Video Blogging: Yesterday I tried to record a video blog since I didn’t have time to write. I looked both nervous and pretentious. I still want to make it happen…but I’m not liking how it’s turning out. I don’t know how to fix that. Communicating with a Following: I run into this dilemma. My committed following…
Today I opened Twitter to search the #Echo13 hashtag. I was ticked to find out a festival in Germany, that previously used #Echo2013, had now jacked #Echo13 as well. Great. Just great. Stinkin’ Europeans… Then yesterday I was informed a magazine had reprinted a blog post I’d written without my permission. Stinkin’ Christian magazines. On…
Yesterday was a wasteland. A wasteland of motivation. After lunch I hit a wall and felt like I was trudging through mud trying to get things done. I felt like I completely lacked motivation. I hate trying to do anything when I’m not motivated. So I had two options. (1) I could watch one hour…
I had lunch with a friend the other day. He recently moved his family to the DFW area for a new job. A few weeks ago, though, he found out they were letting him go. He’d signed papers on a new home one week before that. Ouch. So now he’s stuck in Dallas, away from…

And there are those that think before jumping, but never jump. Unfortunately I’ve found those last two are often the same. There are too many people with great ideas that…

I had the epiphany while jogging. I needed to contact them. They were an obvious choice. But…they were a huge company that probably…
Here’s a new project I’m working on to build momentum and excitement until Echo Conference 2013. I’m taking different photos each day of the Echo logo in various states. It’s going to stretch me creatively – having to do this every day. And that’s very good. Enjoy!
On Friday I announced a new chapter in my life. I didn’t tell you what it was, I just told you it was happening. Well, today I can finally let you know what the hoopla’s all about. Today, I hopped in my car and drove 10 miles north to my new workspace. I got a…
I have a brand new opportunity starting Monday that I can’t wait to tell you about. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for about five years now – sort of a dream of mine. And now I get to do it! But I have to tell you – I’m scared. I’m terrified I won’t be…
I don’t know if you’re on Twitter. And I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to follow a stream of 3,000 people actively tweeting. It can get overwhelming. Each voice has a different perspective, thought, and opportunity for you to engage. In the world of Twitter it’s pretty easy to shut off. Just unfollow people. Close…
