Every time we wrap up a Social Media Breakfast – Minneapolis/St. Paul, we learn new things. Fortunately, this time we had the pleasure of sharing the morning with founder of Social Media Breakfast Boston (the original), Bryan Person! Here’s a quick interview we had.
Yesterday must have been one of those days that I could keep the Flip cam in the pocket. There were too many good reasons to use it, one of which was the opportunity to talk with Justin Ware.
Justin is a local Minneapolis video production professional who not only embraces the ideals and tools of social media, but looks for creative ways to tell his client’s story. We met over coffee to talk about the opportunities, challenges, and rewards of working as independent professionals in the social space.

What a great day here in Minneapolis yesterday. Along with about 50 other great folks, I had a chance to chat with Jeff Pulver about his 140 Conference and his current #140Conf Roadtrip throughout the Midwest.
After the meetup, I had a chance to chat with Jeff and grab a quick mini-interview before they jumped in the car, bound for Iowa and ‘Field of Dreams’.
Last Friday I had a great opportunity to sit down with Phil Gerbyshak and talk about all sorts of things. Mainly social media and current themes or ideas that are going on, but also about what he’s doing in Milwaukee.
You see, Phil figured out awhile ago what a lot of this means, and has been moving ever closer to going freelance and helping companies do what he does best: Make It Great. It’s more than a catch phrase, it’s really about perspective and choices we make.
A couple years back, Phil wrote the book Make It Great. From that inspiration and work, he’s developed a philosophy around doing things right, listening, and helping others do the same. That’s what he’s out to do in about a month.
About two months ago (or so), Phil decided to break away from corporate America and do what he’s best at – sharing his knowledge on social media with organizations who want to do things the right way, by listening to employees and customers, and letting them help guide the way an organization should work.
Here’s an interview I did with Phil on the topic of going independent and about his Make It Great philosophy. (Don’t worry, my camera work should get better in the future – I hope 😉
Here’s some links to Phil Gerbyshak & his work.
So, thank you Phil for the chance to have time to talk the invitation to visit you in Milwaukee soon, and the insight into how to make what I do even better. I truly appreciate it.
How did I miss this? Robert Scoble captured the visit that Bill Gates had with a number of technology and gadget sites.
Some of the sites participating in the discussion are Engadget, Gizmodo, Kotaku, and Joystiq.
The discussion was fantastic in the depth of categories of technology covered. As usual, Bill Gates is a fascinating person with some great ideas of where technology is or should be going. Good stuff – and the best part being a short discussion of Bill’s fun with his Porsche 911 in Albuquerque in the late ’70s. 🙂
Also, if you haven’t seen Robert’s work at PodTech, you should check out his ScobleShow site – there is a lot of great information he’s got posted.
