It's all about people.
Last week I publicly announced I was quitting my job as Digital Marketing Evangelist at Marketo ... without a new job lined up ... and without an idea of what I wanted to do next. I needed to rediscover my passion. Moments after sharing the news with the world, my life changed. My inbox, phone, … [Read more...]
Thursday, June 5th is my last day as the Digital Marketing Evangelist at Marketo. No, I do not have another job lined up. No, I'm not sure what I want to do next. I’ve been living, breathing, eating, sleeping, and sometimes dreaming email marketing for nearly a decade. During that time, I've … [Read more...]
Youtility 1. Marketing so useful people would pay for it. 2. The name of a New York Times best-selling book written by Jay Baer, President of Convince and Convert. I've known Jay Baer for over 5 years (maybe 6?). Hard to remember at this point. Suffice to say, we've been colleagues and friends for … [Read more...]
My father is a dentist. You'd think that would mean my teeth were perfect - no cavities, perfectly-spaced, ivory white. (No. No. No.). You'd also think I flossed regularly (No.) and brushed after every meal (again, no.). I brush twice a day (when I wake up and right before bed). I floss … [Read more...]
As I've said several times before - Smile, Laugh, Dance & Are You Having Fun? - and as I often write in my out of office autoresponder emails ... SMILE. A smile is so powerful. So is laughter. So is dancing (just ask Ellen). I'm becoming slightly obsessed with Soulpancake as their videos almost … [Read more...]
No. That is not a picture of me. Nor is it a picture of what I'd like my body to look like. That being said, I'd rather look closer to what that guy looks like than what I look like today! It's about time I got in shape again. I weigh more than I have in my entire life. I could certainly stand to … [Read more...]
Now. Not next week. Not tomorrow. Not in a few minutes. Not even in a few seconds. Now. Right now. Our addiction with instant gratification is ... well ... scary, but it's real. To be clear, I'm in the "must have it now" camp. While I'm not always proud of that fact, it is true. Thanks in a … [Read more...]
It all started over dinner. Friends, introduced via Twitter, finally got together for their first face-to-face meal at Thai Spice in Willow Glen, California. Totally not creepy - they did consider each other friends before they met in person, because of the interaction they already had online. They … [Read more...]
My friend Danielle Smith wrote a brutally honest blog post today. Take a minute to read her post first - Honesty, Take 2: I Still Believe. Actually, I'd suggest reading "Take 1" - You want Honest? I’ll give you honest - first. Either way, read both. Okay. Pretty honest words, right? While … [Read more...]
I'll admit it. I didn't even know when Passover started this year ... until I asked Google. But something hit me on March 24th and I decided I was going "all in" on Passover. For all you practicing Jews out there, I'm sure you are saying, "So? We are 'all in' every year!" Well, for me, it was … [Read more...]
