Breaking All The Rules With Social Media
Last week I did a program at the University of Iowa prior to an Etiquette Dinner. This program is a freaking blast. I just wish we would have had more time. Here are a few things we talked about:
Why The Job Market Is Going To Be The Hardest For 2010 / 2011 Graduates
How To [...]
Sketchy Internet Marketers vs the “Cool” Social Media Kids
I haven’t posted in a long time. And it might be a while before I post again. But I felt compelled to write this because if you want to learn about building an online business (that doesn’t suck), you need to sign up for the Third Tribe. Like, now.
What is the Third [...]
Leadership Iowa University
Here’s a quick presentation I threw together for Leadership Iowa University. It’s a group of about 25 college students who gathered for a week to learn about leadership.
It’s a program put on by ABI and is like a collegiate version of Business Horizons. I got to chat with some really cool students who [...]
Marketing Will Make or Break Your Business
When someone comes to me with an idea, there’s one question I ask before anything else: “How will you market it?” The fact is, if you can’t market your business/product/idea, you’ve got nothing.
The good news? I’ve spent numerous hours learning how to market products online. If you can tell me about your perfect customer… I [...]
Speaking, Trainings, and Workshops
Did you know that the average employee wastes more than two hours every day at work? The majority of time is devoted to surfing the web. We all know social media causes a lot of distrations… but most people don’t realize that social media can also actually INCREASE your employees’ productivity…
The key is knowing how [...]
Using Technology to Make Your Life Easier
Let’s face it… Most people who are “into” technology are nerds. They may know precisly how each technology works… But they can’t explain it.
I’m a self proclaimed nerd, but for a much different reason. I teach people how to APPLY technology. You won’t learn anything about HTML, PHP, CSS, or any other acronym… but you [...]
The Master of Living
The master in the art of living
draws no sharp distinction between
his labor and his leisure,
his mind and his body,
his work and his play,
his education and his recreation.
He hardly knows which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence
through whatever he is doing
and leaves others to determine
whether his is working or playing.
To himself, he is always doing both.

What I’ve Been Doing For Six Weeks
The last six weeks have been a blur. I’ve neglected my blog… As well as many other things in my life.
But I’ve also had some really amazing things happen… And one special opportunity that I wanted to share.
It all started back in January… I set a goal to make $1000 / month of [...]
Habitudes For College Students + Jack Bauer
Angela Maiers has been someone that I’ve looked up to for a long time now. She’s one of those people that is so passionate about what she’s doing, you can’t help but get excited when you hear her talk.
Tomorrow (Monday) I’ll be speaking with her to the students at the University of Northern Iowa in [...]
Being the Speaker… And the Youngest Person in the Room
I’ve been doing a handful of speaking events lately. The last few I spoke at, I was the youngest person in the room. And at the end of the month, I’ll be giving a presentation to 1000+ people in our company. For presentations like these, our company rarely asks people under the age of 30 [...]
