I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Sam Weller on Thursday, March 3rd, 2011.

Mr. Weller manages business development and strategic relationships for Reputation.com, working with corporate, business, and government partners to develop online reputation management solutions for high-profile individuals and brands. Prior to joining Reputation.com, Sam was a Vice President at Tremont Capital Markets specializing in interest rate and currency risk management. Sam is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy (West Point) and holds an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin.

Sam says, the best thing to do to protect your online conversation is to own the conversation. What he explained is that if you regularly reach out to your customers via digital newsletters, tweets and such, they will know who you really are and dismiss the haters out there.

He also gave us a free tip - you can monitor your online reputation for free by setting up a Google Alert. That way you can know what's being said and you can then take control of the conversation.

Liquid Leadership -- From Woodstock to Wikipedia

Over the past 15 years, Brad observed a startling change in corporate America. The latest generation of workers have grown up immersed in new technologies, such as laptops, iPhones, texting, social networks and augmented reality.

This 24/7 connected, early adopter to anything technology driven has created a whole new divide, in which more and more young people are growing up as Digital Natives - comfortable using technology as their primary resource to do business - while the established older generation of Baby Boomers are using technology as their secondary resource.

Unbeknown to most, companies such as Kodak now derive 50% of their current revenue from technology that did not exist 5 years ago...technology invented by Gen Y. Brad Szollose is passionate about helping people understand the changes that are taking place right now in the 21st Century.

Publishing a book can boost credibility and profits

I had the opportunity to interview Dawn Rivers Baker on Tuesday, January 11th at 8:30pm EDT on the GBN Talk Radio podcast.

Oh - first a little background on Dawn...

ABOUT DAWN RIVERS BAKER

Dawn Rivers Baker is the owner of Wahmpreneur Publishing, Inc. The company is a privately held, woman-owned subchapter-S micro-corporation headquartered in Sidney, New York. Wahmpreneur Books, the division that we'll be discussing in this podcast, is a division of Wahmpreneur Publishing, Inc.

Why publish a book? One of the keys to establishing yourself as an expert in your field is becoming a published author. Your name on the cover of an authoritative, well-produced book gives you instant cache and can lead to more speaking engagements, media appearances, and paying clients.

I did my usual due diligence on my podcast guests and what really impressed me about Dawn and her company is that she was well-recommended by Mark Levine in his book The Fine Print of Self-Publishing. Mark is like the Zagat Survey or the JD Power of the self-publishing industry.

Dawn dropped a lot of gems in this podcast. If you're a micro business owner, a freelancer, or an independent contractor, you'll find this podcast full of the "good stuff."

What the heck is "Agent Anything?"

Sometimes you come across some really cool ads on NYC subways. Just yesterday, I saw an ad for a company called Agent Anything. I was like, "What the heck is Agent Anything?" Well, Agent Anything was created to address the needs of two groups of people: Busy, hardworking New Yorkers who don't have time to accomplish all their daily tasks or run their own errands, and College students, who want to make a bit of pocket money, but need to fit their work around hectic schedules of class, practice and more. Agent Anything brings these two groups of people together and enables them to trade their resources: a bit of busy people's money for a bit of college students' time.

On Thursday, November 18, 2010 I interviewed the President of Agent Anything, Harry Schiff to learn more about this ground-breaking concept.

Let me know what you think, okay?
