Gary V. at the Inc. 500
I’ve seen most of Gary Vaynerchuk’s keynotes over the years either online or even live. He’s an amazing speaker but I think that this keynote he gave at the Inc. 500 really stands out. Great stories and points regarding drawing lines in the sand with the way your business operates, social media, and customer service.…
Talking with Michelle Chmielewski – Social Media, Paris and Putain! – Part I
I had the pleasure of sitting down (via Skype) with Michelle Chmielewski who is a native Utican (my home town) living in Paris, France.

From sleeping in luxurious Riads to the floor of a Berber family’s home, it was quite the experience. Here is a…
Rocket V8 – Recording Gets Social
Live music isn’t dead. Far from it. But I come from an area that doesn’t have a huge live scene and a large swath of the population would rather go out on a Friday night to sing along with Bon Jovi covers than listen to original live music. This presents a big problem for lots…
