What has social media done to us?

Each year, I create a master/keynote presentation and will use that for many conferences. For much of 2012, my presentation focused on looking at WHY we use social media as a means to understanding better ways brands can connect with consumers and provided value. I am fascinated by the psychology behind collective behavior and social [...]

When people would ask me relationship advice, or career advice, or even ‘should I write this book?’ advice (FYI people just ask me everything )….It was always part of the conversation. Be an answer.

Which isn’t all that surprising since I do things I haven’t done before nearly every day. Because my life motto is… “Bite [...]
