her into doing a new podcast with me! I’m thoroughly excited to introduce you to Bea! Enjoy.
My guest on this special episode of Meet My Followers is David Siteman Garland (@TheRiseToTheTop). He’s a TV show host for his local ABC affiliate, podcaster, blogger and (with his new book Smarter, Faster, Cheaper [affiliate link] hitting the book stores today) author. David’s a very smart entrepreneur who’s bringing his knowledge and expertise about how small businesses can succeed. I hope you enjoy this interview.
Stay tuned to the very end of this episode as I’ll begin to lay out what will be happening in 2011 with the show.
Today I am joined by Tim Fox (@sogeshirts). He’s best known for the company that he co-founded in San Diego where he and his co-founder create funny and creative t-shirts. Tim’s also a member of the hosting team over at Tees In A Pod and I’m happy to announce I will be on one of their upcoming episodes. Tim’s a guy who’ll catch you off guard with his entrepreneurial ways given that super laid back style of the way he speaks.
On this episode of the show I talk with one of my youngest followers Cody Strawn (@HeyIAmCody). Cody’s a good kid who wants to get into the online advertising and marketing space and I’m happy to help him along his journey. Have fun listening to this tighter format to the show.
Arthur Cundy (@arthurcundy) is a guy who has worked to create the life he wants to live. Whether that’s through his passion for web design, his desire to own a company or create passive income Arthur has worked hard to make it happen. I got introduced to Arthur as a member of the Solvate community and I was stoked to get the chance to finally talk to him. I hope you enjoy this episode. Read the rest of this entry »
After 2 months without missing a beat, I had a file corrupt, a backup not record appropriately and I couldn’t find anyone to record with on short notice. That stated, I won’t leave you guys without some new content. I’ve decided to make a clips show of some of those interviews that I really enjoyed and give you some behind the scenes on how the show actually has done. I hope you enjoy a look back at my interviews with @gosam, @thebrandbuilder and @drbret. Enjoy!
Krystopher James VanSlyke (@krysvs) is an interesting member of the Phoenix internet community. A seasoned musician who loves tech, he’s been known to break out playing the piano in his office to help create the right kinds of energy in the office. He’s also not afraid to jump up on stage and beatbox his way to a win of slideshow karaoke at an Ignite Phoenix. Krys is also a loving dad to his two daughters and an all around great guy. Come hang out for a bit and meet Krys.
Kelly Garcia (@butterandme) started her business of baked goods not because she had a great business plan but rather that she had too many folks asking her to make cupcakes for their get togethers. Kelly and I talk about how she started her business and the charity event that she’s hosting next week, Cupcake Love In. I love Kelly’s story because it’s not the entreprenuer-by-choice path that is fairly rare in the entrepreneurial community.
DeAndre Upshaw (@deandresays) is one of those people I feel really fortunate to have met in the last month. The guy is super smart and knows how to leverage social media platforms to draw not only attention but actually build communities that benefit a business. Taking bits of his undergraduate degree, his experience in improv and his dynamic personality he’s been able to win job after job in the social media space. I’m definitely looking at what he’s doing to up my game and I hope you will too. Enjoy!
