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’.
Guess what, my social media friends in Minneapolis & St. Paul? Jeff Pulver is going to be hosting a Breakfast with Jeff Pulver and Friends here in the Twin Cities on Nov. 20th, courtesy of Best Buy.
In place of our regular Social Media Breakfast – Twin Cities, everyone is invited to join Jeff Pulver for breakfast at the Best Buy headquarters campus in Richfield, MN. We’ve booked space in the large atrium dining & conference area at Best Buy called “Sandy’s Place†and will have room for quite a few more folks than we’ve had in the past.
I’m glad to be able to work with Jeff and Best Buy to bring this opportunity to MSP – our social media community is quite active and has gotten a bit of notice these last few months. Jeff’s version of a social media breakfast will include a number of fun differences from our previous events such as live social tagging, and the personal social networking toolkit.
Registration
Registration for this event is through Facebook, which is probably the easiest way to keep up with Jeff Pulver in any case. This will require a registration process on Facebook if you don’t already have one, but if you’re at all interested in learning more about social media and social networking, you should have one anyway.

Personal Social Networking Toolkit
There are some great things that Jeff does at each of his breakfasts, and has a video primer that will get up up to speed on Facebook, here.
There will be a social networking toolkit for each attendee, so be sure to check out the video above on how it all works.
While this is really Jeff’s breakfast, we’ll chalk this one up as SMB – Twin Cities 9, since this was the original timeframe for our event in November. We’ll have the same opportunities for networking and sharing ideas, and trust me, Jeff is looking forward to meeting folks from Minneapolis & St. Paul and building relationships with the community here.

Wow for a long post title eh?
While this was a follow-up for a question Jeff had on Wednesday, it really started me thinking…
First the question:
If you’re NOT an entrepreneur, if YOU work for a corporation and have spent your career as an employee, why have YOU made that choice?
I suspect that many people either are unaware of their true capabilities, or are comforted by the “feeling of security” a corporation can offer.
Personally, I have chosen to take the other path – for good or bad. It’s hard to work without a net, but at the same time I CAN SEE the opportunities that did not seem obvious before.
So, I can’t answer Jeff’s question – I simply want to follow the more interesting drummer.

Here's some math the Senate needs to think about.
If we want to confirm all of the federal judicial nominations President Trump sent over, it would take just over 200 hours of floor time. That’s ONLY judges, not considering the other executive branch nominees.
If we work
I love how Dems want to give illegal "undocumented immigrants" driver's licenses as soon as possible, yet don't want them to have to use those licenses to vote because it is "racist".
The Left has begun to unleash a campaign of vengeance on @elonmusk. But did they even think this through?! Because it won’t end well for them.
Last Saturday, two chartered party buses, funded by a network of left-wing non-profits, rolled up right in front of Elon’s house. They
Today is November 9, 2026 - the border is CLOSED, the streets are SAFER, we’re BUILDING things in America again, and Donald J. Trump is STILL the President of the United States of America. 🇺🇸
